Chapter 332 Countdown to the End

Vaccine research?What is a vaccine?
Ji Wutian was full of question marks.

Qi Susu patted the empty seat beside her, motioned for him to come over and sit down, and then explained: "You know about vaccinia vaccination, right?"

Ji Wutian nodded, "Of course."

Despite the fact that the level of medical skills in Da Yin is completely incomparable with modern times, the method of vaccinating against smallpox appeared more than 100 years ago. Therefore, smallpox is no longer an incurable disease in Da Yin, but there is no vaccination or it has not been planted well. Once a person has smallpox, he will still have pitted scars after treatment, but there is no fear of his life.

Qi Susu said: "Vaccinia vaccination, to put it bluntly, is a vaccine against smallpox. Since smallpox can be prevented, why can't other plagues?"

"You mean—" Ji Wutian was startled: "Can you develop a vaccine to prevent the plague?"

Qi Susu said: "It's hard to say, I just thought, Jinyang and Jinxing are still young, children's resistance is no better than adults, if we can prevent them from the possibility of contracting the disease from the root, wouldn't it be better for us as parents? Don't worry?"

Modern children will be vaccinated with various vaccines from birth, trying to prevent those viruses from harming the health of young children, but this condition was not available in ancient times.

Since there is no one, then she will create it herself!
"It's just that you don't think about your own children. It's like building dams and using cement to avoid floods. If there is a super-large disaster that even the dams can't stop, or is it a plague caused by drought? Cement is not a panacea. Vaccines against plagues are truly safe.”

Ji Wutianning frowned, "That said..."

Qi Susu hummed, and knew exactly what he wanted to say, "It's not easy to research a new vaccine, but if you don't try it, you will never succeed."

Relying on her to see a doctor alone, even if it takes her whole life, how many people can she save?
But once a targeted plague vaccine can be developed, it can benefit countless people.

This idea has been there since she went to Jiangnan, and when she came back, she saw Ji Wutian working tirelessly for the people of Jiangnan and all the people of Great Yin, and her idea became stronger and stronger.

After all, she is also the first-rank concubine of Great Yin, and the other half of Ji Wutian. He is working so hard for the common people, so she can't do nothing, or just give him an idea to be a shopkeeper. Feel so amazing.

Since she knows more than people in this era, she should make full use of that knowledge and do something to benefit everyone in this world.

Ji Wutian imagined what the Great Yin would be like once the success was achieved, and his heart would inevitably be greatly shaken, but he recalled how many generations of people died of smallpox before the advent of the method of cowpox, the new vaccine, really so Is it easy to research it?
After hearing his question, Qi Susu smiled and said, "I'm sure I won't be able to research it in a short time." It's not because of her lack of medical skills, but because of the hardware environment.

In the final analysis, vaccines are immune products based on various pathogenic microorganisms. It is very difficult to extract these pathogenic microorganisms separately, let alone make them into vaccines.

Even in modern times, the development of vaccines is a very long process. It takes countless people's hard work. It takes decades or even longer to achieve success. After a specific formula is made into a finished product, it may still take a lot of time to produce a batch. Nearly a year or several months of work.

Of course, those are more complicated. Qi Susu's initial research will definitely not be so ambitious. Since she started from a relatively simple one, she has no idea how long it will take.

Don’t even think about it for a year or so, Mao probably won’t be able to research one, three to five years is not too much, ten years, 20 years, no matter what, there should be some achievements in this life, right?

In the past few days, because she had just started, she had many thoughts in her heart, and she was a little excited, so she didn't let go for a while.

Calm down and think about it, this matter cannot be done overnight, and there is no rush at all. She is standing on the shoulders of giants, knows the specific formula, what to study, and which organisms can extract the required microorganisms , can avoid a lot of detours, the difficulty is greatly reduced, the rest is actually hard work, the most important thing is to be patient, able to withstand failure and loneliness.

After thinking about it, there was no need for Ji Wutian to persuade her to rest, Qi Susu calmed down by herself, and said: "I can't be like this in the future, I can't study day and night, I still have to grasp the rhythm and combine work and rest. .”

Maybe this will prolong the time it takes for the vaccine to be produced, but there is another issue that concerns her personally that cannot be ignored, and that is the growth of the child.

Don't you see that Ji Wutian missed Ji Xiaoyang's growth in the previous five years, and has always lamented that it was one of his lifelong regrets. Serving Xiao Jinxing before she was born was like serving Lafayette. Don't interact too much with Jinxing.

Although I went to Jiangnan at the full moon after I was born, I went there for nearly two months, and I was so busy after I came back, but I still spare some time every day to spend with Jinxing, and I must do what he said at the beginning, so as not to cause any harm. Pity.

