Quinine can cure miasma poison, which was used before the discovery of the malaria parasite, but no one knew it was quinine at the time.

In the West, the earliest antimalarial drug was a type of bark discovered by the Indians. Legend has it that an Indian who was suffering from malaria and had a dry mouth due to hot and cold drinks, drank a lot of water by a small pond, and the water tasted bitter. But soon the fever subsided and he recovered.

He found that many trees were soaked in the pond, giving the water a bitter taste. From then on, the Indians learned that the bitter water came from the bark of the tree, so they used the bark to treat cold and fever. As a result, among the South American Indians, it was secretly passed down among the tribe as an "ancestral secret recipe". At that time, they made a clan rule: this medicine is not allowed to be passed on, and anyone who violates the rules will be punished by the whole clan.

In 1638, Ana Sinco, wife of the Spaniard Count Sinco, then governor of Peru, fell ill with vivax malaria and was tended by her Indian maid Dolma. Out of kindness, she added bark powder to the decoction she gave to her wife.

Unexpectedly, she was discovered by Count Xinke, who mistakenly believed that Zhuoma had poisoned the decoction, so he tortured her severely. But Dolma can't tell the truth, because if he tells the truth, he will be killed by his clan for leaking secrets.

As a result, the Spaniards under Count Sinco were ready to burn Dolma for "poisoning the countess". In the nick of time, Anna discovers that Dolma is missing and asks the other Indian servants to find out the truth. She immediately rushed to the execution ground and rescued Dolma.

From then on, the Spaniards learned the secret of the bark and brought it back to Europe, and they called it "Peruvian bark" and "Jesus".

Subsequently, the Swedish scientist Linnetas studied the tree. And this bark was named Sinkona after the Governor's wife, thus becoming a famous antipyretic in Europe. The Chinese translation of Sinkena is "cinchona". Its cream is called "cinchona cream".

Cinchona is also known as quinine.

Although there are many new antimalarial drugs being discovered and applied, each has its own merits. Quinine thus "took a back seat". However, this "anti-malarial old hero" -- quinine still occupies a certain position in the "rookie" Rulin's medicine world, and has not yet gone through the "retirement" procedures.

In the jungle in front of Zhang Tianyuan and Snake Lin, there is a faint mist, which is mixed with a miasma that can kill people, because the jungle is too dense, so the miasma will not disperse for many years, although it may not be able to kill you directly. But it is enough to infect people with the malaria parasite, and then slowly die, just like the veteran in the story, and finally jump off a cliff in a frenzy and die.

Fortunately, it was the dry season when the two of them entered this Savage Mountain, not the rainy season, and when the expeditionary force led by Du Yuming entered the Savage Mountain, it happened to be the rainy season. Zhang Tianyuan would never enter this savage mountain lightly.

"Team Snake, we've been walking for so long, we should have walked half the way, right?"

Zhang Tianyuan calculated the time, and it was just half an hour now. He noticed that the trees around him were denser than before, and he knew that he and Serpentine were getting deeper and deeper into the Savage Mountain, and he had a compass in his hand. However, this distance is not yet confirmed, after all, he has not walked such a road.

"Hmm. About a kilometer or so, why don't we rest, brother. The more you go inside, the more difficult the situation becomes, the more difficult the road becomes, and it's not too late to rest for a while and then hurry, anyway, there is only more than a kilometer left, and it's still early. ”

Snake Lin took out the paper map, because the map in the mobile phone is no longer usable at this time, if the mobile phone can be used, it will be very convenient to calculate a lot of things, this paper map to check their location, check the length from the destination, and have to go through some calculations, it is too troublesome.

Considering that Zhang Tianyuan didn't enter such a place many times, Snake Lin wanted Zhang Tianyuan to rest for a while, and then continue to hurry, anyway, the distance was not far, and he could reach his destination in an hour at most.

"It's been half an hour, Hu Yidao and they should find out that we are gone, hurry up and hurry, solve the matter here, just go back, and don't let others worry too much......"

Zhang Tianyuan noticed that they traveled all the way, the traces of people on the road were getting fewer and fewer, and the traces of animals were gradually increasing, when passing by a mound, the two people even saw a black bear lying next to a tree sleeping, if this was free, Zhang Tianyuan estimated that he would have to come to hunt, but now he didn't have that time, or hurried to the destination, the treasure was discovered.

Due to the inaccessibility here, Zhang Tianyuan was not looking forward to it, but it ignited the flame of hope, generally speaking, even if the animals found those treasures, they would not move, after all, they didn't know the value of that thing, they might care more about the food.

As long as there are no humans near here, that's fine, maybe the large amount of treasure left by that little Japan will really be buried there, which is definitely good news for him.

He was originally adventurous, and when he used to go to school in Nandu, he often went out to explore, but at that time, it was just to go to nearby tourist attractions, and it was really not about adventure.

It's different now, and it's a great adventure to enter Savage Mountain. He had read "Robinson Crusoe" before, read "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", and watched the American drama "Lost" and the British drama "The Forgotten World", and when he was in college, he had also watched "Tibetan Code", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and "Tomb Robbery Notes" when they were popular, so ah, he likes comfort on the surface, but in fact, he has already implanted the adventure factor in his heart, such a good adventure can let him experience the scenes in TV series and novels, how could he miss it.

