Struggle in the Steam Age

It can be said that the internal affairs of the hospital were handled well. At least the whole house was disinfected according to the method proposed in Lawrence's paper at that time, and at the same time, they insisted on disinfecting them when treating the wounds. And just now Lawrence and the others heard the shouts from the wounded while they were being disinfected.

"Is there enough disinfectant?" Lawrence Lawrence immediately began to perform his duties after arriving at the logistics office of this temporary hospital. Compared with the various medical equipment and sheets and bedding that were in use before, he was a little worried This newly added necessity will not be enough.

"It's enough. Our chemical factory pulls a trolley of bleach to sterilize medical equipment in the room. This bleach has the same disinfection effect as carbolic acid, but it's not as corrosive as carbolic acid."

The director of logistics introduced it very proudly, and then took a bottle of light yellow liquid in a glass bottle from the shelf behind him. After opening the bottle cap, a pungent smell rushed straight into Lawrence's nostrils. , he also smelled a familiar smell from it.

"Why does it smell like 84 disinfectant?" After fanning himself again with his hands on the top of the bottle, Lawrence was able to confirm that this bleach should be the same as the 84 disinfectant in his previous life through his previous inquiry to the logistics director and his own perception. There is no difference between the disinfectant and disinfectant, but in his impression, the hospital smelled of August 4th disinfectant all day long.

"It seems that carbolic acid is more corrosive, and then it was eliminated?" Lawrence thought a little uncertainly after thinking about the information he read in his previous life. "It doesn't matter, anyway, people in this world are not stupid. I just need to use my knowledge to help them give advice. They will definitely be able to find a path that suits them best."

"Then what about the alcohol used to sterilize the wounded?" After skipping the issue of the disinfectant used to sterilize equipment and the environment, Lawrence became concerned about another kind of disinfectant used to sterilize humans, because in this era, all ethanol that can sterilize humans It is brewed with grain, not chemical raw materials like Lawrence's previous life. So he was a little worried that the alcohol would be insufficient.

"It's also very sufficient." The logistics chief said, "I have to say that we are very lucky. A wine merchant of Rurik origin donated 20 wooden barrels of eaux-de-vie, which is enough for us. "

"Sounds very good." Lawrence nodded. In any case, sufficient supplies are one of the most important foundations for solving problems. As long as the supplies are sufficient, most of the problems can be solved.

The next step is to investigate the situation in the ward on the spot. Lawrence also knows what happened to those screams just now. After all, it is related to the murlocs.

Through questioning the doctors and the wounded, Lawrence learned that most of the wounded here were wounded by ordinary murlocs in the melee, except for a few who were wounded by the extraordinary power of the murlocs.

Among the ordinary murlocs, the elite murloc troops wore armor made of aquatic plants and driftwood, and the spears in their hands were tied with some broken metal pieces that looked like broken pots and pans. But the vast majority of ordinary murlocs have nothing on their bodies, only holding a sharpened wooden stick in their hands.

Although murlocs are a wilderness race with a severe lack of intelligence, they still know how to use tools. And as an aquatic organism, metal smelting is definitely a big problem for them. If mermaids with natural intelligence no less than that of humans and with a large number of extraordinary individuals can barely smelt metal in water, mobs like murlocs are definitely useless.

Therefore, the only metals that the murlocs have can only be obtained by attacking land races. In order to save precious metals and to facilitate use in water with high resistance, most of the weapons used by these murlocs are various forks or A spear is a type of weapon that mainly stabs.

This has also led to the fact that most of the wounded in the hospital now have penetrating wounds, and this kind of wound is more painful than other wounds when disinfected.

For example, in a ward on the third floor, Lawrence watched closely the doctors disinfecting the wound of a newly delivered second lieutenant. The unlucky second lieutenant platoon leader took the lead in the command process, but was besieged by a group of murlocs. With the cooperation of his comrades with pistols and sabers, he bravely overturned 16 murlocs, but unfortunately he was shot in the chest by a murloc at the end. Poked a pair of piercings.

In the end, in order to disinfect the platoon leader, the doctors had to find two burly male nurses to hold him down, and then a doctor inserted a sterilized gauze soaked in alcohol from the bottom of the wound and pulled it out from the top. Then it was pulled back and forth in the foot like a shoe shine.

I have to say that this soldier is determined enough to keep his body as still as possible to cooperate with the doctor's treatment despite the pain, but the subconscious screams are really unavoidable.

"Most of the wounded are like this, the wound is not big but deep." A doctor standing beside Lawrence said, "So pain is inevitable during disinfection, but fortunately after such a process After disinfection, the chance of such a wound becoming infected and eventually requiring amputation dropped from 24 percent to 0.4 percent."

"Very good." Lawrence nodded in satisfaction. If there is no need for amputation, it means that the wounded can basically recover after recovery. From all angles, this is a good thing. Also because of this, even if the wounded feel more painful when being disinfected than when being injured, each wounded does his best to cooperate with the medical staff to disinfect their wounds.

In another ward, Lawrence saw a nurse take a potted plant from a cart and put it on the bedside table of the wounded. This plant grows very strangely. There is only a bright red fruit the size of a fist growing on the top of the branches and leaves at the height of the forearm. It looks a bit top-heavy.

After placing the plants, the nurse put the wounded man's hand beside the potted plant, grabbed a branch of the plant and put it on the wounded man's wrist, then took out a small test tube from her bosom and filled the test tube with emerald green drops on the fruit.

In an instant, the plant seemed to be alive, wrapped its branches around the wounded's arm and pierced the wounded's skin with its thorns, and then the bright red liquid flowed out from the fruit and flowed into the wounded's body along the branches.

"What is this?" Lawrence asked curiously, he had never seen such a thing before. "It seems to be some kind of extraordinary plant!"

"This is called a blood fruit, and it is a unique fruit here." The doctor who accompanied Lawrence said, "It's normal for you not to know each other, because this is a priest of the God of Suffering who just met two weeks ago. A special plant cultivated together by the Agricultural Church."

"Priest Brondel is not only a bishop of the Church of the Suffering God, but also a director of the Charity Hospital affiliated to the Church of the Suffering God," the doctor explained to Lawrence. "Because this is the Great Lakes region, there are many cases of injuries caused by various extraordinary creatures, and the final cause of death of many injured people is due to excessive blood loss."

"And the potions used by extraordinary people are either too expensive or not suitable for ordinary people to use. So Priest Borondel tried to invent a blood-enriching method that ordinary people can use."

"After five years of cooperation with the Church of Agriculture, they finally cultivated this inexpensive fruit that can transfuse blood more than ten days ago, and now they are here to take advantage of the wounded who have lost too much blood Concentrate testing."

Is the blood transfusion technology in this world so magical? After listening to the doctor's explanation, Lawrence thought, but also thinking about it, it is very normal to use magic to solve problems in a world where supernatural powers appear in the world.

"Okay, I've almost checked this hospital." Lawrence said to the accompanying doctor after transferring to the whole hospital. "Next, I should go to the front line to see."
