Episode 992:
When I went to the Hyeong-hyeong of Ui-bin and showed him a plaque of appreciation from Dochalwon Cheomdo-eosa (僉都御史), the Hyeong-yeong made a strange sound like ‘Hee-e-eok!’ and agreed to cooperate obediently.
A temporary treatment tent was set up next to Uibin Port. It was natural that patients started arriving one after another.
From there, work on treatment began.
Install a lot of incense burners around and light incense.
Insect repellent scent!
It’s a smoke that drives away insects.
Specially made at Baekrin Uigak!
‘I was planning to learn more from Sacheondanga, but I guess I’ll just use what I have.’
In Bangchunghyang, Sacheon Danga is the best, but Baekrin Uigak is not far behind.
That’s not all.
Triple-layer insect screens were installed in the patient treatment area.
This is to prevent insects from entering.
What you must do to treat malaria!
This is to prevent mosquitoes from biting you again during treatment.
And cleanliness cleanliness.
Dress the patient in new clothes and change bedding.
Since it is difficult to take a bath, you may have to resort to wiping with a wet towel.
The hard work of the Nursing Party lawmakers was great.
at that time.
“Lord Incinerator! “I’m ready!”
Sima Hui rushed over and reported, and Jin Tianxi responded immediately upon returning from the government office.
“great job. “What about the patient?”
“There are already more than 100 people.”
“I’m going crazy… The doctors here probably have a cure for the disease, but they left it like this?”
Unlike earth medicine, which took a huge step back during the Middle Ages.
Of course, people in the Gangho region knew that lice were infected by mosquitoes.
The reason is probably because of the five readings and the Sacheondanga.
As experts in poisons, they are experts in poisoning and loneliness.
There was no way they did not know that mosquitoes can cause insect protozoans to enter the body and cause illness.
I heard that the self-produced drug was effective, but not comparable to modern Earth medicine.
Even if that were the case, it would still be better than not using it at all.
and.
People of the Four Heavenly Ways and those of the Five Readings do not suffer from this disease.
There is no particular reason.
This is because they learn poison techniques.
This is because the poisonous air circulating in the body kills protozoa as soon as they enter the body!
‘I was dumbfounded after knowing the principle.’
It is a world of amazing kiiiiiii.
It sounds crazy, but it’s true.
Even if the cause is known, Yang Min dies because there is no way, and Kang Ho-in survives by learning poison techniques.
“They said there wasn’t enough treatment. It is said that the number of mosquitoes is increasing at a strange rate this year…”
“Is this an abnormal climate?…”
There is a drought in Namdongsa Castle.
And this area where Sacheonseong is located is called Namseo Saseong.
East at that time. West now.
Problems are occurring throughout the empire.
‘plague. famine. War. What is the last one? I wonder if there will be death….’
“Since we have spoken to the government office, let’s mobilize all the local lawmakers and start producing additional treatments. And there are no bug-repelling medicines in this neighborhood?”
“It’s almost exhausted….”
“I’m going to be thrilled. “Someone from Baeklindae, please come!”
“Yes, Incinerator!”
One of the warriors belonging to the Baeklindae jumps up in a huff.
“Please request supplies from Hubei Province and Anhui Province. “As fast and as much as possible!”
Even before leaving Baekrin Uigak, we had brought quite a lot of supplies.
However, looking at the scene now, it seemed like it would not be enough.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
No matter how many supplies we bring, we always run out of supplies.
This is why I envy the space compression pockets in fantasy novels the most.
“now. Let’s move quickly. hurry!”
* * *
It is said that approximately 500,000 people died from malaria in 2017.
The majority of them are children and the elderly with weak immune systems.
The World Health Organization is making ceaseless efforts to eliminate malaria, but the scope of malaria is expanding due to abnormal climate.
Let’s go back to the mid-17th century.
There is something called ‘Jesuit bark’ that cures malaria as if it were washed away.
During the Age of Exploration, missionaries brought powder from a tree in the Andes, and it was very effective against malaria.
It is said that thanks to this powder, the lives of famous historical figures such as Louis XIV and Emperor Kangxi were saved.
This miracle malaria drug is called cina tree. It is a medicine made by grinding the bark of the tree.
Quinine plays a role in preventing the growth of malaria parasites.
The tonic water we drink actually contains the extract of this tree.
There was quinine in the gin and tonic.
There are records of British sailors eating this to prevent malaria while sailing through hot regions.
However, quinine is definitely a medicine, and medicines tend to have side effects.
Pregnant women should not consume it carelessly, and even ordinary people can develop acute pulmonary edema if they overuse it.
‘In some ways, it’s similar to a harsh antibiotic.’
Therefore, in modern Korea, alcohol containing steamed quinine cannot be sold.
