Aztec Eternals Chapter 464

Remember [New] for a second,! An egret chirped "yoyo" and hovered above the sky. It stretched its long neck and observed the silent Twolegs in the valley. Two people are standing in the middle, looking at the sunset in the west. Dozens of people surrounded it, like mountains holding the sun.

Alyssa opened her eyes wide and watched the egret turn a few times. She leaned on her lover's shoulder and asked in a low voice worried.

"Shirot... The epidemic you said is so powerful. How should we deal with it?"

Shiloh stretched out his arm, hugged the delicate girl tightly, and gently massaged it for a while. Afterwards, he collected his thoughts and preached again.

"Epidemic Qi is different, and it affects all parts of the human body and causes different diseases. For example, headache, fever, cold, cough, bleeding, acne... Therefore, we need to identify specific symptoms and use targeted measures. way."

"For ordinary epidemic qi, as long as the body is strong, food is sufficient, and yang qi is abundant, it is enough to resist! The immune system of the human body will function to resist external invasion. This is the evil that prevails, although it is exposed to the epidemic qi and is infected , but there will be no serious disease. For example, in common diseases, malnourished old people and women are always seriously ill and will be the first to get sick. Young adults who are strong and well-fed are often mildly ill. Or eventually fall ill."

Hearing this, Alyssa nodded in understanding. In villages all over the world, the diet of young adults is always given priority, and their vitality is also the most abundant. Then she noticed her lover's words.

"Shirot, you said that there is a 'normal' plague, so is there a 'dangerous' plague?"

"Yes! Some epidemic gases are extremely poisonous and spread extremely rapidly, so they are extremely dangerous. As far as I know, there are as many as nine types. If any one of them spreads, it can cause tens of thousands of deaths. casualties!"

Xiuluo paused and sorted out his thoughts. Then, he ordered Naxiu.

"Naxiu, record my words below, they are very important!"

"Follow you!"

Naxiu bowed gracefully and picked up the pen and paper again.

"In the east of the world, far from the sea, there are nine extremely poisonous plagues. According to the degree of danger to the alliance, the first is typhoid fever, the second is smallpox, the third is plague, the fourth is measles, and the fifth is Cholera, sixth is diphtheria, seventh is mumps, eighth is malaria, ninth is yellow fever!”

"Um... Your Highness, how should you write these nine types of epidemic qi?"

Naxiu memorized half of it and raised her head in embarrassment. These diseases have not yet appeared in the Americas, and naturally there is no corresponding description.

"Give me the pen and paper, and I'll write it myself!"

Shirlot stretched out his hand and took the pen and paper. He tried to recall, first writing about typhoid fever, and then drawing a little man. The villain was holding his stomach for diarrhea, and the feces flowed into the river.

"Typhoid fever, the plague invades the intestines, symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, fever, bleeding. The mode of transmission is contact with feces and contaminated water..."

Then there was another little man, covered in tiny dots, lying motionless on the ground. The villain exhales in the air and flies into another neighboring villain.

"Smallpox, the epidemic air invades the whole body. The symptoms are rashes, pus, and festering all over the body. The mode of transmission is respiratory droplets, and contact with objects used by the other party..."

Later, the new villain had blackened limbs, which was unique to the Black Death, and there were mice and fleas around.

"Plague, the air of plague invades the lungs, with symptoms such as fever, chills, bleeding, and gangrene. The method of transmission is through rats and fleas, which spread the plague to all places..."

The fourth villain is also small.

"Measles, a disease that affects the chest and abdomen. The symptoms are red, flat rashes, and the way of transmission is breathing. Similar to smallpox, but the disease is slightly milder."

When the fifth villain was drawn, Xiuluo paused. He didn't know much about cholera, but for the next few hundred years, cholera should have been confined to India and not introduced to the Americas. After thinking for a while, he drew a little man with diarrhea and wrote roughly.

"Cholera, the epidemic gas invades the intestines, the symptoms are watery diarrhea, and the mode of transmission is also the contamination of water sources by the patient's feces..."

Next, the sixth villain has a big neck, and the seventh has a big mouth.

