Chapter 984 Entering Science
"I will prove it to you today!" Li Mu said, and waved his hand. Li Tai came in with a box. When everyone saw Li Tai, they quickly saluted, but Li Tai did not return the gift. All his spirit was placed on the box in his hand. It was not that he had no courtesy, but Li Mu told him that the box was worth 100,000 yuan. Although Li Tai was the prince's prince, he could not afford to pay so much money.
He carefully placed the exquisite wooden box on the table, and all the famous doctors saw that the lid of the rosewood box was also engraved with a line of atmospheric official script "microscope".
Wang Tongcun had been looking at the most realistically, and he said nonsensely: "Microscope?"
"What does this mean?"
"Is it difficult to understand to make tiny objects appear?" Li Mu said angrily. Wang Tong did not dare to take the blame. Li Mu took the box and continued, "This thing is worth 100,000 yuan..." As he said that, he pointed to the top and said, "It is not an exaggeration to say that it is something from heaven. Such objects should not have appeared in the mortal world. It is difficult to obtain and is extremely difficult to copy!
Everyone had heard that Li Mu was the "exiled immortal" in the heaven and earth. He was so sarcastic that everyone didn't realize it was different. Instead, it seemed to confirm what was in his heart and suddenly realized it.
Seeing that they were like this, Li Mu did not explain and continued, "What is the microscope...? Do you understand microorganisms... microorganisms, can you understand it?"
Everyone nodded and floated, which was involved in many classics. In medical skills, floated often refers to small and inaccurate things.
"It's a creature that is invisible to the naked eye." Li Mu gave a definition and said: "I call it a microorganism. The reason why people get sick is mostly caused by these invisible gadgets."
As he said that, he said seriously: "According to my research, this big belly disease is caused by microorganisms."
Wang Tong didn't want to argue with Li Mu, but as a doctor, he really couldn't listen to an outsider talking big, and couldn't help but say, "Marty, this is all your guess..."
"It's not a guess!" Li Mu took another move. Someone brought a plate, and there was a lump of feces on it. Li Mu subconsciously took a step back, but the doctors did not. As early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a diagnosis and treatment method to diagnose the condition by observing feces. They knew that Li Mu had someone bring feces to bring feces must be something that was tricky.
Li Mu found a pair of long chopsticks, flipped through the feces, and pointed and said, "Look carefully, are there insects in this feces?"
The adults of Schistosoma schistosome are between twelve and twenty millimeters, and it is not difficult to find them. In fact, experienced doctors like Wang Tong had long seen Schistosoma schistosome in their previous practice. But where this thing came from and how it grew up is a mystery for the ages. Due to the times, they would never have thought that this was related to microorganisms.
"Marty, we have seen this bug, but how can you be sure that this bug is what you mentioned as a microorganism?" Wang Tong vaguely felt that Li Mu might be right, but his family's medical skills did not mention any examples of the disease caused by "microorganisms". He was difficult to accept for a moment, but out of curiosity, he couldn't help asking.
Wang Tong's question happened to be a little bit. Otherwise, Li Mu would say it alone, it would be a bit boring. It's like talking about crosstalk, and you have to have a supporting actor.
"My microscope is a treasure that allows you to see larvae? If you don't have such ability, how can it be worth 100,000 yuan?" Li Mu gently stroked the sandalwood box and asked with a smile.
"If the Marquis can let me see the larvae with my own eyes, we will believe it." Wang Tong was also happy, he was a little impatient.
"Not bad." The others also nodded and said, "As long as we can see, we will be convinced. The Marquis said that we will do whatever we want, and we will do whatever we want."
"Haha, there is no need for this." Li Mu had finished digging the pit and waved his hand, thinking that it was really not human to fool people, it was too verbal: "In this way, let's make a bet. If I can let you see the unprecedented microbial eggs, it proves that I'm true... You don't have to lose to me. After this epidemic, you will arrange shifts, take turns to treat patients in this hospital, study medical skills together, and write books to spread them to future generations."
