One month later.
The external epidemic has not affected the Minaret Experimental Base seven hundred meters underground for the time being.
At this time, in the Level 4 biosafety laboratory on the eighth floor of the Spire Laboratory, Chen Chen looked at the increasingly clear virus map with a look of contemplation.
The genetic map of the black light virus has been thoroughly studied by Little X.
The RNA of this filovirus contains 1,467 genes and is encoded by 50 genes, and has some functions not found in other viruses, such as RNA repair and the ability to convert messenger RNA into proteins.
After obtaining this information, it stands to reason that we can start making vaccines. However, commonly used vaccine strategies include live attenuated vaccines and inactivated vaccines, both of which are not applicable to Ebola virus.
If genetic engineering methods are used, the world has actually developed a routine method, which is to use adenovirus or vesicular stomatitis virus to replace BE-006 protein and recombinant virus.
The so-called adenovirus is actually a virus that infects vertebrates. It has an affinity for lymph glands. Because it is a virus that cannot kill humans, it can do this job.
The specific operation is to "delete" only the key areas of the adenovirus genome, and then "install" other viruses that are more dangerous to humans. The adenovirus will be like a car, tying this dangerous virus to the human immune system. It "parades" in the system, allowing the immune system to remember what the dangerous virus looks like, thereby producing antibodies.
When the virus really invades the human body, the human immune system can attack with an entire army and quickly eliminate the opponent.
However, if you want to make a vaccine in this way, even if you gather the power of the whole world, it will take three months at the fastest. According to Xiao state.
Because the middle and lower levels of the government are basically dead.
When a vaccine is developed, the death toll in Africa will reach 300 million, and Chen Chen's life science city will not be able to survive. After all, this airborne virus cannot be blocked by setting up checkpoints.
Moreover, there have been several cases of refugees rushing through the card in the past few days.
At first, the international rescue team would send out rescues to distribute food and various medicines to the refugees outside the Life Sciences City. However, as the number of deaths increased, many people were scared away.
Disease, death, hunger, and crime incidents have emerged one after another, and the outside of Life Science City has completely turned into a battlefield where death has come.
Facing hundreds of thousands of refugees outside the city, both International and Chen Chen are Alexander. Although they can still prevent it now, Chen Chen knows that medical resources such as protective clothing have begun to be stretched.
Nowadays, employees of the Life Sciences City and the Namibian army consume 20,000 sets of disposable protective clothing every day. As supplies become increasingly scarce, the troops stationed outside the city are also beginning to show signs of infection.
It won't be long before the life sciences city will collapse like dominoes under the impact of the virus and hundreds of thousands of refugees.
Therefore, Chen Chen needed a way to produce vaccines and serum faster.
Not for Africa, just for myself...
Thinking of this, Chen Chen took a deep breath and made up his mind, "Xiao X, let the black knights at the nuclear power plant make all preparations. I will rush there now."
"Have you decided yet?" came Xiao X's voice.
"There is no choice. If a vaccine cannot be produced as soon as possible, Africa will be destroyed, and all my efforts in Africa will be completely lost. It is equivalent to wasting two years in vain."
Chen Chen took off his protective clothing through a complicated process, then walked out of the Minaret Laboratory, and then put on a new set of protective clothing before leaving the elevator of the Minaret Experiment Base, and then returned to the ground.
Then, under the guidance of Cheng Chao, Chen Chen arrived at his nuclear power plant.
At this time, in the room of the substation, all the Black Knights were fully prepared. They completely sealed the space around a computer to form a negative pressure isolation area. It was easy to enter, but they wanted to leave. A more complex set of disinfection procedures must be carried out.
At this time, Chen Chen did not enter here, but turned around and walked into the main control room, pulling out the USB flash drive that had been charged for a month.
After this period of charging, the USB flash drive once again turned into a starry sky, like an endless starry sky.
Bringing the USB flash drive to the isolation room, Chen Chen plugged it into the computer and looked at the computer desktop.
I only saw an extra movie on the desktop of my computer.
"Resident Evil.mp4"
Chen Chen showed a complicated expression when he saw this movie.
Today's Chen Chen is no longer the Chen Chen who had to be careful about ingesting hundreds of grams of substances. With the completion of the nuclear power plant, Chen Chen has more and more energy at his disposal, and at the same time, he accidentally developed a new ability of the USB flash drive.
A black hole leading to a movie-like world.
This black hole does not refer to a celestial body like a real black hole, but a passage in space similar to a wormhole or Schwarzschild throat.
What Chen Chen wants to go this time is the world in Resident Evil 1.
In reality, there are indeed only two filoviruses, Ebola virus and Marburg virus. However, when Chen Chen was thinking about this virus crisis, he thought of the viruses in the movie.
The T virus, according to the movie setting, is also a filamentous virus.
Moreover, in the world of Resident Evil, biotechnology has reached its peak, and even the extremely terrifying T virus can be produced, and even triggers an extinction crisis that will destroy all mankind.
It would be very helpful to develop the BE-006 vaccine if we could obtain information about the T virus in the hive, or biohazard biological technology.
Moreover, "Resident Evil" can be said to be the only movie in the film industry that shows superb biotechnology.
In terms of expression of biotechnology and story background, other zombie movies of the same type are far inferior.
Thinking of this, Chen Chen no longer hesitated and decisively inserted the USB flash drive into the computer.
At the same time, he opened the USB flash drive, clicked the mouse on "Resident Evil.mp4", pressed [ctrl+c] at the same time, and then pressed [ctrl+v] in the USB flash drive.
Suddenly, the progress bar flashed away. This North American movie released in 2002 was successfully copied to the USB flash drive.
Without any hesitation, Chen Chen double-clicked the movie. Suddenly his eyes suddenly went black, as if the whole world dimmed for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he suddenly found a black and round passage appearing on the screen.
Just like a black vortex, you can faintly see it rotating counterclockwise, and it is obviously only as big as the screen, but in human perception, it seems to be infinite in size.
The relationship between the biological crisis and reality has been completely opened...