"Diphtheria, as the name suggests, is a disease that invades the neck, forming swellings and white patches, and is spread by breathing. Mumps, where the disease is on the cheeks, causing swelling, and spreading by breathing... Both diseases are killers for children! "

Shirot took a deep breath. He pondered for a while, and then drew another little man posing, with the words "hot and cold" next to it.

"Malaria, the virus attacks the liver and directly damages Ihotel. The symptoms are swinging, alternating cold and heat. It is transmitted through mosquito bites."

The last little man, with blood red eyes and tongue, was vomiting blood.

"Yellow fever, a disease that invades the lungs. Symptoms are fever, body aches, red tongue and red eyes. It's spread by mosquito bites."

Thinking of these two catastrophic diseases, Shiloh sighed lowly and warned seriously.

"Although malaria and yellow fever are the last, their damage to the human body is not weaker than that of the first seven, or even more powerful! It's just that they rely on mosquitoes to spread and are limited by terrain. Invade the Mexica Plateau, where the Alliance is located."

Sherlot turned around and looked deeply towards the south.

As long as Pandora's box is opened, Anopheles and Aedes mosquitoes from Africa are introduced to America, and Plasmodium and yellow fever virus will take root in the tropical rainforest permanently. All the rainforest inhabitants in the Americas will always endure the test of the epidemic. This is a natural disaster that no one can change! The only luck among the misfortunes is that both Anopheles and Aedes do not like the climate of the tropical plateau, which poses little threat to the heart of the alliance.

"In the far east, there are nine dangerous epidemics!"

Alyssa muttered to herself, worry in her eyes. She took her lover's arm tightly, her voice anxious.

"Shirot, are there other dangerous epidemics? If these extremely poisonous epidemics are introduced into the alliance, what should we do..."

"The essence of epidemic qi is tiny life. There are thousands of lives, and there are naturally far more than nine types of dangerous epidemic qi in the world! However, it is these nine types that we need to worry about right now."

Shirot smiled slightly, comforting his lover.

"Alyssa, the reason why I asked you to come and be in charge of the kingdom's medicine is that I want to take the prevention of epidemics as the most important thing! The main thing of the country is to prevent the plague. You don't have to worry too much. Epidemic qi, I also have the inspiration of the gods, the way to deal with it!"

After saying that, Shiloh frowned and thought about it for a while.

According to the type of plague pathogens, these infectious diseases can be divided into two categories: bacteria and viruses. Bacteria include typhoid, plague, cholera, diphtheria, and malaria; viruses include smallpox, measles, mumps, and yellow fever.

For bacterial diseases, the best way to deal with it is naturally antibiotics. Only in this era, due to inefficient culture technology, lack of purification technology, and insufficient observation accuracy, it is absolutely impossible to produce high-concentration antibiotics. However, low-concentration penicillin solutions can be tried to be prepared. This is not for antibacterial practicality, but for cultivating strains from generation to generation.

In order to obtain real and effective penicillin, the Penicillium population must be screened in a long-term direction. Because Penicillium often secretes both antibacterial and nontoxic penicillin and antibacterial and toxic patulin. Whether crude penicillin is curative or deadly depends on luck. If the non-toxic penicillin is mixed with an excessively high proportion of patulin, it is a poison that can kill people in minutes!

Trial production of usable penicillin does not require much manpower, but it takes an extremely long time. Historically, after Fleming discovered penicillin, Penicillium was cultivated for about ten years. He screened under the microscope from generation to generation, and then he got the penicillin flora that can be used together, which provided the population basis for the large-scale industrial production of penicillin.

"The first task. Naxiu, arrange a few capable people to collect different kinds of Penicillium from rotten grains and fruits. Then, use the sweeter fruit juice to cultivate Penicillium. The amount of Penicillium accumulated to a certain amount. After the level, add the oil and stir. Pour out the lower water layer and absorb it with charcoal powder. Then..."

Speaking of which, Shulot got stuck for a while. He knew that penicillin was soluble in water and absorbed by charcoal powder. Next, what is used for further extraction? ... The young man is not sure, after thinking about it, he vaguely ordered.

