Chapter 52: The Plague
Xu Mochen didn't expect that his immortal fate system could still have such a function.
Teleportation is equivalent to teleportation, speed first, and he knows that the fastest speed in the universe is light, and the same is true for electromagnetic waves.
So, this gives the whole ring armature generator?
Looking at it like this, it should be an early finished product, but with this, there is great hope for generating electricity in this world.
Xu Mochen chose to exchange without hesitation.
However, he didn't rush to take out the ring armature generator, after all, this thing was too shocking, even more terrifying than the antibiotics he was tinkering with.
If you do get a call, then what can you do?
Although he knew that things would certainly not be easy.
Xu Mochen, who retreated, still had a "bang" beating in his little heart.
This world is a world where you can cultivate immortals, but it doesn't mean that some science and technology are not applicable.
Immortal cultivators may scoff, after all, they can illuminate a palace with a magic weapon such as a night pearl.
However, for the Terrans, technology still has a certain significance.
Xu Mochen didn't think about leading the human race to kill the immortal cultivators, after all, this was unrealistic.
What he wanted to do was to achieve a certain level of dialogue between the two.
That means strengthening the overall strength of the Terrans.
There is hope!
In the next few days, Xu Mochen braked quietly, wanting to see what moves the courtiers would make.
But since Concubine Xian entered the palace, except for the political envoy Shen Changfeng to express his gratitude and a large group of people to congratulate him, everything has been calm.
Whether it is the affairs of Qizhou or the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it seems that for them, they are insignificant.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Xu Mochen maintains a high degree of vigilance.
He was particularly worried about Zhao Lingbo's mortals, if the protection was not effective, the entire army would be wiped out and the losses would be great.
In a state of panic, he finally ushered in a change.
On this day, he and Zhao Lingbo were communicating in depth in the imperial study, and there was a sound of falling leaves outside the door, and then Tang Derun's voice sounded: "Your Majesty, something is wrong." ”
Xu Mochen and Zhao Lingbo glanced at each other, the latter retreated slightly, and Xu Mochen nodded: "Come in." ”
Tang Derun came in, his expression was rare and a little flustered, and he just nodded to Zhao Lingbo and greeted: "The county lord is also here."
Your Majesty, news has just come from a small town around the capital that there is a serious plague there. ”
"The plague?" Xu Mochen also stood up, the plague in this era has a high fatality rate for mortals, "Now that the cold winter has passed, the spring season is blooming, and everything is normal recently, how can the plague happen." ”
"The matter is still under investigation," Tang Derun handed over the report, "Wechen has already transferred the embroidery envoy, and at the same time informed the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, and at that time will take timely action to seal the town." ”
Xu Mochen frowned: "The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is not in our hands, can the court officials agree?" ”
"The plague is very harmful to mortals," Tang Derun reported, "and they will not stand idly by."
It's just that His Majesty has to know in his heart, after all, immortal cultivators don't pay much attention to mortal affairs outside the court. ”
In other words, immortal cultivators won't let the situation get out of control, but they can't be expected to come to the rescue.
It's like a big pigsty, some pigs are sick, you have to pay attention to isolation, as for life and death, as long as most of the pigs in the pigsty are okay.
Xu Mochen clenched his fists: "Aiqing arranged, I want to go to the town." ”
"The courtiers will go too," Zhao Lingbo volunteered, "Since it is a plague, the courtiers' medical skills may be able to help." ”
"Inform the people at the National Medical Center," Xu Mochen instructed, "to get them ready."
Do you know what the plague is. ”
Ancient plagues were actually infectious diseases, and there were many types.
In the era when medical skills were not developed, they could only be sealed and isolated, and then let them fend for themselves.
"It's not clear," Tang Derun followed him, "Wechen suspected...... I'm afraid it is inseparable from some people in the DPRK. ”
Xu Mochen smiled, he was very death-bearing, and actually used mortals as a tool to test and threaten me.
Very good, such an existence is not worthy of the word "immortal" at all!
"In addition, you must also be careful, whether it is a trap to lure Your Majesty there," Tang Derun is not without brains, "Your Majesty's action, it is better to be hidden." ”
Xu Mochen nodded, fortunately, the town where the accident happened was just around the capital, and it didn't take much time to come and go.
Because Zhao Lingbo was with him, Xu Mochen had no choice but to take a carriage and gallop all the way.
When I arrived, I smelled wormwood, mixed with the smell of quicklime burning.
Wormwood can be sterilized and disinfected, and quicklime can also keep bacteria out, and at least in ancient times, it was a common means of stopping the spread of the plague.
But Xu Mochen knew that some plagues could not be relied on by such means.
Most importantly, find the cause and source of the infection.
The entrance to the town has been sealed by the embroidered envoy, and there is also an army along with it, which is the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division.
The one who led the troops, but Xu Mochen knew that it was Du Yu, the Terran general in the unification war that year.
These five city soldiers and horses are actually the troops guarding the five gates of the capital, east, west, south, north and middle, the number is not large, but it is elite, and it has always belonged to the military department, which is equivalent to the capital guard.
The commander of the Terracotta Division, called the commander, has a small official position, so he serves as some Terran soldiers.
"Your Majesty," Na Du Yu stepped forward and saluted, "After receiving the order of the military department Shangshu, the last general immediately brought his troops over, and now he is coordinating with the commander of the embroidered envoy." ”
"The surrounding area must be fully guarded for the time being," Xu Mochen got out of the carriage, "If there are sick people who come out of the mountain roads and enter the capital, it will be very bad." ”
"The last general understands," Du Yu asked, "then...... If the people act excessively......"
That is, in isolation, in the face of the fear of the plague, the common people may riot.
Xu Mochen has read the history books, and there is only one act of treating such a thing in history: kill!
"Block them with arrows," he is not a White Lotus False Bodhisattva, "they are really disobedient, shoot them in the thighs and make them lose their mobility."
If it doesn't work, you must not let them out. ”
This is the final instruction, Du Yu commanded.
Zhao Lingbo sighed: "I hope it doesn't come to that point." ”
But this kind of thing, who can guarantee.
Under the domination of fear, in the face of absolute death, people will go crazy.
It's just that Xu Mochen's consciousness swept away: "Tang Aiqing, do you think that this town is a little strange." ”
There is a plague, and it is normal to hear crying or shouting.
But the town is a little eerily quiet.
Tang Derun looked sideways at Du Yu: "General Du, is there any other reason?" ”
Du Yu nodded: "Your Majesty, that's the case, there are already doctors inside who are taking in and treating patients."
They also looked for the last general, and asked for more than a dozen soldiers who were not afraid of death, and resettled the townspeople together.
So for a short time, there was no conflict. ”
Physician? Xu Mochen and the three of them looked at each other, what kind of doctor, so bold.
"Do you know what happened?" Xu Mochen asked.
"I don't know," Du Yu replied truthfully, "it's an old man and a young girl, who are said to be traveling doctors, and it was an accident to come here, and it happened to be a plague." ”
Zhao Lingbo's eyes flashed: Girl?
Isn't that the same as yourself?
