v2 Chapter 83
A trivial matter that had already been resolved, but being so troubled by the twins, made Cao Mi somewhat unable to come down to the stage.
Modern theories about bacteria and viruses are too advanced for this era, so Cao Mi is willing to compromise directly when Hu Shenyi questioned.
But this does not mean the same, she is willing to admit it in front of her three children.
At this moment, Qi An and Qi Ran stood up, their eyes were full of trust in her, and she couldn’t perfunctory to say “mother was just lying to you just now”.
So Cao Mi could only step forward, take the two children who were standing in front of her into her arms, raised her head and said to Hu Shenyi: “Doctor Hu, I’m sorry.
“What I just said is actually not rigorous. But about the lord’s fever, it is caused by a ‘small bug’ smaller than roundworms. Don’t you think there is actually a trace?”
Originally, what the twins said, Hu Shenyi didn’t care.
He doesn’t care about two children who are not yet five years old.
But Cao Mi added this sentence, and he was in the mood to argue.
Hu Shenyi said: “The old man heard what the princess said, but he has a little understanding of medicine. The princess should know that small things like roundworms usually attach to unclean food.”
He pointed to his mouth and made a mouth-opening action to eat: “People must eat this kind of unclean food to get sick. This is a typical example of ‘disease comes from the mouth’.
“If according to what the princess said, the prince’s fever is caused by ‘small bugs’ that are so small that you can’t see them at all, then may I ask, where are these little bugs attached? And how do they invade the patient’s body?”
After he finished speaking, he paused and made a funny guess: “Do you mean to say that these ‘little bugs’ are attached to the swords and soldiers of the world like a scorpion?”
Jairui, rumored to be one of the nine sons of the dragon, is often engraved on the sword because he likes to kill.
Hu Shenyi’s speculation is actually insinuating that what Cao Mi said is the category of ghosts and gods.
The logic of his questioning was very clear, and the three children turned their heads to look at Cao Mi when they heard the words.
Qi An, who was the first to speak for her, clenched her fists tightly.
He frowned, not because he had shaken his position, but was desperately trying to help Cao Mi think of reasons that could refute Hu Shenyi.
Cao Mi touched Qi An’s face, raised his head and replied to Hu Shenyi: “Of course not attached to the sword.”
“Oh?” Divine Doctor Hu stroked his beard proudly, “But the prince’s wound was touched by the blade that hurt him.
“Could it be that you want to say, Princess, that there is a problem with the medicine applied to the wound.”
Cao Mi tilted his head helplessly.
She paused for a while, and then said surprisingly: “No. In fact, I think that not only the blade, but the whole world is full of all kinds of ‘little bugs’ that can cause people to get sick.”
She reached out and waved in the air, and continued: “They are everywhere, hovering around us all the time.”
The power of these words was too great, not only Hu Shenyi, but even the three children stared at him in disbelief.
Suddenly knowing that the seemingly empty air is full of dense “little bugs” that can threaten their lives at any time, most people will be a little scared when they are inconceivable.
Cao Mi smiled, patted the twins on the back soothingly, and said, “But you don’t need to worry too much.
“Our body is like an incomparably strong city, and those ‘little bugs’ are enemy troops that are constantly attacking.
“In normal times, the outer walls of the city are towering and guarded by various guards, and the ‘enemy’ has no chance at all.
“They can only passively stay around, waiting for someone to be injured or weak, and then find a gap to enter. The gap is too small. There is no need to go to the doctor at all, the ‘guards’ in the city wall can mend the gaps by themselves, and then kill the ‘little bugs’ who took the opportunity to sneak into the city.
“But when the gap is too large, our body can’t heal itself quickly, and various diseases will appear.”
Her use of this metaphor is really interesting. Qi Rui and Qi An, who were already very interested in fighting, didn’t even blink when they heard it.
On the other hand, Qi Ran, who was more timid, was stunned for a moment, and a little scared.
Without waiting for Hu Shenyi to question again, Qi Rui asked: “Then… what does this have to do with my father’s fever?
“Could it be…because the ‘enemy’ has entered the city through the gap, in order to kill them, did the guards simply set a fire in the city, preparing to burn these little bugs to death?”
Cao Mi was satisfied with his guess and nodded affirmatively.
Of course, the work of the immune system is actually quite complicated, but according to Cao Mi’s analogy, fever… seems to be the case.
“But…the fire was set…all the things in the entire city…didn’t they all suffer together?” Qi Rui frowned incomprehensibly, “How could someone set fire to drive the enemy out of the city? **This kind of thing?”
“Because if it comes to the step of ‘setting fire’, it is actually time for the body to be unable to accurately kill the ‘bugs’.” Cao Mi added: “The ‘bugs’ are very afraid of high temperature, so the body can only use this kind of ‘win-lose’. way to do a comprehensive self-cleaning.
