Chapter 517
A plague ended the war, but it also allowed the Xuanzhen Sect to win—under the plague, everything was bleak!
In the evening, Zhang Hao got the exact data from the Xuanzhen Sect: the core area where the plague broke out, mainly the former foggy area, and around Jianchi Mountain, was the area where the previous war was the worst, and the ground was soaked with blood.
On the Xuanzhen Sect side, tens of millions of legions were infected—by the time the plague was confirmed, it was already too late!
Tens of millions of legions were infected, which made the fruits of the Xuanzhen Sect's previous victory come to naught.
But the Xiaoyao faction is even more uncomfortable. The team they temporarily organized and prepared to fight back has also been infected on a large scale. Zhang Hao is not sure about the situation of the Xiaoyao faction, but he is definitely not optimistic.
Under the plague, there is no winner.
Both sides can be said to be lose-lose!
Fortunately, there is one thing that the two holy places did well. Under the plague, they let go of their prejudices, joined forces to seal off the plague area, and brought the plague under control. However, both sides had more than 20 million troops, all of which were shrouded in the shadow of death.
Also, the situation has a greater impact on Xuanzhen Sect - the previous misty area was also an area with a high incidence of plague, and this place has been occupied by Xuanzhen Sect. Naturally, a large number of legions, late-stage personnel, and even people in the occupied areas of the Xuanzhen Sect suffered from the plague.
The news of the plague spread at an explosive speed, and everyone in the Fertile Soil Continent changed color for a while.
Looking at the news, Zhang Hao finally sighed after thinking for a long time.
When he first came to this world, Zhang Hao had this kind of worry - will the virus mutate in this world of practice?
But Zhang Hao just sighed, and put this idea aside. Because, what Zhang Hao saw at that time, almost no one got sick. A practitioner is powerful, including physically. Microorganisms such as viruses probably cannot cultivate.
But the outbreak of the plague this time made Zhang Hao gasp: If it doesn't come, it's over, and if it comes, it will be a super plague!
At this time, Xuanzhen Sect was in a panic. No, Hong Yunzi found Zhang Hao and asked Dayang Group if there was a solution——Your industrial development is so good, can you try it against the plague?
This is a typical emergency medical treatment.
In Hong Yunzi's words: Maybe I'm just talking nonsense, but what if it's useful?
Zhang Hao asked the restless Hong Yunzi to sit down, and asked slowly: "Master, the plague... shouldn't have erupted all at once, right? We didn't find anything wrong before?"
Hong Yunzi sighed: "I also found some soldiers sneezing before, but everyone didn't pay attention. After all, the war is so fierce, shells are coming and going every day, and the sky is gloomy. Sneezing is really normal. up.
Who would have thought that tens of thousands of people suddenly sneezed yesterday, and some even fell asleep and their faces turned black. At first we thought it was the Xiaoyao faction poisoning.
After confirming that the Xiaoyao faction is also the same, and after all the usual methods are ineffective, we are finally sure that it is a plague!
Plague, how many years does not come across once, to be precise, since the establishment of Xuanzhen Sect, it has only been encountered twice. "
"How did you solve those two times?"
Hong Yunzi was silent for a long time before he said: "At that time, we could only wrap the plague area with a large formation, and wait... the plague will disappear by itself!"
Hearing this, Zhang Hao gasped. This method...is too cruel, but it must be said that it is the most correct choice when there is no way to treat it. If the plague spreads because of the so-called benevolence, it will be truly miserable.
But Zhang Hao also understands the current situation of the Xuanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect - it is very likely that they will continue to use the old method to close the front line and let tens of millions of soldiers and tens of millions of people in the theater die.
Zhang Hao pondered for a while, and said, "Master, although the plague is terrible, it can only be regarded as a disease, right? And we have many ways to cure the disease."
"Plague is indeed a disease, but it is different from ordinary diseases. For ordinary diseases, you can heal yourself by taking some medicine or practicing a little.
But the plague is different. The disease seems to be combined with people. When people are strong, so is the plague.
We have given the soldiers elixir, but when the soldiers look rosy, the plague is also skyrocketing. In the end, those who took the pill died first. "
Zhang Hao's face was solemn, and he nodded slowly after a while, "Master, I probably know it. However, I wonder if I can ask Master to come back and bring back some samples of the plague.