"That..." Everyone was hesitant, and took turns to take the medical treatment. Secondly, it was just that most people were reluctant to do so. In this era, most people lived a life of treasures of their own shoes. If anyone had a secret method or a good recipe for curing diseases, it could be passed on and supported a family for generations. If the secret method was passed on to the future generations, wouldn't it mean that everyone could learn the secret method of my family? If so, what would my descendants eat and drink?
Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Li Mu frowned: "Everyone, I am a polite person to persuade you, and you all know how to be polite."
The voice became colder, and everyone felt a cool breeze blowing behind their necks. They woke up. Li Mu was not discussing with them, this was an order. Unless they were desperate, or they asked Li Shimin to support him, who could resist Luoyang Marquis in the territory of Jiangnan?
Wang Tong was as quick as possible and immediately said loyally: "The villain is willing to stand up first and agree with the Marquis's pioneering efforts. The Marquis wrote a book and said that he will definitely be a role model for all generations. We have the opportunity to add icing on the cake, which is really honorable!"
Everyone also reacted, nodded repeatedly, and said, "I am honored to be proud of myself, and I am honored to be proud of myself!"
Li Tai was secretly excited when he heard this, saying that his master did everything in a good way, and there was nothing in this world that he didn't understand!
Wang Tong and others also figured it out. Although it seemed to be somewhat compulsive, in fact, they didn't make anything. If you contributed a secret recipe, others also contributed a secret recipe and took it out, it means that everyone's secret recipes have all known each other and are even. What's more, Li Mu knew Doctor Sun and his apprentice Liu Shenwei. He didn't want any good recipes, and he might not be able to see the things in his hands.
And if what Li Mu said is true, they will stay and study this brand new microbial world.
Although they have previously grasped the symptoms by looking, listening, asking and touching, and can also cure most diseases. However, they can cure diseases but have never understood the real cause. It is a very strange thing to rely solely on thinking and guessing.
The most real thing is to see the ears and hear it. Being able to see the cause of the disease with your own eyes is the dream of every doctor.
"Okay, let's make up for it." Li Mu nodded and opened the box happily.
The doctors saw that in the wooden box lined with velvet, a strange brass instrument stood quietly, looking like a lampstand.
"What is this?" Everyone came up and looked at the exquisite instrument curiously.
I saw it was more than one foot high, with a copper column cast on the circular base, a square anvil on it, and a small round mirror under the anvil. A cylinder that can adjust the height is hung on the anvil.
Yes, this is the microscope produced by Li Mu, and the system is produced without any accuracy error.
The structure of this microscope is very similar to that of the optical microscope used by later middle school students in experiments. It is nothing more than that there is no rotating light bar and objective lens converter.
For Li Mu, who has reached the advanced level of mechanism, there is no technical difficulty, it is nothing more than thinking about whether it is appropriate to take it out.
In the end, he decided to take it out. After all, the technology involved in this thing will not be seen in a short period of time. It is nothing more than the popularization of "glasses" earlier, and the military one is just a telescope.
Li Mu caressed the cylinder that could stretch and length and length and said, "This thing can be seen in a microscopic manner, which is the most magical one."
"It is called a microscope, which is derived from the meaning of "the body and use are one source, and the microscope is inseparable."
Chinese culture only emphasizes a "source". After hearing what Li Mu said, everyone looked at the microscope with a little more attention.
"As I said just now, not every snail has worm egg parasites. In order to save time, I first prepared a batch of slices and selected a few with larvae."
Then he picked up a thin piece of glass, carefully placed it on the stage, put his eyes on the objective lens, and said while adjusting the focus: "You can see how it looks first. You can turn around and make slices with snails, and you will soon find the larvae... Of course, you must take good protection, otherwise you will be infected."
"Yeah." Everyone nodded. After hearing Li Mu's serious statement, they actually believed it. They wanted to see microorganisms now, but they didn't want to care about anything else.
"Look." Li Mu adjusted the burnt and let it aside.
Everyone gave in a little while, but in the end, Wang Tong came forward first.
Wang Tong followed Li Mu's appearance, put one eye on the eyepiece, and widened his eyes.
I saw a few pear-shaped and symmetrical in the left and right liquid, covered with ciliated worms, wandering slowly.
