Luo Ling said: "Based on our current capabilities, it is difficult to research an effective drug to combat blackwater disease."
Liu Yisheng asked: "Are the alchemical potions used by the vaccine group to eliminate black spot bacteria of reference value?"
Luo Ling shook her head and said, "Black spot disease is a terminal illness in this world. Even the potions handed down from the elves are bactericidal potions, not therapeutic potions. They are used to kill bacteria in the environment. No one can withstand that kind of potency. Therefore, we have not made any progress in making potions.
But we thought of another point of entry. From a certain perspective, the germs of black water disease are easier to deal with than black spot disease. Black spot disease is a natural disease, and its germs are not afraid of positive energy. After being strengthened by magic, the germs of black water disease have a weakness of being afraid of positive energy.
Previous research has always had a difficulty: why is it that this bacteria is so afraid of positive energy, but is so difficult to be eliminated by positive energy? Each disinfection takes more than ten to twenty minutes, so the human body cannot withstand this energy shock
However, after my clone died several times, I came to understand this bacterium: outside its cell membrane, there is a layer of defense formed by magic power. This defense layer can resist the invasion of positive energy for a long time, allowing this bacterium to survive.
But this defense layer is not impenetrable. After observing its structure, I found that it is composed of two relatively flat hemispheres with a gap between them. "
As Luo Ling spoke, she projected a magnified image of the demonized bacteria in the air. It was like a slightly opened clam, and it was the two shells that blocked the positive energy.
Luo Ling said: "I have an idea, what if we split the spiritual power thread into very thin pieces, avoid the two defense layers, carry positive energy, and pierce directly into the gap
Just in the death just now, I tried this method on my clone. I found that the result was effective. Once the positive energy directly penetrated into the bacteria, it had no way to resist the destruction of the positive energy and died within a few seconds. "
"Then can we use this technology to treat patients?" Zheng Yuan asked.
"It's difficult. You know, the bacteria of blackwater disease mainly exist in the blood, and they flow rapidly in the blood vessels. Even with my ability, it is difficult to catch them while they are flowing and then pierce the silk thread. I have tried many times just now, and the success rate of catching them is only about 20% to 30%, and the speed is too slow. The speed at which I kill the bacteria is not as fast as the speed at which they split." Luo Ling said, "So even if I use my mental power to kill the bacteria, I can't prevent the death of the clone."
Zheng Yuan said: "But what you said sounds like the most likely treatment method now."
Luo Ling said: "Maybe. But we must find a more suitable way."

At around 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Lichuan's team completed today's patrol. After handing over the defense zone to the team that came to support them, they walked towards the west gate of Green Forest City. This team was very different from a few days ago. Although there were still thirteen people, five of them had changed into new faces. Five soldiers, including Xu Lilei, fell ill one after another, and one of them had already passed away. None of these people fell in battle, but they all fell in front of the pervasive virus.
Lin Lichuan is now acting as the patrol captain, but there have been fewer people running away recently. Most people have given up on escaping after seeing what happened to those people before. Their work has become a little easier, at least they don't have to use knives and guns every day.
When they approached the city gate, they encountered a convoy of three carriages. These carriages were tightly sealed, with golden shields on top, and surrounded by solemn cavalry guards.
"Is this another patient with melasma?" Nelia said, looking at the convoy.
"For three consecutive days, they have almost moved all the melasma patients around here," said Lin Lichuan.
"But I heard that they told those patients that their black spot disease could be cured by coming to Green Forest City." Nilia seemed a little dissatisfied, "But black spot disease is not afraid of positive energy, and they haven't conducted any research on black spot disease. Is this a deception?"
"It doesn't matter whether it's a lie or not. They won't be cured of the black spot disease just by staying in the village." Lin Lichuan found that the dark elves had a strong sense of justice, and explained, "Every time the black spot disease breaks out, there are always some people who can heal themselves. These people are often the relatively strong ones among the sick. After bringing them here, although there is no truly effective treatment, we give them good food and drink to ensure nutrition and hygiene. This will increase their self-healing rate to some extent. This is a good thing for everyone, isn't it?"
"Okay. It's just that my people are used to speaking clearly. You humans are really different." Nilia said.
"Don't you think this is what's interesting about us humans?" Lin Lichuan said with a smile.
After returning to the city, the team disbanded, and Lin Lichuan and Nilia went to the treatment area to visit Xu Lilei. When entering the temporary hospital, Lin Lichuan was attracted by a notice at the door.
"Seeking a solution to the demonized bacteria?" He began to carefully read the instructions on the side, which introduced the research results so far and explained the difficulties encountered in Luo Ling's plan.
Right next to the notice was a shelf with a model of a demonized bacterium on it.
"Use positive energy to penetrate the gap?" Lin Lichuan stood there and thought for a long time.
Seeing that Lin Lichuan was lost in thought, Nilia did not dare to disturb him, but looked at him quietly with a bit of admiration. She did not think that Lin Lichuan was just a low-level mage and should not be involved in such topics that only mid-level and high-level mages should be involved in. She now had a blind trust in Lin Lichuan. In the battle a few days ago, the ability he showed could sometimes be described as a miracle. The means that surpassed the imagination of ordinary mages conquered her again and again.
Lin Lichuan stood there for half an hour. When he came to his senses, it was already getting dark outside.
"Sorry, I just thought of something, so I started calculating unconsciously." Lin Lichuan said to Nilia.
"Have you thought of a solution?" Neilia looked at Lin Lichuan with her big eyes flashing.
"I think I figured it out. I just did a lot of mental experiments in my mind. According to my simulation method, it is possible to do this. But thinking alone is useless. I need a chance to verify my idea." Lin Lichuan said. (To be continued)
