Universe dominance

In the Imperial Palace, Li Fu held a piece of data with a serious look on his face. Judging from the data obtained from various external time and space ocean current channels, the situation is not too optimistic, because more or less everything has been I found some people who were being boarded, and the situation was more serious than imagined.

Fortunately, the empire knew this in advance. If it hadn't been for Li Jinghui's major discovery, the empire might have been infiltrated by parasites. With the powerful spreading ability of parasites, the entire empire might have fallen soon.

"They were all found at the entrance of the space-time ocean current leading to the center of the Karawi world. A total of more than 1,000 boarded people were found in 5 ports, and all of them were caravans of the Fuyun Group, specializing in long-distance cosmic trade. Judging from the situation, the spaceships should have been parasitized in the river system near the Blood Moon Empire, and the situation is not too bad. "

Li Fu made a simple analysis of the data. As the empire closed the country, the empire's caravans abroad also began to urgently recall. Those doing business near the empire found no boarded people, but among the caravans conducting far-space trade, But the person who was being boarded was found.

"As the notice continues, the caravans returning later must be inspected more carefully, especially those space caravans returning from river systems outside the Honor League."

Li Fu thought for a while and issued another order. At this time, he had to be careful, careful, and more careful.

"Brother Fu, the Honor League has contacted us to protest our unilateral blockade of the space-time ocean current channel for no reason."

Beside Li Fu, Yu Liang, Chen Bin, Cao Haitao and other elders also arrived at this time.

"Hmph~ Let them protest, they are already dying and we don't know yet."

"Our empire has not signed any trade agreement with them. If we want to block it, we can block it. There is nothing we can do."

Yu Liang snorted dissatisfiedly.

"The Blood Moon Empire has also contacted us through the Honor Alliance, hoping that we can join them in the fight against the Zergan Alliance. Now these parasitic organisms are controlling more and more river systems, like a rolling snowball. Come here."

"Now we can no longer trust anyone except ourselves. These river system civilizations and forces may have been almost controlled by these parasites. Only ghosts dare to join them."

Cao Haitao and Yu Liang were discussing with each other, and everyone else was also thinking about the empire's response strategies.

"Should we tell them about these parasites?"

"Tell them what to do? Let these bugs know in advance? Now these bugs are in the light and we are in the dark. Once we notify them, these bugs will definitely know soon, and we will be exposed by then."

"Unless we can develop an effective response method and then we can truly declare war on these bugs, otherwise, it is better to delay it now."

Li Fu has never said anything. He listened to everyone discussing and discussing. What makes Li Fu unsure now is that he is very afraid that these bugs will penetrate into the empire and cause large-scale harm to the ordinary people of the empire. As for other things, he is not very worried.

"Let's go to the Imperial Institute of Biological Sciences."

Li Fu thought for a while and found that there was really no good solution. He was going to see the research progress of these bugs at the Institute of Biological Scientists.

…

A secret research base of the Imperial Institute of Biological Sciences, a huge space city. The entire huge space city has been tightly guarded. There are imperial space battleships guarding and supervising outside at all times. Once the space city If an uncontrollable situation occurs here, the entire space city will be destroyed immediately.

In the space city, there are immortal Yuanli masters from the empire sitting in every direction, and there are also a large number of advanced Yuanli monks from the empire who are constantly inspecting the checkpoints.

At the core of the space city, elite biological scientists from the empire are busy. Because they are worried about being controlled by bugs, the scientists transferred here are all people with deep Yuanli cultivation. Yan Jia, Li Shukuang, Jiang Xian He and other top biological scientists in the empire were also dispatched.

At this time, Li Shukuang was accompanying Li Fu, Yu Liang, Chen Bin and others on an inspection.

"Currently, we are making very rapid progress. Because we have living samples, coupled with Gu Yun's previous research results, our most important thing at the moment is to conduct research in three aspects."

"One is to study how strong the parasitic ability of these bugs is, and what kind of people can resist their lodging."

"The other is to develop an immune vaccine that allows ordinary people to be immune to insect parasitism."

"The last step is to develop a genetically targeted devil virus, a devil virus that specifically targets parasites, so that we can gain more advantages in the future war with these bugs."

Li Shukuang gave everyone a detailed introduction while showing them around.

