Chapter 1014 It’s done! Your Excellency, Lord of the Plague, I saw it! (Additional update with 25.47 million reward from book friends)
Wendell Demetri plunged headlong into the work of culturing pathogenic factors—in fact, they should be cultivating viruses.
Raise, raise. Raise something that cannot be seen with the naked eye, cannot be seen with a microscope, cannot be felt with the vision of meditation, and cannot be observed with magic——
Cut, pound, filter, and centrifuge every day. Dilute it with sterile saline, draw it out with a syringe, and inject it into mice or other things. As for whether there are pathogenic factors in the stuff you toss out?
Unless the injected mice are observed to be sick, there's no way to know for sure...
Wendell Demetri hated this situation deeply. He dreamed of seeing it with his own eyes - even if he couldn't see it with his own eyes, he still hoped to prove it in some way.
Accepting the advice of the Plague Lord, he began to filter these solutions over and over again, trying to see them under a microscope:
"First pass, filter with silk..."
Demetri endured his heartache and dug out his thinnest piece of silk - which he intended to give to the female magician he loved, but he didn't find the chance - and cut out a piece.
Single-layer filtration, there are still strange things floating in the filtrate, and it looks quite turbid;
Double-layer filtration, still quite muddy;
Four layers...eight layers...eight layers seems to be the limit. No matter how many layers there are, it can't be filtered anymore...
Demetri took the filtered tissue fluid to a microscope and looked at it. Under the microscope, one by one, one by one, something similar to cells could still be seen.
He kept the words of the Plague Lord firmly in mind, filtering out the bacteria until they could no longer be seen, but they were still able to spread...
So...can't use silk?
If silk doesn't work, then linen will definitely not work, and cotton... most likely won't work either. Wendell Demetri assessed the resources at hand and chose another direction suggested by the Plague Lord:
Thick paper?
The filtration effect of paper is obviously higher than that of silk. Although the filtration speed is much slower, the filtered tissue cells are also much more than those of eight layers of silk. Demetri took a deep breath and took the filtrate to the microscope.
Down……
"Ahhhh! Why is this paper peeling off!!!"
Dmitry doesn't know how to make paper. He ordered paper that is tough, thick, does not shed slag, and can be used as filter paper. Even if someone in Nevis can make it, he will order it overnight and it will take half a year to get it.
.
Therefore, Demetrius could only turn to something else:
Pottery sherds.
Yeah, pottery shards.
"Someone, bring me a pile of clay plates... plain, unglazed, without any color..."
Fortunately, the locals are pretty good at making pottery - in other words, every indigenous tribe has to learn the art of making pottery, otherwise they wouldn't even have tableware. Demetri gave an order, and a pile of clay plates was immediately piled up in front of him.
Let him try slowly one by one:
"...It can't be filtered out at all!"
fall!
Why did he believe the Plague Lord's words?
If a clay dish can be used to filter water, doesn't it mean that it can't hold water or soup at all?
That night, during the free question time after the report, he raised this question. Grete looked up and thought about it:
"Ceramic filter... not all ceramic dishes, ceramic bowls, etc., can be used as filters. The ceramic filter element should have many micropores, with large external pores and small internal pores, so that the water pressure can be
past……"
He summoned [Silent Phantom] and outlined a columnar body, which was densely covered with micropores:
"You try to make them burn a little thinner? Otherwise, you try to use the transfiguration technique?"
Let them burn it sparsely - Demetri doesn't trust the local people's pottery skills very much. Use the deformation technique to create so many densely packed micropores. He doesn't think his deformation technique can be as refined as this.
.
However, Gretel's suggestion gave him some inspiration:
"I can use the Giant Transformation Technique! I can use the Giant Transformation Technique to enlarge this dish. Maybe... the aperture inside is also enlarged?"
"That's okay...after the change, do you remember to take a look at it with a microscope?"
Demetri eagerly tried it. There is a saying that the enlargement technique is really useful, especially when he activated the enlargement technique, he thought "even the aperture will be enlarged". After throwing the enlargement technique, he looked under the microscope
One plug——
Well, not bad, the hole diameter is indeed larger!
Demetri was satisfied and went to filter again. This time, the ceramic filter element finally achieved the effect he wanted, and no bacteria could be seen in the filtrate. Then, he encountered the same problem as the Plague Lord:
No bacteria can be seen in the filtrate, no other pathogenic factors can be seen, nothing can be seen...
Demetrius adds acid and alkali; freezes and slices;
Add litmus water, comfrey water, hematoxylin solution, and all the dyes he could think of;
Use [Detect Rot Sacs], use [Detect Poison], use [Detect Animals and Plants], use [Detect Undead]...
Except for [Detecting Toxicity], which told him that there was something in this filtrate that might be harmful to the human body, all other spells and detection methods failed.
"Even [Detect Animals and Plants] failed... Also, [Detect Animals and Plants] cannot detect bacteria. According to the explanation of the prophecy system, the bacteria are too small. When this magic was created, there was no understanding of bacteria.
…”
As for whether bacteria are animals or plants, in the issue of "Magic" and "Ordinary Magician's Monthly" before departure, there were still three archmages arguing. One said they were animals, one said they were plants, and the third said,
neither animal nor plant...
