Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

"Ivan, what are you doing?" Char, who witnessed everything, walked in and asked.

"Viral reagent." Ivan pointed to more test tubes filled with clear liquid on the table beside him and said, "He is in the final stage of infection. We have to get rid of him."

"Also, it's stupid not to take precautions," Ivan added.

After saying that, he took two steps back. The two mechanical servants around him came forward, holding sprays in their hands and sprayed Char from head to toe.

"Have you made any progress?" Char asked after waving his hand to disperse the foul-smelling atomized medicine.

Ivan clearly had no interest in answering this question, but he couldn't ignore Char either, so he took out an analysis report and threw it to Char for him to read.

The report, nearly the size of a book, was so voluminous that Char took a glance at it, feeling overwhelmed. It was filled with technical terms and numerous illustrations and photos, some showing the anatomy of an infected person's brain, others the microscopic structure of the virus. If Char were to read it carefully, it would take at least ten hours, and he might not even understand it.

"As a non-professional, you can only read the bookmarked parts." Ivan reminded again.

Char turned to the first yellow bookmark, which contained a summary of the previous part of the bookmark.

This part records the evolution of the plague virus. It clearly states that the plague virus began to spread a long time ago, but in the early stages of transmission, the virus was very harmful and difficult to detect. Most patients only showed symptoms of distraction and unconsciousness.

When these viruses infect enough patients, they mutate simultaneously and become virulent viruses that can quickly kill people.

This mutated, virulent virus exploits the host's own protein-coding machinery to replicate itself, preferentially breaking through the blood-brain barrier and infecting the host's brain. Simultaneously, the disrupted protein compiler begins to randomly compile proteins, ultimately manifesting in the host's body as severe limb hyperplasia and mutations.

During the process of protein replication, the law of conservation of mass sometimes occurs. A person weighing 80 kilograms can increase his weight several times through proliferation and mutation without taking in any additional nutrients.

Accompanying the text were two black-and-white photos. The first one showed a man with his limbs nailed to a wooden board. His belly was swollen like a ball and seemed like it would burst at any time.

In the second photo, the man's stomach was indeed burst, and large lumps of mucus-covered internal organs and strange growths were all over the floor. In both photos, the patient had a hazy and happy smile on his face.

The second bookmark summarizes the mutation process after the patient is infected, and the mutation is divided into three stages in total.

The first stage is when the blood-brain barrier is breached and the brain is infected. At this stage, the infected person will gradually lose self-awareness and become a puppet who can't control his facial emotions and can only smile foolishly.

In the second stage, pustules will grow on the infected person's body, and the pustules are filled with newly replicated viruses. The infected people at this stage are the most vulnerable. The virus destroys their original body tissues, so they will temporarily lose their ability to move.

In the third stage, the virus will replace the previously damaged body tissues, and the infected person will regain the ability to move, but at this time the infected person's brain will also be completely corroded, turning him into a true zombie.

The second stage of infection sometimes occurs simultaneously with the third stage, but the third stage does not appear before the second stage.

This part also has an illustration, which is a cross-sectional image of a human brain. The normal human brain imaging is grayish white, but in this imaging, there are dense holes like cheese inside the brain, and there seem to be hyphae-like things growing in the holes.

The content of the third part of the bookmark was much simpler. It summarized the types and effects of the drugs Ivan tried to use to fight the virus. However, Char could see that very few drugs were effective.

Before he finished the fourth part, Char turned to the end of the report, where he saw a pencil sketch of the state religion's symbol.

"I can't understand what this symbol means," said Char.

Ivan, who was busy analyzing the lab equipment, answered without even looking up: "There's something beyond material existence behind this plague, so I allowed that charlatan to walk around here."

This was originally Francis' church, but from Ivan's tone, he seemed to have tacitly accepted this as his territory.

This was also an important reason why the three of them gradually became estranged. Although Ivan was talented, he was unbearably aloof and arrogant. Only when facing Arabelle and Lyanna would he slightly restrain his personality.

But everyone has to admit that Ivan's talent is matched by his arrogance.

Francis, who was praying for the infected, must have heard what Ivan said, but Francis, the owner of the church, didn't say anything, so Char could only pretend not to hear. Then he took off the box he was carrying and placed it in front of Ivan.

"You're right. This plague, which goes beyond common sense, requires an antidote that goes beyond common sense."

Unexpectedly, Ivan's reaction to Char's words was very cold. He simply stood up, glanced at the box, and said, "There's a 97% chance that the contents here are pancakes made by Howard."

Char nodded: "That's right."

"Let's first determine the effective dosage and specific therapeutic effect." Ivan said, as if he had confirmed that these pancakes would be effective.

Because in Ivan's view, the plague is a strange thing that transcends material existence, and the pancakes made by Howard also have some properties that transcend material existence, so logically speaking, the possibility of a reaction between the pancake fruit and the virus is greater than the possibility of a reaction between other things and the virus.

So Ivan took out a pancake and came to a patient who was in the first stage of infection.

First, he cut off five grams of the pancake and fed it to the infected person.

no response.

Ten grams.

no response.

Twenty grams.

The infected person began to cry, shedding gray-green tears, and after he finished crying, his originally gray-green pupils returned to clarity.

Ivan drew a tube of blood from the patient, injected it into the virus reagent and shook it. The blood and the transparent reagent were fully mixed and no color change occurred.

This is a sign that the infection is clearing up.

"God Emperor." Francis on the side couldn't help but admire.

But Ivan was not excited about this achievement. He took the pancake and came to the second first-level infected person.

Consume 15 grams of Jianbing Guozi.

no response.

Consume 19 grams of Jianbing Guozi.

no response.

Consume 20 grams of Jianbing Guozi.

The infected began to cry.

Blood test, no change in reagent color.

Then Ivan came to the third stage one infected person.

Consume 20 grams of Jianbing Guozi.

The infected began to cry.

Blood test, no change in reagent color.

The fourth person infected in stage one.

The amount of pancake consumed: 40 grams.

Result: The infected person started to cry, and after crying stopped, the gray-green color of the pupil faded. Blood was drawn for test, and the color of the test reagent did not change.

Preliminary conclusion: To cure a first-degree infection, one needs to consume more than 20 grams of Jianbingguozi at least once.
