"I met Captain Richards at the base hospital. His legs were blown away by mines. Richards was undoubtedly lucky compared to the other dead people. The Arabs are becoming stronger and stronger in melee combat. They have that terrible exoskeleton system, familiar with the terrain, and cruel... Although they are not willing, they must admit that they are no longer the way we originally launched the "Desert Storm". Time has changed everything, and they have changed from sheep to hungry wolf. It seems that it is time to withdraw and return the desert to them."

"I heard that Washington is studying related topics for militarization of exoskeleton systems. They should be able to achieve results easily. In addition to strengthening the power system, bulletproof armor must also be installed... If we continue to do this according to this model, there may be mobile armor in science fiction novels."

This page of the file is only half, and it ends here. Liu Tianming opened the back part and found that there were two other pages.

That was another recorder, and the content of the document was no longer an exoskeleton medical system, but about bacteria.

"Recordor: Samantha, Columbia University's Global Health Institute, infectious disease and epidemic expert."

"June 28: The Taj Mahal is really beautiful, it completely eliminates all my disgust towards India since I got off the plane. Forrest also thinks so. Although the country is dirty and the streets are filled with all kinds of unimaginable terrible smells, for now, I am very satisfied with the trip."

"I don't like the food here. I'm not referring to curry, but sweets like fried dough. God! Do people here put sugar in whatever they eat? That's definitely not to put a little bit into the food for seasoning, nor to put two spoons on it when drinking milk. They picked up the sugar jars and turned over... I know a few British friends, and there is no such terrible snack in British afternoon tea. I tasted one of the fried doughs sold on the street and could not eat them again. It was so sweet. Forrest ate it with relish and ate all the rest of my life. He patted his stomach and told me: Don't waste food, you should enjoy happiness in the process of eating. This is an absolute obedience to the Creator."

"July 3: We left Mumbai and came to Kathmandu."

"Frest's condition was not very good. He felt very uncomfortable since he got on the plane. This was the first time I saw him not having a meal on the plane, but asked the flight attendant for a glass of water. After that, Forrest kept sweating, accompanied by strong vomiting, and then coughing... Fortunately, there were not many passengers on the plane, so we moved to the position where there were few people behind. Forrest was gasping for a while, his skin was terrible. I had never seen him sweat so much, and he was almost exhausted."

"I finally got off the plane and I took Forrest to the nearest clinic. The doctor diagnosed with peritonitis and was accompanied by upper respiratory tract infection. These two diseases were basically consistent with Forrest's symptoms. The doctor prescribed Forrest. I didn't go anywhere for a whole day and stayed in the hotel with him."

"July 5: Forrest's condition showed no sign of improvement. He coughed even more severely, and even experienced intermittent tremors and convulsions. I had serious doubts about Indian medical technology. Fortunately, I bought the air ticket yesterday and contacted my friend in Switzerland. At this time, money can no longer be used to measure the problem. I directly chartered the flight to Zurich. On the way, Forrest grabbed my hand tightly, as if I was his only hope."

"July 6: Dr. Hoffman informed me of the test results. It was not peritonitis, nor was it an upper respiratory tract infection. Forrest was infected with a very terrible bacteria, and the chance of death was terrible."

"The purpose of humans to develop antibiotics is to fight bacteria. Just as the tanks appeared to fight machine guns, there are also antibiotics that are helpless and powerful among the bacteria. This is the case for the bacteria that infect Forrest. It is very stubborn and has not been cured yet. All known infected people are dead. Hoffman has no choice. He gave me two suggestions: First, bring enough stimulants and auxiliary drugs, and take Forrest around the world. Second, take conservative treatment and let Forrest try to see how to increase the dose of antibiotics."

"Of course I chose the latter. I want to save my husband. Traveling around the world is a matter of two people. I will never take a dying patient to go there. I want him to recover and stand up again."

"July 22: Dr. Hoffman's treatment has no effect. High doses of antibiotics have no lethality on the bacteria in Forrest's body. This was something that had been expected and there was no unexpected hope. What's worse, the bacteria in Forrest's body have become resistant. Today's blood tests confirm this."

