Struggle in the Steam Age

"How is the effect of this batch of recipes we have adjusted?" After listening to the conversation in the room at the door, Lawrence turned to the next office and asked the priest of the Church of Suffering who was counting the data. "I walked around here just now, and I saw that this group of people seems to be in better condition than the previous group at the same time."

"Of course, the current experimental situation is mainly good news for us, Your Excellency." After asking Lawrence to sit opposite him, the head of the Church of the Passion in this sea area (because in this sea area Only New Shore has the clergy of the Church of the Passion) to Lawrence.

"We have basically figured out most of the nutrients and the corresponding functions of these nutrients in the human body, such as carbohydrates, fats, etc., which can provide most of the energy needed by our bodies, while the trace components we named Vitamin No. 1 are Determines whether a person will develop night blindness."

"It seems that your research progress is quite fast, and it has even exceeded my fastest expectations for you." While listening to the priest's report, Lawrence picked up the pile of documents on the cabinet beside him and read After getting up, he was a little pleasantly surprised to find that these researchers had successfully summarized the common diseases in his memory caused by the lack of various nutrients.

"It's actually not all our credit." The young priest in front of him said with a little embarrassment on his face at this time. "The existing medical classics record a lot of knowledge in this area, but unfortunately no one thought of summarizing these things systematically before you. I think you can be called the pioneer of this new discipline. "

"Actually, it's not all due to me. Compared with those previous scholars who discovered this theory from scratch, I only proposed this concept by standing on the shoulders of Titans." Lawrence, the knowledge carrier, also seemed a little embarrassed when the priest held such a handful.

However, Lawrence has never regretted carrying this knowledge in his heart. After all, compared with some knowledge similar to culture, these knowledge related to medical treatment and productivity can save countless lives one day earlier. That being said, everything else doesn't matter at all.

"You are indeed a great scholar, and you are so humble." The priest of the Agricultural Church stood up and bowed to Lawrence and said, with a respectful look on his side. The priests in this world often don't care too much about their secular status and status, but they will respect all kinds of knowledge and those who come up with knowledge, especially knowledge related to the gods they serve. That's why the priest showed respect for Lawrence.

"It's nothing, it's just that I was very lucky to perceive some inspiration." Lawrence waved his hand and said, then took out a form and put it on the table. "Let's continue our research now. I just looked at this table and think that the ration of concentrated orange juice should be increased for groups A and B, because they have begun to show a little lack of vitamin III. Apparently the drying step makes the vegetables lose most of their vitamin 3—”

In the next period of time, Lawrence began to devote most of his energy to the research of the new discipline of nutrition between the Medical Research Institute and the New Immigrant Quarantine every day. And Safir and Nora will sometimes accompany him out to help him study this issue.

One day a week later, when Lawrence was presiding over the work in the Medical Research Institute with two ladies, there was a knock on the door of the office. Safiel stepped forward to open the door, only to find that waiting at the door was a priest of the Agricultural Church wearing a green priestly robe.

"Priest Hans, why are you here?" After Safir brought the man in, Lawrence was a little surprised the first time he saw the priest's face, because he found that the priest was in charge of the bay before. The priest of the Agricultural Church raised in a cage, what's even more strange is that he is still carrying a bag made of rattan in his hand.

"We found something very strange and thought we need to tell you about it." The priest said as he put the bag next to him on the ground, and then took out a large fish the size of an adult man's thigh from it. "The bay where we are located has attracted a lot of fish from the open sea since the establishment of a complete set of submarine ecosystems, and we will naturally go fishing after work, but the fish caught by a fisherman today seems a bit strange. normal."

"Isn't it normal?" Lawrence said, turning around from behind the table to look at the fish, and immediately discovered the strangeness of the fish: the fish had been disemboweled and all its internal organs removed. However, it still maintains a state of being alive and kicking. Considering the distance from the fish farm to this side and the fact that these priests are generally used to traveling on foot, a fish that was emptied at least half an hour ago is in this state. It seemed obviously wrong.

"What's going on here?" Lawrence didn't care about the blood and stench on the fish at this time, but took the fish and observed it carefully. Soon, he found the blood on the fish. Some not so normal places then raised his head and asked. "Priest Hans, how long has it been since this fish was caught?"

"It took about two hours for the fish to be caught, and it has been more than 40 minutes since the fish was gutted out." Priest Hans said very seriously. "I know that sometimes fish can still react to the outside world after they die, but this situation is beyond the normal range, which is why I came to see you."

"Your worry is right, because judging from the rottenness of the fish, the fish should have been dead for a day or two. It's just that the water temperature in the water is low, so it's not so rotten. People can see it at a glance." Lawrence said that he picked the scales of the fish scales with his hands, and then several people present saw those scales on the fish's body were gently peeled off with his hands, and a large piece fell directly.

"In other words, the fish is not relying on its muscles to jump here." Nora, who had been helping Lawrence with the documents before, said, and then shot out a lot of silver and green silk threads from her fingertips After fixing the strange fish, he began to manipulate the silk threads to dissect the fish.

With a flash of silver light, the whole fish was immediately cut and divided into two piles according to the cut content. After a crackling sound, everyone's attention was focused on the pile of bones. Because this pile is a very complete fish bone, and now it is jumping up and down on the ground, revealing an inexplicable strange feeling.

"I feel the power of disease and death from inside." Looking at the fish bone emitting a faint green light, Priest Hans immediately became nervous and released an explosive force on the fish bone that was still bouncing on the ground. Due to the magic of reconnaissance, he soon raised his head and said to Lawrence, "And I can feel that this fish should have been polluted by this power when it was alive, and then it was slowly transformed into what it is now. .”

"The power of disease and death? It does sound a little troublesome." Lawrence frowned and said, because for some reason, he suddenly remembered the drifting boat whose people disappeared inexplicably and the boat at that time that had not been tracked down until now. something on board.

Also out of this concern, he directly notified the matter to several churches on the island in his own name, and began to mobilize the forces under his control to prepare for the battle.