Is it dangerous?

Adventure, adventure, if not dangerous, can it still be called that?

Besides, it seems that there is no danger for such a long journey, so he is naturally not afraid.

As we all know, the rich have long been associated with all kinds of adventures, and many expeditions, archaeology, and cutting-edge scientific practices throughout history have been supported by the pockets of the rich. Nowadays, many wealthy people are not willing to only be behind-the-scenes bosses, but personally go into battle to experience the extreme happiness of extreme adventures, bungee jumping, roller coasters, Ferris wheels, these sports, for mavericks, acting in the position of the rich are too pediatric.

The top of the mountain, the bottom of the sea, and the journey to the universe are the destinations of their extreme sports and adventures.

Frank Wells resigned from Warner Entertainment, where he worked at the time, and Dick Bass rearranged his work plan, and they hit the road together, conquering a total of six peaks and attempting to climb Everest three times starting in 1983.

The one-year adventure that had been planned was greatly postponed, but the two rich men rejoiced in it, and they rediscovered that they were becoming real men. So they persevered again and again, and even endured the pain of another close friend dying on Mount Everest. Later, Wells gave up another assault on Everest in order to fulfill his promise to his wife, and Dick Bass joined a Norwegian expedition in 1985 and eventually succeeded in reaching the summit, becoming the first person in the world to conquer the highest peak on all seven continents, when he was also the oldest person to climb Everest, when he was 55 years old.

The success of Dick Bass and Wells' adventures greatly stimulated a large number of lurking wealthy adventurers. They are not willing to let their primal passions disappear into the cycle of "working week", and many of the rich, who are completely unqualified in the eyes of professionals, queue up to climb the world's highest peaks as if they were vying to subscribe for new shares.

In China, there are also many rich people who like to go out on adventures, which is interesting. The cost of these adventures is very large, for safety. They do a lot of preparation just to avoid danger when they take risks.

Don't say anything else. Let's just say that Zhang Tianyuan entered the Savage Mountain this time, just those arms are not something that ordinary people can buy, let alone take risks.

There is a businessman named Fawcett in the United States, who can be said to be addicted to adventure.

Although Fawcett is a businessman, he embodies more of the adventurous nature of the owner of an options trading company: in 1998, his hot air balloon was torn by a storm, and he fell from an altitude of 9,000 meters into the Coral Sea off the coast of northeastern Australia, but fortunately he escaped with his life! In 2002, when he landed a round-the-world flight, he encountered strong air currents and climbed out of the hot air balloon, his mouth was covered with blood; But his adventures are not brutal, and he often applies the risk-averse skills of the mall to adventure sports.

Compared to this person, Zhang Tianyuan's entry into Savage Mountain is really nothing, so if he retreats here, it will be a bit too embarrassing.

"Then let's rest after walking a little longer, and let's continue on our way. But you have to be careful about the road below......"

After listening to Zhang Tianyuan's words, Serpentine also felt that it made sense, after they broke away from the team today, they would definitely cause Hu Yidao's side to be anxious to find them, these people couldn't find them, and they definitely didn't dare to go out of the mountain, otherwise they would really be stripped of Yang Yaoshan's skin.

In order not to cause trouble for themselves and others, they have to move faster.

"Team Snake, put on the gas masks we prepared. Although quinine is effective, the miasma here is so strong that I'm afraid quinine alone won't work. As he spoke, Zhang Tianyuan took out a gas mask from his backpack and put it on. If this thing had been owned by the Shu army at the beginning, he would not be afraid of miasma and poison when he beat Meng Shu.

Snake Lin thought about it, and he was not afraid of ten thousand. Just in case, quinine is not omnipotent. If you wear a gas mask, it's definitely safer. So he also took out the gas mask from his backpack and put it on, this thing was prepared before entering the mountain, Zhang Tianyuan didn't like to fight unprepared battles.

After putting on the gas masks, the two of them continued to move forward, slower than before, which was also a helpless thing, after all, the further inside, the darker the light, and the more danger there would be, both of them had to be careful.

Fortunately, there are no hunters' traps in this place, and it is estimated that hunters do not dare to enter here lightly, but the bad news is that there are no traps, but there are more snakes, insects, rats and ants.

"Be careful......

For the sake of safety, Zhang Tianyuan simply turned on the perspective function of the word appreciation formula, so that he could see the situation under the cover of those leaves, and at this time he didn't care that he would be discovered, if his life was lost, it would be meaningless to keep this secret, not to mention that in this case, Snake Lin would not think of going elsewhere, but he would feel that he was more careful.

"What's wrong?" Snake Lin asked, puzzled, retracting his outward foot.

"There's something down there, and you can see the leaves are moving. Zhang Tianyuan said.

Snake Lin looked ahead, and sure enough, the leaves of the tree moved slightly, and he didn't see it, he couldn't help but sigh, Zhang Tianyuan's eyesight is powerful enough. (To be continued......)