"...Then, wash the charcoal powder with pure boiled water, acidic hot spring water, and alkaline plant ash water, and then evaporate the water to dry and crystallize, test the antibacterial properties with rotten meat, and then test with small animals Toxicity...Retain the bacteria with high antibacterial and low toxicity, and cultivate again..."

"...???Your Highness... Your Highness?"

Hearing this, Naxiu's red lips parted slightly, her eyes turned completely blank, as if she had been played badly...

"cough!"

Shilot coughed lightly, thought for a while, and said again.

"When you are free, you can come to me alone. I will take you to do it together... Then choose a few patient and careful female workers, repeat these tasks over and over again, and do it for... ten or twenty years. !"

"Ten or twenty years?"

Alyssa's eyes widened, a little incredible.

"Yeah! This is a very slow job, and success depends on the gift of the **** of fate. It will always take ten or twenty years to achieve preliminary results. If Lozano can burn pure glass, It can be much faster.”

After Shirot finished speaking, he smiled, and his eyes showed yearning. If you can get qualified penicillin within a few decades, that is really a gift from the goddess of fate! After a while, he retracted his mind and ordered again in a low voice.

"The second task is to sort out the various medicines of the alliance, test their ability to treat common epidemics, and write down them for backup. For example, tobacco can treat colds, and black feather jade can treat inflammation in the body...they are both It has a certain anti-epidemic and sterilizing effect! There are more than 800 kinds of medicinal materials in the inheritance of the priests of the alliance, most of which are herbal medicines, which need to be studied and sorted out in detail."

"Follow you, Your Highness!"

Naxiu nodded solemnly. Sorting out all the medicines and recording them in a book is a complicated and sensitive project. Fortunately, the priests shouldn't have too many obstacles for His Highness's sake.

Central and South America is isolated from Eurasia, there are all kinds of magical plants, and herbalism is very prosperous. Among thousands of plants, there will always be medicines that can deal with various infectious diseases. It just requires systematic exploration and sorting. Historically, it was also the indigenous witch doctor in South America who first discovered that the bark of the cinchona tree was effective against malaria.

"Um... Cinchona... We need to start exploring the sea as soon as possible and go to the Inca!"

Sherlot took it down in his heart. Then, with a serious expression, he commanded seriously.

"The third task is to write the first edition of the priest's manual for dealing with epidemic air!... The epidemic air grows in patients and can quickly spread to others, or flow into rivers and lakes. Therefore, when encountering an epidemic, you must first Patients are treated and isolated, and their feces are strictly buried. As for other people, no matter how close they are, they should avoid contact with patients, drink boiled water, and kill mosquitoes and mice that contagious diseases. Clothes of the patient. Send out samurai, cover the mouth and nose with a muslin cloth, and seal off the affected area. Even, if necessary, take decisive measures! …”

Hearing the decisive method, Naxiu's expression froze, and she seemed to see boundless blood and fire in front of her eyes. She bowed her head and answered respectfully.

"Your Highness, your will is a mortal life!"

Xiulote nodded calmly, his face calm. He will take the time to complete the epidemic prevention manual in detail according to the common sense of later generations, and prepare the priests in advance. Then, he turned around, thinking that the hot springs he had enjoyed for the past two days had a certain bactericidal effect.

"Fourth business, reserve enough sulphur. Mix plant ash and oil, and add sulphur powder to make sulphur soap... Use it to wash clothes or skin, and it can be a powerful germicidal agent."

The advantage of the frequent occurrence of volcanoes in Central America is that there will be many sulfur minerals, which can obtain powerful fungicides. And in places where germs breed, burning sulphur powder; in lakes where mosquitoes breed, pouring sulphur... can weaken the spread of some epidemics.

As night fell, the sky was shrouded in darkness. The Guardsmen lit bonfires and lighted the valleys in the forest. Shilot was lost in thought. For bacterial plagues, a variety of symptomatic herbs are the key to treatment. The Chinese medicine of this era has a relatively mature response to the treatment of typhoid fever and malaria. Houttuynia cordata decoction is used for typhoid fever, and Qinghao prescription is used for malaria, both of which are inherited from previous medical books.

