Chapter 352: Mars Virus

What should be done?
Tang Rui gazed at the data on the large screen in front of him, lost in thought.
Master, there is a problem on Mars, Red Lotus suddenly appeared and reported to Tang Rui.
Hmm? What problem? Tang Rui asked, puzzled. There shouldnt have been any issues on Mars.
There was no shortage of resources, equipment, or talent there.
Updted on BX0VEL.cmWhat could possibly go wrong under such circumstances?
Master, five scientists at the Martian Life Science Laboratory have fallen into comas, and the cause has not yet been identified.
Sudden comas?
Yes, master. According to their wristwatch monitors, there were problems with their biological signals, and then they fell into comas.
Biological signals?
Were there issues with their neuronal tissues?
Has the news been locked down on Mars? Tang Rui immediately thought of a concern.
Not yet, they have just fallen into comas. Doctors on Mars are organizing consultations to analyze their condition.
Contact Professor Weisen on Mars.
Professor Weisen was a member of the Life Science Laboratory and a colleague of the comatose scientists.
Tang Rui had previously consulted him regarding some issues with lab mice, so they were relatively familiar.
Okay, master.
Soon.
The signal was connected, and Professor Weisens figure appeared in front of Tang Rui, who was reading a book in an isolation room.
Professor Tang, have you received the news? Professor Weisen asked directly after the video connected.
Yes, what exactly is the situation? Tang Rui inquired.
Its still unclear what caused it, but theres a high probability its related to a virus on Mars.
A virus on Mars? Where did you get that from? Tang Rui was stunned upon hearing this.
We found liquid water three kilometers underground near the base in the mountain range. We extracted the liquid water through drilling and analyzed it in the laboratory. Weve found bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms in the liquid water, but the experiment was not complete before they all fell into comas, Professor Weisen quietly explained the situation.
Liquid water on Mars?
And it contained bacteria and microorganisms?
That was a major discovery.
But right now, those discoveries were not important; the most important thing was the condition of those people.
What measures have you taken so far? Just isolation?
Yes, including the personnel who operated the drilling equipment, everyone weve encountered along the way, and the laboratory staff, have all been isolated. The entire area of the Life Science Laboratory has been closed off, and the air and water circulation systems have also been blocked. So far, no one else has shown such symptoms.
Tang Rui nodded after hearing this, then comforted Professor Weisen before hanging up the video call.
Red Lotus, contact the medical personnel there and directly connect to the conference room.
Okay, master.
Swipe!
The next second, Tang Ruis holographic projection appeared in the conference room.
A group of medical experts discussing and researching the condition all turned their attention to Tang Rui.
Sorry to interrupt, whats the situation now?
Professor Tang, according to the examination results, the reason for their comas is damage to their neurons. Its not just the neural network and nerve cells in their bodies, but also the neuronal tissues in their brains that are atrophying.
Can it be treated? Tang Rui asked.
Its difficult. The problem with the neurons is entirely caused by a virus. This virus spreads through the bloodstream to the entire body, destroying all neuronal tissues, and the immune system is unable to eliminate it. The most critical issue is that we dont have time. Based on the current situation, they can only hold on for two more days before they die.
Two days? Thats enough. Ill send something over to eliminate the virus in their bodies first.
Tang Rui had Red Lotus arrange for a nuclear-powered rocket carrying nanomachines to be launched directly to Mars.
It wouldnt need two days, just a few hours would suffice.
Dealing with a virus was not simple.
The most crucial thing was to control the situation.
Preventing the virus from spreading, especially avoiding mutation and iteration, would prove to be the most troublesome.
There was a virus on Mars.
Unbelievable.
For the next half day, Tang Rui arranged for Red Lotus to collaborate with them in researching the virus.
Understanding the viruss transmission route and genetic sequence was definitely necessary, and if possible, they wanted to treat the affected individuals.
But in the current situation, there really wasnt a specific treatment method; at most, they could try to sustain their lives.
As for using other medications as substitutes, that wouldnt be effective.
Fortunately, the Mars base lacked nothing.
Especially not scientists and researchers.
To treat five people and research the virus, more than thirty top experts in the medical team were mobilized. If it were on Earth, even national leaders couldnt summon these people for treatment.
As for the scientists researching the virus, they were top talents in the field of life sciences on Earth.
A group of experts working together.
With Red Lotuss computing power and Marss top research equipment, the situation with the virus was thoroughly resolved in less than ten hours.
Even the genetic sequence of the virus was being deconstructed and analyzed segment by segment by these experts.
Although there was still no specific medication for the virus, the experts had already started researching reverse transcriptase RNA.
There was no cure yet, but a vaccine was on the horizon.
A few hours later, the nuclear-powered rocket arrived at Mars, and the nanomachines it carried were deployed outside the base.
Professor Tang, whats the password for this box?
321123, Tang Rui blurted out a password.
Click!
The box opened, releasing a puff of white smoke.
It wasnt cold air, but dry ice.
Professor Tang, do we just inject this directly? asked a top surgeon from the Mayo Clinic, holding a syringe from the box.
Yes, inject it anywhere in the body, it will work as long as its injected.
Okay, I understand.
The surgeon found a vein and injected 50 million units of nanomachines into the patients body.
At that moment, something eerie happened.
The scientist who was injected with the nanomachines began to convulse spasmodically.
If it had only been him, that would have been one thing.
But the other four, who had not been injected with nanomachines, also began convulsing at the same time.
All five people convulsed like they were having epileptic seizures on their beds.
This sudden change startled everyone.
Control them, prepare sedatives, the surgeon immediately ordered upon seeing this.
At this moment, the nearby equipment began to sound alarms.
Beep beep beep
The heart rate soared to 136 beats per minute and was still rising.
The blood pressure rose to 239 and continued to climb..
