Chapter 72 The Cure for the Mad Dragon Virus
But Amobi managed to achieve a goal that they themselves would find difficult to accomplish today, using rudimentary techniques.
"Could it be that they look similar, but their technology is actually a bit more advanced than ours?"
Han Bei couldn't help but speak up.
After all, he was well aware that the Jurassic World contained relics of ancient civilizations.
However, whether Liang Wuyi and the others knew this or not, Han Bei had no idea.
Perhaps that seemingly crude technology is actually more advanced than the CRISPR-Cas9 technology that Great Xia currently possesses?
After all, even the Great Xia Dynasty couldn't do it, but the other side did. Isn't that another kind of advancement?
"I don't know for now."
Liang shook his head innocence. They didn't know the source of the technology the other party possessed.
Therefore, it is impossible to conduct effective research on it.
"By the way, has mass production of the medicine begun yet?"
Su Yang asked.
Although heavy iron supplements can directly neutralize the mad dragon virus, they need to be injected into the body.
For Su Yang, it was still too much trouble.
Furthermore, the physical attributes of those carnivorous dinosaurs, after being enhanced, meant that the outer layer of their keratin layer had become incredibly thick.
With the current injection needles available in the Great Xia Dynasty, it is truly difficult to inject the medicine into the other party's body to achieve the effect of eliminating the Mad Dragon virus.
It couldn't even break through the opponent's defenses, let alone insert the needle.
Another point is that the parasitized dinosaurs exhibited extremely strong aggression towards different species.
This applies to both herbivorous and carnivorous dinosaurs.
Therefore, to completely eliminate the rotavirus, a more efficient and convenient injection method is needed.
"Not yet, the production line isn't finished yet. And the quantity of heavy iron isn't enough to support large-scale production."
Liang Wuyi shook his head.
If all the heavy iron were used to make the antidote.
That might only be slightly off, but that's unrealistic, considering that heavy rail can be applied to countless fields.
Industries such as aerospace, medicine, and weapons manufacturing are all areas of demand for heavy rail.
In the pharmaceutical field, research focuses solely on antidotes, so the demand for heavy iron is far less than that for the other two.
Especially in the area of weapons manufacturing.
In other words, a weapon that originally had a strength of 1 can have its strength increased to 10 after adding heavy iron!
It has increased several times over.
Therefore, in terms of military equipment, the demand for heavy iron is the greatest.
Most of the heavy trains that Sukyo had just returned from last time were transported to the military for the development of secret weapons.
They received only a small portion.
"Let's study it further and see if there's a more suitable way to use it."
Su Yang spoke to Liang Wuyi.
"More suitable?"
Liang Wuyi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
Clearly, they hadn't expected Su Yang to say that.
After all, on Earth, apart from intravenous injection being the fastest, other injection methods are somewhat inferior.
"With the strength of this needle, it probably couldn't even pierce the skin of an infected dinosaur."
Su Yang glanced at the syringe on the lab table and spoke.
"Didn't you notice anything when you were taking blood from Al for the experiment?"
Upon hearing Su Yang's words, Liang Wuyi suddenly remembered.
It seems there really is such a thing.
Previously, when extracting blood from Al, ordinary needles couldn't penetrate his skin.
They were only able to successfully extract it after using a specially made needle.
Unlike humans, whose skin is incredibly delicate and bleeds easily from even the slightest scratch.
Thinking about it this way, Su Yang's words weren't unreasonable. How could an ordinary injection needle possibly pierce through the thicker skin of a dinosaur?
"You mean, orally?"
"Not necessarily, inhaling it is also fine. As long as it enters the body and can help eliminate the Mad Dragon virus, the specific method is not too important."
"The only requirement is to be able to deliver the medicine into the infected dinosaurs without much effort."
Su Yang shook his head.
If it were possible to atomize pesticides and inhale them like a drone spraying pesticides or an asthma inhaler.
That's the most convenient injection method.
All you need to do is have the drones carry the medicine and then fly around spraying the atomized medicine.
"OK."
Liang nodded upon hearing this.
As a researcher in the field of biology, how could he not know about the existence of nebulized medicine?
The medication is fine now; we just need to ensure that no accidents occur when the nebulized medication is inhaled, and that it can effectively neutralize the mad dragon virus.
However, achieving this shouldn't be too difficult.
We can try it out when the time comes.
"We need to finish the research in the next couple of days. Once the New World base is established, we'll be in talks with them soon."
Before leaving, Su Yang didn't forget to give her some final words of advice.
The negotiations he was referring to were, of course, with the head of the healing faction.
To bring the Jurassic World under the Great Xia's control, one must wipe out both factions—that's simply unrealistic.
Although the Great Xia also has this ability.
However, this method is too time-consuming and laborious, and it is thankless.
But things will be different once the drug is developed.
They can wait until the base is built, then take the antidote and negotiate with the healing faction.
Use both carrot and stick tactics, and appropriately demonstrate their weaponry capabilities.
In this way, having the Healers as allies would be much more convenient, and it would also make it easier for them to support the Arcana tribe and make them the new high-ranking members of the Healers' main faction.
At that point, they will only need to free up their hands to deal with the radicals.
After all, the current attitude of the healing faction can still be won over. However, there is absolutely no possibility of winning over the radical faction.
Therefore, the Great Xia had no choice but to take stronger measures to make an example of them.
"By the way, do you have any in stock?"
Zhang Changgong, who was about to leave, suddenly asked.
"Yes, but not many. Only about a hundred."
Liang nodded indifferently, then quickly bent down and took out the remaining potions.
Looking at the slightly dark liquid in the test tube, Zhang Changgong nodded and said.
"Pack half of it for me, take it over for testing first."
"no problem."
Upon hearing this, Liang unintentionally began packaging.
Before long, fifty vials of medicine were placed in a fixed briefcase.
Looking at the neatly arranged vials of medicine embedded in the box, Zhang Changgong frowned slightly, feeling that something was missing.
"Should we use some larger test tubes?"
Han Bei stared at the reagents and spoke.
It would be almost unrealistic to try to break through the defenses of an infected dinosaur using a common needle from Earth.
"I almost forgot about this."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Changgong immediately remembered.
They then contacted someone and commissioned a batch of thicker and longer needles.
After all, Zhang Changgong had witnessed the physical strength of those dinosaurs.
An ordinary needle, let alone piercing the skin, would probably bend upon impact.
