Chapter 743 The Demon Race Makes a Comeback

The situation is slightly better for the dwarves.

They had herbs and medicinal wines, but they were equally helpless in the face of complex diseases.

In particular, long-term mining operations, along with forging-related lung and occupational diseases, metal dust damage, joint strain, and high-temperature burns, were things that people used to have to endure.

Now that we have Daxia Hospital, at least we can receive systematic treatment.

After listening, everyone looked at Liu Chengen thoughtfully.

It's only been a little over a year since Great Xia and Terra established diplomatic relations, yet so many drugs targeting various races in Terra have already been developed?

And it passed clinical trials?

In Daxia, it can take anywhere from a few years to more than a decade for a drug to be marketed.

Terra...why so fast?

Could it be a live human experiment?

Seeing the slight frowns in everyone's eyes, Liu Chengen immediately understood and said:

"The progress of specialized drugs for various ethnic groups is faster than expected, but I want to emphasize that our biological research institute has not acted recklessly."

He looked at everyone in the conference room, his tone unusually serious.

"The different races on Terra have physiological differences from humans, so drug metabolism and effects cannot be directly compared to Earth's standards."

"But all the drugs we develop have gone through a volunteer system, tiered clinical trials, and ethical approval, so they are completely legal and compliant."

"The reason it's progressing so quickly is twofold: firstly, bioscience is advancing rapidly; secondly, we have healing magic and holy water as backup during the experiments; and thirdly, we have magical plants and animals from Terra as raw materials. That's why we've made such rapid progress."

Terra drugs were able to be quickly brought to market not because Great Xia dared to experiment recklessly, but because the magic system reduced the risks of experimentation.

In addition, thanks to the continuous research efforts led by Liu Chengen's biological research institute, these achievements have been made.

Without these research fanatics, Terra Hospital could not have been built so quickly.

After listening, everyone nodded with smiles.

Although the various tribes of Terra are not Great Xia people, they still do not want to lose their humanity and use living people from their respective tribes to conduct illegal experiments.

The moral system must never collapse; this is the bottom line!

Lin Mo turned to the next page.

Finally, there are infrastructure orders.

A densely packed list of projects appeared on the screen.

The nuclear fusion reactor used to plant the World Tree, roads, bridges, mining tracks, storage centers, cold chain stations, power generation facilities, communication towers, waterworks, sewage treatment plants, public toilets...

The previous projects were not surprising to anyone.

Upon seeing the words "public toilet," many people in the meeting room displayed somewhat subtle expressions.

Lin Mo, however, took it very seriously.

"Don't underestimate the toilet."

"If this problem isn't solved, our level of civilization won't improve."

This sounded a bit strange, but everyone present understood what he meant.

Terran nobles have their own manors and servants, and the sanitary conditions are reasonably good.

But it's different for ordinary city residents.

In many cities, the smell of urine lingers on street corners, and feces and sewage are everywhere. In the summer, when it gets hot, flies swarm, making it easy for diseases to spread.

They did consider fixing the toilets.

The problem is that the latrine fills up, is difficult to clean, and has high maintenance costs.

Ordinary people wouldn't spend a lot of money to dig a pit and build a house just to use the toilet.

Most people are living under the pressure of thirty-three taels of silver; they don't have the money to spend here. Just surviving is good enough.

The Terran envoys had visited Bactria several times before.

When they visited the underground city, what impressed them most were the spaceships, robots, and electromagnetic cannons.

But after staying for a few days, what impressed them most was the cleanliness of the streets in Daxia, which had no unpleasant odors.

There was no sewage on the ground and no foul odor in the air.

The person had no strange smell; in fact, they smelled of shampoo and soap.

This has had a tremendous impact on all ethnic groups in Terra.

The Holy Humans and Elves value their reputation, while the Orcs and Dwarves have had enough of their own filth and disorder.

That's right, the dwarves' hygiene is about the same as the orcs'.

The dwarves live underground, where the temperature is hot, and they also need to forge materials, so they are covered in sweat.

As for hygiene issues, whether it's a mine or a mountain town, no matter where you squat to urinate and then bury yourself, over time, with the total amount of waste throughout the town, there will be an unpleasant smell.

Imagine being in a confined underground space, where the faint smell of excrement and urine permeates the air, and the dwarves themselves reek of sweat and body odor. The smell is indescribably awful!

When they learned that Daxia could provide a complete public health solution, orders immediately poured in.

It's not just about selling toilets individually; it's a complete package including public toilets, septic tank treatment, sewage pipe networks, waterworks, garbage collection, disinfection and sterilization, and more.

Lin Mo said:

"Currently, the seven main cities of the Holy Human Race, the twelve large settlements of the Orc Race, and the four mountain city-states of the Dwarf Race have all placed public health orders."

"Although the elves have relatively good hygiene, they have also ordered toilets."

Upon hearing this, Han Niba couldn't help but say:

"So now we're not just selling weapons, machinery, and medicine, but also toilets?"

Lin Mo nodded seriously.

"Sell."

"And the profit margin is not low."

Laughter erupted in the conference room.

Zhao Gang also laughed and cursed.

"We definitely need to earn this money."

"I've been to their city, and the air quality there is truly unbearable."

Old Zhao smiled and then looked at the screen.

He knew that these seemingly insignificant things were the real forces that changed the underlying structure of civilization.

Roads facilitate the flow of goods, hospitals keep people alive, and toilets and water treatment reduce disease outbreaks.

Trade has made all ethnic groups increasingly dependent on the Great Xia industrial system.

Once all these things take root, the relationship between Terra and Great Xia will no longer be as simple as that of allies.

Instead, it will become an increasingly deep bond of civilization.

At that point, Terra will truly be unable to leave Great Xia.

.......

Just as Zhao Lao closed the meeting minutes in front of him, preparing to give a final summary of this Terra development report, the meeting room door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Secretary Li strode in, beads of sweat on his forehead, panting heavily as he called out:

"Something terrible has happened!"

The meeting room immediately fell silent.

Just moments ago, everyone was discussing the various tribes of Terra in a relaxed atmosphere, but as soon as Secretary Li finished speaking, everyone's attention turned to him.

Old Zhao did not lose his temper, but said in a deep voice:

"What is it!"

Secretary Li took a deep breath and explained the situation:

"The Space Fluctuation Detection Network has just detected an unusual signal: spatial fluctuations, suspected to be the prelude to the opening of a wormhole, have appeared in eight regions on Earth!"

Everyone in the conference room was taken aback.

As the secretary operated the tablet terminal in her hand, the main screen automatically switched the next second. Terra trade data was pushed to the background and replaced by real-time monitoring maps of the northern hemisphere and mid-latitude regions of Earth.

Eight red dots lit up on the map almost simultaneously.

Next to each red dot, a string of rapidly refreshing data pops up.

Anomalies in spatial curvature and energy tides suggest the possible opening of a spatial channel.

Lin Mo looked at the eight red dots, and the bad feeling he had earlier became a reality.

The demons... are here again!
