Chapter 157: The Sudden Rise of Magic Papers (Red Comet Maswan Reward Added)

In fact, Gretel understood Pastor Matthew's mood very well. If it were him who was responsible for the work, he wouldn't want to take the temperatures of so many animals, one at a time.

After all, this is too much work. Wearing a black beak suit, a big black hat, and flat glasses, you have to take off your gloves, wash your hands, and disinfect the thermometer every time you take a measurement——

Fortunately it's winter. If it were summer and he was working hard in a suit like this, Gretel felt that he would suffer from heatstroke on the spot just by thinking about it.

Gretel also wanted to help, but firstly, the force value was not enough, and secondly. There is only one thermometer in total. Gretel could only watch from the side, worried again and again:

"Be careful! Don't break it!"

"Be careful! Don't let the mercury leak! The animals will be poisoned!"

"I know, I haven't finished disinfecting it yet... You have to take your time. The glass tube will explode if you put it directly on the fire. You should wash your hands first..."

"Can't I just wash my hands?"

After being asked to wash his hands for the 35th time, Pastor Matthew finally couldn’t bear it anymore:

"Wash your hands after measuring them, and wash your hands after measuring them! Look at my hands, the skin is bulging, and they will crack if I wash them again!"

Grete looked at him sadly and pointed to the cardboard box next to him. Pastor Matthew’s anger immediately dropped a little:

In the paper box, Gretel prepared casing gloves in advance, 12345...a total of forty or fifty pairs, thrown there in a mess.

It was all for him to measure one animal, throw away a pair, measure another, throw away a pair. Grete was extremely well prepared. Looking at the amount, it seemed like he had plundered all the casings he could find...

"Can't we just change it?"

"No. Unless you want cross-infection between experimental animals, the test results will be inaccurate."

Gretel ruthlessly rejected Pastor Matthew. Changing gloves and washing hands are nothing. You must know that in emergency surgery, you have to wash your hands once when handling a patient, and wash your hands again when handling another patient...

If you don't want to wash your hands, just rub it with alcohol-free gel - that stuff isn't much better. When there are many patients, she can rub them hundreds of times a day. The little nurse's pink and tender hands will be dry one day, the skin will break out in two days, and there will be cracks in three days...

Did they say anything? T_T

"Brother Matthew, please bear with me for a while. I'll go buy hand ointment after you finish your work." Grete used his best affinity and tried to persuade:

"We are doing medical-related experiments, and the ultimate goal is to save people. The more we abide by the experimental rules, the more accurate the results will be, and the more likely it is to help more people. So, Brother Matthew, please bear with me a little longer and look back. I will write your name as the first author..."

Pastor Matthew burst out laughing.

"I'm a priest! What's the use of being listed as the first author on the Magic Council's paper?!"

No matter how the author's name is listed, the paper must be written. Fortunately for Grete, the incubation period of this new disease was not too long, so he didn't have to wait too long: animals began to fall ill after five or six days. Gretel took notes while measuring, and more than half a month later, news from Elder Wood also came through.

So, when the quiz at the end of the month was over and the students' research results were tested, Gretel's paper was sent to the desk of the disciple who had left the homework together with the homework of the students in the training class.

Master Harvey looked at the pile of student homework in front of him and his face turned green. Oh my god, what kind of stuff can a level 1 mage write? The format of the paper is half correct, and the abstract often makes no sense. As for the keywords, it would be good if half of them are relevant...

The teacher is too lazy to correct the homework, and he doesn't want to waste time with this thing!

And there are a lot of articles in this issue... Seventy or eighty students submitted more than twenty papers. Considering that joint writing is allowed in the training class, at least half of the students have jumped on this thing, right?

He couldn't even buy a bat... He was only halfway through the previous research!

Master Harvey opened the first chapter dejectedly. "Imitation of the flying posture of bats to improve the feather falling technique" is very good, it is about improving magic. He casually touched a bat wing and tried it according to the description in the paper...

"Additional casting materials have been added, and the magic power consumption has not been reduced, nor has the landing speed increased or decreased." He wrote a note at the end of the paper:

"It is recommended that the student lay a solid foundation in magic research, or choose another research direction."

I threw it aside and opened the second chapter. "Comparative Study of Three Different Bats as Echo Magic Materials", this is not that ambitious, but the conclusion... Master Harvey turned to the second to last page and scanned the lines at a glance:

"To sum up, the difference in bat types does not affect its effect as an echo magic material..." So you have been researching for a long time, but you are lonely?

Master Harvey sneezed, picked up the red pen, and drew out this conclusion without even bothering to write any more comments. The third article, the fourth article...

After reading thirteen or four papers in one breath, Master Harvey's eyes were dazzled and he felt that he no longer recognized the word "bat". He casually threw away another paper and picked up the next paper:

"Study of a disease caused by close contact with bats"

Wha...what?

Studying diseases?

Researching diseases is the job of healers. Why did you hand it over to the training class of the Magic Council? Or is there a necromancer among the students this time? I don't remember that?

Master Harvey's instinct was to throw the paper away. However, when I glanced at it, I happened to see the following summary:

Recently, some patients with similar symptoms have appeared among adventurers who capture bats. We conducted extensive surveys of people who come into contact with bats and conducted animal experiments at the same time, confirming that bats may carry some unknown toxins that can cause diseases in animals and humans. The disease is characterized by: fever, headache, myalgia, vomiting and sore throat, which may be followed by dizziness, drowsiness, confusion...

Master Harvey was stunned. He suddenly remembered that he had a slight fever a few days ago and his throat hurt a little. At that time, I thought I had caught a cold... If it was because of studying bats, how many magicians had fallen victim to it? How many magicians will have serious consequences?

He looked at it carefully. In the paper in hand, many research methods were unfamiliar to him, including a lot of regulations on animal experiments. However, Master Harvey can at least see:

The person who wrote this paper put a lot of effort into designing this experiment, making it as detailed and precise as possible, and eliminating all interference.

"To sum up, we can draw a preliminary conclusion: close contact with bat saliva and excrement, inhalation into the nasal cavity or contamination during eating, may cause illness.

For this reason, it is recommended to wear a mask when studying bats, and be sure to cover your hands and face after the experiment...Do not let bat products come into contact with food..."

The more Master Harvey looked, the more serious he became. Finally, he knocked on the teacher's door with Grete's paper.
