Otherworld Girl Development Guide

When the situation becomes truly hopeless, the rabbit will have no choice but to make a strategic retreat rather than fight Ebola to the death. Instead, it will send rabbits that are not infected with the Ebola virus to Mingrui Planet and wait for the Ebola virus on Earth to die naturally before returning to fight back... After all, the Ebola virus has a very high mortality rate; it will kill all its hosts. Once there are no hosts, the virus will naturally "starve to death."

The Ebola virus may infect some animals, but the virus is not devastating to all species. What may be fatal to humans may not infect fish at all.

"Exterminate the rats! Since we can't control the rats, let's do our best to reduce their numbers, and show the same spirit we had when we eliminated the four pests!"

Rats are not so easy to deal with. They reproduce too quickly, are extremely elusive, and are very intelligent... The best approach is to reduce their numbers as much as possible. Infected organisms are already the source of the virus, so there is no need to show them any mercy; exterminating them directly is the best solution.

"We live in a scientific age now. Should we ask the Chinese Academy of Sciences/University of Science and Technology of China if there are any efficient and quick ways to get rid of rats?"

Soon, the Chinese Academy of Sciences responded, suggesting the use of infrasound weapons or high-power microwave weapons. Both of these weapons have a certain degree of penetrability and can penetrate walls to directly kill the mice hiding in their nests... Perhaps the mice never dreamed that one day they would die in such a grand manner.

A few days later, the little rabbits suddenly discovered that the neighborhood aunties had started promoting a "rat extermination agreement," distributing sticky rat traps and mousetraps, and offering to exchange rat tails for money, 10 yuan each... no deception.

--------------------------------------

Rabbit's highest-level biological research institute.

A middle-aged man in a black suit walked in carrying a small leather suitcase. The director rushed forward and shook the man's hand.

"Comrade, we've been waiting for you!"

Although the director said that, his eyes were fixed on the box in his hand.

Half an hour later, in the highest-level laboratory, researchers wearing sterile white coats carefully removed a laboratory mouse infected with the Ebola virus.

The rat looked to be in very poor condition; its entire body was covered in blisters, and black blood was constantly flowing from the corner of its mouth. It was only one step away from death.

Inside its body, the immune system is locked in a fierce battle with the Ebola virus, with countless cells dying every moment. The body can no longer withstand this burden and is on the verge of collapse...

The researchers carefully opened the black box marked "Project Tianmen," and with a "pop," the airtight mechanism was unlocked, revealing a pool of gray liquid inside.

One milliliter of gray liquid was drawn with a syringe and injected into a white mouse. The mouse was then placed on a wirelessly powered device for observation...

"Will this thing work?" the assistant asked softly.

"Theoretically effective... but we'll have to see how it actually works."

When the gray liquid entered the mice, it spread throughout their bodies. Soon, these nanoscale robots began searching for the Ebola virus inside the mice. Once the Ebola virus was found, the nanorobots would swarm in and use their onboard "blades" to dismember the Ebola virus.

Nanorobots: a new direction for rabbits to combat the Ebola virus.

Rabbits never throw eggs at rocks, and the same applies to scientific research. Since Ebola virus is a very difficult virus to deal with in biology, and with its continuous mutations, vaccines and specific drugs are not necessarily effective, and there is also the problem of drug resistance.

So why not find another better way, a different approach to deal with Ebola, and eliminate the Ebola virus directly from a physical level?

Chapter 30 A New Storm Appears Yet Again

Two hours later, the agonizing experimental data was finally released...

The researchers dissected the dead mice on the experimental table and collected tissue samples for observation.

Under the microscope, countless nanorobots are attacking the Ebola virus, killing off individual Ebola viruses before immediately moving on to the next target. Even after the host has died, the nanorobots continue to faithfully carry out their mission.

The human immune system is powerful, but also fragile... Once a virus enters the human body, it's like starting a "Star Wars" battle with the human immune system!

When a virus enters the human body, if the human immune system does not have a "record" of the virus, it will not immediately activate to attack the virus. The human immune system will only attack bacteria and viruses that it can recognize.

After bypassing the human immune system, the virus disguises itself and enters human cells, or in other words, it "gets a key"—the virus's key unlocks the cell's lock, allowing it to successfully enter the cell.

Subsequently, the virus entered a paradise where it could successfully replicate itself.

