Chapter 662: The core team members are all great, a major breakthrough
Although the Faxiang Pharmacological Dialectics is only one of many schools of pharmacological medicine, it is all-encompassing.
As long as you truly understand it, you will be able to draw inferences about other situations, see the big picture from the subtle, and understand all the pharmacology.
It can be easily applied in practical cases.
Li Quan's current Dharma-image pharmacology dialectics is at 87.5% of the master level.
I am just a little bit away from being promoted to the level of imperial physician.
With his current level of medication, it would be quite difficult for him to develop a prescription that could deal with the zombie virus.
Li Quan is a country kid who has suffered since childhood and has a tenacious character.
Never give up easily when faced with setbacks.
He gritted his teeth and kept trying new prescriptions and then testing their efficacy.
The other members of this elite team at Huier Hospital are also in their respective positions, working hard to delve into the treatment areas in which they are best specialized.
…
In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
The patient infected with the zombie virus who was used as a specimen for them was still fixed on the operating table.
He needs to be fed with fresh blood every day to keep him alive.
Ye Ru felt sorry for the patient and prepared some rice, stir-fried meat and fried eggs to feed the patient. However, the patient vomited out whatever he was fed.
What is considered delicious food in the eyes of normal people is probably the same as feeding shit to this zombie virus infected person.
Only if he is fed fresh blood will he swallow it in big gulps, appearing extremely greedy.
On this day, the team led by Li Quan was busy doing research when the door of the laboratory suddenly opened.
Team leader Dai walked into the laboratory with a cool look on his face.
This was also the first time in seven days that Team Leader Dai had entered their laboratory for inspection.
"Oh, you are all busy! How is the neurological disease data that I asked you to observe and record going?" Team leader Dai swept his eyes across the entire laboratory and then stared at Li Quan, who was in the lead.
This person's pride comes from deep in his bones.
When asking questions, both his tone and demeanor showed that of a senior and superior person.
"We have recorded it on time. Please review it, Team Leader Dai."
Li Quan took a thick stack of records and handed them to Team Leader Dai.
Although computers are now basically used in offices, which are convenient, fast, and flexible to modify, the course of disease and medical history are generally required to be recorded in writing.
There will also be a stub backup on the computer.
Team leader Dai took it and flipped through it casually, with no expression on his face.
"Well, basically there are no mistakes, it's considered standard. You continue to record, and as for those miscellaneous research, there is no need to continue. The zombie virus cannot be dealt with by your conventional means."
Team leader Dai apparently also discovered that the team led by Li Quan was secretly doing other research.
In this regard, he did not say a word of praise, but instead poured cold water on Li Quan and others.
"So, Team Leader Dai has tried many treatment methods?" Li Quan asked calmly.
"Well, I and the experts have tried all the methods we can think of. All the results are ineffective. I can tell you clearly that your experiments are a sheer waste of time."
Team leader Dai said in a condescending tone.
"I wonder what treatment methods Team Leader Dai and the other experts have tried? Can you provide us with medical records and prescriptions so we can learn from them?" Li Quan put on a very humble attitude.
It has a bit of the artistic conception of "let him be strong, let the breeze blow across the hills".
"The experimental data are all top secret. You are just helping out as assistants, so we cannot provide them to you for the time being."
Team leader Dai directly rejected Li Quan's request.
Originally, Team Leader Dai was going to say that you are just odd jobs and there is no need for you to know the core secrets.
Maybe he felt that since he was a team leader after all, it was inappropriate to say such things.
So I changed my words in time.
"Well, all right then. Let's continue with our chores."
Li Quan sneered in his heart.
This has squeezed the team at Weill Hospital out of the core research team.
It is true that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.
Where there are people, there is the world and there is competition.
Even though Li Quan and his team put aside all their work and rushed over to study the treatment plan for patients infected with the zombie virus, despite the huge risk of being infected at any time, they were still given the cold shoulder by the overly arrogant Team Leader Dai.
If it weren't for the invitation from the national elder, how could Li Quan lead the team here?
With Li Quan's current fame and medical skills, there are countless people who would like to ask him to see patients.
This Team Leader Dai really has no sense of the overall situation.
