Being used to seeing the magic in Kong Jie, John subconsciously chose to believe what Kong Jie said even though he found it a bit bizarre.
Just like the excitement and excitement that subconsciously appeared on his big wrinkled face at this moment.
After he came back to his senses and calmed down, John couldn't help but feel a little hesitant in his heart.
Penicillin John naturally knew that the first penicillin had actually been born in the world in 2028.
In the 1940s, penicillin gradually entered the stage of industrial production. However, due to immature technology, the output at that time was still very low and was not enough to supply the needs of the army.
At least at this stage, in China, there are mainly some sulfonamide antibacterial drugs.
I haven't heard of any drugs like penicillin.
Western countries don’t even have enough of it themselves. How can they bring enough penicillin to you, China?
Even if they exist, not only are they in very small quantities, but they are also quite expensive. There has always been a price but no market.
Thinking of this, John asked tentatively: "Xu, the drug you mentioned is even ten times more effective than sulfa antibiotics..."
Kong Jie said: “Penicillin, I think John you should also know very well.
In addition, even with the most advanced production technology in your Western countries, this pennicillin is not currently sufficient for mass production.
The output per cubic centimeter may only be a few units, or at most only a few dozen units.
Such output was simply not enough to supply the needs of the war.
What I have in hand is the production process for mass production of this nicillin-based antibacterial drug. "
Kong Jie's words were so conclusive that John couldn't help but believe it.
"Xu, so you have started research and production of penicillin?"
"Of course!" Kong Jie said confidently, "Although it is not enough for mass production due to industrial limitations, it is still possible to produce a small amount to meet the needs of our Chinese *** team.
With your help, John, and the advanced equipment and instruments provided by the United States, I think it may not be impossible to officially transfer antibacterial drugs like penicillin to the stage of industrial mass production. "
"Xu, I want to see with my own eyes what you said. You know, this matter is of great importance. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't be able to convince myself and the parent company behind me!" When John said these words, he couldn't breathe A little heavier.
He is not very jealous of the process of producing penicillin. After all, the United States has also mastered this process.
Moreover, the U.S. military has been secretly developing and preparing large quantities of penicillin-type antibacterial drugs to prepare for a war that may break out at any time.
But if, as Kong Jie said, he really mastered the production process of mass production of this pannicillin, it would be different.
Until now, the U.S. military has been troubled by the low production and high production costs of penicillin!
In John's opinion, whoever can solve the problem of mass production of penicillin can even become one of the greatest people of this era.
It will surely go down in history!
And the huge wealth that mass-produced penicillin can bring.
These temptations are absolutely fatal to a businessman like John.
Kong Jie smiled brightly. He was just waiting for the old American self to speak!
"Of course, John, I will let you see the most real situation, just not here. If you agree, I can take you to a certain station of the Eighth Route Army so that you can witness with your own eyes the injuries sustained while fighting the Japanese there. Soldiers whose wounds may become infected at any time are being injected with penicillin."
As soon as these words came out, John naturally couldn't sit still and immediately nodded in agreement.
He knew the current situation, and the Chinese army should never have such a highly effective antibacterial drug as penicillin.
If Kong Jie can really come up with such antibacterial drugs and use them in the Eighth Route Army
This is enough to prove that Kong Jie does have the technology to produce penicillin and even achieve mass production in the future.
Then the two of them left at once, leaving directly from the private room of Fengxianju, preparing to leave Ping An first. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
843 It all depends on Kong Jie’s acting skills
county seat, and then followed Kong Jie's guidance and rushed to the location of the fifth company of the independent second regiment.
The process of leaving Yangquan County was quite smooth. John, an American old man, was able to let the little Japs pass just because of his appearance.
At least so far, this ordinary devil would not choose to provoke the United States.
Kong Jie, who was escorted by both overt and covert escorts, left Yangquan with ease, and then took John directly to the station of the fifth company of the second regiment.
Kong Jie had arranged this trip long ago.
