Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1088

When the Academy of Sciences started, the Department of Medicine was inoculating smallpox vaccines. All students were vaccinated to prevent the smallpox virus from breaking out in the crowded university hall area. At that time, a large number of elite reserve talents of the empire would be lost.

In order to prove the effectiveness of the new vaccine, Chu Yun took the lead in injecting the vaccine himself, so as to dispel public concerns about the vaccine.In addition to vaccines, unknown things such as cameras scare the public.

As one of the leaders of the smallpox vaccine project, Xiao Xiu'er came to Chu Yun's residence with the vaccine in person, and she couldn't help but feel nervous.Not only was she afraid that she would be imprisoned because of Chu Yun's adverse reaction, but if something happened to Chu Yun's family, who had been kind to her, she would probably have a disturbed conscience for the rest of her life.

"Although the fatality rate is very low, it is still possible to die. I wonder if you really want to take this risk, Lord Commander?" Xiao Xiuer asked cautiously.

"Isn't it just the vaccination, you just follow the normal procedure." Chu Yun said without hesitation.

Xiao Xiuer took out a new metal tube syringe.At this time, the Kyushu Army had been planting rubber plantations in Hainan for several years, and the second batch of rubber trees could start to collect natural rubber, and there were a lot of natural rubber reserves.

Even so, many rubber-related plastic chemical technologies have not yet been developed, and there is no special plastic factory, so it is still impossible to produce cheap disposable plastic tube syringes.

Metal syringes can be sterilized by boiling, and needles can also be sharpened for reuse and sterilized, but there is still a risk of infection during injection.In order to be safe, Xiao Xiuer specially brought a metal syringe that has not been used.

Ling'er, who was being held by Ella, saw the slender metal needles for the first time, and seemed to be afraid of the metal needles, and tightened Ella's clothes uneasily.

Chu Yun didn't feel anything. Needle-hole injections are already very benevolent. Some ancient syringes and medical devices are more violent, such as enemas that achieve the same purpose as needle-hole syringes.

Xiao Xiu'er was a little nervous, beads of sweat involuntarily oozed from her forehead.

"Don't be nervous, otherwise accidents will happen easily." Chu Yun was not afraid of injections at first, but when he saw Xiao Xiu'er, who was a doctor, she was nervous and her hand trembling slightly while holding the metal syringe, Chu Yun couldn't help being afraid.

"Yes." After being reminded by Chu Yun, Xiao Xiu'er took a deep breath and calmed down.

Chu Yun found that he had overestimated the early syringes. The needles of the early syringes seemed to be thicker, and the pain was several times that of the original Chu Yun.

Just seeing such a pinhole can make many people quit.

In order to maintain his image, Chu Yun only frowned slightly, and did not snort.

After Chu Yun, Ella also participated in the vaccination.

Seeing that both Chu Yun and Ella were safe and sound after being injected with the smallpox vaccine, Xiao Xiu'er was relieved. If both parents are fine, then Ling'er probably will be fine.

But when it was Ling'er's turn, he didn't dare to face the metal pinhole. He was obviously frightened and burst into tears.

"Ling'er is good, you won't get sick after the injection." Ella comforted Ling'er.

"Sister, I have fudge here. If Ling'er finishes her injection, this fudge will be given to you." Xiao Xiu'er has been a doctor in the military lord's mansion for a long time, and has her own way of appeasing Ling'er.

However, this time Ling'er realized the pain of the injection, and was not tempted by the candy. She refused to reach out, and kept holding on to Ella's clothes, suffering non-stop.

Chu Yun said with a smile on his face: "Hurry up and get an injection, or you will be sent to a military academy in two years!"

He didn't know if Ling'er could understand what it meant to be sent to the military academy after being slapped like this by Chu Yun, but he obviously felt that his stern father was angry, and immediately choked back his tears.

"After Ling'er's injection, mother will take you out to play, okay?" Ella wiped away tears for him, then held one of his small fists, and winked at Xiao Xiu'er.

Xiao Xiu'er took advantage of the situation and lightly pressed Ling'er's arm, and then wiped the part to be injected with alcohol.

Ling'er had a farewell look on her face, and her eyes were full of tears when the pinhole pierced her skin.But Aila and Xiao Xiu'er held him down, and there was a stern-faced father beside him, he was doomed, and he didn't even dare to cry.

Chu Yun was indifferent. Prevention of smallpox is very important, especially in the current era, even with the smallpox vaccination method invented in China, there are very few people with smallpox antibodies, and the whole world is shrouded in smallpox, plague, malaria and other "plagues" of terror.

With the opening of the sea ban and frequent trade with the whole world, smallpox may break out at any time, or in fact, there are small-scale smallpox outbreaks in many provinces from time to time, but they are collectively referred to as "plague" by history books, or the scale is small. Just record.

As his son, Ling'er may be active in various provinces or even overseas in the future. The probability of contracting smallpox is really high. A little pain now can minimize the risk of contracting smallpox, why not do it.

"Okay." Xiao Xiu'er used alcohol cotton to help stop the bleeding after the needle was withdrawn.

"This metal syringe looks a little scary. I'm afraid that ordinary people will have such a reaction as Ling'er." Chu Yun said with some fear when he saw Xiao Xiu'er put away the metal syringe.

"There is also the risk of infection. The needles may still be cross-infected after high-temperature disinfection, and the inside of the needles is not safe. The best way is to use disposable needles and needles, but the cost is too high. But give Military Lord, you are using disposable metal syringes and needles." Xiao Xiuer said.

"There will be disposable plastic syringes in the future." Chu Yun has no countermeasures for this.

At this time, the cost of plastic production is still very high. Historically, plastic syringes did not appear and become popular until the 20th century, 100 years later than metal syringes and needles.

"My lord, the [-] vaccines you requested to be sold to Europe are being produced, and we expect to export [-] vaccines. At the same time, we have prepared [-] syringes and needles, and some of the vaccines sold to civilians are sterilized by high temperature." Needle injections sold to princes and nobles use disposable syringes and needles, but the one-time vaccine charges may be much more expensive than ordinary vaccines." Xiao Xiuer said.

This is the first time that the Kyushu Army has exported high-profit medicines overseas!The Kyushu Army is trying to establish its supreme authority in the pharmaceutical field through the smallpox vaccine, and monopolize this vast market with high profit margins!

"Even if the price of disposable syringes and needles is ten times that of ordinary vaccines, European princes and nobles will flock to them. Many princes and princesses in their countries died of smallpox at a very young age." Chu Yun said.
