Chapter 267: Tiny bacteria


Tick, tick.
The clock kept turning. On the big screen of the emergency command center, the countdown for Team B's departure was only 4:00:00, four hours.
The countdown to blow up the tunnel is ten hours remaining.
It has been two hours since Team A's problem squad entered the Dreamland. The physical passageway in Jiangxing Town is still stable, and more personnel are in place to guard it. Teams B and C are also rapidly gathering, and there will be more spellcasters in the team.
All parts of the command center are busy, and various department personnel are doing various coordination and arrangements.
Tongye was talking with Dr. Shen, Dr. Jiang and others. As long as Gu Jun was connected before the departure of Team A, they talked about whether they could send a person into their dreams and follow his Passed by the spirit. Spiritual dreams will not consume that physical channel anymore.
It ’s not clear where Carl Plain and the Worm House are, but Dr. Jiang said that as long as there is a connection, you can theoretically try it.
"Don't let Wu Shiyu's spirit fall into a dream." Gu Jun said solemnly at that time. "She might have bad luck in her dream, and the elder Atal especially told him."
The problem is that Wu Shiyu is the one who has the closest spiritual connection with him, but Gu Jun said that he really wants to take this step, then she looks for Wang Ruoxiang, and she knows how to do it.
During the extraordinary period, there are extraordinary periods of employment principles. Wang Ruoxiang has quietly set off from the isolation base and went to the dream team that is also gathering ...
"Two hours." Dr. Shen was really worried. "I don't know what happened to them."
At the same time, another thing that makes the command center nervous is the "Leihua Tree" tree species, which was given by Atal and must be of great use.
The research fleet has planted the tree species in the greenhouse. Because Gu Jun has repeatedly emphasized that Atal said to be planted naturally, the fleet follows this principle and is cultivated and nursed by a team of botanists. Zhang Jinmin, the head of the fleet, said: "We will never let the organization down."
"Master Tong, the situation of the body is not right."
The number of patients and deaths in the world, the country, and Shanhai City is still increasing. Wang Guoxin's body has been transferred to the scientific research fleet for further research.
At this time, an eight-speed surveillance video was played on the large screen of the command center, and everyone could quickly and clearly see the changes in the kingdom's new body.
The medical staff felt particularly chilly. Xiao Huiwen, who had watched the anatomy of a ghoul, was surprised and whispered: "Too fast, too fast ..."
Wang Guoxin's body has maintained a high temperature of more than 40 degrees, which is still higher than before death. This is not a strange thing, because after death of patients with encephalitis, pneumonia, etc., due to the action of bacteria and viruses, the body's decomposition is enhanced, thermogenesis is increased, and it is normal for the corpse to heat up for a period of time.
But other corpse phenomena are too fast!
Corruption of the corpse usually begins only 24 hours after death, and within 5 hours of Wang Guoxin's death, obvious decay has appeared throughout his body.
The first is the position of the lungs, then the abdomen, which is inflated like a blow, and then pus gushes out of the mouth and nasal cavity, and dense pustules appear on the skin of the whole body. It burst open, splashing out a pool of pus with a smelly smell.
The whole body is rotting like this, and it must be that all the tissues in the body are engulfed and decomposed.
"Bacteremia." Xiao Huiwen made this judgment. "When the patient died, Legionella had entered the blood from the lesion and had bacteremia."
If it is not bacteremia, the bacteria in the lungs will not spread to the whole body.
Bacteremia is when bacteria enter the blood, multiply in human blood, and spread throughout the body with blood flow. Even bacteremia caused by ordinary bacteria can cause extremely serious results, leading to acute failure of multiple organs. The mortality rate of bacteremia caused by S. pneumoniae pneumonia can be as high as 60%.
Now this is a new type of Legionella ... This also explains why patients live so short.
They had this judgment in the medical department before, but they didn't have time to do a clear examination and anatomy.
It is now basically determined that the late sign of this Legionnaires' disease is bacteremia, which causes symptoms of suppurative infection throughout the body. Just before this symptom appeared, the patient died of acute multiple organ failure, and the symptom became a corpse phenomenon.
This is not the only case of Wang Guoxin's body, other patients' bodies in Jiangxing Town Hospital, and other bodies in other places.
They have that kind of legionella that reproduce very fast! Otherwise they will not decay so fast, they are turning into a pile of pus.
And after the patient died, the reproduction rate of that legionella seems to have become faster ...
"I bet you, there must be a curse in it." Tong Ye said in a muffled voice, "The vitality of this bacterium is too ridiculous."
"There should be a spell ..." Dr. Jiang also felt, "Or maybe it's a science we don't yet understand."
Generally, the individual diameter of Legionella is 0.6-1.2 microns, and sometimes it can grow to more than 50 microns.
Now researchers have detected from patients' blood sputum samples that some new Legionella bacteria have grown to more than 100 microns, and they can be particularly large.
But how small this legionella is when it is at its smallest, researchers are not yet sure.
However, it must be smaller than 0.3 microns, because N95 medical masks with a filtration rate of 0.3 micron particles of more than 95% are completely invalid, and the third-level protective clothing is usually useless with the filter type respiratory protective device that can filter 0.07 micron particles. .com ~ Bacteria can be very small. The smallest known "nanobacteria" had a diameter of only 50 nanometers, or 0.005 microns.
Therefore, when this Legionella is spreading, it is entirely possible that it is less than 0.01 microns, so that now only air-tight protective clothing is still useful, but it cannot support such a large demand, especially the needs of ordinary people.
However, so far, researchers have not found such small legionella from blood sputum samples and air samples, and the smallest is 0.1 microns.
Can they shrink and deform?
In some of the previous space station bacterial culture research experiments, bacteria did know how to deform to fight drugs, but they did not deform at any time ...
It may just be a good thing. Everyone heard Gu Jun describe a kind of literary plague "hemoptysis" that can spread without relying on bacteria, viruses, and parasites. The specific mechanism is unknown, and it seems that it can be transmitted by an idea like nightmare disease.
If this new type of Legionella is aimed at "hemoptysis", it is undoubtedly very close ...
The country has already started the "Tinder Program", and some big and important people are evacuating to the secret base.
At this time, no matter Tong Ye, Dr. Shen, or Yao Shinian, everyone is silently thinking, Ajun, Ajun, whatever happens on your side, hurry up as soon as possible.
It was also at this time that a sirens suddenly sounded in the command center, and the personnel whispered in alarm, "There is a fleet! There is a fleet!"
The real-time image from the research fleet was just outside the fleet, and a ghostly fleet came in the night.
