Chapter 1149: Vaccines
At the same time, although the epidemic in Xianguo has been contained, it is still not optimistic:
"By the end of last year, a total of 86,737 deaths had been reported in the nine counties of Qingtian, Sangbei, Sangnan, Ganfu, Shangguan, Wanchuan, Pengyuan, Chunan, and Xianxi, and another 170,000 people were suspected or sick. More than 147,000 people died in the Wei Kingdom, more than 70,000 in the Liang Kingdom, and no other vassal states have been reported.
If it continues to spread, the capital will not be spared before May this year, and the king must deal with it as soon as possible. ”
"Yongxing Hou has no countermeasures as a good doctor, how do you want to deal with the plague that you can't see or touch."
"King Qiqi, the minister suggested that the population of Sangnan and Sangbei counties should be evacuated and isolated, and all the population should be moved to Qingtian for resettlement, and Sangnan and Sangbei counties should be turned into no man's land.
"Won't the land of those two counties be wasted, and how much grain will it cost?"
"Although the population has been relocated, our army will still be stationed in two counties. As for the money and food, although the cost is huge, if millions of people die, the loss will be even greater. ”
Bailiyan decided to implement population isolation in the three counties of Qingtian, Sangnan and Sangbei, erected barbed wire fences in the five counties of Shangguan, Ganfu, Pengyuan, Qiunan and Xianxi bordering Qingtian, Sangnan and Sangbei, stationed town troops, and cut off all water and land passages.
At the same time, an isolation and disinfection camp will be built at the border of Qingtian, and all healthy people who do not show symptoms will go to the isolation camp in batches to undergo quarantine and decontamination and three-month observation to filter out most of the lurking positions.
At the same time, the decontamination and local isolation of the population areas in Cheongtian County can minimize the spread of pathogens to the hinterland by minimizing the threat of border areas.
Due to the sheer scale and the tens of millions of dollars and grain to be expended, the pressure on the treasury of the wartime Xian country was really not small.
"King, this matter is carried out as soon as possible, the later it is delayed, the greater the damage to the country, and now the medicine has begun to be tightened, let it continue to spread and expand, and the ministers will not be able to return to the sky."
"How long will the medicine last?"
"At present, the medicines used are reserved at the scale of 1 million Xian Army and 1 million coalition troops, with 500,000 casualties a year, but as of the first half of last year, the reserve has only reached 60%. After last year's consumption, there is now less than forty percent left, which is still the consumption in the case of Xuanyun and Ruitian Pharmaceutical Factories producing day and night, and the consumption will only increase in the future, so thunderous measures must be taken. ”
"Okay, according to Sinong's words, the three counties will be isolated, the water and land passages will be cut off, and we will do it as soon as possible."
"No!"
Walking out of the national political prison, Bai Liyan was in a heavy mood, and he said to Ranlan:
"How is the analysis of pathogens going, is there a possibility of producing a vaccine?"
"Yes, but it's more troublesome."
"What's the trouble?"
"I found that this acute pneumonia has a very poor effect on the Jinxuedi people, and I can extract their serum to make antiserum."
"Aren't you saying in vain, the current technical strips do not have the conditions for industrial-scale production of antiserum. The output of the laboratory is not enough to be universally applied, and the price is sky-high. ”
"Then there is only one way, which is to infect the people of Nirkocco with malignant pneumonia, and then extract antibodies, and then use their blood to grow antibodies, and then extract the vaccine for injection."
"You're saying that when a Nilkocco person gets pneumonia, the immune system produces antibodies that fight off this nauseous pneumonia?"
"Yes, their immune system can produce strong antibodies, but it still needs a culture cycle, and this year will definitely be too late."
"How long does the immune effect last, and does it have any side effects on the Central Plains?"
"There are certain uncomfortable side effects, the fatal and disabling rate is about 1 in 1.2 million, and the immune effect on the human body at a safe dose is about three years and seven months."
Vaccines are an important means of modern medicine to fight viruses and malignant diseases, and the news provided by Wild Lan has made Bailiyan like a treasure.
Since obtaining the strain samples last year, Wild has been continuously comparing and calculating the microbial and biochemical information collected in the existing database to try to find countermeasures, and the whole screening requires a complex process and cycle.
After receiving a clear reply from the storm, Bailiyan left the palace and rushed to the Chichika residence.
Outside the residence, there were sentry posts of the Xian army, and inside the residence were several one-foot high watchtowers, from which the soldiers of Nilkonko would stand guard and look out at the low towers built by this special design.
There are measures to defend the Xian army, and this kind of standing guard is at best a symbolic armed presence, but as a basic political principle of reciprocity, any embassy abroad has the right to send security personnel to carry out military guard within the territory of the embassy.
There are more than 300 people stationed in the Nilkocco garrison of Chichika's official residence, and they live in the three-entry compound of the human race, which is inevitably too big. Chichka was basking in the sun when he was seen.
The people of Nilkoco are extremely tolerant of hot and humid climates, but are not very accustomed to the cold.
From October to February, the temperature is usually below 10 degrees Celsius, with occasional temperatures as low as -1 or 2 degrees. This will make Chichka and others often catch colds, so every winter, they wear like balls, and desperately bask in the sun after the beginning of spring to find a warm feeling.
