Plague Doctor

“These numbers, I feel like latitude and longitude. ”

In the middle of the night, the sky was still deep and the atmosphere was serious. In the meeting room, Gu Jun shared his thoughts with everyone.

When he was a kid, he'd seen a lot of charts of his parents, always with a number of coordinates like this, and he felt like the place in his dream was a deserted island in the ocean. He remembered that the Seabird went to every part of the ocean, to Longkan, to many places, to look for a target.

“I feel like the location of that deserted island in my dreams.” He said.

Nautical chart latitude and longitude? Yao Shinian, Professor Qin and others changed their faces. Gu Jun's “feelings” cannot be treated as usual.

Until then, the research team has been biased towards these numbers as a countdown because they appear in order from large to decimal numbers.

“I will immediately let you focus on this direction and examine this latitude in detail.” Yao Shinian nodded, “The idea of latitude and longitude has been mentioned before, but only 74, 31, 12, which is at best a latitude and not enough to make up a location. ”

To have a detail like the coordinates here in the Department of Medicine, two lines need to be precise to degrees per minute: longitude XX ° XX ′ XX ", latitude XX ° XX ′ XX"

For a range as large as "Dongzhou City", latitude and longitude are divided into degrees: XX ° XX '- XX ° XX', XX ° XX '- XX ° XX'

It is also important to know whether it is the eastern or western longitudes and the northern or southern latitudes.

The standard format, however, is positive for east and north latitudes, negative for west and south latitudes, and ahead for latitudes.

The current set of numbers, if it means "74 ° 31 ′ 12” north, is in the Arctic Ocean…

Without longitude, however, there is no way to locate a specific location.

In previous studies, they used military satellites to find this entire latitude, countless above Iceland.

“Jun, why don't you feel longitude?” Yao Shinian asked.

Gu Jun thought of this problem, and Ling Guang fainted. “Could it be that Uncle Dog still needs the epidemic of nightmares to continue to expand before he can also say longitude? Does the old dog need to accumulate strength when he says these numbers? ”

He said that the faces of the people were a little chilly, Professor Qin sincerely said: “Each group of numbers appeared between at least a thousand patients, and the further behind, the more patients there were...”

Gu Junton also had a deep heart. If the latitude and longitude coordinates were true, how many patients would it take to get the old dog to say the other three sets of numbers?

But why would Uncle Dog say a position and want to call someone else? Why is that?

Problems are hidden beneath obscure mist, and any clues that may arise take time to give.

It's just that all the people who are too busy to sleep today already have a deep fatigue, especially Professor Qin and Yao Shinian, the two old Hanaka people, the swollen black eye bag is worrying, I really don't know how long to work as intensively as this.

After this meeting, Gu Jun was isolated again at intervals of more than a month.

He temporarily stayed in a special isolation room in the psychological building. Routinely, he was cut off from communication. He had to connect with Professor Qin and Grandpa first. It's not that you can't trust him, it's to prevent him from going out of control.

Gu Jun lay on the bed in the quarantine room and let himself sleep in a thousand-head mood.

……

Three days later, the medical department became more busy.

In the middle of the night, when Gu Jun was suspected of having an illness, some patients who had been put to sleep because of the experiment continued to dream of that nightmare, which was still the same.

Four patients who underwent leukoencectomy also entered sleep in order to experiment with surgical effects.

But the advanced patient Yang Jianming's mental state did not improve after surgery, he did not fall asleep, had no dreams, nobody knew. The next morning, on the 18th hour after surgery, Yang Jianming died from multiple organ failure.

Mid-term patient Mallet still had nightmares and his condition remained unchanged.

However, Chen Wenwei and Zou Xinyue, two early patients, did not have that nightmare for three consecutive days!

This is a joy for research centres everywhere, and it seems to prove that in the early stages of a patient's illness, by destroying their prefrontal lobes, it is indeed possible to sever the patient's spiritual connection to the mysterious existence at the other end.

Although Chen Wenwei and his family also had symptoms similar to MSA and Parkinson's syndrome, their disease progressed at a slower pace than the initial patients who had not undergone surgery, who had three days to enter the middle stage.

Grandpa Tong's superpsychology research team had a hypothesis that "their souls had not been swallowed up, as if the tap had been turned off. But the spirits that have been lost, the nerves that have shrunk, will not recover immediately as a result, and will most likely never recover. ”

Another unfavourable situation is the sequelae of leukoectomy, Chen Wenwei and Zou Xinyue all exhibited a different kind of torn headache, and their personality changed markedly. On the one hand, they appeared quiet, and on the other, they were very strange.

Even so, doctors now have at least one opportunity to treat themselves with MSA.

However, MSA does not currently have specific therapies, mainly for autonomic neuropathy and Parkinson's syndrome.

The mean time to progression from initial symptoms to preoperative conditions like Chen Wenwei was 2 years, and nightmare disease took only 5-7 days.

MSA, which averaged 9 years from onset to death, now appears to last at least another year and a half after two surgeries.

“This is a major breakthrough.” Professor Qin said to Gu Jun that there was some comfort, "the surgery was effective, indicating that the disease could be cured. ”

Curable, that's what they want.

The Department of Medicine is already arranging for a second group of patients to undergo surgery, the sooner the disease occurs, the better, but a method of surgery that can be scaled up will have to be found.

Song Yilong, who collapsed in the first surgery, remained in a coma in the intensive care unit after the surgery, and this cannot happen again.

Gu Jun spent the last three days in the quarantine room. Patience listened to a message from him and took a full break. He hasn't had that dream since that day, and he hasn't had a clinical manifestation of morbidity, which has relieved Grandpa Tong.

New patients are still emerging, but new numbers are still missing.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Gu Jun walked out of the quarantine room and ended the quarantine.

However, he was still in the corridor, and he saw that the psychiatric team leader who came to take him, Tang Zhifeng, was all very pale and sad.

“Captain Tang, what's wrong?” Gu Jun's mind suddenly burst out. Three days is like the rest of the world. Has something happened to anyone...

At this moment, Peyani's diary flashed through his head like a ghost.