It is the corpses, blood, etc. of sick soldiers. It is best to collect two to three copies of Qi refining stage, foundation building stage, Jindan stage, etc.
All soldiers and samples must be preserved with seals, and there must be no air leakage. "
"I can do this! I'll come as soon as I go!" A trace of relief flashed across Hong Yunzi's face—after Zhang Hao heard about the plague, he didn't shirk or fear, but instead asked for samples.
Regardless of whether Zhang Hao can solve the plague (in fact, Hong Yunzi does not have much hope), at least this statement is enough.
Hong Yunzi returned very quickly, and he returned late that night. He brought a total of more than 20 corpses and thousands of blood samples, all of which were sealed.
Also, ten living Golden Core Stages, but each of them has turned gray, with blood vessels appearing on their faces, like black tree roots, extremely ferocious. These golden core stages were also temporarily sealed, and the seal could prolong their lives, but it seemed very painful, but fortunately they were all completely unconscious.
After Zhang Hao received all the samples, he immediately entered the Zhang family's chemical research base—this place was originally Zhou Xueyao's research base, but at this time Zhang Hao had to rely on Zhou Xueyao's medical foundation.
But Zhang Hao didn't let everyone start research immediately. After the samples were properly parked, Zhang Hao summoned Zhou Xueyao, Huang Mingshan, Swordsmen and others, and began to explain.
Finally, Zhang Hao pointed to the sample and said: "Everyone, this plague has involved the lives and deaths of at least 50 million people. It's fine if you don't know it. Now that you know it, what I mean is: we need to do our best!
Even if nothing is achieved in the end, we cannot stand still.
This is the plague, the common enemy of our mankind!
This is a battle, and we are fighting an invisible enemy. "
"Well said! I agree!" Fu Yun was the first to respond, "Tell me, what do we need to do?"
Zhang Hao didn't speak immediately, but slowly looked at the crowd. Zhou Xueyao looked at the 'sample' and nodded solemnly, "I will never stand still on this matter."
Swordsman and other Zhang Jiaxin's more than twenty Huashen also nodded one after another—everyone is Huashen, and they are really not afraid of this thing. Currently, the plague only affects the Golden Core Stage.
Naturally, Huang Mingshan and other Zhang family researchers would not refuse - they believed in Zhang Hao; moreover, what Zhang Hao said also made their blood boil.
Zhang Hao looked at the crowd. In fact, there was a flash of disapproval in some people's eyes, but because Fu Yun made his statement first and the atmosphere was such, he had to nod. But Zhang Hao doesn't care, as long as everyone nods.
After a short pause, Zhang Hao spoke slowly: "Thank you for your trust and support. But since we have to fight an invisible enemy, we can't fight unprepared. In fact, I had some ideas about the plague a long time ago. And did some simple research.
I don’t know if you have a feeling of deja vu when you see the current medical records? "
As he spoke, Zhang Hao slowly took out a steamed bun from the storage ring—but it was a moldy steamed bun.
Everyone's eyes swept between the steamed buns and the case, and gradually a look of enlightenment appeared in everyone's eyes.
Zhou Xueyao was the first to speak: "Yes, they are similar! Does that mean that these two phenomena are caused by some similar reason?"
Zhang Hao nodded affirmatively: "I think so too. And after my observations, I think that the cause of the moldy steamed buns is very likely to be a...creature!
A tiny, invisible microbe that we've never noticed!
All of you here are the elites of the Zhang family. I believe that you have also come into contact with the periodic table of elements in this period of time. According to the periodic table to describe the world, the world is composed of fixed elements.
But the element is very small, small beyond imagination. If we want to study elements, we cannot study them directly, but only through indirect methods.
So, since there are such tiny elements, is there an equally tiny life? Are they simple and consist of few elements? "
Everyone was lost in thought, and many people even had a flash of shock in their eyes.
Zhao Dahe exclaimed even more: "On the top is Zhou Tianxing Dou, and on the bottom is the periodic table of elements. We are unraveling the secrets of this world!"
Zhang Hao smiled, raised the moldy steamed bun again and said, "Then, let's start with this moldy steamed bun!"
With the bait of 'World Secret', Zhang Hao was a little dumbfounded by the enthusiasm of these cultivators.