In modern America, although it is possible to sell it, the amount is strictly limited by law.
Apart from that, quinine was abused so much that it was mixed with alcohol, mixed with water, and even used to wean babies.
‘There are few medicines in human history that have been taken in such large quantities.’
Instead, it is very bitter and has side effects.
‘The medicine is really strong.’
Afterwards, chloroquine was developed, a version of chloroquine that lowered the side effects and maintained the efficacy.
However, perhaps that is why malaria has become resistant to chloroquine in modern times.
However, quinine, the origin of chloroquine, is still effective in modern times even though it was used extensively in the past.
It’s still strong, the side effects are amazing, and it’s doing a good job of fighting off protozoans.
‘It was said in a book I read a long time ago, but I don’t know if it’s still popular on Earth these days.’
Since malaria itself has different parasite resistance patterns in each region, the drugs used in each region are also different and complex.
Additionally, malaria is evolving just as humans are evolving.
In any case, quinine itself is such a strong drug that it is rarely used as is in modern times.
Usually improved ones are used.
But it’s still much better than nothing, and we’re in a situation where we have to use everything we can within the midfield technology.
‘I’m glad I read this and that before going to medical service.’
In this sense, the Hua Continent where potatoes, tomatoes, corn, yellow fever mosquitoes, and tropical malaria mosquitoes live.
Couldn’t the presence of the Kina tree here be a piece of hope in Pandora’s box?
‘First of all, I cannot produce the quinine component of the kina tree through artificial synthesis.’
I heard it’s possible on modern Earth… but very difficult.
The chemical formula is complicated and the unit cost is high.
Instead, there are some low-level products discovered during the process of artificially synthesizing quinine, and they have fewer side effects and similar efficacy.
Chloroquine, which has begun to develop resistance in most tropical regions, as mentioned above, and mefloquine, which is less resistant yet.
However, even those derivative friends do not have the technology to make them in the current martial arts planet.
‘It’s the same as with aspirin. The only way is to make it with real tree bark.’
In this Jungwon Wurim star, the only thing you can trust is Mother Nature.
Fortunately, that alone is more than enough to overwhelm the Earth.
So Jin Cheon-hee created malaria medicine by isolating the medicinal properties from the bark of the cina tree.
Because that is possible with this midfield technology.
In the past, salicylic acid was extracted from willow trees using quince oil, and the same method was used this time as well.
1. Crush the bark of the kina tree that has been dried at low temperature.
2. Add five poison oil, which will be the solvent, to the powder and mix.
3. Stir well to make a mixed solution and filter it several times with a fine cloth.
4 When the filtered liquid is heated and purified, it becomes quinine alkaloid.
Profit!
Successfully extracted the medicinal properties of quinine.
Of course, the complicated key or wood washing process, the dog-like pain of low-temperature drying, the mixing ratio of five poison oils, the hardships of stirring it, etc. + etc. are all omitted.
‘I’m not going to think about that. we.’
For reference, whether it is better to obtain fresh kina trees and extract them as quickly as possible, or whether it is more efficient to dry them at low temperatures is a question that researchers are still fighting over.
‘Since this is a world without cars, I gave my vote for low-temperature drying.’
It is also possible to use Kangho medical alcohol as a substitute for five poison oils, but that too is being fought fiercely.
‘I vote for Odokyu to make it similar to the penicillin process.’
Jin Cheon-hee supported the low-temperature dried five-dose oil, but that may change as improvements are made.
‘A moment of silence for the members of the National Assembly.’
Anyway, aspirin twists its body here by having to synthesize acetic acid into salicylic acid.
However, with quinine, on the other hand, I had to choose a Jungwon Planet herb to take together to alleviate the unique side effects of quinine.
Of course it’s not perfect.
Even with such relief, it is still difficult to prescribe it to pregnant women.
‘The alternative drug for pregnant women is artemisinin. ‘This can be prescribed to pregnant women.’
However, because of its short duration and risk of resistance, its sole use is avoided on Earth.
In addition, even if it is artemisinin, it is dangerous in the early stages, so a doctor must check the drug before prescribing it.
‘The second half of pregnancy is better than the first, but it can be dangerous.’
In any case, special attention must be paid to prescribing at levels that are better than quinine.
‘Also, Artemisine has a handicap that is unique to the midfield.’
Think about it later.
First of all, the Uigak unconditionally recommends hospitalization.
‘It took a lot of trouble to make it.’
Thanks to this, the land that Jin Cheon-hee tore from each sect was filled with rape flowers, various medicinal herbs, and willow trees.
And the cina tree and artemisia are growing together.
And there is another method that can only be used on Moorim Planet.
A method that cannot be imagined on Earth.
‘I guess I’ll have to do that at the same time.’