Everyone came to a laboratory. In each laboratory, people from the empire were imprisoned. All of these people were people who voluntarily participated in the experiment. There were immortal Yuanli masters and people with relatively shallow cultivation. , all the various stages of Yuanli cultivation are included.

"Ah~"

"Woo~"

Voices came from the laboratory one after another. The citizens of the empire with little cultivation were easily parasitized by the parasites with little resistance. Their eyes turned scarlet and unpleasant screams came from the voices.

As for those who are at an average level, they are constantly competing with parasites for control of their bodies. Their bodies are spasming and twisting, and making painful sounds at the same time. Some are able to resist and use their elemental power to control the intruders. The bugs that entered the body were forced out, and some of them had their eyes turn scarlet and strange after failure.

As for the advanced Yuanli monks, they are basically fine. Even if they are invaded from the body, they can easily force these bugs out with their powerful and deep Yuanli, which seems rarely easy.

"We have recruited more than 10,000 volunteers, including men, women, old and young, and people of all stages of cultivation. We found that people with higher Yuanli cultivation are more resistant to this kind of bug. People with cultivation levels of There is no need to worry if you are above the Yuanshi level, but it is difficult for those below the Yuanshi level to resist the erosion of this kind of parasite. "

Li Shukuang looked at the painful report in the laboratory and sighed. There was no way. If we didn't conduct experiments, we would never know the capabilities of the bugs, so some sacrifices were necessary.

"Isn't there any way to rescue the people who are being lodged?"

"There is no way, the brain is damaged. The brain is the most vulnerable and mysterious place in our human body."

"You can arrange for some experts to go over. Once you can't resist, help force the bugs out immediately and reduce some deaths."

"Well, we have almost mastered the experimental data. No more sacrifices are needed."

Li Fu looked sad as he looked at the painful faces of each one. These volunteers are the most courageous people in the empire to give and sacrifice. Many of them are scientists from the Academy of Sciences. Now for the sake of science, many people sacrifice their lives without hesitation. This made Li Fu very sad, but he also knew that this was a necessary sacrifice.

"This is our immune vaccine research center. We are studying the characteristics of this parasite and want to find their weaknesses to study the corresponding vaccine."

Soon, everyone came to the Vaccine Immunity Research Center again. Vaccines are certainly familiar to everyone. In fact, the principle of vaccines is very simple and can generally be divided into two types.

One is to remove the replication genes, that is, the reproduction genes, from the corresponding virus genes, and then transplant these viruses into the human body, so that the human body can produce corresponding antibodies. Because these viruses do not have the ability to reproduce, they will not reproduce indefinitely and cause harm to the human body. .

A representative example of this type of vaccine is the hepatitis B virus vaccine. The hepatitis B virus vaccine removes the core RNA of virus replication, making the virus unable to replicate, and only retains the shell of the virus. This shell is the antigen. When this non-toxic vaccine After the virus shell without replication ability is inoculated into the human body, it will stimulate the body's immune system, produce specific immune factors specific to the virus, and retain immune memory. When the real hepatitis B virus invades the human body, the body will immediately mobilize The body's original immune mechanism kills the invading hepatitis B virus and protects the body.

The other is to use dead bacteria and viruses. They are no longer pathogenic, but they are still covered with shells, those with characteristic protein shells. This information is enough for macrophages to put on these coats when they are phagocytosis, and then go through helper T cells to regenerate them. Processing, allowing B cells to release large amounts of antibodies, thereby gaining immunity.

To put it simply, the two principles are to make the virus think that this life form has been occupied by its own kind, so it will not continue to occupy this life form. After all, they seem to be a family, so naturally it will not. There will be no more harm.

"There is something special about parasitic organisms. They are not viruses. They are much larger than viruses. We have used dead parasites to make vaccines, but all have failed. They seem to be very aware of each other's existence. Progress in this area has not been very smooth."

Li Shukuang took Li Fu on a tour, and he shook his head repeatedly about the research progress of immune virus vaccines. After all, parasites and viruses are not the same thing, and the method of studying virus immunity vaccines is of no use in dealing with parasites.

"I remember something mentioned in Li Jinghui's report. These parasites seem to be highly hierarchical. Can we start researching immune vaccines from this aspect?"

Li Fu has been listening. In fact, he is very concerned with the research of immune vaccines, because only by developing immune vaccines can the safety of ordinary people in the empire be guaranteed.
