The Revolutionary Era in One Piece
Chapter 64 The Truth about Amber-Lead Disease
After meeting the patients with Perthirus disease with the priest, Marne and his companions settled down in the monastery. Their top priority was to help the people of the Kingdom of Frevans stay away from the threat of Perthirus disease.
"Comrades, without investigation, you have no right to speak. Tomorrow, everyone will split up the team and go deep into the Kingdom of Frevans to investigate. We must get to the bottom of all matters, big and small, related to the amber lead disease." Ma En said to everyone.
On the second day, everyone followed the plan and divided into several teams to conduct an investigation in Frefans. The main goal of this investigation was to determine the incidence of Perkins disease in the entire kingdom and how Perkins patients were treated in the kingdom.
After several days of exploration, the various information collected was summarized in Marne's hands, and the revolutionaries also gained a better understanding of the Kingdom of Frevans.
According to the various information collected, to be fair, the overall incidence of lead peroxide disease in the Kingdom of Frevans is not high.
According to what Marx said, the cause of the white disease came from amber and lead. The revolutionaries discovered that ordinary people in the Kingdom of Frevans did not have more opportunities to come into contact with amber and lead products.
Anyone who could use amber and lead products was at least middle class or above, and there were not many such people in the entire kingdom.
However, the number of patients in the monastery was still increasing every day, and they were basically all lower-class civilians. After all, if someone had the money, who would go to a monastery for free treatment?
Why is the number of people suffering from the disease increasing every day? Ma En asked everyone to change the statistical method, and now everyone can see the pattern of the disease.
Although the incidence of amber-lead disease seemed low when spread across the entire Kingdom of Frevans, after recounting the data by occupation at Marn's request, the incidence of amber-lead disease was surprisingly high, and was basically concentrated among workers in various industries related to amber-lead.
With this, the revolutionaries had solid evidence that vitiligo was caused by amber and lead products. Although Marx and Engels had been very sure about it before, there were still people who were misled and did not believe it. Now the evidence was finally solid.
Looking at the data recalculated by everyone, the incidence rate of people working in specific occupations is surprisingly high. According to the current situation, it is as high as 20 to 30. According to Father Joseph, the number of people suffering from the disease now is almost more than ten times the number when the white disease was first exposed.
It is reasonable to speculate that if the revolutionaries had not come to the Kingdom of Frevans, in a few years, the disease rate among these people might have reached 60% to 70%, or even in extreme cases, 100% would have died.
This is a real possible future. The people in power will never give up the production of lead amber for the sake of profit. What is even more vicious than doing so is that they concealed the true situation of lead amber disease.
There might have been a way to prevent PerkinElmer disease, but it might have been shelved because of the selfishness of those in power.
"The old method, the most urgent task is to establish a trade union. Only by uniting the masses can we safeguard their interests." Ma En spoke first.
At this time, Daomei continued, "Right now, the biggest problem of the Kingdom of Frefans is not the amber disease itself, but the entire profit class that relies on amber to make profits.
Mr. Maan, with all due respect, the party may not be able to mobilize more forces to overthrow the huge mountain that is weighing on the people of the Kingdom of Frevans.
If we act rashly against the ruling class of the Frevans Kingdom, we may confront the World Government ahead of time, which is inconsistent with the previous policy. "
In fact, other people in the party also saw this problem, but among those present, only Daomei was the first to raise it. As the nominal supreme commander of the party’s current military force, she was the only one who could raise it.
“Well, I know there is really no way to completely solve the problems of the Kingdom of Frevans, but we, the Revolutionary Party, still need to do our best.
The establishment of a trade union can at least increase the bargaining chips in the hands of workers. In this case, as long as they want to continue to gain benefits, the vested interests will not fall out and can also gain a certain amount of negotiation space.
I'll think about it and see if there is any other way to prevent Perkin-Lead Disease." Ma En replied somewhat helplessly.
That night, Ma En tossed and turned in bed, but he could not find the solution. After thinking about it for a long time without any solution, Ma En got up from the bed and planned to take a walk to see if he could find any clues.
When Maan walked out of the room, he found Lux still revising the meeting minutes, which made Maan feel a little bit sorry.
"Comrade Lux, you can go and rest first. I'm going to take a walk. After I come back, I can revise the records."
"Mr. Marn, you don't need to help me. I can do it by myself, and I'm almost done." Lux's tone was firm.
However, she then changed the subject, "Mr. Maan, are you going for a walk? Can you wait for me? I also want to go for a walk after I'm done. We can go together."
Of course, Ma En had no reason to refuse, and he began to help Lux revise the records. Together, the two of them quickly finished revising the records. Then, the two of them began to walk around the monastery, one in front and one behind.
At this time, it was late at night and the whole monastery was silent. Ma En wanted to change his mind in this quiet environment and see if he could find a solution in his past life's memories.
The two began to stroll around, and at this time, they met a third person who was walking, or more precisely, patrolling. That's right, Marne and Lacus met Father Joseph who was patrolling at night.
After meeting the two people, Father Joseph was also very happy. He happily joined their walking group and even kindly served as a guide for them.
The trio walked around the monastery like this, they walked very fast, and stopped at each area, as if they were really taking a walk. At this time, the priest stopped, and the three of them came to a special room.
Subconsciously, the priest began to introduce the two people, "This room is filled with amber and lead products that I had people seal up after learning the truth. They were used as simple ritual objects before. Almost no one touches them, except for the nuns who are responsible for cleaning them every day."
At this point, the priest fell silent, and then continued, "I should have thought of it earlier. Everyone thought it was caused by PerkinElmer disease. But they were not in charge of the ward. If I had been more careful at the time, the tragedy that followed would definitely not have happened again."
After listening to the priest's words, Maren realized that several nuns had died because of the amber and lead products in the monastery before they were sealed.
"Let's go in and take a look, just to commemorate the innocent people who died here." Ma En said at this time.
The other two people present did not object. The priest might have been there to commemorate the deceased, while Lux was simply curious. Just like that, the priest opened the door and walked into the room first.
After turning on the lights, the priest invited the two men in. After Marne entered the room, he took a look and saw that there were indeed some instruments made of amber and lead. These instruments were pure white, just like the name of the white town.
After reading it, Marnton felt bored. It was because of these things that people died tragically every day. "Let's go, Father. The past cannot be pursued, only the future can be pursued."
The two walked out of the room one after the other, and Lux turned off the lights at the back. At this time, Lux suddenly called the two of them, "Mr. Maan, come and see, these things are glowing."
Ma En turned around and quickly returned to the room. The priest quickly followed him, saying, "It's normal to glow. This is one of the reasons why amber-lead products are so popular."
Ma En looked at the amber-lead products in the room that emitted a faint glow, and he felt that he had found the truth. Combining the memories of his past life, "Luminous? This is radiation!"