“When it finds that the ‘enemy army’ has been completely eliminated, it will return to normal temperature, and at the same time start various ‘post-war reconstruction’ work.”
Hearing this, Qi Rui was stunned for a while, and then nodded.
Next to him, Hu Shenyi, who was almost stunned, finally came back to his senses.
His face was quite complicated, his lips moved for a while, and he spit out two words: “Absurd!”
Seeing Cao Mi and the three children looking at him, Hu Shenyi cleared his throat and said again, “Princess Concubine can speak well, but just now this is the ‘city’ and the ‘enemy’, and I almost confuse the old man. It’s gone. But…”
He made the most deadly point: “This can’t be seen or touched, how can you prove that there are terrifying bugs all around?”
Cao Mi was already prepared, and when he heard the words, he asked back: “Don’t you realize that although few people realize that there are ‘little bugs’ around them. But in fact, there are many means of ‘preventing little bugs’ in life? “
Now that everything has been said, Cao Mi doesn’t plan to settle it hastily.
In the process of science popularization, she suddenly realized that although she could not improve the current medical level in a short period of time, she could completely use the theory of bacteria to transform some modern concepts of anti-virus and sterilization and sterilization. Means to promote in this era!
And if even Qi You can be persuaded to respect the excellent doctor Hu, then this theory will not be too much hindrance to implement it.
Just imagine, if Qi You and the people around him had some understanding of this theory, then after Qi You was injured, they knew that they should disinfect with alcohol in time. bandage.
If this had been done earlier, there might not have been the aggravation of the latter series of injuries.
Thinking of this, Cao Mi felt that it was really necessary for everyone to understand this.
She continued: “The flesh around the wound is prone to rotting and pus if not properly treated.
“The food we often see spoiled and rotten is actually the same reason. These are caused by the invasion of invisible ‘small bugs’ around.
“So, even if you don’t know why the food rots, people with experience know that you should pack the food that can’t be eaten in time, put it in a sealed clay pot or food box, or reheat the food repeatedly, This slows down the rate of deterioration.
“Packing food is actually isolating the possibility of food contacting with ‘little bugs’.
“And repeated heating, is it a bit like a fever in the body?
“These practices are actually protecting food by fighting invisible ‘bugs’.”
Divine Doctor Hu frowned, and his snow-white beard trembled.
He thought for a while, and then said: “Oh, but even if the food is packed in a clay pot, according to what you said, princess, and the ‘little bugs’ are isolated, things will still deteriorate.
“What’s going on here?”
“Because with the current methods, it is impossible to achieve complete isolation.” Cao Mi explained: “Those things are really too small, they are pervasive, ordinary isolation is actually just preventing most of the ‘small bugs’ from entering.
“And the ‘little bugs’ that have entered can feed on flesh and blood and multiply.
“Single bugs are too small for us to see, but when they multiply to a certain extent, they form common mildew spots. The mildew spots will gradually expand, in fact, the number of ‘bugs’ is slowly increasing.”
Hu Shenyi’s logic is also very clear: “Huh. After all, this is actually your guess, Princess, and it can’t be proved at all, right?
“Your explanation of the ‘little bug’ can indeed justify itself to a certain extent, but you can’t prove it yourself at all. In fact, it may be another matter.”
Cao Mi pursed his lips, nodded and said, “Yes, it’s really troublesome to prove it, but it’s not impossible.”
To prove the existence of bacteria, Cao Mi can think of two ways.
One is the famous experiment mentioned in middle school biology textbook – “gooseneck experiment”.
In this experiment, the most difficult point is to solve the “sealing” problem.
Now if Cao Mi wants to do the same thing, the biggest problem he faces is actually this.
Another method is more intuitive, which is to directly create a microscope.
With a microscope, you can directly observe the appearance of bacteria.
But just now when he thought of this, Cao Mi realized that she hadn’t created the “glass” necessary for transmigrators!
Probably because she didn’t really need it, and she didn’t have any intuitive understanding of glass, so she ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.
How important is glass!
If there is glass now, then microscopes, magnifiers, telescopes, etc., can be easily produced. You must know that Leeuwenhoek, who was the first to observe bacteria, was not rich, and the lenses he used were ground purely by himself. Cao Mi believed that as long as he could get the glass out, the skilled craftsmen in the palace would soon be able to grind out qualified concave and convex mirrors.
After figuring this out, Cao Mi kept the glass thing in mind. After preparing, he asked some high-tech personnel from the cement workshop to set up a project team to study it.
The author has something to say: Note: The “gooseneck flask experiment” was done by French scientist Pasteur.