"July 30: Forrest's condition continued to worsen, and the bacterial infection had spread to the blood and lungs. He began to experience bloody shock in pus and blood, and continued to fall into a coma, and even hallucinations. He woke up and fell asleep in the hospital bed, woke up and kept talking nonsense. I watched from the side with my heart. I knew Forrest might not be able to hold on anymore, which is a sign that a severely ill patient is on the verge of death."

"August 2: Hoffman invited me into his office. He told me very sorry that he had exhausted all the antibiotics that he could choose. The bacteria in Forrest's body still cannot be removed. He was really powerless. The speed of bacteria evolution far exceeded the speed of developing new antibiotics, which is the biggest problem that all doctors in the world must face."

"I'm completely desperate."

"In the evening, Forrest woke up very rarely. He wanted to watch the Discovery Channel, which was his favorite TV show. I did as I did, and the fight between the eagle and the snake happened to appear on the screen."

"This may be the inspiration God gave me in moments of despair!"

"I suddenly thought that the key to whether Forrest's life can continue is actually whether it can eliminate the bacteria that constantly erode his body. This is the same as the police catching the murderer in advance and allowing the victim to survive. So, when antibiotics cannot kill bacteria, is there anything else in this world that can kill bacteria?"

“My profession is to study infectious diseases and epidemics, and I know the answer is “have.”

"It's very simple. Bacteria is also a kind of organism. It is also in the food chain of the earth's natural world and is also in the process of being hunted by other species. Just as snakes are natural enemies of mice, natural enemies of bacteria are also in nature. This is a rule, and no one is exceptional and must be followed unconditionally."

"Its name is bacteriophage."

"Phiophages are a special group among viruses. They are small in size and will parasitize targeted in specific bacteria or fungi, replicate and reproduce, and erode and disintegrate bacteria from within... This process is predation, which is no different from lion hunting on the grassland. Although the size of bacteria is much larger than that of viruses, they are the best granary in front of phages. As long as they move in, they will no longer have to worry about food."

"This is a purely physical biological attack, a process of eating and decomposing after killing prey, so there is no problem of drug resistance. This is the case with hunting between natural enemies. There will never be any animal carcasses left on the grassland. They have their own value in the eyes of creatures of all levels of populations."

"I became excited: just finding the right phage can kill the bacteria in Forrest's body and save his life."

"Speaking of this method, this method is not my own. In fact, bacteriophage therapy was discovered very early and was also described in medical journals in detail. Few people know about this treatment, mainly because a large number of antibiotics were discovered and then entered the field of practical use. Humans always like simple and effective things and do not choose complex and cumbersome objects. The same is true for bacteriophage therapy. If Forrest had not encountered an accident, I would definitely not have thought of this."

"August 5: Lieutenant Colonel Hamo from the Naval Medical Laboratory called me. I couldn't find him yesterday, so I had to leave a message on the automatic answering machine. Lieutenant Colonel Hamo is the research director of biochemical defense at the Naval Medical Experimental Center. More than ten years ago, the Military Medical Department noticed the failure of antibiotics in the face of evolving bacteria, so I set up this laboratory specifically. It was just that because there were no actual cases, Hamo's research was rarely known to the outside world."

"Hamo is happy to help. This is a very enthusiastic man. He proposed two solutions: I took Forrest to find him, or he flew to Switzerland with phages. In terms of time, it is obviously much better."

"August 7: Forrest's kidney function has failed and must be maintained by dialysis. His condition is getting worse and worse, and he falls into a continuous coma. From yesterday to now, he has only woken up three times, and his consciousness is blurred every time, and there is no sign of awakening."

"Lt. Col. Hamo arrived at the hospital at noon today. Dr. Hoffman did the drug treatment in the shortest time. When those phages were slowly injected into Forrest's body through the veins and chest catheters, I felt that the whole world was once again shrouded in the sun, and everything was filled with light."

"I'm right. The phage therapy has had a good effect on Forrest, and his body and consciousness have begun to gradually recover. After several weeks of unconsciousness, he opened his eyes for the first time and developed a conscious awareness. He can recognize me and call out his name. God! I have never been as excited as I am today."
