Queen and Her Duke

Chapter 26

After spending an entire afternoon in the shipyard, Wen Lin carefully observed almost every shipbuilding process.

From material selection to oil tankers and more than ten processes, the overall manufacturing process is not much different from that of Huaguo, but a clear gap can be seen in the specific operation. Huaguo's manufacturing process is obviously more sophisticated and complex.

At first Wen Lin kept her mouth shut, the manager thought she didn't understand anything, just came to see it out of sheer curiosity.

But when she saw the complete hull model, Wen Lin suddenly said,

"Gentlemen, please forgive my rashness, why not add a jib brace to the top of the sail and the bottom of the mast instead of a jib? This unbalanced jib is obviously simpler and saves manpower,"

Immediately, the movements of the shipbuilders stopped. They looked at Wen Lin with strange eyes and discussed in a low voice for a while.

"Beautiful lady, we all have craftsmanship that our ancestors have passed down for decades, and we have never heard of the sling sails you mentioned,"

"Maybe you can give it a try, maybe there will be unexpected gains?"

Wen Lin's attitude was always appropriate, but her non-arguing advice made the boat builders reflect.

When Wen Lin slowly went to visit other processes, they had a serious discussion.

The steward who followed him was taken aback by Wen Lin's words. Just a month ago, the most powerful shipbuilder in the shipyard, Luo Duo, told him about making the sails easier and more flexible.

His thoughts coincided with what Wen Lin said.

In an instant, the steward looked at Wen Lin with a different look, and suddenly remembered the famous Oriental guest in the capital during this time, and the fact that Wen Lin was traveling with Her Excellency Humphreys, the steward immediately thought about it,

"Miss Wen Lin, you seem to have other ideas about our shipbuilding craftsmanship?"

This shipyard is the property of the new noble Count Eggers. The steward is undoubtedly Protestant, and his attitude towards women is more rational and tolerant than the people who believe in catholicism.

In particular, Wen Lin got closer to the close officials of the royal family, and her stewardship became more and more sincere.

A dark light flashed in the bottom of her eyes, and Wen Lin nodded slightly to the steward with a faint smile.

From beginning to end, her attitude is gentle but not close. With the blessings of the two halos of "Oriental" and "Wang Ting", it is easy to make people feel good but not scornful.

After visiting the whole shipyard, Wen Lin had to admit that the geographical location, ready-made equipment, and experienced shipbuilders were all tempting her to go crazy.

Isn't this the initial shipyard she envisioned?

It's a pity that Wen Lin knows very well that if she wants to have it, she can only make plans slowly and wait for opportunities. Of course, money is an essential prerequisite.

But at least she can leave a deep impression on the shipyard stewards and shipbuilders now, so that even if she has no chance to buy this ready-made shipyard, she can have a reliable way to find excellent shipbuilders when she opens a shipyard. .

Wen Lin picked out some details that can be significantly improved, such as changing the traditional curved shape of the bow and installing a rudder at the stern...

The whole process was eloquent, without any intention of concealment, and in the eyes of the steward, it seemed to be a generous and generous demeanor.

The steward can't hide his gradually surging mood. If he can really take the lead in building a faster and more flexible ship, he will no longer have to worry about the business of the shipyard.

In fact, Wen Lin did not have any reservations. During the visit, she had a rough guess about the craftsmanship of the shipyard and the profitable space.

The details just mentioned, according to the current level of craftsmanship, even if Wen Lin doesn't say it, maybe someone will come up with it in the next few years.

In particular, Wen Lin kept a cautious eye. It would be best if the owner of the boathouse took the initiative to find her.

Before leaving, Wen Lin suddenly thought of Rhododendron, and she casually mentioned,

"I heard from Lord Humphreys that his friend Rodot was a very good shipbuilder,"

"Yes, miss," the steward affirmed without hesitation, but his bitter expression seemed to have something to hide.

"Mr. Steward, can you tell me what happened?"

Shaking his head uncontrollably, the steward's tone was both regretful and somewhat fearful,

"Some time ago, the villagers in Yinhe Village, the village where Rhododide lived, contracted a strange infectious disease. Now no one dares to approach there. The church sent people to guard them, and no one is allowed to come out."

infectious disease? Wen Lin instantly became vigilant. According to the medical methods of this era, if a serious infectious disease really broke out, it would be an unimaginably terrible disaster.

The Black Death, which ravaged Europe for two centuries, was recorded in the documents of 21c, claiming almost two-thirds of Europe's population, not counting other diseases such as leprosy, cholera, and measles.

Thinking of this, Wen Lin couldn't help tingling her scalp.

Wen Lin hurriedly bid farewell to the steward after asking about the location of the village where Luo Duo was located.

No matter what, Wen Lin decided to take a look.

After all, she has received various vaccines, and her physique is far stronger than ordinary people. Many incurable diseases in this era are useless to Wen Lin. prepare for.

As soon as she got into the carriage, Wen Lin told the driver to go to Yinhe Village.

Unexpectedly, it was strongly opposed by the driver.

"Ms. Wen Lin, that's a village favored by the **** of death. Once you go in, you won't be able to come out."

After pondering for a while, Wen Lin insisted, "Let's go back to the city first, then you can leave the carriage to me, and I'll have a look myself."

In this era, even a fever may kill you. In the absence of any modern medical knowledge and medical methods

Under these circumstances, many infectious diseases have an almost 100% mortality rate.

Wen Lin completely understood the driver's panicked reaction.

