"Has the flu exploded?" Mu Yang asked.

Professor Baptiste was stunned, and then said with a little bitterness on his face: "Yes, the flu has broken out. It seems that you have studied this disease very deeply, otherwise you wouldn't have asked such words. Now the hospitals in Paris are overcrowded, and we are helpless about this flu. No medicine can do a good job. The French government has ordered local isolation and martial law."

"Is there only Paris in other places?" Mu Yang asked.

"Not just Paris, all the places I know, Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and even China, Japan, have already predicted this disease. Our research has found that this disease is very similar to influenza, with all the symptoms similar, but the use of drugs to treat influenza, the less effective it is. Moreover, the younger and stronger the flu, the more likely it is to be infected, and the more difficult it is to treat it. This is very puzzling to us. You must know that ordinary flu, young people, are stronger than weak people." Professor Baptiste said in confusion.

"This is God's punishment." Mu Yang shook his head and whispered.

"Mr. Williams, medicine is scientific. It's just a flu. Please don't pull it on God." Bernard, the young assistant beside Professor Baptist, said with a sarcastic face.

"Don't you believe in God?" Mu Yang said with a glance at the guy who kept tilting his neck.

"I believe, but I don't believe in God's punishment, and the Chinese witch doctor you use may not be effective. It may just happen that Alan Swift has gotten better by himself. This is not without precedent." Bernard said sarcastically.

Mu Yang's evaluation of him is that he is arrogant and may have some talent. However, he is very immature in dealing with people.

"Then you can continue to study your science, why come to me?"

Bernard's face turned red by Mu Yang's words, but he was speechless. Now the whole of France is helpless about this disease, so what can he do? And he doesn't believe that a soldier like Mu Yang will have a way to treat this disease, so he felt distrust towards Mu Yang from the beginning, so he spoke and did things with a bit of contempt.

"Okay Bernard." Professor Baptiste scolded his young assistant and said to Mu Yang: "Mr. Williams, on behalf of the French National Academy of Medical Sciences, I invite you to participate in our research."

"I'm sorry Professor Baptiste, I am a soldier. I am still in the war and I cannot leave my post without permission, so I cannot promise you." Mu Yang replied.

Is it meaningful to study the treatment of influenza with the French? Mu Yang is a British man, and his family is also in the UK. No matter how great his achievements are in France, how effective it will be?

Mu Yang said goodbye and left, and returned to his country villa to continue his vacation.

Professor Baptiste did not give up. He found General Ferdinand Foch, the commander of the coalition forces. Mu Yang's excuse was to be in war. He asked General Foch to send Mu Yang to the French Academy of Medical Sciences to participate in the research work.

But Mu Yang was a British man. Although General Foch was the commander of the coalition, he was not able to transfer an Englishman to the army. That was not something he could do. He had already had some impression of the name Joseph Williams. General Foch, and now he heard it again. He was also a little surprised. However, for the sake of France's safety, he still wrote a letter to the British commander General Douglas Hegel.

On General Douglas Hegel's desk, there are now two documents, one is a letter from General Foch from the French army, and the other is a telegram from the British mainland. General Hegel looked around and threw General Foch's letter directly into the wastebasket.

Mu Yang received an order from the British Army Command, and he was promoted to lieutenant colonel, and another order was to send him back to the UK. The Royal Society of Britain sent a letter to the British Army Minister, asking Mu Yang to return to the UK to study ways to deal with the flu together.

The Royal Society of the United Kingdom, full name "London Royal Society for the Promotion of Natural Knowledge", is the most powerful organization in the UK. It was founded in 1660 and played a role in the National Academy of Sciences in the UK. It is undoubtedly the British royal family. The British royal family was his first protector.

After saying goodbye to his close comrades, Mu Yang finally returned to London for more than ten days. Before leaving, Mu Yang went to the battlefield hospital and was about to say goodbye to Lina, but the hospital told him that Lina had gone to the front line. Mu Yang missed this lovely girl, and before leaving, he couldn't even say goodbye.

The Royal Society of England, Medical and Natural Sciences Branch, Mu Yang met with Sir George Porter, the president.

George Porter was kind, wearing a pair of glasses, a white face, and an elder look, "Welcome to you, Mr. Williams, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Professor Porter, you can call me Joseph. I'm very sorry. I came from France and wasted some time on the road." Mu Yang took off his hat and said politely.

"I'm anxious. There are flu in many places in the UK now, and there is no good idea in the hospital. The Medical Association has also invested a lot of scholars to study this problem together, but still no good results have been achieved."

"Joseph, I saw Elver's paper on the Lancet. Are you a graduate of Cambridge Medical College? You have successfully treated a dying patient, used a variety of methods, and proposed some very specific and novel methods. I sent someone to call you here in the hope of knowing your understanding of this flu and whether your method works."

"Now some people have suggested that this is not a simple flu, but a plague. We are all worried that if this is the case, it will be a disaster." Professor George Porter said earnestly.

Mu Yang organized a little language and said, "If I know, yes, I think this is a plague. We must raise our awareness and treat it as a war." Mu Yang felt that he should have issued a warning. Although some people have realized the seriousness of the problem, they have not yet gained a general understanding. In fact, this is also the biggest reason why 40 million people died in the world in the end.

"Do you think so too? Tell me what you think." George Porter asked curiously.

"I think this is a new virus, different from the previous flu virus, but the basic symptoms are similar, so I mistakenly thought it was influenza, but it has no effect in treatment. This is the reason." Mu Yang said.

"New virus." George Porter fell into deep thought.

Since 1676, Dutch Levinhoek first observed bacteria with a homemade microscope, thus revealing a microbial world that no one knew in the past. In 1898, Dutch bacterologist Bejerlink discovered the existence of viral bacteria through experiments, called "infectious living fluids" and named it viruses, Latin called "vilus". This is the first time the term vilus appears.

The medical community has now generally recognized that viruses are one of the root causes of diseases, but people often have no idea about this little guy who cannot see or touch them and does not know the characteristics. Even if Mu Yang now says that this is a new type of virus, Professor Porter can only express helplessness.

In fact, in the 21st century, people are helpless about the new virus most of the time, otherwise the disease would not have taken away tens of millions of lives around the world every year. (To be continued...)
