Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 153 The Customs of the Rat People

Because Lawrence can be regarded as the earliest discoverer of this epidemic, and he is also a member of the Federal Science Association. So the professionals who were invited to deal with the problem did not despise him because of his age.

After synthesizing his opinions and the experience of others, a current most reasonable treatment plan was released soon: critically ill patients will be concentrated in the charity hospitals where the two churches are located to receive extraordinary treatment to reduce mortality, while In several places where the epidemic broke out, the federal government and cities provided tents and simple furniture to establish isolation points to isolate patients and uniformly dispose of their contaminated feces to prevent the further spread of typhoid fever.

Clearly, churches have been very active in this regard. Because for the church, the effect of charity publicity at this time is much better than usual. So it only took ten minutes, and all the materials needed for the whole operation were claimed in place.

For example, after Lawrence pointed out that typhoid patients needed high-nutrition, high-calorie and easily digestible food, the Church of Agriculture and the Church of the Sea generously donated money. For example, the Church of the Sea proposed to donate part of the catch every day during this period, and then borrow large steam pressure cookers from several canning factories to process these catches into minced seafood that is easy to digest and absorb, and then send them to the isolation point to add to the meals of the patients to supplement their nutrition. The Agricultural Church also stated that it would raise part of the food from surrounding farms.

After formulating the plan, everyone immediately stood up and took action separately. If nothing else, this outbreak of typhoid fever will be resolved quickly. After confirming that the disease was related to the polluted water source, Lawrence believed that with similar experience, the probability of outbreaks of such infectious diseases in other places would be greatly reduced in the future.

Perhaps because of the existence of extraordinary power in this world, the typhoid fever that took more than a month to heal in Lawrence's previous life can be cured in this place in just over ten days. After most of the patients had recovered and left the hospital and isolation point, he could finally be free.

During these ten days, Lawrence devoted his main energy to the treatment of the typhoid fever. Other than that, the rest of the time was spent on detailed research on some previous harvests, such as the core of the blood puppet found in the abandoned coal mine last time.

Since the core of the blood golem has been completely damaged, Lawrence can research this thing without taking into account the integrity of the core. Even though he only spent more than an hour a day on research during these ten days, he still gained a lot of knowledge from above.

But what needs to be admitted is that because this thing contains too many technologies unique to the Scarlet Firmament Organization. So when this thing was completely destroyed in the research, Lawrence also failed to crack its core secrets.

"It seems that if we want to crack its core secret, we must obtain more relevant information." Lawrence took out a golden pendant embossed with a skull and inlaid with red gemstones from his waist while thinking. Fall in front of your eyes. "Now that I'm an official-level warlock, I can try to find the last treasure in the Scarlet Sky."

Lawrence has been looking forward to exploring this treasure ever since he discovered the treasure map about the Scarlet Sky and this pendant that was identified as a magic key by [Appraisal]. And this unsuccessful research on the blood puppet in the bloody sky made him make up his mind.

"The eight points on the previous treasure map can exclude the seven points that were discovered by the encirclement and suppression forces back then. After all, the encirclement and suppression forces back then included several legendary spellcasters. If they failed to discover the secret after the search I guess it's impossible to find it." Lawrence murmured to himself after taking out the treasure map.

"Isn't this point too close to the city? It seems that there is a high probability that someone else has discovered it." After briefly comparing the treasure map with the map, he was shocked to find that the treasure land that was once a barren place is now It's actually not far from the city, even next to a satellite town in Huguang City.

If you take into account the roughness of the hand-painted map back then, there is even a high probability that the treasure spot overlaps with the town. In this world, before construction of a small town like this, Transcendents were often invited to conduct exploration. In order to avoid the tragedy of the kind of settlement being completely wiped out by some monsters that emerged from the ground after the settlement was built.

The inference that the treasure might be discovered by others made Lawrence a little frustrated, but he soon convinced himself with a reason and continued to pack his luggage with great interest:

"If someone finds out, it will be a matter of my heart, and I have nothing to lose. So let's just take this as a trip. I don't think I have traveled in my life. I can just go home to visit my adoptive father after the trip. .”

At dinner that night, Lawrence told the two ladies about his travel plans for at least half a month and invited them.

Fatina regretfully declined the invitation. It may be due to the different physiques between rat people and humans. Although rat people are usually more resistant to diseases and harsh environments, they are slower to recover once they are infected with a disease.

Now the rat people in the city's sewers have successfully prevented the spread of typhoid fever with the help of humans and reasonable self-help. At the same time, the rat people who had contracted the infectious disease before are getting better day by day. However, based on the current situation, it can be inferred that it will take at least three weeks for most of the sick rat people to recover.

As the first Ratman to report the Ratman infection to the outside world and get assistance, Fatina was very busy during this period. Because those ratman elders entrusted her with some very important tasks: she not only needs to use the knowledge she learned from Lawrence to guide her compatriots to concentrate on destroying garbage and how to better prevent epidemics. At the same time, it is necessary to communicate with the human beings who have come down, in order to make the most effective use of every assistance.

These tasks are trivial and complicated, so that Fatina sometimes needs to work 18 hours a day, and there is no time to go back to the office to rest. But she herself is content with such high-intensity work.

For Fatina herself, taking the lead to deal with this matter can greatly improve her status among the Ratmen. If this matter can be successfully concluded, she will be able to pull up a clan of her own.

The eldest son inheritance has always been popular among the Ratmen, because this can avoid the dispersion of power caused by equal distribution. However, because the rat people's reproduction speed is one of the best among civilized races, this causes a large number of rat people without inheritance rights to leave the family every year.

The young rat people who left the family would automatically form some new clans with a strong man as the core, and then leave their hometown to go to other places. On the one hand, this can expand the living space of the Ratmen, and on the other hand, it can also maintain the consumption of local resources within a reasonable range, and avoid completely destroying the local ecological chain like locusts.

And the desire to become the patriarch of a ratman clan is engraved in the soul of almost every ratman, especially such things as building a powerful ratman clan from scratch.

Because Fatina is a red dragon warlock, with her original strength, she can organize a group of people to become the new clan patriarch. If she can fully demonstrate her leadership ability in the process of fighting typhoid infection this time If so, she is sure to organize the most powerful clan among all the new ratmen clans near Eagle Fort in the past three years.

This is why Fatina gave up the very tempting treasure hunting plan for her, because she has more important things to do.

However, this does not mean that Lawrence needs to travel alone, because Safir has already dealt with the affairs of the previous factory during this period of time, and at the same time successfully organized his workers and their families to cooperate with each other. The church and the city hall interrupted and quelled the typhoid epidemic in the workers' residential areas, and in the process were very lucky to find a reliable manager who could usually grasp the development direction of the factory. So she just had a free time right now.

As a girl who has been away from home for four years, she now very much wishes to be able to go home and see her parents. At the same time, as a soldier, she also hopes to get rid of the current trivial matters and do some exercise. So after Lawrence's invitation, Safir readily agreed to go on this journey with him.
