Confirming the effect of White Tiger Soup is only the first step. Even further proof of the efficacy of "Qingwen Septic Drink" is only the first step. There is still a considerable gap between these two things and Scrooge's ultimate goal - antiviral oral liquid. In later generations, the Chitu Kingdom carried out extensive health and immunization popularization work after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Because the industrial capacity was not strong enough at that time, many Western medicines could not be produced by themselves, and at the same time, the rabbits lacked a little money in their hands, and generally could not afford to use the tall imported Western medicines. Therefore, they can only play the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine, which is more convenient and saves money.

In the battle against the virus, hundreds of medical rabbits spent five years on the basis of Baihu soup and Qingwen septic drink to develop an antiviral oral liquid, which is a broad-spectrum antiviral drug that has a very good therapeutic effect on dozens of viruses, especially most influenza viruses, with an effective rate of more than 90%. Compared to its source, the White Tiger Soup and the Qingwen Septic Drink, the effect of this medicine is really much better.

Therefore, this antiviral oral liquid is the real goal of Scrooge. Compared with the Red Rabbit Kingdom decades later, there is still some gap in the scientific level in the hands of Scrooge. But Scrooge felt that he also had advantages in some aspects, first of all, Scrooge knew the direction and knew that this thing could succeed, so Scrooge dared to throw money into it. Secondly, the research of this drug itself does not require too high technology, it really needs a lot of experiments. And in this regard, Scrooge felt that he had a complete advantage. Scrooge was able to easily find a large number of patients of all kinds in Asia, and in many places, he could use these people as experimental materials almost without limit, and even asked them for money while using them as experimental materials.

In addition, Scrooge knew how big a market this thing would have in the event of an outbreak of the Spanish flu in the future. Therefore, Scrooge is willing and able to invest more money in this than in the Red Rabbit Country in the early seventies. More money means more experiments in the same amount of time.

Between Samar and Mindanao there is a nameless island that is not too big. The island is larger than four square kilometres in size and has not been developed because it is not close to shipping routes. The island is steep on three sides, with only one side being flat and a short stretch of sandy beach, but there are quite a few reefs on the coast on this side. Therefore, it is not easy to get to this island. However, one of the rare things about this island is that there is fresh water on it. Fresh water is almost one of the most important resources in the island environment, and with it, there is a possibility of long-term inhabitation on the island. In fact, this nameless island is also inhabited, and an indigenous tribe of about a few dozen people lives on this small island. They usually make a living by rowing canoes and fishing near the islands.

Early that morning, Vanu was rowing his canoe and preparing to go out to sea to fish, when he saw a large boat coming towards the island. Vanu had seen some of these big ships, and he knew that these big ships were full of white-skinned people. These whiteskins are very fierce, and many nearby tribes have been wiped out by these whiteskins. So Vanu was frightened, and hurriedly rowed the boat behind a reef and hid.

The boat came to a stop about six or seven hundred meters from the island, and then a small boat was lowered from the big boat, and a few white skins got onto the small boat, and then the small boat rowed towards the island. After a while, the boat was on the beach, and Vanu saw several white skins jump from it, and then spread out a three-legged stand that looked like a boil for water or barbecue. There was still a tube on the shelf, and then a few white skins were busy around the thing for a while, and then they carried it again, and turned it to another place, and then repeated it again.

Vanu didn't know what those people were doing, and he didn't know what that kind of thing was on a tripod. However, he knew that most of the time when the white skin went to the island, it would be fine. Seeing that no one seemed to notice him, Vanu quietly rowed his canoe towards the beach on the other side, where there were more reefs, and even if the white skin spotted him, he would probably not dare to chase him.

Vanu landed on the other side, tied the canoe to a reef, and made his way through the dense rainforest of the island towards the place where the tribe lived, and he was about to report the arrival of the white skins on the island.

