Yang Qingyan rushed into the laboratory and operated various instruments with full concentration to conduct detailed tests on the collected water samples. After several hours of intense work, an extremely rare and complex toxin component was finally detected in the water.
"Found it!" Yang Qingyan rushed out of the laboratory excitedly and told the results to Mu Nanhe and the people who were anxiously waiting.
However, when the doctors studied the toxin, their faces became extremely solemn. It turned out that the toxin was a mixture of many rare substances, and it was extremely difficult to detoxify. With the current medical conditions and drug reserves of the troops, it was impossible to prepare an effective antidote.
Yang Qingyan was anxious as she watched the soldiers struggling in pain on the hospital beds. She quickly searched her medical knowledge and past medical experience in her mind, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "I remember there is a kind of medicinal herb called 'Lingxi Grass' on the mountain. Although it cannot completely detoxify, it may be able to temporarily relieve the symptoms of the soldiers and buy us more time!"
Hearing this, Mu Nanhe's eyes lit up with hope: "Qingyan, thank you for taking the trip. I'll let Chen Feng go with you and make sure you're safe."
Chen Feng immediately stepped forward and said firmly: "Don't worry, I will definitely protect my sister-in-law!"
Yang Qingyan and Chen Feng quickly prepared their tools and equipment and headed up the mountain without stopping. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk on, but Yang Qingyan, despite being tired, searched carefully in the forest with her familiarity with the environment where medicinal herbs grow.
Finally, in a hidden valley, Yang Qingyan found the "Lingxi Grass". She squatted down excitedly and carefully collected the herbs.
"Chen Feng, we've found it, let's go back quickly!" Yang Qingyan held the collected "Lingxi Grass" tightly in her arms, and hurried back to the troops with Chen Feng.
After returning to the troops, Yang Qingyan personally instructed the doctors to boil the "Lingxi Grass" into a medicinal soup and feed it to the poisoned soldiers. Not long after, the soldiers' vomiting and diarrhea symptoms were significantly alleviated, and their complexions gradually recovered a little color.
"That's great, Qingyan, thank you so much!" Mu Nanhe looked at the soldiers whose condition had been alleviated and excitedly held Yang Qingyan's hand.
After the symptoms were temporarily relieved, Yang Qingyan continued to develop an antidote.
Yang Qingyan stood in front of the laboratory table, her brows furrowed, her eyes moving back and forth between the toxin sample and a pile of ancient books in front of her. Although she could use her supernatural powers to treat directly, there were too many infected warriors, and her supernatural powers could not save them all, so she still needed to find an antidote.
"This toxin is too pungent, conventional methods simply won't work." A doctor said anxiously, his voice full of helplessness and fatigue. They had been in the army for several days without going home, and everyone leaned back in their chairs to take a nap, then woke up and continued working.
Yang Qingyan did not respond, her thoughts drifted back to the difficult years at the end of the year. In that crisis-ridden and resource-scarce world, she had encountered countless strange viruses and toxins, and each time she struggled to survive on the brink of life and death, and therefore accumulated medical experience that others could hardly imagine.
Suddenly, she had an idea and remembered a mutant plant toxin she had encountered in her previous life. At that time, that toxin also put countless survivors in dire straits. Its complex molecular structure and strong drug resistance were somewhat similar to the toxin in front of her.
"Maybe... we can try that method." Yang Qingyan whispered to herself, with a spark of hope gradually igniting in her eyes.
She quickly turned around and searched through the bookshelf filled with information, finally finding a yellowed medical book with densely packed records of various plant properties. She quickly flipped through it and found a description of a plant that could detoxify based on her memory.
According to the book, Yang Qingyan first needed a plant called "thorn flower". This plant was very common in the past, but it was extremely rare at the moment. Fortunately, after an urgent search, the soldiers found a few plants in the remote mountains and forests.
After getting the thorn flower, Yang Qingyan put it into a special distiller and extracted a dark red thick juice by precisely controlling the temperature and time. At the same time, she took out a substance called "Active Enzyme X" from the military district's medical reserve. This enzyme with a strong catalytic effect was also used to solve similar toxin problems in the final film.
Yang Qingyan mixed the thorn flower juice and active enzyme X in a specific ratio, put them into a centrifuge and spun them at high speed to make them fully blended. Then, she dropped the blended liquid into the test tube containing the toxin sample and nervously observed the reaction. The liquid in the test tube began to roll violently, and the originally dark green toxin gradually faded and became clear.
"It works!" Yang Qingyan shouted excitedly.
The other doctors gathered around, their eyes full of surprise and expectation. "Doctor Yang, can this really be an antidote?"
"It still needs further verification." Yang Qingyan said calmly, "but at least we have found the right direction."
Next, Yang Qingyan made a series of optimization adjustments to the drug. She added some special probiotics cultivated from the military laboratory, which can form a protective film in the human intestine to prevent secondary invasion of toxins. At the same time, she also added a nutrient that can promote the recovery of the human immune system to help the poisoned soldiers recover faster.
After many rigorous toxicity tests and animal experiments, Yang Qingyan finally determined the final formula of the antidote. Amid everyone's expectations and tension, the antidote was slowly injected into the bodies of the poisoned warriors.
At first, the ward was so quiet that only the ticking of instruments could be heard. Yang Qingyan and the doctors stood guard at the bedside, not daring to take their eyes off the faces of the soldiers.
Time passed by minute by minute, and suddenly, a seriously ill and unconscious soldier's fingers moved slightly, and then he slowly opened his eyes. "I... I feel a lot." Although his voice was weak, it made the whole ward boil.
"Success! Doctor Yang, we succeeded!" The doctors cheered and hugged each other.
Yang Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, with a relieved smile on her face. You know, they had been in the health center for a full 10 days, and this time they finally successfully detoxified, and then immediately gave a large amount of it to the soldiers, and slowly everyone recovered their energy.
