Chapter 216: Phased Victory
When the big man said this, Chief Alliance Officer Li thought of the Silver Heart Centifolia that he had seen this morning.
If the environment is changed to prevent locusts from hatching, silverheart clover can be planted on a large scale.
It has a short growth cycle, and if the land is to be recultivated, it is only necessary to wait for the silverheart clover to die and then turn the soil.
As he was thinking, General Alliance Officer Li remembered Shen Yanming mentioned by Qiu Man. He raised a group of chickens in his own field. With these chickens, they should be able to eat the locusts in the field and protect the harvest, right?
It seems that they still need to explore new farming models.
As for spraying pesticides, it is still unknown whether it will have an impact on those plants. What's more, the locusts are not concentrated now, so the effect of spraying is difficult to guarantee.
Just like they have tried to spray mosquito repellent from airplanes recently, but the effect is minimal.
Therefore, General Alliance Officer Li issued instructions to all the big guys to pay close attention to foreign developments, on the one hand, official statements, and on the other hand, information from the public.
In addition, chicken farms and duck farms in various places should increase their breeding scale and, based on local conditions and while ensuring their own safety, release chickens and ducks to eat as many locusts as possible in nearby farmland.
General Alliance Officer Li also talked about Shen Yanming's situation of raising chickens and geese in his own fields.
Of course, he concealed Shen Yanming's city and name, and only said that he saw it on the Internet. He asked the agricultural department to learn from it, and then study more reasonable agricultural and animal husbandry plans based on Qinghua's current situation, and strive to make Qinghua's citizens self-sufficient.
Although the information was hidden to ensure Shen Yanming's safety, General Alliance Officer Li was not wrong. There are indeed many families who raise chickens, pigs, and fish by themselves.
Many of them integrate chicken coops and pig pens with their own living environment or farming environment. They are more suitable for the current environment and are very worthy of reference.
As for asking the public to take the initiative to catch and kill locusts, it is better to forget it in the current environment where mosquitoes are flying everywhere. Don't stay at home doing nothing and go out for a walk and get infected with the HZ virus. That would be a waste of time and effort.
After Chief Alliance Officer Li finalized the next arrangements with everyone, he called his secretary in.
The secretary came in with a coffee pot and a dozen paper cups, and then poured coffee for each boss one by one.
Because there were too many people and there wasn't enough to go around, the secretary could only pour a little bit into each cup so that everyone could have a taste.
Chief Alliance Officer Li took his cup, took a sip and said, "Thank you for your hard work today. Although I know that you may not be in the mood to drink coffee after the meeting, why do we work hard? Isn't it to enjoy life in our spare time?
Although I didn’t brew this pot of coffee myself, the coffee beans I used are all top quality. I’d like to share this with you all to help you adjust your mood and face the difficulties ahead with a more resolute heart.”
Everyone was infected by Chief Alliance Officer Li and drank it all in one gulp as if it was a glass of wine in their hands. Only after they finished drinking did they remember that they had forgotten to taste the aroma of coffee.
The big guys shook their heads and sighed. The lingering taste on their tongues clearly told them that this was good stuff. Unfortunately, they were fooled by the boss and drank it without even tasting it.
So, except for a few big guys who left first to arrange their work, the rest were pestering Chief Alliance Officer Li, asking him to tell them where to buy it, as they wanted to go for group buying!
Chief Alliance Officer Li held his forehead with a headache, what should I say?
Three days passed quickly, and Dean Xu finally came out of the laboratory. He excitedly rushed to Chief Alliance Officer Li's office with the report in his hand.
Dean Xu thought he would scream with excitement, but the moment he saw Chief Alliance Officer Li, his eyes turned red. He went straight forward to hug Chief Alliance Officer Li and started crying, not caring if there were other people around.
"Boss, I found it, I found it!"
Chief Alliance Officer Li signaled the big guys to leave first, and then he pulled Dean Xu off him, "Take your time first, and talk slowly."
Dean Xu sat on the sofa, crying like a baby. He could finally make a contribution to Qinghua Country. He finally found something to fight the HZ virus. He was no longer a freeloader.
Dean Xu seemed to want to vent all the stress and grievances he had experienced during this period. No matter how much we tried to persuade him, he would not listen. It was not until more than ten minutes later that he finally calmed down.
Thinking of the reason for coming today, Dean Xu said with a choked voice: "You, the tea you gave me is very good. There is a substance in it that should be able to kill the HZ virus!"
Chief Alliance Officer Li paused in pouring the tea and almost poured the boiling water onto his legs. "Isn't what I gave you only able to kill mosquitoes?"
"ah?"
After being reminded by General Alliance Officer Li, Dean Xu remembered that he originally wanted to test the attack power of this mosquito repellent grass against mosquitoes. During the experiment, he had a sudden idea and dripped the essence extracted from the grass leaves into the blood containing the HZ virus.
Then, Dean Xu began to observe and record. The changes in the HZ virus in the blood shocked him.
Because when the HZ virus is dropped into the blood sample with the extract, it quickly loses its activity.
Dean Xu didn't care about mosquitoes anymore and hurriedly extracted the essence of the remaining silver heart herb and then dripped it into the blood of the patients sent to the hospital today.
As a result, only half of the virus in the blood was inactivated, while the activity of the other half was only reduced.
Dean Xu immediately checked the labels and found that those that were inactivated were patients who had been infected with Unknown No. 1, while those with reduced activity were ordinary patients who had only been infected with the HZ virus.
After reaching this conclusion, President Xu did not dare to delay and went straight to find Chief Alliance Officer Li.
Although it was not a complete success, it can be considered a phased victory. At least some people were rescued.
Perhaps this is what the old saying means: Misfortunes often lie behind blessings, and blessings often lie behind misfortunes.
The painful expressions of those infected with unknown patient No. 1 are still vivid in our minds, but in the blink of an eye, that torturous experience has become their shield.
At least, in today's world where the HZ virus is rampant, the moment Dean Xu discovered the effect of the Silver Heart Centifolia Essence, they no longer have to worry about dying from the virus infection one day.
However, General Alliance Officer Li was still relatively cautious. He flipped through the report and said to Dean Xu: "Old Xu, you only saw that mosquito repellent grass is useful for blood specimens, but it is hard to say whether it has any effect on the human body and how effective it is.
What's more, in what form will you give it to patients?
Should it be taken directly, boiled into a decoction, or injected intravenously?
Should the extracted essence be used alone or should it be supplemented with other medicines?
This is just the beginning, there is still a lot of work to be done!"
Dean Xu slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, there are only a few of those grasses. I have to ask the Academy of Agricultural Sciences to help me breed some.
Also, I have to make the essence into a potion so that it can have the greatest effect, and then I have to find some volunteers to test the medicine.
When I think about it, there are so many things to do!"
