*******************
The residents of Green Rock City began to go up the mountain to quarry stones, and then used the collected gems to make various precious ornaments and sell them all over the country.
But not long after, people in Green Rock City began to get sick one after another, and those buyers who bought and wore the jewelry they produced also started to get sick one after another.
At that time, many medical experts in Tulun were summoned by the king to study what was going on and what diseases these people had.
Later, bold doctors dissected the corpses of some patients and found that there were many strange tumors growing in various parts of these people's bodies.
Once a normal person has this kind of tumor, the body will quickly lose weight, then collapse, and finally die.
The doctors at that time named this disease carbuncle rock disease, and no effective treatment has been found.
At that time, there were many messages in the society, saying that the gemstones mined in Green Rock City were ominous things, they were the eyes of the mountain god, and the people in Green Rock City dug out the eyes of the mountain god, so the mountain god condemned them and punished them. gem people.
After the king at that time learned that this disease was an incurable disease, he ordered that the mining of this gem was strictly prohibited, and it was also strictly prohibited for humans to wear jewelry made of this gem.
Later, fewer people got this disease, but some people still get it every year.
In charge of various literature, history and medical treatment records of the Toulon Empire, the University Scholars Hall has recorded this disease, hoping that future generations will be able to decipher this disease.
But this disease has always been terminally ill, and very few people who get sick can be cured.
After listening to Sam's explanation up to this point, Xiao Feng made a rough guess. The green gemstone at the foot of Mount Kamala must be a mineral containing some kind of radiation. It's a pity that people of this era don't understand the horror of this radiation material. He also treats this thing as a treasure, makes it into an accessory, and wears it on his body, so it's no wonder that he will suffer from various strange diseases.
Think about the radium on the earth. After it was first discovered, isn’t it also regarded as a treasure by many people? Americans even use this thing to make watch dials for people to wear, and the female workers who make watches secretly make this thing into jewelry and hang it around their necks. What happened?
few years,
There were many terrifying large tumors growing on the chin, and finally died unexpectedly. This situation continued until many people died one after another before anyone suspected this element. In the end, those sick female workers insisted on suing the watch manufacturer. Some of them went bankrupt, but so what, even if they got compensation, they didn't have much chance to enjoy it.
"...Until more than a hundred years ago, a hunter suffering from carbuncle disease went missing after hunting in the mountains, and a few years later, he even came back again, which attracted the attention of scholars in the Grand Scholars Hall. Scholars, call him, check his body, confirm that he has recovered, and then ask him about the past few years, before he revealed the secret of his resurrection..."
The more Sam talked, the more he talked, and Xiao Feng listened more and more seriously. After all, this could be related to his big fortune in the future.
"It turned out that after the hunter got carbuncle disease, his body became weak and painful, and his family's wealth was quickly exhausted. He couldn't bear to drag his family down, so he secretly went into the mountain to wait for his death. Unexpectedly, he was about to die. At that time, he was bitten by a poisonous snake, and the venom of the poisonous snake saved his life. After being bitten by the poisonous snake, he did not feel any pain. The next day, his body recovered a little, and then the next period During the time, he was hunting in the mountains to support himself, while catching that kind of poisonous snake, and let the poisonous snake give him a bite from time to time, using the venom to kill... the tumor on his body, and finally he healed like this... .”
In fact, Xiao Feng had already guessed the result, Sam took a breath and continued.
"Later, the Bachelor's Hall specially organized manpower and material resources to catch that kind of poisonous snake, and at the same time, bought the poisonous snake's venom from the half-orcs, and then found various patients with carbuncle disease to treat them. As a result I found that the effect is really good, and different types of poisonous snake venoms have different effects on different types of carbuncle... Well, tumors also have various effects, but at last, this tumor is no longer terminally ill like before, so these poisonous snakes The venom is extremely precious."
Xiao Feng understood that the venom of different types of poisonous snakes in this world can specifically target different types of tumors and kill those tumor cells. This is really amazing.
"The venom of this poisonous snake, if we humans catch those poisonous snakes, it will be very difficult and very dangerous. But if it is done by python people, it is very simple. Those poisonous snakes have a natural sense of fear of pythons, so The boa constrictors themselves also raise all kinds of poisonous snakes, and then squeeze the venom from their mouths. After the army entered the city yesterday, I accidentally found the venom in this warehouse. Watching here."
