Chapter 2396: Cowpox

Qiao An felt his ears feel hot, and awkwardly avoided the instructor's sight.
Professor Moriarty smiled at him, and then said: "After the report was published, people regarded me as a great savior against the smallpox virus, which put me under a lot of pressure and had to continue research in this field, but unfortunately I have not made a breakthrough. ."
"When I was in trouble, a special reader wrote to me, saying that after reading the report of the investigation team, he was reminded of the milkmaid on the cattle farm in his hometown. He often got a smallpox-like but mild illness on his hands. Pustules are locally called'vaccinia', and female workers who have suffered from vaccinia generally do not get smallpox."
"This enthusiastic reader felt that the phenomenon he observed might be inspiring for my work, and sent me this letter specifically, suggesting that I have a deep research on the correlation between the two viruses'vaccinia' and'smallpox' , Maybe there are plenty of articles to write about."
"A letter from a layman said a country rumor, do you believe it?" Rebecca couldn't help but laugh.
Professor Moriarty shrugged and said solemnly: "I don't know if that person is considered a layman in the field of virus prevention, but this person can ignore the previous suspicions and take the time to write to me in his busy schedule. For me, I am flattered and I can't ignore it."
Qiao An heard the mentor's implication and asked curiously: "Who is that person, is he famous?"
Professor Moriarty took a deep breath of the pipe, and then slowly spit out a string of smoke rings.
"That man's reputation is not small, his name is Roland Collas."
Joan and Rebecca looked at each other in shock.
Roland Colas, the regent of the Far East, is undoubtedly the most well-known public figure of this era, and even New World has his admirers.
Especially in the summer of 1625, under the leadership of His Royal Highness Roland, the Far Easterners miraculously defeated the empire's counterinsurgency army on the battlefield with fewer victories and more, and his eyes were about to counterattack the empire's homeland. His reputation was even stronger.
Such a world-renowned figure actually took the initiative to send an autograph letter to Professor Moriarty on the other side of the ocean, not to mention the content of the letter, this incident itself has great symbolic significance.
Professor Moriarty had a brief contact with His Royal Highness Roland before the founding of the Far East. At that time, the two sides were still in a hostile camp. In addition to expressing that the letter from His Royal Highness did not consider the previous suspicions, it also showed a high degree of concern for the development of smallpox vaccine, Mr. Of course the suggestions he put forward in the letter must be taken seriously.
"His Royal Highness Roland is the elect of another goddess of destiny. The Sindra he admires is twin sisters to our lord Moss. Although the teachings of the two goddesses are not the same, the relationship between the two believers is still friendly. Be worthy of brothers and sisters."
From theological point of view, Rebecca made bold speculations about the letter from His Royal Highness Roland.
"Mr. Professor, I suspect that His Royal Highness Roland got some kind of revelation from Goddess Syndra, and writing this letter to you is also guided by the divine will."
Professor Moriarty dangling his pipe and gestured to the female pastor to continue explaining her views.
"Dairy cows and smallpox patients, cowpox and smallpox, these images have no logical connection at first glance, but as a metaphor of divine enlightenment, it is obvious. The job of the professor is to establish these abstract connections and find the cure for smallpox. key."
Qiao Ann was confused.
Rebecca’s remarks are clearly
returning to the result
. Regardless of the illogicalness of the Far East Regency’s suggestion, first set the opponent’s suggestion as an absolutely correct premise, and then look for phenomena and evidence that meet this premise. .
It's like shooting an arrow at the wall and then drawing a target around the arrow, claiming that you hit the bullseye with one arrow-is this reasonable?
Professor Moriarty did not refute Rebecca's way of thinking for the first time. He took a few puffs before thinking about it.
"In other words, cowpox must conceal the secret of curing smallpox. If I can't find it in the end, it can only mean that I am too stupid to understand the implication of His Royal Highness Roland, or the revelation of the goddess of destiny?"
Rebecca nodded solemnly.
"In this way, it won't be the position first, but because of... not so good?" Qiao An couldn't help but complain.
The pastor's lady's eyes rolled without suspense.
"I am the pastor of the'Queen of Cause and Effect'. No one understands the law of cause and effect better than me!"
Qiao Ann shrugged and spread his hands, wittyly giving up arguing with "Miss God Stick".
In any case, in this world of divine power and miracles, the views of priests should be respected.
Scientific research experiment is a process of continuous trial and error. In addition to step-by-step logical reasoning, occasionally it also requires a flash of unconstrained insight. Too much adherence to rational logic will make thinking become mechanically rigid. Isn't this a kind of prejudice?
Since Qiao An recognizes spontaneous "inspiration", it is impossible to deny that others may also obtain "spiritual enlightenment."
Facts have proved that such an open attitude is necessary.
After visiting the cattle farm, Qiao An first sent Rebecca back to the hermitage manor, and sent it back even without having to eat dinner to assist the instructor in the virus antibody experiment.
For the next two weeks, Qiao An stayed on the ranch, busy from morning to night.
Rebecca is very interested in the work of Professor Joan and Professor Moriarty, and often comes to the ranch to help. Her magic and medical knowledge are very useful for this research, and it can also enable the dying slave experiment after smallpox infection. The body recovers, virtually helping Qiao An alleviate the guilt of participating in human experiments.
Professor Moriarty doesn't care about the life or death of the experimenter, but Rebecca can save the dying slave to life, which is equivalent to saving him the cost of the experiment. Of course he can't ask for it.
Rebecca always engages in unannounced inspections. In the end, Qiao Ann was unable to accompany his tutor to the "Happy Palace" nightclub to enjoy the wonderful performance of the "Beast Girl Striptease". After finishing work every day, the only pastime is to bring the shepherd dog. Walking on the meadow, like a cowboy.
The hard work of the teachers and students is not in vain. A series of experimental results have proved that the virus that infects cows with vaccinia is very similar to the virus that infects humans with smallpox, and it is indeed true that the vaccinia extract is inoculated into healthy humans after attenuation. Can play a miraculous effect of preventing smallpox, and it is safer and more reliable than vaccination of "human pox"!
In the blink of an eye, the experiment of the new smallpox vaccine came to an end. The next stage of work arranged by Professor Moriarty for Qiao An was to sort out the experimental data and write the first draft of the paper. His own work focused on the hot spring baths and nightclub.
"This is also a job requirement, my dear student! Everyone is dedicated to the cause of scientific research, regardless of the type of work, no matter how high or low, they are nothing more than working different battlefields. Good luck!"
