Because they know that there will be a problem with tropical diseases, unlike in Alaska, when the Japanese go to work in the rainforest area, Blackwater's escort team will not follow to protect them, although the rainforest has no fewer beasts than Alaska. After all, Blackwater's guards weren't worthless suspicious humans like the Japanese workers. So in the first few days, Japanese workers were bitten to death by poisonous snakes, eaten by pythons, and gnawed by cougars.

The first accident occurred when a couple of inexperienced little Japanese were cutting down a mahogany tree that was hugged by two people. Mahogany is a very hard tree, and several small Japanese people cut it around it for almost a whole day to bring down the big tree, but when the big tree fell, an unexpected accident happened to the Japanese - the big tree had a lot of tough rattan hanging on it, and when the big tree fell, these rattans also fell. But there was a vine hanging on a big tree over there at the same time, and the rattan broke at once under the impact of the countdown. So the severed piece of rattan, like a whip, was whipped over the head of a small Japanese, and it turned out that the strength of the Japanese head was far less than that of the bald head, and under the whip of the rattan, his head was like a watermelon being smashed by a baseball bat, and it was immediately shattered to the ground.

Stimulated by this, another Japanese worker jumped out of the way, and I don't know if it was the effect of Dalimaru, this jump jumped more than four meters away, and then rolled down the hillside without standing firmly. Fortunately, this place is not high, so although this guy rolled to the stream in one go, surprisingly, except for a few cuts on his body, he did not suffer too serious injuries. However, his good fortune ran out at that time. This guy was scrambling to get up, and accidentally stepped on a soft object. It was a napping snake, the heaviest snake in the world!

In terms of length, a forest python alone is not long compared to those Indonesian reticulated pythons that can grow up to more than seven meters long, generally more than four meters long, and it is rare to see more than five meters. But when it comes to weight, it's completely different, a private long-grown Dessen snake can often weigh about 100 kilograms, and its body is as thick as a bucket.

The forest python, who was sleeping soundly, but was stepped on for no reason, was of course unceremoniously, and bit the Japanese shoulder with a hard bite, and before he could react, it was a quick entanglement, which wrapped the Japanese into a strong knot.

His friends were stunned when they saw this change - for a group of Japanese people who have lived in temperate and cold temperate zones all their lives, except in mythological stories, when have they ever heard of such a big snake? Well, maybe the Eight Snakes are one. So there is a little Japan who doesn't have a long head, and he simply threw the axe and knelt down and kowtowed.

"Baga!" The overseer who led the team, Ren Kuroshima, flew up, kicked the stupid hat to the ground, and then shouted, "Follow me to save people!" He rushed down with his axe. The effect of taking too many Diana pills immediately came out, and several other Japanese workers immediately rushed down with axes......

In the end, the big snake that had been cut off several axes slipped into the stream and ran away, but the workers who had been entangled had their bones broken and had already lost their breath. As a result, in order to cut down a tree, two Japanese died.

However, Rodrigo, who was in charge of the logging task in this area, did not feel distressed about this exchange, because these Japanese were not worth much in the first place, but the mahogany they felled was probably worth more than this group of Japanese combined. The Panamanian government has given all the wood in this area of the house to the Canal Company. Such good timber can be easily sold for a good price if it is dragged out.

However, compared with the rattan pumped to death, the python is entangled to death, and the more troublesome thing is the mosquito. Mosquitoes in tropical rainforests can transmit a wide variety of deadly diseases. The worst of them are malaria and yellow fever.

Scrooge also knows something about this, and in order to avoid unnecessary losses, he has also prepared some measures. For example, at his direction, the McDonald Chemical & Pharmaceutical Company developed a potion that was said to be sprayed on the body to ensure that mosquitoes were not bitten for at least two hours. However, the potion was not given to the workers. Even Scrooge had no intention of letting the workers use it. In addition, organophosphorus pesticides and other things are not particularly difficult things, they really need to be made, and tens of thousands of tons will be made in minutes, so as to ensure that all wild animals in the canal area can be extinct. It's just that Scrooge didn't plan to use this thing. The reason is so simple: do you think now is really a good time to get the canal repaired?

In Scrooge's possession there was also a Pacific Railroad, which was about to be completed. If at this time, the canal is opened, then how do you make that railway profitable? Previously, Scrooge vigorously built a big deal, and even divided Colombia for the sake of this canal, so Scrooge really didn't spend too much money (a lot of money is still the money of other investors, not Scrooge's, and he doesn't feel distressed if he loses), so the whole world believes that he really plans to dig the canal.

