In the Royal Laboratory of the Imperial Capital, large medical response instruments are in operation, which were purchased from the Gun Flame Territory at the beginning of this year. As a medical experimental instrument, the temperature control and pressure control amplitude are much lower than that of chemical instruments, but the sensitivity is two or three decimal places higher.

There is no traditional instrument panel on the whole device, and it is all electronic quartz display, which means that this batch of equipment uses new electronic technology.

Example 1: The test temperature is not a mercury measurement of thermal expansion and contraction, but a metal platinum wire thermal resistance thermometer.

2: The test internal pressure is not an ordinary hydraulic oil pointer dashboard, but a pressure tester that changes the resistance due to the deformation of the sensor under pressure.

The Gunflame family dominated the alliance of mechanic makers across the country, integrated technological research and development capabilities, and at the same time used political strength to intervene in medical care and artificial food, two industries with extremely high barriers and high political discourse under the feudal family system in the past, through the relationship between West's Fengyuan family and the Blood Rose family. It has brought revolutionary changes to those non-arms industry technology fields.

Xiyun had a clear understanding of Binghe's every move, and naturally knew that Binghe had developed medical equipment, so he wrote to Binghe to ask for this set of equipment. Binghe quickly delivered the goods, and three mechanics were dispatched to prepare the medical equipment on site.

Xi Yun, who was sitting behind the factory desk, held Binghe's letter, his beautiful eyes widened, and he seemed to be very puzzled by the meaning of Binghe's letter, while in front of Xiyun, the three mechanics were speechless.

The mechanic from the Gunflame family naturally knew what was written on the letter.

Ten days ago, Binghe personally debugged these medical machines, and before leaving, he instructed the three mechanics to get the equipment cost back, and not to let the royal family eat for nothing. - Binghe does not seem to have considered the delivery party to be his fiancée.

Although companies in the 21st century cannot avoid the influence of family and friends on the company's financial decisions, they absolutely avoid any family relationships and make clear financial registration.

But in this feudal era, it was absolutely common for the people below to confuse the relationship between relatives and friends and the company. In order to cope with the challenges of feudal culture, in order to prevent the people below from fooling around, and in order to reward and punish the people below, the system must of course be implemented from itself.

Binghe's letter to Her Royal Highness Princess Xiyun gave Princess Xiyun two debt repayment plans.

First: a one-time payment of 150,000 lire for the equipment.

Second: to build a pharmaceutical factory, and the United Industry Union Investment holds 30% of the shares.

In the office of the metal skull heavenly spirit cover in the medical and pastoral area,

Xiyun put down the letter and said to the three mechanics with a smile: "What else did you say about the wood?" ”

A mechanic said: "Your Highness, Your Highness is very supportive of Your Highness's scientific research, and Your Majesty is willing to personally provide His Highness with 150,000 lire research expenses. ”

The mechanic pulled out a handwritten remittance slip that needed to be signed by Xiyun at the cash collection.

Seeing this, Xiyun's eyes showed a little confusion, she didn't understand why Binghe wanted to go around this complicated circle, but after thinking about it a little, she reluctantly connected with Binghe's thoughts.

As a formal engagement, the two are about to be combined into a family as a whole, and their private financial contacts are beyond reproach.

In the eyes of Gunflame and Saint Sauk, Binghe and Xiyun are political marriages, while Binghe himself tries to separate marriage and politics.

The 150,000 lira is the money that Binghe has prepared for his fiancée's work, but it must not be misunderstood as the group behind Binghe can be taken by the royal family.

Xiyun twisted up this fluttering piece of paper, shook his head with a smile and said, "Go back and tell him that at most, one percent will be shared, and the rest, he will get more." ”

[The pharmaceutical equipment was asked for by Xiyun, and the reason why Xiyun asked for these pharmaceutical equipment was for a plan. There was an element of consideration in her plan, but of course it was just her idea. 】

In the early spring of 1030, a man-made disaster appeared in the territory of the empire.

With the Empire's rail network, goods were frequently exchanged with various large cities. A small rodent also made its way down the rail system, spreading a bacterium to many cities. In just three weeks, outbreaks broke out in the lower districts of various cities of the empire.

Although there were rich and splendid districts in the lower cities of the empire, there were many places where filth and dirt were hidden, and the slums lined with wooden houses were full of rotten vegetable leaves, garbage heaps, excrement, and mosquitoes.

In these poor places, many people have sneezing, coughing, vomiting blood, fainting and high fever, and these poor people have died silently in their homes, and their bodies have been dragged outside the city by the collectors, wrapped in sacks, loaded with stones, and thrown into rivers or natural muddy ponds.

For the Empire, when these people die, they die, and every year in the entire Empire, the old and the weak die of sickness, and no one feels anything.

