Qiao Xuejun breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that it was not contagious.
The risk is reduced a little.
An Lao: "Therefore, we can speculate that as long as we find the source of the bacteria, we can control the generation of mutants and even curb the growth of sea monster forces."
Zhao Xian picked up the document and flipped through a few pages, stopping at one: "Do you already have a sterilization plan?"
An Lao: "It's just a preliminary idea, it still needs to be tested."
Huo Antu described the experimental process: "We extract the dormant form of this symbiotic bacteria from the mutant, restore the environment of the source of the bacteria, and stimulate it to regain activity. We then study its characteristics and find a way to sterilize it."
If their plan goes well, they can find the source of the bacteria and sterilize them directly.
Zhao Xian nodded: "What do you need the base to provide?"
"Try to bring back living mutants or sea monsters. And purple flowers, the more the better."
Purple flowers are easy to deal with, as they have a strong reproductive capacity. Plant one and you'll have a large patch in two months. But living mutants and sea monsters are not so easy.
Zhao Xian: "Must be alive?"
Both sea monsters and mutants are very powerful. It is easy to bring them back if they are killed, but the living ones will struggle and are difficult to deal with.
Huo Antu: "It's easier to extract trophic symbiotic bacteria from living ones. If the host dies and no longer breathes, the bacteria will quickly go dormant."
"It's difficult to reactivate dormant bacteria. Therefore, it's best to directly extract highly active bacteria."
Zhao Xian thought for a moment: "Just bring it back without losing its breath, okay?"
Huo Antu: "Yes."
Zhao Xian put down the document: "Okay."

After leaving the lab, Qiao Xuejun asked Zhao Xian, "What are you going to do? Bringing a living person back will be difficult, right?"
She even felt that the sea monsters and mutants had no sense of pain. They ran away very fast after being shot. Unless they were killed, it would be difficult to bring them back.
The battle with sea monsters is a life-and-death struggle. If we are concerned about saving their lives, it will probably increase the casualties of the patrol team.
Zhao Xian: "First, pick on the small sea monsters and destroy their ability to move first. You can try it."
Qiao Xuejun: "Don't force yourself. Safety is the most important thing. If you can't bring a living one, bring a dead one. The research lab said it would just make the extraction process more complicated."
Zhao Xian saw that she was worried, so he held her hand and said, "Don't worry, I care about my own soldiers and won't do anything reckless."
The two chatted as they walked out. When they reached the entrance of the medical department, Qiao Xuejun stopped and said, "I'm going to go find Lao Zheng to find out about the current situation of malnutrition."
There should be no severe cases now.
There are still some cases of moderate malnutrition. We need to continue to provide a stable supply of various vegetables.
As soon as I walked into the medical department and reached the door of Lao Zheng's clinic, I heard Lao Zheng's voice coming from inside: "The blood hCG level is elevated, which can confirm pregnancy. It's in the early stages of pregnancy, around 6 weeks."
Qiao Xuejun stopped.
The voice inside continued, it was the young man, a little nervous: "Thank you, Dr. Zheng, this, this, what should we do next?"
Just as Qiao Xuejun guessed, it was indeed Xiao Zheng's voice.
Old Zheng smiled and said, "You're a first-time father, young man. You should avoid sex during this period. Mom, be careful not to overwork yourself. Let your man help you with anything. You should make sure you get enough folic acid and protein. I can help you get your three meals a day replaced with nutritious meals, with an extra portion of spinach and egg custard. Spinach can also provide folic acid."
Xiao Zheng: "Okay, thank you, Dr. Zheng!"
Even if they worked in the kitchen, they still needed a meal ticket to receive their meals. After all, food is a crucial resource, and working in the kitchen is particularly strict. Dr. Zheng's help in applying for it was a real help.
After asking for a while, he came out.
"Lord, Teacher Qiao." Xiao Zheng came out with his wife and met the two of them, and greeted them hurriedly.
His wife also greeted the two of them. It could be seen that she was happy and expectant, but also a little nervous.
Qiao Xuejun smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Xiao Zheng was very happy: "Thank you, Teacher Qiao!"
Zhao Xian also appeared gentle: "Go back and take good care of your wife. If you need anything, you can contact the logistics coordinator. The base will try its best to consider if it can meet your needs."
Xiao Zheng excitedly said, "Thank you, Lord. I will!"
Xiao Zheng left with his wife, and Qiao Xuejun and Zhao Xian entered the treatment room.
Doctor Zheng saw the two people come in and stood up: "Lord, Teacher Qiao, why are you here? It's so cold..."
He glanced at Qiao Xuejun and asked, "Has the pain in your hand returned?"
Qiao Xuejun: "...No. Didn't the temperature rise at noon today? I came to ask about the current situation of the malnourished people so that I can arrange the next planting plan."
Doctor Zheng nodded and said, "Oh. All the severely malnourished patients have now been discharged! Teacher Qiao, your rutin eggs, sprouts, and spinach have been very helpful. There's been very little worsening. Combined with our medication, the severe cases are getting better very quickly. Mild and moderate cases can basically get better steadily with food alone, but the progress is slower."
He said: "As long as the food supply is stable and we can take in enough nutrients, the situation is currently improving."
"Is the improvement of mild and moderate cases still very slow?" asked Qiao Xuejun.
Doctor Zheng nodded. "It's inevitable. Although there's a steady supply of nutritious food, it's just enough, no excess. Things like rutin eggs aren't something everyone can eat."
"Like the pregnant woman just now, she's also eating regular meals. I was planning to apply for her."
Qiao Xuejun said, "The ice-footed horse is now ready for milking, and it can produce about two liters."
