Man Bao quickly took two bites of food, then hid in his room on the pretext of looking for a prescription, and then went directly into the teaching room without washing up.
Teacher Mo was checking her homework from the previous two days online. When he saw that she was online, he checked the time. He sighed and said with a smile: "Today is twenty minutes earlier than yesterday."
Man Bao said: "Teacher Mo, there is a plague here. Do you know about smallpox?"
Teacher Mo's expression turned serious, "Smallpox? This infectious disease has been eliminated in ancient times. You... by the way, the time point here is still early, in ancient times."
In ancient times, there were no vaccines.
The disease that has been eliminated can be treated in the future. Manbao asked with bright eyes: "How to treat this disease?"
Teacher Mo frowned and said, "I took relevant courses when I was in grade 12, but I only studied history and didn't study it in depth at all."
After all, it is a virus that has been completely eliminated. In the past, there were research institutes that kept native smallpox viruses, but then humans migrated, and this kind of thing was destroyed on the way.
So until now this thing is just a piece of medical history here.
However, he still remembers some of how to treat it. "Until it is eliminated, there is no precise prescription or method for treatment. We can only treat it through isolation, allowing the body to heal itself and develop immune resistance. The reason why humans can eliminate it is because of vaccination."
Vaccines prevent people who are not infected from being infected again, thus completely blocking the virus from growing and spreading again, which means it is eliminated."
Manbao asked: "Do you have a vaccine? I am going to an epidemic area, but I have never had pox."
"Is there a vaccine specifically for smallpox?" Teacher Mo said, "No."
Manbao didn't have time to be disappointed before he heard him say: "But we have several comprehensive vaccines. I don't have data on the smallpox virus, so I'm not sure which one is effective. You have to give me the smallpox vaccine."
Manbao perked up and thought for a while and said, "I don't have it now. I have to go to Xiazhou to get it. How long does it take to confirm the data after you get the virus?"
"Soon, one day will be enough."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief.
Teacher Mo smiled and said: "Also, even if we don't have a prescription for treating smallpox now, it doesn't mean that we won't have a treatment method after we get the virus data. Medicine was not that developed when the virus was destroyed. Times are different now. Maybe we
Now there are medicines that can work, but that’s not necessarily the case.”
Manbao pondered for a moment and then asked: "Teacher Mo, do you like the smallpox virus?"
Teacher Mo: "...I am not very interested in this myself, but it is also a disease. I am still very interested in the data on this virus and the infection's history, but the cost of research is very fast. You gave me
Data can only offset some of these costs."
The master and the apprentice have always had a tacit understanding in this regard. They always talk about it and clearly mark the price.
However, Teacher Mo also felt sorry for the students, so he said: "I will go back and ask a few more colleagues in the school, they may be interested. They have research institutes, and if they are willing to participate in the research, the drugs may come out faster. There are also
Maybe we are lucky and we have drugs that can control the smallpox virus here, so we don’t have to spend a lot of money on research."
Man Bao expressed his understanding and then asked: "Then can I trade drugs with you directly?"
Before Teacher Mo could reply, Keke already said: "No."
Teacher Mo also heard it and paused before saying: "This kind of thing has too high technological content. If you use a large amount, it will definitely not work. If you use a low amount, I can apply to upload it as a teaching material..."
Manbao understood, and turned to ask Keke in a flattering manner, "Can I buy it in the mall?"
Keke searched for it and then said: "It depends on what medicine you need. Any medicine available in the mall will be fine. However, in terms of quality, it is recommended to use the medicine produced by Encyclopedia."
Teacher Mo frowned and thought for a while, and said to Man Bao: "The stuff in the encyclopedia is more expensive than the mall, but it has two advantages. First, it is directly produced by the biological research institute in the encyclopedia, and the quality is higher.
They are better than those in the mall, and the after-sales service is better; secondly, the varieties are relatively complete, and some of the medicines are enhanced versions, or in other words, the medicines in the encyclopedia are normal versions, while the ones in the mall are defective and less effective."
Man Bao thought of something and turned to look at Keke, "Koke, then give my mother that tube of medicine..."
Keke said: "The ones in the Encyclopedia are about 30% more expensive than the ones in the mall. Could you afford it at the time?"
Man Bao thought that she had worked hard for several years to save the points to buy her tube of medicine.
Man Bao couldn't help but look at his total points again, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were still quite a few.
In the past two years, she has occasionally made income. Jishitang occasionally sends her some raw medicinal materials, mainly because her reputation has spread.
Some herbal medicine dealers knew that Zhou Man liked live herbs, so they would dig them up and put them in pots and bring them to her, not for money, but just to please her.
Manbao himself is quite happy.
Then I would look for ways to prepare medicinal materials in the encyclopedia, and occasionally give them one or two.
She was not very good at making preparations herself, but that was what the medicinal material merchants did. After getting the prescription and pondering it for a while, she became good at it. As a result, more people liked to send her some fresh medicinal materials, some of which were difficult to prepare.
If the plant is given, the branches will be cut and raised in water or soil before being sent.
As long as it is still green in her hand, she can include it. Even if it has already been included, she will put it on the forum to sell based on the value. There will always be points income from going back and forth, and in the past two years, she occasionally buys some flowers.
She had no other expenses besides paying for some courses and points.
The total points accumulated are quite a lot.
After Man Bao discussed with Teacher Mo, he didn't go out and went directly to the encyclopedia to look up records and prescriptions about smallpox.
Teacher Mo knew more entries than she did. He entered the words one by one, and soon bought more than twenty books. He directly looked for the catalog, circled the relevant catalogs with a pen, and then handed the books to Manchu
Bao, "You should read these books first. I will also read them here, and then I will go to other research institutes to see if I can find more related ancient prescriptions."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly, feeling satisfied after reading so many books. With so many books, there must be a solution, right?
But she opened the catalog and was a little confused when she found the content.
There are very few records about smallpox. There may only be two or three pages about smallpox in a book as thick as two palms.
However, Teacher Mo's records at that time were different from theirs. One and a half of the three pages were devoted to the history and causes of smallpox, and the remaining page and a half were devoted to the symptoms of smallpox. The remaining
Half of the articles are about prevention and treatment, but most of them are about prevention and no treatment.
Prevention is also very simple. Ancient people all used vaccinations.
Among these twenty-odd books, three or four out of the seven or eight that Manbao flipped through at a glance had similar contents.
Manbao:……
Although I was frustrated, I still read it carefully for fear of missing something.
