Chapter 14 The Dionysian Medical Forum

Speaking of communication, in fact, it is mainly the story of Dionia's doctor. [No pop-up novel network] The first day was a discussion of medical theory. The various novel medical terms spit out from the mouths of those young doctors Dionia not only he had never heard of, but also a variety of unique medical terms that he had never heard of before. The theory and discovery completely overturned his previous learning and experience, but made him ponder, as if opening a window for him to see a new and broader medical world, how could he not be excited !

Nick Stratus didn't eat much dinner, and spent the whole night thinking about the knowledge he heard during the day. At this time, he just hated that his memory was too poor to remember them all, so that he was thinking about the day in bed. Hearing things so much that I didn't sleep well all night. But the next morning, he was full of energy and rushed to the medical school with Stacypus.

I just arrived at the gate of Dionia Academy. Hundreds of doctors are already waiting there. Of course, they are not waiting for the two Crotone doctors, but waiting for the Dionysian Archon Davos with great anticipation. 's arrival

At this time, Nick Stratus was no longer as extreme as he was before he came to Turii. Through the study the day before and the conversation with other doctors, he deeply understood Davos's sublime among Doctor Dionia. His status, even the Gentile doctors who had heard him speak, spoke of him with respect, which made Nerichstratus curious about Davos and waited quietly like other doctors.

It didn't take long for Davos to come, accompanied by the Dean of the Medical School Helpers, followed by a dozen guards.

The doctors were agitated and wanted to meet them.

Those guards immediately wanted to stop them, but were called back by Davos. He smiled and took the initiative to meet them. Stacey Cordas also immediately asked the doctors to obey the order consciously.

Most of the foreign doctors who came to participate in the forum last year, Davos can call out their names and chat with them happily. The newcomers were introduced by Helps and Stacey Cordas respectively, and Davos welcomed them with a smile.

"Clausus, I remember that you are a famous doctor from Metapontum. What wonderful speech did you bring this time?" Davers said with a smile to the doctor in front of him.

"Don't joke, Lord Davos, how dare I be called a famous doctor in front of you!" Clausus said hurriedly and humbly.

"In this sacred place, there are no adults, only doctors who save lives and medical scholars." Davers corrected with a smile: "Just call me Davers."

"Daves." Clausus bowed respectfully, and then said: "Corio Pampas of Tarantum was unable to attend this forum for some reason, so he asked me to bring it for him. Sorry and sorry for not being able to hear your wonderful speech!"

Davos' expression became a little helpless,

Sighed: "Although Dionia and Tarantum have had some small misunderstandings and conflicts in the past two years, this should not be an obstacle to academic exchanges."

After Tarantum and Messapi reached a peace agreement, their strength gradually recovered, and they became annoyed that Heraclea and Metapontum had left the Tarantum Alliance, and of course, they also hated that they had rescued them. of Dionia. However, now the powerful Dionysian alliance can only make them bear their breath. Diomelas, the radical representative who was ambushed by the Maple coalition and almost wiped out because of his audacity, was criticized by the Citizens Assembly. Being expelled from the city-state, he had no future in the political arena, but in the past two years, he has slyly followed the voice of the people and publicly criticized Dionia many times. With the support of the frustrated people, he was re-elected as the consul at the end of last autumn.

As a result, small frictions between Tarantum and Dionia became frequent. Tarantum people repeatedly entered the territory of Metapontum for no reason; when the fishing boats of Tarantum and Dionia met at sea, there were occasional scoldings and fights; Dionia’s merchant ships were in Tarantum Commodities stacked in the port of Tum are often lost, occasionally seized, etc. Dionia's diplomatic envoys went to Tarantum many times to protest and negotiate, jokingly saying, 'I have spent less time in foreign travel in my life than in Tarantum. ’

But in general, the two sides have maintained restraint, after all, it is still an alliance. Tarantum is also facing pressure from Messapi and Puchetti, and still needs Dionysian support. But it was the newly elected general who played some tricks and tricks to vent the people's depression and respond to the people's expectations for him. And Dionia, out of guilt for poaching Heraclea and Metapontum, opened and closed one eye, trying to calm down.

