20 years into the future, the ILDD will aim to destroy viruses by disrupting the lysogenic cycle of the virus. The lysogenic cycle of the virus, one of the two reproductive cycles of a virus, involves the replication of a DNA molecule and the attachment of the virus to its host cell. The ILDD’s structure consists of an outer shell and the interior components. The outer shell would dissolve into the blood of the body 48 hours after the initial injection. The interior components contain two chambers and two retractable needles. The ILDD enters the bloodstream, the ILDD will attach to a specific virus using biomagnetism. Biomagnetism is that principle that states that many living things have a natural charge. Viruses, in particular, have a pH-dependent charge. This charge dictates the mobility of the virus and has a big role in process in which viruses attach to their host cell, viral entry. The ILDD, being set to a specific opposite charge in order to attract the virus, will eliminate this natural charge of the virus, making it hard for the virus to infect any host cells. This elimination of charge will prevent lysogenic cycle by making it extremely difficult for the virus to come into contact with its host cell. The ILDD will be prepacked with water or citric acid. Virus pH values fluctuate from about 3.5 to 7, so and acid and a base would be required to alter the charge in order to prevent the natural charge attraction between viruses and their would-be host cells.

The outer shell of the ILDD will dissolve into the bloodstream after 72 hours. After the outer shell dissolves, the inner component will dissolve into the bloodstream as well. Human blood contains significant amounts of water. Water is considered the universal solvent, so the water in the blood will be used to dissolve both parts of the
