There was hardly any hesitation, and Johnson agreed to the proposal for the experiment.

Although the Chinese researcher named Zhao Shuxuan emphasized to him that the relevant clinical trials have only been done twice in the white mice, the direct application to the human body may be accompanied by certain risks. However, for Johnson, this is It is the only way he returns to Earth.

If he can't solve the Martian bacteria on his body, he may have to stay on the Moon Palace for the rest of his life, be isolated from the Earth's ecosystem, or even be abandoned.

This is unacceptable to him who has a family on earth and someone who is waiting for him to go back.

Sitting next to the medical bed, quietly waiting for the preparation of the two researchers in the hospital, the Chinese researcher who brought him here, with three capsules and a small bag The water came over.

"Take it."

Three capsules were taken from Zhao Shuxuan's hand. Johnson didn't hesitate, threw it into his mouth, and then took a sip of the straw in the bagged water and swallowed it with the water.

Sitting on the medical bed and waiting quietly for five minutes, Johnson looked a little restless and looked around, seeing everyone in the lab looking at himself, so he said a word.

"Hey, is this finished?"

“I don’t know,” Zhao Shuxuan shook his head. “The specific one has to wait an hour or two before I know. I suggest you lie down and sleep for a while.”

Johnson: "I can ask, where did the capsules come from? Don't get me wrong, I am just curious..."

Professor Leslie and Professor Zhao Shuxuan looked at each other and looked at his expression a little weird.

"...too much to know, not necessarily a good thing for you."

Johnson guessed: "Is it confidential?"

"That's not it," Professor Lesley shrugged. "Just... there is only one person who has an immune response to the bacteria."

Didn't hear the words in this sentence, Johnson frowned and asked: "So?"

With a light cough, Professor Leslie continued, "The bacteria are mainly hosted in the esophagus, especially in the large intestine..."

Johnson's face changed instantly.

"Shet...it won't be..."

"Yes, it's Shet... or Shet's extract, but I think there should be quite a difference."

Feeling a tumbling in the stomach, and resisting the urge to vomit, Johnson glared at him with a murderous look. He asked hard, "You are sure this thing... can it work?"

"I...not sure," Professor Leslie smiled a little awkwardly. "But some things have to be tried before I know, aren't they?"

Johnson still wants to say something, but at this time, a feeling of drowsiness hit the brain, and could not help but stick out the index finger on the eyebrow.

When he noticed his condition, Professor Leslie and Professor Zhao Shuxuan had a flash of surprise in the eyes of the professor.

With the last remaining consciousness, Johnson faintly heard the voice of the two talking.

"God... our speculation is correct!"

"The antibodies that kill the x-0172 bacteria are in the extract of the No. 3 colonizer metabolite!"

"... report the success of the study."

"..."

......

Almost at the same time as the researcher on the Moon Palace completed the experiment.

Jinling Institute of Advanced Studies on the Earth.

Lu Zhou, who has been paying close attention to the progress of the experiment, immediately came to the x-0172 Bacterial Special Laboratory, which was established shortly before, and asked the person in charge, Professor Liu Zuibing, about the research on the Moon Palace. .

"How is the situation of the two colonists now?"

"Sleeping is very stable. We tried various physical means such as low temperature, overheating, static electricity, etc., and they didn't wake them up." Pushing the glasses, Professor Liu continued, "In general, the experiment is quite successful, and it is verified. Our conjecture. From the sampling of metabolites, traces of spores were observed in the metabolites of both colonists."

Lu Zhou’s spirit was immediately raised and he immediately asked: “That is to say, the body of Tavi does produce antibodies against x-0172 bacteria.”

"Theoretically it should be like this," Professor Liu nodded, but then sighed again. "But the trouble now is that even if we find antibodies, we can remove some of the x-0172 bacteria from the colonizer. However, it is difficult to further kill spores by antibodies."

Spore, also known as endospore, is a bacterial dormant body. It is also known as the most stubborn living organism in the biological world. It has outstanding performance in heat resistance, chemical resistance and radiation resistance.

In the case of Clostridium botulinum, the spores are killed in boiling water for 5 to 9.5 hours. The anti-radiation ability of B. megaterium is 36 times stronger than that of i cells, and even under the direct irradiation of ultraviolet rays and high-energy rays, the original life form can still be maintained for a long time.

Free-formed spores have no obvious metabolic effects and only retain potential germination, so they are also called hidden lives. Once the environmental conditions are right, the spores can germinate into vegetative cells at any time.

To make an inappropriate metaphor, like the instant noodle dehydrated vegetable bag that was thrown into the boiling water.

Therefore, if the spores in the colonizers cannot be completely killed, it will be sooner or later to wait until the situation is good.

The atmosphere in the lab was silent.

Staring at the paper on the computer screen from the Moon Palace, Professor Liu Zuobing fell into meditation.

From the dignity in the eyes of this old professor, Lu Zhou can clearly feel that it is not easy to solve this problem. Even if it integrates the world's top biomedical research and development forces, it is not easy to find a solution.

Lu Zhou: "Is there any good way about spores..."

"If there is, we must have tried it," Professor Liu shook his head. "International experts have already met and discussed it several times. At present, the more reliable idea is probably intermittent sterilization, which constantly activates spores. Killing again. But this involves a more cumbersome problem. We may be able to repeatedly toss several times to reduce the amount of x-0172 bacteria in these colonizers, but it is difficult to remove them. ”

Lu Zhou: "Like a cancer cell that has spread?"

Professor Liu: "Although it is not very appropriate, there is no big problem with this metaphor."

After listening to Professor Liu’s statement, Lu Zhou thought for a while and suddenly asked.

“What about extracts that contain antibodies? Do we have labs?”

Professor Liu pointed to the sealed glass bottle on the table.

"Just here... what happened?"

Lu Zhou: "Can I bring a copy back to research?"

Professor Liu Zuobing looked at Lu Zhou strangely. "It can be... but I think it may not make sense."

He does not believe in the strength of Lu Zhou, but does not think that it makes sense to do so.

This is just a metabolic extract, and there is no x-0172 bacteria in it.

Even if you really want to study, shouldn't you take this thing to study?

Lu Zhou smiled and said.

"There is no point, only know it when you try it."
