Otherworld Girl Development Guide

After undergoing a complex disinfection process, Academician Lu put on protective clothing and entered the biological research laboratory.

"teacher."

The researcher who was observing the petri dish nodded to Academician Lu.

"how's it going?"

"The mutated Ebola virus in the petri dish has not yet shown any signs of airborne transmission..."

Academician Lu was taken aback. How could a bloodborne epidemic that cannot be transmitted through the air spread in the United States? It seems that the Safe Injection Center played a significant role in this.

"...But I discovered that fungi and the Ebola virus seem to have formed some kind of strange symbiotic relationship; the Ebola virus attaches to the fungi..."

Ebola virus cannot be transmitted through the air, but fungi can. This strange symbiotic relationship makes one marvel at the wonders of nature.

"How were the test results?"

The existence of red lines can sometimes seem uninteresting to biological experts. However, once the red lines are removed and viruses and fungi are introduced, they act like some kind of biological computer, automatically generating results, which are targeted enzymes.

"The red thread has begun secreting enzymes that target Ebola and fungi. We've tested these on mice, and they form a blocking mechanism, interrupting the self-replication of the Ebola virus and fungi..."

Viruses and fungi have very short lifespans and cannot reproduce on their own, so they die very quickly.

"No side effects have been found yet, and I plan to conduct experiments on monkeys next."

Academician Lu narrowed his eyes. The secret of the red thread was becoming more and more intriguing. It was definitely artificially synthesized!

"How's the other group's research going?"

"It's approved. Medical nanorobots can directly destroy Ebola virus and fungi at the physical level. However, if the virus mutates, new identification agents will be needed..."

Nanorobots are another potential weapon for humanity to combat viruses, fungi, bacteria, or other unknown microorganisms in the future. However, nanorobots carry some risks; if they get out of control in the human body, the consequences could be severe. Therefore, the use of nanorobots is generally conservative.

"Yes, the virus has been spreading on the ground recently. We should take precautions and build a Great Wall inside our bodies."

Chapter 60 Teasing the US is just for fun~

"Are the samples ready?"

"Ready, teacher."

Academician Lu nodded upon hearing this: "Then let's begin."

At Academician Lu's instruction, the petri dish was placed on the experimental platform. Below the platform was a wireless power transmission device, which provides power to the nanorobots as their activities also require sufficient energy.

"Prepare to apply the fluorescent reagent..."

The researchers dripped a fluorescent agent into the container and immediately identified the fungi inside. This fluorescent agent only reacts to fungi.

"Marking complete."

"Introducing nanorobots."

Another drop of gray liquid metal fell into the vessel, and the nanorobots entered the scene.

Subsequently, under electron microscopy, the bacteriophage-like nanomachines launched a frenzied attack on the fungus, using tiny "powered claws" to tear it apart and quickly dismember it, physically eliminating it.

The entire process lasted half an hour, during which all the fungi in the vessel were completely eliminated. Afterward, these nanorobots began to wander around inside the vessel, while the dead fungal corpses were automatically transported out of the body by the body's metabolic functions.

Medical nanorobots have been strictly limited in their ability to self-replicate; otherwise, if they were to self-replicate within a patient's body... that would be a horror story.

After seeing that the fungi had been completely eradicated, Academician Lu pondered for a moment and then said, "Drip in the Ebola virus..."

*Plop...* An Ebola virus was added to the petri dish. Seeing that the nanorobots had no reaction to the Ebola virus, Academician Lu nodded in approval.

It's good that there's no reaction. If there really is a reaction, that would be troublesome. The functions of medical nanorobots don't need to be too amazing. As long as they can be controlled by humans and run according to the programs set by humans, that's enough.

"Add fluorescent agent..."

When the fluorescent reagent that can identify the Ebola virus is dropped into the culture dish, the nanorobots, which were in standby mode, rush towards the Ebola virus like mad dogs, ruthlessly tearing, cutting, and chopping it up.

From a certain perspective, warfare at the micro level is also extremely cruel.

Once all the Ebola virus in the petri dish was eliminated, the nanobots returned to standby mode.

The nanorobots are performing very well; they have already been used in limited human treatments at Da Mao's place with outstanding results!

However, researchers must proceed with extreme caution when it comes to medical nanorobots.

"Teacher, our second-generation nanorobots are much more efficient than the first generation..."

"Yes, but it still can't be left in the human body for a long time." Academician Lu sighed. The second-generation medical nanorobot is still a long way from the kind of medical nanorobot in science fiction movies that can cure all diseases.

The Great Wall within the body is a long and arduous task, but at least one has been built, and soon there will be two, three, and all sorts of things!

"How's the clinical trial going in Group 2?"

"The senior female students are currently observing."

"Hmm..." Academician Lu nodded.

The second group of clinical trials primarily targeted healthcare workers who had contracted fungi or Ebola virus due to accidents.

After all, people are not machines and will always make mistakes, especially frontline medical workers who are in close contact with fungi and the Ebola virus, and can be infected if they are not careful.

In the ward, a middle-aged man in his forties lay pale on the hospital bed, running a high fever as his immune system fought off the fungus.

The IV drip inserted into the vein is injecting a fluorescent agent mixed with saline solution to mark fungi in the body.

"How are you feeling?" the bespectacled female researcher asked softly.

"I feel much better..." the patient said weakly.

The female researcher nodded; it seemed that the second-generation medical nanorobots had already begun to play a role.

"If nothing unexpected happens, you will be fully recovered in three days."

The other person nodded. As a doctor, he knew that nothing in medicine was 100% certain, but at least he wouldn't turn into a mushroom person.

