Overall, Jiang Lu is still satisfied.

Although after leaving the body, the effect is not so immediate compared to the direct rod, and the time to effect will be much slower.

But that's enough.

Now that it has been determined that the beaten one can have an effect, it is time to try to adjust the concentration.

He needed to formulate a final drug that would be effective at the lowest possible concentration.

Ignoring the fun-seeing, playful Birdbeak Doctors in the square, he went into Marino's studio again.

After forcing Catherine, who was already asleep, to turn on, Jiang Lu collected some raw materials.

Then, according to a certain ratio, he prepared a solution of different concentrations under the same solvent, and then continued to divide it according to different solvents.

Different solvents are used to determine how to store them better, while different concentrations are used to determine how to achieve the effect of curing the patient with the smallest amount.

Now it's the turn of the control variable method to show its power again.

Everything seems to be going in a good direction.

However.

But when Greco told Jiang Lu about the results of all the experiments, he was silent.

"Mr. Holmes, they don't work at all, and all the patients show no signs of getting better!" Greco reported anxiously.

Jiang Lu guessed that many solvents were probably not suitable for preservation, but he didn't expect that there were so many types, not even one.

"Not even distilled water?"

"Nope." Greco shook his head, "It has to be in its original state to be useful. ”

"I see, let me think again." Jiang Lu sent him away, and his face was not too good-looking.

If it has to be the original state, how much do you have to fight?

Even he couldn't have been.

He began to search through all his memories to find out what had gone wrong.

Soon, he realized that he had overlooked a very critical issue.

That is, even he can't break free from the shackles of nature.

The cure factor is not immortal.

In the original hotbed, they have a survival time of 24~72 hours, but if other liquids are added to reduce the concentration, they will be inactivated quickly.

The temperature, nature, and even the surrounding environment of a liquid can affect its survival.

How to solve the problem of survival rate has become the main problem.

"What should I do?"

Jiang Lu paced back and forth in the studio.

"Tsk"

The sound of his footsteps soon woke Catherine, as he paced to the simple bed where Catherine was lying, and the latter, thinking that he needed new raw materials, habitually lifted the quilt in a daze, and waited for Jiang Liu.

"Huh?"

Jiang Lu stopped, his eyes fixed on the crystal on Catherine's thigh.

"I thought of it!"

"What do you think?" Catherine yawned and asked curiously.

"I'm such a coin!" Jiang Lu slapped his thigh: "Just put them where they should be!" In this way, not only will you not lose your life, but you will become more energetic out of instinct! ”

"What?" Catherine, who was sleepy-eyed, couldn't think at all at this moment: "I don't understand something. ”

"It's okay, you don't need to understand, let's continue."

"Oh." Catherine nodded, got up and sat down on her knees.

"No, turn your back on me."

"Okay."

"This time it's a little different." Jiang Lu held her shoulder and ordered, "If you feel it, tell me, don't be like before." ”

"Huh?" Catherine looked back and said embarrassedly, "Want to say it?" ”

"Yes."

"Okay, okay."

Catherine has a sensitive physique, which Jiang Lu has noticed a long time ago.

Because of this, he felt sorry for the fact that he had not thought of this method before.

When it takes her to collect raw materials once, Catherine can collect them several times, almost a full cup, which makes Jiang Lu shake his head again and again.

What a waste before!

Her face flushed again, and Catherine, whose chest was undulating, was also ashamed when she saw that Jiang Lu had collected so much.

"So much?"

"How?" Jiang Lu shook his head and looked out the window with a melancholy face: "These are far from enough."

He divided the healing factor into a new solvent in proportion, and then called Greco to try again.

This time, it is finally exciting good news.

"All patients are getting better!" Greco was ecstatic: "The worst dark spots have also faded and stabilized. ”

"Great!" Knowing that her efforts were not in vain, Catherine also showed a bright smile.

Jiang Lu breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the table to catch his breath.

If the condition is stabilized, he will not die for a while.

But

He looked at Catherine.

Catherine is not like Jiang Lu, after many overdrafts, she is already a little overwhelmed.

Although it seems to be quite a lot, it is now considered the end of the crossbow compared to when it was in the bathroom and when I first came to the studio.

After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Lu took Greco away first.

"Catherine." He screamed.

"What, Mr. Holmes?"

"I need you to do me a favor."

"Let me rest for a while~" Catherine blinked, coquettish.

"No, it's not this."

Jiang Lu shook his head.

Catherine looked puzzled, "That's it."

Jiang Lu sighed: "God help the self-helper, I have now realized that my meager strength alone is not enough to save all the Florentines, I think everyone needs to unite. ”

"Solidarity?" Catherine was even more confused.

