Chapter 919: Almighty Sister Yue, Hardcore Science Popularization (Part 2)
After a night of rest, all team members were full of energy.
They had good food and accommodation, and with Sister Yue's bodyguards stationed there to ensure their personal safety at all times, everyone felt at ease.
If you have a good night's sleep, can you feel energetic the next day?
Among them, Liu Weihua felt the most deeply!
I remember when their medical team arrived on the island, they had no food, no water, and no place to stay. They were bitten by poisonous mosquitoes in the middle of the night and their bodies were covered with blisters. Fortunately, they were treated in time, otherwise their lives might have been in danger.
In addition, you have to be on guard against the irritable villagers on the island at all times, for fear that they will be dissatisfied and hit you with a shovel while you are sleeping.
In short, they were worried and treading on thin ice, and the atmosphere in the entire medical team was extremely pessimistic.
It's not like being with Sister Yue at all. There's food and drinks, just like going on a trip.
The team has dedicated chefs, professional construction workers, washing machines, microwave ovens, and even a mobile convenience store.
If Liu Weihua hadn't known that they also had the mission of curing diseases and saving lives, he would have almost thought that Jiang Fuyue brought them here to open a wild farm stay!
Oh, and the most important thing is the Internet!
In just one night, the temporary base station was set up and the network signal was very strong.
Everyone’s mobile phones can be used normally, and the Internet speed is even faster than outside.
And—no, money!
It is said that there was a small problem when the workers were building it last night, and Sister Yue fixed it herself.
Liu Weihua heard a colleague sighing:
"Is there anything Professor Jiang doesn't know? This is too powerful!"
"I thought I was here to die gloriously, but I didn't expect that I was here to enjoy happiness?"
"It seems that what the netizens said is right. Follow Sister Yue and you will have meat to eat!"
…
After a good rest, it’s time to officially get back to work.
Jiang Fuyue first sent a group of people out to collect samples.
She needs to study the samples to determine what the disease is.
"The people on the island are so fierce. What if they refuse to cooperate?"
"Yeah, we can't beat them..."
Jiang Fuyue: "Each group should bring a bodyguard, and also carry some leftover lard from yesterday."
"Pig, grease?"
Why bring this?
To fill your stomach when you are hungry on the road?
The key is that they don’t like to eat it?
Might as well bring two packs of biscuits...
"I don't like eating oil residue. It's too greasy and unhealthy. I'll bring some hot water and oatmeal. I'll soak it and eat it when I'm hungry later."
"I don't like greasy food either. An apple is enough for me."
"...You guys don't bring any oil residue?"
"You want to bring it?"
"I think since Professor Jiang specifically asked us to lead, she must have her reasons, so I'll take it."
"Yeah, I'll bring some oil residue too! Believe in Sister Yue and you'll have eternal life! This is the valuable experience I've gained from being a Yue fan for so many years."
"Hey! Are you still a fan of Professor Jiang?"
"I'm a long-time fan. I've been a fan of Professor Jiang since she was still in high school and participated in international competitions. I've never regretted following her over the years. I just want to say - she's really worth it!"
“Is it really that magical?”
“Whoever is a fan knows~”
“…”
The sampling team set out and divided into several groups.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Fuyue sent out another propaganda team, whose main job was to carry loudspeakers and broadcast the announcement repeatedly around the island.
The general content is: 1. Send critically ill patients at home to the camp for treatment in a timely manner. They have professional and complete medical equipment. 2. Pay attention to family protection and personal protection, as follows...
Jiang Fuyue: "Each group should still have one bodyguard to protect everyone's safety."
"Um...Professor Jiang, I have a question."
"you say."
"Do we really have to go around the entire island to promote it?"
The area of Duofu is not small. Except for the primitive dense forests and hilly mountains that are not habitable, the remaining mudflats and plains are basically populated, and they mostly live in groups based on surnames.
For example, the three major families are distributed in Qianwan, Fuwan and Houwan, which are also the most convenient and comfortable places on the entire island.
There are still some single families left who are unable to live together, most of whom live in remote areas at the foot of the mountains.
Whenever there are major events on the island, they are often kept out of the loop and find it difficult to participate.
