"How did the two of them come together?"
Listening to Wang Chengen's report, Chongzhen was slightly lost in thought, and then immediately said: "Send the message to Zhang Jingyue first!"
"I see your Majesty!"
Chongzhen waved his hand and looked at Zhang Jingyue: "What does Zhang Aiqing want from me?"
"Your Majesty, you are so happy!"
Without waiting for Chongzhen to guess, Zhang Jingyue continued: "Your Majesty, the test results of medical alcohol and physiological saline are out.
The experiment lasted three months, with a total of 1,500 test subjects, half of which were medical alcohol and half of normal saline.
The disinfecting effect of medical alcohol is stronger than that of physiological saline. During the use of medical alcohol, the injured will experience strong pain, redness and swelling around the wound, the healing time is about 30% longer than usual, and it is easy to leave scars, and only about 20% of the infection will cause pus.
Normal saline is relatively mild, but the infection rate is higher, about 30% to 35%.
Even wounds that have been infected and suppurating can mostly return to normal after using the combination of the two, but the wounds are more difficult to recover from.
If cold weather is taken into account, the infection may increase by half to 10%.
According to our experiments, after large open wounds are sutured and then wiped with physiological saline, the effect is better.
Generally speaking, it is much better than the previous Cangzhu.
The Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine is now studying how to combine it with Atractylodes to minimize infection. "
When reporting this, Zhang Jingyue suppressed his excitement and excitement.
The emergence of these two kinds of medicinal decoctions can save the limbs and lives of many injured people. This is what a doctor dreams of.
Unexpectedly, it has now been realized in his hands. Although he is only an experimenter, he is still extremely happy.
Chongzhen suddenly became energetic, with a smile on his face.
I was just about to go conquer Chahar, but I didn’t expect that medical alcohol and saline solution would produce results.
Most wounds in later generations were disinfected with iodophor, etc., and the chance of infection and suppuration was low. This was because the hospital prescribed a large number of antibiotics, penicillin and other drugs that could be eaten by the patients, such as cephalosporin, cillin, and floxacin.
Using medical alcohol and saline alone would definitely be useful, but he really didn't know how useful it would be. Now that he heard the report, it exceeded his expectations.
Now that medical alcohol and saline are effective, that is great news. As for side effects such as pain, redness, swelling, slow healing, and scarring, these are nothing compared to life.
With these two things in place, there is no need to worry about any sergeants being injured in this battle.
"Your Majesty, I sincerely request your Majesty to..."
"Not yet, at least not open to major medical clinics until the establishment slaves are eliminated!"
Chongzhen naturally knew what Zhang Jingyue was thinking, so he directly interrupted his proposal.
Infection means attrition, and they are still veterans. This has a great impact on an army, and it must not be revealed now.
But looking at Zhang Jingyue's disappointed eyes, Chongzhen continued: "Medical alcohol is not suitable, but physiological saline can be used by the common people.
However, it can only be prepared by the Research Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and then sold to medical clinics in the capital, and the formula is strictly prohibited from being leaked. "
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Don't be too quick to thank me. This thing is for the benefit of the people, but it is definitely not for personal gain. If you dare to resort to fraud and make it difficult for the people to use it, don't blame me for being rude!"
"I understand!"
"You came just in time, I was looking for you!"
Chongzhen stood up and walked out from behind the Long Case: "The Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine immediately prepared a large amount of high-temperature gauze, gold sore medicine, etc. The more the better,
If you need money, medicinal materials, tools, etc., go to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works, and they will cooperate with you! "
"In addition, you should also study whether there will be any difference in medical alcohol brewed from different materials, such as rice, wheat, barley, sorghum, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc.
Even if it's rice, let's see if there is any difference when brewed with indica rice, japonica rice, or glutinous rice. "
…
After explaining, Zhang Jingyue left, and Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen: "Big companion, send an order to Yujiufang Zhangshou, and ask him to send people to Xuanfu, Datong, and Yulin to find the general soldiers of the three towns and make every effort to produce medical alcohol for later use. !”
"By the way, Xu Guangqi is coming in!"
A few breaths after Wang Chengen left, Xu Guangqi entered Dongnuan Pavilion.
"Your Majesty, you are so happy!"
"Another happy event?"
Chongzhen was slightly startled, but then he reacted: "Xu Aiqing, it's not like he made a flintlock mine!"
"Your Majesty is wise, and I have fulfilled my mission and finally completed it within the three-month deadline.
The mine department has tested more than two hundred mines. Whether a single mine is stepped on directly or a mine field can explode within half a breath to one breath!
Judging from the current test results, there has been no misfire! "
"So good!"
Chongzhen was very happy: "Big companion, let the commanders of the Four Guards of Tengxiang and the commanders of the Forbidden Army wait for me at the Meridian Gate and follow me to the Firearms Research Institute!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Xu Guangqi again: "How big can the scope of the mine field be?"
"Back to Your Majesty, after our testing, a radius of thirty meters is the best, because individual mines in the minefield need to be strung together with ropes and connected to a mechanism.
Even if we put the rope through the bamboo, but the distance is far away, the effect is still not ideal, either it is not pulled, or the mine is pulled out of the ground. "
Chongzhen frowned slightly. These two problems were summed up as the problem of too much friction. In future generations, they would be solved in minutes.
The rope should be replaced by the extremely thin fishing line of later generations that can withstand tens of kilograms, or the bamboo threaded through the rope should be replaced by PVC plastic pipes of later generations, etc.
Although those gadgets are nothing in later generations, they are super technology in this era. Otherwise, let the enemy experience what it means to enjoy silky smoothness!
Thirty meters in radius is sixty meters in diameter.
But the problem is that thirty meters is the effective distance, so the triggering device cannot be very far in front of the minefield. Calculated this way, the effective explosion range is half the area of a circle with a radius of thirty meters, which is about...nearly 1,500 square meters , two and a half acres of land.
It is not practical to set up minefields in the vertical direction. After the enemy steps on a minefield, he will be frightened and will inevitably stop, and the minefield in front will be useless.
Moreover, the two minefields should not be too close to each other, as they may be easily detonated by the first minefield that explodes. They must be at least thirty meters apart. Even if a cavalry charge occurs, it is very likely that the second minefield in the vertical direction will not be triggered. .
Excluding the vertical direction, we can only arrange it horizontally, pull it wider, and kill as many enemies as possible at once.
In a battle involving tens of thousands of people on the grassland, the battle line can be at least several miles wide. According to the effective explosion of a radius of 30 meters, eight minefields can be laid out one mile wide.
Assuming that a minefield can handle two to three hundred people, eight means two thousand people. If it is three miles wide, thousands of people will be reimbursed at once.
Reimbursing thousands of people at once would definitely be a major blow to the enemy's morale. It would be good to be able to exert 50% of the combat power from 10%.
The morale of the opponent's side is greatly improved, and 100% of the combat power can be used to exert 120%. This is the greatest.
