Invincible urban management

68. Cats don’t have to travel through time

Under the brilliant scorching sun, thousands of residents lined up in front of the pyramid in Port Hope, slowly moving forward, with no end in sight.

These citizens were notified a day ago that all the "god men" with great powers will reward the people of the whole city with "divine grace" today, wishing them to stay away from serious diseases.In addition, it is also a means of resisting "white-skinned devils"-according to the "gods", these "white-skinned devils" who come across the sea are the most cunning and like to spread cursed blankets and clothes everywhere. .Once someone is greedy for petty gains and takes their blankets and clothes, they will inevitably be cursed, infected with the plague, and die miserably with rot and pus all over their bodies...

In order to prevent the people who followed them from suffering such a catastrophe, the benevolent "man of God" sent blessings to keep the citizens of Hope Harbor away from this catastrophe.

Therefore, according to the instructions of the nobles and elders, in order to express their piety, respect and gratitude to the "man of God", before they came here to line up to receive the "God's Grace", they had carefully bathed and purified themselves with soap or soap , Some wealthy people also specially sprayed perfume and smoked spices.Even the humblest slaves were driven into the creek, and every ten people were given a piece of soap, and they were washed for a long time (in fact, for disinfection).

And in the temporary tent set up at the front of the team, five passers-by who acted as emergency doctors and dozens of aboriginal nurses who were temporarily trained, wearing cotton white coats with red crosses on them, grabbed the arms of the citizens one by one and gave them injections. she vaccine.

Here, the tool used for vaccination is not a conventional glass syringe, but a pistol-shaped needle-free injector.

——It should be noted that all the traversers are not medical professionals, and have not received decent nursing training, let alone the aboriginal nurses brought out by them.Let’s not talk about finding the exact injection site, whether it will make the vaccinator jump in pain, or even puncture nerves and arteries and other places that cannot be punctured indiscriminately. Broken in the skin, causing endless trouble.

So, to be on the safe side, Professor Yang got a pistol-shaped needle-free injector from the strategic material reserve—this is a Chinese counterfeit product that imitates the new US military individual field rescue equipment.It includes a convenient replaceable syringe at its front end, which is convenient for adjusting the dose of injection.There is also a disposable nozzle that can be installed on the bracket and extends outward from the front end of the syringe, which can be removed and discarded after use.In this way, by replacing the syringe and nozzle, the injection gun can be used repeatedly, instead of being scrapped after only one use.

There are a total of three types of vaccines for the travelers to vaccinate in Port Hope: smallpox vaccine, BCG vaccine against tuberculosis, and yellow fever vaccine suitable for tropical areas.If it is a newborn infant, add diphtheria preparations for the prevention and treatment of pertussis.

The above-mentioned vaccines are the most widely used varieties in the modern world, and they cannot be more mature technically. They have been tested by at least one billion people in another time and space, and they should be considered safe in terms of safety.

By the way, the remaining dozens of Aztec missions after the plague, after witnessing the superpowers of the "Gods", this time also came to join in the fun and get vaccinated, and at the same time officially held the audience ceremony , presenting Montezuma II's gifts—a golden disc shaped like a sun with a diameter of more than half a meter, a silver disc shaped like a moon with an even bigger body and dazzling luster, and a gorgeous helmet studded with small gold particles. Exquisite and lifelike hollow gold chickens, golden statues of dogs, monkeys, deer and jaguars, exquisitely crafted necklaces in gold, silver and precious stones, as well as cups and plates, bows and arrows made of gold and silver. Scepter and so on.

——Because it has long been known that the "gods" in Port Hope like gold and silver, so the gifts of the Aztec Empire are all mainly gold and silver products.

There are so many colorful and shining real gold and silver, which almost dazzled the travelers who were just ordinary citizens for a while, but for some reason, they felt a little familiar... Later, Wang Qiu took the time to turn over again. Looking through the "History of the Conquest of Mexico" written by the Spaniards, I suddenly discovered that the above-mentioned gold and silver products are clearly the gifts that Montezuma II "should" give to Cortes in history!

However, these gold and silver products are now being sent to the hands of his group... Then what did Montezuma of this time and space give Cortez?Could it be that no gold or silver was given, or were two gifts prepared exactly the same?

However, this kind of innocuous doubt was just a trivial matter, which was quickly forgotten by the busy Wang Qiu.

In addition, as for how to more effectively prevent and treat the Black Death suspected to be brought by the European expedition, since the last time he fell ill with a cool breeze on the shore of Lake Texcoco and fell ill with a high fever, Captain Cai Rong, who has been lacking in presence, Hui also put forward a very constructive and inspiring work proposal.

"...As we all know, the Black Death is mainly spread by rats, and the original source of the outbreak of the Black Death in Central America is likely to be the European rats that escaped from the Spanish expedition ship! In order to deal with the rats, we must Keep a cat!"

Head Cai Rong straightened her flat chest with no bulge, and announced loudly with a terrified expression, "...but the Indians don't have cats, so let us help here a batch of cute and cute cats ! For example, tiger cats, Xibei cats, blue cats, hell cats, etc..."

...Hey, is there something strange mixed in?Commander, you can't act maliciously like this regardless of the occasion!

Wang Qiu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, complaining silently in his heart.

Although cats are cute in appearance and traditionally good at catching mice, they should be very popular with Indian women if they are introduced on a large scale.But after some discussion, all the traversers rejected the whimsical "cat aid plan" of the head of the group.

——Modern domestic cats originated in Africa and were first tamed by the ancient Egyptians. Therefore, before Columbus crossed the Atlantic, cats that were not good at swimming only existed in the Old World.Thus, in Mesoamerica in the early sixteenth century, there were indeed only mice and no cats.But mice are not without natural enemies in the Americas, because there are many owls here, and each owl can eat an average of 16 mice a year, and the ability to catch mice is not much worse than that of cats.

What's more, those pet cats in the modern world who have been pampered since childhood and fed up with milk, canned cat food, and vitamin supplements have already greatly degraded their ability to catch mice.Even stray cats who are self-reliant in the city are probably better at rummaging through trash than they are at catching mice...

What's more, just like the reason why the traversers did not dare to introduce large livestock such as pigs, cows, and sheep to Port Hope before, even the "clean" cats in the pet store may carry a lot of bacteria from the modern world , Viruses and Parasites.If they were brought among the Indians in this time and space, these cats would have already started to create plagues before they started catching mice—I don’t see those pet owners in the modern world, and people are often killed by cats in their homes Does the dog suffer from some strange parasitic diseases due to scratch infection?

In short, cats don’t have to travel through time, they’d better stay in the modern age and sell their cuteness to cheat cat food!

With the gradual completion of various preparations, the day when the expeditionary force departs is gradually approaching.

In late July 1519, the future crown prince of the Hongxiutizgan Kingdom, the honorable "Archangel" Wen Desi, led an army of 7 Hongxiutizgans in the Aztec Empire envoy Cuochtmok. Under the guidance of the leader, he departed from Port Hope and embarked on his second journey to the Valley of Mexico.

——Different from the first peaceful visit last year, this time the Hongxiutizgan Kingdom Expeditionary Force is likely to really go to war!

Of course, only a few people can know this secret for the time being.

On the surface, Wen Desi still only went to have peace talks with the Aztecs this time.