Jin Cheon-hee had a secret way of treating patients that others could not.
Just as Jegalin does civil engineering work himself, he treats patients using secret techniques that only Jin Cheonhee can do.
“It’s to save the patient, but… there’s nothing we can do. “I have no choice but to unseal my Black Flame Dragon.”
A black flame dragon sleeping on his left arm.
Originally, it could only be used in small amounts in an emergency.
However, Jin Cheon-hee, who got a taste of Hyeon-gyeong, was able to use it more freely than in the past.
Use that.
It makes the patient have a constitution that has learned temporary poison techniques.
Kill protozoans with poison!
But this is only a temporary measure.
Unless Jin Cheon-hee’s body is enlarged by 108 self-immolation techniques, it is impossible to treat all the patients and the people pouring in like a flood.
We need to find more treatments quickly.
This treatment is just buying time for that.
‘With the medicine I brought, all of Uibin’s patients could be cured, but there is no cure after that.’
I have requested medicinal materials from Baeklin Uigak Bunta in other regions, but it will take a month or two.
In the meantime, you need to do this to treat while saving as much medicine as possible.
Jin Cheon-hee first approached the first patient.
Activate the Hyeonwonjeondanshingong to the maximum and examine every inch of the patient’s body using the vital energy pulse.
‘With this much vitality, I can use poison attacks.’
But that’s not a big deal.
Usually, when a master guides Ha Ha, he uses his own energy to guide him, but Jin Cheon-hee does it with his own attack.
A subtle poison began to flow through Jin Cheon-hee’s heart.
How long has it been?
“Huh…”
The treatment was not complete.
A process of revitalizing miasma and simultaneously injecting vital energy into the patient’s body.
If your opponent is a strong person, this action alone can temporarily increase your internal strength and improve your health.
However, the opponent is Yang Min.
If it is made stronger here, the patient’s body may be damaged.
And….
‘It’s more difficult to make a weak attack than to make it stronger.’
I realized something new.
This also felt engraved in Jin Cheon-hee’s mind.
‘I think I can do better next time.’
Jin Cheon-hee went back to her dorm.
Because I have something to organize my thoughts.
There, I sat cross-legged and fell into trouble.
‘First of all, as a member of the National Assembly, I gradually began to adapt to this powerful land.’
Three weapons we can use against malaria.
Quinine, artemisinine and kiiii….
‘It sounds crazy even when I say it.’
Should we be thankful that science still works in the world of Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, or should we say that we are fortunate that we can break through with the power of kiii if the situation arises?
Still, there is only one thing to do.
‘Saving people.’
Nothing took precedence over that.
“I need to research how to make poison attacks ‘weaker’.”
If people from the Sicheondang family see this, they will call it crazy.
You learn poison to kill people, and isn’t the stronger the poison the better?
No, maybe other powerhouses are the same.
You must be wondering if he is sane to think of ways to lower his current situation even though it is so terrible.
But to Jin Cheon-hee, nothing was more important than this.
‘Weaker, weaker.’
Jin Cheonhee muttered.
At that moment, Jin Cheon-hee’s hair puffed up even though there was no wind.
However, he did not realize it at all and continued his calculations in the world of selflessness.
“Ah, I see. Just killing isn’t important. “What’s important is ‘what’ to kill.”
Was that the martial arts that was immersed in me?
At that time, Namgoongun came to visit Jin Cheonhee.
“Jin, it’s almost time to eat…”
Fluffy hair and bright blue eyes.
A small muttering sound resounds in selflessness.
At that time, when a member of the Chamber of Commerce attempted to enter Jin Cheon-hee’s tent, Namgoongun blocked him.
“Please wait a moment.”
“yes?”
“….”
Namgoongun didn’t answer and just smiled.
Friend’s enlightenment now is not something great like Bu-Gong Samadhi.
It’s just a matter of establishing what you know and what you don’t know.
Of course, he can be said to be great, but he cannot go to the police department right away.
However, the selflessness of my friend, who is achieving martial arts skills only through medical techniques, is amazing.
As a close friend, I will protect you until the end.
‘What on earth are you realizing in a place like this? Jin aww.’
The image is changing, not in the middle of a bloody death, but in the middle of an epidemic.
‘Ah, the reward for secretly protecting the law will be a small amount of rice bowl.’
Something spicy and sweet.
Pork rice bowl with a plump texture.
Namgoongwoon quenched his appetite.
Rice is important.
Wow!
At that time, Hwanggu asked to get out of the way.
A dog does not know its owner’s enlightenment.
I just watch it when I want to.
Namgoongun pulls Hwanggu’s cheek and holds him back so he can’t go in.
“Are you hungry too?”
Grumpy-
I feel like I’m slowly becoming similar to that Hwang-gu guy.
