"Is there a flu outbreak?" Muyang asked.

Professor Baptiste was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bit of bitterness on his face: "Yes, the flu has broken out, it seems that you have studied this disease very deeply, otherwise you would not have asked such a question." Now that the hospitals in Paris are overcrowded, and we are helpless against the flu, no medicine will work very well, and the French government has ordered a local quarantine and martial law. ”

"What about the rest of the world, is it only Paris?" Mu Yang asked.

"Not only Paris, but all the places I know, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and even China, Japan, have already had a forecast of this disease, we have found that this disease is very similar to the flu, all the symptoms are similar, but the use of drugs to treat the flu, but the effect is very small, and this flu, the younger and stronger the young people, the more likely they are to be infected, and the more difficult to treat, which is very puzzling to us, you know, ordinary flu, young people's resistance is stronger than weak people." Professor Baptiste said puzzled.

"It's God's punishment." Mu Yang shook his head and whispered.

"Mr. Williams, medicine is scientific, it's just a flu, please don't pull it on God." Bernard, the young assistant next to Professor Baptiste, said with a mocking look on his face.

"Don't you believe in God?" Mu Yang glanced at the guy who had been holding his neck up and said.

"I believe it, but I don't believe in any God's punishment, and the Chinese witch doctor you used may not be effective, it may just happen that Alan Swift himself is better, this is not without precedent." Bernard said in a strange way.

Muyang's evaluation of him is. Arrogance, may have a bit of talent. But it's very immature to behave in the world.

"Then you can continue to study your science, why did you come to me."

Bernard's face flushed at Muyang's words. But there was nothing to say. Now that the whole of France is helpless against this disease, what can he do. And he didn't believe that a soldier like Muyang would have a way to treat this disease, so from the beginning, he was full of distrust of Muyang, so he spoke and acted with a little contempt.

"Okay Bernard." Professor Baptiste scolded his young assistant, and then said to Muyang: "Mr. Williams, I represent the French National Academy of Medicine. You are invited to participate in our research. ”

"I'm sorry Professor Baptiste, I'm a soldier, and I'm still in the middle of the war, so I can't leave my post without permission, so I can't promise you." Mu Yang replied.

Is it meaningful to study the treatment of influenza with the French, Muyang is British, and his family is also in the UK, even if he has made great achievements in France. How useful is it?

Muyang said goodbye and left, and returned to his country house to continue his vacation.

Professor Baptiste did not give up, and he approached the commander of the coalition forces, Ferdinand. General Foch, Muyang's excuse is that he is at war. He asked General Foch to send Muyang to the French Academy of Medical Sciences to participate in research work.

However, Muyang is British, and although General Foch is the commander of the coalition forces, he is not interested in transferring an Englishman out of the army. That's not something he could do, for the name Joseph Williams. General Foch already had some impressions, and now he heard it again. There was also some surprise. However, for the sake of France's safety, he still gave the British commander Douglas . General Haig wrote a letter.

And in Douglas. On General Haig's desk, there were now two documents, one was a letter from General Foch from the French army, and the other was a telegram from the British mainland.

Muyang received an order from the British command, he was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and immediately after another order, that is, to transfer him back to the British mainland, the Royal Society sent a letter to the British War Secretary, asking Muyang to be transferred back to the United Kingdom to study ways to deal with the flu.

The Royal Society, the full name of the "Royal Society for the Promotion of Natural Knowledge in London", is the most powerful organization in Britain, founded in 1660, it plays the role of the National Academy of Sciences in the United Kingdom, his status in the United Kingdom is undoubted, the British royal family is his first protector.

Bidding farewell to his close comrades-in-arms, after more than ten days, Muyang finally returned to London. Before leaving, Muyang went to the field hospital and prepared to say goodbye to Lena, but the people in the hospital told him that Lina went to the front line, and Muyang missed this lovely girl, and he couldn't even say goodbye before leaving.

The Royal Society, the Medical and Natural Sciences Branch, Mu Yang met with the President of the Society, George. Sir Potter.

George. Potter was very kind, wearing a pair of glasses, with a pale face and beard, and the appearance of an elder, "Welcome to you, Mr. Williams, I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”

"Professor Potter, you can call me Joseph, I'm sorry I came from France and was delayed on the way." Muyang took off his hat and said politely.

"It's because I'm anxious, now there is a flu in many parts of the UK, and there is no good way for the hospital, and the medical association has also invested a lot of scholars to study this problem together, but there are still no good results."

"Joseph, I saw Elver's paper on the lancet, you graduated from Cambridge Medical School, you successfully treated a dying patient, you used a variety of methods, and proposed some very specific and novel methods, I sent someone to call you, just to know what you know about this flu, and whether your methods worked."

"Now that some people have suggested that this is not a simple flu, but a plague, we are all worried that if that is the case, it will be a disaster." George. Professor Potter said earnestly.

Mu Yang organized his language a little and said, "If I know it, yes, I think this is a plague, and we must raise our awareness and treat him as a war." Muyang felt that he should issue a warning, although some people have realized the seriousness of the problem now, but it has not yet been widely recognized, in fact, this is the biggest reason for the death of 40 million people in the world in the end.

"Do you think so too, tell me what you think." George. Potter asked curiously.

"I think it's a new virus, different from the previous flu virus, but the basic symptoms are similar, so I mistook it for the flu, but the treatment didn't have any effect, and that's why." Muyang said.

"New virus." George. Potter was lost in thought.

Since 1676, the Dutchman Leeuwenhoek first observed bacteria with a homemade microscope, thus revealing a world of microorganisms that no one knew about before. In 1898, the Dutch bacteriologist Bergerinck discovered the existence of viruses and bacteria through experiments, called "infectious living fluids", and named the virus, with the Latin name "Virus". This is the first time the word Virus has appeared.

The medical community has now generally recognized that viruses are one of the root causes of disease, but everyone is at a loss for this little guy who can't see or touch, and doesn't know the characteristics, even if Muyang says that this is a new type of virus, Professor Potter can only express helplessness.

In fact, in the 21st century, people are helpless about the new virus most of the time, otherwise the disease will not take the lives of tens of millions of people around the world every year. (To be continued......)
