Chapter 706 Professor's Research

Seeing the old man's impatience, Gordon took out the large bag of dragon-eating insects.

Looking at the dense pile of broken or complete insect corpses, the professor couldn't help but sigh, "This is the first time I have seen such a large number of dragon-eating insects appearing at one time."

Next to him, Alva frowned, looking like he was in pain.

As a scholar who studies biology, he also has a collection of rare insects such as dragon-eating insects.

It cost him a lot of savings to buy it. It is a kind of specimen that has been carefully dried and stored in a brocade box full of soft cushions. He takes it out every day to look at it carefully for fear of getting damaged.

What you are carrying in the linen bag may look like a big bag of fallen leaves at first glance.

"How about you leave it to me to sort and process it?" Alva took the initiative, holding the basin of internal organs: "The broken ones need to be separated from the complete ones, and they also need to be dried and preserved."

"I'm here to help." The assistant lady put down the form used to record the data in her hand and walked over with interest. "After the sorting is completed, can I trade two complete ones for me?"

Gordon agreed readily. They brought back a lot of dragon-eating insects this time, no less than one or two.

Alva and his assistant poured the dragon-eating insects into a large dustpan and prepared to take them to a brightly lit outdoor place to complete the initial sorting.

Compared with the two people who were careful and gentle, the professor looked much more casual. He casually grabbed a handful of finely chopped insect corpses, threw them into the medicine twister, and started grinding them.

Gordon pulled up a chair and sat down next to the professor.

While observing the professor's movements curiously, he asked about the research on the mad dragon virus.

"In the living biological specimens brought back by Hayata and his colleagues, we found that the rabies virus and spores were more active. Our previous guesses should be correct.

Nowadays, the dragon virus spreading in Sky Mountain is not an ordinary black dragon, but most likely the so-called Tianyu Dragon.

Of course, this is just a guess based on existing conditions and findings and cannot be used as a conclusion. "

"Sure enough, there is a Celestial Dragon." Gordon muttered to himself.

He selectively ignored the professor's last sentence. Scholars pursue academic rigor, but he is not a scholar.

In his opinion, as long as this guess is logically consistent and consistent with the information currently available, it can probably be regarded as that.

"So, if the virus and spores are more active, will it affect the effectiveness of the inhibitory medicine and anti-dragon stone?" Gordon asked the question that he was really concerned about.

I just hope that the professor will not give him the worst conclusion that "the anti-dragon stone is useless, and the war against the prison wolf dragon was in vain."

The professor paused his movements, put down the roller, pushed up his glasses and said, "The impact is there. In areas with a high concentration of the Mad Dragon virus, such as around large infected monsters, the effect of the inhibitory agent is significantly reduced.

Except for the non-infected Ansil, Hayata and everyone else in the Pen Head Hunting Group raised this point. "

Such an answer made Gordon's face look ugly.

The professor comforted him: "But you don't have to worry too much. The so-called decline in drug efficacy is not a failure, but there are signs of 'revival' of the Mad Dragon virus that should have been completely inactivated in the infected person's body.

The specific manifestations include increased aggression, easy irritability, etc., which are very similar to the early symptoms of typhoid infection.

Those with a strong will can suppress these emotional impulses with reason, and as long as they leave the area covered by the Mad Dragon Virus, the virus in their bodies will become silent again. "

Having said this, the professor paused, glanced at Gordon and said meaningfully: "A certain guy who is particularly adaptable to the Mad Dragon virus even deliberately lifted the restrictions during hunting and played the 'overcoming' enhancement again. That set.

It was also called "extreme".

To be honest, I definitely do not advocate this approach when it is not completely certain whether it will leave any sequelae. "

Gordon smiled dryly and asked, "Is it that guy Julius?"

"no."

"Is it Nadia or Senior Will?"

"no."

"Okay, I'll teach her a lesson later."

The professor was silent for a few seconds and sighed: "Actually, I can understand the child's choice at that time. The dragon she faced has entered the final stage of infection.

If there was no way to kill him as soon as possible, it might take a few minutes, a few hours, or at most a few days before the Black Erosion Dragon would break out of its cocoon. "

"Has the epidemic in Sky Mountain reached this point?" Gordon frowned.

"You can't say that. It's just that the Honglong dragon is the most infected. It may even be one of the first infected people. It's lucky for Hayata to be able to encounter and solve it in time.

Judging from the monster tissue samples brought back by several other people, in addition to the Thunder Wolf Dragon that Hayata hunted, the Thunder Wolf Dragon that Julius dealt with was also deeply infected.

The heavy beetles that Will and the others hunted were less infected, maybe because the beetle species were not very compatible with the rabies virus?

The fire dragon that Ancil killed was not even infected with the disease, and his death was somewhat unjust.

All in all, the large monsters that could 'hatch' the black dragon in the Sky Mountain area have been eliminated, and the remaining infected bodies are being eliminated in an orderly manner. The remaining problems are basically concentrated on the 'source'. "

Gordon nodded, and was about to say something when he suddenly realized that the topic was a bit skewed, and quickly returned to the original question, "Professor, you just said that the effect of the inhibitory drug has been weakened.

So what about the Dragon Resistance Stone? Will Dragon Resistance Stones be affected as well? "

To be honest, if the anti-dragon stone cannot achieve the expected effect, it will be too difficult to solve the source of the mad dragon disease, and the best result is to perish together.

The professor's serious face showed a hint of smile, "From the current situation, no, we used the semi-finished anti-dragon stone and the live infected samples brought back by Hayata to conduct experiments.

From the experimental results, the inactivation effect of the anti-dragon stone on the mad dragon virus released by the black erosion dragon and the highly active virus currently covering Sky Mountain is basically the same."

"Actually?" Gordon was surprised, "No effect at all?"

"Well, the inhibitor and the anti-dragon stone are two different concepts, and the mechanism of action is completely different."

The professor continued to grind the fragments of the erosion dragon insects, explaining: "This description may not be accurate, but you can understand it this way.

The inhibitor can be understood as a kind of vaccine. Its function is to silence the mad dragon virus and spores, just like when they are not activated in the black erosion dragon.

And the anti-dragon stone can be regarded as a radiation source. Just like ice will gradually melt when it approaches a flame, the dragon attribute energy emitted by the anti-dragon stone will gradually kill the mad dragon virus."

"It sounds like it's been roasted, meow." Pork Chop muttered on the side.

Gordon followed up on what Pork Chop said and asked, "Will being 'roasted' by dragon energy for such a long time have any adverse effects on the body?"

"Basically not." The professor looked Gordon up and down, "Even if there is an effect, it is far less than the equipment on you. It's like the difference between a match and a fire.

By the way, I heard from Hayata that you were also splashed with the blood of a monster infected with mad dragon disease before, but there was no sign of infection at all. It should be the credit of this set of armor on you."

Gordon couldn't help but recall the scene when the blood of the peach-haired beast king splashed on him, and the dragon energy flames rose up.

So it was because of this?
