November 1, 2759 (1918), Huangzhou City, Hubei.

The territory of Hubei Province on this plane is smaller than that of the Datu Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty and the original time and space in later generations, mainly because the newly built capital Hanjing has drawn a piece of the northern part of Xiangyang into the past, like what the old estuary and Danjiang estuary have become the capital area, since Hanjing has a "Han" character, of course it must be next to the Han River. Hubei is also the province of Henan, which is also missing a large chunk south of Nanyang, such as Xinye, Dengzhou and Tanghe, which flew away and became part of the Greater Capital Region.

Therefore, the administrative division of Hubei Province is a little different than at any other time, and there are a total of ten city-level administrative districts. For example, compared with the original time and space of the Great Map Dynasty, Western Hubei is still similar to the Great Map Dynasty, divided into Yunyang, Enshi, Yichang, Xiangyang, Jingmen, Jingzhou six cities and a Shennongjia forest area. The changes in eastern Hubei are relatively large, and it is currently divided into four cities: Suizhou, Wuhan, Xianning, and Huangzhou. Xiantao and Qianjiang were assigned to Jingzhou City, and Tianmen was assigned to Jingmen. Xiaogan City is gone, Hanchuan and Xiaogan counties are assigned to Wuhan, and the rest of the counties are merged into Suizhou City. Huangshi City was also gone, Huangshi and Daye were assigned to Wuhan City along with Ezhou in the northwest, and Yangxin was assigned to Xianning City.

At this time, in the countryside of Huangzhou City, a group of people were busy working in the water by the river, these people were wearing sealed rubber jumpsuits, and their whole bodies were tightly wrapped, and their whole bodies were exposed with a head exposed. They divided into several groups, some digging up the soil and water from the fields, some looking for something in the things, and some carrying soil and water samples to the shore and handing them over to the microscopes.

Lu Xiaming took the water sample sent by his colleague, poured it into the observation box and put it under the objective lens of the microscope, and leaned over to observe. After a few minutes, he began to fill out a form with his observations.

"Sample No.: 1726353, Sampling Location...... Test results: no schistosomiasis cateryceae and cercariae were found. Then, he signed his name behind the "inspector": Lu Xiaming. Well, his handwriting also follows the professional tradition of doctors, which is basically only known to pharmacists......

At this time, a person who looked like a village cadre came over and asked with a smile, "Doctor Lu, how are the results of the examination?"

"Oh, it's Township Chief Wang...... Lu Xiaming looked up and said: "Township Chief Wang, the situation in your township seems to be very good now, you see, up to now, we have sampled more than 3,000 soil and water samples, and the results are all zero! That's right, whether it is a snail or a larvae, it is zero." Look at ......," he said, handing over a copy of the examination record on the table.

"Ah, that's really good! In the past, once we went to work in the fields, everyone was scared, and even though there was protective equipment, everyone was not sure. The most important thing is that children are not sensible and like to play in the water, which is too dangerous. Now we can rest assured......" Township Chief Wang looked at the record and said happily.

Township Chief Wang quickly said with some hesitation: "But, Doctor Lu, is the result of such a sampling inspection accurate? Will there be any omissions?"

"Don't worry, we have a ...... for a decoy device," Lu Xiaming pointed to a device the size of a lunch box beside him. "The device simulates the body temperature and smell of mammals, and can emit a low-frequency sound wave that attracts cercariae within a 100-metre radius if placed in water. He pointed to the fields and said, "You see, we have this device in all the fields, and in the afternoon we will move the position again and check it again." After repeating it a few times, you can be sure. ”

"Okay, good, you guys are very responsible!"

The two chatted for a while, and Township Chief Wang left with a happy face.

Lu Xiaming: They are now reviewing the prevention and control of schistosomiasis, not only their group, but also in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as long as the epidemic has been found, the government has sent a large number of personnel to conduct a review. As of today, this year's review has come to an end, and the results are very good.

Since ancient times, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have been areas with a high incidence of schistosomiasis, and even the countryside near Hangzhou, which is known as a paradise on earth, is also a high-incidence area of schistosomiasis. In ancient times, due to the small population of the Yangtze River basin and the relative isolation between various places, this plague was not obvious. However, with the massive development of the Yangtze River basin and the increase in population, this disease has gradually become hideous.