Of course, as time went on, the epidemic spread to the more affluent, middle-class urban areas, and doctors began to get busy, but doctors confirmed that the disease had the same characteristics.

The corpses of the dead patients, all blackened, protruding with wide-open eyes, were in terrible pain. This is a symptom of the plague.

The nobility of the entire imperial city finally got serious, the plague is not surprising in the imperial beast calendar and beyond, a plague took the lives of tens of millions of people, and the fear caused by the great plague in history spread within the empire.

The plague caused by bacteria is mainly highly contagious, and the fatality rate is 'not high', of course, this 'not high' is a premise - antibiotics.

In the 21st century, since the spread of antibiotic production, there has never been a huge plague like the Middle Ages, which harvested city after city at every turn. The slums of South America and India, with their population and sanitary infrastructure, would have been plagues of terrible horror in the Middle Ages.

But at this time in the Western Continent, antibiotics and other drugs were produced and controlled by medical priests. Although antibiotics have long been available, the technology of drug making, which evolved from alchemy, is seen by medical priests as a means to gain money and status. The production of antibiotics has always been to serve a small number of people.

The culture of the medical priest without the benevolence of the healer, after the end of the religious calendar, the medical priest who has lost his faith has two core spells that can make them stand by in the plague.

The first is cell regeneration, which allows the wound to heal quickly.

Second, it is microbial decomposition. It can directly dismantle the small structure of the same kind bacteria or viruses on a person's body.

These two types of spells date back to the Old Magic Era, namely healing (health increase) and negative status dispel.

The 'cold-bloodedness' of the contemporary grain makers comes from their helplessness with the social organization, while the 'cold-bloodedness' of the medical priests is that the plague is not their business.

And the empire's response to the plague is also extremely harsh.

[Spring is a season of life recovery, but the spring of St. Sauc in 1030 is panicked and bloody]

Among the many cities in the middle of St. Sauc.

The army drove a large number of people suspected of being infected into a square-like quarantine area. Of course, some segregation will be made beforehand, and the teenagers will be separated, and the younger women will be selected and placed separately.

These areas of separation are enclosed by a perimeter with heavy machine-gun emplacements. Every morning, soldiers wear protective clothing and go in to clear out a group of dead people. When more and more people died, the people inside the walls became more and more desperate, and when the despair reached a certain level, the order within the walls collapsed.

When it is determined that they are infected, few people will choose to wait quietly for death, but choose the last madness, doing all kinds of ugly and crazy things unscrupulously.

Whenever night falls, when the soldiers on the wall can't and don't want to take care of it because of the darkness, killing, violating, cannibalism, these extreme events will appear. Desperate, miserable, and cruel cries turned the quarantine area into a ghost.

Eventually, within a day or two, the entire quarantine area will be in the most chaotic state.

At that time, the outside world will not be able to clean up the corpses inside the quarantine area and test the condition of the patients.

Desperate patients will frantically storm the exit like a frenzied zombie, and this impact will eventually be completely terminated by heavy machine-gun fire.

In the event of such a breakdown of order within the wall, the soldiers enforcing the blockade will stop feeding the quarantined people and report that no one has survived.

After reporting that no one had survived, the lockdown lasted for four or five days, and when everyone in the quarantine area was dying, the army searched for survivors and burned their bodies.

These survivors are not necessarily lucky, as none of the previously reported survivors survived. The survivors are dead in the Imperial system, and they are first tested by the medical priests for antibodies to be immune to the plague, and then the survivors are thrown into the mines as slaves.

With every plague, the army that enforces quarantine has a windfall of human trafficking. The superiors knew about this situation but did not stop it, and there was no windfall to make a fortune, then the empire would not have an army willing to do the quarantine work.

[February 1030 of the steam calendar, a combat machinery laboratory of the Gun Flame Family]

Originally, in the new factory of the Gun Flame family, Bing He, who used a diode computer to check the pneumatic force algorithm, learned that the plague broke out in the south and the way the empire was handled, the pen in his hand slipped from his hand abruptly.

The news of the Southern Industrial Zone of the Imperial Capital made Binghe realize that he had ignored the major threats in the development of modern cities. Immediately take the train to the imperial capital, which is the most populous area of the empire.

On February 21, after Binghe arrived in the Imperial Capital Industrial Zone, it was found that a large number of Imperial Capital military police had blocked the factory. These Imperial gendarmes were bulging in their pockets, and it was clear that they had gained a lot of benefits from maintaining order in the factory quarters.

Binghe didn't have the energy to settle accounts with these people, so he went directly into the factory, but found that the quarantine area in the factory was very, very, very good, compared to the lack of medicine outside the imperial capital, the medicine in the factory was supplied by the imperial medical and pastoral area, it was simply heaven, and the people's hearts were quite stable.

After seeing the situation in the factory, Bing Core set off a bigger wave.