"Lord Si Nong is really a rare guest, why did you come here today."
"There is a matter related to the survival of the Central Plains, but this official still hopes to win the consent of Lord Chichika."
Chichka lit a cloud cigarette and took a puff, and the next moment he said:
"My people are few and widowed, and they are humble by nature, so I really can't think of anything that my people can do to help you."
"That's right, if the people of Guibang can be cured of the plague that has recently been epidemic in the Northland, they can obtain a medicine from the blood of their people, so Ben Hou hopes that a warrior in your country will risk his life to obtain this medicine for my Central Plains."
Chichka was taken aback when he heard the news:
"Ah, how can this work, you will die."
"Prompt rescue can be cured, and there will be no recurrence for several years after cure, which is currently the only way to treat the disease."
"But how can I risk this with the lives of my people."
"If Lord Chichika has any concerns, I can guarantee that if an accident occurs to the warriors of your country, we will compensate for all the losses caused by it. In addition, the production of this medicine requires the blood of the people of Guibang, who can exchange the blood for our commodities and gold and silver. ”
"This ...... It won't hurt the lives of my people. ”
"Rest assured, each person only needs one or two blood per month."
"Is this medicine good for my people?"
"Lord Chichika, please rest assured, this medicine is taken from the people of your country, and it is also effective for your people."
"Alright then, I'm going to think about it." As the words fell, Chichka looked at the governor Maoji and said in a local dialect: "Maoji, what do you think of this?" ”
"There are good and bad human beings, but this Si Nong has always had a good reputation among the common people, and the armpit people are monsters, they eat human flesh, and they will definitely eat us, and this strange disease can kill humans now, and it will kill us in the future. Rather than killing the clansmen in the future, it is still worth exchanging the life of a warrior for the lives of more clansmen now, and he also said that as long as he heals in time, he can still be saved. ”
"In that case, the only thing is to take risks."
Chichka agreed with Maoji's suggestion, and then said to Bailiyan:
"Okay, I can promise you, but since it is a medicine made from the blood of my people, this medicine should not make a profit when it is sold to my people in the future, what does Dasi Nong think?"
"It depends on the final cost, but the official guarantees that no matter how high the cost is, it will not earn a penny from your state."
"Well, I agree to send a warrior to take an adventure, no matter what the outcome is, in case of any accident for our warriors, the envoy hopes that Lord Sinong will return the body to the envoy, and the envoy will take him back, only then can the envoy explain to our people."
"Lord Chichika, please rest assured, if something happens, Ben Hou will use the crystal coffin to put the remains of your warriors in it and send them back to Spirit Island."
The people of Nilkoco have a special affection for their homeland, and they must be buried in their homeland regardless of life or death, and in their belief that only in their hometown can they reunite with their loved ones after death.
After agreeing with Chichika, Bailiyan immediately began to arrange manpower and equipment, and at the same time stepped up the implementation of border blockade and isolation in the four counties of Ganfu, Shangguan, Pengyuan, Xianxi, and Qiunan, and opened an isolation camp in Qingtian.
However, on March 17, the bad news of Ye Xin's death came from Sangbei County, which caught the cabinet off guard.
At present, Ye Xin, Gu Zhong, Xu Jin, Xiao Qu, Gao Pei, and Chen Qu are all old, and Mo Yunfeng, Lu Tingxun, Fang Liang, and Tian Peng are not young anymore, only Zhou Kong is still acceptable.
Looking at the whole army, after the First World War of Yongxinghe, a group of front-line generals who have been strengthened and trained in the past five years are as young as 50 and 70 as large, and Ye Xin's death is just the beginning, and more generals will be "retired" in the form of death in the future.
The greatest blessing in a soldier's life is to fight for his country, and the greatest sorrow is that he is still unable to bring peace and tranquility to his country and people before his death.
As a soldier, Bai Liyan felt deeply guilty for failing to give the front-line soldiers a peaceful retirement life.
Ye Xin died of illness, and the military power of the Third Town Army became the focus, Jiang Yu must have hoped to get it in his hands, and he had asked Mi Yuan to be the main town general more than once, but Bai Liyan refused.
After careful consideration, Bai Liyan suggested that Ye Xin's eldest son, Ye Shan, be promoted to general and continue to command the Third Town Army. It is not only in line with the practice of the old system, but also very disposed of in extraordinary times, and stabilizing the morale of the military is the first priority.
Ye Xin is a civilian promoted by Zhao Xun, Ye Xin has served as the general of the town army for many years, and most of the generals are promoted by Zhao Xun, Ye Xin is Zhao Xun's profitable cadre during his tenure, in the entire Xian Army and the Third Town Army, the prestige is second only to Zhao Xun, and its influence in the third town army is unrivaled, Ye Shan served as the main general, and the generals of all armies under Ye Xin's account are recognized, which is convenient for the transfer and takeover of power.
Although Ye Shan did not receive modern military education, the young generals of the armed battalion who studied artillery earlier returned to the furnace for half a year after the appearance of the rifle, and had a better understanding of modern operations, and it was more advantageous to take over the Third Town Army.
