Chapter 1017 Plague Mage, Report to the Plague Lord! (Book Friends Received 89.45 Million Rewards for Additional Updates)
The Netherlands Business Group, the Kent Kingdom Business Group, and the New World Development Group are eagerly waiting for the Lord of Plague to make a vaccine, just like the hope of a severe drought.
There is no way, the anti-mosquito equipment is too expensive, a piece of 50 gold coins can only be used for three months. Produced by the Plague Lord, it is said that it costs 1 gold coin a piece for the Eagle Kingdom... Even if shipping is included, how about 10 gold coins a piece for yourself?
Gretel... Gretel eagerly awaits the arrival of the mages of the plague branch, like a cloud in the hope of a severe drought.
There's no way around it. The work of attenuating poisons may seem very high-end, but in fact, like all research in biology, basic medicine, materials science, etc., it's a matter of infinite manpower.
It may seem like you have worked your butt off to get into the best university, get a master's degree, or get a doctorate. In fact, all day long, you just spend time in the laboratory taking samples, adding samples, taking samples again, adding more samples, and filling up a 48- or 96-cell block. Board, put it aside...
Or you may keep extracting, distilling, purifying, and then extracting, distilling, and purifying again; or you may run electrophoresis, run electrophoresis, run electrophoresis; or you may go through the column, pass the column, pass the column...
Experiment, observe, measure, and see if you get the results you want. If you are lucky enough to get it, you can naturally publish a good article; if you don't get it, you may have to postpone the completion.
A doctoral student's best years pass by one, two, and three years in such boring repetitive work.
Gretel isn't much better here either. Infect a mouse, observe the onset of disease, and throw it to Onekin:
"Draw blood! Take brain cells, liver cells, and kidney cells! Give them to Skeleton 123, and make pathological slices for me—"
A group of skeletons clicked to work. O'Neal is responsible for drawing blood and killing the mice; Skeleton 1 cuts off the mouse's head and takes out the brain; Skeleton 2 cuts out the liver, Skeleton 3 cuts out the kidneys...
A pathological section was obtained from each skeleton and presented to Gretel. That's the good thing about skeletons. Once you've been taught it once, you can complete it seriously and you won't cut corners just because you feel bored.
And all Gretel had to do was observe. Observe whether there are any changes in the pathological sections compared to normal cells - very good, the brain, liver, and kidneys all have changes, but relatively speaking, the brain has more changes.
This shows that the brain, liver, and kidneys are the main target organs corroded by yellow fever virus, and the brains of mice are more severely corroded——
One more round!
One more round!
The result of repeating three rounds was that, as expected, yellow fever virus had the most obvious attack on the brains of mice. So we decided to use mouse brains and pass them over again and again!
Well, the Oak Grove Institute makes an attenuated rabies vaccine, which seems to have been continuously passed down for fifty or sixty generations;
In reality, attenuated vaccines seem to be passed on continuously for more than a hundred generations;
This wave, there is magical attenuation, which requires the virus to mutate in a weakened direction as much as possible. Maybe after twenty, thirty, or even ten generations, a weak strain that is enough to make an attenuated vaccine can be screened out?
Grete thought happily. Think about it, do it or do it:
Use the brain tissue extract of the infected mice, inject it into the brain of the mouse, inject it into the subcutaneous cavity of the mouse, inject it into the abdominal cavity of the mouse, and use [Epidemic Technique] to infect the mouse;
Feed them for 1-3 days and observe their weight, body temperature, respiration and food intake. Although Gretel is a level 10 Nature Priest, he can directly feel the health status of mice with great effort, but observation, measurement, and objective recording are also necessary!
O'Nealkin, Skeleton 1234, don't be lazy!
After the observation is completed, the mice with the mildest symptoms are selected, the brain cells are extracted, crushed, dissolved, filtered, centrifuged, the mice are reinfected, and then observed;
The brain tissue of one mouse can infect dozens of mice; among the dozens of mice, each group selects a few mice with the mildest symptoms, and each mouse infects ten mice...
In this cycle, the first day is fine, the second day is fine, the third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
The results of the scrolling are horrific!
Even if Gretel desperately squeezes the skeleton, the number of mice that need to be observed and the number of mouse brains that need to be smashed increases exponentially!
He is short of manpower!
Shortage of manpower!
There is a shortage of necromancers who can work, and skeletons who can work!
"Ah - when will someone come to help me -"
Grete lay sprawled on the laboratory floor, wailing loudly. Archmage Heins carried his robe, walked over carefully, and kicked the soles of his feet with his toes:
"Lack of skeletons? Do you want me to give you those zombies too?"
"no way!"
Gretel jumped up.
A skeleton is a skeleton! The skeleton is clean and the bones are smooth. After one injection, you can soak your hands in disinfectant. After a day's work, you can take a bath in the vat of disinfectant!
Other undead creatures, zombies, abominations, undead knights - they are all difficult to disinfect! Some even fall off! It will drop rotten flesh! ! !
He doesn't want it!
"Then there's nothing we can do." Archmage Haines sighed helplessly. Even if he is an 18th-level archmage, there are only a handful of undead creatures under his command that have self-will and can do fine work——
And we also have to consider the combat mix, we can’t just use skeletons. Gretel only wants skeletons and nothing else, so that would be difficult.
