Chapter 604： treatment solutions

Valentin used various instruments in the laboratory to conduct a complete examination of Zhou Ai's body, and agreed with Tang Fang's speculation that Zhou Ai's vest Cailin was fighting fiercely with the phagosome.

He retrieved the dna model diagram of the color scale sample collected during the last inspection for Zhou Ai from the computer, and said, "Remember this dna model diagram?"

Tang Fang nodded as he looked at the polyhedral DNA strand composed of the Epsilon gene fragment and the phagosome gene fragment.

Valentin said: "I remember telling you that Epsilon genes can inhibit the activity of phagosome genes and put them in a state of'hibernation'."

Tang Fang nodded, indicating that he remembered.

"I also told you that Zhou Ai's human genes have undergone subtle changes during the last'molting'. Some genetic material was replaced by Ipsilon genetic material, which gave her body a new life."

Tang Fang nodded again.

Valentin continued to explain: "According to your statement, Zhou Aishang enters a certain number of phagosomes in the body under the long tongue deformity. If it is an ordinary person, the phagosome will change the genetic structure to hijack human genes and cause a big The phenomenon of assimilation in a range completely occupies the human body and becomes a phagosome polymer.

"But Zhou Ai's situation is different from ordinary people. It has the genetic material of the Ipsyron in its body, and the colorful scales contain rich Ipsyron's gene fragments. This pair of phagosomes assimilate her somatic cells. This brought great difficulty. The body produced a strong rejection reaction to the foreign body, and thus launched a fierce struggle. The phagosome gene and the Epsilon gene began to see each other with her body as the battlefield, which caused Zhou Ai's body to appear sick. ."

Tang Fang said, "So, her current situation is somewhat similar to Roy's situation at the beginning? Can we use'feeding fluid' to support human cells. Let them drive phagosomes out?"

Valentin smiled bitterly: "You have also seen Roy's situation. The phagosome is an extremely tenacious creature. It is not easy to push them out of the body... Moreover, this time the phagosome is the same as the one in Roy's body at the time. The body is a bit different, and it is very aggressive. The human body’s rejection reaction is completely useless in front of it. If it weren’t for the suppression of the Epsilon's gene fragments, she would have swallowed her body."

"This is also a place that bothers me. The genetic composition of the phagosome in Zhou Ai's body is somewhat different from the phagosome gene obtained by Faraday. Its genetic code has been changed, in addition to the original phagosome gene chain. There is another deadly virus gene that can infect the human body."

"You should be talking about it." Tang Fang summoned the nurse mm, put the blood-colored parasite sample from "Aitiya" Kandal Island into the sealed biological sample box, and said: "This is Kang Kang Duke Reeve’s body turned into a parasite of a corpse beast."

Next, he briefly described the origin of the parasite and the experience of going to "Ruerzan".

Valentin showed a thoughtful expression after listening to it, and did not expect that a seemingly simple rescue operation would involve so many things. Even the "Brotherhood" and the "Supreme Council" joined in.

The elderly biology professor walked back and forth many times in front of the hospital bed, looking at Zhou Ai, who was still frowning in his sleep, showing painful expression, and said: "For the above reasons, I do not agree to use'feeding'."

"First, no one can guarantee that what happened to Roy will happen again. The chance of phagosome fusion and symbiosis with human tissues is very low. This is a risky behavior. Unless, like Roy before, if you If you don’t let go, he will die in a very short time. However, Zhou Ai’s situation is different. According to the current situation, the genetic material of the Epsilon and the genetic material of the phagosome are in a delicate balance, which will not be endangered in a short time. Her life."

"Of course, the confrontation between the two will cause a heavy burden on her body, causing damage and pain, but as long as medical resources are sufficient, it can last a long time."

"Second, if you use feeding fluids. I don't know what will happen next, but from the existing data analysis. It is certain that the genetic components of the scarlet parasite will be activated and Zhou Ai will follow in the footsteps of Congreve. After all, the phagosome It is a special organism. Although it has a strong phagocytic ability, the human body will produce rejection reactions more or less. Once supported by the feeding fluid, it is very likely that there will be a large number of normal human cells that occurred in Roy's body and a small number of phagocytic cells. Case."

"But the scarlet parasite carries different viral genes. Its predecessor was the'fraternity' primitive parasite, which existed entirely for the operation of human genes. The scarlet parasite inherited this ability, making it extremely infectious. You also know that the phagosome is a creature with limited thinking. It is very likely to release the scarlet parasite gene in the gene chain when it feels that the general situation is over, and destroy Zhou Ai's body like detonating a'nuclear bomb'."

"Combining the above two points, the use of'feeding fluid' to catalyze human cells to drive out phagosomes is likely to backfire and miss Zhou Ai's life."

After listening to Valentin’s long talk, Tang Fang was very fortunate that he hadn’t made any claims about using “feeding” to treat Zhou Ai.

"If you can't use'feeding' therapy, what should you do?"

