The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2250: Universe-Level Reasonableness

"Space Bacteria Dali!"

Horii's eyes suddenly lit up, he didn't care about the name, but heard 'precedent'.

It's good to have precedents. We are afraid of exceptions in everything, and we are even more afraid of unprecedented things.

Because it means knowing nothing, and all the time will probably be spent on exploration.

The medical history of mankind has proved one thing, that is, disease is not actually scary. What is scary is knowing nothing about it. If you don’t know, you can’t prescribe the right medicine. You need to spend a lot of time to understand and try, and many people can’t persist in this process.

Once we understand the pathogenic mechanism and transmission route, we can find ways to eliminate it and use targeted medication for treatment.

Even viruses and bacteria that are familiar to humans require a lot of time and energy, let alone completely unfamiliar microorganisms.

This microscopic monster called Cosmic Bacteria Dali is completely beyond human understanding of biology. There is not even a single relevant theory. It is most apt to describe it as something never seen or heard of before.

In this case, it is equivalent to starting from scratch, and the time required is immeasurable. Can Jimeng hold on until then?

So, Horii was so excited when he heard that there were records in the Land of Light. Records mean there have been studies, and research means there are data, and data means we can learn more.

"Um"

Qianye Cheng carefully recalled the information he had read at that time and said: "Although it is classified as bacteria, its lifestyle after invading the human body is more like that of a parasite. Its personality is not as violent as that of a monster. It only retains the fighting instinct of a living thing. It likes the fibrin in human blood and generally attaches to blood vessels to suck blood.

In addition, it can release hormones or pheromones to control the mind of the parasitic human, so as to find fresh blood. When controlling the host, it can make the host spray out a white mist from the mouth that makes people faint, and then take the opportunity to transfer. "

Chiba Makoto recalled the relevant content he had seen in the Kingdom of Light. It was not very long, only a few pages, because even in the Kingdom of Light, only Seven, as a star observer, had encountered it once, and these materials were also compiled and preserved by Seven.

Horii quickly asked, "Is there a solution?"

"Have!"

In the light of hope rising in the eyes of the Horii couple, Chiba Makoto raised his finger and pointed at himself, saying: "Ultra Seven will micronize itself, then enter the host body and eliminate the cosmic bacteria Dali."

"Ah, this"

This method made the expressions on the faces of the Horii couple somewhat out of control. They entered into the body of Ji Meng and then fought against the monster.
When it comes to the battle between monsters and Ultraman, the first thing that comes to mind is the devastated battlefield after the war, with crooked buildings, bumpy streets, and ruins all over the mountains.

One battle means the suffering of half a city.

In the past, whenever I saw such scenes on TV or on the Internet, I couldn't help but sigh and say comfortingly that this was an inevitable price to pay, but it was better than the entire city being destroyed.

And now, their own son is going to become a 'battlefield', how can parents not be worried and afraid?

Even if he is not only concerned with killing monsters and not caring about people's lives, the noise of a fight between Ultraman and the monsters is not something that the tender human body can withstand.

"Is there no other way?" Qianhe felt that the despair in her heart was about to drown her. Ever since Ji Meng fell into a coma, bad news came one after another. At first, the disease could not be found. Now the disease is known, but it is better not to know it. Finally, a solution was found, but this solution is worse than having no solution at all.

What stands out is the house-demolishing effect, but it is the opposite. When you think that opening the window will solve the problem, the roof is directly ripped off from the opposite side.

The blows came one after another, making Chizuru really feel like she couldn't bear it anymore. She couldn't imagine her own child, with flesh and bones falling from her body and Ultraman and monsters fighting inside, how painful it would be, and how much suffering the child would suffer.

Qianye Cheng patiently explained: "It is not difficult to destroy the monster, and I have a way to move the battlefield. No matter how intense the battle is, it will not cause any damage to Ji Meng's cells. The real difficulty is how to find the cosmic bacteria Dali."

"Uh"

Horii also calmed down at this time, mainly because he heard Chiba Makoto say that he would move the battlefield and would not cause harm to Jimeng. Horii still believed Chiba's words. They have been together for so many years, and Chiba Makoto would not say anything if he was not sure. Therefore, Horii calmed down and began to think seriously.