He guessed that John would be hesitant. He would not believe it easily without taking the American man to see the situation with his own eyes.
So after the group arrived at the fifth company's station, the cadres headed by the commander of the fifth company pretended not to know Kong Jie and Monk.
After the two sides met, the fifth company commander smiled and greeted Kong Jie: "Boss Xu, why are you here?"
John's expression was as expected, and he smiled and said, "Xu, I knew you were a regular visitor here. You must know the Eighth Route Army officers here."
"Who is this?"
The fifth company commander pretended to look at John and asked.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Liu Company Commander, let me introduce to you. This is John, an American businessman. Next to him is his assistant Joe Foss.
As a businessman with humanitarian beliefs, John has sent a lot of supplies and arms to help our Chinese Communist Army, especially our Eighth Route Army. "
"Welcome, warm welcome!" The fifth company commander extended his hand very enthusiastically and held John's hand tightly.
Then he couldn't help but look at John a few more times, and thought in his heart: It seems that this is the detachment leader's new enemy!
Then, Kong Jie directly stated his intention: "Liu Company Commander, let's get down to business!
Are the penicillins I sent last time still working? "
The fifth company commander immediately replied: "It works so well, it's like a miracle drug, much better than sulfa.
Boss Xu, I haven’t had time to stand up for our Eighth Route Army yet, so thank you very much! "
"Thank you for everything. We are all Chinese. You Eighth Route Army are sincerely fighting the Japanese and fighting the Japanese. This is what I should do. _o_m "
When the conversation changed, Kong Jie said directly: "John and the others came here this time because they also wanted to see with their own eyes the use of penicillin in our Eighth Route Army troops. Company Commander Liu, look at this..."
"No problem. Just in the morning, another batch of wounded people were sent from the front line. Some of the wounds were seriously infected. They are waiting for this penicillin injection!"
The fifth company commander said, and with John's surprised look on his face, he led Kong Jie and John to the fifth company's temporary medical clinic.
In the medical clinic, John and Joe Foss saw this scene:
There were five or six wounded people lying on the bed in the medical clinic. The injuries were very serious. Of course, they were mainly external injuries. It was obvious that the wounds were already infected, and some even had pus.
This is the greatest pain caused to the wounded during war - bacterial wound infection.
This is even the main culprit for the low recovery rate of battlefield casualties.
Many times, soldiers may only suffer ordinary trauma on the battlefield, but if the wounds are not treated in time, bacterial infection can even be life-threatening.
If there were no effective antibacterial drugs such as penicillin to suppress bacterial infection in the wounds, the wounded who were still alive at the moment would most likely die of ulcerated wounds in a few days.
How sad and helpless!
For the Eighth Route Army troops who were short of guns, ammunition, and even more medicine, this situation was even more common.
Then, health personnel arrived. After they entered the clinic with the medicine box, they opened the medicine box and saw that there were twenty or thirty drug-loaded syringes neatly placed inside.
"Is it possible that all the stuff in it is penicillin?"
John, who saw this scene, thought secretly in his heart: "Oh my God, just such an Eighth Route Army unit took out twenty or thirty penicillins at once. It seems that Xu really has the technology to produce penicillin!" "
These penicillins were scarce medicines worth gold during the war.
As John sighed secretly, the health staff took out the medicine box. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
843 It all depends on Kong Jie’s acting skills
The drug-loaded syringe inside was used to inject medicine into the seriously injured casualty.
Then a magical scene happened.
One of the soldiers who was seriously injured by the fragments was still sluggish when he was carried in on a stretcher, and even his eyelids were drooped.
After a dose of penicillin was injected into his body, in just a few minutes, his energy improved a lot, he opened his eyes, and even saluted the fifth company commander who came to visit him.
Don't think it's an exaggeration, this is the actual effectiveness of penicillin during this period.
Bacteria at this time have little resistance to antibacterial drugs such as penicillin.
The effect of antibacterial drugs is quite significant, otherwise it would not be praised by the military as a life-saving medicine.
