Chapter 600 The Virus Is Showing Its Power

Wars of all sizes, suppressing rebellions, interrogations, repairing spacecraft... For the Antech civilization, it seems like a lifetime of work, all piled up in just a few days. This is a huge challenge to the management and organizational capabilities of the entire civilization.

However, on this day, a trivial incident occurred: some ordinary fever individuals appeared in the mantis group.

The number of patients was not large, and the symptoms were not serious. After a simple examination at the hospital, it was found that it was just an ordinary "Algo virus" infection.

"... In the early stages of the virus war, it is necessary to increase the infectiousness and reduce the severity and lethality. In this way, it is much more concealed, and the other party may not be able to discover it in time." In the captain's room of the Future, several biologists were smiling and explaining the newly created biological weapons to Yu Yifeng.

Although interstellar civilization can treat most difficult and complicated diseases, it is difficult to completely prevent people from getting sick.

Take the new human civilization as an example. The medical technology of the new human is already very advanced, but they will still catch a cold when they should. Even if everyone becomes a superhuman, their immunity will be greatly enhanced...

But people not getting sick does not mean that bacteria, viruses and the like do not exist.

Especially viruses, which lurk deep in the human body, are difficult to kill. Many viruses can even be directly combined with the cell structure and become part of the cell. For example, the nucleus, plasmid nucleic acid, etc., hide a large number of viruses.

In this way, even if some chemical agents are used to eliminate the viruses outside the body, many viruses in the human body's own nucleic acid still exist.

"This is true for the new humans, and it is also true for individuals of the Antaik civilization. The cell structures of both sides are different, but there are always similarities. What we imitated and manufactured is their most common Algo virus. Similar to our cold, there are endless variants."

Sitting in the captain's room, pointing out the situation, Yu Yifeng was full of confidence and expectations. A contest between biology has quietly begun.

This war is not smoked, but it is equally thrilling.

"Now we have made a move, it depends on how you respond."

Sure enough, the Antaik civilization has not taken it seriously for the time being.

The current war is so stressful that not only the soldiers, but also the ordinary people are always highly nervous, and their immune function is inevitably reduced. So a small number of individuals getting sick and having a fever is not a big deal...

The medical artificial intelligence of the Antaek civilization simply analyzed the protein shell of the virus and found that it was just an ordinary Algo virus infection, so it put this information in the secondary queue.

And ordinary medical workers have no time to pay attention to this secondary information. There are so many injured people to treat, and the hospital is busy!

The biological protection on the metal planet is quite strict, especially the core residential area, which is almost isolated from the outside world. It was not damaged during the war. Therefore, the Mantis senior management did not think that the attack of the new humans could bring in any biological weapons.

Physical isolation is always the most reassuring.

But soon, things went beyond their imagination...

On the eighth day, the number of people with fever increased from 114 at the beginning to 1,345, a tenfold increase!

Finally someone began to pay attention.

On the ninth day, the number of people with fever rapidly increased to tens of thousands, and increased tenfold again!

At this time, all the senior management of the Antaek civilization became very nervous. Such a fierce growth rate has definitely exceeded the scope of ordinary viruses!

All patients were temporarily isolated, and a team of medical experts was being quickly established. The smell of various disinfectants permeated the entire residential area.

On the tenth day, the number of infected people continued to increase significantly!

In particular, a large number of soldiers in a large flagship were infected and had fever symptoms.

The reason was that after the war, the spacecraft needed to go to the metal planet for maintenance and replenishment of material resources. Perhaps it was infected in this process.

At the same time, the origin of the pathogen was also discovered.

It was an... air circulation system!

I don't know what happened, this air circulation system is full of virus culture fluid. It continuously transports air with pathogens to certain residential areas!

A group of medical experts are frantically cracking this pathogen, and the whole process is not very complicated... Although the Antai civilization has not cracked the essence of genes and has no way to create organisms out of thin air, its research on biology is relatively in-depth, and the results of gene sequencing will soon come out.

