“Is Vibrio cholerae so difficult to eliminate?”
"From ancient times to the present, cholera has been an infectious disease with a very high mortality rate. No matter how advanced the medical technology was before the end of the world, there was no way to eliminate it, let alone the end of the world now."
Tang Yizheng looked a little serious, "If cholera appears, other infectious diseases may also appear, such as plague, avian influenza, yellow fever, influenza, hydatid disease, filariasis, dengue fever, malaria, Ebola, and schistosomiasis
, typhoid fever, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, AIDS..."
After listening to Tang Yizheng's popular science, everyone's expressions changed.
"It's terrible that there are so many infectious diseases in the world."
"Moreover, I'm only talking about some of the infectious diseases that I know about. You still have to be careful. Under the polar night, new types of bacteria and viruses that have never appeared before may breed."
Ye Fu took over the conversation, "To prevent diseases, in addition to improving resistance, we can only reduce contact with other people. You must wear protective clothing when going out to the dungeon. Although it is troublesome, many infectious diseases are more terrible than cholera. Special medicine can save
We cannot cure everyone, and we cannot cure all diseases. Young children and the elderly have the weakest resistance. In this cholera outbreak, the elderly account for the majority of those who died."
Ye Fu looked at Wan Tao and Liu Zhang, "Uncle Wan and Uncle Liu try not to leave the underground city."
The two nodded, "Understood."
Time flies, and it has been more than twenty days since the cholera outbreak. Shen Li occasionally still has time to come over for a meal and bring some of the latest news and progress of the base. Cheng Lin is too busy and has never appeared to see him again.
, it has been a month since the cholera outbreak.
"Brother Cheng, you have lost weight." Qi Yuan circled around Cheng Lin and raised his hand to pat Cheng Linlie's shoulder.
"The food in the office building is not very good recently, so we have reduced some. Is everyone okay?"
"It's good, but I was very scared. How is the base? Have all the residents healed themselves?"
Cheng Lin smiled and said, "It's not that fast. Cholera is an infectious disease. Although it has been effectively controlled, people are still infected every day, and people die every day due to infection. But thanks to the special medicine you provided, otherwise, this time cholera would
A Vibrio outbreak could kill tens of thousands of people."
"Fortunately, the special medicine is effective. How is the shelter in Haguang City and the resettlement house? The population there is complex, and I am afraid there will be periodic outbreaks in the future."
Mr. Ye Fu felt that there were great hidden dangers in the shelter at the resettlement house. Most of the residents living there were refugees who had fled from all over the world. They had lived in refugee camps before. Their living habits were affected by the refugee camps, and there were many daring people.
, there are also a lot of timid and cowardly people, and I’m afraid the army needs to be stationed inside to maintain public order, otherwise something could easily happen.
"The population there is indeed complex. They have lived in refugee camps for a long time, their bodies cannot keep up with nutrition, and their resistance is poor. The number of deaths there is the highest. In the recent period, the number of deaths per day in the base and Haguang City has been around ten. Resettlement
There are more than a hundred people over there, and it has nothing to do with the special medicine. Their bodies have long been exhausted, and with the addition of cholera, there is no way to save them." Cheng Lin looked very tired, and it was hard for everyone to ask any more questions.
"What about those orphans?" Qi Yuan is most worried about the children who have no parents or mothers.
Cheng Lin thought for a while, "The child is the first to receive treatment. In any case, the child is still young and has many possibilities, so the child's survival rate must be guaranteed."
Cheng Lin also had an exclusive room in the underground city. He stayed here for a few days and adjusted to the best condition before returning to the office building to continue working.
Cholera has been suppressed, but it has not completely disappeared. The base has issued a set of protective clothing to everyone. There is no replacement suit. If it is damaged, you can only sew it up yourself. In the following period, theft of protective clothing occurred frequently.
There were people at the shelter who fought over protective clothing and were immediately taken away and detained by the police.
The shelter is not like the underground city where there are single rooms. The places to dry clothes are all in the same place. You can only use a blower to dry them. There are so many people stealing clothes. In order to keep their clothes, some people will not dare to do so for several months.
For cleaning, some people can only mark or sew their names on the clothes.
The pharmaceutical factory is still producing special medicines, but there are not many medicinal materials left, and Ye Fu has no extra medicinal materials to provide them. Cheng Lin issued an order that all young and middle-aged people go to the medicinal fields to plant medicine, and they can get it every day.
The points doubled. Suddenly, tens of thousands of applicants flocked to the office building.
No matter how hard it is, production cannot stop. What’s more, now that we have solar lamps, work is more convenient. Two solar lamps have also been installed in the medicine field, and the land covering hundreds of acres is like daylight.
Ye Fu was also hired to work in the medicinal field. Cheng Lin exchanged many medicinal seeds with her. She has rich experience in planting and directly became an agricultural expert at the base.
As her follower and assistant, Jiang Rong naturally follows her wherever she goes.
The expert team at the base are all very easy to get along with. Maybe Cheng Lin said hello to them, and everyone respects them.
The land in the medicine field is relatively barren. It used to be a cotton field, but it became barren after the end of the world, and was later developed into a medicine field.
After staying in the medicine field for a month, Ye Fu and Jiang Rong returned to the underground city. During this period, everyone was separated from them and could not enter the space to work. After returning, Ye Fu asked everyone to enter the space and looked at what had happened.
Ripe wheat, everyone was shocked.
"Can it be harvested so soon?"
"It was ready to be harvested half a month ago. The ears of wheat are very big. The harvest is expected to be huge this time. It is estimated that one acre of land can yield 1,800 to 2,000 jins."
"Ye Fu, are you kidding? Normally, one acre of wheat can only yield 800 to 1,200 jins."
Ye Fu smiled and said, "The wheat produced in space is naturally different from the wheat outside. You can compare the size of the wheat ears. The wheat ears grown in space are twice as big as those grown on the land outside."
"I have a say in this." Liu Zhang raised his hand.
"When I was at the Longtan base, I was responsible for growing grain. There really wasn't enough space to grow it well. The soil was all different. There were hundreds of acres of black soil in the planting area. This time I planted all the wheat, and I estimate that I could harvest several crops.
Hundreds of tons.”
Qi Yuan almost fell off his chair when he heard hundreds of tons.
"Did we become landlords overnight?"
"The landlords are just mediocre." Ye Fu was very arrogant.
"Okay, let's take a day off today and recharge our batteries. Starting from tomorrow, everyone will go into space to harvest wheat. We will try to harvest hundreds of acres of wheat within a month."
"There is a harvester, half a month is enough." Tang Yizheng was very confident.
"You have spent a month or two plowing the land. Harvesting wheat is much harder than plowing the land. It also has to be shucked. It may take more than a month to harvest. By the way, keep the wheat straw and you can feed the livestock later."
Because I have severe social anxiety, I dare not go to the barber shop, so I dyed my hair at home today, which exhausted me to death, haha
