Zhou Wen is not a great man. He neither knows how to make medicine nor understand any chemical principles, but he knows that the best anti-inflammatory drug of this era will be available in a few years. That is sulfonamide invented by the Germans, also called polysulfonamide. An anti-inflammatory drug derived from dyes.
He has asked Mandel to keep an eye on German medical news and contact German pharmaceutical companies to purchase as soon as there are reports in this regard.
As for producing antibiotics by himself, Zhou Wen wouldn't even think about it. Just look at Japan, the most industrialized country in Asia. Until the end of World War II, it had not produced even a bottle of penicillin, even with the technical requirements of sulfa. For relatively low-priced drugs, Japan's own production capacity is far from meeting the demand, which shows that these drugs cannot be produced by knowing the principles, not to mention that even the principles are half-understood by Zhou Wen.
For example, penicillin was discovered before World War II. Unfortunately, scientists have not been able to find a method to extract high-purity penicillin. Later, scientists from several countries worked together and after countless experiments, it was not put into production until 1942.
During this period, China had neither the industrial conditions nor the scientific and technological talent to produce such high-precision drugs. The only way for Zhou Wen to obtain them was to purchase them.
Therefore, Zhou Wen wanted to get the first batch of orders while other countries were still waiting to see and doubtful about the efficacy of sulfa. The price during this period was the cheapest.
After the large-scale clinical use of sulfonamides proved its value, the price of polysulfonamides at that time was comparable to gold. Especially during the Anti-Japanese War, due to Japan's blockade, it was difficult to find sulfonamides in China's controlled areas. It has reached the point where gold is held. Scarce to the point of being unavailable.
At this time, Huang Dayou had woken up. After knowing that his uncle was out of danger, he looked at Zhou Wen gratefully and said with a naive smile: "Thank you, sir, for saving your life. My uncle said that from now on, I will follow you, Commander Zhou, to fight the Japanese." , I wonder if you will accept me?"
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "It's okay to follow me to fight the Japanese, but on the battlefield, you have no eyesight. Now you are the only one left in the Huang family. We have to wait for your uncle to wake up, and then we can discuss it in the long term."
Just as he was talking, he heard Huang Dayou's stomach growling again. He immediately asked someone to take him to eat first and let him take a bath and change clothes, otherwise Huang Yisheng would think that he didn't want to see his nephew when he woke up.
At this moment, he heard a rush of footsteps in the hospital. When Zhou Wen heard the clicking sound of leather shoes on the floor, he knew that Zhao Changshu was coming.
Sure enough, before the person arrived, the voice came over.
"Brother Yisheng...how is brother Yisheng?"
Zhou Wen said angrily: "Senior, this is a hospital, not a battlefield. Can you please lower your voice?"
Zhao Changshu didn't even change into his combat uniform, but walked over with dusty steps. He seemed not to have heard Zhou Wen's words, and looked at Feng Tianpei anxiously and asked: "Tianpei, how are you? Have you been rescued?"
Feng Tianpei said: "Now the condition is stable for the time being. It depends on the situation in the next few days. His wound infection can only rely on his desire to survive and the effect of Ziqinghong Medicine."
"And your Prajna Qi, you should hurry up and give it to him!" Zhao Changshu said urgently to Zhou Wen.
"Senior, didn't you just come out? Do you think my Prajna energy is a bottomless pit?" Zhou Wen said helplessly.
Zhao Changshu was so anxious that he rubbed his hands together and turned them around in circles.
Zhou Wen shook his head and smiled bitterly. This senior had such a temper. Seeing that his friend's life was in danger, he couldn't calm down even if you asked him to.
Zhao Changshu suddenly stopped and asked Zhou Wendao: "Did he really shoot himself?"
"Alas!" Zhou Wen sighed and said, "Think about it, my mother, wife and two children were all blown up by the Japs. The young commander had no intention of resisting. Seeing that there was no hope of revenge, he felt in his heart The misery and despair are not something we can understand.”
Zhao Changshu punched his palms and said bitterly: "This little devil is not a human being. He will not let go of old, weak, women and children."
At this time, a nurse came out of the emergency room and said: "The patient is awake."
Feng Tianpei walked towards the room after hearing the sound. Zhao Changshu wanted to follow him in, but Zhou Wen stopped him and said, "Senior, don't go in yet. Let Junior Feng check first. Commissioner Huang needs to stabilize his mood now."
Zhao Changshu could only stop his steps and follow Zhou Wen to sit on the bench.
At this time, Cui Xiaolu came up and handed Zhao Changshu a glass of water, and said crisply: "Sir Zhao, please drink water."
Zhao Changshu nodded and took it, drank it in a few sips, and then smiled at Cui Xiaolu and said, "Sister Xiaolu is very considerate. I don't know who will be lucky enough to marry you in the future. Then I will enjoy a lifetime of happiness."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhou Wen intentionally or unintentionally, while Cui Xiaolu blushed at Zhao Changshu's words, but lowered her head and remained silent.
Zhou Wen smiled bitterly in his heart, wondering what kind of trouble this senior would cause at this time.
In fact, Zhao Changshu admired Cui Xiaolu's character of daring to love and hate. To put it bluntly, she was a bit like a modern woman, which was rare in the era of the Republic of China. He believed that if you like someone, you should boldly confess your love. If you beat around the bush, people will look down on you.
At this time, he forgot that his marriage was also decided by his parents, so it was his turn to make a bold confession.
Especially when Cui Xiaolu followed the mercenary group to the Songhu front line to save lives and heal the wounded, he was even more impressed. He praised Cui Xiaolu many times for being a woman and not inferior to men. He had revealed several times in front of Zhou Wen that he wanted to adopt Cui Xiaolu as his adopted sister.
Of course Zhou Wen knew what Zhao Changshu meant. On the one hand, he really admired this girl, but on the other hand, he also wanted to improve Cui Xiaolu's status. As the adopted sister of the Taiyuan garrison commander, marrying Zhou Wen would not have to worry about being a good match.
However, how could Zhao Changshu have guessed Zhou Wen's persistent pursuit of love as a single man for two generations.
At this moment, another burst of footsteps came, but Zhou Wen felt bad.
It turns out that after experiencing the Battle of Songhu, Zhou Wen found that his already superhuman perception had made great progress. Now, not only could his vision be farther and wider, but his hearing had also undergone surprising changes, that is, as long as he listened to The footsteps of a familiar person can be recognized immediately next time, and even the posture of that person when walking can be guessed.
Now he heard the footsteps of three familiar people, namely brother and sister Liu Ruoshui and Liu Ruolan, and the other one was Zhang Xiaoping. Moreover, the three of them walked over leisurely. It seemed that Liu Ruoshui was introducing the conditions of the beautiful hospital to her sister, while Liu Ruoran was looking around with interest.
This is a hospital founded by her beloved, and it is said that the hospital's treatment and management standards have surpassed many hospitals run by foreigners. Liu Ruolan is of course very interested.
She didn't see Zhou Wen in the morning. When Zhang Xiaoping said that Zhou Wen was helping to treat a friend in the hospital, she also wondered how Zhou Wen knew how to treat diseases.
So after following her elder brother around Taiyuan for most of the day, she decided to visit the hospital.
