Supreme Pharmacist System

Chapter 221 Gold Plating

Francistown is located in the east of Botswana, near the border of Zimbabwe... yes, it is the country of Zimbabwe.

It used to be the center of the earliest gold rush in Africa. Now it has a population of about 200,000, and the number of officially registered AIDS is as high as 85,000, as high as 42.5%, which is terrifying.

I don't know if it is more confusing because it is close to Zimbabwe.

Francistown is about 450㎞ from the capital Gaborone, and Zhou Wen and the others set off at 12 noon.

The bus headed east.

After passing through the English country villa-style buildings in the capital, the scenery along the way became more majestic and beautiful.

When the vast grassland appeared in the eyes, most of the young people in the car who had never been to Africa leaned on the windows to watch.

Some people couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Botswana is like a country with a filter, it is simply beautiful.

Every place is as beautiful as the photos under the photographer's lens.

Of course, the country's good natural environment protection has a lot to do with its small population.

Botswana's land area is 580,000 square kilometers, which is larger than China's Sichuan Province + Tianfu, but its population is only 2.2 million.

And how many people are there in Sichuan Province and Tianfu?

In 2019, the resident population of Sichuan Province was 83.75 million, and Tianfu was 31.24.

The two add up to 114.99 million people.

A fraction of 4.99 million is more than double that of Botswana.

So when there are too many people, some things are naturally difficult to manage.

Zhou Wen and Wei Dong sat at the back.

Wei Dong has led a team to Africa many times for international aid, and he is very familiar with the customs here, and introduced the situation here to Zhou Wen along the way.

"Besides HIV, 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 and eventually kills..."

Wei Dong paused and said, "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, accounting for 7.9% of the death toll from the disease in Africa as a whole."

"There are so many..."

Zhou Wen was astonished when he heard this.

He has read relevant data and literature before, and cryptococcal disease has about 1 million new infections every year worldwide, and in sub-Saharan Africa, about 600,000 people die from the disease every year.

However, data will always be data. When all this is in front of you and within your reach, the shock is unparalleled.

Wei Dong nodded: "This data is official statistics, the actual death toll should be more than that."

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 was for malaria." Wei Dong said with emotion.

Zhou Wen said modestly: "You are too much!"

"No prize at all! This is a fact, and many people will appreciate your invention in the future." Wei Dong said, and 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."

"Ok, I know……"

The two chatted all the way.

The driver of the bus should often take a route, and the bus drives fast and stable.

There are not many high-rise buildings along the way, and they are all neatly planned buildings, which are very beautiful. It is conceivable that they must be radiant at night.

Exotic style, swing first.

Before six o'clock in the afternoon, they came to Francistown.

They lived in a large house in the southern suburbs, surrounded by rows of country houses similar to those in England.

It can be seen from the houses that this should be a wealthy residential area in Francistown... No, although the gap between the rich and the poor in Botswana is very large, and ordinary people only spend five or six hundred dollars a month, but people live like They are all luxury houses of several hundred square meters.

The house really does not tell the rich or the poor.

Then it was arranging accommodation, having dinner, etc... It was noisy.

Everyone is very excited.

After dinner, some members proposed to take a walk nearby, but Wei Dong strictly prohibited it.

No one not only allows, but shall not act without authorization.

Someone in the team was dissatisfied with this and let out a small beep.

Wei Dong turned a deaf ear, turned around and walked towards his bedroom.

Zhou Wen followed, "Wait a minute...Professor Wei."

Wei Dong seemed to know that Zhou Wen would come, and after Zhou Wen came in, he 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 upward, and outside was a dense forest, illuminated by the surrounding incandescent lamps, which looked blue.

And the urban agglomeration in the distance is just as he expected, very beautiful, and the few skyscrapers located in it exude dazzling brilliance, it is simply too beautiful.

Wei Dong took out a hardcover bag from his pocket and threw it to Zhou Wen, "Sit."

Seeing this, Zhou Wen sat down and wanted to light a fire for Wei Dong, but he touched his pocket and remembered that the lighter was given to Wang Wu before boarding the plane, and he didn't buy it after landing. He also borrowed someone else's fire in Gaborone before.

Wei Dong smiled, took out a disposable lighter, and lit it for Zhou Wen.

"Ahem..." Wei Dong cleared his throat after taking a puff of 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 it is natural to come here to help.

But when I think about it wrong, the AIDS patients in Botswana are indeed the number one in the world...but what does this have to do with them?

The country has plenty of money, and its actual per capita GDP far exceeds that of China. Everyone lives in a country house. In terms of aid, Botswana's aid to them is almost the same.

Seeing that Zhou Wen didn't speak, Wei Dong said: "This aid operation is not planned, and many things are rushed... Let's just go through the motions when we come here."

"what do you mean……"

Zhou Wen thought of the performance of those team members just now, and suddenly understood something. A large part of the team members may have come to be gilded.

It is precisely because of this that the leaders above chose Botswana, a politically stable and well-ordered country, for assistance, just in case.

Even his personal safety was considered by the upper management.

Thinking of this, Zhou Wen couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

Wei Dong smiled and said: "Yes! What I mean is what you mean, as long as you understand what I mean."

"But..." Zhou Wen still wanted to say something, but he swallowed the words and nodded, "I see, just treat it as a tourist."

...

After breakfast the next morning, the group went to the Municipal Hospital in Francistown under the leadership of Wei Dong.

On the way, Zhou Wen noticed that, except for Li Feng and Dong Wenying he had brought, the expressions of the rest of the people seemed 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 coming to Africa for aid, it's completely like a tourist.

At this time, Zhou Wen finally understood why the system only rewarded 50,000 experience points for such a major task as aid in Africa, and the time span was as long as 3 months.

Come and play around and go back, give 50,000 experience points, it's really a conscience system.

But in any case, it's a good thing not to venture into those dangerous areas.
