Because the nuclear reactor is used as the source of power, the mobile base does not need to stop and refuel like conventional vehicles. The crew cabin inside the mobile base ensures that the mobile base can continue to move forward even at night, and the rest of the personnel will not affect the operation of the mobile base.

However, although it was night, Chen Xin still did not rest.

On the one hand, the vibration and sound from the car body made him unable to sleep, and on the other hand, he was still thinking about Lucia's discovery of the ancient virus.

The existence of ancient viruses was something scientists had determined a long time ago.

These ancient viruses that have been buried underground for tens of thousands of years are completely different from the various modern viruses facing humans today. The most critical point is that the various conventional antibiotics used by humans do not work against ancient viruses.

Perhaps some people think that modern viruses are more powerful than ancient viruses. The viruses facing humans are now baptized by antibiotics and are constantly evolving. Modern viruses are unable to deal with humans. What can ancient viruses do?

Moreover, viruses are adaptable and evolved specially according to the different hosts of the hosts. They all do not match humans. How can they infect humans?

Worrying about ancient viruses is just a matter of nothing.

However, these views are very wrong.

Human beings are not afraid of viruses now because we have built a complete defense system with antibiotics and modern medicine, keeping the harm of viruses to humans out of the human body.

In fact, without the protection of the modern medical system and the immune system formed by a large number of antibiotics and vaccines, humans are just weak pitiful people in the face of various viruses in nature.

The COVID-19 epidemic before the disaster has fully demonstrated the fragility of human beings when fighting viruses. Without the protection of the modern medical system, it would be difficult for vulnerable human beings to fight highly lethal and transmissible viruses, and they could only bet on the one-in-one-ten thousand herd immunity.

However, even with the protection of the modern medical system, it is still difficult for us to win when fighting unknown viruses.

The war between humans and viruses is nothing more than a constant race against death.

The mutated ability of viruses is its most powerful weapon. Although modern medical technology is changing rapidly and developing rapidly, virus mutation has never stopped.

Humans can develop vaccines against a certain virus, but new viruses will always appear. In this war between humans and viruses, humans are on the defensive and can only defend passively.

And ancient viruses are new enemies that humans have never faced before.

Fortunately, the extreme cold environment under the doomsday limits the spread of the virus, and the long distance between Yan Kingdom and Lucia physically blocks the channels through which the virus can enter Yan Kingdom, which allows Yan Kingdom to not worry about the problem of ancient viruses for the time being, so that Yan Kingdom can have enough time to deal with it calmly.

But this is only temporary. The fall of meteorites caused global fires, and the Arctic glaciers, the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the Siberian Plateau and other places have been affected. The ancient viruses buried deep in ice and snow for tens of millions of years have been released. It is only a matter of time when their harm and impact will erupt.

There is no epidemic situation in Yan Country yet, but this does not mean that you can rest assured.

So what Chen Xin is thinking now is how to prevent the possible epidemic.

It is not difficult to defend against virus invasion. At the beginning of the construction of the official shelters, the filtering of harmful substances in the air was considered. Without accidents, the virus cannot be transmitted through the air to enter the shelter.

As long as human infections can be strictly enforced and strictly prevented, they can still resist infection.

But passive defense cannot solve the problem. With shields, there must be attacking spears!

Chen Xin is not a medical scientist or an expert in virus research, but he knows one thing that is, if he wants to fight the virus, the most effective method is to vaccines!

Vaccines are automatic immune preparations for preventing infectious diseases by artificially attenuating, inactivated or using genetically modified methods.

Vaccines retain the characteristics of pathogenic bacteria to stimulate the immune system of animals. When animals come into contact with this intoxicating pathogen, the immune system will produce certain protective substances, such as immune hormones, active physiological substances, special antibodies, etc.

Therefore, when animals come into contact with this pathogen again, the animal's immune system will follow its original memory and create more protective substances to prevent the pathogen from harming.

If you want to make a vaccine, the original strain of the virus is essential, and then it must go through multiple processes such as attenuation, filtration, animal experiments, and human experiments.

According to the normal development process of vaccines, it usually takes more than three to five years to develop a vaccine, or even more than ten years to truly invest in clinical use.

Therefore, how to quickly and effectively develop vaccines and shorten the development cycle of vaccines is a very important thing in the fight against the virus.

If it is normal, even if there is a lot of investment, it is a matter of not getting faster. After all, no program should be missing.

However, for Chen Xin, with the support of the system, it is possible to consider manufacturing a device that can quickly produce vaccines and achieve rapid mass production.

This is not a very difficult thing for Chen Xin.

In addition, Chen Xin also turned his attention to medical treatment because of this incident.

Maybe it’s time to make some useful medical equipment yourself?

Chen Xin felt that this matter could be put on the agenda.

Take out a small notebook I carried with me all the time, and it was filled with various ideas and plans. Some of the things written on it have been realized, some have changed, and there are also parts that have not been realized yet.

He wrote two articles on medical equipment research and development and vaccine preparation equipment for viruses in the notebook, and Chen Xin also thought about what kind of medical equipment he wanted to make.

Manufacturing medical equipment itself is not a difficult task for Chen Xin. Even a medical cabin that can undergo automatic surgery and repair human trauma can enter the nanorobots that kill cancer cells inside the body...

For Chen Xin, these are not difficult to make, but he thinks that compared with various medical equipment for treatment, a lightweight and compact detection instrument that can be used quickly and accurately is the thing that should be made first.

After all, in many cases, the difficulty is not how to treat it, but how to detect and diagnose it in time.

As for what kind of detection instruments should be made, Chen Xin thinks that the tertiary instrument commonly used by Old Bones in "Star Trek" is a very good choice.