Indeed, the real difficulty lies in finding the cosmic bacteria Dali.

This is the same as treating a disease. Even targeted drugs need to be dispersed throughout the body along the blood vessels, which is equivalent to knocking on doors and asking "Do you have germs? Are you sick?" If the answer is negative, you will go to the next door. If the answer is positive, you will go forward and start.

But medicine can do this, but Ultraman can't.

Because there are many medicines, but there is only one Ultraman.

If we really have to go door to door to ask, I'm afraid Ji Meng would die of old age before we finish asking them all.

You should know that the human body has thirty to forty trillion cells. If one hour is 3,600 seconds, one day is 86,400 seconds, and one year is more than 31.5 million seconds, even if a person can live for a hundred years, it is only more than 3 billion seconds. This is equivalent to saying that it takes one second to 'ask' ten thousand cells to 'ask' all of them.

At this rate, the daylily is not just cold, it may have turned into a fossil.

Qianhe was also numb after hearing her husband's analysis.

Well, it seems that even if my son wants to become a battlefield, he may not be able to succeed.

What Lu Shuren said made sense. Qianhe was originally worried that her son would be hurt, but now when she heard that it was extremely difficult to find this cosmic bacteria, she suddenly felt that it would be better to become a battlefield. If she was injured, she could still recover, but if she couldn't find this cosmic bacteria, her son would be in a coma for life.

Life ends just as it begins?
With this comparison, it's okay to get hurt.

Qianhe was so anxious that she was running around in circles. She looked at Qianye Makoto, then at her husband, both of whom were deep in thought. It was obvious that this problem was very tricky. Her already red eyes were about to cry, but she forced herself to hold back the tears for fear of disturbing them. At this moment, she deeply hated herself for not knowing enough and not being able to help at all.

Chiba Makoto was wondering how Seven found the cosmic bacteria Dali in the human body. He vaguely remembered that it was the doctor of the Ultra Guard who used medical equipment to determine the location of the cosmic bacteria Dali.

The problem is, the size of the mature form of the cosmic bacteria Dali is only one millimeter, which is about the same thickness as a bank card. Such a small thing is not much bigger than the tip of a needle, so how can we determine its specific location?
You have to know that the human body is not a flat surface, but a three-dimensional structure with layers stacked on top of each other. In addition to cells, there are also impurities such as food residues and metabolic waste. Even if it is a scanning lens, how can it filter these things? I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out at all. It is beyond my cognition and can only be classified as black technology.

“I like fiber protein!”

Horii muttered to himself, then suddenly raised his head and said, "If we filter out the fibrin in the blood and only leave some in one place, can we attract the cosmic bacteria Dali?"

"This... is possible." Chiba Makoto didn't dare to say for sure. After all, his understanding of the cosmic bacteria Dali was also at the stage of 'talking on paper'. How could he guarantee anything when he didn't understand its habits?

"But if that's the case, the risk is too great."

The communicator in Ju Jianhui's hand has provided relevant information about the "strange" fibrin protein based on Ju Jianhui's knowledge, allowing Ju Jianhui to browse and understand it at a glance. Even if he doesn't master it, he knows what it is and what it is used for.

Simply put, fibrin acts like a needle and thread, sewing the platelets into a whole, thereby blocking the wound and preventing further bleeding.

This means that without fibrin, even a small wound will bleed profusely.

You know, there is a great possibility that Ji Meng's body will become a 'battlefield'. If the bleeding cannot be stopped, the internal bleeding alone will be enough to be fatal.

"I know, but we can't keep dragging it out like this." Horii said seriously, "This guy will reproduce. He has laid so many eggs in the 'stone'. Now that he has enough food, will he reproduce on a larger scale?"

"This"

The question raised by Horii made people feel depressed. Look at the densely packed "bubbles" on the scanning electron microscope. There is a "monster" in each one. There are so many of them, probably tens of thousands.