The next morning, the first microscope appeared. It was very simple, but it could already see the cell structure of algae clearly.
In the evening of the second day, the fourth microscope appeared, and the internal structure of the cells could be seen clearly, and the general structure of the mold on the steamed buns could be seen. A world of microorganisms appears in front of everyone.
The world of microorganisms is surprisingly beautiful. The hyphae of the mold seemed to form a quiet, turquoise forest, swaying gently in the weak air currents, and small 'flowers' swayed constantly at the top of the 'jungle', shedding 'pollen'.
All of a sudden, there was a sensation inside the Zhang family. They have discovered a new world, a world that has been around but has not been able to discover.
This discovery is of great significance to practitioners!
By the evening of the third day, a microscope that could observe viruses appeared! This microscope was personally polished and refined by Zhao Dahe, Swordsman and his wife, and many others, using the best crystal as the lens.
The keen eyes of the cultivators saw the virus with such an optical microscope abruptly! And it is the virus of this plague!
Everyone sees the virus, and also sees the way the virus destroys the cells—that is, the way the virus affects the living body and the way it attacks.
Everyone was amazed.
However, just when Zhang Hao wanted to urge everyone to invent 'penicillin', an unexpected situation happened: Yan Wushuang, a swordsman, observed his drinking water, food, and elixir with a microscope, and found that there were countless compensations. Suddenly, the heroine let out a terrifying scream!
So in less than four days, everyone changed from the excitement of discovering the new world to fear.
Then... It took Zhang Hao a whole day to let everyone slowly accept the fact that we are surrounded by microorganisms, even in the air we breathe, there may be hundreds of microorganisms.
Only Zhou Xueyao's composure surprised Zhang Hao. From the beginning to the end, Zhou Xueyao didn't show anything special. She was studying how to kill the plague virus.
If you want to kill viruses, you also need to use microorganisms. Zhou Xueyao extracts mold from steamed buns, various meals and nature.
In the face of the panic among the crowd, Fairy Zhou accused, "Everyone, this is not the time to be afraid! We have been in touch with these things for so many years, and we have time to study them in the future. The most urgent task is to find out the killer of the virus!"
Ahead, there are at least 50 million people waiting for our rescue!
At present, only we have this ability! "
Cultivators are really extraordinary, especially those who were repeatedly selected by Zhang Hao to join the core of the Zhang family. Everyone quickly recovered and began to study.
This time, Zhang Hao opened his golden finger, and under Zhang Hao's explicit or covert command, it took less than five days to determine the penicillin.
A mold extracted from moldy grapes is cultured, and its dried powder has a strong anti-virus ability, but its impact on the human body is almost negligible.
This powder is called 'penicillin'. Because the purification method is not good enough, the penicillin is light yellow-green and a little gray.
First of all, penicillin was tested on all blood samples, corpses, etc., and achieved very good results.
Afterwards, those ten sealed golden elixir cases became the first batch of clinical trial subjects. However, these experimental subjects were in a coma state from beginning to end, ignorant of the outside world. experiment, without their consent.
Under the auspices of Zhou Xueyao, penicillin is injected into the human body through oral administration or injection. Then the ten people were sent to the observation room outside, and they found the anxious Hong Yunzi to observe.
At this time, Hong Yunzi looked anxious, and when he saw Zhang Hao, he immediately yelled, "Boy, where have you been for the past five days, and how is your research going?"
Zhang Hao took Hong Yunzi's hand and came to the front of the hospital bed: "Master, this is our achievement. Master, take a look, their situation should turn around in the next 12 hours.
As long as these people can wake up, make sure our methods work. Next, we will launch a large-scale rescue! "
When Hong Yunzi heard that there was a result, his eyes widened instead, "Really... have you researched it?"
"Not sure yet." Zhang Hao's eyes were full of confidence—in fact, after seeing that penicillin killed the virus in the sample with a 100% success rate, Zhang Hao was 'sure'. However, human experiments cannot be sloppy after all.
Zhang Hao will never forget that some people have different constitutions and are allergic to penicillin. Sometimes, this allergy is more deadly.
But Zhang Hao knew better that he could no longer care about allergies at this time. Those who are allergic are one in a thousand; in contrast, saving more people is the right choice.