The virus releases its internal RNA virus at the moment it is broken down, instead of entering the cell nucleus like a DNA virus.

Viruses utilize the cellular energy, proteins, and water provided by mitochondria to replicate themselves rapidly. They then combine with proteins, creating new viruses that subsequently enter other cells and repeat the process...

Soon, the body's immune system detects the abnormality and triggers an immune response. The immune system begins to attack the virus that has entered the body. Once macrophages are unable to solve the problem, they will call on white blood cells to come to the rescue. A major battle begins, and the consequence is that the body temperature rises.

Viruses do not like high temperatures, as high temperatures reduce their ability to move. In order to limit viral replication, white blood cells begin to attack surrounding cells indiscriminately!

Killing a thousand enemies while losing eight hundred of your own—this is the damage the human immune system inflicts on itself. In this war of attrition, humanity becomes weakened...

In this protracted battle, BT cells in the immune system enter the battlefield, begin to clean up the debris, find fragments carrying viral information, and carry these fragments to the lymphatic system, activating the most powerful immune system in humans: T cells!

T cells are like commanders in the immune system. Once these killer T cells enter the battlefield, their first task is to kill all infected cells, break the cell membrane, and release the virus that has not yet fully replicated inside. This is like cutting off the source of the problem, but it also causes great damage to the body.

At the same time, helper T cells also carry the virus's information into the depths of the lymph to find B cells, specifically B cells that match the virus's information. The B cells then begin to replicate themselves continuously, releasing countless "Dongfeng Express" (a type of anti-virus weapon) for targeted attacks.

These Dongfeng Express vehicles will accurately locate the viruses that have invaded the body and launch a relentless targeted attack, eliminating the viruses in various ways.

Soon, the virus is completely eliminated by the body's various attacks. At the same time, B cells archive the virus's information, allowing the human immune system to accurately identify the virus. When the virus re-enters the body in a short period of time, the immune system will be activated to attack it.

However, this kind of war is not without its costs. Before the human immune system can withstand this war, it will consume a lot of nutrients, which will put a great burden on the body. Once it can't withstand this consumption, before it can produce antibodies, the body will collapse and both sides will perish.

Humans are infected with some highly lethal viruses, and most of the time they die because their immune system perishes along with the virus, leading to organ failure. Since this is the case, we should try our best to avoid this situation. For example, we can involve third-party forces to eliminate the invading virus before it becomes irreversible, or assist the human immune system to reduce the body's consumption.

Medical nanorobots are a crucial component of the Rabbit Tianmen Project.

When humans explore outer space, they not only encounter extraterrestrial civilizations, but also come into contact with extraterrestrial viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Faced with these microscopic threats from extraterrestrials, the human immune system has no ability to resist them, and before the immune system can even be activated, humans are killed by the viruses.

In such cases, external forces are needed, such as using nanorobots to construct an artificial defense line within the body.

Medical nanorobots were developed with this in mind; it's not just about force, but about preventing problems in every aspect.

However, the real battle that nanobots have to fight is not just against alien viruses, but also against the "ghost" hidden in the human brain, the prion virus!

Prions, also known as prions, protein infection factors, virulence, or infectious proteins, are a class of hydrophobic proteins that can infect animals and are non-immunogenic within host cells.

Strictly speaking, it is not a virus, but a type of infectious agent that does not contain nucleic acids and is composed only of proteins.

These prions are like the Sword of Damocles, hanging over humanity's head, ready to erupt at any moment. The greatest threat prions pose to humans is that they can cause degenerative diseases of the central nervous system in humans and livestock, ultimately leading to death!

Prions are very mysterious; even humans don't know how they come about or how they replicate themselves, because they are proteins!

Because prions are not viruses, they are extremely difficult to deal with. In the end, the rabbits could only turn their attention to nanobots, codenamed "Gray Wind".

Once injected into the human body, the gray wind will target specific viruses or cells according to a pre-programmed sequence, making it precise and efficient. Theoretically, it is a kind of "programmable nanomaterial." However, compared to nanomaterials, it needs to enter the human body, so the requirements are higher and it must be safer.

As the host organism dies, the activity of the Ebola virus decreases continuously, but the nanobots do not stop. They will continue to attack until the Ebola virus is completely eradicated.

"Comrade, I wonder what the production volume of this stuff is?"