Since the Domain View could overlook the situation in the city, after seeing the situation in the other quarantine areas of the Empire, Binghe couldn't help but be shocked by the great horror. The situation of the virus in the quarantine area is more tragic than the flesh and blood of the battlefield.

The scene of famine and plague raging in the middle of people's lives and half death is the closest thing to the ghost scene. The people in the quarantine area, their hair messy like weeds, crumpled skin like tattered leather stuck to their bones, twitching twice from time to time to show that they are still alive, is a picture that is difficult to depict in any film production.

Binghe left the factory area without saying a word, and his gloomy expression made the gendarmerie officers in the factory who tried to pat themselves feel cold, and they repeatedly scolded their subordinates for fishing too much oil and water in the factory in the past few days, and their appearance was too ugly.

Sitting in his special car, Binghe coldly asked the knight on the side, "What's going on with the plague in the empire?" ”

The knight on the side said cryptically: "Your Majesty, the source of the plague, the leakage link has been controlled, and the empire is discussing how to deal with the plague incident." ”

Binghe was indignant: "Control like this? Just like that, you are going to isolate tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people who can't afford to buy drugs? ”

Knight: "What you said is not worth it for the Imperial Center to discuss. ”

The sick are now isolated, and both the military and the bureaucracy have been given enough medicines.

The death of a few million untouchables in the plague does not affect the rule of the Empire, the Empire's army, the Empire's bureaucracy, and its stable functioning. This is like the prosperous Kangqian era, there are still large and small famines in various places, but as long as the empire is stable, it will not care about these diseases of ringworm and scabies.

The knight's attitude stunned Binghe.

The knight took out a report that had been prepared and handed it to Binghe, and at the same time said, "Your Majesty, this death plague was originally intended to be released to the enemy in the south. However, the upper echelons of the empire mistakenly underestimated the spread of the plague. ”

After realizing that this was a man-made disaster, Bing Nuclear suppressed his emotions and tried to lower his voice and asked, "What do you mean?" This is a weapon, and the bacteria are of the Empire? The empire itself shoots itself in the foot? Binghe's subsequent tone was hard to hide his anger.

The knight looked at Bing and hinted vaguely: "Your Majesty, if the southern projection plan is controlled by the crown and the airship is launched across hundreds of kilometers, there will be no infection in the empire. But there are people in the empire who are simply not willing to let you do this. So there were too many transport links that were originally planned to be placed, so—" The knight didn't continue.

The knight, who looked at him, asked, "Gone?" ”

The knight looked at Binghe: "At present, this is the case, the members of the leaked link have been tried in a military court. ”

Binghe waved his hand to show that he knew, and spent a few minutes stringing all the clues together, logically reasoning about the cause and effect.

Binghe's face went from shock to anger to dumbness, and finally Binghe's face was calm, as if he should have understood the nature of this world a long time ago, but he had forgotten about it.

What's going on behind the Plague of Empires? Binghe already roughly knew that it was the product of the imperial capital's struggle for power and profit, but what made Binghe even more chilling was that that person actually intervened.

In fact, Binghe had already suspected her when he heard about the plague incident. Because it was too coincidental, the plague broke out not long after she asked for pharmaceutical equipment.

And this knight's subtle explanation made Binghe realize why she did this.

understands that she is now on her own interests, but Binghe cannot be in the same boat as her.

[An hour and a half later, the car was speeding on the sparsely populated road, and fifteen cars carrying more than a hundred soldiers followed]

On the vehicle headed by the convoy

The knight who followed Bing said to him, "I can't judge what Your Majesty is doing now. But the Imperial Capital asked me to tell His Majesty that you don't have to do this. ”

Binghe: "Tell the imperial capital that people must be saved now, and I won't ask for anything." Gunflame is now under the protection of Saint Sauce, and now many of the little people are also pinning their hopes on Gunfire, and they need stability. ”

The knight said, "Your Majesty, those who have been recalled by Heaven should not be withheld on earth. (Allusion left by the grain maker to save the world)

Binghe: "The point is not whether they should go to heaven or not, but the wrong way to go to heaven. Don't create hell on earth before you go to heaven. ”

The car drove through checkpoints, and along the way, the barbed wire fence was immediately pulled open as the soldiers saw the pass. Came to Quarantine Area 087, where 20,000 people were quarantined.

Binghe came to the wall of the quarantine area, and the stench came from his nose, and Binghe glanced at it and immediately deflected his eyes. But then he held back his discomfort and looked inside the wall.

Binghe said to the people inside the city wall with a loudspeaker: "Listen, the people inside! In ten minutes I will open the door and provide enough food, enough medicine, enough drinking water, and enough bedding, but you must keep order for me! ”

Binghe stepped off the high platform.

The knight asked, "Your Highness, do you want to go in?" It's been here..."

