Chapter 598 The virus is the devil, destroy the hemophilic bacteria
Bacteria, fungi, and viruses, if we have to rank them, bacteria would undoubtedly be the leader.
The second is a virus, and the third is a fungus.
Bacteria have existed on this planet for 3.5 billion years, making them older than almost any living terrestrial organism today.
Because according to scientists' calculations, the Earth has been around for about 4.6 billion years since its formation.
When the Earth was first formed, there should have been no living things on it.
At least according to current scientific research, humans have discovered that the oldest species on Earth is cyanobacteria, which has a history of about 3.5 billion years.
The first living things on Earth appeared in the ocean.
It can be said that water gives birth to all things.
All living things on Earth cannot live without water, including the humans who now rule Earth. If they do not drink water for three days, they will die.
The human body is 70% water.
Therefore, the origin of species should be in the ocean.
The tube worm that Li Quan was looking for was a creature that lived deep in the ocean.
Theoretically, the symbiotic bacteria in its body should be older and more powerful than the hemophilus that Li Quan is currently infected with.
Why are fungi ranked last?
Viruses are fragments of bacteria that were born when they developed a crazy ability to replicate themselves.
One thing is certain, bacteria came first, then viruses.
It can be understood that viruses are the sons of bacteria.
But this son was a bit ruthless. After it gained the ability to replicate itself, it felt that it no longer needed bacteria. It wanted to be the boss of the world, so it attacked bacteria crazily.
Comparing the virus to a demon is not unfair at all.
Many bacteria are good and are beneficial to humans and other creatures on Earth.
But of all the viruses that humans have discovered, none of them are good for humans.
Every virus is malicious towards humans and any other living thing.
They are even more brutal than the Japanese devils.
It can be said that they exist for only one purpose, which is to destroy all alien creatures, even other types of viruses.
The only thing to be thankful for is that, although viruses have a history of three billion years, they have not evolved intelligence and other survival abilities to this day.
It would be terrifying if they could evolve various survival abilities to adapt to new environments like animals.
It is estimated that this planet has already been ruled by some kind of virus.
The reason why viruses can become the second largest is mainly due to their 3 billion years of age.
After talking about viruses, let’s talk about fungi.
First, fungi are the youngest, only about a billion years old.
In addition, fungi are organisms that have a true nucleus and a cell wall.
It is a decomposer just like bacteria.
Fungi are a type of organism that is both good and evil, with both beneficial and harmful sides.
The mushrooms grown from fungi as seeds are edible, delicious and have high nutritional value.
Fungi can produce antibiotics.
It can be used to kill viruses, bacteria, and even fungi themselves.
In these ways, fungi are great and selfless.
Having talked about the good side, let’s talk about the bad side.
Just like humans, most of them are kind and friendly, but there are also a few dangerous people who kill people, harm others, and do all kinds of evil.
Many fungi attack humans and other organisms.
It can bring huge economic losses to mankind and even lead to the death of a large number of people.
For example, the hemophilic bacteria that Li Quan is currently infected with can be fatal.
There are also psoriasis, ringworm of the hands, ringworm of the feet, ringworm of the cruris, etc. that cause headaches for countless men and women. They are not fatal, but they can cause itching, redness and swelling of the skin, and ugliness in patients.
If they exist in the human body for a long time and are not treated in time, they will invade the subcutaneous tissue under the dermis and directly invade the human organs.
Causing serious consequences such as the patient's death.
The sooner the hemophilic bacteria that infected Li Quan and others were eliminated, the better.
The longer we wait, the more difficult it will be to eliminate them once they become deeply ingrained in the patient's body.
"Director Li, we will report this tubular worm you mentioned to our superiors and find a way to find it." The attending physician in the ward did not dare to agree directly.
Instead, report and ask for instructions from superiors immediately.
No matter which country, subordinates cannot make decisions on their own and need to ask their superiors for instructions. This is a rule.
…
In the conference room, Leader He had a pair of bloodshot eyes and swept the entire room with a majestic gaze.
"Comrades, Dean Li Quan just woke up and prescribed a medicine that can cure this unknown fungus."