Then, the health staff injected medicine into several other wounded people, and the conditions of the other wounded people also improved significantly.
The fifth company commander also warned the medical staff: "The wounded have been injected with penicillin. They will just wait for recovery. Pay attention to nutrition and improve the food for the wounded in the past few days."
"Yes, company commander, don't worry. With this special medicine, our wounded comrades will be alive and kicking in a few days!" an older health worker said with a smile. @ESSENTIAL\/SHUKEG·No mistake first release~~
"John, let's go out first, so as not to disturb the rest of the wounded." Kong Jie said at the right time.
When John and Joe Foss exited the medical clinic, what came to their minds was the miraculous scene when the wounded were treated with penicillin antibiotics.
The fifth company commander who was possessed by the drama spirit ignored the two Johns on the side and said to Kong Jie: "I have to say, Boss Xu, these special medicines you sent are absolutely amazing. I don't know how many of us have been saved these days." The wounded man's life is at stake!
It's just that we are fighting the Japanese army on the front line, and wounded people may appear at any time. Are these medicines still okay..."
Kong Jiedan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll have someone deliver 50 more doses later."
"Thank you so much, thank you so much. But with this money, our Eighth Route Army may just..."
"What money do you want? As long as our soldiers fight bravely on the front line, I will figure out a solution for this medicine!" Kong Jie said with dignity.
The fifth company commander became more and more grateful.
In the end, when they left the Fifth Company Station, John and Joe Foss were completely convinced that Kong Jie must have the technology to produce penicillin.
Even industrial mass production may not be impossible.
With the intervention of their American advanced equipment and sufficient resources, it may only be able to advance the process.
Just like that, the initiative was completely in Kong Jie's hands.
Actually...
Of the twenty or thirty drug-loaded syringes that the medical staff had just taken out at Wulian Health Center, only three of them were real penicillin.
Of course the wounded are also real.
But the remaining 20 or so syringes were all fake drugs.
Kong Jie obtained the penicillin production process through the system, coupled with the efforts of a newly established drug production research laboratory in the past six months.
Even some medical professors who were brought back from the concession have always stayed in the team to help.
After the unremitting efforts of all personnel, a team successfully developed penicillin, but the production was still unable to increase due to various constraints.
Naturally, it is impossible to just take out twenty or thirty doses and send them to the fifth company's medical clinic.
Kong Jie asked the fifth company commander and the others to put on such a show, naturally to deceive John.
The extraction of mold, large-scale cultivation of strains, especially purification, require quite advanced equipment, such as dryers, separators, various fermentation tanks, boilers and other equipment. These are not the current equipment of the Eighth Route Army. Certain process and production conditions can be provided.
Otherwise, Kong Jie would not have the trouble to go to the United States for cooperation.
It's purely to lay eggs.
In addition, to get more benefits from John, it is best to use this penicillin to obtain more arms and equipment for the Eighth Route Army troops, and even some military production lines.
After all, according to the timeline, even if Kong Jie doesn't take action.
By about 43 years,. (This chapter is not finished yet!)
843 It all depends on Kong Jie’s acting skills
According to the inevitable course of history, the United States can also master the process of industrial mass production of penicillin.
Kong Jie used his advantage of foresight to seize benefits in advance.
As for working with John.
When returning to the team headquarters again, Chief of Staff Xu Guoan also asked, "Lao Kong, do you really want to give up our penicillin production technology to the American Lao?"
Kong Jie responded this way: "According to the conditions I proposed, both the research laboratory and the first factory put into production must be placed within the base area of our first team.
And the primary research staff must be composed of our personnel or be fully controlled by us.
The production process of penicillin and the means of mass production, humming, Americans will naturally get some, but those will only be the leftovers for us to eat.
Don't they like to sell obsolete weapons to our Chinese *** team at high prices? Then we can just use the obsolete research technology as a benefit and throw it to the United States bit by bit. _o_m”
Of course, when we cooperate, we cannot let the United States notice the clues.
Then it depends on Kong Jie's acting skills...
