Chapter 530 Conflict
Living things are truly amazing.
It can be born from nothing, grow over time, and eventually easily influence the environment.
Animals fight and compete, and plants climb high to vie for the sun.
If there's anything they have in common, it's the will to survive.
All species want to ensure and perpetuate their existence, but is there a connection between the two?
Harriet was puzzled by this, but with current medical and biological knowledge, she couldn't learn more.
Mr. Mosley brought her the most advanced knowledge available, but even so, it couldn't solve Harriet's many problems.
On the contrary, this only brought her more confusion.
Why can a combination of four drugs be used to create a medicine to treat any disease?
If that doesn't work, then bleed them out.
This is why being a hairdresser is a high-paying profession in Harriet's hometown.
Leeches are expensive in markets everywhere.
Legend has it that there is also a method of treatment using flies, which involves inducing flies to lay eggs at the wound site.
Once the maggots hatch, those white wriggling creatures will feed on the rotten, diseased, and poisoned flesh of the wounded.
But how does Harriet's ability treat patients?
According to her own understanding, she was simply using her own abilities to awaken the patient's own potential.
She cannot bring the dead back to life, and is equally helpless when the injury is too severe or the disease is inexplicable.
In other words, a person's own vitality is the most important factor.
Harriet had actually thought about this issue while treating Peggy.
She then realized that her different methods were acting on different organs of the human body.
Peggy's illness originates within her spine, yet Harriet's power requires frequent access to her kidneys and liver.
By stimulating different organs, Peggy's body will try to fight the pathogen.
However, the body's own healing abilities are limited, so Harriet was unable to cure Peggy's disease.
This only applies to the human body; there are subtle differences in how different species use their abilities.
This distinction is particularly evident between plants and animals.
Harriet can make plants grow rapidly, and even make thorns grow instantly.
Theoretically speaking, matter cannot be created out of thin air.
Plants must rapidly absorb energy from their surroundings to achieve this process.
But this clearly goes against its own inherent rules.
Therefore, the plant will die completely soon afterward.
This made Harriet wonder if she would kill someone if she used too many of her abilities on them.
Mr. Mosley had warned Harriet not to rely too much on her supernatural powers.
"Life Never Ends" is a book that records the power of gentleness, but gentleness can sometimes be poison.
Once you lose yourself in desire, one day you will be devoured by its gentleness.
I haven't lost myself in desires—Harriet thought to herself with a self-deprecating smile—but I have lost myself in knowledge.
To be honest, Harriet didn't know many words before she arrived at the library.
But ever since she mastered and began to study this power, she has developed an insatiable thirst for new knowledge.
When she was in the library, aside from working and spending time with Cathy, she spent all her time immersed in books.
She then discovered how vast the world of reading truly is.
No matter how much she learns, there will always be something new challenging her knowledge.
Harriet is reading right now, just like that.
Since the ship left the shore, Harriet has been forced to stay on the small boat.
She doesn't need to think about where the ship should go, how to manage the crew, or plan the supplies on board; those are Cathy's job.
It gave her unprecedented free time, allowing her to read without restraint.
She was reading a book that had come from the Far East. In the preface, the author described himself as a bachelor from Green Shade University.
The author demonstrates and elaborates on the connection between medicine and biology in the book, incorporating "anatomy" into the preface.
Theories are used to try to explain the evolution of organs.
He said that the composition of the internal organs of different animals can be used to determine their species affinity.
Furthermore, it was proposed that similar animals be used instead of human trials to reduce the incidence and mortality rates of unexpected morbidity and mortality during the clinical application of new technologies.
While reading this book, Harriet could feel the author's kindness.
At the same time, I also deeply felt the immense challenges the other party faced.
It was at this moment that Harriet felt somewhat envious of the other person's bachelor's degree.
They can immerse themselves in studying all sorts of unknown knowledge without being distracted by anything.
And once there are results, they can also receive praise from the world.
Harriet sensed that what would change the world was not war, but technology.
And technology can be combined with extraordinary power—
"Hmm, if I had to choose a topic," Harriet thought, "this is the one!"
Harriet attempted to combine knowledge with "Life Never Ends".
Harriet has read this ancient book many times in its entirety.
Although Harriet has not yet fully mastered its power.
But she was already able to see the framework of the entire power system.
And we asked Mr. Mosley for his opinion on this.
The gentleman did not deny it, but merely reminded us to learn to see the negative aspects of power.
Hmm—now that she has some free time to think about this, she realizes that any ideal, if it is to be realized, will inevitably face numerous obstacles.
'
A slightly muddy sound came to my ears.
Harriet pulled herself out of the book and noticed a commotion outside the cabin.
Kathy is not in the room.
She immediately became worried about Cathy's safety and went straight to the deck.
As soon as Harriet stepped outside, she saw the petite Cathy arguing heatedly with the burly man in front of her.
"I disagree!" Casey roared.
"That's not up to you," Valentine shrugged.
He was Cyril and Casey's chosen assistant, and also a pirate.
"You must listen to me," Casey shouted, her eyes wide. "I'm your captain!"
"Ha!" Valentine exclaimed. "You're my captain? You're a pirate? This is a pirate ship!"
“Cyril gave me command of the ship,” Casey said.
“Cyril also sent me to assist you,” Valentine said. “I take his orders because he is not only the governor of the archipelago, but also a pirate, and a pirate leader at that. But, boy, you are nothing.”
"Then you should obey Cyril's arrangements!"
"Cyril told me to take you wherever you want to go, so you decide where the ship goes, but how it gets there is up to me. Do you know anything about sailing? Oh! Judging from your expression, you know nothing. Is not getting seasick your only redeeming quality? If we listened to everything you said, you would definitely lead us all to our deaths at sea."
Cathy, however, refused to back down: "Since you don't want to die, then try to minimize the conflict."
"This is a pirate ship. For her, plundering is like sex. Young master, this is not a safe haven for you."
As Valentine spoke, he gestured to direct the sailors' actions, "Besides, this is a light ship, fast, but with limited capacity, so it does not support long-distance voyages."
"So, accept your fate; we have no choice but to fight our way through."
