Chapter 367: A Taboo Place
"Is there a request for this counterattack? If not, I think we can move forward a bit. ”
After listening to Li Hao's words, Li Hao's students asked, they want to move troops, and some places require the consent of the imperial court. Now that there is such a thing as telegraphs, it is much easier to communicate with the imperial court. The requirements for this aspect are stricter, but these are not a problem for Li Hao.
"There are no requirements, but everything is based on the safety of the soldiers, and the ability of us to digest it. It's not a good thing to step too wide. When we encounter danger, our ability to cope will also decrease. ”
Li Hao knew what his students thought, but he didn't think it was good. In addition to occupying various resources here, the Tang Dynasty here may have to stay here for a long time in the future. The corresponding infrastructure construction must also keep up with the time, if these places cannot be fully digested, then all the efforts will be wasted.
The important thing is that Li Hao has always felt that the climate and environment here are easy to breed all kinds of problems, and this is the main object of concern. Li Hao is a doctor, and almost all of the major terrible diseases in later generations came from this place. So he can't help but have a little scruple about these places, and the system on his body has not opened up the epidemic prevention measures for those viruses now, so Li Hao has been cautious.
Including the tropical rainforests of Nanyang and South America, Li Hao has always been the focus of prevention. All those who work in these places are subject to regular annual inspections, and the sanitation of their homes is strictly controlled, for fear of being contaminated with something inexplicable from these places.
Li Hao does not doubt the ability of human beings to defeat the virus, and he cannot afford to lose. Throughout the history of several major viruses of mankind, too many people have been lost. For example, this plague that has not completely passed, if it weren't for Li Hao's reasons, Datang would have the ability to defend against this thing, and if this thing spread to the east, it would probably bring a catastrophe.
But not with other viruses! For example, AIZI, which had headaches in later generations, and Ebola, etc., are all from Africa, and myrrh can resist them.
"Ebola" is the name of a river in northern Zaire. In the 70s of the 20th century, an unknown virus came to Zaire and ravaged the people of 55 villages along the Ebola River, causing hundreds of lives and some families to be spared.
Hence the name of the "Ebola" virus, which ravaged Uganda in 2000 and littered the wild. The local government declared the area where the Ebola virus was most devastated as a complete quarantine zone, and used the military to strictly prohibit anyone living in the area from leaving without permission.
A virologists described the following scene after seeing the onset and death of Ebola haemorrhagic fever patients: the patients were bleeding profusely inside and outside, and at the same time, the superficial diaphragms of the skin and muscles began to burst, and the organs in the body began to die and decompose, and the patients kept spitting out necrotic tissue from their mouths, as if watching a person slowly melt in front of his eyes like ice cream, until his whole body collapsed and died, and the hospital room where they lived was full of blood, and the quilts on the beds, floors, and walls sprayed everywhere, which was quite quite terrifying.
Ebola did in 10 days what it took 10 years for AIZI to do, and the plague caught people off guard, with its onset too fast and its outbreak too rapid. And after getting sick, it is basically a dead end, incurable, and one of the top killers of mankind.
In addition to this, there is also the Lassa virus. The Lassa virus is as brutal as Ebola is a killer. It first came to attention in the seventies of the twentieth century, when an American nurse contracted the disease in a mission hospital in Nigeria. Once again, scientists are searching for the source or natural host of a virus.
Researchers captured 640 animals: house mice, voles, bats, in the interior and outside of Lassa fever-endemic villages...... Their blood is collected, their lungs, heart, spleen, and kidneys are removed, and they are stored with liquid nitrogen and transported to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control). The test came back and there was an animal that had positive blood, a common brown rat in West Africa. When a researcher pinched a brown rat in his hand, an angry little thing soaked urine on the researcher's hand, and two weeks later the scientist died of Lassa fever.
The Marburg virus, a virus named after a place, is yet another deadly virus. Marburg virus is the same filovirus as Ebola, and its symptoms are similar to Ebola: sudden high fever, headache, heavy sweating, muscle aches. The initial symptoms are much like the flu, starting on the fifth day of illness, a maculopapular rash appears on the chest, back, and abdomen, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain; Symptoms become more severe over time, with jaundice, pancreatitis, significant weight loss, confusion, shock, and failure of multiple organs throughout the body, followed by bleeding from the mouth and nose, blood in the urine, bleeding from the ** and gastrointestinal tract. Typically, onset occurs after an incubation period of 5 to 10 days, and most patients die within a week.
