Luo Ling was lying on the bed, the germs had already invaded her head, her body was basically destroyed, except for the border where the germs were engulfing her body, she could still feel pain, the rest of the body was no longer able to feel anything. However, her powerful and meticulous mental power penetrated into every corner of her body, observing the process of her body's decay, watching the battle between the immune system and the demonized bacteria, and understanding the way the demonized bacteria grew and divided. In the one and a half days after Jessica's death, she allowed the germs to invade and used her body as a living textbook for studying pathology.
What is even more rare is that she made a model of everything she observed in the microscopic world in the meditation world, and then projected it into reality to help the members of the research team study the mechanism of blackwater disease.
Ten minutes later, Luo Ling died, but her spiritual power still existed. It conscientiously sensed the changes in bacteria after death until the corpse turned completely black.
Just outside her bed was a double-layered pale golden shield. Outside the shield were many people, many of whom were running around, recording, and calculating. One person stood with his hands behind his back, quietly staring inside. It was Luo Ling herself.
Mao Kai came to her and asked, "I hate the feeling of dying again."
"You've only died twice, and I've experienced this four times." Although only one of their avatars died, Luo Ling and Mao Kai experienced the pain of this disease over and over again. Whether it was the bacteria directly devouring the body or the various complications that came one after another. Even for them with strong mental strength, it was a very difficult experience.
Mao Kai said with emotion: "Fortunately, there is no ICU here to rescue them, otherwise I would rather choose to self-destruct than to suffer that kind of pain repeatedly."
Luo Ling glanced at him, and finally nodded in agreement. In these few days, they had experienced too many deaths, others' and their own. The atmosphere in the entire city was intertwined with grief and depression. It was not easy to maintain a fighting spirit in such an environment.
Whether it is the optimistic Mao Kai or the calm Luo Ling, they now look more profound than a few days ago. From another perspective, death is a catalyst for people to mature. Even people who are used to death cannot remain unmoved when facing their own death. Luo Ling feels that every death of her clone is a process of transformation for her, but on this path of transformation and growth, she doesn't know where she is now.
The spiritual power she placed on her clone passed through the shield and returned to her soul. She raised her hand, and a bright ball of positive energy appeared inside the shield, and the demonized bacteria also met their own death.
When Luo Ling finished cleaning up, the Elf Mage Di Ning came over and said, "The death of your clone just now solved a lot of previous problems. The research team will have a meeting soon."
Because this serious plague could affect any creature on the continent, the elves and humans cooperated closely. Since Dining and Maya returned to Green Forest City, the elves sent more priests and wizards to participate in the research. Although the methods they used were very different from those of humans, the elves' research on vitality was still extremely valuable.
The three of them came to the meeting room next door and found that most of the other people had already arrived. There were more than 20 people attending the meeting. The person who presided over the meeting was Zheng Yuan from the Ministry of Science and Technology. He briefly introduced the findings of the past few days, and then said: "Due to the sacrifices of Luo Ling and Mao Kai in the past few days, our understanding of blackwater disease has risen to a higher level. However, how to treat and prevent it, we still need a practical route. Previously, we divided prevention and treatment into two routes, with two groups responsible for each. Today we will decide on the action plans to be taken in these two aspects separately."
Zheng Yuan himself is the head of the prevention team. He said: "We already have a preliminary plan for the vaccine for Black Water Disease. The demonized virus of Black Water Disease is too powerful to make a safe and effective vaccine. However, combined with the literature of the elves, my team found that Black Spot Disease is much weaker than Black Water Disease in all aspects. Trying to make a vaccine from the Black Spot Disease bacteria is a good method."
Maya said, "Magna and I have done some research in this regard. Humans and elves have studied drugs to eliminate black spot disease in history. Many of these drugs have been proven to be effective, and we have mastered their formulas. Based on the concepts of inactivated vaccines and attenuated vaccines you provided, I found that several drugs may be used to make vaccines after being improved."
"This is just like using cowpox to make smallpox vaccine, right? However, are you sure that the antibodies formed by the black spot disease vaccine can fight against the demonized bacteria of blackwater disease? These are completely two orders of magnitude. Blackwater disease can be considered a biological weapon." Mao Kai said.
"So we have to add our plan to the use of vaccines," Morey said. "You are right. The antibodies produced by the black spot disease vaccine are definitely not enough to fight blackwater disease. However, as long as we have these antibodies, we have the opportunity to strengthen them. Several of our wizards and elves have developed a kind of medical magic. It is modified from the elves' 'strengthening magic', which can use magic to strengthen the human immune system.
This kind of magic is not difficult and lasts for more than a day. We have enough mages to keep the people who receive the vaccine in a state of enhanced immunity for one to two weeks. As long as we can do this, we can ensure that these people are healthy and can take them away from here, so that Blackwater disease will not develop into any new patients. "
Because of the presence of the elves, Liu Yisheng vaguely said, "I have the ability to see the possibility of historical changes. There have been no such events in Green Forest City in other historical events, but the Empire has experienced two major plagues. They were not this kind of black water disease, but the development process sounded very similar to this time. In those two periods of history, the plague changed the pattern of the continent to a great extent. It seems that the source is here with the Duke of Green Forest City. At that time, the Empire used blood strengthening to strengthen the body to resist the two plagues. Every time, people with several bloodlines have stronger resistance to a certain disease. Many people relied on the injection of diluted bloodlines to become bloodline servants who could not grow and survived the two plagues. I think the method of strengthening the body is similar to the principle of bloodlines. Although the effect should not be as good as bloodlines, it has no sequelae."
Zheng Yuan asked: "Is it possible for us to obtain this bloodline?"
Liu Yisheng shook his head and said, "Impossible. The Empire spent a lot of effort and many people died to detect the effective bloodline. It is not possible to test the effective bloodline for Blackwater Disease in a short period of time. Water from afar cannot quench a nearby fire."
Luo Ling said: "Well, it sounds like vaccines are more feasible. So what are you going to do specifically?"
Zheng Yuan said: "After Chen Hansheng's troops arrived the day before yesterday, we sent out cavalry to search the surrounding villages. We found a village where black spot disease was breaking out. We plan to bring back enough black spot patients from there. Then we will extract black spot bacteria from their blood and try to make a vaccine. Now what we lack is mainly time."
After listening to Zheng Yuan’s narration, many people expressed satisfaction with the progress of vaccine research.
Zheng Yuan then said to Luo Ling: "Teacher Luo, please tell us about the progress of the treatment team. Do you have any ideas that can play a role in the treatment of the disease?" (To be continued)