The purpose of circling the island is to let these islanders know the existence of the medical team so that they can go and seek help more easily.
So it's imperative to go around the island, but if you just rely on your legs...
It would take more than a week to finish it, right?
Liu Weihua cleared his throat and stepped forward. "Professor Jiang has already considered this issue for everyone, so let's line up and receive our eDonkeys in an orderly manner."
"E-Mule?" Someone stared with wide eyes, unable to believe it.
Liu Weihua: "Yes! Brand new, just fully charged. I hope everyone will take good care of it!"
Then they started distributing them one by one.
"Oh my god! It really is a small electric donkey? It's awesome!"
"Was it shipped from one of the cargo ships?"
"Oh my god! There's even this thing. Professor Jiang, could he be a Doraemon?"
"I dare say that our equipment is number one among all the medical teams in the country!"
"I love Sister Yue's predictive ability!"
"Just one word - absolutely!"
Liu Weihua just found out what those big things Jiang Fuyue bought at the shopping mall that day were.
…
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sampling team came back one after another and handed over the collected samples to Jiang Fuyue.
Some people collected dozens of copies, while others returned empty-handed.
"I should have brought lard scraps with me!"
"Sister Yue asked you to take care of them, but you didn't listen. Now you regret it, don't you? It's a good thing I took care of a lot of them. Hehe!"
"Well, we didn't know that people like lard so much. They don't even want biscuits or fruit, but only want lard. It's so infuriating!"
"Ahem...at first I thought it was for us to eat, but I didn't expect it was for the villagers on the island..."
"The key point is, you know what? They don't want money, they just want oil residue. I'm really impressed."
"Why?"
"If you think of today's Duofu as the Chinese countryside of the 1950s and 1960s, it will be easy to understand."
"Without money, people have to barter. Even if you took out tens of thousands of dollars and put it on display, I don't think these people on the island would even look at it."
"I understand your explanation. If nothing else, think about how precious lard scraps were in that era."
Add a little bit when stir-frying, and the whole dish will have oily flavor; add a little bit to the soup, stir it, and you can see oil and water floating on the surface of the soup. In the eyes of many people, this is already considered a feast.
Be frugal and there will be meat in the house for a long time.
"Hiss—why do I feel like I've traveled through time?"
"Hahaha, I agree! I'll definitely bring some lard scraps tomorrow!"
…
As the sun sets, the propaganda team returns.
Riding a small electric scooter is so cool.
"Wow! Where did this electric car come from?"
“This is so cool.”
"Can I get a ride tomorrow?"
“…”
The sampling team members gathered around and chattered, touching it and looking at it with envy.
The day's work ended happily like this.
In the evening, everyone gathered in the open space to eat dinner. The aroma of meat wafted in the air, making everyone eager to eat.
Many children secretly ran to the hillside, staring at the big iron pots, drooling.
"These people are so strange. Why are they all wearing long white coats?"
“And I eat meat every day!”
"Gudong—it smells so good. I've never smelled anything like it before. It must be delicious."
"But my mother said they are bad people and will bring bad luck to the island, so we must never get close to them!"
But……
It smells so good!
If they could, they would jump into the iron pot and eat their fill first, regardless of bad luck or not.
For a moment, the sounds of children slurping their saliva could be heard one after another.
In the quiet evening, they poked half of their heads out of the mountain like little hamsters, thinking they were hiding well, but they didn't know they had already been discovered by everyone.
It’s, quite cute!
At that time, Jiang Fuyue was in a makeshift laboratory, analyzing patient samples.
Liu Weihua served as her assistant.
"data."
“…”
"Analysis results."
“…”
“Sample classification.”
“…”
"Conclusion summary."
Jiang Fuyue was like an emotionless experimental machine. Liu Weihua had to be nervous and focused throughout the whole process to barely keep up with her progress.
If you get distracted even a little bit, you will be ruthlessly thrown away.
Too fast!
When the data came into her hands, she could draw a rough conclusion at a glance, which was basically consistent with the analysis results obtained through the computer.
When it comes to calculations, there’s no need for paper and pen, or computers; the results are immediately available with just a glance.
Is this the ceiling level of scientific research capabilities in China?
Too strong.
