Qin Chuan had seen too many socialites like this, and he could easily get rid of them with just two or three words.
Jiang Ning goes to Yuecheng every week. Since Ma Guangnian is too busy to take her with him, she goes to find Lao Hu.
I never went there empty-handed. I would either bring a few pounds of cornmeal or some old rice. I would give it to whoever had time to bring some, and I would consider it as tuition.
Jiang Ning hadn't seen Ma Guangnian for several times in a row, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Old Hu, what is Mr. Ma busy with recently?"
"There's official news that the Eternal Night may be coming to an end soon. A major disaster has occurred in the north, which is likely to affect the south. Teacher Ma has been busy following Academician Li during this period and often doesn't even have time for three meals a day."
Academician Li? He should be the old professor who conquered the smog virus.
Jiang Ning pretended to be gossipy, "What disaster happened in the north?"
As a talented and eye-catching disciple, Lao Hu had nothing to hide. "It hasn't been announced yet. The news came from the capital. The tiny country that discharged the nuclear waste water has experienced the strongest earthquake in a thousand years. An undersea volcano erupted, engulfing the entire country in a short period of time."
It would take a very powerful volcanic eruption to destroy a country in a second.
The amount of volcanic ash produced by a volcanic eruption of this magnitude is incalculable.
Jiang Ning's scalp suddenly felt tingling. The smog was coming!
It turns out that Japan was destroyed in an instant because of the smog disaster.
Jiang Ning was a little anxious. "Can you predict what viruses the haze will bring?"
Lao Hu looked worried. "The finer the volcanic ash particles, the deeper they enter the respiratory tract. When inhaled, the inhalable particles accumulate in the respiratory system and cause many diseases.
Exposure to coarse particulate matter can damage the respiratory system and induce asthma.
Fine particulate matter may cause heart disease, lung disease, respiratory disease, and reduce lung function. For sensitive groups such as the elderly, children, and those with existing heart and lung diseases, the risk is very high. "
This is just physical damage, and the damage to the environment is even more obvious. It not only produces haze, but also causes serious damage to the surface of buildings.
If there is a typhoon or rain, wet and heavy volcanic ash will fall down, and in serious cases it can directly collapse the roof.
Seeing that she was very scared, Lao Hu comforted her while teaching, "Don't worry too much. The research institute has been cultivating related medicinal herbs in recent years. You have to believe in our doctors, they will definitely overcome the difficulties."
Jiang Ning nodded, "Well, I believe you can do it!"
The class is over, pack up and leave.
As soon as she got downstairs, she saw Ma Guangnian coming out of the glass shed, followed by several students and an elderly man in his seventies.
He is thin, with half gray hair, but looks energetic.
Jiang Ning stepped forward and said hello, "Teacher Ma, long time no see."
Ma Guangnian was very happy, "Xiao Jiang is here, please wait a moment, I have something to tell you."
After sending Academician Li upstairs, he instructed several assistants on their tasks before coming over. “I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy lately that I didn’t even have time to bring you over.”
"It's okay, I can figure it out slowly by myself, teacher, don't delay important things."
Ma Guangnian still had a lot of things to do, so he cut to the chase: “I heard that a volcano on an island country is erupting, and volcanic ash may be blowing all the way down. Although we are far away, it may cause a haze disaster.
I don’t know what diseases smog will cause, but it will definitely be a tough battle. Now is the time to truly test our medical staff.
After so many years of natural disasters, many outstanding talents have been lost. Our task is very arduous. Officials from various cities have received the news and are urgently gathering medical personnel. By then, the remaining medical personnel from Pengcheng, Dongguancheng, Xiangshan and other places will be concentrated in Yuecheng, and we will face this battle together.
And we must win, or the disaster will be unimaginable.
Jiang Ning, are you interested in joining?"
Jiang Ning's head buzzed for a moment, and it took him a while to find his voice, "Teacher, I do."
She was worried that she couldn't find a reason.
She has been preparing for several years to win this battle.
"Well, you have to be prepared at all times. Once the smog arrives and cases are produced and clinical observation is possible, we have to race against time."
Jiang Ning opened his mouth and wanted to ask what preparations the research institute had made, but he swallowed the words back.
Not to mention that various testing equipment have been destroyed by natural disasters, I am afraid that even the most basic items such as protective clothing and masks cannot be obtained.
Jiang Ning drove back to Fengcheng with a heavy heart.
That night, after much consideration, she finally found Qin Chuan and asked, "Brother Qin, is there any way to get some protective clothing, masks or alcohol?"
"Sister-in-law, the natural disaster happened many years ago. Even if these things exist, they are already expired."
Jiang Ning thought about it and it made sense. With the repeated bad weather, the things would be ruined no matter how well they were preserved.
She thought over and over again about the Chinese medicinal materials she had stockpiled over the years. Fortunately, she had planted enough mugwort, which could achieve a certain bactericidal effect if made into mugwort wool.
"I met Academician Li today." Jiang Ning described the old man's appearance and looked at Huo Yishen and asked, "Is it him?"
Huo Yi nodded deeply, "Yes, it's Academician Li."
Jiang Ning mentioned Ma Guangnian's invitation to join the research team, but she was worried about Huo Yishen following the two of them. "Why don't we find a chance and go together?"
As long as the smog virus does not change and the two most critical medicines are ready, this battle should not be as difficult as in the previous life.
Huo Yishen did not refuse, "Well, we will decide based on the circumstances."
The eternal night lasted, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
I felt a little blinded by the feeling.
Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes and saw light coming in from the window.
The sunlight was not dazzling, it even felt a little dim and gray.
Jiang Ning suddenly realized something and reached out to pull the curtains.
It's dawn.
The eternal night disappeared.
She saw the sunlight, which seemed so dim in the haze, as if covered by countless dust.
I thought about the butterfly effect, but I didn't expect it to be cumulative damage.
According to Huo Yishen's memory, the smog arrived about half a month after the end of the eternal night.
Due to the lack of wind, the smog spread slowly. It was only light at first, so people thought it was just fog. Until someone came out coughing, there was even a layer of dust on the face after being outside for a long time. Finally, the smog made visibility less than 5 meters.
But now it’s different. As soon as the eternal night ended, smog came, leaving no chance for the survivors to breathe.
No, the smog had already arrived before the eternal night was even over, but no one could see clearly in the darkness, let alone discover its existence.
Jiang Ning suddenly became nervous.
She quickly took her own pulse and tested her cardiopulmonary function by holding her breath through deep breathing, and felt that there was no problem for the time being.
Huo Yishen was woken up by her. When he saw the thick fog outside the window, he couldn't recover for a long time and couldn't help coughing twice...