"Otherwise, I go to the Snake God Temple, or dig a tomb somewhere nearby, and summon a group of undead souls? Speaking of which, the snake god's necromancy spells are still very interesting. Their mummies and crystal skulls have very strange power laws. Do you want to study together?"
Gretel looked at him warily. I am an evocation magician, not a necromancer! I'm not interested at all in those laws of necromancy you mentioned!
Don't try to seduce me!
"Although I can't stop you from rubbing the skeleton - but are you sure that the skeleton you evoked with the local aboriginal bones can understand our words? Can you teach it to do these delicate tasks? It won't just be able to hear it. Do you understand the indigenous language?”
"This is because you don't understand the rules of the undead... Come on, let me tell you..."
"I'm going to see the mice! I have to do another round today! - By the way, when will the magicians from the plague branch arrive!"
Gretel fled.
The Necromancer, the branch of the plague that Gretel wanted, was shaking and shaking on the ship sailing to the New World.
I heard that the Lord of the Plague was recruiting people. At first, the plague branch was like a boiling pot, and everyone broke their heads and grabbed it. As soon as the returning magician conveyed the request, more than half of it immediately withered:
"What? Go to the research institute over there and swear to the secrets that everything you learn and know will be used to treat illnesses and save people? You must not use it to harm or kill?"
Eighth-level mage Brenda Knapp quickly withdrew her application. Next to him, the ninth-level mage Haldan Duran also shook his head:
"Then isn't more than half of our abilities disabled? No, not more than half, but completely disabled!"
"If you can't use plague to kill or injure people, what's the use of our plague branch? We might as well transfer it to the medical branch!"
Level 11 Archmage Sumant Toth couldn't help but complain. He took back his application, tore it up, and returned to his laboratory. As soon as he stepped into the laboratory, he saw a group of people gathered at the door, with more than a dozen pairs of eager eyes staring at him:
"Teacher, can we go?"
"Yes, teacher, can we apply?"
"You want to go?" Master Toth frowned deeply. What greeted him was a bunch of chickens nodding like they were pecking at rice:
"Yeah yeah!"
"How nice it is to be there with Master Nordmark! No need to kill! No need to fight! Just research!"
"Look at the group of people at Oak Grove Medical Clinic! Those who went in at the beginning are now at the lowest level three, and the highest level is almost seven levels! How fast they advance!"
"The key is to have a way out! If the research is successful, we can sell vaccines! Yellow fever vaccines, malaria vaccines, and vaccines for so many plagues are all developed. What a huge income it will be!"
"It's also good for the parliament! It's no worse than going to the battlefield to fight and kill! For the same warriors, our family has vaccines, but those from the Glorious Holy See don't have vaccines, so we'll kill them!"
"There is no shortage of killing atmosphere! It is said that dozens of mice and rabbits are killed there every day, as well as chickens, pigs, and monkeys... There is no shortage of opportunities for dissection!"
"If you can work hard, who wants to beat and kill you!"
this……
Archmage Thoth let out a long sigh. Looking left and right, most of his disciples, apprentices, and laboratory staff were eager to try——
Especially the group recruited by the magic school and assigned to the necromancy department. There's no way around it, Necromancers are notoriously hard to find a job!
If the transformation system can enter the production sequence, the prophecy system can try to be an accountant, and the control system can at least enter the performance industry, then if the necromancer is not accepted by the mage tower, he will almost have no choice but to venture out into the wild:
if not?
Expect a certain local nobleman to be obsessed with the death of his wife/lover/beloved son and allow a necromancer to stay in his castle to try to resurrect the dead?
If there is such demand, why not place an order directly with the council? If the Necromancer Legends can do it, they will naturally put up a price. If they can't do it, then low-level magicians can't even do it...
Not all necromancers are bitter and hateful!
Not all necromancers enjoy killing!
Many magicians are still normal people who want to find a job normally, raise a family normally, get married and have children normally...
"Forget it, if you want to sign up, just go ahead...wait!" He took out a form from his space bag:
"Only magicians of level 5 or above are recruited there! The minimum level is 5 and the maximum level is 9! It requires proficiency in summoning the phantom pony, mastering the mage hut, and mastering..."
Most of the low-level mages retreated sadly. Archmage Thoth breathed a sigh of relief and continued reading:
"Able to accept long-term research work, the first period is no less than 5 years...Able to accept working no less than 10 hours a day...Salary? The salary is paid by Black Crow Swamp. It is currently tentative and is based on the current average salary of this level. Above, an increase of 50% will be used as overseas allowance..."
"Plague mages who accept employment are each assigned a golden skeleton as a work tool - after five years of service, they can purchase it at half price..."
These detailed and complicated requirements are not too high - they can even be considered relatively low wages, and the hard work has dissuaded a number of magicians.
Finally, 20 mages from the plague branch boarded the ship and sailed staggeringly to the new continent. After landing, he took the map given by the council, rode the phantom horse, and flew straight to the west——
"We are here! Dear Lord of the Plague, 20 mages from the plague branch should be here, but there are actually 20, reporting to you!"
"It's coming, it's great!" Gretel was overjoyed:
"Come on, come in with me - take a bath, change clothes, and come inject the mice!"