The next day, when the sky was just beginning to lighten, the two of them came out of the laboratory.
Liu Weihua's legs were trembling, his steps were weak, and his face was a little pale due to excessive fatigue.
In contrast, Jiang Fuyue's eyes were bright, his steps were powerful and he was calm and composed.
Just standing in front of people, you become their backbone and give them strength instantly!
Liu Weihua looked excited, and suddenly, he didn't seem so tired anymore.
The results of sample analysis showed that the epidemic on the island was none other than malaria!
But unlike the common Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium quartannum, this type of malaria has a higher mortality rate.
It is the most difficult type of malaria!
Fortunately, my country conquered malaria decades ago, there are relevant drugs on the market that can effectively treat it, and research in various aspects is also very mature.
So, it’s not a big problem.
Liu Weihua: "Then the next step is to contact outside the island to deliver needles and medicine, but will these islanders be willing to come here for treatment?"
Jiang Fuyue put her hands in the pockets of her lab coat and curled her lips slightly: "I would like to."
Liu Weihua: “?”
…
On the same day, Jiang Fuyue contacted his superiors to report on his work and requested that drugs such as chloroquine, quinine, mefloquine, primaquine, and ethamidine for treating malaria be transported as soon as possible.
"Are you sure you can get the people on Duofu Island to take their injections and medicine obediently?" The old leader's uncertain voice came from the other end.
No one knows what Duofu is like better than them.
Over the years, we have been unable to persuade or do anything about it, and we have been tied up in our hands and can only let it grow wildly.
It's not that we haven't tried. The special missions went there again and again, but the Duofu people are notoriously xenophobic, and they even resisted with their flesh and blood, which led to many conflicts.
Seeing this, the higher-ups also understood that this matter could not be forced. If there were casualties, the international community would make a big fuss about it and accuse China of violating the spirit of humanitarianism, which would be troublesome.
Therefore, the real difficulty is not curing the disease, but getting more people willing to seek treatment.
No wonder the old leader is so worried.
Jiang Fuyue smiled, without making any promises, and just said, "Let's give it a try."
"Oh, by the way, besides the medicine, it would be even better if you could send some live pigs."
“W-what?!” The old leader suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing.
Jiang Fuyue: "The fatter the pigs, the better. The more the better."
"?"
Could it be that the conditions in Duofu are too harsh and the child is too greedy?
…
It takes at least seven days for the medicine to arrive.
During this period, Jiang Fuyue led the team to deliver medicine to sick families, but he only delivered medicine and did not force the other party to send the patients for treatment.
Although it is not a strong and effective medicine, it can at least temporarily stabilize the condition and buy time for the patient.
On the other side, Liu Weihua received Jiang Fuyue's order and began to organize everyone to kill mosquitoes.
Malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites. As long as this transmission route is cut off, more people can be prevented from becoming ill.
However, to kill mosquitoes on such a large scale, special mosquito repellent is needed.
Those sold on the market are only suitable for home use and can kill mosquitoes on a small area, but this one is different. It is a large-scale, rapid and effective elimination of mosquitoes on the entire island.
The potion should also take into account the unique island environment and whether it will cause pollution to the soil, sea water, mudflats, crops, etc.
"Is there anyone among us who studies biopharmaceuticals?"
No one answered.
In the end, it was Jiang Fuyue who stepped in, personally prepared the potion, and conducted many experiments before finally finalizing the formula.
Everyone sighed again: One moon sister is like a huge army.
In addition to these serious matters, Jiang Fuyue also did something "not so serious".
She asked the workers to pull up a huge white screen on the flat ground at the base, set up two large speakers on the left and right, and then use a high-definition projector... to play cartoons?
Soon, groups of children were attracted.
They didn't dare to get close, so they just lay on the hillside and watched with great interest.
I went back and told my parents—
"The people on the big white cloth move! You can even hear them talking! It's so beautiful."
"There are smiling dolphins, dancing octopuses, and the people inside can fly! Whoosh—"
“The scenery is so beautiful. The beach is made of gold and sparkles when the sun shines on it!”
"The show I watched today is called 'Black Cat Sheriff'. It turns out cats can be police officers!"
