Xu Mochen chose Western medicine not because he looked down on Chinese medicine.
Rather, most of the traditional Chinese medicine skills in this world were developed when the human race was enlightened. Immortal cultivators intercepted spells, magical powers, etc., and slowly introduced them into the human world, in order to gain immortality from the human race through mutual connections.
Strictly speaking, the existing medical skills of the human race are targeted by immortal cultivators.
Coupled with other objective restrictions, Xu Mochen made this decision in order to quickly break through and start a new path.
After Western medicine emerges, he still needs to come back and develop Chinese medicine.
Strictly speaking, he is actually using the modern medicine he knows to fight the medicine introduced to human beings by immortal cultivators.
After all, it is a long process to establish a complete medical system at this level of the times.
Fortunately, people below Zhao Lingbo don't understand this either.
Think about it, after all, what they value more is the opening of new fields.
In this world, there is no so-called opposition between Chinese and Western medicine.
As for the future, Xu Mochen believes that it should be left to the future humans to make their own decisions.
Chinese and Western medicine integrate each other and learn from each other's strengths. It may even break the current medical level and become the forerunner of modern medicine due to the intervention of Western medicine.
But these are beyond Xu Mochen's control.
He needs antibiotics now because there will really be a full-scale war with the immortal cultivators in the future, and the injured human beings will need such targeted drugs to save their lives.
In the next few days, Xu Mochen often came to Leng Palace to explain some basic knowledge to everyone.
For example, what are bacteria, viruses, and mold, as well as the principles of mutual restraint, etc.
In addition, chemical knowledge cannot be avoided naturally.
Xu Mochen doesn't know much himself, it can only be said to be at a basic level.
Surprisingly, Zhao Lingbo and the Li family's children accepted it very well.
Zhao Lingbo, in particular, seems to have found a new direction in life, studying with a microscope every day.
She also drew vivid pictures of the bacteria and gave some names.
Of course, Xu Mochen couldn't help but change the names of some common bacteria.
But he is the emperor and the founder of a new field, so of course Zhao Lingbo has no objection.
The most important thing is because Zhao Lingbo listened to Xu Mochen.
By the fifth day, the penicillin culture was almost complete, and Xu Mochen refined it himself.
The current solution contains a lot of impurities, as well as some other bacteria and various metabolites.
Those that can be used in clinical medicine are of higher purity.
This requires extraction.
According to modern medicine, extraction requires other chemical means.
But Xu Mochen entered the immortal way, and he had the power of the source, plus the spiritual consciousness to analyze all things. Combined, he could independently extract the finished product.
Compared to alchemy and the like, it can be said to be much simpler.
A crowd of people gathered around Xu Mochen to watch, but they did not expect that the emperor would be so unexpected.
Xu Mochen picked up one of the earthen jars and held it with both hands. After injecting the power of the source, his consciousness swept over it and paid close attention to the changes in the material inside.
Use the power of Taoyuan to peel off all impurities, bacteria, etc. After repeating this two or three times, a high-purity liquid will be obtained.
Xu Mochen asked Zhao Lingbo to take out part of it and keep it for future imitation, research and use.
He continued to inject the power of the source into the high-purity liquid, this time extracting the inner essence through crystallization.
Then, the crystals were taken out and ground into powder, which became penicillin.
This powder, combined with injection liquid, can be injected intramuscularly into humans.
As for the liquid for injection, Xu Mochen also used snow water to refine and make some.
At every step, Zhao Lingbo collected materials so that he could figure out the production method later.
Xu Mochen has explained that the human race must rely on its own strength to achieve refining and extraction, and cannot always rely on immortal cultivators.
Finally, Xu Mochen put the powder into small porcelain bottles according to weight and sealed the bottle mouths with wax oil.
This is already the limit of the current level.
Glass already exists in this world, but the production is very low.
As for rubber, it has not been studied yet.
Xu Mochen said there was no rush, and that he would get all of this step by step.
Eventually we will be able to produce penicillin that is exactly the same as in the 21st century.
"Just...if you want mass production..." Xu Mochen was silent. The key was the cultivation and reproduction of original penicillin fungi.