Affected by this news, especially the news that a large number of workers began to excavate, the stock price of the Pacific Railway fell a lot, well, taking this opportunity, Scrooge bought a lot of shares of the Central Pacific Railway that were not under his control at a low cost. It is believed that in the future, when the news of the failure of the canal development comes out, Scrooge will be able to make a lot of money.

What's more, when manipulating Panama's independence, it caused an arms race in South America, and now the MacDonald Infantry Weapons Company, whose business had declined due to the end of the civil war, immediately made a lot of money again. At the same time, Blackwater made a lot of money through the employment fee - although Scrooge did not intend to make money from it when he founded it. Excluding those fake investments, there is already a lot more money to be made. And now, Panama owes Scrooge a lot of debt, and when the time comes, suddenly the canal cannot be built, and the debt repayment pressure will definitely make the previous Panamanian governments honest and obedient, and when they really want to build it again in the future, they can also fiercely suppress the price again.

Scrooge had already thought about it, and when this group of Japanese workers began to die because of malaria, yellow fever, or something, he pretended to have exhausted all the methods and still couldn't control the situation. Then, after tens of thousands of people died in one breath, he came out to confess his pride to the society, saying that he was carried away by his previous successes, and he thought that he could defeat a contagious disease, and committed the great sin of pride. Jean openly conceded defeat to nature and said that he had decided to abandon the project for humanitarian reasons until he had no ability to solve these messy tropical infectious diseases. And build yì descendants, do not try to dig the canal until there is a solution to the tropical disease.

This may seem like a confession, but the effect is definitely self-praise. You see, in this era where the lives of workers are often ignored for the sake of money, if someone else is replaced, in order to make money, they will not care about the life or death of the workers. What's more, it's only the Japanese who are suspected of being human who are dead, who cares? Even, I'm afraid the Japanese shogunate itself won't care too much. Perhaps, they will regret that they have no way to sell people to make money. Only our Scrooge has always been a conscientious capitalist who has always put humanism and humanism in front of making money (under the guise of doing so). will make such a conscientious choice, rather than lose money, but also protect life. What a great spirit!

Of course, Scrooge, who has repeatedly performed miraculous feats in the war of germs and ushered in a new era of mankind's victory over infectious diseases, has not been able to deal with these tropical infectious diseases, and has to retreat in front of them. If there was no Scrooge before the performance. Then it is nothing more than more dead workers, anyway, workers are not worth much, and they can definitely solve the problem if they die tens of thousands of thousands. But after Scrooge's coercive performance, anyone who dares to do this will be completely inhuman, and will be spurned by people all over the world with a sense of justice, then they will, well, follow the old path of Mr. Stanford, anyway, they will definitely be knocked to the ground by the forces of the whole world who love humanity and insist on justice, and then step on 10,000 feet, and never turn over.

So, in this way, when will this canal be developed, the initiative is really all in the hands of Scrooge, and when it comes to the necessary need to really develop, Scrooge claims that he has made a technological breakthrough and can deal with such a disease, and then all kinds of mosquito repellent potions and organophosphorus pesticides are scarcely used, and the canal will naturally be through. As a result, the history of mankind's victory over infectious diseases will leave a strong and colorful mark. And the glorious image of Scrooge, who fell from where and got up from, persevered in the battle, and finally made an indelible great contribution to mankind's victory over the disease, is naturally more and more admirable. Many years later, when people talk about the Panama Canal, the tens of thousands of Japanese workers who died will be turned into bright red oil paints that set off Scrooge's humanitarian and scientific spirit.

A week later, the first case of yellow fever appeared. However, according to the script, this time is still a time of negligence due to pride. So the doctors gave him a heroin, suppressed the symptoms, and let it go.

A day later, more cases began to appear. Of course, the solution at this time is to take a sulfonamide (which has no effect) and then a heroin (to cover up the symptoms). As a result, all the patients felt comfortable and there were no problems. But that night, a strong wind suddenly blew and it rained heavily. In the darkness of the night, in the midst of the boundless rainstorm, the Japanese workers in the workers' camp seemed to hear a strange, mournful cry coming from the vast jungle outside. The cry was high and low in the sound of the rainstorm, and if there was no one, it was terrifying to hear. This may be the cry of the rainforest spirit, warning it: "The great plague, the great plague is coming!" "But Scrooge, who slept peacefully on the soft bed of Duckburg, thousands of miles away, with Dorothea's naked and delicate body in his arms, could not hear this voice. Of course, if he hears it, maybe this unruly fellow will add: "Let the plague come more violently!" ”