She still wanted to persuade her, but Wen Lin's firm attitude was something the driver could never have imagined.

There was really nothing to do. As soon as the driver arrived at the royal city, he immediately ran back to Hanvers' mansion, wanting to report to him.

Unexpectedly, Hanvers entered the palace. After informing the housekeeper of the news, the housekeeper immediately arranged for someone to send a letter into the palace.

At the same time, Wen Lin successfully arrived at Yinhe Village before the last rays of sunlight entered the horizon.

It is said to be a village, but in fact there are only a dozen or so households. From a distance, two or three epidemic doctors in gray robes and beak masks can be seen walking around the village, while at the entrance of the village stood two rows of silver-armored knights from the church. .

Wen Lin is not surprised to see the epidemic doctor, but the silver armored knight is specially responsible for protecting the safety of the cardinal, why did he appear here?

After a long distance, Wen Lin stopped the carriage, and when she got off, she cut a piece of cloth from her robe and covered it in front of her nose, better than nothing.

After deliberating on his words, he approached, and was stopped by the silver armored knight from a distance, "Who are you, you are not allowed to approach here,"

"I am a traveling doctor. Maybe I can provide some help to the diseases in the village. Can you describe the symptoms of the patient to me?"

The light was dim, and Wen Lin was far away. When the silver armored knights heard the voice of a woman, they became impatient and urged Wen Lin to leave quickly.

Not discouraged, she saw that the epidemic doctor was about to come out from a distance, Wen Lin increased the volume, repeated it again, and added,

"I have cured leprosy, fever, gout,"

The last sentence successfully made an epidemic doctor turn around, he hesitated for a while, and replied loudly,

"The patient had intermittent chills and fever, a pattern of consciousness, vomiting and convulsions, and death began about a week after the onset of symptoms."

Preliminary judgment, a bit like symptoms of gray leather fever, Wen Lin walked forward, and when she got closer, she could smell a stench coming from her nostrils.

Looking at this small village by the light of the torches, sewage and feces are vaguely visible on the winding road not far away, and a large amount of domestic garbage is also piled up at the entrance of the village.

Deep frown, this is the first time Wen Lin has truly felt the living environment of Golan civilians.

It is narrow, messy, dirty, and has no public health awareness. It seems that there are no public sewage facilities in the village, just like a small village surrounded by garbage.

To be on the safe side, Wen Lin asked, "Sir, can I find a conscious patient, I want to ask him a few questions,"

The leading epidemic doctor nodded in agreement, and soon arranged for an assistant to find a patient.

The epidemic doctors have been here for two weeks, and they have tried bloodletting, vomiting, urine tests, and enemas, and none of the patients have shown signs of improvement.

Wen Lin who came here suddenly surprised them. Although she didn't quite believe that she had cured many difficult diseases, she did not refuse with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wen Lin asked, "Are only the people in the village infected? Did you get infected when you entered?"

"No," replied very coldly.

After seeing the patient and confirming some guesses, Wen Lin had a rough judgment.

Due to the lack of medical conditions, Wen Lin could not say for sure that it was gray leather fever, and people today do not have the concept of gray leather fever, and most infectious diseases are collectively referred to by them as diseases.

After sorting out her thoughts a little, Wen Lin listed the countermeasures one by one.

"This may be due to the excessively dirty environment and the infectious diseases transmitted by mosquito bites. The epidemic doctors have taken adequate protective measures to prevent them from being infected."

"Burn the weeds, rubbish, and feces in the village, fill up the cesspool, and hang up the gauze in the house. At the same time, you can try to smoke the house with wormwood to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes."

"The most important point is that the patient needs to supplement nutrition through sufficient food, meat and vegetables, preferably more oats and peas, etc."

As soon as Wen Lin finished speaking, a voice came to refute him,

"It is because of God's goodness and mercy that we have been given the grace of obedience,"

The epidemic doctor who stood at the back was plausible, and there was a strong sense of pride in his words.

For him, entering the ward without being infected is a very honorable thing, which reflects the protection of the Lord for him.

Seeing that the epidemic doctors were dressed up from head to toe, Wen Lin smiled and said nothing.

Grey leather fever will break out on a large scale, but fortunately, the Golan villages are far apart, and coupled with the isolation measures of the church, it is unlikely to spread.

However, there is a lack of drugs extracted and synthesized with modern technology, and there is no other way than relying on the patient's own immune system to resist.

After knowing the situation, Wen Lin didn't intend to stay any longer, she turned around and was about to leave.

Seeing this, the leading epidemic doctor suddenly said, "Your Excellency, have you been to Hitz, or have you studied Hitz's writings and medical books of their country?"

"No," Wen Lin denied neatly, and drove away without looking back.

"Wait," the leading epidemic doctor said again, trying to stop Wen Lin.

The silver armored knights who were originally lined up on both sides suddenly rushed towards Wen Lin and her four-wheeled carriage.

In the dim light, the armor on the knight's body and the spear in his hand still shone with a chilling cold light, and they surrounded Wen Lin with a chilling chill.

The author has something to say: I arranged Xiaowen's study plan today, such as "Soil-made Pesticide", "Soil-based Chemical Fertilizer", "Soil-based Cement Manufacturing Process", "Soil-based Treatment of Saline-Alkaline Land"... A series of soil..., the most most

The interesting thing is the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", I wonder if you saw your grandparents reading it when you were young, hahahaha, I was very impressed with this book when I was a child~
