Big Islander 2

Chapter 121 A New Hope for Diabetes

After all, Marquez is also the leader of a country, so he enjoys a luxurious ward in the hospital.When Tang Jide and his group opened the door, they saw Lao Ma sitting on the bed, holding bread in one hand and sausage in the other, with his cheeks puffed up.

"Is this the reincarnation of a starved ghost? Fortunately, he didn't eat grass." The pheasant couldn't help but start complaining.

Tang Jide actually thought so too, especially after seeing the pile of food packaging bags on the bedside cabinet, he took the pheasant's words even more seriously.

Seeing Tang Jide and the others, Lao Ma took another bite of the sausage, half of which was gone, and then nodded in greeting.It is estimated that he can't speak now, his mouth is full of food.

Seeing that he was choking and began to roll his eyes, Tang Jide quickly brought the water glass to the old horse's mouth, and while helping him drink, he said, "Nauru's economic crisis has been resolved, don't be like a refugee, okay—"

After finally swallowing the food in his mouth, Marquez grinned happily: "I haven't eaten so happily for many years. Only after I got diabetes, I know that I can eat happily and without any scruples." A meal is the greatest happiness!"

Tang Jide couldn't help scratching the back of his head: It seems that since I met you, I haven't seen you eat less at any meal——

After wiping out the bread and sausage in his hand, Marquez yawned, then his head drooped, snoring sounded, and he fell asleep sitting there.

Pigs—the same thought came to everyone in the ward.

"Well, this is indeed a disease, it needs to be cured!" The pheasant shook its gaudy head a few times, while Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami looked inquiringly at the doctor and nurse who came in with them.

The middle-aged doctor nodded to Tang Jide, and then opened the medical record in his hand: "This patient's condition is very special. There is still an unknown snake venom left on his body. He sometimes wakes up and sometimes falls asleep. When he is awake, he has a strong The most peculiar thing is that the patient has a history of diabetes, but after two days of our tests, it may have been misdiagnosed before, because the pancreas in the patient can secrete insulin normally, but it may be affected by the snake venom, which is more than normal. It should be slightly less, so I hope you can dissuade the patient, and it is not appropriate to overeat now. But please rest assured, the patient has escaped the danger of life, and can be discharged from the hospital after a period of recuperation."

Misdiagnosis?Tang Jide and Xiao Xiami looked at each other: Impossible, Lao Ma must have a belly needle every meal, he is not diabetic, who is?
It was Xiao Xiami who reacted relatively quickly, and immediately realized that the doctor might be right in one sentence, that is, this strange symptom must be affected by snake venom.And it may be just the opposite. Under the stimulation of the snake venom, the old horse's pancreas started to secrete a small amount of insulin again!
So Zhan Yan smiled: "Since this is the case, we can rest assured. In order to express the agreement, please accept our gift." While talking, he gestured to Da Xing.

"We don't accept gifts from patients—hey, crystal stars!" The doctor couldn't help his eyes twinkling when he saw the crystal star in the chimpanzee's hand. Isn't this what his little princess is talking about every day? ?

Daxing didn't care about the rules or not, he stuffed the crystal stars into their hands one by one, and shook hands friendly.The two little nurses didn't know the goods, so they put their heads together and studied in a low voice: "It can't be made of glass, can it?"

The other nurse also nodded straightly: "Well, what good things can the orangutan give—"

The doctor glared at them, then winked again, and led the two little nurses out of the ward, apparently looking for a place to enlighten them.You can't even buy such a precious thing if you have money, yet you still pick and choose. Your eyelids are too shallow, so you will stare at gold, silver and jewelry, right?

When no outsiders were present, Xiao Xiami put her small hand on Marquez's wrist, felt the situation inside him, then shook her arm lightly, and a green snake head protruded from her cuff, the snake The core vibrates back and forth chug-chug.

Even Tang Jide was taken aback, subconsciously dodging backwards.As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of well ropes for ten years, not to mention this little green snake is very poisonous.

"Hey, take another bite—" Little Xiami stretched out his finger and stroked Brigitte's snake head lightly, and then tapped the old horse's wrist.

"This is murder—quack, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything." The pheasant cleverly flew to the door to watch the wind, stuck out its head, and poked its head into the corridor.

As a result, the two little nurses were recruited. They probably also knew the preciousness of the crystal star of Peach Blossom Island, so they had a very good attitude, smiling like flowers on their faces: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

The pheasant flew out of the window in fright, leaving only a sound like a broken gong: "I didn't see it, I didn't see anything—"

This guy has the potential to be a traitor—— Tang Jide cursed inwardly, and then greeted him, holding a few banknotes in his hand: "Can I trouble the nurse to buy some food for my friend?"

