Chapter 95: Making a Vaccine?

The carriage was full of masks.

"Sun Wu asked people to distribute masks from the carriage, and every policeman had to wear a mask." Zhou Xian said.

Zhou Xian put on a mask and picked up a few more masks, and walked towards the fifty-six community, Zhou Fugui and Sun Wu also immediately put on masks and caught up with Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian and the three of them soon came to the patient's house, which was a large villa, and it seemed that several of them had made a lot of money doing business.

The three brothers were infected with smallpox, and on the way back from Jiangnan, the three of them somehow contracted smallpox, and just arrived in Xingjing today with symptoms of smallpox, high fever, headache, and vomiting.

There was a doctor and three women in the house, and three children of eight or nine years old.

"Who are you, and what are you doing in our house?" A woman saw Zhou Xian and the others come in and asked.

"This is our president, Zhou Xian." Sun Wu spoke.

When everyone in the room heard that Zhou Xian, the supreme ruler of Xingjing, was coming, they hurriedly knelt down, "Xiaomin has seen the president. ”

"Get up, put your mask on, I have something to ask you." Zhou Xian waved his hand.

Then he handed the mask to the doctor and the three women.

Everyone no longer hesitated to put on their masks, and the three children also put on their masks.

"How many days have you been back? Where have you been since you returned to Xingjing? After seeing them wearing masks, Zhou Xian asked.

"My father-in-law just came back this morning and got sick and hasn't been anywhere else." One woman replied.

"Now take the child to another room, do not go near the patient's room, and as for the doctor, do not go out for the time being, but find a house in this villa for a few days." Zhou Xian said with a sigh of relief.

"I still have patients in the hospital, I'm going back." The doctor spoke.

"From now on, no one is allowed to leave this house, and whoever dares to go out will be arrested and put in prison." Zhou Xian said with a cold face.

Hearing Zhou Xian's words, everyone no longer dared to speak.

Then Zhou Xian said: "What do you need, I will send someone to send it to you, someone will bring you food every day, you can rest assured, the reason why you are not allowed to go out is because I am afraid that you will be infected, and then infect others, you will be wronged, wait here for a few days, I will come up with a way as soon as possible." ”

When everyone heard Zhou Xian say that they wanted to find a way, they all thought that Zhou Xian was comforting everyone.

Smallpox is a disease that has lasted for thousands of years, what can be done? It can only depend on the will of God, this is the doctor's thought at this time.

Zhou Xian didn't pay attention to everyone's thoughts, and after arranging it, he walked out of the fifty-six community.

Early the next morning, Zhou Xian came to the Medical School of Xingjing University.

The medical school now has more than 120 students, and Zhou Peng and Zhou Mo serve as class presidents and deputy class presidents in it.

As soon as Zhou Xian walked into the classroom of the medical school, he said straight to the point: "Students, the time to test you has come, we Xingjing have found smallpox patients. ”

"What?"

"Smallpox?"

"This is a terminal illness!"

"We Xingjing actually have smallpox? What can I do? ”

"What now?"

Looking at the chaotic students below, Zhou Xian knocked on the table hard.

"Quiet down, what is this like?"

The students fell silent when they heard Zhou Xian's reprimand.

Zhou Xian looked at the students who had calmed down again and said, "Smallpox is not so terrible, as long as we do a good job of protection, wear masks, and isolate smallpox patients, there will be nothing at all." ”

Hearing Zhou Xian's words, the students were also relieved.

"Actually, smallpox can be prevented, as long as everyone is vaccinated with cowpox, they will be immune to smallpox." Zhou Xian continued.

There are four kinds of pox methods in ancient China: the earliest pox method is the pox clothing method, in which the underwear of smallpox patients is put on by healthy people to cause infection.

The second is the pox pulp method, in which cotton is dipped in the syrup of the patient's acne and then stuffed into the nostrils of a healthy person.

The third is the dry seedling method, in which the acne scab is ground into fine powder and blown into the nostrils of healthy people with a silver tube.

The fourth is the water seedling method, in which the scabs are ground and mixed with water, and the cotton is dipped and stuffed into the nostrils of healthy people.

The early vaccines for pox were directly taken from patients, and the ancients called them "Shi Miao", which was very dangerous, which was equivalent to infecting smallpox with artificial methods.

It was the invention of the ancient Chinese pox planting technique that brought hope to mankind to defeat smallpox.

"Headmaster, what does immunity mean?" Zhou Mo asked a little uncertainly.

"Immunity is a strain response of our body, simply put, after immunization, you will not be infected with smallpox again." Zhou Xian explained.

The students gasped, and according to the principal, they were no longer afraid of smallpox after vaccination.

"Teacher, what is cowpox?" Zhou Peng asked a question that everyone wanted to ask.

"Cowpox is the pustule formed by a cow infected with smallpox, and cowpox does not cause any harm to our body, at most it only causes a small scar."

Then Zhou Xian taught the method of vaccinating cowpox to the medical students through a mysterious ball of light.

When the medical students understood the effects of cowpox, they became solemn.

After seeing that the students understood, Zhou Xian asked the production of the medical school to look for the cattle infected with smallpox.

Medical students walked out of the school and asked around for smallpox cows.

Zhou Xian summoned all the cadres to the Great Hall for a meeting.

After everyone came to the Great Hall, they asked about the purpose of this meeting, although Sun Wu and Zhou Fugui knew the reason, but they were not in the mood to say, they just sat quietly in their seats, waiting for Zhou Xian's arrival.

After a while, Zhou Xian walked in and walked directly to the podium.

"Today's convening of a meeting is to announce a very urgent matter, that is, we have smallpox patients in Xingjing." Zhou Xian said in a solemn tone.

Zhou Xian's words were like a bomb, and immediately everyone below exploded.

"What? Smallpox? ”

"Is smallpox again?"

"Could it be that our Xingjing is going to be in calamity this time?"

"What now?"

Everyone was at a loss.

Zhou Xian looked at the scene below and frowned, "Quiet, everyone listen to me!" ”

When everyone heard Zhou Xian's words, they immediately stopped talking, and the hall was quiet again.

"Panic can't solve the problem now, what we need to do is to bring the smallpox epidemic under control." Zhou Xian made a fist with his right hand and said.

"President, smallpox is an ancient infectious disease, no one has ever cured smallpox, how can we control it?" Zhang Changfeng asked worriedly.

"There's nothing to be afraid of smallpox, do you remember what I told you about microbes? In fact, smallpox is caused by a microorganism, which I call a virus. Zhou Xian explained to everyone.

At this time, everyone remembered that Zhou Xian had talked about the knowledge of microorganisms before, and they had also seen microorganisms under the microscope.

After everyone knows the cause of smallpox, they are no longer so afraid of smallpox, it turns out that smallpox is only caused by some microorganisms, so as long as we don't let the microbes enter our body, won't we be fine?

People are often most afraid of the unknown, and once they know the reason, they will not be so afraid.