"It would be great if you could go across the sea to the west... From the Ming Dynasty, to obtain medical inheritance, and to obtain various herbs such as Houttuynia cordata and Qinghao!"

Shirote thought for a long time and shook his head gently. If you want to cross the sea to the west, you must have European voyage technology. And once the Europeans came, they would inevitably bring plagues. At this critical juncture, the American civilization did not have much time, and it was always urgent... After a while, he came back to his senses and thought about the response to virus-like plagues again.

Viral infectious diseases, including smallpox, measles, mumps, yellow fever. The most important thing to watch out for is, of course, smallpox. By this time, the smallpox virus had been raging across Europe for years, causing countless deaths. The first serious infectious disease brought by the colonists was bound to be smallpox.

"How to deal with smallpox? ... Then of course it is vaccination."

Xiulote thought of a novel about the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The protagonist started his life by vaccination, and the method is not complicated.

In this era, the technology that has appeared in the southern part of the Celestial Dynasty is human acne. The commonly used method of human acne is divided into dry seedling method and water seedling method. The so-called dry seedling is to grind the pox scabs from the recovered smallpox patients into powder, and then blow them into the nostrils of the inoculated person with a silver tube. The so-called water seedling is to grind the pox scab into powder, then add water to adjust the humidity, wrap it with cotton **** and stuff it into the nasal cavity.

In essence, human pox is the attenuated smallpox virus obtained from recovering smallpox patients, and then transmitted to unvaccinated people, making them suffer from smallpox. Once a smallpox patient recovers, they will never get it again for life. The resistance obtained from the attenuated virus can also defend against the unattenuated virus.

The further development of the human pox method is to use repeatedly inoculated pox scabs as a vaccine. It is equivalent to targeted screening, and continuously obtains less virulent variola virus. The least virulent is the variola virus's close relative, the vaccinia virus. But this requires not only Eurasian cattle, but also cattle that just happen to have pox.

"The longer the seedlings are passed on, the clearer the medicinal power will be, and the more mature the artificial selection will be. The fire poison will be eliminated, and the essence will remain alone, so it is safe and harmless..."

Likewise, vaccination can be used for measles. As for mumps and yellow fever, Shilot doesn't know much, and there is no clear solution.

"The fifth task is to choose a small offshore island far away from human beings and establish a secret medical center. Study the epidemic gas, trial production... Human pox and cowpox... Forget it, the alliance has no sea outlet in the East China Sea. Item is just preparation, not in a hurry for the time being."

After half of the order, Shirot retracted his words. Then, he smiled relievedly and said aloud.

"Okay, that's it for today's teaching! Prepare for the barbecue, and we'll be camping by the spring."

Alyssa blinked. She hugged her lover tightly, felt the powerful heartbeat of the other party, and also felt the strong self-confidence and will of the man. Inexplicably, the soft girl felt a little hot. She looked up at the sky, the clouds covered the moon, and soon there would be an autumn rain that would soak the deep earth.

"Shirot... After the barbecue... let's eat avocado!"

The girl exhaled like blue, blowing in her lover's ear, making him feel like an electric shock.

"I brought some avocados... According to what you said~www.mtlnovel.com~ can promote the secretion of hormones, and the deer... The night is long, let's try it together and explore some new ones ...ceremony..."

"what?..."

Shirot's body became hot, and a flame ignited in his heart. He looked at his charming lover, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely.

"I just don't eat avocados...and I can eat you..."

"Well, really? I don't believe it...hehe."

Seeing this scene, Naxiu raised her eyebrows. She sighed helplessly, made a few gestures, and the warriors dispersed again.

It didn't take long for the autumn rain to fall from the sky with bursts of thunder. And listening to the continuous thunder, the cold female warrior was hot all over and her feet were weak. She looked down and saw that the earth had been soaked with rain, soft and wet.

Happy days are always busy and short. The rainy season has come to an end, the clouds have been sucked up by the rain, and the thunder can't last long. A few days later, a group of messengers came from afar, bringing the latest report from the western kingdom.

The wind rises from the end of Qingping, and the waves form between the waves. The autumn harvest in the world has ended, and the wind and waves of war are about to sweep the East!
