Chapter 698

Professor Zhou's eyes lit up, "Four ships, they need a team dedicated to studying the weather."

When Li Xuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "Don't, Professor Zhou, I'm a fishing boat, not a climate boat. If you arrange for me to have all the atmospheric science professionals to come on the boat, then I'd better change careers."

Ocean University has many long-term cooperation companies.

The reason why these ocean-going companies are willing to cooperate with Ocean University for a long time is that they can provide them with various talents in need within Ocean University.

If they all follow the people provided by Ocean University and they would like to cooperate, then these Oceanic companies would have stopped working long ago.

Like when Li Xuan went to school, he went to a large ocean fishing company for training. That time he went to more than 100 people, but there were only two majoring in marine biology.

Although these students only train on board for a period of time, it can be less than a month, and it will not exceed one semester and holidays at most, which is half a year.

It seems that those Oceanwide companies that cooperate with Ocean University have lost money. The talents have just been trained and they left in a blink of an eye.

Actually, this is not the case.

These crew members are basically trained, who know all theories and only have practice, and they only need to adapt to the ship for two or three days before they can work normally immediately, and most of them are very active in their work.

】

Moreover, these ocean-going companies do not mean that after these trainees left on the boat, there were fewer people on the boat and could not be opened.

The people sent out for training at Ocean University are batch after batch, and they are constantly uninterrupted. As long as you want people, they will always be crowded.

So this kind of cooperation is mutually win-win.

Professor Zhou put down the water cup, "Then who do you need?"

Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "I originally didn't want to major in atmospheric science, but I also came from Ocean University. If I have the ability, I naturally have to support my juniors. I want about five medical majors, eight to ten drivers, and two people who study the weather. That's it."

Professor Zhou frowned, "You know, our Ocean University has a high score line, but the medical major ranks very low in China. Few people who study medicine will apply for our Ocean University. Most of them are only two or three classes in one grade. When it is too rare, there are only a dozen classes in one grade and one class. It is okay if you need ten or eight drivers. Even if you need hundreds or eight, it is easy for you to have five medical students. Are you really a graduate of Haida University?"

Li Xuan smiled embarrassedly, "My expectation is that there are five, how many can I get, please see what arrangements you can do."

"No one is there. There are less than one hundred people in the medical majors in these classes. Freshmen and sophomores are not likely to go out for training. Juniors are all gold, and seniors are all Oceanwide companies that offer annual salary of 600,000 yuan per pre-hire." Professor Zhou said.

Li Xuan grabbed the face, "Is it so scarce?"

Professor Zhou made a joke, "You think, even Oda, a man who painted a cartoon, knows that the boat doctors are nervous. There are not even the boat doctors on the protagonist group. You still want five more, what do you think?"

Li Xuan nodded, "I understand."

Ship doctors have been a very shortage of profession since the birth of ships.

In the sailing era, long voyages are generally required to be equipped with a ship doctor.

At sea, ship doctors have been highly respected since ancient times, especially internal medicine doctors.

However, at sea, ordinary merchant ships and expedition ships are basically not suitable for ship doctors, and they are not qualified to be equipped with ship doctors. There are several band-aids on ordinary fishing boats, even if they are equipped with medical supplies.

All over the world, the development of ship doctors is relatively slow.

Early ship doctors were also called "barbers".

Because since the Middle Ages, some surgeons in Europe worked part-time by barbers.

Anyway, they were all surgery. In that era, there was no requirement that surgery be too complicated, as long as it could save a few people.

The recorded ship doctor of the Magellan fleet is named Hernando Bustament.

According to the information, his medical supplies were purchased from a pharmacist named Joan Velner shortly before departure.

The tools in the first aid kit he carried were a haircut, a scalpel, a tooth extractor, a copper enema and a small scale.

The medicines he brought on the ship include liquids distilled with various herbs, laxatives, turpentine oil, lard, various ointments, chamomile, honey, and mercury, and these things are carefully placed in small jars.

In fact, the diseases that early ship doctors can treat are very limited.

For example, the most common yellow fever, malaria, typhus and other diseases at sea, the cause of the disease was not known at the medical level at that time.

At most, the ship doctor will let the sick sailors bleed, or use laxatives to let the sailors "excite toxins".

In most cases, the ship doctor is helpless for those diseases that cannot be found.

Of course, some responsible ship doctors are likely to try to use herbs or folk remedies to treat diseases.

Before this century, the mortality rate of sailors after getting sick was very high, and basically no one would complain about the level of the ship doctor.

Therefore, before this century, the biggest role of a ship doctor was to extract teeth and perform surgical operations.

Bustament, the ship doctor of the Magellan fleet, mainly did the best thing along the way was to extract teeth.

As for surgery, sailors are very susceptible to injuries when carrying goods, fighting storms, and fighting, so the ship doctor has a place to use it.

However, considering that the barber worked as a part-time surgeon at that time, it was naturally impossible to perform too complicated surgery.

Generally speaking, first aid for the wounded is to rinse the wound with sea water, then find ways to stop the bleeding, and finally wrap it up with a bandage.

If a crew member is lucky, the wound may be healed. If the wound is unlucky, the wound will be infected and will need amputation.

This is the time when the ship doctor shows his skills. Because there was a lack of effective anesthetics at that time, the sailor could drink at most two mouthfuls of strong alcohol, and the ship doctor would do it directly.

Speed ​​is very important. Rapid amputation can prevent sailors from dying from losing too much blood. As for how long they can live after amputation, it is left to fate. The early mortality rate of amputation is as high as 80%.

Therefore, if the sailor is sick or injured during the sailing, you can try to get the ship doctor to treat it. Whether he can survive depends mainly on luck.

So in the early days, the job of a ship doctor was quite embarrassing. This profession was indispensable, but it could not play a big role.

Only after the 21st century did the profession of marine medicine develop slowly.

Like the three ocean-going fishing boats that Li Xuan drove back to Longmen Town Wharf, they sailed in one day, even if they were empty and did not trawl, they would have to consume more than 90 tons of fuel in a day.
