"Thank you, Merton, for speaking up for the School of Medicine." In the Eastern Palace, Sun Simiao expressed his gratitude after learning that Meton's plan to support the School of Medicine had been approved.
He had devoted his whole life to practicing medicine and treating patients. However, in such a legendary life, he realized that the number of patients he had treated could not compare to the number of patients treated in Mo Hospital in a month. If it was really as Meton had planned, and there were hospitals in every province, county, and village, how prosperous would the School of Medicine be? How many patients would the School of Medicine be able to treat every day? That was the ideal of practicing medicine in his heart.
"Doctor Sun, you flatter me. I'm doing this for myself. If the School of Medicine prospers, we can save our lives when we are seriously ill in the future," Meton said modestly.
Sun Simiao could not help but sigh, "Everyone knows this, but for thousands of years, only Merton could see it clearly."
Elder Hua was in a good mood, "Brother Sun, you don't have to be so polite with Meton. The School of Mo and the School of Medicine have always been on the same side, complementing each other. For the School of Medicine to prosper, it is naturally inseparable from the support of the School of Mo. The free medical treatment implemented in the Village of Mo has also benefited the School of Mo a lot."
"Free medical treatment!" Sun Simiao could not help but sigh. This was the ideal state that the School of Medicine had dreamed of, but it was actually realized by the School of Mo. Although it was only free medical treatment for common diseases, with the development of the Village of Mo in the past few years, the number of diseases that were free of charge had reached 30, covering almost all common diseases. Even for other diseases, the villagers of the Village of Mo could enjoy half-price treatment in the Mo Hospital. It did not cost much.
"Old Man really hopes to see the day when the people of the world do not have to worry about their own diseases." Elder Hua also sighed. The free medical treatment in the Village of Mo only covered the people of the village. Most of the people in the world were still sick without any treatment, and even relied on their bodies to resist. Sometimes, a small cold could cause an adult to die.
Meton nodded, "As long as the School of Medicine works together, I believe that day will definitely come."
Sun Simiao and Elder Hua nodded solemnly. If it was before, they did not dare to think about this day. However, Meton's proposal to support the School of Medicine made them see hope.
"Other than that, the School of Mo has a gift for the School of Medicine." Merton said.
"A gift?" Sun Simiao and Elder Hua's hearts skipped a beat. If Moton called it a big gift, it must be something extraordinary.
Mo Dun looked at Mo Wu who stood at the side. Mo Wu understood and stepped forward, carrying a box with a radius of one foot and placing it on the table, he said in a clear voice, "Masters, this is a gift from Young Master. From what I see, with this item, our School of Medicine will be like a tiger that has grown wings."
Sun Simiao and Old Hua were wholeheartedly teaching Mo Wu medical skills. On one hand, Mo Wu was indeed a rare medical talent. On the other hand, Mo Wu had become the liaison between the School of Medicine and the School of Mo. After a few years of experience, they had long realized that the development of the School of Medicine was inseparable from the School of Mo.
"This is a telescope …" Sun Simiao was astonished.
Black Five's hand moved and opened the box, revealing an object that looked like a pair of binoculars. However, the binoculars were facing the sky while the two cylinders were facing downwards.
Meton shook his head with a smile, "No, this is a microscope. Its principle is the same as a telescope. The only difference is that the telescope magnifies distant objects to see things that the human eye cannot see. The microscope magnifies tiny objects."
"What's the use of this?" Sun Simiao was puzzled.
"Under the microscope, nothing can be hidden. A strand of hair can be as thick as an arm. A mosquito's leg can be magnified to the size of a cow's leg. Under the microscope, a grand microscopic world will appear in people's sight."
"Under the microscope, the School of Medicine can compare the difference between a normal person's wound and an infected wound. From there, we can find a way to treat the infection. Drinking clean water will bring many benefits to a normal person. However, drinking water that has been left out for a few days will cause diarrhea. If the two of you put the same water under the microscope, you will see how dirty it is!" Meton proudly said.
Mo Wu prepared two cups of clear water. He took a drop of water from each cup and placed it on the microscope. Then, he stepped aside and respectfully said, "Masters, please!"
Sun Simiao and Elder Hua looked at each other. Elder Hua was the first to speak, "I'll go first."
At that moment, Elder Hua impatiently came before the microscope. With Mo Wu's help, when he saw the densely packed insect-like creatures on the glass, he couldn't help but feel his scalp go numb. He said in shock, "They're actually so dirty, but they're still alive."
Sun Simiao couldn't hold himself back and hurriedly came before the microscope. However, when he saw the creatures on the microscope, he had a completely different reaction from Elder Hua. He raised his head and looked at the two cups of clear water in front of him. He couldn't help but sigh, "There's a saying in Buddhism, a world in a flower, a life in a leaf. Indeed, it's not a lie. To think that a drop of water can have such wonderful life. This is the first time I've seen such wonderful life."
Meton nodded, "That's indeed the case. However, these wonderful life forms can also be the reason why humans fall sick. If the School of Medicine can follow the vine to the melon and find the true reason why humans fall sick, that would be the greatest blessing in the world."
This time, even Sun Simiao couldn't help but be moved. Everyone knew the significance of the telescope to the School of Taoism. The School of Mohism gifted the telescope to the School of Taoism, allowing the School of Taoism to have a tool to see the heavens. As for the microscope to the School of Medicine, it wasn't inferior to the telescope to the School of Taoism. The microscope was the School of Medicine's tool to see the heavens.
With the microscope, the School of Medicine could easily find the cause of a patient's illness. From there, they could accurately determine the patient's condition and even cure the disease.
"Can this microscope be mass produced?" Elder Hua couldn't wait to ask.
Meton nodded solemnly, "It can be mass produced, but it's extremely difficult to make this microscope. Currently, there's only one sample. However, the School of Mohism can guarantee that every Mo Hospital will have one in half a year at most."
This microscope was specially prepared for Li Chengqian's foot. Once the wound became infected, it could be used. Otherwise, he wouldn't have taken the risk to let the Mo Hospital treat Li Chengqian. Fortunately, everything was going smoothly.
"What about the various hospitals?" Sun Simiao couldn't help but frown.
Meton smiled bitterly, "I'll send ten more microscopes to the various hospitals in the world. However, if the School of Medicine wants more microscopes, they'll have to buy them. After all, we can't let the School of Mohism suffer losses."
Sun Simiao couldn't help but bow to Meton gratefully, "It's already enough."
Such a sophisticated and magical instrument was priceless to the School of Medicine. Not to mention giving it away, it wouldn't be too much to ask a doctor to buy it with all their fortune. Meton giving away ten of them at once was already extremely benevolent. Moreover, based on his understanding of Meton, even if the School of Medicine were to buy it in the future, the price wouldn't be too outrageous.
The microscope was immediately left in the Eastern Palace. Li Chengqian, who had just recovered a little, became the microscope's guinea pig. Needles, blood samples, wound tests, everything was indispensable.
Li Chengqian was simply devastated, and he couldn't help but gnash his teeth when he saw the instigator, Modun. If it wasn't for the injury on his leg, he would have wished for nothing more than to beat Modun up on the spot to vent the hatred in his heart.