"Since it's too small, is it possible that if I enlarge it a little bit, I can see it?"
Demetri was full of hope. He picked up the test tube, sucked a drop of the filtrate, and threw it in...
no response.
no response.
Still no response.
Maybe... I missed it?
Demetri thought about it carefully and felt that this might be the reason. One of the most important reasons for the failure of spell casting is the inability to lock on the target - throwing them aimlessly and missing the target will definitely lead to no results!
Perhaps, he should try to find other targets...such as bacteria, such as...cells?
Demetri was gearing up to prepare the filtrate again. With the help of a microscope, he locked a bacterium with his mental power, held his breath and concentrated, and released the magic of enlargement. He chanted a spell, mobilized the spell model, and released——
"Bang!"
Under the microscope, the bacteria he locked on swelled, swelled, swelled...
Exploded.
Exploded!
Light red, dark red, lumpy, flaky, pool after pool... spread out under the microscope. Demetri looked at those things blankly, speechless for a long time:
How could it explode?
Why, if it's fine, it will explode?
The effect of the enlargement spell does not include exploding the object of the spell!
If Gretel knew this news, he would probably throw his arms around and say: You should have asked me earlier, I have tried it a long time ago, and the magic of giant transformation didn't work.
It is estimated that the structural strength of the cell cannot support it. Either the cell wall or the bacterial cell membrane, the strength of the double-layered phospholipid membrane is too low. When the thing inside is large, when it expands, the strength of the membrane composed of double-layered molecules will be lost immediately~
~~
Otherwise, why would I have to work so hard on optical microscopes, staining, and looking for various dyes? I haven’t found gentian violet yet. I’m crying...
However, Demetri did not ask. Although the bacteria exploded, it gave him a hint:
I can observe cells with a microscope!
I can see if there are any changes in these cells to confirm whether there are disease-causing factors in them!
Those little mice are half a gram lighter and half a gram heavier - God knows the weight of a mouse is only about 20 grams, and it will fluctuate by one gram after eating one more bite - the body temperature is 0.1 degrees high and 0.1 degrees low, and their breathing is fast and slow every second.
It looks so troublesome!
I can just look at the cells directly. If I can find regular changes in the cells, I can be sure that these mice that appear to be disease-free are actually infected!
Demetri was greatly inspired. He re-planned his work and set a goal for himself:
Every day, 20, no, 30, no, 50 more mice are dissected!
In addition to ensuring the time for sleeping so that spells can be used tomorrow, all the time other than eating, sleeping, and meditating are used for work!
Anatomy, anatomy, anatomy!
"Wendell, let's go eat! It's rare to have beef brisket stew today! The beef is sent all the way from the north!"
"You go and eat, just leave a bite for me." Wendell Demetri stood in front of the dissecting table, his expression focused, and his voice came out muffled through the mask:
"If it's convenient, leave me a bite of beef and put it in a tortilla..."
"Wendell, come and have a cup of black tea? It's three o'clock in the afternoon. Let's take a rest and eat a biscuit!"
"You go and eat, I'm not done yet." Demetri compared the data recorded in the afternoon and wrote quickly:
"Out of 100 mice infected by injection, 1 showed fever symptoms... 5 were listless... the rest had normal reactions... 10 mice infected with the same batch of pathogenic factors using epidemic techniques showed fever
…”
"It is speculated that the pathogenic factors triggered by [Epidemic Spell] have a relatively strong effect. It may be that the spell increases the toxicity of the pathogenic factors, or promotes their massive growth... It may also be that the control of the spell's fluctuations is not stable enough and requires repeated trials...
…”
"Wendell, why don't you go and rest? Those indigenous girls who bring us food are pretty good..."
"You guys go ahead." Demetri pressed his eyes on the microscope and cast a phantom sound spell to prevent his saliva from spraying on the cover glass when he spoke:
"I still have a little more... wait until I finish observing..."
"Really."
"Working too hard."
"This is why people can become seventh-level mage... I can't stand it... I work ten hours a day and I'm almost paralyzed..."
"Let's go, let's go..."
Footsteps sounded one after another. In the huge laboratory, only the skeletons were still diligently observing, measuring, and feeding. Under a solitary lamp, Demetri immersed himself in hard work:
Work hard!
Work hard!
He doesn’t know how to fight, and the mentor he follows is not of a high level, and he is not a direct descendant of the legendary mage. He can’t even get a golden skeleton! Someone who is ten or twenty years younger than me is already a ninth-level mage or a tenth-level mage.
, I am still at level seven!
It’s such a rare opportunity, how could you not seize it!
Day after day, night after night, finally, Wendell Demetri brought a thick stack of information and knocked on Gretel’s door:
"Lord of the Plague! I made it! I saw it! - You see, this batch of pathogenic factors that have been iterated for 15 rounds were injected into mice. The mice had no reaction, but cell lesions were detected!
"
"The liver, kidneys, and brain cells all have lesions! - After another round of injection with mouse brain extract, the 16th round of pathogenic factors can no longer produce lesions!"
"100 mice, 100 mice are all like this! I speculate that these pathogenic factors can already be used!"
"We have made the vaccine you want!"
