During the period when Heng Liya was locked in the basement, a large-scale acute respiratory infectious disease broke out in Zhenguo.

At the beginning of the disease, the hospitals in Zhenguo only thought that the first few pills were ordinary patients with fever and colds. As a result, the patients died one after another. When more and more patients and the hospitals began to be helpless, the government attracted the attention of the Zhenguo government.

The CDC warning sounded that in order to isolate the source of infection, Zhenguo isolated all patients. A large area at the foot of Yanggong Mountain became a severely affected area, and people were prohibited from entering and leaving.

At the same time, an expert group composed of the Institute of Biology began to urgently conduct research on the epidemic virus.

After a tense study and discussion, the Biological Institute's laboratory characterized the origin of the disaster as severe acute respiratory syndrome, a novel coronavirus, also known as Sham virus.

Common symptoms of Sham virus infection are fever, headache, muscle soreness, respiratory failure, the incubation period of the virus is 1 to 16 days, and it usually turns from latent to obvious symptoms after 3 to 5 days. It has an acute onset and is highly contagious, and fever is the first symptom.

The source of the virus was found and the virus was also determined. However, it was the first time that experts from the real country saw this new type of coronavirus. They had not found effective antiviral drugs to treat, so they could only suggest that before the new drug was studied, the hospital's existing antibacterial drugs should be temporarily selected to temporarily delay the patient's condition.

Seeing the number of deaths caused by the virus increasing day by day, as the president of the real country, Wang Shouren is naturally disappointed that the Institute of Biology cannot develop new drugs in time...

Because, without effective drug treatment, the lives of more than 100,000 people in the area at the foot of Yanggong Mountain are at stake. Moreover, if these more than 100,000 people cannot be treated and controlled, the panic caused will spread and continue to spread with the virus. The crisis will involve the whole country. This is really an unimaginable disaster.

Wang Shouren was worried all day long and couldn't fall asleep. He was anxiously waiting for the results every day. He had issued an order requiring Director Chen and the hospital head in charge of the patient area to report to his office every day, the spread of the epidemic and the progress of drug research and development.

It's a new day, and the tall and burly president still stretches out his usual round face, frowns and a serious expression.

Seeing Director Chen come in, he asked, "How is the progress of the development of new drugs in your laboratory?"

Director Chen also browned and replied: "It's hard. We are helpless against this new virus and have exhausted all methods... The Sham virus is too powerful and can't find a new drug to treat it for the time being... The main reason is that its resistance is too strong. All our antibacterial drugs currently do not work for it. I think this Sham virus is a disaster that our real country cannot escape, and we have tried our best..."

Upon hearing this, the president got angry: "Are we just waiting to die?! You reported to me like this, how did you become the director of the research institute? If not, I will remove your position and let capable people become the director!"

At this time, General Jing Zhiqiang came to the office. He came to report to the president that the small neighboring country Oman had recently provoked the borders of the real country.

Seeing that the president was getting angry about the Sham virus, he moved his mind and carefully proposed to the president: "Sir, there is actually a god, you have forgotten her. Maybe she can handle the Sham virus."

"Who?" the President and Director Chen asked almost at the same time.

General Jing replied: "Professor Hengliya."

"Professor Heng..." The president thought for a moment, turned his head and asked Director Chen, "Why didn't she participate in the research on Sham virus this time?"

Director Chen lowered his head and did not dare to look at the president, and hesitated: "Yes, you, you... want me to put her in custody..."

"Have I said I would put her in a lockdown? You are simply nonsense!" The president cursed, "You immediately notify all the experts in the institute and the heads of major hospitals. In the afternoon, I will go to your institute to listen to your opinions. Director Chen, you must come up with a plan for new drug research. You must develop effective new drugs within one week. You must not allow the Sham virus to continue to spread in our country. If you can't do it, don't be your director. Also, Professor Heng must be present at the afternoon meeting."

Director Chen nodded on the surface and agreed, but was indignant: [Hmph, it is impossible to develop a new drug in a week... Who can do it on the Earth planet? Even if you change to many new directors, you can't study the new drug. It will take at least one or two years to study Sham virus new drugs. By then, everyone in the areas around Yanggong Street will probably die.]

Thinking is here, he felt that his strengths had come to an end.

In the afternoon, the Sham virus research report meeting was held in the conference room of the Institute of Biology. The meeting was chaired by President Wang Shouren. The famous doctors, deans and experts from major hospitals in the Zhenguo Kingdom, totaling more than 300 people, filled all the seats in the conference room of the Institute and temporarily added several rows of chairs.

All the people who came to participate had a calm expression. Director Chen sat in the seat next to the rostrum with a mournful face.

The President took the lead in speaking: "Everyone, I'm summoning you here today to hear your report. The Sham virus has been raging in our country for half a month, and we still have not found a way to restrain it. So far, our Sham virus has claimed 127 lives. All of us here still cannot come up with an effective treatment method. If the virus is allowed to develop, it is afraid that its virus will continue to spread in our country and endanger the lives of our people. Today I ask you not only to report, but also to propose effective treatment methods for infectious diseases caused by the Sham virus."

The director of the National Hospital spoke first: "In order to prevent the spread of Sham virus, we have taken many measures to control the source of infection. 1. Isolate and treat patients, and the clinically diagnosed cases and suspected cases should be isolated and observed and treated according to respiratory infectious diseases; 2. Isolate and observe close contacts, and medically observe cases and close contacts, designated locations for isolation and observation. At present, according to the highest incidence rate and the largest number of patients in the Yanggong Street area, we have designated it as an isolation area and prohibited personnel from entering and leaving; 3. The hospital has set up a fever clinic and established a special channel for Sham virus. These measures have played a positive role in preventing the continued spread of Sham virus."

Next, the famous internal medicine doctor of the National Hospital spoke: "I will report on our work some time ago. Before we found the special antiviral drugs for Sham virus, we have adopted four treatment methods, including general treatment, oxygen therapy, glucocorticoid application, and antibacterial drug application. Among them, the application of glucocorticoid is mainly aimed at severe poisoning symptoms, high fever lasts for 3 days, or the area of ​​the lung shadow expands by more than 50% within 48 hours. The application of antibacterial drugs is to prevent and treat bacterial infections. In clinical practice, macrolides, fluoroquinolones, lactams, tetracyclines, etc. Since there is no certain effective antiviral drug treatment, our hospital has tried to choose to try existing antiviral drugs to treat patients, but the efficacy is not good. Because the virus comes suddenly, spreads rapidly, and the infectious population continues to expand, we have tried our best... We urgently hope that the research department can develop effective antiviral drugs as soon as possible to stop this plague."

It was the turn of the experts at the institute to speak, all of them lowered their heads and kept silent.

Professor Heng Liya sat in the last row and was reading a lot of information about the Sham virus institute that Director Chen asked the experts to give her an hour before the meeting. Suddenly, she heard the president ask her to speak by name:

"Professor Heng, what are your tricks to prevent the spread of Sham virus?"

Then, more than 300 pairs of eyes at the venue were looking at Heng Liya in unison.