"I watched 'The Lotus Lantern' yesterday. Are there really gods? Do they all know magical powers..."
Children speak without restraint and are innocent and simple.
At first, parents would scold...
"What white cloth and black cloth? How can a person be on the cloth?!"
"You can only see dolphins and octopuses by going out to sea. How could you little creatures possibly see them? And you even said... that people can fly? I think you're just exaggerating!"
But these children's stories are so convincing that parents will inevitably become curious after hearing them many times.
The next day, adults began to appear on the hillside to peek.
Jiang Fuyue stopped broadcasting cartoons and started showing movies.
From passionate war films like "Wolf Warrior" to literary and artistic films like "Lush Mountain Love", they satisfy men and cater to women.
Soon, the hillside became a gathering place for adults.
“This white cloth is amazing!”
"Hey, this, this...how did you put people in there?"
"Someone is really moving and talking!"
Day after day, more and more people came, and the hillsides on both sides could no longer accommodate them.
Jiang Fuyue simply used a loudspeaker to call them down, "Aren't you tired of lying down? We have chairs here so you can sit and watch."
At first, everyone was hesitant and thought she had bad intentions.
But gradually some people started to give in. With the first one, there would be no shortage of the second and third...
On the fourth day, all the islanders ran to the flat ground and sat down.
There are adults, children, and even families coming with them.
Here, through a small white cloth, they seemed to be exposed to a whole new world: upstairs and downstairs, electricity and telephones, airplanes, high-speed trains, skyscrapers...
Fan Ye looked at the longing expressions on the faces of the tribesmen, and she knew that Sister Yue had succeeded!
They are closed and conservative, but they finally become curious about the outside world. Once this curiosity takes root, it is only a matter of time before they go out and accept new things!
"Dad, I told them so much before, but they didn't believe me. Sister Yue solved it with just a projector."
"Yeah," Fan Sheng stood with his hands behind his back, looking at his once ferocious tribesmen, now huddled together like little lambs watching a movie. He suddenly felt both amused and sad. "She can make all problems simple."
"Yeah!" Sister Yue has such magic!
…
On the sixth day, Jiang Fuyue did not show them a movie, but instead played a popular science video about malaria.
It just so happened that the unforgiving Yellow Salmon brought people to cause trouble. Before he could even open his mouth, Jiang Fuyue ordered them to be tied up and gagged.
Yellow Salmon: Really? You're doing this again?
Liu Sisi: "Then what to do?"
Jiang Fuyue thought for a moment and said, "Tie him to a chair and watch it with everyone."
"good."
In this way, yellow salmon was forced to learn about science.
"Malaria is a vector-borne disease caused by infection with Plasmodium through the bite of a female Anopheles mosquito or transfusion of blood containing the infective stage of Plasmodium. The main symptom is sudden chills..."
"…After several attacks, patients may develop anemia, especially those with falciparum malaria. Long-term or repeated infections can cause significant spleen enlargement, reaching below the navel…"
"Severe headache, vomiting, high fever, varying degrees of impaired consciousness... Acute pulmonary edema leading to respiratory failure, accompanied by peripheral circulatory failure, multiple organ dysfunction, and hemolytic uremic syndrome. The condition is severe and the mortality rate is high..."
Everyone was shocked.
Isn't this the symptom they are experiencing?
"A mosquito bite... Yes! I remember Xiaobao started having a high fever after being bitten..."
"So we all have bugs in our blood, right?"
"Look, that bug is still crawling! It's moving inside the human body..."
Yellow Salmon sat in his chair and began to feel uncomfortable. The thought that he might have worms in his body...
His legs were shaking and cold sweat was pouring out.
Seeing that the situation was almost serious, Jiang Fuyue raised the loudspeaker and said, "As everyone can see, you are infected with malaria, and it is a very serious type."
"The treatment drugs will be delivered tomorrow. If you still want to live, and want your children who have already started showing symptoms to live, then come here at this time tomorrow to receive the most scientific and formal treatment!"
"The first fifty people to arrive will each receive five pounds of lard."
Everyone: “!”
Is it important to cure the disease?
important!
But no matter how important it is, it is not as important as lard scraps!
You must come early tomorrow, for the lard residue, no, for your life, charge!
