"Anyone who has studied the social evolution and industrialized life of this country should understand that the arrival of the plague was one of the greatest milestones in our country's history. Let me be clear, for many years, all historians have recognized this fact: it was a turning point in our national life.
"The plague caused great damage to society, but it was the dawn of a new era."
Xue Ba's solemn voice came from the phone. Gu Jun's face tightened. Yes, that was the sentence.
That was what the figure in the protective suit said in the hallucinated laboratory.
"Our language analyst here said that Bertram Rogers said 'the arrival of the plague'. The word 'visitation' is applied to the appearance of a deity, or the descent of a calamity by a deity. Rogers Jr.'s attitude was praiseworthy. "
Gu Jun was silent. What about now? Did those people think they were God, or did they think they were carrying out the will of God?
"Those words were said by Rogers Jr. and other economists when they were debating about the plague. The other side believed that the Black Death had slowed down the development of England. Rogers Jr. inherited the theory of his father, Roald Rogers. Rogers Sr. was the representative of the economic historical school of thought at the time, "Xue Ba continued.
Not to mention that the entire world was working together, even ordinary people could quickly search for this information on the Internet because it was not a secret.
In fact, it was a mainstream theory.
Based on the established historical analysis, most theories agreed that the Black Death had a positive impact on Europe, but there were differences on how positive it was.
Roald Rogers, on the other hand, proposed many ideas that were accepted by later scholars and were still used today.
"Rogers Sr. believed that the Black Death caused a huge drop in the population of England at the time, which led to a complete revolution.
First, the Black Death destroyed serfdom and increased the freedom of the people. Due to the shortage of labor caused by the plague, the employees had the right to bargain with the employers, which increased their wages. Historical data showed that the wages had doubled or even multiplied, which led to the arrival of the 'Golden Age of Labor'. The schools had to enroll commoners to study and train them to fill the vacant positions previously occupied by the nobles. Therefore, after the plague, the situation of the people who survived actually improved. Their lives became more valuable, and a large middle class was formed, which led to the diversification of the economy.
Furthermore, because the plague also caused a large number of deaths of the clergy, the authority of the church declined, and rebellious peasants attacked the church. The 'self-flagellators' caught priests and whipped them in the streets. People no longer believed in religion, and modern scientific ideas were developed. Eastern and Western civilization moved in different directions.
Peasants also liberated prisons and occupied land. The wealth of society was redistributed, and in the process of establishing a new balance, there was a variety of competition that had never existed before. Various production technologies were developed, which led to the industrial revolution.
Once the industrial era came, the death knell sounded throughout the old world. Farmers united under the slogan.
'Do I have to be a gentleman if I want to start a new world?' "
Xue Ba added in a rough voice, "The last sentence was said by Big Rogers."
Of course, Gu Jun understood the underlying meaning. So, was it worth it for some people to die, some violence, some tears of blood and tragedy?
If only you survived, and your family survived, your wages would be tripled at once, and you would have a big house, a new class, a new life.
Will you support the arrival of the plague? "
In a trance, Gu Jun seemed to hear the old man say, "History is created by humans, by those who are extraordinary and great." Starting a war is a way to change the world, starting a plague is also a way to change the world, and you are a supernatural being …
Get out of my head! ' Gu Jun suppressed the agitation in his heart. He turned to Uncle Dan and the rest who were conducting their experiments and listened to the painful coughing.
Regardless of whether the Black Death was beneficial or not, it was not a reason to create a plague.
If this plague swept the world, the nobles would have fled to Iceland or the South Pole, and the ones who died would be the common people!
"If you wish to start a new world by reducing the population, then I have a suggestion for you." Gu Jun said, "Isn't it a good idea for all of you to commit suicide? Without you, the world will be a better place. "
Instantly, the whisper became blurry, but it was still saying, "Child, the truth belongs to those who are willing to accept it …"
"Ah Jun, there are too many scholars around the world who share this view." Xue Ba asked, "What are you trying to investigate? Do you have a clearer direction? "
Actually, Gu Jun had no idea. The Rogers father and son were historical figures. Different from Angell's Order, their theory was not a fringe theory that was suppressed, it had been accepted by the mainstream for a long time. But in private, did they have a secret society, or did they form a secret society based on their ideology …
He explained the spiritual illusion in detail. "I believe investigating the Rogers family and their students might be a good direction."
"Roger that." Xue Ba nodded. The command central would contact the England immediately and the call ended.
While Gu Jun was on the phone, Uncle Dan and the rest were conducting their drug experiment.
The so-called diffusion method was to place a layer of culture medium on top of a petri dish and then spread the bacterial solution on top of the plate. This way, the bacteria would grow on the plate. However, if an antibiotic zone was added to the culture medium beforehand, if the drug was effective, the zone would form a inhibition circle on the plate.
After the drug was done, the group placed the petri dish into the incubator and moved on to the next drug.
Due to the rapid reproduction rate of the legionella bacteria, they would know in less than half an hour whether the drug would be effective or not.
He Feng's coughing worsened. Occasionally, he would have to walk to a nearby bin to spit out the bloody phlegm.
He Feng did not think about whether it would work or not. He did not think about how it was possible. Penicillin, erythromycin, tetracycline, vancomycin … none of these antibiotics worked, but this Doctor Gu had a suitable antibiotic. He Feng didn't allow himself to sink into despair. He just kept busy, busy, and busy.
Time slowly passed and Gu Jun joined the experiment. The brainstem tumor-targeting drug and scale powder were ready at the same time.
Once again, Uncle Dan opened the incubator and placed the new petri dish inside. He took out the old one as well.
Everyone's eyes were glued to the new petri dish. Gu Jun was also studying the bacteria growth on the new petri dish.
"Ah, this, this …" Uncle Dan gasped, "Ah Jun, this …"
