Keelung Town on Dayuan Island changes differently every day, and as the people living in it, even if they don't leave the town, they can also open up their horizons that ordinary people can't have.

Bicycles and tricycles began to be mass-produced, and the cumbersome wooden ox-and-horse carts were soon eliminated, making it easier for people to travel daily and carry goods on camels.

In order to keep this rich and high-quality iron ore resource, Li Tianyang and Hai Dafu paid a lot of money to bribe the county magistrate and the governor of the Shilu mining area.

As the rubber trees planted in Luzon and Shizupo enter the mature stage, the natural rubber that can be harvested can be used as rubber shoes and rainproof equipment for daily use, but also provide a sufficient share for the production of tires, which is also one of the important reasons why bicycles and tricycles can be mass-produced.

Of course, there is no lack of hardware production technology under the command of Hongmen, after the unification and refinement of measuring tools, the accuracy of Hongmen's various steel tools can even reach the subtlety of two or three hairs.

Under the compulsory planning of Hongmen, excellent measuring tools such as calipers and micrometers have become the most important tools in the production of many military industries and hardware industries under Hongmen, promoting the vigorous progress of Hongmen's military industry.

Li Tianyang has used calipers, micrometers and other tools in actual operation, for its measurement principle, production technology, etc., but in his mind is clear at a glance, it is with these seemingly ordinary and other measurement tools, so that Hongmen and other industries are more formalized, and the scrap rate of products produced is also rapidly decreasing.

"It's a damn plague that has been brought under control, if it really spreads out in our town, I'm afraid I don't know how much impact it will have!!"

A young man dressed in a one-piece gray linen coat and wearing a cotton mask on his mouth sighed as he washed his bare skin with toiletries soaked in wormwood, garlic and other antiseptic items after visiting a hospital room.

No one knows what kind of germs they will carry among the displaced people who have been recruited to Dayuan Island, and although Hongmen has accumulated a wealth of experience in recruiting displaced people, there are always sudden outbreaks of various infectious diseases due to the new homeless people who have been placed in the settlements.

Common diseases such as colds and typhoid fever are the most contagious and difficult to control, but because the Hongmen Health Bureau has been vigorously promoting common disease patches and pills, this disease, which is difficult to eradicate in other places, has been effectively controlled on Dayuan Island.

As for malaria, schistosomiasis, etc., Li Tianyang was originally the biggest enemy of Dayuan Island, but with the persistent treatment of these diseases over the years, the cure rate has been effectively improved, making these diseases no longer a terrifying existence that people have changed for.

It is also because of this confidence that Hongmen can gather so many people to open up the wasteland on a large scale on Dayuan Island and Luzon Islands, without worrying too much about the various losses and consumption caused by jungle diseases.

This time, in Xufeng Village, a coastal satellite village more than 20 miles south of Keelung Town, dozens of recruited people who had just been resettled in the village suddenly broke out of a devastating plague -- smallpox.

Hongmen has been very strict in controlling the germs carried by the foreign population, not only to isolate all the newly recruited people in an isolated island for two weeks, so that the germs they may be carrying can break out, and then the doctors of the health bureau will treat them.

During the quarantine, as long as one person has a possible and suspected source of the plague, all members will be quarantined for a longer period of time, and the sick person will be treated intensively, while the other people who do not show symptoms will be quarantined for at least a month until there is no one suspected case among them.

Even so, there are often cases like Chenfeng Village, where there is a sudden outbreak of the epidemic after quarantine, and the local neighborhood committee will seek help from the health bureau's subordinate agencies as soon as the epidemic is discovered, and professional doctors will soon come to the outbreak site to control the epidemic.

"Fortunately, this time it was only smallpox that was discovered, and if there were other chaotic epidemics, we would be busy."

Having just undergone a painstaking treatment and diagnosis, the young doctor Xiao Shan's pale cheeks were a little more fortunate.

As long as there is an epidemic within their jurisdiction, they, the doctors under the Health Bureau, must unconditionally go to the first scene of the disease to control the local epidemic.

Even the Hongmen health system, which attaches the most importance to the health system and has rich experience in epidemic treatment, when there is a real epidemic, all the doctors under it will not panic, that is, they will work with their heads in their hands, and they will not pay attention to the infection with all kinds of highly transmissible plagues, at least one-third of the mortality rate, no matter which doctor will feel very frightened.

Smallpox, the fastest and most rapidly deteriorating of the plagues found in the Hongmen health system, is the only disease in the Hongmen system that has a great deal of confidence that doctors will not be infected.

Thanks to the small memory of the knowledge of biology class when he was a student, and the understanding of the school when he was a child, he was given an important treatment plan for smallpox, a plague that has a great reputation in this era.

Smallpox patients are almost never infected again after they have been cured, which is a wonderful result that the doctors of the Hongmen Health Bureau have discovered in the long-term practical treatment process.

What's even more amazing is that Li Tianyang, a leader who has not made much achievements in medical treatment, told Wu Changtao of the Health Bureau that they had an excellent way to prevent smallpox, that is, to take the initiative to contact cattle infected with cowpox in the pasture to infect them with less virulent and reactive cowpox.

After vaccinia vaccination, unless it is the kind of people with extreme allergies who will have intense symptoms, the general audience's reaction to the disease is minimal, except for a pox scar in the place where cowpox is introduced, at most some minor symptoms such as dizziness and swelling.

However, those who have been cured from vaccinia will not be able to be infected by the smallpox virus when they are exposed to the smallpox virus in the future, and then they will no longer be threatened by the smallpox plague.

This is also the reason why Xiao Shankou feels lucky.