A nurse took the money and ran away with her companion, seeming to be happy to help.But after running for a few steps, he turned around again: "The doctor ordered, don't eat too much when you buy it—"

After dismissing the nurse, Tang Jide turned back, only to see the green snake head nailed to Marquez's wrist again.The snake's head opened to an incredible angle, and it seemed that it was biting hard.

Tang Jide couldn't help scratching the back of his head: "Xiao Xia, which song is this?"

Two deep dimples appeared on Xiao Xiami's face: "Uncle Datou, there is hope for a new drug to treat diabetes!"

Pa——Tang Datou slapped his thigh vigorously: "Those little snakes haven't been released, have they?" If you want to develop medicine, the venom of one snake is definitely not enough, and you must multiply it in large numbers.

Seeing Xiao Xiami's confident appearance, Tang Jide was finally relieved.As in the past, he and Xiao Xiami only determined a research direction. As for the specific experiments and operations, Irwin would teach them.

After the two worked together to control the toxin in the old horse's body, Marquez woke up again.After getting up, this guy started to eat again, muttering while munching: "It seems that I need to find a psychiatrist. I was sleeping and dreaming just now, and I dreamed that I was bitten by a snake again. Don't leave anything behind." The psychological shadow is good."

After a day of observation in the hospital, sure enough, Lao Ma's diabetes was on the decline again.But after all, it's in someone else's territory, so it's not easy to do further research. We can only set up a special research team after returning to Peach Blossom Island.Or you can go directly to Nauru, anyway, there is no shortage of test subjects there.

The four-party talks, which had been delayed for several days, were finally reopened, and the final result was a happy one: the four parties equally shared the salvaged precious metals.In the words of the pheasant, it is the spoils conference.

At this time, the wealth and wealth of the big powers were revealed. The representatives of the polar bears directly invested in the purchase of this batch of strategic materials.

Because it was divided in half, Nauru's funds were not enough to repay the debt. In the end, Tang Jide tightened his belt and lent the share belonging to Taohua Island to Marquez.Anyway, the two sides cooperate to process manganese nodules, so there is no need to worry about being in vain.

Brother is also a rich man now, and he can give loans to others. Tang Jide was very proud of himself for a while, but when Ye Ji asked him to apply for a loan, he was rejected.The pheasant was so angry that he almost went on a hunger strike: Are the family members not as popular as outsiders?

"The main reason is that you don't have the ability to pay back." Tang Jide snorted twice. In fact, the main reason was that he had no money in his pocket.To say that in the recent period, Taohua Island has been building a lot, spending money like water, so the finances are always in a state of tension.

However, because of the venomous snake incident, by accident, he started research on new drugs for treating diabetes, which is another way to make money.

And the dozen or so little snakes that people hated before have turned into key protection targets and were escorted back to Peach Blossom Island on a special trip.After getting the news, Professor Irwin immediately led his team to Nauru and devoted himself to the research.However, there is still one biggest difficulty before Lao Ai, that is how to eliminate the harm of snake venom, after all, this thing is deadly.If it is not done well, the diabetes will be cured, but the person will die in the end, and it will lose money.

The first research subject was of course Marquez. His body had already developed certain antibodies against snake venom, so he directly injected the diluted snake venom.At first, the old horse was a little bit resistant, but after a few needles, he obviously felt his body was transforming to a better side, so he willingly cooperated with the treatment.

Surprisingly, in less than half a month, Lao Ma's diabetes was completely cured; after another period of observation, there was no recurrence.Such a result made Lao Ai also ecstatic, and devoted himself even more frantically to the research.Because worldwide, the best way to treat diabetes is to inject insulin. If this difficulty can be truly overcome, it will be another great achievement enough to win the Nobel Prize in Medicine.

While Professor Irwin's team was devoting themselves to research, Tang Jide was not idle and was working hard to solve the funding gap in Peach Blossom Island.Fortunately, many countries have thrown olive branches and requested to jointly salvage the sunken ships in their waters.

This is of course the most profitable business, so Tang Jide devoted himself very hard to this great work.Mr. Captain, who has been idle for a long time, finally got busy, leading an army of [-] octopuses on an expedition to South America.Tang Jide, Xiao Xiami and the others set their primary target on the Awa Maru.

Not only because of the gold and silver jewels in the shipwreck, but also the legendary BJ man's skull is very fascinating.If this kind of national treasure can be found again, it will make a big mark in the history of salvage in the world.

Of course, Tang Jide liked to slap those restless little devils loudly.To do good deeds, we must do more such good deeds.

　Hehe, I have an old problem, my shoulder hurts badly, so I was delayed for a few days, everyone forgive me.Starting today, we will resume updating two or three chapters every day.