……

"As long as we clean up the reef from here here, we can easily build a dock that can dock small boats of about 500 tons." Engineer Rodriguez said to Francis, the representative of the company standing next to him, "It's fast, a small pier can be built in less than a week." But the lab or something is much slower. First of all, you have to clear a large area of rainforest. Cut down trees, use DDT in large quantities to get rid of mosquitoes or something...... Oh, by the way, there seems to be an indigenous population on this island, right? While you are clearing the rainforest, I'm afraid you'll have to clear them too. Then there is the construction of houses, cisterns, hell, and the installation of electrical equipment...... It would be insane to install a completely independent power generation plant on such a small island! In short, it will take half a year to build these infrastructures...... Hell, what the hell are you going to study on this desert island? ”

This desert island became famous, and many years later, in various thrillers about the plague and something, this small island that came to be known as the Red Island made frequent appearances. Because this island has the world's longest, most advanced equipment, and the largest laboratory for dangerous germs and viruses.

Decades later, the laboratory was protected more tightly than a nuclear power plant. The island's rainforest is largely gone, and all the ground is covered with thick concrete. U.S. Marine Corps units are stationed on the outskirts of the island, and twelve nautical miles around the island are set as exclusion zones. The island's laboratory complex is enclosed by a thick reinforced concrete safety cover, like a containment shell for a nuclear power plant. The whole laboratory is completely isolated from the outside world, even the air cannot flow freely, and the air entering this laboratory has gone through several rounds of disinfection, and the air coming out of here is even more so, they even have to be heated to 600 degrees Celsius for 30 seconds before they can be discharged from here. Everyone who enters the laboratory, which looks like a giant tomb from the outside, is also carefully disinfected, and then changed into a set of work clothes that are sealed like a spacesuit in a sterile environment. The overalls are fully integrated, the helmet, gloves, and mask cannot be opened by themselves, and it is impossible for a person to put them on or off by himself, and he must help others to do so. This also avoids the possibility of contracting the virus due to personal mishandling. Any researcher, once in this laboratory, is like entering space. It's completely cut off from the world, and when he's going to get out of here, it's even more troublesome than going back to Earth from space, because he's going to have to stay in quarantine for a long time to make sure he doesn't take some of the extremely dangerous viruses out there. In this laboratory, viruses such as smallpox, Ebola, Marburg, hantan, salad fever, rabies, dengue fever, and various influenza (including the Spanish flu) are preserved, as well as plague, anthrax, tuberculosis, plum. Poisonous, typhoid, Salmonella, carbophilus and so on and so on and so on and so on. Legend has it that there may be some superviruses or super-germs created through genetic engineering.

However, this was the case many years later, and at this time, due to the limitations of the level of technology and the different social pressures, the protective measures here could not be compared with later generations. Scrooge chose this place to build his laboratory of germs and viruses, mainly because of these points.

First of all, this is the Philippines, which is completely under the control of the United States, and it is easy to solve anything that happens. Secondly, it is far away from the crowds, in case something does not lead to a large-scale infection. In case there is any infection, it is also in the Philippines, which is far away from the mainland of the United States. It's not on the route, it's more hidden. There is fresh water here and maintenance is cheap. As for the various high-level anti-infection safety measures, there were really not many at that time.

……

As Rodriguez expected, in less than a week, the marina was almost complete. And at the same time as the construction of the dock side, a group of Blackwater mercenaries of up to one hundred and fifty people landed on the island. According to the legal contract signed between Scrooge and the U.S. government, the U.S. government sold the island to Scrooge, and now Scrooge is the only legitimate owner of the island, as for the natives who have illegally occupied Scrooge's private island for a long time, Scrooge graciously decided not to charge them for accommodation and their fees for hunting, fishing, and cutting trees in Scrooge's private land, but now that the island is going to come in handy, those illegal residents should of course honestly withdraw from Scrooge's private landIsn't that a matter of course?

However, the barbarians were uncivilized, and Scrooge had a notice on the coast ordering the illegal inhabitants to quit immediately (it didn't make a difference in English, because the natives had no writing at all) for twenty-four hours, and then the illegal settlers still defied Scrooge's legal rights and refused to stop encroaching on Scrooge's sacred and inviolable private property. Therefore, in desperation, Scrooge had no choice but to let the people of Blackwater come and reason with those natives.