Davers sighed in his heart, and after greeting the doctors, everyone crowded around him and entered the door.

Just after walking for a while, a person rushed out in front, and Martius was shocked and was about to rush forward to stop him.

He heard the man shouting excitedly: "Daves, it's done! We've done it! We have completed the model design of the Saraceno River Stone Bridge! After testing, there is no problem!"

It turned out to be Mattikoris. Martius slowed down, but it also gave him a reminder, and he immediately ordered the guards to patrol the surrounding area to stop any reckless intruders.

At this time, Davos also looked happy: "This is really great! You hand over the stone bridge model and data to little Heraclid, and when I finish my work here, I will see your great achievements! "

"There is another good news! We have designed a new pulley block, which can make the moment arm for lifting heavy objects rotate 360 ​​degrees in place. You must also come and give us some suggestions for improvement." Reese continued.

Davers was even more happy and made a promise immediately.

Now Mattikoris is not as unreasonable as when he first arrived in Amendolara. While doing research in the School of Mathematics, he also undertakes part of the management tasks. He repeated a few words, and then ran away in a hurry.

"Who is that person?" Nick Stratus was curious about the tone of the conversation with Davos.

"Maticores, the deputy dean of the School of Mathematics, a crazy math genius!" said a Dr. Dionysus.

"Dionia is finally going to start building the stone bridge. This is really great!" A Heraclea doctor said happily. There are many rivers in Heraclea. Although Dionia had been asked to help them build several wooden bridges before, most of the bridges were not submerged in the water during the rainy season. The people of Heraclea were very worried about the durability of the wooden bridges, which were repeatedly soaked in river water for a long time. , With a stone bridge, I feel more at ease.

The deputy dean of the School of Mathematics also asked the young consul for advice. Nick Stratus, who had a good impression of Davers' kind greeting just now, was looking forward to his speech even more.

Davers stood on the pulpit, with the doctors sitting down.

In their expectant gaze, Davos cleared his throat and said calmly, "Because we have already greeted each other at the gate of the academy just now, I won't do the same thing here again."

The doctors let out a chuckle, and every doctor who came to the stage to communicate should introduce himself and greet his peers, which has gradually become the practice of medical forums.

Davos smiled, stretched out his right hand, and clenched it into a fist in the air: "What do you say I'm holding in my hand?"

Nothing! Some people have this idea right away.

Before they could answer, Davos said, "Air, it's omnipresent air, and that's how I got its name. Although it looks like it's nothing, it's inseparable from every single one of us and every animal. I don't believe it. , you can cover your mouth and nose with a sackcloth to isolate it from the air, and soon you will suffocate to death.

Everyone knows this, but why is air that seems to have nothing so important to us? How does it relate to our human body? Today, I will talk about this issue, hoping to arouse your thinking. "

As soon as Davos finished speaking, the doctors widened their eyes and pricked up their ears. Even Helps and Stacey Cordas, who were in the front row, leaned forward with excitement.

"For air to connect with the human body, it must first enter the human body. The entrance, everyone knows, is our mouth and nose, where is the exit?" Davos glanced at everyone: "Some people will say it's **, because Fart."

There was another burst of laughter.

"Of course not. It can even be said that the air that enters our mouth has little to do with the farts that are excreted." Davers said, facing a human-sized wooden mannequin sideways: "Thanks to the doctors of the medical school for insisting The unremitting research on human anatomy and the superb skills of the artisans in Turui have produced the most realistic and exquisite model of the human body structure in the world, and I will use this model to tell you about it.”

In the Greek city-states of this era, desecration of the body was illegal and could even face capital charges. However, out of the search for truth, a few doctors risked their lives to quietly dissect the corpse to solve the doubts in their hearts. Hippocrates is the most famous one. But in Dionysus, because of the high status of doctors, Helps is a member of the Senate, Dionysus also established the Ministry of Health last year, and more importantly, it has the support of Archon Davos, so The Senate specifically legislated for "autopsy": medical schools can use unclaimed slave corpses or unrecognized corpses of enemies on the battlefield for medical research, but each corpse must be registered with the Ministry of Health and not in public. After dissection, it should be buried in the specified place in time after use to avoid causing plague and so on.