Sam finally finished explaining the ins and outs of the matter to Xiao Feng, and Xiao Feng nodded frequently after hearing that.
Although he can't say he is proficient in modern medicine, he still has a rough understanding of it. To put it bluntly, a tumor is a kind of malignant cell. Before it becomes malignant, it exists in the human body in the form of a normal cell.
Once transformed into a malignant cell, it will replicate and reproduce without limit, and rob the human body of the nutrients needed by the normal human cells, but the normal human cells cannot rob it, and finally this thing will grow bigger and bigger, while the normal human cells Human cells are constantly starved to death, the human body becomes weaker and weaker, and the nutrition is seriously malnourished, which will cause various diseases.
And Sam's general meaning is that the venom of this poisonous snake can destroy the infinite replication and reproduction of malignant tumor cells. Isn't this what countless scientists in his world have been working hard on?
What targeted drugs, all kinds of gene drugs, the ultimate goal is not to kill those cancer cells?
And if you go back and organize a laboratory yourself, and extract the special effect part of the snake venom that is effective against tumor cells for research and development, what kind of sensation will it cause?
A big market of tens of trillions of dollars every year!
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng couldn't help being excited!
"Very good, very good, Sam, I will give you a task now, that is to take good care of these snake venoms, and then classify them into categories, and classify which snake venom is effective for that tumor, under what circumstances, at what dose, and under what circumstances. , You study it for me, and the storage, transportation, and other methods of these snake venoms, you study it for me, and then form a written report for me."
Although the prospect of this industry is broad, Xiao Feng also knows not to be impatient. He Xiaojun reminded him of the Yurongye incident before, it is not so easy to be an industry disruptor!
Think about it, those big pharmaceutical companies on this earth will invest hundreds of billions, or even trillions of dollars, to develop various anti-cancer drugs. Although those drugs cannot eradicate cancer, they can indeed effectively prolong the lives of cancer patients.
And those medicines are not generally expensive, tens of thousands of dollars a bottle, that is commonplace.
If he took the snake venom back, studied it for three to five years, and then announced that he had conquered cancer, what would be the result?
Maybe the people all over the world will thank him, but the pharmaceutical companies all over the world definitely want to kill him, even the governments of various countries are the same!
Think about it, if he really cured cancer, what would those developed countries with high welfare all over the world think?
The old guy who was supposed to die at the age of 70 ended up living to 90 and getting an extra 20 years of pension? How much burden will that bring to the country's finances?
This is also the main reason why XXXX knows that tobacco is very harmful, but never forces the common people to stop smoking. . .
So even if he knew that this was a golden way to get rich, he didn't dare to take it back so early. Once he took it back and produced results, he would definitely become a global public enemy!
It's better to put it in this world first and let Sam do research.
Although this guy doesn't know much about modern medical theory, in fact, people in their world have their own unique insights into medicine. After he understands the effective use environment and curative effect of the snake venom, he will also wait until Xiao Feng is in modern medicine. Only when the world has more wings and more capital, will he consider taking back these snake venoms and developing several special medicines.
In the next few days, he has been sending people to strengthen the city defenses. The half-orcs have lost the entire Calabash Gorge, and they will definitely not let it go. This time, their counterattack is bound to be extremely fierce, so he must organize good manpower and take precautions Prepare.
This time he had to face the enemy from the north. The layout of this city was similar to Riverrun, but it was larger in size, could accommodate more people, and had higher walls, but the defense on the west side was extremely weak.
They made a breakthrough from this side of the wall. He didn't want the orcs to take advantage of this loophole, so they have been asking people to raise the city wall during this time. Fortunately, Vieruodis kept sweeping the basin and broke through one after another. Several half-orc castles not only rescued a large number of humans, but also captured tens of thousands of half-orc captives.
These half-orc captives were all sent to Qukai City, where they quarried rocks on the nearby mountains and transported them back here to build the city wall.
Although everyone worked very hard, the speed of building the city wall has not been fast, because since they occupied Qukai City, they have never heard of rain here, and it can be said that it has been raining continuously.
According to the understanding of the local people, even they said that the weather in the past few years was very abnormal, with an astonishing amount of rain, and even the river water swelled violently. Xiao Feng simply asked people to extend the city wall directly to the river, and then Several new piers had been built in the river, though he couldn't say when they would be finished.
