Chapter 186: White Leaf Blight
There was a revision in the previous chapter, I took cold medicine and was a little sleepy, and yesterday's was short...)
In the closed area, they have set up a temporary area to cultivate bacteria from infected rice, and in order to avoid leakage, they are not going to take the bacteria from these plants out for cultivation.
Although laboratories are also set up outside the closed area, they are more like a dormitory, and they stay in the closed area more often, and only go outside when they sleep.
Kaichi was a little curious about the Holy See's side. Ask Keller: "Who is the Holy See on the other side?"
Keller was silent for a while, he didn't really want to have contact between the two sides, but when Jia asked, he couldn't hide it, in fact, there was nothing to hide.
"It's the Rev. Louis Pasteur, who is a disciple of Pastor Hymond, already a young archbishop, and we hope that the two sides will exercise restraint and not have conflict. ”
In fact, there is a controversy within the elves about whether to invite the parliament and the Holy See over, after all, everyone knows that the two sides are a little bit unmatched, although the relationship has eased in recent years, but it has not been completely reconciled, and the secret dispute has always been there, and they all want to suppress the other party.
In the end, it was the elven queen who spoke, and decided to invite people from both sides to come over at the same time, just to cut the two sides apart and reduce their contact with each other. They are reluctant to keep a time bomb on their side, and if the white leaf blight leaks out one day, the impact on the elves will be huge.
Even if it's not a catastrophe, it will hurt the vitality of the body.
Jiayi had never heard of Louis Pasteur, but he did know Hymond, and the development of botany could not be separated from him.
Ville Onde concentrated on cultivating the diseased plants, and Ole, who had come with them, did not seem very interested, and remained silent.
"Ole, I see you've been unhappy since you came out of Moshacher, what's wrong? Don't you like to come here on Elven Island? It's not bad to think of it as a vacation. ”
Elven Island is not very open, many people are curious about Elven Island, and there are very few depressed people like Ole.
Ole found a tree to lean onto: "I would be happy if I usually lived, but what's the use of letting me come this time? I don't understand what you're doing, and I'm here for no use except to stand guard for you." ”
Jia Yi didn't expect him to be bothered by this: "It's not good to just take money and not do things? Do you want 996?"
Be careful to wait until you can't do it and be violently laid off, there will be no compensation, even if you get compensation for all your hard work, you will be falsely accused by the owner, and you will be arrested and detained in the detention center for half a year.
"And you're not useless, we all have to rely on you for protection, I hope you don't play a role, otherwise we will be in danger. ”
Ole didn't understand what 996 was, and smiled bitterly: "Why do you need me to protect, the elves invited you over and can't let you have an accident, maybe there are legendary mages who are paying attention to you now, and what can I calculate." ”
Kaichi also admits that Ole is right, but the council can't do nothing at all. And Ole is a bit arrogant to say this, the purple-robed mage is already a big man outside of a limited number of forces.
"We can't put all our hopes in someone else, and if something goes wrong with the elves, Ville Onde and I will be miserable, but you are our last guarantee. The more measures the better, and it's better not to do anything. ”
Of course, Ole also knows this, but he still feels that there is no point in staying here, and the most important thing is that he and Jia Yi lack a common language, but Jia Yi has a common language with Ville Onde, and he also has some knowledge about microorganisms.
Ville Onde used a special technique to speed up the cultivation of bacteria, and in a few days, the bacteria were cultured and separated.
Jiayi brought Keller and Alwin over, and Willer Onde demonstrated to everyone in front of the test bench: "This is a few bacteria that I have cultivated from infected rice plants, and the yellow colonies should be the bacteria that cause the infection of elf rice, and the yellow colonies have strong corrosive properties on the plant cells of elf rice in the test, and the other ones have little damage to elf rice." And these are all relatively common bacteria, except for the one with the white colony. I named the bacterium with the yellow colony as B. alba and now, as long as I find a way to kill B. alba bacteria. ”
"And what can be done to kill this germ?" Alwyn asked urgently.
Ville Onde left from the microscope and said a little helplessly: "It's easy to kill bacteria, high temperature is the easiest, high temperature cooking and flame can remove bacteria, and now there is a high concentration of spirits, which also has a good killing effect on bacteria, but these can't be used." ”
It doesn't take Ville Onde to elaborate on it, everyone understands that no one is Avanti, and cooked rice seeds cannot grow rice.
"Well, isn't there a good way to do it?" Alwyn looked a little disappointed.
"At the moment, no. We have discovered many kinds of pathogenic bacteria in the school of the dead, but we can cultivate these bacteria, but we can't find a good way to kill the bacteria without affecting the host, and the main method now is isolation, which is the most effective method. ”
"Isn't that the case now, can we just seal this place forever?"
Keller hurriedly said: "At least we now know why the elf rice got sick, and it is easier to solve the problem by finding the cause." I believe that the mages of the council can find the cause so quickly, and they will definitely be able to find a solution to the problem. ”
He was already very satisfied, after all, Jiayi and they hadn't been here for a long time, and it was already good to be able to find the problem so quickly, although the elves had closed this place to prevent the spread of the disease, the cause of the elf rice had never been clear.
Willer Onde asked Alwin and Keller to come and observe the bacteria, which resembled a short rod with long flagella on one side.
"I didn't expect this small bacteria to have such a strong damage, stumping the entire elf race. Alwyn couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the bacteria under the microscope, the elves have a lot of experience in the study of magic, and there is no good way to deal with this kind of bacteria.
"Bacteria are small, but they are much older than humans and spirits, and they are everywhere, and they are not just infected with bacteria, just like the air is full of bacteria now." ”
"This... Is this true?"
Alwyn's face was terrified, and he couldn't help but release a bubble head technique to wrap himself.
Ville Onde couldn't help but smile and said: "You don't have to be nervous, although bacteria can make people sick, the human body has its own defense barrier, and generally it will not make people sick." Moreover, mage elves and other self-defense barriers are stronger, and it is more difficult to be eroded by germs. ”
Basically, it's rare to hear of elves or mages getting sick, but if these supernatural professionals get sick, it's often harder to be cured.
"Food spoils because of bacteria, and the broth spoils when it is placed there, but it can be stored for a long time without spoiling after boiling and sealing, because it isolates bacteria. ”
"It's actually a good way to preserve food, and it's a good way to preserve perishable food for a long time, and the existing preservation technology is based on this principle, although people didn't know much about microorganisms when they invented it," he added. The ability to keep food fresh in storage equipment is actually based on this principle. ”
As he spoke, Jia Yi turned his head to look at Willer Onde: "Do you know the United Chamber of Commerce in Moshacher? There are a large number of high-quality iron ingots there, we can pack food in tin boxes, heat it and seal it, and it can be stored for a long time. What do you think of canned food?"
Of course, Ville Onde has heard of the United Chamber of Commerce, and the street lamps are now produced by the United Chamber of Commerce, and their popularity is no less than that of other old chambers of commerce.
"Of course the United Chamber of Commerce knows, this is indeed a good idea, but the iron cans are not cheap, is anyone willing to buy them?"
"Of course it will, many fruits can't be transported over long distances, especially in winter, Moshacher is okay, if Longgen Academy doesn't even have greenhouses to eat, and seafood, the inland can't eat it, mages can have preservation techniques, ordinary people can't afford to eat this, and the cost of canned food is at least much cheaper than preservation techniques. ”
"Well, I think we're talking about how to kill germs right now, not how to do business. ”
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more biased, Alwyn couldn't help but interrupt and said, Jiayi and Ville Onde looked at each other and stopped talking, but they both felt that canned food should be a very good idea.
