Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 152: The solution and cause of the problem

"Okay, we should purify this water source next. I need your help in this process." After watching those guys being escorted into a black carriage without any windows, High Priest Arthur patted Lawrence. The shoulder said, and at the same time he handed him a large bottle filled with a slightly whitish liquid.

"When I call down for a while, you pour all the holy water in this bottle into the water in the water tank, understand?" Seeing Lawrence took the bottle and nodded earnestly, High Priest Arthur walked directly over. In the magic circle glowing with blue light that I had just drawn, then the purification ritual began.

With the singing of the spell, blue rays of light rushed to the water tank like a wave. In Lawrence's magical vision, a trace of dark green smoke floated from the surface of the water, and then disappeared after neutralizing with the blue light.

"It's now." When the magic power in the space above the water tower was raised to a certain level, the high priest Arthur screamed to Lawrence. After hearing this shout, he stood on the iron flyover above the water tower reservoir. Lawrence immediately opened the stopper of the bottle in his hand and poured the liquid inside into the pitcher below.

In an instant, a light like the noon sun burst out of the water suddenly, forcing Lawrence to narrow his eyes. After the ray of light ended, he was surprised to find that the water in the water storage tank below started to flash with a faint white light.

"Success." Looking at the faint white water in the pitcher in front of him, High Priest Arthur let out a sigh. "The sacred power remaining in the water can help disinfect the pipeline, and this source of infection will no longer spread disease."

"This is simply-too ​​powerful." After taking some samples and observing, Lawrence had to admit that in this extraordinary world, extraordinary powers can do many things, even if the advanced technology in the world of his previous life could not do it. To the thing.

For example, like the disinfection of this water tower, if it is necessary to drain the water in the previous life and perform large-scale disinfection, it is impossible to do it without tossing for several hours. It's not like it is now that after a purification ritual in less than half an hour can completely remove the typhoid bacilli in the water.

Not to mention that after the ceremony, the water with sacred power can also disinfect the pipe while it flows down the pipe. It can be seen that extraordinary power is indeed an important productivity in this world.

It is a pity that the mastery of extraordinary power requires talent, and there is no way to be as popular as the power of technology. Therefore, in order to increase the overall power of the civilized world, the development of science and technology is still essential.

When Lawrence and the others returned to St. Gutenberg’s Cathedral, they learned from others that the operation was very successful. Almost all church members and the federal government were suddenly attacked, except for a master priest. Apart from severely wounded jumping into the sea and fleeing, the other members of the highly poisonous and diseased church lurking in Eagle Fort can be regarded as annihilated.

"This time the other party's attack is related to you." When everyone went to the cafeteria to eat that late lunch, Priest Carter, who was sitting across from Lawrence, looked at Lawrence and said seriously, "To be more precise, and Your paper on the theory of microbial treatment is related."

"What happened to that paper?" Lawrence was puzzled. "I just mentioned in the paper that many diseases are caused by some invisible microorganisms. Then at the end of the paper, I advocated that everyone should refuse to eat raw food and drink raw water. Once injured, pay attention to clean the wound."

"Yeah! It sounds simple." Priest Carter shrugged. "But after we taught the students and the workers who came to the literacy class in the charity school, we found that after following this simple method, the probability of common gastrointestinal diseases and wound infections suddenly became 1/50 of the original."

"Is it so effective?" Lawrence's eyes widened. He had never thought that this simple approach would have such an immediate effect. But soon a smile appeared on his face. "If this is the case, it would be great. It will definitely save a lot of lives..."

"You're right, Lawrence." Priest Carter also gave a smile, but he quickly said with a serious face, "Do you know that the method you proposed is simple to operate, but it works extremely well? The method of big effect."

"Of course you know, isn't it good?" Seeing Carter said this question with a serious face, Lawrence looked at him with a little puzzled. "Many things are more complicated to operate, the more difficult it is to spread. Isn't this simple and effective method the best way?"

"Yes, this is the best for most people, because it can save lives." Priest Carter shrugged. "But it's not like that for members of the Toxic and Illness Church."

"After your rapid spread of this method, the disease, one of the two supporting points of the Toxic and Disease Church, was greatly suppressed, and it was still the most important supporting point."

"In this way, the Toxic and Disease Church naturally hopes to create a large-scale plague as a counterattack, which will cause a large number of patients and dead. Only in this way can they restore the lost faith."

"You said that disease is their most important support?" Lawrence asked a little puzzled. "They are called the Church of Toxic and Disease. The juxtaposition of Toxic and Disease does not mean that the two supporting points of this church are balanced?"

"No, that's not the case. Toxic and disease actually refer to two aspects of this church." Priest Carter shook his head. "This church is good at two things. One is to kill some wealthy people and scare off the legal heirs through various poisons, and to get a lot of wealth. The other is to use ordinary people's fear of unknown diseases to intimidate To gain faith and extract wealth."

"That is to say, poison can provide financial resources for that church, and disease can provide faith for that church. And your approach is equivalent to greatly weakening the source of faith for the church with poison and disease."

"No wonder you told me when I was about to publish the paper, this paper is very likely to make me be targeted by the church of toxic and disease." As Lawrence who grew up in the church, he naturally knows that the source of faith for the church is against the church. Say what it means.

"But you don't have to worry~lightnovelpub.net~ Priest Carter patted Lawrence on the shoulder to cheer him up. "The extraordinary will inevitably offend such and such forces when they grow up, even though they are like you. There are not many people who have a true church of gods, but the church of gods like our church is also your strong backing. "

"What's more, the poisonous and diseased churches in the civilized world have always been like thieves in the shadows. Most of the places can only be underground, and because other churches and most countries have attacked them not many people. So you don’t need to worry too much about them."

"It would be fine if this is the case." Lawrence was really worried about being targeted by an evil church and being chased by them. Now after listening to Priest Carter's words, he felt that his heart was relieved all at once.

After eating this lunch, which was several hours late, several church members and extraordinary people from the federal government discussed what to do next at St. Gutenberg Cathedral.

Although the extraordinary threat in this incident has been resolved, the prevalence of typhoid fever is real. What's bad is that the local supernatural power is not enough to treat all patients, so everyone must find a way to solve the current problem. Lawrence, as a medical expert, naturally also participated in this discussion.
