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

Chapter 476 Magic Speeds Up Vaccine Research

What?Can smallpox virus infect cattle?
The eyes of several archmages lit up.

It cannot be infected, which means that this path is wrong, that is to say, if you use this method to get cowpox, you will either not be able to get it, or...

Or, made out of, God knows what.

If the Glorious Holy See really jumped into this trap, then... that would be great!

But the problem is-

"cannot?"

"you sure?"

"How did you know?"

"why?"

Among the eight judges, plus Master Edgar, four or five people blurted out.Gretel's smiling face froze, and cold sweat broke out:
shit!
shit!
Talk too fast!
Smallpox and vaccinia are not the same virus at all-wait a minute, the concept of "virus" has not been established in this world-and smallpox cannot infect cattle, but because the two viruses have similar structures, they are produced after infection with vaccinia antibodies against smallpox—

There is no concept of "antibody" in this world!

This cannot be explained!
Kill me!
"I'm sure! Carlos did the experiment!"

Gretel answered quickly.

Fortunately, Carlos' experiment records show that he has done experiments in this area...

The young necromancer, in his quest for cowpox, tried to infect cows with the pox of a smallpox patient.Of course, there can be dozens of failures.

With this record, it is enough to deal with the doubts of the Archmages.

As for why...

"I don't know why. Anyway, the result of the experiment is like this!"

Gretel suppressed his guilty conscience and answered with his head held high.Unreasonable, very angry:
Well, anyway, the cognition of this world starts with observation, and then in-depth study of the principles.I am not the only one who only knows the appearance but does not know the reason!
This explanation is generally accepted.Then, Gretel saw the scene of the quasi-war machine starting:

"How many cows do you want? - 20 first? No problem! Before tomorrow night, together with the cowshed, pasture, and people who take care of the cows, send them together!"

"How many mad dogs do you want? Ten? Is the first batch of ten enough? No problem! Another 100 rabbits? Operate the cryogenically frozen magic circle? Be in place before 8 o'clock tonight!"

"Need an operator? It's okay, the plague branch will come with ten apprentices first, and if there are not enough apprentices, call for help!"

"Need subjects? Go tell the city hall and call 100 prisoners first!"

"Do you want to expand the research institute? Do you want to build a house? No problem, I'll call someone from the Transformation Department, and I'll be there in the afternoon!"

The judging committee issued an order, and someone would arrange for Gretel any budget forms, personnel and supplies.As for himself, he only needs to be busy with one thing:

write thesis.

Write an experiment plan.

The paper on human pox is very well written.Gretel gave a direction, made a plan, and threw it out, and immediately an unknown apprentice of the Plague School jumped on it with all his heart——

There are already ready-made topics!

There is a general structure!

It can also be recommended for publication, and the grade of the journal will not be low!
You only need to search for information and fill in the content. Where can you find such a good thing?

It is impossible for apprentices like them to have one article after struggling for a year!

The other apprentices looked at him with envy and hatred.Gretel clapped his hands:
"Don't rob, don't rob! Everyone work hard on the project, as long as the contribution is high, there will be second and third works!"

Well, things like attenuated rabies vaccines really need papers and experimental data before they can be published.Gretel, come on!
Of course, before starting the research and development, Gretel had to teach these apprentices how to obtain rabies' brains, spinal cords, etc...

"Put on protective clothing! Wash your hands! Wear gloves! Don't cut your skin. Once you do, come to me and release healing! Don't let the cut skin be contaminated with mad dogs!"

Alas, fortunately, there is healing in this world.If not, the apprentice who accidentally cut his hand has to get out immediately, and is not allowed to participate in research and development until he recovers...

And, fortunately, this is a group of mage necromancer apprentices, all of whom have experience in dissection.Gretel was very worried about switching to evocation or conjuration, and he had to teach them how to hold a scalpel.

Necromancers are really easy to use.

Necromancy is indeed the closest sect to a surgeon.

certainly.Regarding the aseptic operation, I still have to teach it from the beginning...

Gretel divided the apprentices in the rabies group into three groups, each with three people, to deal with the mad dog's brain, spinal cord, and saliva respectively.

Direct injection; Injection after natural drying: Injection after drying with [Touch of Thirst]; Injection after natural freezing, Injection after freezing with [Frozen Ray], Injection after freeze-drying...

Then, observe the condition of the rabbit.

"Sir, the rabbit is fine!"

"Sir, the rabbit on my side is also alive and well!"

"Sir, is the method we used wrong? Should we let the mad dog bite the rabbit directly?"

A large number of questions rushed to Grete in an instant.Gretel is unflappable:

"No hurry, the onset is not so fast."

"No hurry, there is an incubation period."

"Let a mad dog bite a rabbit? Are you kidding me? The rabbit has not yet gotten sick, it has already been bitten to death!"

and many more……

Gretel suddenly paused.

It took Pasteur five years to develop the rabies vaccine, which took a lot of time to iterate the virus.

However, this magical world, maybe it can be accelerated?
"Bring some infected rabbits!" he yelled.Soon, a row of rabbit cages moved in front of Gretel, and he recalled the related spell models:

"Plague technique!"

"Plague technique!"

"Plague technique!"

"...Sir, there seems to be something wrong with this rabbit!"

Gretel breathed a sigh of relief.

Among the necromancer magic, there is a special plague technique, which can infect healthy subjects with diseases or accelerate the onset of diseases.

Although it is a damage spell, it is just right for it to be used here.

"Wait for the rabbit to get sick and die, then use its extract to infect new rabbits, keep it naturally, and see if it will get sick!"

If it happens, it means that [Epidemiology] has indeed accelerated the onset of rabies, and no other diseases have been mixed into it.

Next, all sick rabbits can speed up like this!
Fortunately, after five or six days of raising, the sick rabbits of the second iteration all showed symptoms of rabies.After confirming this point, Gretel's vaccine research and development took on the wings of acceleration.

"Plague technique!"

"Plague technique!"

"This one won't work, let's have it dissected!"

"This one seems to be a little less ill..."

"Select the one that seems to be mildly ill, continue to inject, and continue to iterate!"

"That... sir, can we eat these rabbits?"

"..."

Although in theory it can still be eaten if it is cooked, but what if a student does not cook for enough time and is not cooked?What if the person who eats happens to have gingivitis?
Gretel decisively drove them all out:
"Burn them all! Infected experimental animals are not allowed to eat!"

　Escorted the old man to a tertiary hospital this morning to see a doctor... Online consultation, the doctor judged that it might be herpes zoster, and he wanted to delay it until Monday, can you believe it?
　　So I'm sorry that I only have [-] words in the morning... I'll try my best to catch up in the afternoon...
