It's not that difficult to open a hospital in another world, right? Chapter 571: You have been poisoned (Ling Yeyu will be rewarded with thousands of rewards)
Chapter 571: You have been poisoned (Ling Yeyu will be rewarded with thousands of rewards)
If it was just a lead mine, Grete would have no clue based on his shallow knowledge of mineralogy. The tried-and-true "ask the patient to get a blood test" had no conditions for implementation.
However, the combination of lead and zinc mines immediately triggered his memory, oh oh oh, cadmium pollution!
This is very famous!
Lead-zinc ores are often associated with silver, copper, sulfur, gold, indium, gallium, cadmium, germanium and other minerals. Among them, the most famous environmental pollution caused during the mining and smelting process is cadmium poisoning.
In a previous life, in the 20th century, the famous "Itai-itai disease" occurred in the Jintsu River Basin in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. The patients suffered from joint pain, and after a few years, the bones were severely deformed and the bones were brittle and easily broken. Even with a cough, the disease
Can cause fractures.
Itai-Itai disease has been popular in the local area for more than 20 years, causing more than 200 deaths. The cause of this strange disease is that cadmium-containing wastewater discharged from zinc and lead smelters on the riverbanks polluted the water body, causing the rice to contain cadmium, which is found in large amounts in the human body.
Accumulate.
"Teacher, I understand..." Gretel turned to Elder Erwin, his eyes bright:
"In addition to lead, there is another culprit that causes villagers to get strange diseases..."
Another heavy metal element...wait a minute, have magicians discovered the element cadmium in this world?
Grete recalled quickly. Thanks to the Lord of Thunder, he forced him to read new journals every week and was able to catch up with the latest academic progress. Cadmium element...
Silvery white metal, atomic number 48, melting point 3℃, boiling point 765℃, density 8.65g/m3...
Got it!
Just this year, a magician named Stroh discovered this metallic element. This paper was published in the "Ordinary Magician's Monthly" three months ago!
Thanks to the magicians for their tireless exploration. If he determines that it is this disease and then has to start by refining the elements to verify it, it will really give him a headache, heartache, and pain everywhere just thinking about it.
"Teacher, in addition to lead poisoning, these villagers are also poisoned by cadmium. Well, cadmium is..."
With a wave of his hand, silent phantoms appeared in large areas, outlining the papers in previous journals. Elder Erwin stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes:
"Um……"
His lips moved silently, and he read silently line by line carefully. The paper not only listed the discovery process of cadmium element, its various properties, but also listed the testing methods. In addition to chemical methods, there are also magical methods:
After taking pictures with the identification technique, what signs should be seen to determine the presence of cadmium...
Elder Erwin read it carefully and tried to memorize it silently. Two heads popped out from one side, one on the left and one on the right:
The silver dragon girl's eyes shone slightly, and she looked extremely focused and immersed;
Apa's nose twitched, and he chewed in his mouth. His eyes were fixed on the light screen, motionless. Gretel glanced at it, speechless:
Appa, you are illiterate! Why are you reading this paper? Do you understand it? Wait, you don’t want to eat it!
For the sake of his own thesis, Gretel opened his five fingers, pressed them on the forehead of the Silver Moon Deer, and pushed it down hard. The monster understood what it meant, knelt down on all fours, and let Gretel climb onto the deer's back. Gretel held the antlers.
, crane your neck and look into the distance:
How many people are there in this mine?
There is a workshop next to the mine. How many people are there in the workshop?
There is a high probability that these people have varying degrees of lead and cadmium poisoning, and they all need to be washed with the [Detoxification Technique]. Is the number of spells cast in one day enough?
How to remedy the organic damage caused by lead and cadmium poisoning? For example, osteoporosis, etc., how to treat it with treatment?
While I was thinking quickly, I heard footsteps approaching from a distance on the other side of the hillside. Before anyone arrived, the sound came first:
"who?"
Gretel followed the sound and saw that the person coming had already turned out of the mountain road and came quickly. When he saw the four people in front of him, especially the giant silver deer, his momentum immediately dropped by half:
"Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, what do you call me? Why do you come to this mine?"
As he spoke, he raised one foot higher and lowered the other, and quickly approached. Every time he took a step closer, the smile on his face became bigger. When he walked in front of everyone, his face was already full of smiles.
Grete observed calmly, he was strong and strong, and his leather armor was bulging with chest muscles. Even though he was walking on the bumpy mountain road, he still walked briskly. From that look, he should be a level 3 to level 4 warrior?
Well, it must not exceed level 5. If the knight takes this path, it will be much smoother and faster...
The person who came had a thick leather whip wrapped around his waist. It was brown and red and shiny. It looked like he had whipped many people with it. Is this the manager of the mine? Grete suddenly felt a little unhappy and added a [Feather Luo] to himself.
Technique], falling lightly:
"I am Gretel Nordmark, a level 6 mage. I was entrusted by Lord Joan to come here to investigate the strange diseases in the villagers. This is my teacher, and these two are my companions."