As soon as Leader He finished speaking, a heated discussion broke out in the conference room.
"I, I have just made some progress in my research on the method of using poison to fight poison. Could it be that Li Quan has already found a drug to treat this unknown fungus?"
"What kind of medicine is it?"
"Hasn't it been a significant improvement after feeding the patient carrots? Why do we need to change the medicine?"
The questions from experts and professors came one after another in a chaotic manner.
"Please keep quiet for now. I will answer your questions one by one." Leader He seemed to have anticipated that the announcement of this news would cause heated discussion.
After all, this unknown fungus is too difficult to deal with.
Anyway, after so many days of collective efforts, the progress has been very slow.
No truly effective results have been produced yet.
Li Quan remained silent and directly stated that there was a medicine that could cure the disease.
How could this not shock everyone?
"The drug prescribed by Dean Li Quan is called tubular worms. His treatment concept is to use the symbiotic bacteria in the worms to eliminate this unknown fungus."
Leader He announced the prescription written by Li Quan in a leisurely pace.
"Tube worms?"
“Isn’t this a creature from the deep sea? Can it really cure this disease?”
"I know about tube worms. They don't have a mouth or a digestive system. They can survive because of the billions of bacteria in their bodies. They rely on these symbiotic bacteria for nourishment."
"The bacteria in this sea worm are extremely complex. If we inject them into the human body, will it cause serious infection? Driving a tiger to drive a wolf away is like walking on the edge of a knife."
Some experts are conservative and are opposed to this treatment opinion.
"I think it's worth a try. The treatment concept proposed by Dean Li Quan is very similar to my idea of finding a super bacteria to kill those unknown fungi."
Zhao Haitang proposed using bacteria or viruses to deal with this unknown fungus two days ago.
But this kind of bacteria or virus is very difficult to find.
It requires constant experimentation and observation to finally determine the result.
But this takes time.
"It's great that expert Zhao Haitang supports this treatment plan. Regardless of whether it is effective or not, I think it's worth a try in any case since no effective treatment has been developed yet."
Leader He saw that Bu Kongyi had a supporter and immediately took the opportunity to make the final decision.
In fact, these days he was very disappointed with those experts and professors who spoke very eloquently about theories.
Because so many days have passed, and the three antique dealers who were infected first have become so sick, but these experts and professors don't have any effective solutions.
Now that Li Quan has prescribed a medicine that can directly cure the disease, this group of experts and professors are strongly opposed to it.
No wonder in history, Qin Shihuang hated Confucian scholars and directly burned books and buried them alive.
Now, Leader He also has some thoughts of burning books and burying scholars in his mind.
I wish I could just bury alive two experts who are good at talking but not taking any practical action.
Of course, we now live in a society ruled by law.
Leader He’s idea is just something we dare to think about.
"Leader He, forgive me for being blunt, but the prescription given by Dean Li Quan is a bit ridiculous. I am more optimistic about my method of fighting poison with poison. Use poison to kill those unknown fungi."
Expert Shui Zhenqing is really stubborn.
He firmly believed that only the method of treating poison with poison that he had come up with could cure the patient.
"Expert Shui Zhenqing's suggestion makes sense. You can continue to study the treatment of using poison to fight poison. By then, if Dean Li Quan's treatment plan is ineffective, you may have developed a safe poison that can kill unknown fungi."
Leader He was not angry.
Instead, he kindly allowed expert Shui Zhenqing to continue researching treatment plans of using poison to fight poison.
…
Four days passed in the blink of an eye. There was still no news about the tube worm.
Li Quan in the ward was looking forward to this medicine.
If the tube worms cannot be found, those infected will eventually die.
Finally, on the fifth day, Li Quan received good news.
"Director Li, we have found the tube worms you need. They are still alive. How do you want to use them?" A male doctor walked into the ward excitedly, carrying a sealed transparent plastic bucket.
As soon as he entered the door, he loudly announced the good news to Li Quan.
"let me see!"
Li Quan quickly stepped forward and took it.
