In Mo Hospital.
Hua Yuan and Sun Simiao looked curiously at the strange-looking carriage in front of them. There were four horses standing side by side in front of the carriage. It was strange because the carriage in front of them had four wheels.
"Is this the ambulance you mentioned?"
Hua Yuan looked at the strange-looking carriage and turned to ask Meton.
"Yes!" Meton nodded.
Looking at the four-wheeled carriage that was the result of the painstaking efforts of all the craftsmen in the Mo Family Village, Meton felt proud. This four-wheeled carriage was not as simple as the previous curved plow or cart. There were countless technical difficulties involved.
Solving the turning problem of the four-wheeled carriage had troubled the Mo Family for a long time. Therefore, it had been delayed until now to make the four-wheeled carriage.
"Four wheels?" Sun Simiao also looked at the strange-looking carriage in confusion. It was cumbersome no matter how he looked at it.
Nowadays, two-wheeled carriages were all used in the Tang Dynasty. However, Meton, who came from the future, clearly knew that four-wheeled carriages were the best. A small part of the weight of a two-wheeled carriage was on the oxen and horses, while a four-wheeled carriage was different. The four wheels on the ground shared the weight equally. As long as the oxen and horses had enough pulling force to move the wheels, the burden on the oxen and horses was directly reduced.
With the burden on the oxen and horses reduced, the endurance of the carriage naturally increased.
"Mr. Sun, you may not know. Although a two-wheeled carriage is light, if it is too shaky, it is not good for the patient's condition. However, a four-wheeled carriage is different. It is more stable and spacious!" Meton explained while opening the back door of the four-wheeled carriage. Similar to the ambulances in the future, the ambulance designed by Meton was also driven from the back.
Meton pulled out a stretcher from the carriage and said, "It is not suitable for the patient to walk. We can directly carry the patient on the stretcher to avoid unnecessary secondary injuries due to excessive movements."
"Stretcher!" Hua Yuan nodded. He was good at surgery. Of course, he knew how dangerous it was to move the patient. It was necessary to have a stretcher.
"In addition, the ambulance also needs a general practitioner, a nurse, and a coachman. And all the necessary medicinal materials! "Meton let Sun Simiao and Hua Yuan act as the doctor and assistant, while he lay there and acted as the patient.
"Not bad indeed!"
When Sun Simiao and Hua Yuan entered the carriage, they discovered that the interior was very spacious. The small space had been used to the extreme.
Meton had put in a lot of thought into this, and had specially asked Mo Wu to prepare all the items that they would normally use to save people, earning the two elders' praises.
Even so, at this time, many modern first-aid equipment had not yet arrived. Therefore, the most important method of first aid was to let the doctors arrive as soon as possible.
"Go!"
Tie An, who was acting as the coachman, skillfully drove the carriage.
"Herod!"
The four horses galloped out of Mo Cheng Hospital at high speed.
The carriage was running on the bluestone road of Chang 'an, but the three people in the carriage didn't feel the bumps at all. It should be noted that the roads in this era were not as smooth as the roads in the future, and there were no air tires in the wheels. They were all solid wooden wheels. It was okay if they walked slowly, but if they ran fast like this, they would definitely throw up the food they had eaten last night.
"This is Uncle Zhang's latest achievement, shock absorber." Meton explained. Although it was called a shock absorber, it was actually the simplest curved iron plate. It used the principle of the tension of the iron plate to shock absorber.
Even so, it was made with the best steel in the Mo Family Village and the best technology. After all, the steelmaking technology in this era was not up to standard, and even the spring was not solved.
"Fast and stable! It is indeed the best way to stabilize the patient's condition and achieve the goal of first aid. "Sun Simiao praised.
"Tie An, be careful! This is a busy city, don't run so fast! "Hua Yuan saw the streets behind them moving backwards and reminded him worriedly.
"Elder Hua, don't worry! This carriage is designed with brakes. "Tie An shouted from outside.
"Brakes?" Elder Hua looked at Meton with a puzzled expression.
"If the carriage is running and something happens in front of it, the carriage can stop in time to prevent an accident!" Meton explained.
At this time, they were passing by a junction. Tie An shouted, and the carriage came to a steady stop with a piercing sound of friction.
"The brakes still need to be improved!" Meton laughed embarrassedly. The sound was too loud.
"It's good enough that it can stop!" Elder Hua was not disappointed. He had seen too many cases where carriages were seriously damaged. Even if the sound was piercing, it was better than an accident. Besides, saving people was like putting out a fire. The speed of the ambulance was bound to be too fast. With the brakes, the ambulance would be able to drive safely.
At this time, there was a commotion on the right front. A carriage was going too fast and collided with the carriage in front of it. The scene was chaotic.
"Someone is injured! He's bleeding!
"Help!"
…
It was chaos in front of them. Screams and cries for help were endless.
"Someone is injured? Hurry up and get out of the carriage. "Elder Hua stood up suddenly, and Sun Simiao followed closely behind.
The door of the ambulance opened. Hua Yuan and Sun Simiao carried the first-aid kit and rushed to the scene of the accident. Behind them, Meton and Tie An followed closely with a stretcher.
"Hurry up and get out of the way. The doctors from Mo Hospital are here!" Meton shouted when he saw there were too many onlookers.
"The doctors from Mo Hospital?"
Mo Hospital represented the highest level of medical expertise in Chang 'an City. The doctors from Mo Hospital represented the hope of survival. When the crowd heard this, they immediately made way for them.
In the crowd, in front of the collapsed carriage, a middle-aged woman hugged an unconscious strong man and cried loudly. Around them, several injured people were lying on the ground and crying. The ground was covered in blood.
"Doctor, you have to save my husband!"
The middle-aged woman heard the arrival of the doctor from Mo Hospital and begged anxiously.
"Don't worry, we will do our best!" Hua Yuan comforted her softly.
The two elders split up. Sun Simiao stayed behind to bandage the lightly injured person, while Hua Yuan focused on treating the unconscious strong man.
The two elders were both skilled doctors. They quickly stopped the bleeding. The strong man also slowly regained consciousness under Elder Hua's treatment.
"Thank you, doctor!" The middle-aged woman thanked him repeatedly.
"His condition has just stabilized. He still needs further treatment." Hua Yuan heaved a sigh of relief.
"We will follow your orders!" The middle-aged woman nodded quickly.
Meton and Tie An worked together to put the strong man on a stretcher and sent him to the ambulance. The middle-aged woman followed the ambulance.
"Tie An, lead the way!" Meton shouted.
"Yes, young master!" Tie An replied.
The carriage turned around. Tie An grabbed an iron whistle and blew it hard. In an instant, the sharp whistle resounded through the streets of Chang 'an City.
