It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 576 You Have Been Poisoned
If it was just lead ore, with his shallow mineralogical knowledge, Gretel had no clue.There are no conditions for the implementation of the "let the patient go for a blood test" that has tried everything.

However, putting the lead-zinc ore together immediately touched his memory—oh, cadmium pollution!
This is very famous!

Lead-zinc ore is often associated with various minerals such as silver, copper, sulfur, gold, indium, gallium, cadmium, and germanium.Among them, the most famous environmental pollution caused during the mining and smelting process is the cadmium poisoning incident——

In the previous life, in the 20th century, the famous "Itai-Itai Disease" appeared in the Jinzugawa River Basin in Toyama Prefecture, Japan.The patient suffered from pain in all joints, and after several years, the bones were severely deformed, and the bones were brittle and easy to break.Even coughing can cause fractures.

Itai-itai disease has been prevalent in the local area for more than 20 years, causing more than 200 deaths.The reason for this strange disease is that the cadmium-containing wastewater discharged from the zinc and lead smelters on the river bank pollutes the water body, causing the rice to contain cadmium, which accumulates in a large amount in the human body.

"Teacher, I see..." Gretel turned to Elder Erwin with bright eyes:

"The main culprit that caused the villagers to get strange diseases, besides lead, there is another kind..."

Another heavy metal element... Wait, have magicians discovered cadmium in this world?

Gretel recalled quickly.Thanks to the Lord of Thunder, he was forced to read new journals every week, so that he could catch up with the latest academic progress.Cadmium element...

Silver-white metal, atomic number 48, melting point 321 ℃, boiling point 765 ℃, density 8.65 g/cm...

Got it!

Just this year, a magician named Stroh discovered this metal element.This paper was published in the "Ordinary Magicians Monthly" three months ago!

Thanks to the magicians for their tireless exploration.If he judged that it was the disease, and then had to verify it from the extraction of elements, it would really give him headaches, heartaches, and pains everywhere.

"Teacher, besides lead poisoning, these villagers also suffer from cadmium poisoning. Uh, cadmium is..."

With a wave of his hand, large pieces of silent phantoms appeared, outlining the papers in the previous journals.Elder Erwin stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes:

"Um……"

His lips wriggled silently, carefully reading line by line silently.The paper not only lists the discovery process and various properties of cadmium, but also lists the inspection methods.In addition to chemical methods, there are also magical methods:

After the identification technique is photographed, what kind of signs must be seen to confirm the existence of cadmium...

Elder Erwin read carefully and tried his best to recite silently.Two heads poked out from the side, one left and one right:

The silver dragon girl's eyes were slightly bright, and she was very focused and devoted;
Apa's nose twitched, he chewed and chewed, and his eyes were fixed on the light screen, motionless.Gretel glanced at it, completely speechless:

Apa, you are illiterate!What are you reading this paper for?Do you understand?Wait, you don't mean to eat it!
For the sake of his thesis, Gretel spread five fingers, pressed on Yinyuelu's forehead, and pressed it down hard.Warcraft understood, and knelt down on all fours, allowing Gretel to climb on the back of the deer.Gretel held on to the antlers, stretched his neck and looked into the distance:
How many people are there in this mine?

There is also a workshop next to the mine. How many people are there in the workshop?
Most of these people have different degrees of lead and cadmium poisoning, and they all need to be washed by [Detoxification]. Is the number of spells in a day enough?
How to remedy the organic damage caused by lead and cadmium poisoning?For example, for osteoporosis, how to cure it with therapeutic techniques?
I was thinking quickly, and on the other side of the hillside, there were footsteps approaching from a distance.Before anyone arrives, the voice arrives first:

"who?"

Gretel followed the sound.The visitor has already turned out of the mountain road and hurried over.As soon as he saw the four people in front of him, especially the silver giant deer, his aura immediately dropped by half:
"Everyone, distinguished guests, what do you call them? What's your business in this mine?"

While talking, one foot high, one foot low, and quickly approached.Every time he took a step closer, the smile on his face grew a little more, and when he walked in front of everyone, his face was already full of smiles.

Gretel observed calmly. The man was strong and healthy. His leather armor was bulging out of his chest muscles. Although he was walking on the bumpy mountain road, he still walked briskly.From what it looks like, it should be a level 3 to level 4 fighter?

Well, it must not exceed level 5. The knight will be much more stable and faster if he walks this way...

The visitor had a thick leather whip wrapped around his waist, it was brown and red, and it looked like he had whipped many people with it.This is the manager of the mine?Gretel was suddenly a little unhappy, and added a [Feather Fall] to himself, and it fell lightly:
"I'm Gretel Nordmark, a level 6 mage, entrusted by Joan City Lord, to come here to investigate the strange diseases of the villagers. This is my teacher, and these two are my companions."

