    Because it uses a nuclear reactor as the power source, the mobile base does not need to stop for refueling like conventional vehicles. The crew cabin inside the mobile base ensures that the mobile base can still move forward even at night, and the rest of the personnel will not affect the movement.  base operations.

    But even though it was night, Chen Xin still didn¡¯t rest.

    On the one hand, the vibrations and noises from the car made him unable to sleep. 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 a long time ago.

    These ancient viruses that have been sealed underground for tens of thousands of years are completely different from the various modern viruses that humans face today. The most critical point is that the various conventional antibiotics used by humans do not work on ancient viruses.

    Some people may think that modern viruses are more powerful than ancient viruses. The viruses that humans are facing now are all evolved through the baptism of antibiotics. Modern viruses cannot do anything to humans, so what can ancient viruses do?

    ¡°And the virus is adaptable and has evolved specially according to the host it hosts. It does not match humans. How can it infect humans?

    ¡° Worrying about ancient viruses is nothing more than unfounded worries.

    However, these views are completely wrong.

    Human beings are not afraid of viruses now because we have used antibiotics and modern medicine to build a complete defense system to prevent viruses from harming humans.

    In fact, without the protection of the modern medical system and the immune system established by a large number of antibiotics and vaccines, human beings would be nothing more than weak and pitiful creatures in the face of various viruses in nature.

    A COVID-19 epidemic before the disaster has fully demonstrated the fragility of human beings in fighting viruses. Without the protection of the modern medical system, it is difficult for fragile humans to fight against viruses that are highly lethal and transmissible. They can only gamble on those tens of thousands of people.  One-in-one 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 just a constant race against death.

    The mutation ability of the virus is its most powerful weapon. Although modern medical technology is changing and developing rapidly, virus mutation has never stopped.

    Human beings can develop vaccines against a certain virus, but there will always be new viruses emerging. 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 before.

    Fortunately, the extremely cold environment in the apocalypse has limited the spread of the virus. In addition, the long distance between Yanguo and Lucia has physically blocked the channels through which the virus can enter Yanguo. This means that Yanguo does not have to worry about ancient viruses for the time being.  problem, allowing Yan Guo enough time to deal with it calmly.

    But this is only temporary. The fall of meteorites caused global fires, affecting the Arctic and Antarctic glaciers, the Tibetan Plateau, the Siberian Plateau and other places. Ancient viruses that had been buried deep under the ice and snow for tens of millions of years have been released.  , it is only a matter of time when their harm and influence will explode.

    There is currently no epidemic in Yanguo, but this does not mean that we can sit back and relax.

    So what Chen Xin is thinking about now is how to prevent possible epidemics.

    Preventing the invasion of viruses is not difficult to do. All official shelters currently being built consider filtering harmful substances in the air at the beginning of their construction. Without accidents, viruses cannot enter the shelter through the air.  So.

    As for human infection, as long as health regulations are strictly implemented and strict prevention is implemented, infection can still be resisted.

    But passive defense cannot solve the problem. With a shield, you also need a spear to attack!

    Regarding this, Chen Xin is not a medical scientist, nor is he an expert in studying viruses, but he knows something that the most effective way to fight the virus is the vaccine!

    Vaccines are automatic immune preparations used to prevent infectious diseases made from pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria, rickettsiae, viruses, etc.) and their metabolites, which are artificially attenuated, inactivated, or genetically modified.

    The vaccine retains the characteristic of pathogenic bacteria stimulating the animal's immune system. When the animal is exposed to this harmless pathogen, the immune system will produce certain protective substances, such as immune hormones, active physiological substances, and special antibodies.??etc.

    Therefore, when an animal is exposed to this pathogenic bacteria again, the animal's immune system will follow its original memory and produce more protective substances to prevent the pathogenic bacteria from harming it.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­

    Calculated according to the normal vaccine development process, it usually takes more than three to five years to develop a vaccine, and a long or even more than ten years of research and development cycle before it can be truly put into clinical use.

    Therefore, how to develop a vaccine quickly and effectively and shorten the vaccine development cycle is a very important thing in the process of fighting the virus.

    Under normal circumstances, even if there is a lot of investment, this is something that will not happen quickly. After all, all the necessary procedures are indispensable.

    But for Chen Xin, with the support of the system, he can consider manufacturing a device that can quickly produce vaccines and achieve rapid mass production.

    This is not difficult for Chen Xin to do.

    In addition, Chen Xin also turned his attention to medical treatment because of this incident.

    Maybe it¡¯s time to make some useful medical equipment yourself?

    Chen Xin feels that this matter can be put on the agenda.

    He took out the small notebook he had always carried with him, which was filled with various ideas and plans. Some of the things written in it have been realized, others have changed, and there are also parts that have not yet been realized.

    Having written down the research and development of medical equipment and the development of vaccine preparation equipment for viruses in his notebook, Chen Xin also took advantage of the situation and thought about what kind of medical equipment he wanted to manufacture.

    Manufacturing medical equipment itself is not difficult for Chen Xin, even medical cabins that can automatically perform surgeries and repair human body wounds, and nanorobots that can enter the body to kill cancer cells

    For Chen Xin, these are not difficult to make, but he feels that compared with various medical equipment for treatment, a testing instrument that is lightweight, compact, and can perform rapid and accurate testing is the most important thing at the moment.  Something made.

    After all, many times, the difficulty is not how to treat, but how to detect and diagnose in time.

    As for what kind of detection instrument to make, Chen Xin thinks that the tricorder commonly used by Old Bones in "Star Trek" is a very good choice.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