Binghe: "With a gun." Wear protective clothing. Come with me. ”

After putting on his uniform, Binghe put on a white protective suit and picked up his firearm, paused, and put down his firearm after some entertainment. Ran to the back of the car and took out a spray can like a fire extinguisher and an iron rod.

As the metal gate slowly opened a crack under the action of the gears, the ghoul-like people, looking out of the gate with red eyes, when they saw the muzzle of the soldier's gun.

These former civilians habitually retreated timidly, giving way to a semi-arc circle for the medical team. But it still formed a big circle.

Bing He, a member of the group of soldiers, pointed at the man leaning against the door with a can of spray and said, "Get back to me and squat on the ground." However, this sentence seems to provoke the tyranny of the people here, and those who have lost all trust in the world in despair will not pay any attention to any intimidation.

Thirty meters in front of Bingnu, a patient with a large red spot all over his body rose up with the strength of his whole body, let out a strange roar that did not look like a human being, and rushed up, and he obviously led other desperate people, who wanted to pass on the despair they had endured to others.

While the people around Binghe were about to shoot at these patients, Binghe flashed into the desperate crowd at a faster speed, and of course entered the muzzle of these soldiers. This caused the soldiers, who were about to fire, to immediately deflect their guns.

Binghe spanned twenty meters, and the steel rod in his hand stabbed through the person neatly, directly smashing the heart, and the victim did not suffer at all. Binghe didn't drag any mud and water, and directly carried a steel rod and poked at another person.

In just two seconds, three people fell to the ground, blood spurting from their chests. The extremely strong smell of blood washes away people's madness and helps them recall the fears they should have had in life.

The others were so frightened that they left plenty of room to stay away from Bingnu. If you use a literary adjective to match the temperament of nuclear killing, it is - bloody breath. Because at this time, the people around you will develop an instinctive fear in the face of Bingnu, which is the biological instinct of humans, and the fear that can only be experienced when encountering large carnivores such as tigers and lions that have failed to resist.

Binghe carried a large sprayer and continued to approach the group of desperate people who had woken up from their madness, and then pressed the gate of the spray can in his hand, and the chili oil spray sprayed violently from the spout on these people who were still hesitating and not knowing how to move or retreat.

The sharp pain in the eyes and mouth completely made these people lose their ability to resist, and they lay on the ground crying like pigs waiting to be slaughtered, expanding the deterrence of killing the three people dozens of times. And these people who fell to the ground also deprived the soldiers at the gate who were about to shoot from the opportunity to shoot.

"Monster - Demon - Death - Death is coming——?!" The people gathered farther away turned their heads and fled with heart-rending screams.

Watching these people flee, Binghe exhaled heavily.

Thousands of years ago, the knights also used their sophisticated equipment to deter the peasants, in fact, guns killed people more ruthlessly, but the process of bullets taking people's lives was too short, not as terrifying as the cold weapons pierced into and brought out a large piece of flesh and blood.

Hearing this, Binghe looked down at the blood stains on the gloves of the mechanical suit, he couldn't help but ask: "Monster? If the world is a mirror, then what am I like in the mirror? ”

The metal gate behind Binghe opened completely, and the man with a rapid-fire firearm followed in, immediately clamping Binghe in the center.

Then, before Binghe had time to stop it, the soldiers reopened their guns on those who had choked on chili oil.

Amid the gunfire in Area 087, rescue teams with medicines and medical equipment walked through the door and began this rescue without any basis of trust under the order maintained by violence.

The injection of antibiotics began, and these confused people in line received the process of medication under the arrangement of absolute power.

Binghe, who was a bystander, couldn't help but connect with the scene of the chickens on the farm receiving vaccinations.

Binghe, who lowered his head, said to himself: "People still have to be saved, I am not saving them, but saving myself." ”

In addition to the 087 quarantine area, outside the imperial capital area, other quarantine areas are also carrying out such rescues.

[Twelve hours later, Imperial Celestial Tower, Rooftop Garden]

Wearing a jeweled forehead ornament and dressed in an aqua blue dress, Xi Yun sat in the garden of the celestial glass room, with a crystal in her palm. In front of her, the development technique showed the scene of Binghe entering the 087 quarantine area and stabilizing the internal situation within tens of seconds.

Xiyun played it several times, her watery eyes were wide open, and she couldn't take her eyes off it, like a girl watching an idol's concert, but Zhu Li complained softly: "What a fool, I arranged it for you in vain." ”

With a clang, the sound from behind him made Xiyun quickly put away the recording crystal.

It was a medical pastor who came and took out a report when he saw Xiyun. The report reads the results of the royal investigation into the leakage of the plague virus.

Due to the leakage of the strain that Princess Caijing was responsible for, the empire canceled Princess Caijing's dominance of the research on death plague in the medical and pastoral area.

After Xiyun looked at the processing result, he smiled and raised the paper in his hand, and with a burst of light, the paper burned clean.