It was the second time that Zhou Ai was injured under the polymer of the phagosome. The first time he fought the "Tai Sui". At that time, the phagosome was sealed in the center of the color scale gene because the Epsilon gene was dominant. Injured by the phagosome polymer, the Epsilon's genetic advantage is no longer there, and it turns into a tug of war, leaving her tortured.

He was heartbroken for Zhou Ai's willingness to be wronged and sad rather than seeing Claire hurt. Although she always looked like a female man, he especially cherished her. Now the emotional suffering has not disappeared, and he has undergone physical torture.

He sat down next to the edge of the bed, squeezed her hand firmly, recalling those past experiences.

She didn't have Claire's poor life experience, nor Kyrenia's sad past, nor was she a dead person like Freya.

She has a noble background, a very good person, beautiful, kind, independent and strong, and she is a heroine who can be alone. But a girl who is so strong has experienced so many setbacks, as if the goddess of fate deliberately teased her.

Obviously she is a heroine. But he was forced to marry a **** who was ignorant and unskilled, spending all his time, and even sharing his new wife with his friends.

She killed him, but because of it offended the Empire, she was sentenced to capital punishment.

After breaking away from planet 5. In order to prevent him from being implicated, he cruelly chose to leave, but lost the opportunity to let the two know each other and love each other. When "Megal" meets again, it is nothing but a rift. Kleiya is like a gap. Between them.

Later, he confided in her mind and dreamed of enjoying the blessings of the people, but she disagreed with anything, unreasonably chose to bear it, and would rather cry secretly when she was no one. He didn't want to see Claire sad.

Now, to save the veteran, he has suffered this torture.

Does steel have to be beaten? The flowers that bloom on the plateau must bear the suffering of wind and frost?

This is really unfair.

Her hands were cold, trembling slightly, her hair hanging from her sideburns on her pale cheeks, and her sometimes frowned eyebrows made her look like a little girl having nightmares.

Yes, now she is exactly a lovely little girl, not the self-disciplined and selfless concubine.

This is really distressing.

He suddenly realized that he owed her a lot, even though it had her own reasons. For example, sometimes deliberately avoiding him, deliberately pretending to be confused, enduring sadness and pushing him to Claire.

But it is undeniable. I really don't care about her as much as Clare and Freygo. I always regard her as a person who is able to take care of herself and never cares about her, and ignores her as a girl.

He would be upset by Freya's temperament, would talk love to Clea, and kiss her on the face. Her lips, but to Zhou Ai...what did he do to express his feelings?

No. Nothing at all!

He is used to getting from Zhou Ai instead of paying.

Claire's dream is to overthrow the tyranny of the Stewart family. The people of Mongolia are in a bright blue sky.

Freya simply wanted to be with him and never parted. All those who dared to prevent her from being with herself were enemies.

Only Zhou Ai, never wanted to get anything from him, just kept giving and giving again.

He was very guilty and distressed. If possible, he really hopes that the person who is lying on the hospital bed is suffering from the pain, not her.

Valentin looked at his somewhat lonely back against the white sheets, and said: "We know too little about the'phagosome'. The phagosome samples we obtained in the past were all artificially modulated products. If the original samples can be obtained, Or the scientific research data of the Supreme Council may find a way to restrain the phagosome."

"Unfortunately it is difficult... no one knows where they are currently."

Since the supreme council failed and collapsed at the end of the Blue Revolution, the remnants of the Council have changed from bright to dark, dormant completely, and choose to develop slowly in order to make a comeback. It is difficult to get to the sky to get their trail.

Even national forces like the Yinying Group cannot find their home, let alone "Morning Star Casting."

Tang Fang didn't reply immediately, he suddenly thought of the transportation team that had landed in "Ruerzan" at that time.

Those people came from the landing forces under the Edward Fleet, and the phagosome samples that formed the "Bloodwing Old Demon" were released by the scientific researchers they escorted. Will those researchers be members of the Supreme Council? Even if they are not, how are the phagosome samples obtained? Why would they use phagosomes against the "fraternity" people? Also, did Surbaggio know about this? What role does it play in it?

"If this road fails, we can still target the Brotherhood. Since they have the ability to develop primitive parasites and derivative versions of Scarlet Parasites, there must be a way to prevent them. And I am concerned about the mutation of the right arm of clones. I am more concerned about the situation where the emitted spore mass can suppress the phagosome."

"I remember that when I checked the right arm of the clone that was swallowed by Roy, I once found a fragment of the Epsilon human gene in the DNA chain. This may be the reason why the spore group can suppress the phagosome, and it also indirectly indicates the'fraternity' With tissue samples from the Epsilon, perhaps we can inject more Epsilon genes into Ai Zhou to suppress the phagosome."

"Since the people of the'Brotherhood' can combine Epsilon genes with human genes, so that clones have far more combat power than ordinary humans, we can naturally do the same, but this requires a long period of scientific research. Advanced laboratory equipment, database, biological samples, and more manpower, which we do not have."

"There is a way to do this quickly-rob the'Brotherhood'! They are not good people anyway."

