Douluo See You For a Long Time

Chapter 369 Metal Virus

As for the construction in full swing on the moon, that's another story. The time goes back to the moment after the female worm was captured. Tang Chen and their adventures have just begun. The female worm was forced to stop by them and thrown into the storage soul guide. .

Everyone boarded the off-road vehicle and set off again. There are all kinds of strange creatures in the metal ecosystem, and the metal zerg is just one of them. There are also four-legged metal creatures.

But these creatures are generally not strong, and their use value is not as good as metal plants that can enrich metal elements in the soil. Everyone just drove or killed them, and did not plan to capture them.

"Have you noticed? There are more and more metal creatures here!" Bo Saixi stopped the car, looked at the increasingly black earth, and took out the satellite map.

In the map, the closer the area is to the core, the darker the color. It is obvious that they are close to the core of the area.

"Ha Qiu! I don't feel right." Meng Shu sniffed, took out two pieces of toilet paper and blew his nose hard: "I always feel like there is something in the air!"

Chao Tianxiang frowned: "You just had a runny nose. With our immunity, you shouldn't have caught a cold." He pressed his forehead against the top of Meng Shu's head.

"It's so hot! You..."

Meng Shu's forehead was terribly hot, definitely not the body temperature that a normal person should have.

"Stay away from me." Meng Shu also realized that he was not in the right condition, and signaled everyone not to approach him, lest there be any infectious diseases.

"Reach out, I'll take some samples for testing." Jian Hongchen controlled the metal, turned it into a blood collection needle, collected a drop of blood from Meng Shu's fingertip, and tested it under the microscope.

"How is it? What is it?" Chao Tianxiang asked.

"It's not a bacteria or a virus. On the surface, there is no big problem with the blood, but the red blood cells have been deactivated to a certain extent. The inactivated red blood cells cannot continue to transport oxygen. It does not seem to be life-threatening at present, but it will take a long time. I'm not sure." Jian Hongchen gave a not-so-good answer.

"Meng Shu has type O blood, and any of you are also type O. Let's draw blood and get ready! If the inactivation of red blood cells cannot be suppressed, then blood transfusion is the only option."

Everyone looked at each other when they heard the words, only Chao Tianxiang raised his hand in the end: "I have type O blood, take mine!"

Fortunately, there is at least one O-type blood in the crowd. With the activity of the soul master's hematopoietic stem cells, timely supplements of nutrition can last for a long time.

"I think the problem may be in the air. You'd better wear a gas mask." Meng Shu sniffled. Although he had a fever, his mobility was not affected much.

"What should we do now? Return immediately?" Chao Tianxiang stretched out her left arm, the blood collection needle was stuck in the vein of her arm, and the dark red blood slowly flowed into the blood bag.

"I have already sent a radio to Eldest Brother. He will come to our location. It is meaningless to return now. Unless we take a tidal fighter and return directly to the Douluo Continent, the medical conditions in other places in the Sun Moon Continent cannot be better than ours now." Even better." Tang Chen distributed gas masks to everyone.

"Then let's go back! With the speed of the Tide Fighter, we will be able to fly back in a short time!" Chao Tianxiang said anxiously.

"Don't worry, the most you can do is test it when you go back, and the teacher is not a god." Meng Shu himself shook his head and said, "It's fine for the Tide Fighter to fly short distances, but it's very likely to be attacked by cloud shepherds when flying long distances, which would be even more dangerous. "

"Since the space station can drop space-based weapons for us, it should also be able to drop emergency supplies. The risk factor is actually not as high as imagined."

"I also prefer to stay here. Generally, detoxification herbs can be found near the poison. Although this is not guaranteed, since the disease is caused by metal life, it should be easier to find a cure here." Bo Saixi The one with the most adventure experience among the crowd, she has already opened her mouth, so it is difficult for Chao Tianxiang to refute anything.

"Don't worry, I've found the reason for the inactivation of red blood cells!" Jian Hongchen pointed his fingers on the glass slide: "It's the iron element in the hemoglobin that was taken away.

Meng Shu's body seems to have an extra tiny thing. They are similar to viruses, but they need iron. Therefore, when his hemoglobin is dismantled, what triggers his immune system's response is probably not the antigen carried by the pathogen itself, but The hemoglobin whose properties were completely changed after dismantling was identified as the invader. "

Jian Hongchen can manipulate metals, so it is more sensitive to iron in red blood cells.

In order to alleviate Meng Shu's dizziness and other conditions, Chao Tianxiang's blood had been injected into his body.

"That is to say, the reason why the pathogens attack my body is caused by the need for iron?" Meng Shu shook his head, the lack of oxygen supply to the brain made him a little dizzy.

"You said, is it possible for the pathogen to obtain enough iron, so that he won't attack me? Logically speaking, there are very few mammals in this area.

From an evolutionary point of view, the pathogens here should not have evolved the ability to parasite specifically target mammals. The environment in the human body is probably extremely harsh for them, and this will destroy hemoglobin.

The purpose of pathogens is to survive. Viruses will parasitize host cells. That is because they need to borrow host cells as factories to replicate themselves. However, the genetic material of human beings is probably different from these suspected silicon-based organisms. I speculate that they may not attack at all. The reason for my cells, as long as I give them enough metal elements, it may even be possible for me and the pathogen to live in peace. "

Meng Shu's meaning of the question produced the common sense of everyone, but silicon-based organisms are no longer something that can be explained by common sense, and Meng Shu's thinking is indeed not a big problem.

Jian Hongchen nodded and said: "My limit is to break metal into nano-sized particles. Stop the blood transfusion first. I will prepare a little physiological saline and mix it with metal powder to form a suspension. I should try it."

"Are you sure?" Jian Hongchen shattered fifty grams of iron into nanoscale. Such a large amount of metal elements is enough to make ordinary people heavy.

"Come on! Even if you fail, it doesn't matter, the worst is to continue the blood transfusion!" Meng Shu stretched out his arm, and the normal saline mixed with metal was injected into his body. The strong physical fitness of the soul master made him immune to metal poisoning to a certain extent.

Jian Hongchen collected Meng Shu's blood samples every five minutes: "It's effective! The amount of hemoglobin has stabilized and even started to rise, but there are extremely fine metal particles in some white blood cells, which are about fifty times the size of mitochondria." One-third, it did not destroy the cell behavior, and even repaired the macrophages that had swallowed the virus!"
