Chapter 485: Viruses and medical devices

Because the nuclear reactor is used as the power source, the mobile base does not need to stop and refuel like conventional vehicles, and the passenger compartment inside the mobile base ensures that the mobile base can continue to move forward even at night, and the rest of the personnel will not affect the movement. The operation of the base.
　　 Although it was night, Chen Xin still did not rest.
　　 On the one hand, the vibration and noise from the car body made him a little awake, and on the other hand, he was still thinking about Lucia's discovery of the ancient virus.
　　 The existence of ancient viruses is something that scientists have determined long ago.
　　 These ancient viruses, which have been in the dust for tens of thousands of years, are completely different from the various modern viruses that humans face today. The most important point is that the various conventional antibiotics used by humans do not work against ancient viruses.
　　 Perhaps some people think that modern viruses are more powerful than ancient viruses. The viruses that humans are facing now have been baptized with antibiotics and evolved continuously. Modern viruses can't help humans. What can ancient viruses do?
　　Moreover, viruses are adaptable. They have evolved specially according to different host hosts. They are not compatible with humans. How can they infect humans?
　　Worries about ancient viruses are just groundless worries.
　　 But these views are grossly wrong.
　　 Human beings are not afraid of viruses nowadays, because we have built a complete defense system with antibiotics and modern medicine to keep the harm of viruses to humans out of the human body.
　　 In fact, without the protection of the modern medical system and the immune system built up by a large number of antibiotics and vaccines, human beings would be nothing more than a weak and pitiful worm in the face of various viruses in nature.
A new crown epidemic before the disaster has already made mankind’s fragile performance in the fight against the virus to the fullest. Without the protection of the modern medical system, it is difficult for fragile humans to fight the highly lethal and transmissible virus. They can only bet on that. 1 in 1 probability of herd immunity.
　　 However, even with the protection of the modern medical system, it is still very difficult for us to win against unknown viruses.
　　 The war between humans and viruses is nothing more than a constant race against death.
　　 The ability of viruses to mutate is its most powerful weapon. Although modern medical technology is advancing with each passing day and developing rapidly, virus mutation has never stopped.
　　 Humans can develop a vaccine against a certain virus, but there will always be new viruses. In this war between humans and viruses, humans are on the defensive and can only defend passively.
　　 The ancient virus is a new enemy that mankind has never faced.
Fortunately, the extremely cold environment under the apocalypse now limits the spread of the virus. In addition, the long distance between Yan Nation and Lucia physically prevents the virus from entering the Yan Nation. This makes Yan Nation need not worry about ancient viruses for the time being. Yan Guo can have enough time to deal with the problem calmly.
But this is only temporary. The previous meteorite fall caused global fires. The Antarctic and Arctic glaciers, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Siberian Plateau and other places have been affected. The ancient viruses that have been buried under ice and snow and have been frozen for thousands of years have been released. It is only a matter of time before their harm and impact will erupt.
　　 There is no epidemic situation in Yan Country for the time being, but this does not mean peace of mind.
　　 So what Chen Xin thinks now is how to prevent possible epidemics.
It is not difficult to prevent the invasion of viruses. At the beginning of the construction of the various official shelters that have been built, the filtering of harmful substances in the air was taken into consideration. In the absence of accidents, the virus cannot be transmitted through the air to enter the shelter. All.
　　 As for human infection, as long as the health regulations are strictly enforced and strict prevention is achieved, the infection can still be resisted.
　　 But passive defense can't solve the problem. With a shield, there must be an offensive spear!
　　 For this, Chen Xin is not a medical scientist, nor an expert in virus research, but he knows one thing more or less, that is, to fight the virus, the most effective means is a vaccine!
　　Vaccines are autoimmune preparations made of pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria, rickettsiae, viruses, etc.) and their metabolites through artificial attenuation, inactivation, or genetic modification to prevent infectious diseases.
　　Vaccine retains the characteristics of pathogens that stimulate the immune system of animals. When animals come into contact with such innocuous pathogens, the immune system will produce certain protective substances, such as immune hormones, active physiological substances, and special antibodies.
　　 Therefore, when an animal comes into contact with this pathogen again, the animal's immune system will follow its original memory and produce more protective substances to prevent the pathogen from harming.
　　To make a vaccine, the original strain of the virus is indispensable, after which it has to go through multiple processes such as attenuation, filtration, animal experimentation, and human experimentation.
　　Calculated according to the development process of vaccines under normal circumstances, the development of a vaccine usually takes more than three to five years, and a long or even more than ten years of development cycle can be truly put into clinical use.
　　 Therefore, how to quickly and effectively develop a vaccine and shorten the vaccine development cycle is a very important thing in the process of fighting the virus.
　　 If it is normal, even if there is a lot of investment, this is a thing that will not get up quickly, after all, there must be no less than one program.
　　 But for Chen Xin, UU read www. With the backing of the system on uukanshu.com, it is possible to consider manufacturing a device that can quickly manufacture vaccines and achieve rapid mass production.
　　 This is not difficult for Chen Xin to do.
　　 Besides, Chen Xin also turned his attention to medical treatment because of this incident.
　　 Maybe it's time to make some useful medical equipment?
　　 Chen Xin thinks this matter can be put on the agenda.
　　 took out a small notebook that he always carried with him. It was filled with various ideas and plans. Some of the things written on it have been realized, some have changed, and there are also parts that have not yet been realized.
　　 wrote two pieces of medical equipment research and development and the development of vaccine preparation equipment against viruses in the notebook, and Chen Xin also took the opportunity to think about what kind of medical equipment he wanted to manufacture.
　　It is not difficult for Chen Xin to manufacture medical equipment itself. Even a medical cabin that can automatically perform operations and repair human wounds can enter the body to kill cancer cells...
For Chen Xin, these are not things that are difficult to make, but he feels that compared to various medical equipment for treatment, a light and compact testing instrument that can perform rapid and accurate testing is the first thing right now. Something made out.
　　 After all, in many cases, the difficulty is not how to treat, but how to find and diagnose in time.
　　 As for what kind of testing equipment should be manufactured, Chen Xin thinks that the three-recorder commonly used by the old bones in "Star Trek" is a very good choice.
