It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 317 Time Is Money My Friend
Gretel walked quickly out of the infectious disease hospital.As he walked, he shouted:

"All the priests of the God of Nature Church! All come to my mage tower! All! Put down your work, put down your patients! Immediately!!!"

He added a sound amplification technique to himself, and the sound shook the whole building.Responses sounded one after another from behind:

"Ok!"

"coming!"

"immediately!"

Gretel stopped waiting for them and walked straight ahead.As soon as he stepped down the steps, a horse rushed towards him with billowing smoke and dust. The knight jumped down and grabbed Gretel in a hurry:
"Here I am! Why are there so many patients all of a sudden? What kind of disease is it? What else do you need to do?"

The person who came was tall, with a resolute face and a weather-beaten face. It was the Minister of Emergency Management, Johnny Colin.This Minister Colin had dealt with Gretel several times, and he knew that he would never bother anyone if he was fine. Once he did, it would be a big deal.Before Grete asked him for help, he immediately dispatched the operatives of the Emergency Management Department according to the original plan.

A group of men in black, together with Gretel's apprentices, blocked the block, escorted people to the door, and took samples for inspection. They were too busy.Colin didn't lead the team himself, but sat down into the city hall, forcing the person in charge to send the patrol team out to help. ——The emergency management department handles all urgent matters related to magicians. How can there be enough manpower?At this time, it is decisive to drag the city hall into the water!

He is not someone who has never seen the plague, and estimated that the first wave of outbreaks would have dozens or hundreds of patients.However, as the carriage went back and forth, more and more numbers were reported by the subordinates, exceeding two hundred in one morning.Johnny Colin couldn't sit still anymore, and came to the door in person to ask what was going on with Gretel.

Gretel grabbed him backhanded.While continuing to walk outside the hospital, he spoke faster:
"I'm looking for you! Do you still remember the time when you were asked to chase spies in the middle of the night? How many horses had black spots on their bodies, and some soldiers fell ill with them? —— That's the disease, this time the water source was polluted , the pathogenic bacteria attack through the intestinal tract, which is even more dangerous! I need your help!"

Johnny Colin's whole body shivered.He still remembers that operation vividly. Their entire emergency management department was picked up in the middle of the night and ran along the mountain road for two days and two nights.It is said that the cause of such a big battle was a high-level magician with a prophecy department, who had divination a very ominous omen.

But this time, Gretel said it was more dangerous than last time...

"What else do I need to do?" He asked in a low voice.Gretel replied without hesitation:
"Three things. First, screen the residents of the 12 buildings again. If there are signs of discomfort, all of them will be sent to the hospital as soon as possible;

Second, take water samples from the main drainage pipe of each floor and send them to me for testing. If possible, take water samples from the main gate of each building.If it is determined that the water body is polluted, trace back to the source of the water as soon as possible;

Third, send those who work or study outside to the hospital as soon as possible according to the household list.Where these people used to stay, disinfect them all, and use double-strength disinfectant!double!And you and your subordinates, please pay attention to safety when performing tasks, and don’t touch any food until you go home to wash your hands and change your clothes—”

"I'll make arrangements right away!" Johnny led the horse and followed him, and immediately jumped on the horse after hearing these requests.After taking two steps, he suddenly reined in his horse and turned around, sweeping behind Gretel:
"Is your infectious disease hospital big enough? Can it accommodate so many people?"

Gretel looked troubled.His infectious disease hospital has a rated capacity of 1000 beds—the original plan was that if these beds were really used, healers from the whole city would be recruited, and the patients would be sent away as soon as they were cured...

Next to the hospital, there is also an isolation observation point that can accommodate 1000 people.Now it seems that it is far from enough. Just bring all the residents of those 12 buildings to observe, and the number of hospital beds has to be doubled.

He needs a shelter hospital!Need a temporary isolation point!Volunteers are needed to deliver food and water to those suspected, close contacts and observation subjects!Someone even needs to clean up their poop!The entire social support system is needed to work behind the scenes——

These needs were not unexpected to Gretel when he planned the infectious disease hospital and public health center.After all, he had seen the disaster before crossing, and how the entire social system worked together in the face of the disaster.However, as a third-level magician and the director of the Department of Public Health, there are only so many resources he can mobilize.

For other requirements, the reviewer will give him the following answers:
"we'll talk about it then."

Seeing that a lot of resources are needed now, Gretel wanted to go to the judging meeting, but he couldn't find the time.Johnny looked at his embarrassed expression and nodded clearly: "I understand. We need to expand the site and accommodate more people, right? Leave it to me!"

Before Gretel could reply, he had already whipped him and left quickly.Gretel called after him, "Thank you!"

"Thank you?" Johnny Colin didn't look back, and said from a distance:
"I'm also from the lower city! Help them, it should be!"

Gretel breathed a sigh of relief, and led the students to the Mage Tower.In the tower, there is the special medicine he just made recently, and the only hope against this plague——

There is a strange smell in the mage's tower.The big pot was gurgling, cooking thick corn syrup, and the strange smell of penicillin fermentation was so strong that it couldn't be melted away.Gretel stopped in front of the fermentation room, turned straight, and looked at the female apprentice of the God of Nature Church:
"You wait here, wait for the priests of the God of Nature Church to come and tell them how to spawn Penicillium! I need them to spawn with all their strength! All their strength!"

