I don’t need to say what kind of conventional ultraviolet disinfection, ozone disinfection, etc., there are various drug disinfection programs in the laboratory's virus control system.
The most extreme measure is to directly initiate the laboratory’s self-destruction program. If this program is triggered, the entire laboratory’s internal self-destruction system will directly use a high temperature of over 1500 degrees Celsius for up to 10 years after all researchers have evacuated. Minutes of burning without dead ends!
There is no virus or microorganism that can withstand the burning for such a long time at this high temperature. At present, the highest record of bacteria that can withstand high temperatures in humans is 200 degrees Celsius, and even the most vigorous water bear can only be able to Survive for 2 minutes at 151 degrees Celsius!
As for why Origin didn’t start such a program while the researchers were still there, just like the Red Queen in "Resident Evil", in order to ensure that the virus does not leak to the outside world, the entire laboratory was directly blocked, even the researchers. They are all eliminated, and the main design is to avoid such a situation.
Because the BSL-5 laboratory designed by the company is more advanced and safer than the BSL-4 laboratory, the core is different. The entire laboratory is divided into two separate areas, a high-risk area and a low-risk area.
All those working in high-risk areas are second-generation intelligent robots specially customized by the robotics laboratory. Researchers use these robots to conduct high-risk experiments. Of course, the risks of such experiments are minimized.
So even if there is a leak of mutant viruses and mutant microorganisms, researchers in low-risk areas will have enough time to evacuate after going through strict sterilization procedures.
After they leave, Origin will completely close the entire laboratory and activate the self-destruct system to ensure that no viruses will leak out, because the entire BSL-5 laboratory is the same as the ecosphere laboratory submitted by Liu Helong. It adopts a double-layer fully enclosed design.
Even if a virus leak is discovered in the early stage, within a certain time frame, they will never be able to break through such a defense layer.
The reason why we know the dangers of these studies is still necessary for the future of mankind. For mankind to truly enter the era of interstellar migration, these studies must be done!
Because human life is too fragile, even Lei Tiantang’s current physical fitness research is 10 times stronger than that of ordinary humans. In Kuafu’s simulation calculations, there are many kinds of viruses and microorganisms that have mutated in the laboratory. Such physical fitness can't be resisted, let alone ordinary people.
In the company's future space program, short-term missions include landing missions to the moon, Mars, and asteroids. In these missions, astronauts must take a spacecraft to fly in space for a long time.
In order to make these huge space projects to be carried out safely, the company's scientists began to think in a microscopic direction. They focused on small bacteria and microorganisms.
Because according to their previous experiments in the laboratory and related experimental studies conducted in the space station experimental cabin, it is shown that the various strong radiation effects in the universe are enough to cause abnormal mutations in certain bacteria and microbe genes and express stronger toxicity!
These mutated bacteria and microorganisms will be very lethal to astronauts flying in space for a long time in the future. Until now, even many viruses and microorganisms that have not mutated can not be treated and protected, let alone these deadly. The taller guy!
Flying in space for a long time requires not only a series of life-support equipment for humans, but more importantly, the ability to keep the body healthy. For example, if you fly to Mars according to the previous spacecraft technology, the year-long Flying to Mars is a huge challenge, and various unknown situations can happen.
What to do if an astronaut gets sick in space. For example, microorganisms such as Salmonella may become more deadly in a microgravity environment, and the microgravity environment can change the behavior of microorganisms, which may make the treatment methods on Earth effective, so these They are all major unknown factors facing human space flight in the future.
Moreover, if a mutated infectious disease problem occurs during a long space flight, it will be a very terrible thing for the astronauts in the entire spacecraft!
There is also the impact of microbes on aerospace activities. When a spacecraft is flying in space and in the future colony forward base, we are like a sealed can, a completely closed system.
In such an environment, we must have a very detailed understanding of these bacterial groups that may have an impact on our human survival, and conduct a comprehensive space study, whether it is beneficial or harmful to the human body, it is very important.
In the past ten years, studies on microbes in space have shown that microbes often exhibit bizarre behaviors in space. Some microbial communities can grow very large, some grow slowly, and some microbes change in shape or appear strong. Resistance to antibiotics makes antibiotics ineffective.
But researchers are still not sure what kind of bacteria that microgravity environment will cause to evolve extremely strong pathogenic ability, but the possibility of this kind of mutation has been discovered, and this is what the researchers worry about.
Take the case of sending Salmonella from the laboratory to the Nantianmen Space Station for testing~EbookFREE.me~ After experimental observations, Salmonella cultivated in space is more capable of infecting mice than the laboratory on the ground. Medium is three times higher.
This is because space radiation or space environment changes Salmonella genes, and the mutated genes express stronger toxicity. Astronauts are not resistant in a microgravity environment, and the increased toxicity is disturbing.
There is also a published study by a research team that shows that interactions between different pathogens in a space environment can also become more deadly.
For example, a recent study they conducted found that the effect of the space environment on another bacterium (Pseudomonas aeruginosa) has genetic characteristics. This phenomenon has also been found in some Salmonella. The mutant gene can continue to be expressed after reproduction, but the study The personnel have not yet confirmed that Pseudomonas aeruginosa will become lethal in the space environment.
Of course, researchers have also discovered that microorganisms in space also contribute to the development of human beings. They can help develop better vaccines. Experts in the laboratory cultivate microorganisms brought back from space in the laboratory and develop A new vaccine and improve the effect of vaccines.
