Chapter 303 - Chapter 464: AdmissionZhao

Min and Lan Xi are suspected of being infected with the vfv virus and must be isolated for observation.This test result made Chen Mo's heart feel incredibly heavy.Fortunately, Chen Mo, Xiao Yu, Lan Xi, Wang Sijia, and others who had contact with Zhao Min were not infected with the virus.Because Xiao Yu and Xiao Wushuang were fine, the biggest burden in his heart was lifted.He was just afraid that if Zhao Min were infected, and then he, Xiao Yu, and the child were infected as well, it would be very troublesome.Although this result was fortunate, he couldn't bring himself to be happy.The doctor's examination results showed that although Zhao Min did not have any symptoms of the vfv virus, laboratory tests found pathogen-related antibodies in her blood.The vfv virus detection reagent from Glaxo Company also indicated that her blood contained the vfv virus, and it could not be ruled out that she was still in the incubation period.After the suspected infection was discovered, the hospital placed Zhao Min in isolation and had her residence and office disinfected.Chen Mo also ordered the company headquarters to close for a week for re-disinfection.Neither the Binhai City officials nor the Army Ant Group chose to announce this news to the public; since there was no confirmed diagnosis yet, they feared causing unnecessary panic in Binhai City."How are you feeling now?" Chen Mo looked at Zhao Min, who was wearing a hospital gown in the holographic projection, his expression serious."I'm eating well and sleeping soundly. It's rare to get a break, so I'll just treat it as a vacation. Don't look so glum; it's only a suspected case, not confirmed yet." Zhao Min said somewhat lightly: "If I really am infected with the VFV, do you think I'll die?""Don't talk nonsense," Chen Mo said, displeased."What if?""There is no 'what if.' Even if there were, I would find a way to save you. I still need you to make money for me."Zhao Min rolled her eyes: "You heartless jerk, treating me like a money-making tool. Big Sister here doesn't want to die. I'm a beautiful, wealthy woman who hasn't even dated yet; it would be a pity to die. When I get out, you'd better give me, your backup mistress, a passionate hug."What does she mean by 'backup mistress'?A few black lines appeared on Chen Mo's forehead. At a time like this, Zhao Min still had the heart to joke with him. However, it was a good thing that Zhao Min remained optimistic."You'll get your hug, but wait until you get out.""You promised, you owe me a hug." Zhao Min was in a great mood.The holographic video call ended. Chen Mo called to check on Lan Xi's situation again, his brows furrowed tightly.It seemed he also needed to research the issue of a specific drug for the vfv virus; if Zhao Min and Lan Xi were truly infected, he couldn't just stand by and watch.Xiao Yu walked into the study and, seeing Chen Mo's worried expression, walked over: "Hubby, how is Sister Zhao?""Her condition is currently okay."After a slight hesitation, Xiao Yu spoke again: "Hubby, I'm planning to have Pearl take Xiao Wushuang back to my parents' place.""And you?""Sister Zhao is currently in isolation, and I know you're going to be researching drugs to fight the virus. There are some major company matters that Julie and Ling Feng can't decide on, and they need someone to make the final call. You don't have the time, so I'm the best candidate right now. I want to go to the company to fill in for a while and come back when Sister Zhao gets out. The company cannot be without a leader," Xiao Yu said."How did you know I wanted to research drugs?""I'm your wife, don't I know what you're thinking at a time like this?"Xiao Yu continued."Don't worry, the company has Sister Julie, Ling Feng, and the entire team to assist, plus Ink girl is there. When necessary, I can call to ask for Sister Zhao's input. Even if I'm an amateur, this business empire is already established and won't collapse that easily. Besides, with Sister Julie and the others, my work just involves signing my name on documents, so you can focus on your work with peace of mind.""Don't overwork yourself," Chen Mo said."That's what I should be saying to you. If I can't be a perfect wife, at least I won't cause you any trouble. Go do your work." Xiao Yu gently hugged Chen Mo and turned to leave.In the study, only Chen Mo remained. After a moment of thought, Chen Mo lay back in his chair and entered the Technology Library.Biomedical field."Drug No. 27," "Emery Influenza Drug," "Laughing Death Disease Specific Drug"... "Erythema Virus Vaccine," "Itch Virus Vaccine," "Fever Virus Vaccine"...Chen Mo brought up the technical catalog in the medical field; they were all drugs he didn't recognize.There were countless materials on specific drugs, as well as many vaccines.However, these drugs only targeted one type of virus or a specific symptom. He didn't know which drug would be effective against the vfv virus, and it was impossible to synthesize all of them to test one by one; who knows how long that would take...."Height Growth Drug," "Myopia Specific