Supreme Pharmacist System Chapter 221: Gold plated
Francistown is located in eastern Botswana, near the border with Zimbabwe...yes, the country of Zimbabwe dollars.
It used to be the center of the earliest gold rush in Africa, and now there are about 200,000 people, and the number of people with AIDS officially registered is as high as 85,000, as high as 42.5%, which is terrifying.
I don't know if it's more confusing because of its proximity to Zimbabwe.
Francistown is about 450㎞ from the capital Gaborone, Zhou Wen and the others set off at 12 noon.
The bus goes all the way east.
After passing through the capital's English country house-style buildings, the scenery along the way becomes majestic and beautiful.
When the vast grassland appeared, most of the young people in the car who had never been to Africa leaned on the window and watched.
Some people could not help but let out a cry of exclamation.
Botswana is like a country with a filter on, it's simply beautiful.
Everything is as beautiful as a photographer's lens.
Of course, the protection of the natural environment in this country has a lot to do with the small population.
Botswana has a land area of 580,000 square kilometers, which is larger than one Sichuan province and one Tianfu in China, but has a population of only 2.2 million.
How many people in Sichuan and Tianfu combined?
In 2019, the permanent population of Sichuan Province was 83.75 million, and Tianfu was 3124.
The two add up to 114.99 million people.
The fractional fraction is 4.99 million, which is more than double that of Botswana.
So when there are many people, some things are naturally difficult to manage.
Zhou Wen and Wei Dong sat at the back.
Wei Dong has led the team to Africa for international assistance many times. He is very familiar with the local customs and conditions, and introduced the situation to Zhou Wen along the way.
"In addition to AIDS, Botswana has one of the highest TB rates in the world.
Because of its high incidence of AIDS, and once the immune system is severely weakened, tuberculosis, a contagious bacterial infection, begins to spread, eventually leading to death..."
After a pause, Wei Dong followed: "In addition, HIV-induced cryptococcal meningitis is also very serious in Botswana. According to incomplete statistics, in 2018, Botswana died of cryptococcal meningitis. About 47,000 people suffer from the disease, accounting for 7.9% of all deaths from the disease in Africa.”
"There are so many..."
Zhou Wen was surprised when he heard the words.
He has seen the relevant data literature before, cryptococcosis is about 1 million new infections every year worldwide, and about 600,000 people die of the disease every year in sub-Saharan Africa.
However, data is always data, and when it's all in front of you and at your fingertips, the shock is unparalleled.
Wei Dong nodded: "This data is official statistics, the actual number of deaths should be more than it."
Zhou Wen didn't know what to say for a while.
"It's amazing that you can successfully clone the serum cells of cryptococcosis, just like artemisinin did to malaria back then." Wei Dong said with emotion.
Zhou Wen modestly said: "You have won the prize!"
"It's not a prize at all! It's a fact. In the future, many people will be grateful for your invention." Wei Dong said, "By the way, when will the vaccine be put on the market?"
Zhou Wen: "Well, it will take about a year, mainly because the technical equipment requirements for mass production are relatively high."
"Well, I know..."
The two chatted all the way.
The bus driver should always take a route and drive fast and steady.
There are not many high-rise buildings along the way. They are all neatly planned buildings. They are very beautiful and can be imagined. It must be full of brilliance at night.
Exotic, swinging.
Before six o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived in Francistown.
The place where they live is in the southern suburbs, a large house, surrounded by rows of country houses similar to those in England.
It can be seen from the houses that this should be the rich residential area of Francistown... No, although the gap between the rich and the poor in Botswana is very large, the average person is only five or six hundred dollars a month, but people The family seems to live in such a mansion of several hundred square meters.
The house really can't tell the rich and the poor.
Then it's arranging accommodation, having dinner, etc....noisy.
Everyone is excited.
After dinner, some members proposed to take a walk nearby, but Wei Dong strictly prohibited it.
No one is allowed to act without permission.
Someone in the team was dissatisfied with this and let out a small beep.
Wei Dong turned a deaf ear and walked towards his bedroom.
Zhou Wen followed, "Wait a minute...Professor Wei."
As if knowing that Zhou Wen would come, Wei Dong said, "Close the door."
Zhou Wen heard the words and closed the door behind him.
Wei Dong walked to the window and pulled up the glass... The glass was upwards, and there was a dense forest outside, which was bluish under the illumination of the incandescent lamps all around.
And the city complex in the distance is as he expected, very beautiful, and several skyscrapers located in it exude a dazzling brilliance, which is simply too beautiful.
Wei Dong took out the hardcover big front door from his pocket, took out one and threw it to Zhou Wen, "Sit."
Seeing this, Zhou Wen sat down and wanted to ignite Wei Dong, but when he touched his pocket, he remembered that the cigarette was given to Wang Wu before he got on the plane, and he didn't buy it after landing. It was borrowed by someone else in Gaborone before. fire.
Wei Dong smiled, took out a disposable lighter, and helped Zhou Wen light it.
"Cough cough..." Wei Dong cleared his throat after taking a cigarette and said, "Why do you think we came to Botswana?"
"Uh..." Zhou Wen froze for a moment, wanting to say that Botswana has the most AIDS patients, so naturally he wants to come here to help.
But if I think wrong, Botswana is indeed the number one AIDS patient in the world...but what does this have to do with them?
Other countries have money, and the actual per capita GDP far exceeds that of China. Everyone lives in country houses. When it comes to assistance, Botswana's assistance is almost the same.
Seeing that Zhou Wen didn't speak, Wei Dong said: "This aid operation was not planned, and many things were rushed... Let's come here just to go through the motions."
"You mean..."
Zhou Wen thought of the performance of the team members just now, and suddenly understood something, a large part of the team members may have come to gild.
Because of this, the leaders above chose Botswana, a country with political stability and good law and order, for assistance, just in case.
Even his personal safety was taken into consideration by the upper management.
Thinking of this, Zhou Wen didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a while.
Wei Dong smiled and said, "Yes! I mean what you mean, you just need to understand what I mean."
"But..." Zhou Wen wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words again and nodded, "I know, it's just a trip."
……
Have breakfast the next morning~IndoMTL.com~ The group, led by Wei Dong, went to the Municipal Hospital in Francistown.
Lu Zhouwen noticed that except for Li Feng and Dong Wenying he brought, the expressions of the others were very relaxed, they were chatting and laughing along the way, and many people took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
It doesn't look like aid came to Africa, it looks like a tourist.
At this time, Zhou Wen finally understood why he went to Africa to assist such a major task, and the time span was as long as 3 months, and the system only gave a reward of 50,000 experience points.
Come and play around and go back, give 50,000 experience points, it's really a conscience system.
But anyway, it's always a good thing not to venture into those dangerous areas.