Medici mansion, in the hallway.

"What?! Mr. Holmes has developed a cure for the plague? ”

Giovanni's eyes widened in disbelief.

"And what is my previous sacrifice?"

"Sacrifice?" Catherine shook her head in disgust, her gaze poking through the crack in the bedroom door behind Giovanni: "I see that you are not very happy to have it?" ”

When she returned, she learned from the old butler that Giovanni hadn't left the bedroom since they left.

What made her feel most explosive was that she wanted to knock on the door and call Giovanni directly.

turned out to be at the door, and I vaguely heard the conversation inside-

"I'm Sherlock Holmes now, pay attention to what you call me."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Holmes."

"No, no, you'll have to resist a little."

"Mr. Holmes, I feel sorry for my husband for this, and he will be very sad if he knows."

"Oh! It's so feeling! ”

Catherine immediately knocked on the door.

Then there was the sound of falling and knocking things off inside.

"Who?"

"Me, Catherine."

"Right away."

So at this time, in the face of his sister's direct gaze and rhetorical questioning, Giovanni couldn't raise his head at all.

"Did you hear it all?"

Catherine nodded: "It's clear. ”

Giovanni sighed.

"Let's talk about drugs, where did you just go?"

Catherine had come for Jiang Lu's commission, and she didn't bother to talk to Giovanni about his incomprehensible fetishes.

"Now that the manufacture of the drug is in trouble and cannot be mass-produced, Mr. Holmes needs your help."

"How can I help?"

Giovanni asked curiously, "I don't know anything about medicine." ”

Catherine rolled her eyes: "Of course, it's not for you to help make the drug, but for you to help collect materials." ”

"What material?"

Catherine looked left and right, leaned over to Giovanni's ear and whispered an explanation.

Giovanni listened and suspected that he had misheard.

"What?! What?! You're not kidding?! ”

"Yes, that's it, and without that, maybe only a very small number of people can be saved."

Catherine could guess what Giovanni was thinking, and said: "The drug must be fine, it has been experimented, and now the problem is how to mass-produce it, so that all Florentines can escape this catastrophe, the only one who can do this is you now, only you have such great appeal." ”

"No, that can't be called for."

Giovanni's face was full of embarrassment: "If this spreads, how will I mix in the whole of Europe in the future?" ”

When Catherine heard this, she was angry.

"If all the Florentines are dead, I don't think you'll be able to mess around!"

"This" Giovanni was still a little hesitant: "You let me think about it again." ”

At this moment, Jiang Lu, who was always relieved and worried that Catherine would not be able to convince Giovanni, also rushed over.

Seeing that Giovanni was still undecided, he was glad that he was lucky to come.

"Monsieur Medici." He said hello, then smiled, "Now all hope is pinned on you." ”

"You're here." Giovanni's expression was complicated, and he smiled wryly: "This is really . . . It's a little too ridiculous, and I don't know what to do now. ”

"It doesn't matter if it's ridiculous or not, it's what you do."

Jiang Lu shrugged: "I understand your fear of the unknown and new things, but think about it, if tens of thousands of people die because you let the opportunity go in vain this time, the future generations will not care how absurd this method of saving people is, they will only remember that you deprived them of the opportunity to live."

I know this logic sounds like a jerk, but there will always be people who will use their morality to flaunt themselves and use it to kidnap others.

Perhaps you can think about it from another angle, if you save tens of thousands of people with your help, this bad result will never happen, and instead, you will become a hero, not only to keep the name of the Medici family alive, but also to gain the loyalty of the whole of Florence. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Lu smiled: "And haven't you already joined my Red Cross?" I wonder if we can make a big one and turn Florence into a new Papal State.

Wouldn't it be better to have the Vatican's incompetent people still praying to God, and the whole of Europe would become our backyard? ”

These words woke up Giovanni.

Indeed, now is not the time to wrestle on face.

The chance to save all of Florence was now in front of him, no matter how ridiculous it was, it was better than later generations saying that he was stupid and incompetent, at least he really saved tens of thousands of lives.

And the second half of Jiang Lu simply entered his heart.

Although the Medici were the new overlords of Florence, their roots were unstable and they often had to make offerings to the Papal States in order to gain recognition and guaranteed status.

It was already a dream to be able to gain a foothold, not to mention the opportunity to completely break away from the Papal States and become completely independent, which was a topic that was simply impossible to talk about in the past.

Giovanni was intrigued.

Compared with the righteousness that Catherine said, it was obviously the practical benefits that Jiang Lu said that made him feel more excited.

"Red Cross."