Anthrax fever was talked about in later generations, and it also originated in Africa. Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, mainly in the form of spores, and the spores have a protective function that allows the bacteria to survive in nature for a long time without being damaged by sunlight, heat and disinfectants.
Any object stained with anthrax, even a letter, can infect a person with deadly anthrax. There are three main types of it: cutaneous anthrax caused by skin-to-skin contact, respiratory anthrax transmitted by air, and intestinal anthrax caused by eating infected meat. Among them, respiratory anthrax fever has the most serious consequences, with a fatality rate of about 95-100%.
Anthrax bacilli are relatively easy to cultivate, easy to produce in large quantities, and can be stored for long periods of time, even decades to centuries, and some countries have used it as an important development project for chemical and biological weapons. It can exist in a liquid or solid form, and the liquid Fever Anthracis bacillus sprayed in the air will form a fine mist; The anthrax spores dry and can be mixed with other powders, which can become infected when inhaled into the powder floating in the air.
American experts have pointed out that if anthrax is used as a biological weapon, its lethality is not inferior to that of a hydrogen bomb, which is enough to paralyze entire cities and regions. A report published by the U.S. Congressional Bureau of Technology Assessment in 1993 estimated that if 100 kilograms of anthrax spores were sprayed into Washington, D.C., 130,000~3 million people could die, and its damage would be the same as that of a hydrogen bomb.
In addition to these viruses with relatively large impact and serious harm, no one knows whether there are any powerful viruses in Africa that have not been discovered. The system on his body exceeds the scientific and technological level before Li Hao's crossing, and this Li Hao is very clear. But, but can humans really crack all viruses? In case they provoke a kind of awesome guy to come out and destroy the entire human race, how can they crack it?
After arriving in Africa, Li Hao casually used the ingredients here to make a few dishes of this side that he had heard of, and the taste was average. To be honest, there aren't many things that can be called delicious in Africa, but there are a lot of good ingredients like this. Li Hao wants to make a few delicacies, but this is not difficult.
However, after he stepped into the African section, and made a dish with the characteristics and flavors of this side, the African section of the system has been opened. In addition to Antarctica, the other continents have now been unlocked by Li Hao, and some of the corresponding information about eating this piece has also begun to be opened.
After Li Hao opened this module in the system, he couldn't wait to go in and take a look, he had what he wanted, but it was still a gray window. This means that Li Hao's level is not enough, and he needs to continue to level up.
"! I'm running out of food on this earth, and it's not enough yet? Do you want to eat out of the earth and challenge the galaxy?" Seeing the display of the system, Li Hao couldn't help but spit out a little, it seems that he will have to continue to work hard in the future, earn more points and cook more food.
Li Hao didn't dare to say anything else, but in terms of food, he is now more and more knowledgeable, and he is also handy. What's more, his other job, because of the system, has now improved Datang's medical level one after another, which may not be much worse than that of later generations. Except for some advanced instruments, the current scientific and technological level of Datang is not so high, and the others are really stronger than later generations.
Especially in the development of medical ethics and medical heart, countless streets have been left behind in later generations. The rating here is not a means of copying papers to prove itself, and it must be a person who has his own real discovery and role in medical skills to be promoted. And when medical ethics are unanimously recognized by everyone, such people will also be praised by the court and respected by the people.
The imperial court also treated doctors very favorably, so that they would not rely on extracting the value of patients to achieve their own wealth accumulation. Moreover, in terms of moral education, the imperial court has always grasped it very tightly, and has never dared to relax.
There is something Li Hao doesn't want to say in the future, and that is such a world. But now that there is a place where Datang is almost a blank sheet of paper for him to paint, he naturally wants to make this painting more beautiful and more planned.
"Teacher, these African people are really aliens, and they are even more backward than those barbarian tribes around our Datang. Such abundant resources here have been wasted in vain, and these people can only be worthy of being slaves. "Li Hao has two titles, the students who are very close to him or who have studied with Li Hao call him teacher, and the students who come out of the academy in the back are all called Master after seeing Li Hao, which is still a little different.
