My Cell Game

Outside the dormitory are researchers coming and going. Everyone wears clean and tidy white clothes. They walk in a hurry when they walk. When they see colleagues they know, they just nod slightly and do not slow down their pace at all.

"Boom boom boom!"

An urgent knock on the door sounded outside the dormitory, "Dong Yan, Dr. Yang asked you to go to conference room 1809 for a meeting, and you will be there in ten minutes."

The people outside yelled and left in a hurry, as if they had something urgent to do, so there was no need to delay.

"Oh, I got it." Dong Yan in the dormitory quit her [Doctor] ID, jumped out of the game room, and walked out of the dormitory.

1809 meeting room.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very busy. The researchers who were waiting for the meeting were all nervously lowering their heads and busying themselves. They didn't even miss the gap before the meeting, nervously processing official documents.

Just three days ago, the rover station received an order from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to speed up the research and development of serum. Since then, the rover station has been working in two shifts all night long.

Dong Yan is good at the purification and evolution of serum in the late stage. She can't get involved in the early work, so she is naturally more leisurely than others. She bought a game warehouse and played games in the dormitory.

As far as Dong Yan knew, the research on blood serum was not without progress, or at all.

From the research topic a month ago to the present, I am still stuck in the first step-finding antibodies.

Serum, to put it bluntly, is a special medicine for treating diseases.

If you want to make a serum against the blood death virus, the first step is to find antibodies, and find antibodies that can deal with the blood death virus.

But until now, no antibody has been found, as if there is no substance in this world that can kill the blood death virus.

The research direction of the subject has been changed three times. This time, the latest research direction is to research on helium titanium titanium, and try to combine helium titanium titanium with protein to make a targeted drug against blood death virus.

In Dong Yan's view, this research direction is probably going to be stuck. Among other things, the helium bowl and titanium titanium are so expensive that it is not suitable for large-scale production of serum.

Sure enough, the discussion at the meeting was to re-plan the direction, which meant that the results of the previous month had to be overthrown and restarted.

Dong Yan is a native of Nanyang City. She studied at a local university in Nanyang City, passed the postgraduate entrance examination, and entered a local mobile station.

There is no doubt that she is the group of people who want to research the serum the most. No one will be indifferent when seeing the virus spread in their hometown.

However, to study this kind of thing, everyone should perform their own duties, not the more people the better.

There are too many bosses in the research institute. As a graduate student, Dong Yan can only obey the arrangement and wait for the serum to be developed in her own post, and then do purification and other work.

Yesterday, Dong Yan came into contact with the game Cell Online by accident. The moment she came into contact with it, her eyes were firmly attracted.

What attracted her was not the unique game experience, nor the novel plot and graphics. She didn't like playing games, and she couldn't get the coolness of the games at all.

What attracted her to Cell Online was the blood death virus in the game.

After all, she was the first player who noticed and wanted to start researching the virus in the cell online.

Studying viruses in the game is unheard of!

What made her have this absurdly bold idea was the realistic style in Cell Online.

When she first entered the game, she dissected a liver cell.

Dissecting cells in the game does not need to be as complicated as micromanipulation, just tear it with a weapon.

Holding the post-dissection screenshot and comparing it with the liver cells under the electron microscope, Dong Yan was taken aback—the two were surprisingly consistent.

After that, she dissected not only the liver cells, but also some red blood cells and white blood cells in the liver. Without exception, these cells that were supposed to be the background of the game actually conformed to biology.

In other words, the biological cells in the game and in reality are surprisingly consistent.

The analogy method is a commonly used method in scientific research. Dong Yan couldn't help thinking, if the structure of the cells is the same, does it mean that the structure of the virus will also be the same?

Although this may be very small, Dong Yan is currently free and has nothing to do. Instead of wasting time doing other things, it is better to try it in the game.

Of course, she hasn't put this funny idea into practice yet, and she hasn't discussed it with others, she just entertains herself. Those who come here to do scientific research don't know much about the blood death virus, let alone the developers who design games.

After the meeting ended, the participants left one after another. Dr. Yang, who was in his sixties standing at the front desk, signaled Dong Yan and the others to stay.

Those who remained were all students of Dr. Yang, and some senior officials of the hospital. Dong Yan was one of the few students of Dr. Yang, who could be regarded as a personal disciple.

"Everyone, the CDC is here to give instructions again." Dr. Yang said in an old and capable voice:

"The instruction this time was issued to the hospital. A new round of blood death patient screening will start tomorrow. Like the previous few times, the fire department, police, CDC, gendarmerie, and various departments of the local garrison will cooperate. Hospitals do door-to-door blood tests.

However, this time is a little different. The order of the CDC is to bring all the patients who died of blood to the hospital and gather them together. "

As soon as the voice fell, whispers sounded in the conference room.

"Collected? Why? The higher-ups are going to change the policy?" A hospital executive asked puzzledly: "According to the trend, the number of bleeding patients in Nanyang City has skyrocketed in the past two months. After screening this month, the estimated number There will be hundreds of people, is it possible to vacate a floor for them to live in?"

Dr. Yang didn't answer directly. He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "What the CDC means is that we need to speed up the research and development progress."

Among the people who participated in the meeting, most of them were puzzled when they heard Dr. Yang's words. A small number of people thought about it for a while, and seemed to understand something, and their expressions changed suddenly.

"Dr. Yang, please block it. We are already working two shifts. If you work overtime, the error rate will be much higher when you are fatigued. The loss outweighs the gain." The person who didn't understand said so.

"No, that's not what it means." Dr. Yang knocked on the table, and said in a deep voice after a while: "Speeding up the development speed means that some steps can be omitted. For example, skip the animal experiments and go directly."

Dr. Yang stopped talking, everyone understood at once, and their faces were ugly.

Skipping animal experiments and conducting experiments directly on patients will indeed greatly shorten the development cycle. However, using drugs with unknown effects directly on people

"This is a disregard for human life!" The director of the First Hospital immediately slammed the table, his face flushed, and he stood up with an angry tone.

Dong Yan in the back also had an ugly face.