He muttered, then burst out laughing, "Good! That's it! ”

Catherine quietly looked at Jiang Lu, in her opinion, at this moment, Yun said bold words lightly, and in a few words, she persuaded Giovanni's Jiang Lu, which was extremely charming.

"Mr. Holmes, you are simply a genius!" Giovanni did not hesitate to express his appreciation and respect: "In your eyes, even natural disasters have opportunities, which makes me admire!" ”

"I won't say polite words." Jiang Lu looked at the clock pointing to two o'clock in the morning, and said, "Every minute and second we waste, there may be a patient who dies, since it has been decided, let's act quickly." ”

"Okay, I'll give you the order."

Giovanni said, and was about to find someone to convey it, when he remembered something and hurried back to the bedroom.

It wasn't long before he came out with a basin of water.

"It's." Jiang Lu looked at the half basin of water in the basin and realized something.

Giovanni smiled sheepishly, "Here are some of the things I just collected that you wanted, and there were other uses for it, but I hope you can use it." ”

"Or maybe it's a nobleman."

Jiang Lu nodded with satisfaction: "Whether it is the gameplay or ideological awareness, it is very high." ”

The Medici soldiers took to the streets in droves, knocked on the doors of every house in the security zone, and handed them leaflets.

The bearded man, who had to stay at home after the outbreak of the plague, closed the door, walked up the stairs with a frown in his leaflet, and sat down on the edge of the bed after lighting the oil lamp in his bedroom.

His wife had been woken up and looked at the sky, surprised that her husband had gotten up so early today.

"Honey, what's going on?"

Beard stared at the simple one, which looked like a makeshift flyer, and his heart was full of doubts: "Something strange has happened." ”

The wife propped up her upper body, leaned against the head of the bed, and combed her hair from sleep.

"What's the matter?"

"Well, the city lord said that he has now found a medicine that can effectively cure the disease."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Looking back at his wife, who looked calm and a little ignorant in her eyes, the bearded man didn't know how to explain.

In order not to panic his wife, he kept saying at home that there was a contagious disease outside, but he didn't tell her how terrible this disease was.

Only as someone who has seen the horrors outside the city does he know how desperate this plague really is.

Therefore, in his opinion, it is simply impossible to find a medicine, this is no longer a disaster that can be reversed by man, but a punishment from God!

"A good thing, perhaps."

The bearded man didn't explain anything, just kept looking.

When he saw what Giovanni wanted them to do, people were stupid.

"Ridiculous! It's a joke! ”

Seeing that he reacted so much, his wife asked strangely, "What's wrong?" ”

"See for yourself."

He handed the flyer to his wife, and soon, shock appeared on the other person's face.

"Go to sleep." The bearded man shook his head, intending to act as if nothing had happened.

But at this moment, his wife was attracted by the words at the end of the leaflet, and stopped the bearded man who was about to lie down.

"Look at this."

"What?"

[Those who fall into the sea will not be drowned, only those who pray in the sea for a great ship to fall from heaven and do nothing will drown, the Florentines need to be united, they need each of us to swim and form an indestructible ark capable of overcoming all storms and tsunamis!] 】

Seeing that the bearded man was thoughtful, his wife told him about a past that the bearded man did not know.

"Before I married you, my parents were against it."

The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and raised his head suddenly: "Why suddenly"

"Listen to me."

His wife interrupted him and continued:

"At that time, you were a poor boy who only knew how to memorize the law, and had nothing.

But I just appreciate your drive.

When I saw this sentence, I thought of you, you are the kind of person who was born in the sea, but will always swim desperately towards the goal, I know that sooner or later you will succeed, so I have no hesitation. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Why don't you give it a try?" The wife smiled: "You were worried that I was scared, so I never told me what was going on outside, but when the neighbor was taken away that day, I actually guessed that the situation was much worse than you said."

And now, the possibilities are in front of us, although it seems somewhat. But at least it's not something you can't try, is it?

Aren't you always thinking about what you want to do for Florence? Isn't the opportunity right in front of you now? ”

The bearded man took a deep breath.

After a while, he suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect you to be more open-minded than me." ”

He was convinced.

The same thing happens in every household.

Although some people thought that the information on the leaflet was too difficult to accept, most of them happily followed the above description, found containers to collect materials, and quietly placed them on the street in front of their homes.

When the soldiers returned to the area where they had been distributed an hour after handing out the leaflets, they were surprised to find that the entire street was filled with bottles and cans.

It is clear that the people of Florence are ready to overcome this challenge together.

The Florentine unity of the night has become an enduring legend of the city.

As for the leaflet, because of the items raised, it was revered in the Red Cross Bible as a sacred drop chip!

Good morning!!!