"Is Your Majesty worried that the amount of mold is not enough?" Zhao Lingbo was smart and saw the key at once, "We spent a lot of rotten oranges and so on just to make this little bit."
Xu Mochen nodded.
"I don't know if I'm right," Zhao Lingbo smiled. "When I was traveling, I once went to a temple. The monks there exposed mustard greens to the sun and dew at night, which caused the mustard greens to become moldy and grow green mold. Come.
The cylinder is then sealed and buried in the soil. It will take ten years before the cylinder can be opened for use.
The mustard greens in the tank, after such a long period of time, have completely turned into water. It is specially used to treat high fever. Is it similar to the penicillin your Majesty mentioned? "
Xu Mochen was overjoyed: "That's mustard marinade. The principle is the same."
"That's easy to handle. I'll ask someone to invite them," Zhao Lingbo said, "They may have their own methods for cultivating mold."
Xu Mochen thinks it makes sense, and the ancients also have the wisdom of the ancients.
On the other side, the team of Fang Minghang brother and sister also developed some injection needles.
There is no plastic yet, the syringe is made of glass and the needle is made of iron.
The limitations of the craftsmanship level were much thicker than the needles Xu Mochen knew.
But in this era, it is already very rare.
"The most important thing you must remember," Xu Mochen demonstrated, "whether it is pharmaceuticals, injection liquids, or equipment, they must be kept strictly to avoid mixing in other bacteria."
Zhao Lingbo's eyes were filled with bright stars.
His Majesty took action and opened the door to a new world for himself.
It's so dazzling.
"Okay," Xu Mochen finished his explanation and put the things back in their places, "I only know the surface.
The depth here requires everyone to work hard to explore. "
It is up to oneself to lead the master to practice.
But Zhao Lingbo and others were already extremely excited, and everyone's cheeks were red.
But... what specific diseases can this penicillin treat?
Speaking of this, Xu Mochen's face flashed with embarrassment. He actually didn't know much.
Besides, the names of diseases in ancient times were different from those in his time.
But the emperor didn't say anything, and no one dared to ask.
I just thought that the emperor should have deliberately left doubts for them to dig deeper.
Isn't it just a test of depth? No problem! This is their specialty.
The matter was almost settled, and the rest needed to be tested slowly. Xu Mochen thought about going back and preparing to leave the palace for Qizhou.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get off the car, a chamberlain ran to the door and shouted hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the National Medical Center is reporting urgently that someone is causing trouble!"
"Making trouble?" Xu Mochen frowned, "The National Medical Center was established by me myself, who dares to make trouble?
Send a team of embroiderers to arrest all the troublemakers first. "
Just kidding, the emperor doesn't even give him face, who would be so unhappy with this?
The emperor Xu Mochen always does things quickly.
He was disposed of neatly, and he didn't find it strange that there were some good and bad among the human race.
"Slow down!" Zhang Tongyuan took a step forward, his white beard twitching, "Your Majesty, there is no need to go to war over such a trivial matter. It will harm your Majesty's reputation for kindness."
Xu Mochen looked at him: "Aiqing, what do you mean?"
"Your Majesty, with medical skills, such things are common," Zhang Tongyuan smiled, "Seeing other people's medical clinics prospering, it is inevitable that they will have other thoughts and want to do something.
This matter was most likely done by a colleague. "
Xu Mochen was surprised: "I didn't expect that medical clinics are so powerful in involution. They even dare to come to the National Medical Clinic."
That was a department established by the emperor.
"Your Majesty, please be at ease, it would be bad if you use the Embroidery Envoy," Zhang Tongyuan said confidently, "There are just a group of jealous people on the left and right, targeting the medical skills of Wei Chen and others.
It's not a humble minister's boast. Back then, he was known as the golden hand of the ghost family. It's time to share the worries for His Majesty. "
Whatever the emperor is doing recently, he has no room to use it.
It was almost his turn to appear.
Xu Mochen was very satisfied: "Aiqing, in that case, I will go with Aiqing."
Looking at the slap in the face, Xu Mochen likes it best.
By the way, I also want to know who is so bold that he even dares to cause trouble in the emperor's medical clinic.
It’s just a cultivator, but as a mortal, I am still the emperor after all!
