"In the past two years, our army has entered Annan Kingdom, Chameng Kingdom and other places, and the list of casualties has been counted, and the situation is really not optimistic." An official from the General Staff counted the relevant casualties of the Indochina Peninsula.

Compared with the more vague statistical theories in ancient times, Chu Yun, who traveled from modern times, was extremely sensitive or paranoid about data statistics. In the past, when he was in the history system, when he was involved in the ancient history in China, he usually lacked accurate data. The older the age, the more vague the data, and he would always be in hundreds of thousands of troops, but in fact there was a lot of water.

In order to have a better control over his territory, Chu Yun is gradually establishing corresponding statistical systems, not only money and food, but also detailed war damage reports and files of each soldier to avoid the occurrence of empty wages in the late Ming Dynasty.

He took the statistics on the personnel who lost to occupy the Indochina Peninsula in the past two years and his face was not very good-looking.

"Among the 10 people, at least 7 people died of miasma..." Chu Yun glanced briefly.

When attacking Annan and Champaign, the number of people who suffered from war was not as many people as expected. Instead, the majority of people died of miasma. Miasma is a relatively general concept. Most soldiers, officials, and immigrants died of tropical and subtropical malaria. In ancient times, malaria was a very serious obstacle to conquering the southern region.

"According to the rewards ahead, many soldiers get slapped. Once infected with this disease, they will have chills and chills, and then have a high fever and are unconscious. Eight or ten people will die, which is extremely terrible. The weather in Annan area is dry, hot and humid, and moist mosquitoes grow in summer and autumn. The soldiers are impatient and complain, causing a significant blow to the morale of the soldiers." An official said worriedly.

"In the middle Tang Dynasty, Li Mi, the queen of Yu Nanliu, led an army of 70,000 to conquer the Nanzhao Kingdom, but the miasma epidemic was rampant. The soldiers were killed by the miasma epidemic and were eventually wiped out. The Nanzhao Kingdom was in the territory of the current Yunnan Provincial Administration. Fortunately, most of the soldiers recruited by our Independent Corps were from Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Lianghu and other places. They were more adapted to the humid and hot environment and the losses were not great. Even so, when they went further south of Annan, they were still afraid of miasma epidemics like tigers and leopards." Another official also had a headache when talking about malaria.

Malaria... Chu Yun knew its terribleness. Not to mention ancient times, even modern times, countless people died because of this disease, so the discovery of artemisinin was qualified to win the Nobel Prize in Science.

"How can I cure this disease?" Chu Yun raised an army from the north and had few opportunities to encounter malaria. He was not familiar with the ancient methods of treating malaria.

"Wang Tao of the Tang Dynasty "Secret Prescriptions for Outer Taiwan" contains as many as 85 prescriptions. Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty "Emergency Prescriptions for Elbows" includes 32 prescriptions, mostly using herbs such as Changshan to make miasma, and using animal bones, human yellow and other folk prescriptions. But..." Some officials familiar with medicine said hesitantly, "It's just that the prescription has limited effect, and people who get sick often can only sit and wait for death. Otherwise, from Qin to Song, miasma would not have been broken out during the southern expeditions many times, and many prisoners exiled to the south would have died..."

"Folk remedies are not credible, and it's okay to study herbs, which means there is no particularly good prescription to overcome miasma. This is indeed a relatively difficult problem. I will ask the Academy of Sciences to convene the world and establish a medical department to specifically overcome this problem." Chu Yun can only pin his hopes on future medical technology.

Speaking of the technologies launched by Chu Yun, most of them are pure industrial technologies, focusing on resource mining, smelting, military, and agriculture, while medical technologies are rarely opened.

In fact, it is not that Chu Yun does not want to open up important modern medical technology, but modern medical technology is based on a large number of chemistry and biology. Many important achievements appeared in the 20th century. For example, when the antibacterial drug penicillin first came out, it was more precious than gold. If such technology could be enabled, just reselling the produced penicillin to surrounding countries, it would be as rich as a country.

However, because modern medical technology is too close, the civilization point required is an astonishing astronomical figure, and Chu Yun is powerless.

I learned from the officials of the General Staff that the miasma encountered when conquering the South Ocean. When Chu Yun was alone, he activated the Industrial Revolution system to view related technologies.

"The cinchona cream extraction technology, a technology that extracted quinine, an antimalarial component in the cinchona bark used by Indians to treat fever, required 50,000 civilization points."

...

"Artemisinin combined therapy, a combination therapy with artemisinin as the core discovered by a certain Chinese medical scientist, is a very effective means to treat malaria. By interfering with the functions of the mitochondria of the surface membrane of the Plasmodium, it requires 2 million civilization points."

Chu Yun browsed the medical technology of antimalarial drugs and discovered important technologies discovered by his own country in the 20th century. He couldn't help but miss the world he traveled through.

He really wanted to directly enable the "artemisinin combination therapy" to solve the casualties caused by malaria to the soldiers of the Jiuzhou Army. However, artemisinin was discovered too late, and the civilization points needed were astronomical. Chu Yun was facing the dilemma of insufficient civilization points to enable technology.

"Let's turn on the Jinjina frost extraction technology first..." Chu Yun thought for a while. Since he couldn't turn on the best technology at present, he could only wait. Just like a 100-point and 80-point technology, he couldn't turn on the 100-point technology. An 80-point technology is better than the current dilemma.

However, Chu Yun immediately thought of this technology that it is necessary to extract compounds from the cinchona tree, and he had never heard of the cinchona tree before and now. Could it be that there is no cinchona tree in his territory in this era?

"System, where is the Jinjina tree?" Chu Yun had no choice but to ask the system.

"South America." The system replied.

"Then just like summoning the rubber plantation last time, summon a golden chona tree to the place I designated." Chu Yun is already familiar with the use of the industrial revolution system, knowing that as long as he has a civilized point, he can do whatever he wants.

After the last time the Annan Kingdom was captured, the Industrial Revolution system seemed to have determined that it was a colony. Now the colonies occupied by Chu Yun include two ports, Annan Kingdom, Chameng Kingdom, and Japan Kingdom, and one port in Zhenla Kingdom. The colony has a population of more than 3 million. It has completed the first stage of the historical achievement of the "Rise of the Empire": a colony with a population of 10 million and a population of 2 million, and obtained 250,000 civilization points. At present, civilization points are relatively abundant for Chu Yun, as long as they do not involve advanced technology from the 20th century.
