Fortunately, we stopped in time and now we know the specific IDs of these 15 million clones, so we can deal with them without anyone noticing.
The clones, who pride themselves on their intelligence and take over, never imagined that their eagerness to be infected with the SW18 virus and their desperate efforts to gain contribution points, just like ordinary genetically modified humans, would actually put them on a blacklist. By the time they finally undergo surgical treatment, they would fall asleep and never wake up again.
Of course, that's a story for another time.
Currently, large-scale research on the SW18 virus is still being carried out vigorously around the world.
The research is progressing rapidly. Although there is no cure yet, some researchers have discovered that the cleansing soap produced by Beautiful Dream Factory can quickly kill the SW18 virus in the air. Skin washed with the soap can form a natural protective barrier for a period of time, preventing the body from being infected by the virus. This can be considered as blocking the spread of the SW18 virus, worth 30 contribution points. This immediately put the person who discovered it in a leading position, and for the time being, he no longer needs to worry about his life being in danger.
Several other methods have emerged since then, all aimed at blocking or hindering the spread of the SW18 virus in the air, but none of them have been as effective as cleaning soap.
This research progress has actually far exceeded Li Lechen's expectations.
If Zhou Mi hadn't accidentally contracted the SW18 virus, the research could have been completed perfectly at this stage. With the vigorous promotion of cleaning soap and everyone taking precautions, the SW18 virus would have naturally disappeared after a period of time, and the death toll would never have been as terrifying as that of the HI25 virus.
But the problem is that Zhou Mi needs treatment.
Therefore, simply blocking it is not enough.
Although Li Lechen didn't know why F001 seemed more proactive than him in finding a treatment, F001's contribution was significant from beginning to end, so Li Lechen insisted on carrying the research through to the end.
They have global resources available two thousand years in the future, though it's almost an apocalypse, but one where technology is far more advanced than it is now. Otherwise, how could a virus that baffles current experts have been solved by future generations discovering cleaning soap in just three days?
While the entire nation was engaged in a vigorous study of the SW18 virus, Lin Heqing was also working himself to the bone in the laboratory.
As the events concerning Li Lechen unfolded before him, and the timeline of events aligned, a bold guess popped into Lin Heqing's mind.
Now, all he needs to do is prove his guess with facts.
It's fair to say that before Li Lechen collapsed three months ago, his life was generally uneventful. If there was any problem, it was that he had suddenly become smarter and more high-profile compared to before. Of course, Lin Heqing couldn't possibly know most of what was happening at school, even using his personal connections, so he focused his attention on the period after Li Lechen fell into a coma.
Three brain CT scans, taken two months, five days, and three days ago, respectively.
The CT scans showed that Li Lechen had an egg-sized lump in his brain two months ago and three days ago. According to the diagnosis from Lingcheng First People's Hospital, the lump was suspected to be a blood clot formed after a traumatic brain injury, and it could shatter or compress important brain nerves at any time.
But the CT scan taken five days ago did not show this blood clot in the brain.
If the CT scans were taken at different hospitals, that would be one thing, but the problem is that the first two scans were both taken at Lingcheng First People's Hospital. In response, Li Lechen's attending physician even concluded that the blood clot in his brain may have dissolved on its own during the drug treatment.
It's not impossible for a blood clot in the brain to dissolve on its own, but what's incredible is that a dissolved clot can reappear without any other influencing factors.
Lin Heqing carefully compared the first and third brain CT scans. The mass in both scans was exactly the same in size, shape, and location. However, the second CT scan, while showing the exact same shape of the brain, did not contain that mass.
A time discrepancy is impossible. The first and second CT scans were taken at Lingcheng First People's Hospital, and the third was just taken at our hospital. Since there was a significant time gap between the first and second scans, a time discrepancy is simply impossible.
What exactly happened?
Lin Heqing is a doctor, and an expert in oncology. He knows very well that a lump the size of an egg, even if it is just a blood clot, cannot disappear in a short time, let alone disappear and reappear.
CT scans are just one of the issues.
There is also the question of whether or not one is infected with the SW18 virus.
This is really not a small problem.
Although Lin Heqing was not present when Li Lechen was initially tested for the SW18 virus, he carefully reviewed the examination process and records.
The entire inspection process was conducted in a standardized manner, and the test data showed that the exhaled air contained the SW18 virus.
This breath test is a relatively convenient method because it only requires a forceful exhale to detect a result. However, there are also more complex testing methods, such as blood tests.
To quickly screen for SW18 virus infection, the breath test is usually the first method used. However, because the breath test is relatively crude, even if the breath test result is negative, blood tests will still be performed on suspected infected individuals.
Therefore, generally speaking, if a breathalyzer test detects a positive result for SW18 virus, then it is definitely a positive result. A negative test does not necessarily rule out the absence of infection, since if the viral load is too low, the breathalyzer test may not detect it.
Lin Heqing has every reason to believe that Li Lechen was infected with the SW18 virus.
However, the results of the two breath tests were completely different.
Fortunately, blood was also collected.
This is standard operating procedure; regardless of the test results, blood samples are collected from the test subjects for further investigation. Currently, neither of these two blood samples has been sent for testing. The first sample didn't need to be tested because even the breathalyzer test was positive. The second sample's test results are still pending.
Lin and Qing couldn't wait for the results from the normal procedure. Because under normal circumstances, test samples without specific instructions wouldn't produce results so quickly. In fact, if the results showed nothing abnormal, they wouldn't even be reported.
Lin Heqing immediately called the director of the blood testing center.
As expected of the vice president, Lin Heqing really knows the hospital's internal operations very well.
Li Lechen's last blood sample was indeed sent to the testing center two days ago, with the label stating "negative for SW18 virus in respiratory test".
Guangyun and the blood testing center of the First People's Hospital receive 300 such blood samples every day.
Three hundred blood samples, and all the test results were negative. What's the point of testing then?
So it was just an operating procedure, a system, a measure to deal with the SW18 virus that could be reported to superiors.