Drug"..."Anti-Radiation Drug," "Heat Death Disease Specific Drug," "Anti-Cold Drug," "Anti-Cancer Drug No. 91," "Virus X Vaccine," "DNA Virus Vaccine," "RNA Virus Vaccine No. 002"..."Super Cancer Vaccine," "Universal RNA Virus Vaccine No. 53"...In the [Technology Apprentice] stage, there were also many drug technologies, but unfortunately, the biomedical field tasks for the apprentice stage had not been completed. He did not have the authority to acquire the universal vaccine and specific drugs for the vfv virus, so he could only look at them without being able to obtain them.After a quick look around, Chen Mo returned to the technical catalog of the Trainee stage."DNA Virus Activity Attenuation Agent," "RNA Virus Activity Attenuation Agent"...Seeing the catalog on this page, Chen Mo's eyes lit up. This page was full of agents to weaken virus activity. Although it couldn't cure the disease completely, delaying the activity to buy more treatment time for patients was not bad either.Chen Mo chose three of them without hesitation.After selecting them, he turned to other pages."RNA Virus Vaccine Development," "RNA Virology," "Viral Protein Target Sites"...Chen Mo obtained ten books related to viruses in one go. These books were not specific drugs, but rather theoretical disciplines of infectious diseases.With so many drugs, he wasn't sure which one was effective against the vfv virus. There was a universal vaccine in the apprentice stage, but he couldn't access the technology, so he had to research it himself.Only when his head started to ache did Chen Mo stop selecting books. Once he completely digested the books he had selected, it would be enough for him to become an expert in infectious diseases and virology...."The first stage of vfv virus infection manifests as dizziness, brain swelling, chest tightness, dry heaving, and even coma. The second stage is characterized by systemic erythema, pustules, and systemic fever. In fatal cases, subcutaneous tissue decay appears, but no bleeding symptoms are found in the patient's internal organs or intestines."Wu Bing listened attentively to Academician Zhong Shan's video presentation, occasionally checking the materials in her hands. This was virus data sent back from the front lines of the epidemic. Given the special circumstances, data regarding the VFV was currently being shared by global medical research teams.Renowned infectious disease experts like Academician Zhong Shan had joined a 72-person group under the emergency summons of the World Health Organization.Domestically, an expert team was also organized at the first opportunity to carry out research on prevention and treatment plans. The people attending the meeting now were top domestic pharmaceutical R&D experts, and each of them had a drug R&D team under their command.As the youngest medical academician of the Academy of Engineering, Wu Bing also joined this war.The RS Organization did not target the country, but they still had to be on high alert because the country was already considered an innocent bystander, suffering significant collateral damage. There were 21 confirmed cases and 39 suspected cases, all of which were isolated. Fortunately, having had experience with epidemic prevention, the response was quick, and the outbreak was now within the scope of control.However, Europe and North America were not so lucky. In high-incidence areas, protective medical supplies like protective suits and masks were already reported to be in short supply. Medical personnel were also in critical short supply, and even some students from medical schools were participating.The World Health Organization also requested material assistance from some countries and regions where the epidemic was not severe.Currently, there were 37 deaths globally, and the cure rate was 0%. This meant that for the time being, there were no medical means to treat those infected with the virus.Health departments from various countries collaborated, and together with the World Health Organization's medical team, they tested over 2,800 drugs, including Tamiflu, the EBOR vaccine, and specific drugs, but found no drug effective against the vfv virus. It might be necessary to find an entirely new specific drug or vaccine targeting the VFV.Academician Zhong Shan's video presentation concluded, and the atmosphere in the room solidified.At the meeting site, Shi Hongtu, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked around the room with a serious expression. Just as he was about to speak, a doctor hurried into the conference room and whispered a few words in his ear.After the doctor finished, Shi Hongtu looked at everyone and said: "Just received a notification that a new member has joined our R&D team: Academician Chen Mo from the Academy of Engineering. For the time being, Academician Chen will join us in the research for a specific drug for the vfv virus. Everyone, please welcome him."After Shi Hongtu finished speaking, Chen Mo walked in from outside the conference room, bowed slightly to the experts in the room, and said humbly: "I hope to contribute a little bit of my meager strength."
