Because the subject's mouth had been tied, the bite was not successful.
The assistant was startled and quickly retracted his hand, showing an expression of lingering fear.
"I told you to be careful," Li Lei frowned, "We don't have any antidote serum here!"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Team Leader." The assistant apologized quickly.
At this time, the experimental subject who had lost signs of life suddenly started beating again. Not only that, his face had become extremely gray, his pupils were dilated, and he no longer reacted to light. He just bared his teeth and drooled. He roared at the people around him.
Like a rabid beast.
"How can it be… "
At this moment, the assistant looked at the brain wave machine on the side and suddenly said in surprise, "The experimental subject's brain waves had completely disappeared just now, but now they are starting to recover!"
On the instrument, the experimental subject's brain waves began to rise from the original straight line, but they did not return to the normal state, but a weak brain current, equivalent to the deep sleep state of humans.
"The subject's heartbeat can only be maintained at 20 beats!" another assistant said.
"It seems that the virus restarted the experimental subject and put the experimental subject in an extremely low energy consumption state."
Li Lei complained, "So the so-called zombies are just low-energy humans who are always in a state of sleepwalking?"
After a series of tests, an experimental report soon appeared in Chen Chen's hands.
On the other side, Hannibal also completed the experiment there.
The final experimental result is that macaques and chimpanzees can also be infected with the virus, but infection with the virus will only lead to death and will not turn into animal versions of zombies.
Birds and cats are also unable to become zombies. Only canines can become canine zombies after being infected with the virus.
Hannibal even conducted another experiment. He first found the body of a wolfdog that had been dead for several hours, and then injected the virus into the body.
Sure enough, the wolfdog came back to life.
"I don't understand something."
Hannibal handed the experimental data to Chen Chen, "Based on the conclusions drawn from the experiment, the T virus is likely to have the ability to restart dead brain cells, but does this go against the common sense of nature?"
"Indeed, this goes against common sense."
Li Lei on the side also said, "I have seen living people transform into zombies, but can corpses that have been dead for several hours also be transformed? Doesn't it mean that the T virus has the ability to activate dead brain cells? But how is this possible..."
"Actually, this doesn't go against common sense."
Chen Chen looked through the information in his hand and slowly explained, "There is a paper in the journal Nature that describes a similar situation."
Both of them were startled and looked over in disbelief.
"I remember it was an article in April 2019, the title was "Restoration of brain circulation and cellular functions hours post-mortem"... "
"The content of the paper is: Professor Nenad, a neuroscientist at Yale University, has created a device called an extracorporeal pulse perfusion system, abbreviated as BrainEx. This is an extracorporeal artificial circulation machine similar to a dialysis machine, consisting of a pump, heating Composed of filters and filters.”
"In order to test the function of this machine, Professor Nenad went to the slaughterhouse and picked up thirty-two pig heads. These pig heads were slaughtered for more than four hours. However, Professor Nenad still did not dislike it and picked up all the pig heads. Back to the lab."
Chen Chen continued, “After bringing these pig heads back to the laboratory, he took out the pigs’ brains from their skulls and connected them to the BrainEx system. Through this device, special artificial blood was pumped into the pigs’ brains to replenish the brain cells. Delivering nutrients and oxygen, the entire perfusion process took 6 hours."
"So what's the result?" the two asked.
"The results are astonishing. Some of the brain cells in the pig brain were 'resurrected'. The neurons in the pig brain showed spontaneous synaptic activity. Some of the brain cells restarted their metabolic functions, and even the immune system continued to work."
Chen Chen spread his hands, "The general medical community believes that if there is no oxygen for more than four minutes, a large number of brain cells will die diffusely, and if it exceeds ten minutes, the brain will die completely. However, this experiment proves that a brain that has been dead for four hours can still undergo save."
"Of course, actually this has nothing to do with 'resurrecting the dead'."
Chen Chen thought for a while and added again, "This phenomenon only proves that brain tissue survives longer than we thought. We may have underestimated the brain's recovery ability. In fact, through certain technical means, it can be restored again." To activate dead brain cells."
"So, are there any brain waves in these pigs' brains?" Hannibal asked.
"No, this experiment only lasted six hours and ended."
Chen Chen shook his head, "During the experiment, the pig brains did not show high-level neural electrical signals related to consciousness. This means that even if these pig brains are rescued, they are just plant pigs without consciousness."
"Perhaps this professor can try electric shock to restart the brain's consciousness." Li Lei said with some expectation.
"Maybe the other party has done this secretly, but he can't announce it."
Chen Chen sneered, "Because just by publishing this experimental paper, he has encountered opposition from many people. Some people have begun to worry that this experiment will cause physiological problems, and others are worried that this experiment will cause This creates difficulties in organ donation because donors donate their organs after brain death, but if brain death is reversible, no one will be willing to donate their organs, etc."
"Sometimes I really want to give these ethical monsters a good beating."
Li Lei said helplessly, "Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean. The T virus cannot actually bring the dead back to life. The reason why it can resurrect a recently deceased corpse is because the brain cells of the corpse have not completely died, and the T virus can't bring the dead back to life." The BrainEx system, for example, has the ability to revive some brain cells."
"Yes, but this also proves the magic of the T virus."
Hannibal on the side concluded, "The BrainEx system still needs to remove the brain from the skull to perform perfusion circulation, but the T virus can directly pull the dying brain cells back from the edge of death. If used properly , this virus may have the potential to treat brain injury and brain death..."
"If you can remove the virulence of the virus, there may be real potential."
Chen Chen nodded when he heard this, "The real potential of the T virus is actually in the military. Creating zombies is just a side effect of it. The real function of the T virus is actually to enable the host to undergo genetic recombination..."
As he spoke, Chen Chen suddenly stood up, took out a marker, and wrote three letters on a whiteboard behind him—
BOW.
"This is the true role of the T-Virus."
Chen Chen said, "Through genetic recombination, we can create extremely lethal 'organic biological weapons'..."