"They really are tube worms. We are saved this time." When Li Quan saw the tube-shaped sea worms in the bucket, he couldn't help but smile confidently and gratefully.
"Bring me a syringe." Li Quan said to the medical staff.
Disposable syringes are very common in hospitals.
The nurse casually handed him a plastic syringe.
After Li Quan took it, he tore open the plastic bag, then directly grabbed a tubular worm and sucked out some turbid liquid from its body.
Immediately afterwards, Li Quan inserted the syringe into the vein in his arm without hesitation.
His eyes were cold and his face showed a determined expression.
He pushed the syringe slowly, and a small amount of the turbid liquid inside was pushed into the vein.
Under normal circumstances, it would be absolutely unacceptable for him to do this.
Because human blood is contaminated, the consequences are extremely serious and can even be fatal.
Li Quan was very measured in his actions. When he pushed the syringe, he only injected a little bit, probably less than 0.1 ml.
Bacteria have a strong ability to reproduce.
If they can really kill the hemophilia, pushing them in just a little bit would be enough.
Bacteria are very small. Even though only a small amount of liquid is pushed in, the number of bacteria contained in it may be more than 100,000.
Li Quan was smart and knew that this prescription had not been proven and could not be used on others.
So I chose to medicate myself.
Next, all you have to do is wait patiently.
About half an hour later, Li Quan felt chest tightness and dizziness.
He was horrified.
How did it suddenly become like this?
Could it be that the small amount of turbid liquid injected into the vein just now caused the blood in the body to coagulate and form a blood clot?
Chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations and shortness of breath are generally not good things.
"Doctor, doctor, I feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and a little pain. I suspect it's a myocardial infarction or vascular embolism." Li Quan believed that there was no need to say anything else.
Sure enough, the other party understood what I meant.
"President Li, don't worry, we will examine you immediately."
In cases like this, an enhanced CT scan is usually performed.
Then check the routine data such as heart rate and blood pressure.
After examination, the possibility of thrombosis was initially ruled out, and myocardial infarction did not occur.
It seems that Li Quan's worries were in vain.
Of course, this is a good thing.
About half an hour later, it was still the male doctor who announced to Li Quan, waving his hands and dancing like a madman.
"Dean Li, congratulations. Through the blood test just now, we found that the content of the unknown fungus in your blood has dropped sharply. The content of the unknown fungus in your blood has decreased by about 35% compared to before you took the medicine."
The male doctor told Li Quan the good news.
"Great! If the unknown fungus in my blood decreases again after tomorrow's reexamination and I have no abnormalities, I can try to use this drug on other patients."
Li Quan felt extremely excited.
Facts have proved that Wu Zixu's treatment for tomb diseases is really effective.
At this moment, Professor Hawking and others fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Ru also fell asleep.
Normally, Li Quan would be like them and would fall into a coma immediately after four o'clock in the morning.
Now Li Quan did not feel like he was about to fall asleep, saying that the turbid liquid injected from the gallbladder had taken effect.
The symbiotic bacteria in the tube worms have probably killed most of the hemophilic bacteria.
"Li, Director Li, aren't you sleepy today?" The male doctor next to him spoke incoherently.
He has been taking care of Li Quan these days.
Every time, Li Quan would not fall into sleep until five in the morning.
There was something obviously wrong with Li Quan today.
"I don't seem to be that sleepy. What's the matter?" Li Quan asked back.
"Do you think that the medicine you injected might have taken effect?" If the male doctor took off his hood at this moment, his face would be full of surprise.
"That's possible. By the way, please draw some blood from me for a test to check the level of unknown fungi in my blood." Li Quan asked the male doctor.
Draw his blood, take a sample, and send it for testing.
More than an hour later, the test results came out.
"After laboratory testing, Dean Li, the level of hemophilia in your blood has dropped by about 50%."
It has dropped by half. No wonder Li Quan has not fallen into a coma yet.
"It seems that there is no problem with the prescription I wrote. It can be injected into all infected people." Li Quan had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
Not only him, but all the medical staff also showed happy smiles of success.
