Chapter 2062 Record
Manbao quickly ate two mouthfuls of rice and went back to his room under the pretext of looking for a prescription. Without washing up, he went straight into the teaching room.
Teacher Mo was checking her homework from the previous two days online. When he saw her online, he checked the time, and after a moment of hesitation, he said with a smile, "You're online twenty minutes earlier today than yesterday."
Manbao said, "Teacher Mo, there's a plague here. Do you know about smallpox?"
Teacher Mo's expression straightened. "Smallpox? This infectious disease was eradicated in ancient times. You... Oh, right, your time is still early, in ancient times."
In ancient times when there were no vaccines.
Diseases that have been eradicated will be treatable in the future. Manbao's eyes sparkled as he asked, "How can this disease be cured?"
Teacher Mo frowned and said, "I took a related course in grade 12, but I only studied history and didn't delve into it at all."
After all, it is a virus that has been completely eradicated. In the past, there were research institutes that kept the original smallpox virus, but later, as humans migrated, this thing was destroyed along the way.
So until now, this thing is just a piece of medical history for them.
However, he still remembered some of the treatment methods. "Until it was eradicated, there was no definitive cure or treatment. We could only isolate and treat it, allowing the body to heal itself and develop immunity. The reason humans were able to eradicate it was because of vaccination. It prevented those who hadn't been infected from getting infected again, completely isolating the virus from growing and spreading, effectively eradicating it."
Manbao asked: "Do you have any vaccines? I'm going to an epidemic area, but I've never had pox."
"Is there a vaccine specifically for smallpox?" Teacher Mo said, "No."
Manbao didn't have time to feel disappointed before he heard him say, "But we have several combination vaccines. I don't have data on smallpox virus, so I'm not sure which one is effective. You have to give me the smallpox vaccine."
Manbao perked up, thought for a moment and said, "I don't have it now. I have to go to Xiazhou to get it. How long will it take you to confirm the data after you get the virus?"
"Soon, one day will be enough."
Manbao breathed a sigh of relief.
Teacher Mo smiled and said, "Also, even if we don't have a cure for smallpox right now, it doesn't mean we won't have a treatment once we get the virus data. When the virus was destroyed, medicine wasn't that advanced. Times are different now, and perhaps we have a drug that can help."
Manbao pondered for a moment and then asked, "Teacher Mo, do you like the smallpox virus?"
Teacher Mo: "...I'm not very interested in this myself, but it's also a disease. I'm still very interested in the data and cases of infection with this virus, but the cost of research is rising quickly, and the data you provided can only offset some of the expenses."
The master and the apprentice have always had a tacit understanding in this regard, and they always say what they mean and clearly mark the price.
However, Teacher Mo also felt sorry for his students, so he said, "I'll ask a few more colleagues at school. They might be interested. They have research institutes, and if they're willing to participate in the research, the drug might be developed faster. Or maybe we'll get lucky and have a drug that can control the smallpox virus, so we don't have to spend a lot of money on research."
Manbao said he understood, then asked, "Can I trade drugs directly with you?"
Before Teacher Mo could reply, Ke Ke said, "No."
Teacher Mo also heard this and paused before saying, "This kind of thing has too high a technological content. If you use it in large quantities, it definitely won't work. If you use it in small quantities, I can apply to upload it as teaching material..."
Manbao understood and turned to ask Keke in a flattering manner, "Can I buy it in the mall?"
After searching for a while, Keke said, "It depends on what medicine you need. Anything in the mall will do, but as for quality, I recommend using the ones produced by the Encyclopedia."
Teacher Mo frowned and thought for a moment before saying to Manbao, "The stuff in the encyclopedia is more expensive than in the mall, but it has two advantages. First, it's directly produced by the biological research institute in the encyclopedia, so the quality is better than in the mall, and the after-sales service is also better. Second, the variety is more complete. Some medicines are enhanced versions. In other words, the medicines in the encyclopedia are normal versions, while those in the mall are inferior and less effective."
Manbao thought of something and turned to look at Keke, "Keke, what about the medicine for my mother..."
Keke said, "The ones in the encyclopedia are about 30% more expensive than those in the mall. Could you afford them at the time?"
Manbao thought about how she had worked hard for many years to save up enough points to buy her tube of medicine.
Manbao couldn't help but take another look at his total points, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was still quite a lot.
In the past two years, she occasionally made some money. Jishidiang would occasionally send her some raw medicinal materials, mainly because her reputation had spread.
Some herbal medicine merchants knew that Zhou Man liked living herbs, so they would dig them up and put them in pots and send them to her, not for money, but to please her.
Manbao himself is still quite happy.
Then I would look for methods of preparing medicinal materials in the encyclopedia, and occasionally give them one or two.
She herself is not very good at preparing the herbs, but that's what the herbal medicine merchants do at home. After getting the prescription and thinking about it for a while, she will be able to do it. So, more people like to send her some fresh herbs. If it is not easy to send her a whole plant, they will cut the branches and send it to her with water or soil.
As long as it is still green when it comes to her, she will include it in her collection. Even if some of them have already been included, she will put them up for sale on the forum based on their value. As a result, she will always earn points. In the past two years, apart from occasionally buying some flowers, plants and books, and paying for some course points, she has no other expenses.
The total points accumulated are quite a lot.
After Manbao discussed with Teacher Mo, he did not go out, but went directly to the encyclopedia to look for records and prescriptions about smallpox.
Teacher Mo knew more entries than she did. He input the words one by one and soon bought more than twenty books. He searched directly for the table of contents, circled the relevant ones with a pen, and then handed the books to Manbao. "You can look at these books first. I'll take a look here and then go to other research institutes to see if I can find more related ancient prescriptions."
Manbao nodded repeatedly, feeling satisfied looking at so many books. With so many books, there must be a way, right?
But she opened the catalog and was a little confused when she found the content.
There are very few records about smallpox. In a book as thick as two palms, there may only be two or three pages that record smallpox.
However, the records of Mr. Mo and his colleagues' era were different from theirs. One and a half pages of three pages were about the history and causes of smallpox, half of the remaining one and a half pages were about the symptoms of smallpox, and the remaining half was about prevention and treatment, and most of them were about prevention, not treatment.
Prevention is also very simple. The ancients all got vaccinated.
Among these twenty or so books, the contents of three or four of the seven or eight books that Manbao read at a glance were similar.
Manbao: ...
Although I felt frustrated, I still read it carefully, for fear of missing something.
Tomorrow is a new January, and it will be a new beginning. Do you think there will be more chapters tomorrow?
Hahahaha, see you tomorrow
