Every day is one step closer to reality

Professor Shen is also a member of this task force. He studies sea snakes. Feng Yi has read his papers. The most recent paper is about the unique anti-inflammatory active peptides in the venom of Qinghuan sea snakes. Feng Yi couldn't quite understand it, so he could only take a rough look.

Hearing that Professor Shen had been bitten by a sea snake, Feng Yi and Xiao Cui, who were standing at the door of the station, quickly moved out of the way, not to block the way if they couldn't help. What matters at this time is time.

Professor Shen seemed to be in good condition now. Several of his students and assistants were sent to him. Although they were in a hurry, they acted in an orderly manner.

When Professor Shen entered the treatment room inside the station, his students and assistants stayed outside and calmed down.

A student wiped his sweat, smiled and took a long breath when he saw Feng and Yi standing not far away.

Xiao Cui comforted him: "Don't worry, it's common to get bitten in this business. Feng Yi and I have both been bitten. Moreover, treatment has started now. It seems that his condition just now is not bad. He has used anti-venom serum and treatment drugs. It will be fine soon. I also sent new anti-venom serum, and the amount is sufficient."

The student responded, "Ah, I know there is serum here, but the incident happened suddenly, I was frightened, and I was worried that I wouldn't be able to catch up."

"What kind of snake is it?" Xiao Cui asked.

"Green sea snake."

"Well, that's okay. The areas where sea snakes live here will have countermeasures, not to mention the dominant species like the Green Ring Sea Snake. As long as they are treated in time, they will be fine," Xiao Cui said.

"Yes, luckily it was in time!" Slowing down, the student shared their experience today, "We ran a little farther south along the coast today, but we still didn't find any trace of the sea snake. We were planning to return empty-handed." The teacher also said , if you can’t find it again today, then apply for trapping at night.

"Who would have thought that on the way back, I suddenly saw a snake swimming on the sea! Wow, everyone was so excited at the time that they wanted to jump into the water and catch it!"

At that time, they all thought that they were so lucky today!

In the sea, compared to the time a sea snake lives underwater, the time it spends floating on the surface is very short.

Several members of their group dived without finding any sea snakes. Unexpectedly, they encountered one on the sea surface on the way back.

"We took the net to catch it. Aren't we all excited? It happened suddenly, we were in a hurry, and something went wrong. When we saw the sea snake fished out of the water, it almost slipped into the water. The teacher was so anxious that he reached out to catch it. then……"

was bitten.

The student gave them a "you know what" look.

"The teacher didn't let go!"

"Caught it? Where's the snake?" Xiao Cui asked.

Several students fell silent.

Right, where's the snake?

Just now, I was only focused on sending Professor Shen over, and didn't care about anything else.

"Forgot the boat?"

"Here it is." A young man came over carrying a plastic bucket.

Feng Yi looked over.

The person who came was Zuo Di from the monitoring station, carrying a large white plastic bucket with a lid in his hand.

Passing the bucket to a student, Zuo Di said: "If you want to ensure that this snake is alive, move it to another place as soon as possible. It is not good to keep it in this bucket."

"There is a special water tank for holding sea snakes. It is still in the car. I will move it over. The teacher in the laboratory also specially modified a seawater tank. I will transfer it to a larger tank when I return."

Things were done in a hurry at that time, and everyone's attention was on Professor Shen, so there was no time to divert the snake.

After a while, the student dragged a water tank over on a small trailer.

"Come on, who's going to catch you?"

"Why don't you just pour it into the tank?"

"There are debris in the bucket. Pour it in too?"

"Use tools, I'll get them."

Watching the students' discussion, Zuo Di said: "It is said that sea snakes are only dragons when they are in the water, and they turn into insects when they go ashore, so we should not be afraid of them like this."

"Do you want to try this 'worm'?" the student said.

Zuo Di quickly took a step back and said, "Forget it, you guys should do it. I'm not good at this. Leave professional matters to professionals."

Xiao Cui wanted to say, "I'll catch him," but when he saw Feng Yi next to him, he said, "How about you come, expert Feng?"

The others also came to their senses at this time. That's right, Feng Yi, an expert, was so good at catching snakes that people ignored his weak theoretical knowledge, so he made an exception and was included in the expert committee of the UN Security Bureau.

If there are experts around, then of course we should ask the experts to take action.

"Okay." Feng Yi wiped his hands.

He took the bucket, opened the lid, and refused the tool that was handed to him.

The student next to him reminded: "Be careful! It is very irritable and aggressive now..."

Halfway through the words, Feng Yi had already pinched the snake.

Two fingers held the snake's head firmly, as casually as pinching a spicy stick.

other people:? ? ?

Is this a master? !

"Where to put the snake? Just put it in the tank like this?" Feng Yi asked.

"Uh... I'm sorry, wait a minute, I'll adjust the water tank again," one student said.

Feng Yi held the snake's body with one hand, and released the snake's head with the other hand, letting the snake's head rest on his fingers.

"The temperament is indeed very docile." Feng Yi said.

Zuo Di looked at the closed treatment room, and then at the piece of paper in Feng Yi's hand that was so quiet and harmless.

Why don't I believe it? !

It was clear that this snake was getting angry just now!

