Siheyuan: Stab at Louzi at the beginning

Chapter 625 What doesn’t kill you will make you stronger

"Dead cleanly?"

"All the chickens in the chicken farm in Langfang died. At first, only a few died, and then within three days, all of them were gone."

"It's really interesting to talk about it. It's because you can't buy eggs at the supply and marketing cooperative but you can buy dead chickens, and then the word spread like this."

Otherwise, why is it said that "the people can be made to follow it, but they cannot be made to understand it"?

Things are happening within a small scope, everyone abides by the rules and just does their own part.

Once word spreads, the more people there are, the more likely they are to panic, and the more serious the situation will become.

"Since you knew it, you didn't tell me in advance. You don't know how worried I am about you today."

Li Tianjiao just complained and didn't ask too many questions.

She is very good at tacit understanding.

"I was writing a work report with my boss before. The matter was not as serious as I thought. After the arrangements were made, I didn't take it to heart. I won't talk about the outside world. I am glad that I can take care of myself."

Wen Li and Ran Qiuye sat in the back and listened.

Ran Qiuye was very quiet. Wen Li always felt uncomfortable sitting in the back row. She wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.

In this way, we arrived at the general office of the Sijiucheng Chicken Farm.

Luo Yongxin was actually puzzled. Xu Damao, a big leader, just made a phone call about such a serious matter and never believed in it again.

Although he trusted her, he was still a little panicked.

When he heard the guard announce that Director Xu was coming, he immediately went out to greet him.

"Director Xu, Section Chief Li, you are finally here. Come in quickly. The office has been cleaned for you."

Xu Damao is called Xu Damao, and Section Chief Li is called Li Tianjiao. This is based on Li Tianjiao's previous position as the Section Chief of the Propaganda Section of the steel rolling mill. His identity is there and it certainly cannot be ignored.

As for Ran Qiuye and Wen Li, they were naturally skipped.

After entering the office and pouring a cup of tea, Li Tianjiao, who was originally in a hurry, was no longer in a hurry.

After a few casual words, they started talking about serious matters.

"What is the current situation of these chicken farms in Sijiu City?"

"At present, everything is under control. All chicken farms have been opened and roads are paved with quicklime. The two farms that were first affected have applied for a batch of antibiotics for treatment, and the effect is very good. The egg production is still decreasing because the chickens are now released, making it more troublesome to collect eggs every day."

"There is only one guard, one communicator, and me in the general office now. The rest have gone to provide support."

Xu Damao realized what Luo Yongxin meant: "After such a long time, no one has recovered?"

"Yes, to be more precise, not only have they not recovered, but all of them are sick. For now, we can only say that they are temporarily stable."

This situation is actually easy to understand.

Even if a human is infected with a new disease, it is difficult to find a specific medicine, let alone a chicken, which can only endure it.

Antibiotics are on their last legs.

Xu Damao picked up the documents on the table and began to look through them. They recorded the approximate daily egg production, which was indeed declining.

These old hens are still laying eggs even though they are sick. It is really hard for them. "If this continues, how many days can the egg supply in Sijiu City last?"

When asked this, Luo Yongxin was no longer sleepy. "Because our production is relatively high, even if this period is the last time the breeding plant is updated, it has not affected the supply of eggs. The current production has been reduced by 60%, but there is still a part of the previous stock. I have stopped part of the unplanned part. Of course, the steel rolling mill will still be given priority. According to this production reduction rate, there will be no problem in supplying normally for 15 days."

Compared with the outside world, this result is already a good one.

Xu Damao did not insist on anything. In ten days or so, with the demonstration in Xiping area, all he had to do was wait for the antibodies to appear automatically.

It is said that a fever or cold will heal itself in seven days because the body already has antibodies.

The most primitive antibodies appear in the body when you are sick but not dead and have survived.

This is called immunity.

The same applies to chickens. The only difference is that so many of them gathered together can easily aggravate the infection and cause large-scale deaths.

If we disperse, herd immunity is indeed a feasible solution.

There are successful examples before, the only question is how long the process will take.

As of now, there are still fifteen days left, and adding the days that have passed, it should be about the same.

"Okay, you did a good job. Remember to report everything you have done. Now let's go and take a look at the site."

Originally, Xu Damao just wanted to come here to understand the situation. If there was no big problem, it would not delay him from going to the next stop. However, because of Li Tianjiao's sudden intervention, he could not go anywhere today. He could only stay at the chicken farm. He hadn't worked so hard for a long time.

Luo Yongxin looked a little embarrassed because he felt that Xu Damao was pointing fingers at him. Xu Damao was his immediate superior and leader, but he had not reported to Xu Damao in the past few days.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to report, but he simply can’t be contacted. If Xu Damao comes to the office to work, he will definitely be able to see the latest progress every day.

Of course he also reported the matter online, but he reported it to Director Fan.

Suppressing the embarrassment in his heart, he stood up and began to lead the way: "Okay, I'll lead the way for you."

The general office of the Sijiucheng Chicken Farm has a public car, but Xu Damao has never used it.

He still uses the car provided by the Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

"You're not well yet, and the remaining eggs can only supply you for 15 days. Why aren't you in a hurry?"

After leaving the house, Li Tianjiao asked the question in his mind, which was also the question that Ran Qiuye and Wen Li had.

"You haven't read a biology book. Let me give you a simple example. Why do you think humans still dominate this land despite the outbreak of various plagues around the world?"

"Yes, why?"

"Think about it, because what doesn't kill us will make us stronger. Even if the mortality rate is high, there will always be some that can survive. The same is true for chickens. Besides, there is no mortality rate. As long as they don't gather in large groups, they will recover sooner or later. The laws of nature won't allow them to stay sick like this. I can say this: within fifteen days, if there are no accidents, these chickens will definitely recover completely."

"By then you'll have an extra antibody in your body, so you won't be so easily sick next time."

"I heard you say it sounds like these chickens can evolve."

"You're half right. Everything in the world has been evolving, including us humans. Some things are changing for the better, while others are changing for the worse. At least for now, there is no way to control this process."

Xu Damao didn’t know whether what he said was right or not, but this was already the perception of most people.