They found that it was a vicious virus that had never been seen before, and the protein shell was carefully modified, which was very similar to a natural "Argo" virus. But strangely, the genetic material was very different, and its infectiousness and aggressiveness were also incomparable to the "Argo" virus.

The mantis's own immune system has no resistance to the invasion of this virus...any!

"It is definitely the other party's careful plan!" In a meeting, the top leaders of the mantis roared viciously. There was a hint of panic in this roar.

They began to think of ways to treat this strange disease, although its current symptoms are only fever...

The medical technology of interstellar civilization is not comparable to that of low-level civilizations. Cell regeneration, cell anti-aging, or organ replacement are not difficult.

But there is an organ that cannot be replaced, that is... the brain! Treatment of the nerve center is also very troublesome. For example, the rabies virus and prion virus that humans used to have attacked the nerve center. At that time, there was almost no way to treat it, and the mortality rate was close to 100%.

Although this virus is currently mild, it still targets the brain nerve cells in the mantis.

The L4-level genetic attack technology makes the Antai civilization nervous. This is already another contest that is out of the war level.

Some high-level officials suspect that it was done by lizards, or dead lizard rebels... Otherwise, how could a good air circulation system suddenly have virus culture fluid?

But it doesn’t matter who is in charge. The Antai civilization has always been doing is to catch all the suspected lizards!

Under the guidance of this thinking, a large number of lizard engineers and scientists, including O'Sullivan, the mastermind behind it, were imprisoned and strictly interrogated.

The new humans also temporarily lost contact with the lizards, and didn’t know what the situation was.

However, catching this batch of lizards did not help the whole incident much. The number of people with fever is still increasing rapidly.

On the eleventh day, the number of infected people is still rising sharply, and there are individual cases of coma. This kind of coma makes all mantises nervous.

When life is really threatened, there is no doubt that it will bring uncontrollable panic.

At the command, whether it is soldiers, scientists, or engineers, they all put on power armor, fully armed themselves, isolated from the outside world, and then tested their blood to see if they carry the virus.

The blood test report shows that in just eleven days, 65.6% of the population has contracted this virus!

Including more than half of the senior leaders of the civilization, and almost all the soldiers of a flagship!

"It's over..." This leader said blankly before he fell into a coma.

They defeated the enemy on the front battlefield, but were killed and defeated on another battlefield. All known drugs are ineffective!

On the twelfth day, a large number of people with fever began to fall into a coma... Because of the severe shortage of medical beds, many comatose people can only be frozen.

Specific nano-therapeutic robots are being urgently researched. This type of robot is equivalent to the antibodies secreted by the human immune system and is also a common treatment method for interstellar civilizations.

Nano-robots can forcibly kill viruses through physical means.

But this time, time is not on their side.

Investing a large amount of human resources can indeed speed up the research, but this speed is limited.

One hundred workers can build a building in a year. If the number of workers is increased by 365 times, more than 30,000 workers, can the house be built in a day?

Of course not.

The nanotechnology of the Antech civilization is still not as good as that of the new humans. How can it be so easy to study a special nano-robot that can kill viruses?

Its own volume should be about the same size as the virus, otherwise there is no way to enter the cell to kill viruses. Moreover, this robot needs to have the ability to recognize viruses and the ability to self-degrade, which are the basis of medical nano-robots.

The research time for such medical robots is at least in "years", or even decades! Will the new humans... give them this time?

Then, a death case occurred.

A large number of people fell into coma one after another, including the management, which was in a state of chaos. All the surviving mantises finally panicked...

The huge turmoil came like a raging wave!

There were already sounds of escape within the civilization. They could not defeat these genetic viruses in the short term, and staying here would only lead to their own destruction.

...

But at this moment, the starry sky had lit up, and the new humans' overwhelming offensive came again!