The director of the biological research institute looked at the middle-aged man with some anxiety. The pressure on their shoulders was too great. Although the Ebola virus had not yet entered the country, it was only a matter of time. Under globalization, people were constantly moving, and so were rats. Customs and borders could not possibly keep out rats.

"Production..." The middle-aged man in the black suit pondered for a moment, "...It's alright."

Chapter 31 Casualty, Everyone's Casualty (1/15)

"Is the production volume acceptable?"

The director nodded, which could be considered a modest way of putting it. He hadn't expected that the rabbit's scientific research capabilities had become so strong without him even realizing it, to the point that they were already able to mass-produce nanorobots for medical use.

"Oh, by the way... for safety reasons, can nanobots replicate themselves within the human body?"

Nanorobot replication requires materials. Many materials can replicate themselves externally, but how do we limit the materials used for nanorobot replication inside the human body?

If they were to use a patient's body... that would be a horror movie.

"Of course not. Medical-grade nanorobots have all their permissions strictly locked..."

"...they require rigorous identification procedures before launching an attack on a virus..."

Anything that affects the human body requires utmost caution, the transporter of Project Tianmen said earnestly.

"...Ultimately, they are just auxiliary medical tools. The role of the gray wind is to act as a buffer, so that the human immune system is not too overreacting. If necessary, it can even deliver the viral RNA directly to B cells, allowing the body to eliminate the invaders on its own."

As for military nanorobots... to be honest, providing energy for such a large-scale nano-cluster cluster is not a simple matter, and it's unlikely that we'll see the kind of nano-clusters devouring cities like in horror movies anytime soon.

"Yes, we will also speed up our research and strive to work on both fronts to build a barrier that the Ebola virus cannot cross!"

Soon, all the Ebola viruses in the rat's body were destroyed by the gray wind. The RNA of these viruses was torn to pieces and could not replicate itself.

After destroying all the Ebola virus, the gray wind condensed again into a gray liquid that flowed out of the rat's bladder.

"Uh... this cyclical method is very scientific."

There are only two pathways for human metabolism: dust can be excreted from the body through metabolism and can even be recycled.

No bacteria or dirt can contaminate the nanorobot polymer; it is completely recyclable, as long as one overcomes the psychological discomfort.

After all, nanobots are expensive, and it would be too costly to throw them away after a single use.

These gray winds were collected and put back into a special container. The tests on Ebola hosts were successful, and the next step is clinical trials.

On the other side of the ocean, Trump was woken up from his warm bed, and a virus expert stared at him with a grim expression.

"Your Excellency, the spread of the blood plague has exceeded our expectations; confirmed cases have been found in every one of our states..."

"...The beacon of democracy is slowly heading towards the abyss, and we stand at a crossroads in history..."

"...Within a week, our healthcare system will be overwhelmed by the influx of patients, medical staff will be working beyond their capacity, and due to close contact with patients, they will be infected with the Ebola virus. If this vicious cycle continues..."

"...The doomsday of the beacon of the United States is not an exaggeration!"

"Your Majesty, we can no longer hesitate; we need to send the National Guard into the city to maintain order..."

"We need a large amount of supplies to stabilize public sentiment..."

"we need to..."

The US now needs everything except its carrier strike groups.

While the virus expert was speaking, countless wealthy individuals flew to safer areas in their private jets. At the same time, the estates of wealthy people in China were also locked down, prohibiting outsiders from entering their private territories.

Unfortunate individuals infected with the Ebola virus have already been found in the military...

The streets and alleys were littered with garbage. Some homeless people infected with Ebola lay on the ground, their skin covered in blood blisters, black blood pooling beneath them. Gray rats began to enjoy their "Christmas feast"...

Police cars sped through the streets, the officers ignoring the dead and dying homeless people on the roadside; they had to get to the wealthy neighborhoods to maintain order first...

A passing police car startled the rats who were having a meal. The rats scattered and disappeared into the street, leaving only their mangled, bloody corpses behind...

Some people infected with the Ebola virus walked unsteadily down the street, their pale faces and lifeless eyes giving them the illusion of zombies walking...

Everywhere there were signs of decay, rot, and ruin; in just two months, society had lost its order.

"cough cough..."

"cough cough..."

In the streets and alleys, everyone felt the person next to them coughing, and everyone was looking at others warily.

It's alright in wealthy areas, but in some areas with poor security, the situation is very serious.

Da da da!
