Daming One Piece

Chapter 126 Smallpox
Seeing the way the big guys look at themselves has changed, some people even look like they can't wait to eat their bones.

Zheng Yiguan was really scared now.

How could it be possible not to be afraid?Now he has committed public outrage.Maybe he will be beaten to death with fists by everyone.

Among these people, only the chief executive in front of him can save his life. He is the chief executive, so he can't kill people casually.

Waving his hands again and again, Zheng Yiguan looked at Shi Yiwen eagerly.

Want to grab this life-saving straw.

What is betrayal?

Zheng Yiguan didn't know, but what was certain was that even his most trusted confidant would want to kill him now.

Everyone in the room glared at him, no one would believe what Zheng Yiguan said now, there are many people now, but they even want to kill him.

"Believe it or not, it doesn't matter!"

Shi Yiwen shook his head.

"The important thing is that now, if the epidemic spreads, not only the people in this room will die. By then, how many living people will be left in Beigang?"

Staring at Zheng Yiguan, Shi Yiwen didn't believe that he did it on purpose. First, he didn't have any pockmarks on his face, which means he wasn't infected with smallpox and used the smallpox virus to harm people?He wants to die together.

Zheng Yiguan should not have the courage.

Second, he, Zheng Yiguan, is not smart enough to know how to use "biochemical weapons". In this day and age, no one really has the awareness in this regard.

Shi Yiwen believed it was an accident more than deliberately throwing poison and sending flowers, but this did not prevent him from making use of it.

"I'm afraid that at that time, it will be God's blessing to survive to two or three adults, Zheng Yiguan!"

Staring at Zheng Yiguan coldly, Shi Yiwen said in a cold tone.

"How will you explain to the tens of thousands of elders in Beigang!"

Zheng Yiguan was dumbfounded.

Not dumbfounded, but frightened.In any case, he never expected such a result.

It is necessary for people to betray their relatives, and what is even more terrible is that if all this really happened, Zheng Yiguan must be dead, even if he is not infected, he will not survive.

Even if these people around are infected with the disease, they will definitely eat it alive before they die.

"Big, chief manager, small, small really, really not!"

With a bitter face, Zheng Yiguan repeatedly argued.

Let alone the old grievances now, even if he is asked to kneel and kowtow now, he will kneel and kowtow to recognize his master without hesitation.

As long as the chief executive in front of him can save his life.

And Zheng Zhihu also said aside.

"Boss, my brother has absolutely no intention of harming everyone, this, this must be an accident!"

"That's right, if the smallpox spreads today, our third brother won't be able to survive! Please ask the chief manager to make a clear argument."

Zheng Zhifeng also argued that, whether he wanted to or not, he knew that the life of their third brother was on the body of the chief executive in front of him, and now he was their third brother's life-saving straw.

In the face of reality, people are the quickest to compromise. The third brother who originally wanted to ask for an explanation, faced the reality of betrayal by everyone, immediately succumbed to it, and recognized Shi Yiwen's position as the manager. As for what to say, it doesn't matter. up.

The most important thing now is to save your life.

"Isolate first!"

Staring at the unconscious patient on the ground, various thoughts flashed in Shi Yiwen's mind. On the one hand, he knew that this was an opportunity to attack Zheng Yiguan, and he had to seize this opportunity.

But whether to kill him or not?

A murderous intent flashed in Shi Yiwen's heart. In fact, if the smallpox epidemic spread, someone would kill him without doing it himself.

Of course, for him, this is also a godsend opportunity!
A godsend opportunity to win hearts and minds.

"Scribe Feng, you lead 100 people, quarantine the people on board, all the staff are not allowed to disembark, and all the people who have been in contact with the sailors who disembarked are quarantined..."

Perhaps for people in this era, they cannot understand the importance of isolation, but what is certain is that isolation is the most effective way to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.

And fortunately, there are islands near the mouth of the river that can isolate these people on the spot.As long as they are sent to the island, further expansion of the epidemic can be avoided.

"In the future, after immigrants come here, they should be quarantined on the island first!"

Thinking of the historical records about the plague in the late Ming Dynasty, Shi Yiwen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, this is really terrible.If the plague or something spreads, it will be over!
In the future, we must do a good job of isolation beforehand, at least we should take precautions in advance.

……

Because of the smallpox brought by Zheng Yiguan, this spring in Beigang did not have any spring breath, and the whole Beigang was shrouded in melancholy.

According to the experience of previous plague outbreaks, the plague must spread first and then be gradually brought under control.But the plague this time seems to be different. Although more than a dozen people were infected with smallpox in the next few days, the epidemic was still concentrated on the island at the mouth of the river because of the preparations for isolation and prevention of the plague. Among the sailors.

But ten days later, the epidemic still appeared in Beigang Laozhai.

Now the main village of Beigang was completely exploded, every household closed their doors, and minimized going out, and the streets were depressed.Almost every household began to burn incense and worship Buddha, and the most important thing was to pray for Mazu to appear and bless them all in safety.

The reason why people are so afraid is because in this era, smallpox is an incurable disease, and the virus is extremely contagious. It can be transmitted through the air and has an incubation period ranging from seven to seventeen days. The incubation period is the most contagious, and the saliva of the infected person contains the largest amount of smallpox virus, including things that the patient has been in contact with, and is also highly contagious. All this makes the smallpox virus almost uncontrollable once it spreads.

In this era, once infected with smallpox, the mortality rate was as high as more than [-]%.Even if they survived by chance, they would still have rotten sores on their bodies and pockmarks on their faces.

For more than 1000 years, everyone has been full of deep-seated fear of smallpox.After all, smallpox has caused too much death all over the world since ancient times.

However, when Shi Yiwen was born in smallpox as the first virus that was completely eradicated by humans, it became history,
Even so, he knew enough about smallpox.What is the biggest characteristic of smallpox?That is, people who have been infected with smallpox will produce antibodies in their bodies and then become immune to smallpox.

In order to obtain this kind of immunity, China was the first to vaccinate against smallpox in history, and the so-called "human pox" is to vaccinate people who have not got the disease from the acne of people who have smallpox, but "human pox" is very toxic , great harm to the human body, but even so, it is still a relatively effective means of epidemic prevention.

So in history, it was "vaccinia" that finally played a role, and it was through inoculation of "vaccinia" that humans finally conquered smallpox.

Therefore, compared to other people's panic in the face of "smallpox", Shi Yiwen is extremely calm, because he has been vaccinated.

Therefore, there is no need to consider the threat of smallpox at all.

It is not enough to just be immune to smallpox, but also to find a way to save other people. Therefore, while in isolation, Shi Yiwen started to work hard, looking for cows with cowpox among the hundreds of cows in the stockade.
In the next few days, no one knew what Shi Yiwen was busy with. He traveled all over the settlements, and then went directly to the cowshed to carefully inspect the buffaloes. Even though smallpox causes smallpox is a common disease, But after searching around, they still couldn't find it. It wasn't until the sixth day that there were some small herpes on a cow.

"This should be cowpox!"

Shi Yiwen, who was overjoyed in his heart, felt that this might be the "sick cow" he was looking for.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is true or not, it just needs to be tested directly.

On the same day, Shi Yiwen took some pus directly from the pustules on the pustules of the cow's vagina with a needle, and used it to infect a few cows before Shi Yiwen began to consider the experiment.

In fact, the so-called experiment is directly on the human body.After all, by the time Shi Yiwen was ready, dozens of people in Beigang had already been infected, and even the Fanshe, dozens of miles away, had also been infected with smallpox. Compared with the Han people, the smallpox virus spread faster in Fanshe , is also more deadly!
