Chapter 571 Cholera 5
"Is Vibrio cholerae so hard to eradicate?"
“From ancient times to the present, cholera is an infectious disease with a very high mortality rate. No matter how advanced medical technology was before the apocalypse, there was no way to eradicate it, let alone now at the end of the world."
Tang Yizheng looks a little serious, "Colera can appear, and other infectious diseases can also appear, outbreaks, bird flu, yellow fever, influenza, echinococcosis, filariasis, dengue fever, malaria, Ebola, schistosomiasis, etc, typhoid fever, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, AIDS..."
After listening to Tang Yizheng's popular science, everyone's expressions changed.
"It's scary that there are so many infectious diseases in the world."
"More than that, all I'm talking about is some of the infectious diseases I know. You still have to be careful. Under the polar night, a new type of bacterial virus that has never appeared before can multiply."
Ye Fu took over the conversation, "To prevent illness, in addition to increasing endurance, you can only reduce contact with others. You should wear protective clothing when going out into the basement. Although troublesome, many infectious diseases are worse than cholera. It will not work for everyone, and it will not cure all diseases. Young children and the elderly have the weakest endurance. In this cholera outbreak, the elderly account for most of the deaths."
Ye Fu looked at Wan Tao and Liu Zhang, "Uncle Wan and Uncle Liu are trying not to leave the basement."
Both of them nodded, "Understand."
Time passed, and it had been more than 20 days since the cholera outbreak. Shen Li occasionally came to eat and brought some of the latest news and progress of the base. Cheng Lin was too busy and never showed up. Meet him again, it's been a month since the cholera outbreak.
“Sister Cheng, your weight is down.” Qi Yuan surrounded Cheng Lin, and raised his hand to pat Cheng Linlie on the shoulder.
"Recently, the food in the office building is not so good, so we cut back on some of it. How are you all doing?"
"Good, but I'm so scared. How's base? Are all of the inhabitants healed?"
Cheng Lin smiled, "Not that fast. Cholera is a contagious disease. Although it has been effectively controlled, people are still infected every day, and people die from the infection every day. But thanks to the special medicine you give, on the contrary, this time the Vibrio cholera outbreak could kill tens of thousands of people."
"Fortunately, special drugs work. How are the shelters in Heguang City and the resettlement houses? The population there is complex, and I'm afraid there will be periodic outbreaks at a later stage."
Ye Fu had always felt that there was a great danger hidden in the shelter in the resettlement house. Most of the people who live there are refugees who have fled from all over the world. They previously lived in refugee camps. Their living habits were influenced by the camp refugees, and there were many brave people, there were also many people who were shy and cowardly. I fear the army will be stationed inside to maintain law and order, otherwise, accidents will be easy to happen.
"The people there are very complex. They had been living in refugee camps for a long time, their bodies were unable to meet the nutrients, and their endurance was weak. The number of deaths there is the highest. The base and Heguang City recently had around ten deaths per day. There were more than 100 people on the other side of the room, and it had nothing to do with any particular drug. Their bodies were long tired, and with cholera, they were already desperate. "Cheng Lin looked very tired, and everyone couldn't ask anymore.
“What about the orphan?” Qi Yuan was most worried about children who had no parents.
Cheng Lin thought for a moment, "The child was the first to receive treatment. After all, the child was young and had many possibilities, so the survival rate of the child should be guaranteed."
Cheng Rin also has an exclusive room in the dungeon, he stays here for a few days and adjusts his condition as best as possible before returning to the office building to continue working.
Cholera has been contained, but has not been completely lost. The base took out a set of protective clothing for everyone. There is no replacement. If it breaks, you can only sew it yourself. After a certain period of time, the protective clothing is often stolen. , There are people who fight over protective clothing in refugee camps, and immediately taken away by the police and detained.
Pharmaceutical factories still produce special medicines, but not many medicinal ingredients remain, and Ye Fu did not have any additional medicinal ingredients to provide.Cheng Lin issued orders for all the young and middle-aged people to go to the medicinal fields to grow medicine, and they could earn it every day his points doubled, suddenly, tens of thousands of applicants flocked to the office building.
No matter how difficult it is, the production can not be stopped, especially now there are solar lights, the work is more convenient.There are also two solar lights installed on the side of the drug field, the, and hundreds of acres of land like daylight.
Ye Fu was also hired to work in medicine, Cheng Lin exchanged many medicinal seeds with him, he had rich experience in planting and instantly became an agricultural expert at the base.
As his follower and assistant, Jiang Rong naturally followed him wherever he went.
The team of experts at the base was very easy to get along with, maybe Cheng Lin had greeted them, and everyone respected them.
The land of the medicinal fields was relatively barren, it used to be a cotton field, but after the end of the world became deserted, and then it developed into a medicinal field.
After staying in the field of medicine for a month, Ye Fu and Jiang Rong returned to the dungeon. During this time, everyone was separated from them, so they could not enter the space to work. After returning, Ye Fu let everyone into the room Everyone was dumbfounded by the ripe wheat.
"Can it be harvested so quickly?"
"It was ready to be harvested half a month ago. The wheat thread is huge. The harvest this time is expected to be huge. It is estimated that one mu of land can harvest 1,800 to 2,000 catties."
"You Fu, are you kidding? Normal wheat can only harvest 800 to 1200 catties per mu."
Ye Fu smiled, "Produced in space, it is naturally different from the wheat outside. You can compare the size of the grain. Wheat scrolls grown in space are twice as large as those grown in the ground outside. "
“I have the right to speak.” Liu Zhang raised his hand.
"When I was at Longtan Base, I was in charge of growing grain. There really is no room to plant it. Land's different. Black soil in a planting area of hundreds of hectares. This time I planted all the wheat, and it was estimated that I could harvest hundreds of acres. Tons."
Hearing the hundreds of tons, Qi Yuan almost fell from his chair.
"We became landlords overnight?"
“His owner is nothing more than mediocre.” Ye Fu was very embarrassed.
"Okay, let's take a day off today and recharge our batteries. From tomorrow, everyone will go into space to harvest wheat, and try to get a month to harvest all the hundreds of acres of wheat."
“With harvester, half a month is enough.” Tang Yizheng was very confident.
"It took you two months to plow the land. Harvesting wheat is much harder than plowing the soil, and you have to hurry. It is estimated that you will not be able to harvest it in a month. By the way, straw wheat is stored and can be given to livestock in the future."
Because of my severe social fear, I did not dare go to the barber shop, so I dyed my own hair at home today, which made me tired, haha
