Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 514 Epidemic Prevention Task Force

"All healthcare workers must be vaccinated against the mold before returning to work for two weeks."

"Prepare thickened protective clothing to isolate our medical staff from germs. Conduct comprehensive disinfection when entering and exiting the facility."

"The area where the plague broke out must enter a complete quarantine."

Zhang Zhu is a very experienced epidemic prevention worker. He immediately issued one order after another. He first listened to the London epidemic situation, then asked many questions, and even conducted some interviews, and finally designed his own epidemic prevention plan.

It's just that the vast majority of British doctors don't know what Zhang Zhu is talking about.

"Uh, what's a germ?"

Zhang Zhu explained: "You can understand it as the cause of the Black Death. This is a very small organism. If it enters the human body, it will cause human beings to get sick."

"Ah, is it a bug? This is terrible."

Leeuwenhoek did not start to observe the microscopic world with the lens he had ground out until 1674, and at this time, the Ming Dynasty even had its own microbiological research institute and biomedical center.Daming's leadership in medical technology is even greater than Daming's leadership in industrial technology.

One major type of talent Bai Mingxiu recruits from the system is medical talent.After all, the population death rate in this era is too high, so he spent a lot of time hardening the medical technology tree.Moreover, he was particularly willing to spend money in this area. Bai Mingxiu knew a lot about this aspect in his previous life, so when he had a route, he invested heavily in research, and the results were quite fruitful.While it may be difficult to develop a range of new drugs and treatments, at least a range of powerful drugs that will be familiar to future generations is now available.

Before Zhang Zhu came, he had been told by Bai Mingxiu that he could properly educate the medical workers in the UK.Because in Bai Mingxiu's cognition, although medicine is important, the capital of the nation and the country is still science and technology, and it doesn't matter if modern medicine is open.Add a little more foreign labor force for Ming to exploit, or add a little more foreign social conflicts.

"Okay, you come here every night, and I will give you some basic modern medical knowledge."

The mood of British doctors can be said to be different. Some people are disapproving, some are very excited, and some feel a little humiliated.If Ming's medicine is called modern medicine, then they are actually primitive medicine?

Afterwards, the Ming Dynasty Global Fleet left the UK for a visit to the Netherlands, but the anti-epidemic team still stayed in London for anti-epidemic work.

Londoners soon saw a group of guys who wrapped themselves up tightly and began to release rat poison and insecticide all over the city.

"Rats and fleas are important sources of infection for the spread of the Black Death. Killing rats and insects is a major national plan!"

All kinds of slogans began to hang on the street, and some people even came to the residential area to shout these things.

"Maintaining personal hygiene is an important way to prevent infectious diseases!"

The anti-epidemic task force even began to distribute cleaning tools such as soap to Londoners in the streets and alleys, and supervised people to take a bath and clean their living environment.Even on the streets, there were cleaning volunteers, and the whole of London became much cleaner in a short time.

Afterwards, Charles II took to the streets of London, saw the appearance of the city, and jokingly said to the people around him: "I should invite Zhang to be the mayor of our London, look at his governance, London has become much cleaner .”

Hyde even nodded, and said, "From Zhang's actions to control the London Plague, we can actually see a lot of ways. He educated our doctors, trained nurses, carried out regional governance, and appointed responsible persons in the community. People, and set up a set of written rules to follow, which reflects the attitude and habits of Ming people when doing things. If what he does is not to prevent the plague, but to do other things, such as conscription, such as tax, then I believe the effect must be just as good.”

Charles II didn't think about Hyde's words at all, but there were many people learning everything about the Ming Dynasty.

Hyde said: "Zhang will leave us a fortune, and we can directly take over the doctors and organizations he left behind to establish England's public health department, which will be good for the future prevention and control of diseases and health work in England. .”

Zhang Zhu's epidemic prevention team soon had a group of British officials who were not doctors but were observing.Zhang Zhu was aware of their appearance, but didn't say anything.

One month after Zhang Zhu started the prevention and treatment, the epidemic in London has been clearly brought under control, the new cases have almost stopped, and a group of early-detected patients have also recovered after treatment.The fear and gloom in the hearts of Londoners has gradually dissipated.

A large number of British doctors are eagerly learning the latest medical knowledge brought by Zhang Zhu and his colleagues. Through Doctor Daming, they fully understand the physiological structure of human beings, each organ, bacteria and viruses, and A lot of knowledge they had never heard of before.

When Zhang Zhu was about to leave London, he said to these doctors: "Okay, my mission in London is about to be completed. Next, I will go back to the Global Fleet and continue to be responsible for the health and safety of the compatriots in the fleet."

Someone said in great disappointment, "Mr. Zhang, but we haven't finished studying with you yet."

"Yes, teacher, your knowledge is so precious, we want to continue to learn from you."

Zhang Zhu smiled: "I'm not a great doctor anymore, and my knowledge is only limited. If you want to learn, you can go to Daming, where there is the best medical school in the world, and there are advanced Cutting-edge medical technology. After you have learned it, you can go back to your home country and pass on these things. There is nothing more satisfying than saving a life.”

Someone shed tears excitedly: "Zhang, you are really an incomparably great person, and the brilliance of your personality will be remembered by the world."

"No, I just did something insignificant. Whether it's a doctor or any other profession, everyone should do their job well and have a clear conscience. In Daming, there are tens of thousands of people like me. .”

Later, to commemorate Zhang Zhu, the British erected a statue for him in Hyde Park. Later generations of British medical workers regarded him as "the father of the enlightenment of modern British medicine".

It's just that the British at this time are all looking at the east, thinking and imagining what a great country it is, and so many incredible people and things have been born.