"This, is this the tempting insect? It's so creepy!" Wang Tong got goose bumps. The insects he had seen were not so terrifying. They looked too ugly, not like things in the world.
"Not bad." Li Mu nodded and said, "This is what it looks like after it is magnified by 300 times." As he said that, he pointed to the eyepiece and objective of the microscope and introduced, "This is called an eyepiece, which can be magnified by ten times, and this is called an objective lens, which can be magnified by thirty times. The two are superimposed to enlarge the appearance of this larvae by 300 times!"
The larvae of Schistosoma iacus is between thirty and eighty microns, and it will be magnified by 300 times, and it will be one to two centimeters in size!
Not only can you see it, but you can also clearly see its evil appearance.
"Let me see, let me see!" The doctors couldn't help but take turns to watch, just like a child who got a new toy, who couldn't put it down and could not move to death.
Sure enough, no one can resist the temptation brought by the word "curiosity".
...
All the people present were doctors. Although they had never been exposed to microscopes, they learned very quickly.
After hearing Li Mu introduce the method of slice preparation, Wang Tong can use a special knife to cut the snail into slices as thin as a cicada wing, place it firmly on the slide, and then cover it with a precious coverslip.
It's like an old dog doing experiments for many years.
Not long after, all the only thirty carrier plates were used up. In order to ensure coverage and accuracy as much as possible, the thirty slices came from five different screws.
The result was good luck, and there were all three of them that were found such evil schistosomiae.
After personally experimenting, I finally convinced the doctors that there were indeed parasites in the snails.
How to determine that this larvae is the disease-causing schistosomiasis?
The solution is very simple, that is, let these larvae grow. When they grow up to mature body, they will understand everything when compared with the adults in the feces.
Traditional Chinese medicine has been moving from a mysterious and vague area to a clear and clear scientific exploration for the first time in history. This is an epoch-making significance. Li Mu couldn't help but think that perhaps because of this step, those trolls who say that traditional Chinese medicine is useless on the Internet more than a thousand years later can more or less restrain themselves.
But it is not necessarily true that trolls can always find wonderful angles and turn on their own watering can. This is a unique skill that ordinary people cannot learn.
After seeing the nauseating larvae, the doctors were still unsatisfied and asked what were the ubiquitous "little poles" and "little curls" in Li Mu's microscope.
Fortunately, Li Mu didn't completely forget the biological knowledge he had learned. After thinking about it, he said, "I call these bacteria."
"Bacteria?" is another word I haven't heard before. Wang Tong opened his big eyes full of curiosity, "Is it also a kind of microorganism?"
"Not bad." Li Mu nodded.
"So can this... bacteria cause disease?"
"Well..." It's a bit beyond the scope. Li Mu's original intention and knowledge want them to believe in their epidemic prevention measures, but he didn't want to open a biology cram school. He also wanted them to study it by themselves, but he had no interest in studying biology.
Li Mu sighed and said, "Bacteria, like animals and plants, are also a kind of organisms. They are everywhere and have a variety of species... But in terms of shape, the 'little sticks' you see are various bacilli, and the 'little curls' are various spiral bacteria. In addition, there are various 'cocci'."
"Bacteria are so invisible, but they are everywhere. For example, in wine making, there are bacteria in wine koji. There is also a kind of help of bacteria, so the noodles can only be produced. This is the good side of bacteria and there are many bad places. Food rot is caused by bacteria, and the suppuration of wounds is also caused by bacteria. Most plagues are affected by bacteria, so they cannot be generalized."
Wang Tong and others became more and more confused when they heard it. Finally, Wang Tong couldn't help asking a question that everyone was curious about: "Mr. Marquis, please forgive me for the courage of the villain. How did you know these? You have invented a microscope and devoted yourself to researching them for many years?"
As soon as he said that, Wang Tong felt stupid. Li Mu was only nineteen years old this year. How many years can he study it from the womb?
Li Mu sighed. He had thought that someone would ask this. But it didn't matter. He had already thought of a solution. He looked up at the sky and sighed quietly: "This is all obtained from my practice in tens of thousands of years before I came to earth. The secrets of heaven should not be revealed. If you want to know about it..." Li Mu patted the microscope and said, "Learn from my own research."