Apa snorted in dissatisfaction. Gretel laughed and patted the Silver Moon Deer on the ribs:
"Okay, okay, Appa is also our companion..."
The visitor's whole body was shocked, and his expression became more and more humble. Gretel glanced at him, not wanting to speak, but Elder Erwin looked away from the paper and took advantage of the situation to ask:
"How many people are there in your mine? Are they all villagers below?"
"Master Priest, our mine is small, with only about a hundred people." The visitor glanced at the mage badge on Gretel's chest, then looked at Elder Erwin, with a smile on his face and a fluent response.
:
"Most of them are villagers below, and some are hired from outside. These villagers can't make much money from farming all year round. Working here, they can earn two silver coins a month, which can be used for two meals. They all rob
Come on!"
Gretel knew this was true. Farmers grow and eat by themselves all year round. If they get lucky, they can fill their stomachs, but they really can't make much money. If there is an opportunity to work, especially at home, they will indeed do it.
Rushed to go.
Two silver coins per month for two meals is not too little. For reference, Gretel himself said that when he first time traveled through time, as a new recruit of the city guard, his monthly salary was five silver coins...
"Where is that workshop? Does it belong to you? How many people are there? Are they all villagers?"
"I'm not in charge of the workshop. The master found someone else to build it. There are only a few dozen people in it... There aren't many villagers. These poor guys can't do the work in the workshop. They're all hired from outside.
, especially large-scale engineering, how can you find it in the mountains!"
"How many people have joint and bone pain?"
After asking this question, the smile on the steward's face immediately froze.
He quickly turned his head and looked at the mine, looked at the miners who climbed out of the hole carrying ore on their backs and stopped nearby, looked at their faces stained with black dust and their stooped backs, and waved his hands in a low voice:
"Um, distinguished guest, let's go down below to talk? This place is dirty and messy. If you let your distinguished guest stand here and talk, the city lord will have to beat me up if he finds out..."
Elder Erwin followed him down without comment. The house where the steward lived was on the edge of the creek, a little away from the site where the ore was washed. Everyone sat down, and Elder Erwin looked around at the layout of the room and urged the steward.
:
"Tell me, how many people here have that strange disease where their joints and bones hurt all the time?"
"It...it depends on what you said, sir." The steward said with a smile on his face.
"After doing such hard work, crawling around in the mines, and carrying the ore down the mountain, it's hard not to feel pain. It's all tiring. It's all tiring. Just take a night's rest and you'll be fine."
Gretel had been silently observing from the side. He watched him wagging his lips and tongue, watching his gestures flying, watching him show humility and respect to his group, and his contempt for the miners. He suddenly spoke:
"That kind of pain is not from tiredness, but from poisoning. By the way, you are also poisoned."
"What?"
The steward's expression suddenly changed. He raised his hands to touch his arms and then his chest. He caught a glimpse of a beautiful girl opposite and quickly put them down:
"Well, Master Mage, you can't say this casually...I, I'm poisoned? Where was I poisoned? Who here could poison me?"
Grete silently took out a mirror and handed it to him. The steward's hands trembled and he subconsciously took a step back, not daring to take it at all:
Mirror! This is a mirror! Such a bright and clear mirror, palm-sized, he has seen it in a jewelry store in the city, at least five or six gold coins per side!
It’s worth several months of his salary!
"I'm just taking a picture for you." Gretel frowned slightly, a little impatiently:
"Forget it, I'll put it on the table. You can take a look at it yourself. There are yellow rings on your front teeth. Do you see them? There are blue-purple lines on the gums against the teeth. Do you see them?"
The steward tremblingly bent over to look. He looked left, right, up and down, and his face became paler as he looked:
"Here, who gave me the poison? Is it the miners? Or the people in the government? It must be the people in the government! In order to steal my position, they want to kill me!"
"Shut up!" Gretel raised his voice:
"It's not that someone poisoned you! It's you who opened mines here, washed the ore, and opened workshops. The poisonous things in the ore flow into the water. You drink the water here, eat the vegetables that grow here, and eat the fish and shrimp in the water here."
!”
He waved his hand outward vigorously:
"If you don't believe me, go and take a look. The miners and villagers will have the same marks on their teeth!"
Of course, these villagers have poor oral hygiene, and their teeth are widely yellowed and blackened. Whether cadmium rings and lead wires can be seen is another matter.
The steward's face was pale and trembling. He bowed deeply to Gretel and ran out suddenly. Not long after, his shouting was heard outside:
"You! Open your mouth! Let me see your teeth! You! You! You! Move quickly, why are you so stupid!"
In the room, Gretel and the other four looked at each other in silence. Elder Erwin's face was as dark as water, Bernard's face was stern, and Cerela's cheeks were red with anger. Gretel activated the water-generating technique and poured a glass for each of them.
Shui said slowly:
"Let him gather the people together later. We won't treat him until we finish treating the miners."
Let him bully the miners! Humph!