However, since the higher-ups have chosen this person as the team leader, there must be some considerations.
Those who can become leaders are not necessarily powerful, they may be related to others, or have decent professional skills and are highly loyal to their superiors. They are trustworthy.
That's why I entrusted you with such an important task.
"Hehe, our Huier Hospital is the top-notch special-grade hospital in the country after all. I didn't expect you to come here to do odd jobs. I really don't know how awesome the core research team is? Who are they?"
Tang Zhengyuan has always had such a straightforward temper.
Especially when he encounters something that makes him extremely unhappy, he is not afraid of offending his leader at all.
This is quite similar to Li Quan.
The two of them have similar tastes.
This is probably the reason why Li Quan appreciates him and focuses on training him.
"Young man, don't be unconvinced. Any member of the core research team is a leader in the domestic medical field. Although your Huier Hospital has been strong in the past two years, its real ability is definitely not comparable to that of the old experts.
I'll just mention two of them and it'll be enough to scare you to death.
Professor Song Bo, known as the God of Surgery, is second to none in the cardiovascular field. Who dares to claim to be first?
Professor Hawking, who is known as the top expert in brain science, is a brain expert at the Beijing No. 1 Hospital. You can go online to check how powerful he is in the field of brain science.
You can also ask someone who knows about it.”
Team leader Dai mentioned two people in a row who he thought were the most awesome.
Li Quan's face twitched.
Professor Song Bo and Li Quan had a duel a few years ago. At that time, Professor Song Bo was convinced by Li Quan.
As for Professor Hawking, the top expert in brain science, he not only admires Li Quan very much, but Li Quan is also the savior of his family.
Last time they were infected with an unknown fungus. If Li Quan hadn't developed a prescription that could control that unknown fungus at the last minute, I'm afraid the grass on the graves of Mr. Hawking's family would have grown taller than the people.
"These people are really amazing. I wonder where Team Leader Dai comes from? Could you introduce yourself so that we can broaden our horizons?" Professor Tang said with narrowed eyes.
They say that older ginger is spicier.
This is absolutely true.
Professor Tang directly defeated Team Leader Dai.
And it was so natural that Team Leader Dai had no way to escape and could only respond positively.
"Humph, you must think that I am a good-for-nothing team leader and that I became the team leader because I have connections above me. You really look down on me. In the field of neurology, I have published five SCI-level papers with a decent impact factor. If you want to verify it, just search for Dai Guoqiang's neurology papers."
Team leader Dai snorted coldly, appearing very displeased.
In anger, he even revealed some of his true colors.
It turns out that Team Leader Dai is a top expert in the field of neurology. No wonder his superiors chose him to be the team leader.
Because the zombie virus attacks the human nervous system the most.
"Neurologist Dai Guoqiang, it turns out to be you. I've heard of you for a long time!" Li Quan flattered with a smile.
Li Quan really had no idea how powerful Dai Guoqiang was.
It was just a few polite words.
After all, he is the team leader and has considerable power.
There's absolutely no need to get into a fight over such a small matter.
It would be better to wait until Huier Hospital develops a treatment plan for the zombie virus before slapping Team Leader Dai in the face.
"Okay, you continue to record the progression of neurological disease in infected patients."
Team Leader Dai left Laboratory No. 14 with a sullen face.
Li Quan and his team members were not affected at all and continued to do their research.
Maybe it's true as the old saying goes, pressure creates motivation.
Team leader Dai ran in and looked down on them, which instead aroused their desire to win.
I want to work hard to prove myself and not let Huier Hospital be tarnished.
The two microbial research members responsible for studying the method of fighting poison with poison seem to have made a major discovery.
"Dean, Dean, please come and take a look. This methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus seems to have a certain effect on the zombie virus. Other bacteria and viruses will be killed quickly or enter a dormant state as long as they are put into the zombie virus group.
But this type of staphylococcus can survive the attack of the zombie virus and can barely compete with it. This is incredible."
Li Quan was greatly encouraged after hearing the reports from the two.
When I walked over and took a look, that was indeed it.
The electron microscope screen showed zombie viruses covered with tentacles. Their bodies looked a bit like octopuses.