Valentin walked to him and stood still, his gaze fell on his clasped hands with Zhou Ai, and said: "So. I suggest that you either set your target on the'Supreme Council' or the'Brotherhood.' ', it's about Zhou Ai's life, don't be arrogant."

Tang Fang took a deep breath, looked up at him and said, "Thank you, Elder Val."

Valentin shook his head. Looking at Zhou Ai on the hospital bed: "She is like a student of mine, so stubborn, so strong..."

Tang Fang knew who he was talking about. The girl was the youngest among Valentine's students, but it was a pity that she had turned into a ghost under the beam of an "archangel".

"A few days when I am away, please ask Mr. Wa to take good care of her."

Valentine said: "Don't worry. Even if you don't say it, I will do it."

He didn't say anything more, released the hand that held Zhou Ai's five fingers, and straightened out the scattered hair on her sideburns, kissed her lightly on her forehead, and said, "Wait for me to come back." He got up and walked outside. .

Zhou Ai's frowning eyebrows stretched out gently. I don't know if it was because I felt relieved to hear his voice, or because the pain in his back temporarily subsided.

…………

Leaving the science laboratory. Claire, Linglong and others gathered around and asked about Zhou Ai's situation.

So I briefly recounted what Valentin had said.

Several people felt relieved that Zhou Ai was not in danger for the time being.

Just then. When Byron, Bai Hao, Howson and others heard the news, they rushed over to visit the girl's injuries.

Originally, according to Tang’s arrangement, Byron should stay with the “Angel of Power” to stay at “Dillard”, but for some reason, I heard that this operation was to save people at “Aitiya”, so he gave Chen Jian the task of staying behind. With Stephen Sue, squeezed into the "Morning Star" shuttle bus. When others asked him why he wanted to follow, he didn't answer. Just cope with it.

He, Howson, Aros, and Zhou Ai are 4 people, plus one Eva who has returned to the Omega space station. It was the few people who finally survived when Planet 5 followed Tang Fang together. The relationship should be closer.

Hearing Zhou Ai was seriously injured, all of them were sweating anxiously.

Even Howson, who is always punished for making mistakes, doesn't have the energy to grit his teeth at Zhou Ai in the past, asking him worriedly what should he do next?

Tang Fang walked back and forth in the rest area for a while, and ordered Claire to tell the crew to leave the asteroid belt and prepare for battle.

Then she asked Yingluo to wake Freya and return to the "Seraph" with him.

…………

From rescuing Philips and Benny to infiltrating the "Luerzan" scientific research institute, and then to the meeting of the "Morning Star", Tang Fang has been 15 hours since the blockade of "Etia" by the Edward Fleet.

The ground forces have been conducting searches, but there has been no substantial progress. Not to mention Tang Fang's whereabouts, even the golden flying vehicles have disappeared one after another, as if they had evaporated in this world out of thin air.

Space-based reconnaissance satellites, early warning drones, ground-based radar stations, air ships... all kinds of reconnaissance units have inspected almost every inch of "Aitiya", and even the seabed has sent anti-high-pressure submarine forces to carry out search tasks, but the results The man was desperate and found no suspicious signs.

Some people think that Captain Tang has left "Aitiya" because someone in Norburg City took pictures of the golden aircraft flying into the sky. Several high-ranking merchants who were close to Philips and old Benny and their families also disappeared together. Edward Fleet In this blockade, it is very likely that the bamboo basket was empty, and the young duke spent a lot of manpower and material resources in vain, and failed to avenge his father.

However, despite the passage of time, the inference that Captain Tang has left "Aitiya" is getting closer to the facts, the Edward fleet that shuttles back and forth in high-altitude orbits, wrapping up the entire planet layer by layer, does not just disperse, nor does it. People laughed at the fact that the Knar family was beaten in the face, and the young duke paid his due price for his stupid self-use.

It's not that they don't want to, but they dare not!

Because there are many people tied to the tall trees on both sides of the highway outside the air freight terminal of Norburg City to Star Harbor... Many dead people, or more accurate heads.

It is hard to imagine that, in such a background of the times, such barbaric behavior will occur in such a civilized society.

But those pale faces, **** knife-edges, and brown blood stains on the muddy ground and the heads that are swaying like a tree by the wind, confirm everything in front of everyone in the past. They all happen in reality, not in illusory dreams, or historical films that have been artistically processed on the screen.

Many women screamed, and many children shuddered. Some vehicles even hit the highway guardrail while driving, causing a car accident.

TV programs and online media have carried out in-depth reports on this, describing the dead as the crime of conspiring with foreign forces to conspiracy to treason, and presenting this scene to the civilians of "Aitiya" without any technical processing for the first time. A real and cruel **** scene. Even if some people screamed and cursed for this, some wept in tears, and some people blocked the media and the government and asked why they did it.

They were expelled, arrested, and beaten, without any decent explanation.

Because this is an order from the government, or rather, an absolute order from the new Duke Surbaggio Knell. (To be continued)