There is basically nothing in the stone, yet this cosmic bacteria Dali has been able to multiply so much. Now that it has entered the human body with sufficient food, it is breeding wildly. How many more will it multiply?
Just thinking about the possibility of densely packed monsters inside her son's body made Chizuru's heart tremble. How painful would that be, and how much of her son's blood would it absorb?

If one gives birth to thousands, then thousands can give birth to billions.

The reason why parasites are the most troublesome is that if they are given time, they can reproduce densely and even eat away the host. This is not uncommon in nature.

Even the parasites on Earth are like this, not to mention this cosmic bacterium Dali, which can control the host to find a new 'host'. If we don't deal with it quickly while the number of the other party is still small, and let it develop, I'm afraid the whole earth will be...
Although it was cruel, Chizuru painfully understood that this was no longer a matter concerning their family. To be more serious, it concerned all of humanity. Not to mention her, even Horii would not be able to control the situation when it became more serious. To put it in a darker way, sacrificing one or more people in exchange for the safety of the whole world was not impossible.

It won't hurt if the board doesn't hit you.

By the same logic, it is others who are destroyed and oneself who is safe. How many people will stand up and complain?
Time, time, time!

The most lacking thing is time!

Time always seemed to be plentiful in the past, but now it seems so scarce.

Research takes time, understanding takes time, but there is never enough time.

The most terrifying thing is that no one knows the reproduction cycle of this cosmic bacteria Dali. It is like a time bomb placed in a sealed box. No one knows when it will explode or how powerful it will be. We can only plan for the worst outcome.

The reproduction cycle of microorganisms is very short because their lifespan is very short.

Taking E. coli as an example, if we ignore other factors and only count the reproduction, it can divide once every 20 minutes, from one to two million in eight hours, and reach a billion in ten hours.

The structure of the cosmic bacteria Dali is complex, and its period must be longer than that of bacteria and viruses with simple structures, but how far can it grow with such a microscopic body?

Now, ten hours have passed since Ji Meng fell into a coma. This time is not very long in human terms, less than half a day. However, for the microscopic world, it is a very large scale.

Qianzuru's fingers turned white, her knuckles clasped tightly, her whole body trembling slightly due to the intense emotions in her heart. After a long time, she said in a hoarse voice: "Give it a try, it's better than now."

Horii, who was not good at expressing his emotions, held his wife in his arms tightly, tilted his head back, and tried hard to stop the tears from flowing.

If possible, he would not want to take risks, but time waits for no one.

He is a scientist. The more he knows, the more he realizes how dangerous it is.

Moreover, he could not only consider the safety of one person and ignore the world, even if that person was his son.

sacrifice
From the first monster to now, TPC has lost more than a hundred people.

Each of them is not a cold number, but a person with flesh and blood and warmth, with relatives and loved ones.

But even knowing these truths, Horii's heart was filled with pain. If it were him, he would not hesitate, even if it meant death, he would do it resolutely. But this is his child, and he has to make a decision, because if he doesn't make a decision, Chizuru will have to bear this heart-wrenching pain.

"Start getting ready!"

Horii spoke word by word, his chubby face full of determination, but his eyes were already red, tears were welling up in the corners of his eyes, and his arms were shaking uncontrollably, and even if he clenched his fists, it was of no use.

Preparation also takes time.

This is why Horii is so anxious. The fibrin in the blood is very small, only a few dozen nanometers, and it requires a special membrane to filter it without affecting other components in the blood.

In addition to filtering, we must also consider all unexpected events in the process and make relevant plans. We must also discuss where to place the bait to lure the cosmic bacteria Dali over and not to fight when the battlefield cannot be transferred. Even if the damage is serious, it will not endanger life, and at least no one will die on the spot.

As long as you are alive, there is hope.

TPC has advanced technology and medical equipment. Even if the person dies on the spot, as long as all organs do not collapse, given enough time, Horii can obtain all the substitutes and use equipment to replace organs to maintain vital signs, although this is just staying alive.

Although this is only the worst-case scenario, what if?
When it comes to monsters, there is never a foolproof answer and all aspects have to be taken into consideration.