A student said: "Many people have told me before that most of these sea snakes are docile, but I never believed it. I have seen them hunting, and I have seen with my own eyes the fierceness with which they pull snake eels out of the sand and swallow them. I always felt that it had nothing to do with my temper. But now I believe it."

"Much more docile than many land snakes." Feng Yi said.

Feng Yi looked at the snake in his hand. This one was not long, only about one meter. Compared with the big ones he had caught, it was indeed small.

The mouth is not very big either.

If it weren't for the inconvenience, Feng Yi would have liked to see its teeth.

Compared with land snakes, sea snakes have weak abdominal scales, so they cannot move flexibly on land.

Zuo Di, who had been watching Feng Yi catch the snake, said: "So this is how you catch snakes! It feels like it's easy, I still have to learn more."

"Don't!" Feng Yi stopped him, "I have my own way of catching snakes and how to deal with them, and I can guarantee that even if it suddenly gets aggressive, it won't be able to bite me. Don't imitate it!"

Looking at the sea snake in his hand, Feng Yi frowned, "Is this really the Green Ring Sea Snake you are talking about?"

"That's right," said Zuo Di, "that's what it looks like."

"I don't think so. Or, not entirely." The snake smell that Feng Yi smelled on the first day he came here was different from the one on his hand. In addition, he had seen several sea snake samples at the Yangcheng Joint Security Bureau branch. , that is the dried snake seized by the Federal Security Bureau.

There is indeed a difference between a living snake and a dried snake, but Feng Yi can tell whether they are the same kind of snake.

"In addition to catching snakes, my identification ability is also good. I have seen a sample of the Green Sea Snake at the Bureau of Environmental Protection, but I am sure that the one I caught now is different. Either the snakes at the Bureau of Insurance were labeled incorrectly. Or... everyone has recognized this snake wrongly!"

What are the chances that the FBI will make a mistake?

Xiao Cui got closer and looked at it carefully.

Even if the main target of his research is not the Green Ring Sea Snake, he still has a certain understanding of the Green Ring and has seen a lot.

"The background color is a little darker, and the pattern on the head is wrong."

To this end, Xiao Cui went to the station's herbarium to take photos. There were not only specimens but also pictures.

Get them together to compare.

"It's different! The markings on the body are different if you look closely!" Xiao Cui said, "However, the immune coverage of the anti-venom serum should also be effective..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the treatment room opened, and the people inside hurriedly pushed Professor Shen out.

"Get out of the way! Everyone, stay out of the way!"

Webmaster Yan looked solemn and arranged for Professor Shen to be sent to the hospital.

After making a phone call, his eyes swept across the people present and fell on the sea snake Feng Yi was holding. His expression was confused, "Is this snake really biting Lao Shen?"

"Yes, we all saw it. But just now, Feng Yi and this... gentleman said that this is not a green sea snake."

Hearing this, Webmaster Yan looked even more ugly.

"The treatment effect is not very good?" Xiao Cui asked.

Stationmaster Yan nodded.

Sea snake venom is a mixture of neurotoxins, various enzymes and small molecule substances. The poisoning reaction is caused by the combined action of these mixed components in the venom.

The unknown species of sea snake does not know the composition of its venom. We only know that it is very toxic and cannot be covered by the prepared serum immunity. This situation is quite dangerous.

Seeing everyone's concerns, Webmaster Yan reassured: "I have reported it to the above. The Joint Security Bureau has dedicated personnel to take charge of this kind of situation. They will look for more effective drugs through some channels."

A student said nervously: "I heard... I heard Teacher Shen say that the core laboratory of the Ancestral Factory is researching... broad-spectrum antivenom drugs. There have been similar critical situations before, and they have been rescued. Can you..."

Webmaster Yan raised his hand to stop the other party's words, "People from the Joint Security Bureau will know how to choose the best solution."

He also knew that this kind of drug existed, and the lives of people who had to take the drug before were indeed saved, but the treatment process also had many side effects.

Xiao Cui murmured: "Is there really a broad-spectrum anti-snake venom? I don't think so..."

Stationmaster Yan gave him a warning look.

Regardless of whether it's reliable or not, don't be mean at this time, these students' faces turned pale with fright.

The only person present who was relatively calm was Feng Yi, who was holding the snake.

"Don't let this snake get away!"

The preparation of anti-venom serum takes a long time, and it is too late to make a targeted serum now, but if we can save Lao Shen's life first, we can then start with the venom of this snake to study treatment options. But the premise is that there is enough time.

"Okay, don't all stand around here, let's disperse."

After speaking, Stationmaster Yan left in a hurry.

Professor Shen's students left two people watching the snake, and the others followed. They couldn't stay here and went to the hospital to see the situation.

Xiao Cui took a photo of the snake on Feng Yi's hand with his mobile phone and left.

Feng Yi put the snake in his hand into the water tank, wiped his hands, returned to the dormitory, and sent a message to Xiao Geng at the Ancestor Factory.

I don’t know what stage their anti-venom drugs are currently in research.

Feng Yi's venom and serum were given to the core laboratory. The last time I asked, they said they had breakthrough results.

If people from the Federal Security Bureau get the medicine, it should have some effect, right?

The pigeon is late at ten o'clock, so I can catch up before zero o'clock.

See you tomorrow.
