Tick, tick.
The clock kept turning, and on the big screen in the emergency command center, the countdown to the departure of team b was only 4:00:00, four hours.
The countdown to blowing up the channel is ten hours left.
It has been two hours since Team A's problem team entered the dreamland. The physical passage in Jiangxing Town is still stable, and more personnel have been put in place to guard it. Team b and team c are also rapidly gathering, and there will be more magicians in the team.
Everywhere in the command center is busy, and personnel from various departments are making various coordination and arrangements.
Master Tong was talking with Dr. Shen, Dr. Jiang and others. Long before Team A set off, when Gu Jun was still connected online, they talked about whether they could send people to sleep mentally and follow the communication with him like last time. The spirit connects and passes. Spiritual Dreaming will no longer consume that physical channel.
They don't know where the Carr Plain and the Worm House are, but Dr. Jiang said that as long as there is a connection, they can try it theoretically.
"Don't let Wu Shiyu enter the dream." At that time, Gu Jun said solemnly, "She may bring bad luck if she enters the dream, and the Great Elder Atal has specially confessed it."
The problem is that Wu Shiyu is the person with the closest spiritual connection with him, but Gu Jun said that if he really wants to take this step, he should find Wang Ruoxiang, she knows how to do it.
Extraordinary times have the principle of employing people in extraordinary times. Wang Ruoxiang has already set off from the isolation base silently, heading for the dreaming team that is also gathering...
"It's been two hours." Dr. Shen was really worried, "I don't know what's going on with Ah Jun and the others."
At the same time, another thing that made the command center nervous was the "Laihua tree" tree species, which was given by Atal, and it must be of great use.
The scientific research fleet has already planted the tree seeds in the greenhouse. Since Gu Jun has repeatedly emphasized that Atar said to plant naturally, the fleet follows this principle and is cultivated and cared for by a team of botanists. Zhang Jinmin, the general manager of the fleet, said: "We will never let the organization down."
"Master Tong, the condition of the corpse is not right."
The number of patients and deaths in the world, the whole country, and Shanhai City is still surging, and Wang Guoxin's corpse has been transferred to the scientific research fleet for further research.
At this time, an 8x-speed surveillance video was played on the big screen of the command center, and everyone could quickly and clearly see the changes in Wang Guoxin's body.
The medical staff were particularly chilled when they saw it. Xiao Huiwen, who had watched the dissection of ghouls before, muttered in surprise: "Too fast, too fast..."
Wang Guoxin's body has always maintained a high temperature of over 40 degrees, which is higher than before his death. This is not a strange thing, because after the death of patients with encephalitis and pneumonia, due to the action of bacteria and viruses, the body's decomposition and heat production activities increase, and it is normal for the body to heat up for a period of time.
But other corpse phenomena are too fast!
Corruption usually doesn't start to appear until 24 hours after death. Wang Guoxin's whole body was obviously rotted less than 5 hours after his death.
The first is the lungs, then the abdomen, which swells high like blowing air, and then bloody pus gushes out from the mouth and nasal cavity, and dense pustules appear on the skin all over the body, which swell to a certain extent without external force. It exploded, splashing out a puddle of pus with a strange smell.
The whole body is rotting like this, it must be that the whole body tissues are devoured and decomposed by bacteria.
"Bacteremia." Xiao Huiwen made this judgment, "When the patient died, Legionella had already entered the blood from the lesion, and bacteremia developed."
Bacteria in the lungs would not spread throughout the body if it were not for bacteremia.
Bacteremia is when bacteria enter the blood, multiply in the human blood, and spread throughout the body along with the blood flow. Even bacteremia caused by common bacteria can cause extremely serious consequences, leading to acute failure of multiple organs, and the mortality rate of bacteremia complicated by Streptococcus pneumoniae pneumonia can be as high as 60%.
Now it's this new type of Legionella... which also explains why patients survive so shortly.
Their medical department had made this judgment before, but they didn't have time to do a clear examination and autopsy.
Now it is basically confirmed that the late sign of this Legionnaires' disease is bacteremia, which leads to symptoms of purulent infection throughout the body. It's just that before this symptom appeared, the patient had already passed away due to acute failure of multiple organs, and the symptom became a corpse phenomenon.
Not only Wang Guoxin's corpse, but also the corpses of other patients in the Jiangxing Town Hospital, and other corpses in other places.
They have that Legionella bacteria that reproduces very fast all over their bodies! Otherwise they wouldn't be rotting so fast, they're turning into a pile of pus.
And after the patient died, the reproduction speed of the Legionella seems to have become faster...
"I bet you, there must be a spell in it." Master Tong said in a muffled voice, "The vitality of this bacterium is too shameful."
"There should be magic..." Dr. Jiang also thought, "or it may be a science that we don't understand yet."
Generally, the individual diameter of Legionella is 0.6-1.2 microns, and sometimes it can grow to more than 50 microns.
Now researchers have detected from patients' blood sputum samples that some new types of Legionella have grown to more than 100 microns, and they can be particularly large.
But how small this Legionella was at its smallest, researchers are not yet sure.
However, it must be smaller than 0.3 microns, because the n95 medical masks with a filtration rate of more than 95% of 0.3 microns are completely ineffective, and the filtering respirators usually used in level 3 protective clothing that can filter 0.07 microns are also useless.
Bacteria can be very small. The smallest known bacteria "nanobacteria" have a diameter of only 50 nanometers, which is 0.005 microns.
Therefore, when this Legionella spreads, it is entirely possible that it is smaller than 0.01 microns, so that only air-tight protective clothing is still effective, but it cannot support such a large demand, especially the demand of ordinary people.
However, so far, researchers have not found such small Legionella in blood sputum samples and air samples, and the smallest is 0.1 microns.
Can they shrink and deform
In some previous scientific research experiments on bacterial cultivation on space stations, bacteria did know how to transform to resist drugs, but they did not deform at any time...
It might just be a good thing, though. Everyone heard Gu Jun describe a foreign plague "hemoptysis" that can be transmitted without relying on bacteria, viruses, or parasites. The specific mechanism is unknown, and it seems that it can be transmitted by a single thought like a nightmare disease.
If this new type of Legionella is targeting "hemoptysis", it is undoubtedly very close...
The country has launched the "Tinder Project", and some big and important figures are evacuating to secret bases.
At this time, regardless of Master Tong, Dr. Shen, or Yao Shinian, everyone was silently thinking, Ah Jun, Ah Jun, what's going on with you, hurry up if you can.
At this time, the alarm suddenly sounded in the command center, and the personnel exclaimed in a low voice, "There is a fleet! There is a fleet!"
The real-time video from the scientific research fleet showed a ghostly fleet sailing in the dark on the sea outside the fleet.