Especially in modern times, there has been an increase in exchanges between regions, and migrants have brought the source of infection to non-endemic areas. In addition, in modern times, the construction of water conservancy facilities such as diversion canals in the Yangtze River basin, as well as many floods, have caused the spread of snails to non-epidemic areas, so that such intermediate hosts have also appeared in areas where there were no snails. So in the 20th century, this plague was very bad.

In history, Cao Cao's classmates suffered a big loss from schistosomiasis, and during the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao's army was overturned by the damned schistosomiasis. That's why he said: "The Battle of Chibi was worth the disease, and the lonely burning ship retreated, which made Zhou Yu get this name in vain." "The soldiers of Apu's classmates are all northerners, and they have no immunity to this epidemic at all, and they have become a vulnerable population, and they have no idea that there is such a plague in the south that will be infected if it gets wet.

In fact, during the 1949 battle of crossing the Yangtze River, tens of thousands of people in the Northeast Field Army were recruited and infected with schistosomiasis. When Napoleon's army was in Africa, soldiers also contracted the disease. However, the epidemic infection of these two armies did not change history, but Cao Cao was very unlucky, and his dream of unifying the world was robbed by schistosomiasis.

In the history of the original time and space, in the early days of the establishment of the Datu Dynasty, none of the 13 provinces and cities in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River were spared, and the number of sick people was as high as more than 10 million, and more than 3,000 people died of this parasitic disease in Yujiang County, Jiangxi Province alone. More than 20 villages around were destroyed miè,1. More than 40,000 acres of land are completely barren and uncultivated. Many of the village men are dead, and the few women who remain are dying. A scene of "thousands of villages and sparse people, and thousands of households singing". It took 20 years for the Great Tu Dynasty to basically get rid of this plague with the strength of the whole country.

To cure this plague, it is necessary to have a strong government and modern medical technology, both of which are indispensable. China, which is on this plane, has the hanging beep of Mr. Wen, so naturally there is no need to wait so long. When the Socialist Party was still called Kyodo, they were already in the Lianghu Control District. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large-scale nationwide governance campaign began.

In addition to a large number of targeted drugs for the treatment of schistosomiasis, there are also various special drugs for environmental treatment, such as sodium pentachlorophenol. The most important bunker is a variety of biological agents developed by later generations specifically to kill snails and schistosomiasis larvae, such as two targeted bacteria, which are specifically designed to destroy the physiological functions of snails and schistosomes, make them lose their fertility, and make their bodies fail and lose their mobility and die.

Wherever there is a water source, these killers should be sprayed. The original old ditches and ponds had to be backfilled and excavated and renovated, and sprayed with these killer agents. At the same time, strict control is carried out on the national borders, and strict quarantine is carried out on means of transport, personnel, animals, plants and articles entering China. Because there is a theory that many pathogens were brought from abroad, which is one of the reasons why schistosomiasis did not break out in large numbers until the late 19th century.

With the medical technology of later generations and a strong government organization, schistosomiasis has basically disappeared in China after three years of remediation work. By 1914, only 24 cases had been found in the whole year, in 1915 there were only 5 cases, and from 1916 onwards, no cases had been found in the core areas of China itself, and only a few were found in the new territories of the south, but none of them were strict. However, Wen Desi was still not reassured, and issued a death order to the local governments in the Yangtze River basin and the new territories in the south, strictly ordering that they must be carefully reviewed every year.

..............................................................................

"Tianqin, the dean's phone ......" At this time, a colleague who was guarding in front of the radio suddenly called.

"It's coming......" Lu Xiaming hurriedly ran over.

The telephone they are talking about is a kind of mobile communication phone that has just been introduced to the people, of course, it is very primitive, the size of a school bag, weighing three kilograms, and an antenna more than one meter high. Whether it is portability, coverage area, or function, it is far from being comparable with the mobile phones of the rotten streets in later generations. However, in this era, it is still quite a tall thing, originally it was used for the military, and it only began to be sold to the people last year, but private individuals rarely buy this kind of thing, mainly because various agencies and enterprises equip their field workers.

"Hello Dean, I'm Lu Xiaming......" Lu Xiaming picked up the microphone.