After completing a treatment, the nanorobot is excreted from the body through urine. It is then separated from the urine, disinfected, and used to treat the next patient until its lifespan reaches its predetermined limit.

Three days later, blood sample tests showed that the fungus in the infected person's body had been completely eliminated. However, the nanorobots will remain in the body for another week to ensure that the fungus does not recur.

"Send the second-generation nanorobots over there, and remember to encrypt them!" Academician Lu emphasized the word "encryption."

The assistant nodded. He understood the dangers of medical nanobots. Every medicine has its side effects; at most, it might kill one person. But if the nanobots went out of control, it wouldn't just be one person who died. Not to mention, if the program were modified to target a man's sperm, it would be a disaster, and the entire human race could be wiped out.

Soon, a box of second-generation medical nanorobots was sent to Earth through a portal.

Today's Earth is still the Earth that the US has abandoned. The "Spore People" infected by the fungus have swept across the entire southern part of the US, making the "Unbreakable Alliance" precarious.

Some politicians are already considering using nuclear weapons to purify the Spore people in the country, but this crazy proposal was quickly rejected because it was too insane. If the virus mutated under radiation, it would be an even more troublesome matter.

However, while they lack the courage to launch nuclear missiles, they have a great deal of pretext to make money under the guise of launching nuclear missiles... especially another form of nuclear blackmail.

"My King, are you alright?"

Seeing the King slowly waking up in his hospital bed, his secretary quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.

"I'm still holding on. Tell me, what's the situation now?"

"California...Texas...is independent. The other states have formed alliances of varying sizes. New York has become a haven for mercenaries, renamed the 'City That Never Sleeps,' welcoming all freedom-loving individuals to seek opportunities..."

"...Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson announced that they are researching a second human body..."

The second body, or human prosthesis, is a complete human prosthesis. Fungi and viruses can infect organic bodies, but they are helpless against inorganic bodies. Therefore, as long as the brain is inserted into a mechanical body, all diseases can be avoided, and lifespan can be extended.

However, they do not have "organic crystals" as a material, so the surgery would be very painful.

"The Sporelings have breached our defenses; tens of thousands of them are flooding into the Lighthouse Kingdom every hour..."

"The Lighthouse Spore People, that's how it'll be recorded in history books, right..." Trump seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

"Your Excellency, I have good news. The rabbits (China) plan to provide us with some medical supplies, but we'll need to transport them ourselves..."

Upon hearing this, Trump rolled his eyes. Luck? What luck?

Chapter 61 The journey of a hundred miles is only half complete at ninety.

Krober, City Hall.

"Mayor Doyle, this is an invitation from Shangqiu, hoping to cooperate with us in the medical field..."

Ellie nodded, took the documents from the secretary, and began to look through them.

Not long ago, Doyle Sr. successfully retired, and now Mayor Klopper is succeeded by Doyle Jr. The whole process was smooth and a perfect transition.

After carefully reviewing the document with her grey eyes, Ellie pondered for a moment: "Is our medical university capable of collaborating with Shangqiu?"

"So far, some people have shown remarkable performance, such as Professor Sim, whose research in the field of mental health is outstanding..."

Ellie nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "Have someone investigate this Sim. If there are no problems, let him go to Shangqiu to participate in this cooperation. I hope we can also build a medical system as strong as Shangqiu's."

As Krobel continued to develop, the word "system" became deeply ingrained in Ellie's mind. As someone who had studied the system in Shangqiu, she understood the power of a system and was committed to building a system that belonged to Krobel.

As you can see, IBC Bank has started cooperating with Shangqiu and has begun a frenzy of infrastructure construction in Krobel.

Road traffic, hospitals, energy-guided infrastructure, and energy-guided networks, especially the energy-guided network, became Mary's most promising projects, while President Kourois set his sights on energy-guided energy projects.

Her best friend and her father were very clear about the future trend. After all, with the example of Shangqiu, building a small Shangqiu was not a problem.

However, things have been really tough for Representative Hart's side lately.

Despite her young age, Ellie is very adept at using power. She already enjoys a good reputation among the people, and with the added influence of Old Doyle, she uses IBC Bank as a springboard to begin acquiring important properties owned by the Krober councilors.

At first, these congressmen were driving with a death wish, but Ellie immediately started playing the financial game, making an example of them... After bankrupting one of the most notorious congressmen who employed child labor and ran a brothel within a few days, she immediately launched a media offensive, exposing the sweatshops under the congressmen's control, how they forced women into prostitution, and how they provided bodies for the cult.

After the public trial, the senator was hanged under a directional lamppost in downtown Krober.

Seeing the indignant citizens around him, the other councilors present turned pale and began to re-evaluate the young councilor.

Compared to Old Doyle, Little Doyle's methods were more intimidating to them, and they were also more effective at destroying their spirit!

After dealing with several members of parliament, Speaker Hart's power began to decline rapidly, or rather, he returned to his original position.

At this point, Ellie intervened again, winning over the more law-abiding members of the council, sowing discord among the more powerful members, and finally dealing with the most heinous criminals, quickly bringing the situation in Krober under control.

This was largely due to the escalating infighting between the nobles and reformers within the Rebonian Empire, which prevented them from intervening in the internal affairs of Krobel, while the Republic of Calva was preoccupied with the remnants of the cult.

"By the way, we should strengthen cooperation with Shangqiu in high-tech fields and leverage the advantages of our Krobel International City."

"Understood, Mayor Doyle."

The secretary bowed slightly and then turned and left Ellie's office.
