Stock up in space to survive and save civilization in the end of the world

The Tang family gathered in the same courtyard, and the slave in the corner of the courtyard was breathing his last breath.

Lin Qian did not let Dou Wei and his family members enter the yard. She took Xu Langzhong to check it out, and the two finally determined that it was an epidemic.

Tang's father and Dou's mother were a little better. Although their fever persisted and they couldn't open their eyes, they were at least still conscious and could still move their hands.

The target of the mission, Tang Shiming, is a seriously ill patient. He has entered a coma, with a white face, cold limbs, and a weak pulse. He may have been the first to contract the disease and was isolated in a room alone.

Lin Qian found a reason to send Doctor Xu away, and quickly applied acupuncture to stabilize Tang Shiming's condition.

After going to the next few rooms to see the remaining Tang family members, she made a conclusion in her mind: it was the plague, which also had a frightening name - the Black Death.

After leaving the courtyard, Dou Wei, wearing a mask, immediately came over to ask about the situation.

Doctor Xu shook his head and said that this epidemic had never been seen in medical books.

Lin Qian was also wondering, how could the plague appear? The largest plague in Chinese history occurred in the Chongzhen year of the Ming Dynasty, which indirectly led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Dou Wei found the only sober courier at the post station. According to what he said, the epidemic was originally brought by merchants from Lingnan. The governor of Jiaozhou had reported the disease to the imperial court a long time ago, but there has been no response from the imperial court.

Every second is needed to rescue people, but other things must also be arranged.

This time, she only brought half a cart of medicinal materials, which Lin Qian prepared for life in Lingnan.

The good news is that there are a few herbs of various kinds, but the bad news is that there aren’t many herbs that are right for you.

Lin Qian and Dou Wei discussed letting him go back first and send a message to the Marquis of Xiangyang, asking the court to send people to provide disaster relief quickly.

Then he asked Duan Jin to take several generals to buy medicinal materials and deliver them.

Dou Wei didn't say much, turned around and mounted his horse.

After they left, Lin Qian divided the remaining slaves into two teams.

Team 1 wore double masks and followed her and Dr. Xu on ward rounds. Those who were mildly ill were concentrated in several rooms, and those who were seriously ill were concentrated in another room.

If conditions permit, isolation in a single room is the most ideal situation, but there are too few manpower and the condition changes rapidly, making it impossible to go from room to room.

Team 2 wears single-layer masks and is responsible for fetching water, chopping firewood, and boiling medicine in the open space at the entrance of the hospital.

After reading it all, I found that there were hundreds of people in the Tang family when they were exiled. Currently, there are only 25 people left alive, 10 with mild illness and 15 with severe illness.

Dr. Xu was still reviewing the medical books while revising the prescriptions, but Lin Qian started writing directly, and future generations would have a summary.

Bubonic plague: chills, high fever, swollen lymph nodes, flushed face and ears, polydipsia and desire to drink...

Treatment method: relieve exterior heat, detoxify and reduce swelling.

Prescription: 10 grams of skullcap, 10 grams of coptis, 30 grams of isatis root, 18 grams of forsythia...

Pneumonic plague: high fever, polydipsia, cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, hemoptysis or phlegm with blood...

Treatment: clear away heat and detoxify, resolve phlegm and dissipate stagnation, cool blood and stop bleeding.

Prescription: 60 grams of raw gypsum (fried first), 15 grams of rhubarb, 10 grams of anemarrhena, 15 grams of buffalo horn (fried first)...

Septicemic plague: high fever, coma, purple-black rash, epistaxis, vomiting blood...

Treatment method: clear the body and detoxify, cool the blood and stop bleeding.

Prescription: 60 grams of raw gypsum (fried first), 15 grams of buffalo horn (fried first), 30 grams of raw rehmannia...

All three symptoms appeared, but there were only two medicine cans in the entire inn, so we had to focus on the seriously ill patients first.

Doctor Xu looked at Fang Zi and said nothing.

Lin Qian went to get the medicine in person. She asked Danxin to guard half of the medicine. Unless she came to get it in person, no one, including Dr. Xu, could touch it.

Once people know how many medicinal materials there are, she won't be able to sneak out of the space.

After the first bowl of medicine was ready, Lin Qian fed Tang Shiming to drink it in a semi-violent way, and then took people out to burn the body.

There are hundreds of corpses piled up in the woods. Based on the degree of decomposition, it can be roughly inferred that the slaves died first. Because they were weak, they had to take care of their masters along the way.

Then there are children with low immunity and women with poor physical fitness.

Most of the people who have stayed in the yard until now are adults who have practiced martial arts or are in good physical condition.

Plague bacteria can survive on corpses for several months without burning.

Lin Qian thought of the characteristics of the plague, which include strong contagion, serious illness, and high mortality. The ways for people to become infected with the plague are either by being bitten by fleas on infected rats in the wild, or by directly eating dead rats or other infected small animals.

She looked to the south. Could it be that there was a severe drought in Lingnan this year and the people had less food?

Only in times of great famine, when people don't have enough to eat, will they dig out rat holes and kill rats to eat their meat.

Moreover, it is okay for healthy people to occasionally eat one or two sick mice, but during a famine due to malnutrition and poor immune system function, eating infected mice is no different from eating the virus directly.

Historical records record that when the plague occurred in the late Ming Dynasty: "He died within three days. Relatives and friends did not dare to hang him. If hanged, he would be infected, and some even died."

"The children in the neighborhood are so obsessed with it that they have no coffin."

Avoiding the slaves, Lin Qian entered the space and found that the antibiotics could not be brought out.

I originally wanted to secretly give Tang Shiming the special plague drug streptomycin, which would be safer, but this thing was beyond this era.