The dean's voice came from inside: "Lu Xiaopang, how is the situation of your re-examination over there?"

"So far, we haven't found a single surviving snail and schistosoma larvae, the white land is so clean, I wonder if they are extinct......" Lu Xiaming said a little bored, it has been several years in a row and no pathogen has been found, it is inevitable that it is a little boring.

This is the highest instruction given by Mr. Wen personally, and all previous epidemic areas must be strictly reviewed every year. This thing is so easily extinct, even if it is extinct in China, there are new territories and foreign countries. The dean said sternly.

Lu Xiaming hurriedly agreed, saying that he would not relax.

"Okay, now you hurry up and hand over the work to Xiao Liu, and go back to the unit immediately. There's a new quest up there......"

"What task?"

"Go abroad, go to the South Seas, investigate the tropical infectious diseases over there. A number of tropical infectious diseases have been discovered in the new territory of Nanyang, and the upper authorities will send infectious disease scientists and microbiologists from all over the country to investigate, and you are also named by the above, so come back quickly and prepare......" The dean hung up the phone after speaking.

Lu Xiaming, the word Tianqin, is a little fat man. Born in Chongqing in a family of doctors, his parents and brothers are both physicians, and he has a strong interest in medicine since he was a child, and in 1908, he was admitted to the world's top medical school at that time - Southwest University of Technology School of Medicine (the predecessor of Southwest Medical University), specializing in infectious diseases and god-level internal medicine. He is currently working in the First Hospital of Hubei Province and is also a well-known young doctor in the circle.

After Lu Xiaming handed over the job, he asked the local township government to help find a farm truck to send him to Huangzhou City, and then take the train back to Wuhan.

When he rushed to the hospital, the director said that he didn't need to go to Nanyang for the time being.

"Go to Japan?" Lu Xiaming's fleshy face was full of surprise, and then he said excitedly: "Japan has a tropical infectious disease? When did we defeat Japan? Why don't I know?"

"You ......" the dean's face was embarrassed. What kind of jumping thinking is this Nima?

He took a few deep breaths before suppressing the urge to smoke him: "When did I say that Japan was brought down? It's not a tropical infectious disease! You went to Japan this time because one of their princes had a cold, and their people couldn't handle it, so they asked us for help......

"If you have a cold, you have to ask for a doctor from a foreign country? Even if it's a prince, it's too much of an exaggeration. Lu Xiaming's face was a question mark,

The dean shook his head and said, "It's not an ordinary cold, and although the level of medicine in Japan is rubbish, it won't even be impossible to handle an ordinary cold." It is said that the prince's retinue had all died, and now the whole family was lying down, and their ambassador came to us with a blank eye...... This is the information on the condition. As he spoke, he took out a stack of materials and stuffed it to Lu Xiaming.

After reading the information, Lu Xiaming also frowned: "In addition to high fever and headache, its symptoms include blue face and coughing up blood. The fatality rate is actually 5%, which seems to be really not an ordinary cold ......"

"Hurry up and prepare, the instruments, medicines and special planes for you are ready, they are long-range bombers of the Air Force......"

......................................................

Presidential palace.

Today, a bunch of people came to Wen Desi's office, except for the prime minister and the heads of several intelligence departments, most of them were scientists, and even Ji Huiye, the president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a housegirl who was difficult to go out, also came.

"Our medical team has sent back news that the condition of Prince Higashifushimiya's family has been controlled, but they dare not guarantee that Japan will isolate all the patients......," Gu Xiaolu solemnly handed over a copy of the text. "According to the Japanese, Prince Higashifushimiya should have contracted the ...... while inspecting the colonies in Africa."

"Are you sure it's the Spanish flu?" Wen Deji turned to Ji Huiye, his expression was rarely stern.

Ji Huiye nodded and said, "We have compared the virus samples obtained from Japan with the Spanish flu virus samples in the database, and the genetic difference between the two is less than 1 in 10,000, so it can basically be determined that it is the Spanish flu ......."

"It seems that our actions must be advanced, I originally thought that there would be no Spanish flu in this world, but it seems that it only appeared late, fortunately we have already made a plan...... "Wen Deji thought about it and said: "Now immediately start this plan, strengthen the quarantine work at the border, and the special drugs we prepared in advance will immediately start mass production......"