Surrounded by numerous zombie viruses, there are several spherical, golden bacteria that are particularly eye-catching.
These bacteria are Staphylococci.
Although they are not at an advantage in numbers, they are able to remain intact under the attack of the zombie virus.
"Dean, you see, these MRSA can prevent the zombie viruses from absorbing nutrients. It's a pity that the cell membranes of these zombie viruses are too tough.
Otherwise, MRSA will surely have a lot to offer.”
The two microbiology researchers said with regret.
"Well, this discovery is very exciting. You guys continue your research. I'll find a way to weaken the zombie virus's defense capabilities."
Li Quan was very excited.
After so many days of research, we have made a major breakthrough.
How can we weaken the defense ability of the zombie virus?
Directly attacking them with potions is like tickling them, which is unlikely to be effective.
Li Quan began to ponder and look for a breakthrough.
Now that the bacteria that can fight the zombie virus have been found, all that remains is to try to find ways to weaken the zombie virus's defenses.
Four days passed and Li Quan still had no clue.
He tried nearly a hundred prescriptions and even used Western medicine.
But still no progress.
Looking at the zombie viruses in the culture dish under the microscope, they are dancing their tentacles wantonly and greedily sucking the nutrients in the nutrient solution.
A flash of inspiration suddenly came to Li Quan's mind.
There is no effect in preparing potions and actively attacking these zombie viruses.
So is it possible to try another method and allow these zombie viruses to absorb the medicine as nutrients?
Do it as soon as you think of it. Through these days of observation and understanding, Li Quan has already known what kind of nutrients the zombie virus likes to absorb.
He immediately began to prepare it.
…
Although the medicine that was prepared at the beginning was suitable for the zombie virus, the zombie virus was very cunning and seemed to have sensed the danger.
After absorbing a little, he refused to absorb any more medicine.
Li Quan further improved his prescription and conducted repeated tests.
He himself couldn't remember how many times he had improved it. This time, he mixed the boiled medicine into the nutrient solution, and then dropped a drop into the zombie virus group.
Under the microscope, Li Quan could clearly see that the zombie viruses first absorbed some nutrients from the nutrient solution.
He watched nervously.
Next, based on previous experiments, the zombie virus will stop absorbing nutrients in the nutrient solution.
"Wow, it's still absorbing, that's great!"
Li Quan couldn't help but clench his fists in excitement.
[You have successfully performed the Dharma Image Pharmacology Dialectics, and gained 1000 skill points. ]
It seems that the prescription was successful this time.
He was rewarded with 1,000 skill points.
【Dharma-image pharmacology dialectics, master level 97.5%.】
Li Quan was pleasantly surprised to find that the experience value of pharmacology, which was the most difficult to improve, actually increased by 10%.
He is only a little bit away from being promoted to a higher level of imperial physician.
"Just find a way to get 250 skill points." Li Quan can get 10 skill points every time he dispenses medicine to a patient. Sometimes, if the prescription is self-created, there will be extra rewards.
He has earned 100, 50, and 60 skill points.
This is the first time I made 1,000 points directly.
"Eat, eat. When you have eaten enough, I will test your defense capabilities."
Li Quan showed a sinister smile like a big bad wolf.
The zombie virus in the container had no idea that Li Quan had tampered with the nutrient solution and they greedily absorbed the nutrients in it.
About two hours later, Li Quan discovered that some small spots similar to bubbles began to appear on the cell membrane of the zombie virus.
Those inflated dots look like blown-up balloons, and the cell membrane has obviously become many times thinner.
This is equivalent to weakening the defense of the zombie virus in disguise.
"Bring me some MRSA!"
Li Quan saw that the time was almost up, so he immediately took some methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and put it into the nutrient container.
He and two microbiology researchers were watching nervously.
Want to see if Staphylococcus can successfully break through the defense this time?
This takes time.
All you can do is wait patiently.
An hour passed , and the cell membrane of the zombie virus was still as solid as a rock.
Two hours, three hours...
About seventy-six hours had passed, which is more than three days.
Among the zombie viruses in the culture vessel, one of the weaker zombie viruses finally had a protrusion on its cell membrane broken.
Staphylococcus immediately used that place as a breakthrough point and launched a fierce attack .