Appa snorted dissatisfied.Gretel laughed and patted Silvermoon Deer's ribs:

"Okay, Apa is also our companion..."

The person who came was shocked, and his expression became more humble.Gretel glanced at him, not wanting to speak, but Elder Erwin looked away from the paper, taking advantage of the situation to ask:
"How many people are there in your mine? Are they all villagers below?"

"Master Pastor, our mine is small, and there are only about a hundred people." The visitor glanced at the mage badge on Gretel's chest, and then looked at Elder Erwin, with a smile on his face, and he answered quickly :
"Most of them are the villagers below, and some are hired from outside. These villagers can't make much money from farming all year round. Working here, they can earn two silver coins a month for two meals. They rob Come on!"

Gretel knew it was true.Farmers grow and eat by themselves all year round. If they are lucky, they can fill their stomachs - but they really don't make much money.If there is an opportunity to work, especially if it is still in front of the house, they will indeed rush to it.

Two silver coins a month for two meals is not too little.Refer to Gretel himself, when he just crossed over, as a recruit of the city guard, his monthly salary was five silver coins...

"Where is that workshop? Is it yours? How many people are there? Are they all villagers?"

"I'm not in charge of the workshop. It was built by the master, and there are only a few dozen people in it... There are not many villagers, and these poor people can't do the work in the workshop. They are all hired from outside. , especially Dagong, how can there be one in the mountains!"

"How many people have joint and bone pain?"

After asking this sentence, the smile on the steward's face froze immediately.

He quickly turned his head and glanced at the mine, looked at the miners who crawled out of the cave with their backs on their backs and stopped nearby, looked at their faces covered in black ash and their hunchbacked backs, and waved his hands in a low voice:
"Well, honored guest, let's go down and talk? This place is dirty and messy, let the honored guest stand here and talk, the city lord knows it, and he must beat me..."

Elder Erwin followed him down noncommittally.The steward lived in a house on the edge of the stream, a little distance from the ore washing site.Everyone took their seats. Elder Erwin looked around the layout of the room and urged the steward:
"Tell me, how many people here suffer from that strange disease, with constant pain in their joints and bones?"

"This...see what you said, master." The steward smiled all over his face:
"Doing such a hard job, crawling up and down in the mine, and carrying ore down the mountain, how can it not hurt. It's all tiring, it's all tiring, just rest for a night."

Gretel has been watching silently from the sidelines.Watching him wagging his lips and tongue, watching his hand gestures fluttering, watching him be humble and respectful to himself and his party, and very contemptuous of those miners.He suddenly said:
"That kind of pain isn't tired, it's poisoned.—By the way, you're poisoned too."

"what?"

The steward's face suddenly changed.He raised his hands, wanting to touch his arms, and then his chest, and saw a beautiful girl on the opposite side, so he quickly put it down:

"Well, Master Mage, you can't say this casually... I, am I poisoned? Where am I poisoned? Who will poison me here?"

Gretel silently took out a mirror and handed it to him.The steward's hands trembled, and he took a step back subconsciously, not daring to pick it up at all:

Mirror!This is a mirror!Such a bright and clear mirror, palm-sized, he had seen it in a jewelry store in the city, at least five or six gold coins a side!

It was equivalent to his salary for several months!
"Just to take a picture of you." Gretel frowned slightly, a little impatiently:

"Forget it, I'll put it on the table, and you can take a picture yourself—on your front teeth, there are yellow rings, see? The part where the gums stick to the teeth, there are blue-purple lines, see?"

The steward bent down tremblingly to look.Look left and right, look up and down, the more you look, the paler your face:
"This, this, who poisoned me? Was it the miners? Or someone from the mansion? It must be someone from the mansion! In order to take my position, they want to kill me!"

"Shut up!" Gretel raised his voice:

"It's not that someone poisoned you! It's that you are here to open a mine, wash the ore, and open a workshop-the poisonous things in the ore flow into the water. You drink the water here, eat the vegetables that grow here, and eat the water in the water here. Fish and shrimp!"

He waved his hand vigorously:

"If you don't believe me, go and have a look, those miners and those villagers will have the same marks on their teeth!"

Of course, the poor oral hygiene of these villagers resulted in widespread yellowing and blackening of the teeth.Whether you can see the cadmium ring and the lead wire is another matter.

The steward's face was pale and trembling.He bowed deeply to Gretel and rushed out suddenly.Not long after, his bluffing voice came from outside:

"You! Open your mouth! Let me see your teeth! You! You! You! — hurry up, you're so stupid!"

In the room, Gretel and his party stared at each other silently.Elder Erwin's face was sinking like water, Bernard's face was serious, and Cerilla's cheeks were flushed with anger.Gretel activated the water-making technique, poured a glass of water for each of them, and said slowly:
"Let him gather everyone later. We won't cure the miners if we don't cure them."

Let him bully the miners!snort!