Ji Wutian is like this, does she want to leave such a regret?It is important to benefit the world, but it is more important to take care of your own little family.

After such a conversation with Ji Wutian, Qi Susu's rhythm slowed down a lot.

Spend the usual amount of time every day to accompany Jinxing and Ji Xiaoyang, and set aside a little for Ji Wutian in the rest of the time, and basically spend the rest of the time immersed in prescriptions, and there is also a separate laboratory where there are many Ji Wutian helped to get the necessary medicinal materials or plants, as well as special containers.

At the beginning, people outside didn't know what she was busy with. From time to time, someone would invite her to drink tea, hold a tea party, flower viewing party, or seek medical treatment with generous gifts.

Qi Susu looked at Bai Qing, who had a good relationship. She had visited several times for the sake of the prefect's wife, and those who sought medical treatment were indeed treated by other doctors in the city who could not be cured. But later on, she reduced such entertainment or work to the extreme. , don't come to her unless it's something serious!busy!No time!

Not long after, people outside got wind that Princess Yu was studying something important to benefit the people, and gradually, unless it was really urgent, they would not bother her easily.

Qi Susu was finally able to completely calm down and concentrate on researching vaccines.

At the same time, Ji Wutian worked out the best cement ratio, announced and arranged the job recruitment, and the labor force assembled at the fastest speed. Starting from Anyang Mansion, the three feudal mansions, all officials All roads must be built into flat and hard concrete roads!

The speed of road construction does not need to be too fast. First, the main road leading to Fucheng will be repaired, and then spread out little by little.

Compared with speed, the most important thing is quality. Once the road is repaired at one time, the frequency of repairs in the future will be lower, which can reduce unnecessary human and financial consumption as much as possible.

The Ministry of Industry in Beijing adjusted the proportion of cement, and after the design drawings of the new dam came out, the officials in charge of repairing the dam were selected and sent to Jiangnan. They thought that next year, a brand new dam would be erected in Jiangnan. An accident can basically free the people in the south of the Yangtze River from the danger caused by floods.

The recruitment of workers to prepare cement raw materials in Anyang Mansion is in full swing. Except for the excited victims who have not yet returned to the south of the Yangtze River, they ran to the government to sign up, and some families with average family conditions in the prefecture city have more labor and will fight for a place.

Ji Wutian and the Yamen negotiated that the wages for the road repairers should not be low, which is [-]% more than the average wages for hard work, and two meals are included, because the number of people recruited is enough, and after the start of work, they can divide the labor and cooperate alternately You don't have to worry about exhausting your body just to make more money, and a road repair spot is very sought-after.

And the faster the personnel are in place, the faster the road construction process will be, and everything seems to be going very smoothly.

In comparison, Qi Susu's research is a headache.

It's not that the research has encountered a bottleneck. It's been less than two months since she decided to make the vaccine. It's still early to get a clue. The key is that a lot of calculations, extractions, failures, and usefulness are indispensable in the research process. There are too many things to do in animal experiments, Qi Susu can't handle it alone.

However, each step requires the assistance of people who understand pharmacology and have excellent medical skills, but no matter how many people there are in the palace, how many people know medicine?
Asi counts as one, and Zizhu doesn't even count as half of it. The rest can only be used as a coolie for her to carry things, and a little bit better to help with medicinal materials, too delicate work can't be done.

She urgently needs professional help.

Originally, Honglian was a good candidate, but not long after she and Lan Xingchen came home, good news came out that she was pregnant, which made Qi Susu find no one to help.

Doing good deeds can't delay people from having children, right?

I was too worried to discuss it with Ji Wutian, but Ji Wutian gave her an idea, or woke her up.

"The palace doesn't have any suitable candidates to recruit from the outside, and I will ask the emperor to borrow some people to send them over. Didn't the people in the imperial hospital ask you for advice in the past, are you also a teacher and a friend? You can study vaccines to prevent plagues, and you will have them in the future." It is an opportunity to go down in history, and many people would like to come here.”

Qi Susu suddenly understood.

yes!Why didn't she think of it!
She alone is not smart enough, so she can gather more people!

The imperial physicians of the imperial hospital, as well as famous doctors from all over the Great Yin, but whoever is willing, can find a way to call more to help, so that the efficiency will be greatly improved.

As for the issue that the credit will be divided, she doesn't think it is a problem at all.

Others may use her name for profit, but she doesn't have much thought about being included in the history books, and profit doesn't matter much. As long as Ji Wutian doesn't plan to rebel, her current rank is already at the peak, and she still wants to do this?Can she still be queen?
