"Blair?"

"Is Blair here too?"

"He's that damned Blair!"

"Damn it, he's the one who invented such a superfluous thing as the stethoscope!"

...

As soon as Catherine finished speaking, Chen Luo and Christine didn't open their mouths, and the surroundings seemed to be frying, boiling up in an instant, and the atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than the discussion of the plague just now.

At the same time, Chen Luo also felt deep resentment from the people around him.

However, he is regarded as a devil in the mathematics world, a symbol of evil, and he has long been used to being hated.

Chen Luo ignored everyone, but looked at Catherine, and asked, "Doctor Catherine, have you found out exactly what disease caused the plague?"

Catherine shook her head and said, "Not yet, this kind of disease has never occurred in the capital, and the doctors don't know what kind of medicine to prepare."

"What kind of symptoms does the patient have?" It is not easy for doctors in this world to diagnose the disease, so Chen Luo changed the way of asking.

Catherine looked at him and said, "The patient sweats a lot, has a headache, is thirsty, and often has intermittent chills or fever..."

Chen Luo asked: "Is the interval between the two attacks just about two days?"

Catherine froze for a moment, looked at him, and asked in surprise, "How do you know?"

This conclusion was just discovered by several doctors. The patient is generally normal between the two attacks of the disease, but every time the attack occurs, he will immediately fall into danger and even die...

Chen Luo murmured: "Malaria..."

He is not a doctor, but he has also heard of malaria's stigma.

Malaria, AIDS, and tuberculosis are known as the three major diseases in the world. Malaria, an intermittent fever disease, is dubbed "the murderer of millions of people". If the impact of malaria is evaluated based on the number of victims and the degree of damage, then , it is arguably the most devastating disease in human history.

Throughout the 17th century, malaria ravaged the world and nearly killed Kangxi, and even into the 19th century it remained a common disease in continental Europe.

After entering the 21st century, nearly 300 million people in the world are infected with malaria every year, and 1 million people die because of it. This is still in the modern age of advanced medical technology, and in the continent of God, where bloodletting therapy is still the mainstream, and there is no specific medicine, the patient is infected with malaria. , If you want to survive, you can only rely on luck.

Catherine looked at Chen Luo in confusion, and asked, "What?"

Chen Luo came back to his senses and said in a low voice, "I may have a cure for this plague."

When Catherine heard this, her face showed joy, she grabbed his hand excitedly, and asked, "Student Blair, is this true?"

Chen Luo nodded and said, "I read in a book before that some people called this disease "malaria" and successfully cured many patients."

Catherine hurriedly asked, "Where is that book now?"

Chen Luo shook his head and said, "I lost it when I moved, but I still remember the two medicines for treating malaria. The premise is that we can find the raw materials..."

While the medical association and other doctors were still arguing about what method to use to treat this plague, Chen Luo, Catherine and Christine had already arrived in a quiet room.

When Christine closed the door, Catherine looked at Chen Luo and asked eagerly, "What materials are needed to make that potion?"

The discovery of quinine as a cure for malaria was one of the greatest achievements of 17th century medicine.

The reason why Chen Luo understands this knowledge is because Tu Youyou’s team discovered artemisinin, solved the problem of ineffective antimalarial treatment, won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, and stood on the Nobel Prize podium as a Chinese, making domestic When mainstream and non-mainstream media rushed to report, Chen Luo, who was in college, was also one of countless young people who were proud of Chinese scientists.

For this reason, he went online to learn about malaria, and he also knew that quinine was the best specific medicine for malaria before artemisinin.

However, the cinchona tree used to produce quinine is not native to South America, and Chen Luo doesn't know whether such a tree exists in Shenen Continent.

Chen Luo looked at Catherine and said, "It's a kind of tree. I don't know the name of the tree. I only know that its bark is grayish brown, relatively thin, with shallow and many cracks, and the corolla is white or light yellowish white. Has pale yellow villous hair..."

Catherine looked at Chen Luo and said confusedly: "I know many plants, but I have never heard of this kind of tree."

Chen Luo sighed. There may not be any plants in this world that even Catherine doesn't know, but they certainly don't exist near the capital. The way to treat malaria through quinine is temporarily blocked.

Apart from quinine, Chen Luo knew that the only thing that could treat malaria was artemisinin.

Artemisia annua is widely distributed and grows in temperate, frigid and subtropical regions of Europe and Asia. Chen Luo rarely goes out and has never seen it in the Kingdom of Lorraine, which does not mean that it does not exist.

Chen Luo looked at Catherine again, and said, "There is also a plant that is as tall as a person, and the plant has a strong volatile fragrance.

gas. Roots vertical, narrowly spindle-shaped; stems about adult height, with longitudinal ribs, green when young, later turning brown or reddish-brown, much branched..."

Before Chen Luo could finish speaking, Catherine blurted out, "Xiangsicao!"

She took out thick books from the bookshelf in the corner, flipped through them for a while, pointed to one of them, and asked, "Is this what Blair is talking about?"

Chen Luo recognized at a glance that the thing named "Fragrant Silk Grass" in the book was Artemisia annua.

He breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "That's it."

"How to use it?" Catherine continued to ask: "After mashing it to extract juice, do you give it to patients?"

Chen Luo shook his head and said, "Taking it directly won't have much effect, we need to extract the active ingredients from it."

Catherine asked: "How to extract?"

Chen Luo thought for a while and said, "First, we need to prepare some alcohol with high purity, and then we need to use alcohol to prepare some ether. First, we need to prepare a large amount of sweet silk grass. How to extract it, we will talk about it later..."

For most people, high school is the pinnacle of wisdom in their lives.

Back in those days, Chen Luo also knew the principles of celestial bodies operation and organic and inorganic reactions; he solved elliptic hyperbolas before drawing cell biospheres; Element table, able to understand physical circuit diagrams...

After entering university, except for his professional knowledge, he is almost illiterate.

Now he has forgotten most of these things, the remaining knowledge, the extracted artemisinin, although it is better than directly pounding the juice, but the purity is not very high.

But what Chen Luo couldn't do didn't mean Catherine couldn't do it.

A wizard's understanding of plants is not comparable to that of a magician. They can even use witchcraft to extract part of the plant's components out of thin air. This is mentioned in Heriye's handbook, but he did not record the specific method. .

Catherine was obviously not worried about the purification, Christine said: "I'll have someone prepare a large amount of fragrant silk immediately!"

Christine quickly made arrangements, and Chen Luo finally felt relieved. He didn't want malaria to be rampant in the capital, and he didn't want Alice to die.

After the tense atmosphere was lifted, Chen Luo suddenly found that Christine was looking at him suspiciously.

Chen Luo asked, "Is there anything else Her Royal Highness wants to do?"

Christine said, "Call me Teacher Christine."

"...Okay." Chen Luo looked at her and asked again: "Is there anything else Mrs. Christine wants to do?"

Christine folded her arms, looked at Chen Luo, and asked, "Tell me, you saw these from a book, what's the name of that book, and what else was written on it?"

This kind of reason really cannot be hidden from Christine. As a princess, she is well-informed, and if Chen Luo continues to make up, it is very likely that she will reveal her truth.

He smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Teacher Christine. In fact, I didn't read it from a book. It was taught to me by a doctor who traveled to the mainland. It's just that he told me not to say it casually. Since Ke Teacher Christine asked, and it’s okay to tell you..."

"doctor?"

"Yes." Chen Luo nodded, and said: "The matter started from a winter three years ago. That winter, the snow fell heavily in Yabo City, and an old man with gray hair fell at the door of my house. ..."