The female apprentice pursed her lips and nodded.Gretel grabbed another apprentice of the School of Change and continued to walk in:

"Tell Mr. Norwood, go and expand that refining magic circle ten times! One hundred times! Five hundred times! Or make dozens more! I need him to expand production capacity! Immediately! Immediately!"

penicillin!penicillin!In the absence of cephalosporins and other antibacterial agents, the only effective drug against intestinal anthrax was penicillin!Luckily he had already done it before!The penicillium strain was isolated and penicillin sodium was made!
Gretel rushed to the top of the mage tower.Next to the control room, there is a small refrigerator that stores the most precious supplies. Open the door of the refrigerator and take out a small glass bottle.It is one inch high and half an inch in diameter. It can't fill the palm of your hand. It's a tiny point——

It was still in the process of strain selection and trial production before, and it has not entered the stage of mass production at all.So far, cultured, fermented, refined, stored, all penicillin sodium has not been used.Such a small bottle, only 10 bottles are filled.

In each bottle, there are a little more than 5 grams and less than 6 grams.

0.48 grams of penicillin sodium is equal to 80 units, and 4.8 grams is equal to 800 million units. For patients with pulmonary and intestinal anthrax and concurrent meningitis, a large dose of penicillin G, 400 million to 800 million units, is administered every 6 hours, intravenously——

In other words, in the best case, these penicillin sodium can only save 10 lives.

I can only hope that the priests of the God of Nature will speed up - the power of so many priests is always many times stronger than that of an apprentice!
And the damn IV!He has not dared to start the intravenous injection rashly until now, because he is not sure about the sterilization effect of the injection, the sterilization effect of the injection tube is unstable (he can only spawn vines now), and the sealing effect of the connection between the injection needle and the syringe is unstable!
In this case, rashly using intravenous injection is tantamount to injecting bacteria into the patient's blood vessels!
There is really no other way, and I can only gamble with intramuscular injections... Gretel's thoughts are flying.If you don't get treatment, you will die anyway. Intramuscular injection of large doses of penicillin... By the way, you need to prepare injection needles!
Usually, the injection needles in the mage's tower are made as needed during animal experiments, no more than 50 at a time, and destroyed when used up.How many patients are there now?How many pairs of syringes do I need to prepare?
Gretel sat down in the pantry.He opened the space bag and took out a large piece of glass, a piece of metal specially provided by the dwarves—it is said to be a top-secret formula that will not rust—and a large bag of gold coins.He grabbed a handful of gold coins and threw them to the ground, jingling together.

This is a strategic material for emergencies.Gretel has always been sealed up, reluctant to touch it, but now, it's time to use it on a large scale!

He holds the silver bell.The palm of the hand was hard, and the water was almost squeezed out of the surface of the bell, and said in a deep voice:
"Time is money my friend!"

The speech speed is extremely fast, extremely smooth, without any strange accent.Puffs of blue smoke soon came out of the bell, and the little monster jumped down. Gretel pointed to the supplies on the ground, and said in a hurried tone:

"Make syringes! 10ml! Make 1000 first! Hurry up!"

The little monster waved its hands.The glass, metal and gold coins on the ground seemed to have fallen into a magic furnace and melted silently.The metal is cut, pressed into thin sheets, crimped, and cut to ensure that the needle tube is straight and uniform, the needle tip has a sharp bevel, and sufficient strength and smoothness are ensured;

The glass turns red, liquefies, flows, rises in the air, and is shaped into a hollow syringe with the end flared to wrap around the end of the metal needle;

The other end fits perfectly and can be pushed smoothly without any leakage...

A syringe, another syringe, appeared in front of Gretel brightly.It’s just that the speed is a little slower, only 2 pieces can be made per minute, and at this speed, only 1 pieces can be made in an hour!
"Can you hurry up?" He urged:
"Can you increase the speed by 5 times? Make 1 pieces in an hour?"

The intramuscular injection is easy to operate, and every student can complete it independently with a little training.If the penicillin production capacity can keep up, the syringe production capacity can also keep up, and the intramuscular injection of 600 patients can be completed within one hour-then maybe hundreds of lives can be saved!

The gremlin was so engrossed in manipulating the magic power that he didn't answer him.It didn't answer hoarsely until another syringe fell to the ground:

"Money is needed. To increase the speed by 5 times, you need 25 times the gold coins."

"Take it!"

Gretel picked up the purse, but without counting it, it fell down with a clatter.

Time is money my friend!

This moment, time, is life!

ps, reading has plummeted recently... Is it because my writing is not good and no one reads it, or is it that the summer vacation is coming to an end, and the children are all going to make up their summer homework?
Ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass, ask for recommendation ticket, ask for book review, ask for various...

It's the 28th, it's almost the end of the month, the last monthly pass is handed over!Don't hold it in your hand!
