Wang Shuhe?
"Please."
"Well...he has some..."
"Let him in first."
Could it be that the development of penicillin has achieved some results?
Until now, he has not shown any signs of discomfort, which shows that he must have died due to a sudden illness.
In this era, most of the acute illnesses that kill people are related to bacterial infections.
If there is a means to fight against it, even if it is not mature yet, there will always be more hope and security.
Liu Chan, who was eager to know the result, did not listen to the guard's words.
So after a while, a man with unkempt hair and a smelly and strange smell walked in.
Fortunately this is winter. If it were summer, there would probably be a room full of flies by now...
"Uncle He? What's wrong with you?"
Why is this look worse than the last time I was kidnapped by Chai Rong, and he was kidnapped by bandits again?
No, what kind of bandit dares to come to Chengdu to kidnap people?
Wang Xi was stunned when he heard this, spread his arms and looked at himself, then bowed and smiled bitterly: "I have thought hard day and night and tried many times. I didn't expect to be so rude. Please forgive me, Prince."
This dear friend tossed it a few times, and the smell spread even more.
But Liu Chan can understand this. Aren't most people who do research like this? At least he didn't drink ink... maybe not?
"Is there any harvest?"
Wang Xi cupped his hands and said: "There is indeed some progress, but there are also some confusions, and we don't understand the reason. Therefore, I got the method from the prince, so I came to inquire."
Then Wang Xi reported the current research progress to Liu Chan.
According to Liu Chan, since penicillium is a living thing like plants, flowers and birds, it naturally needs to eat.
Most of them grow on food, I guess. Although the prescription Liu Chan gave uses mustard greens, since it is Penicillium that works, it must be the same with food.
According to Liu Chan's method, it would take ten years to obtain a batch of "penicillium essence". After discussion, they finally came to a conclusion.
These ten years are not only to allow Penicillium to fully absorb the nutrients in mustard and grow in large quantities, but also to allow other useless or even harmful things to be eliminated, leaving only the essence of Penicillium.
That being the case, wouldn't it be possible to speed up the time it takes to get the medicine if we only need to intervene in these two things?
Wang Xi and the doctors and craftsmen who came here immediately brainstormed and took action.
So Wang Xi and other medical craftsmen screened and collected the cyan mold on the food, and discarded the other colors.
Then it was collected and put into an urn. After that, various things were tried to provide nutrients to Penicillium, such as broth, chicken blood, and even human blood...
After a lot of trial and error, they found that mixing rice juice and taro boiling juice had the best effect.
After comparison, this is much faster than burying Penicillium mustard.
Everyone was very excited, and with high enthusiasm for research, they let the solution stand for more than ten days, then filtered out the obvious impurities with bract grass, and obtained version 1.0 of penicillin.
They immediately fed it to dogs, rabbits and other animals with ulcerated wounds, waiting for a miracle to happen.
Then...most of the animals died.
Vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions and death occur in various forms.
Even for those animals that were lucky enough to survive, their festering wounds did not improve significantly.
Liu Chan's mouth twitched when he heard this. Fortunately, there are no animal protection organizations in this era...
The failure of the penicillin 1.0 test poured cold water on everyone. However, the path of medicine has always been a bit contrary to nature. In the past, when practicing medicine with his mentor, there were even more difficult times. Wang Xi did not give up because of this.
After days of discussion, everyone determined that the steps so far should be fine.
There are only two possibilities, either the prescription given by the prince is wrong, and the so-called penicillium essence is useless.
Or... maybe other steps are needed, and they haven't been able to extract the real Penicillium essence.
The first one may have been denied by Wang Xi.
When the prince discussed medicine with him before, the explanation of "external evil" was refreshing to him, and it was proved to be reasonable.
In his mind, the prince was also a medical geek, and it was impossible to deceive him with a fake prescription. Moreover, all the research expenses came from the prince, so how could he spend money to recruit people to do useless work.
However, as a result, the research and development of penicillin has reached a bottleneck. The prince is right, and their previous method should also be correct... So what is wrong?
For quite a while, research stagnated and everyone was at a loss.
Until one day, in order to relieve the dull atmosphere, a doctor told an interesting story.
A wealthy businessman kept a piece of beeswax in oil, hoping that the beeswax would keep its luster. However, when he looked at it after a while, the beeswax had melted away...
"But he doesn't know that there are soluble things in water and oil." The doctor laughed.
Wang Xi's eyes lit up and he grabbed the doctor: "What did you just say?"
"Uh... the beeswax melted into the oil."
"The last sentence!"
"...water has soluble substances, and so does oil."
Wang Xi had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly another door seemed to open in his clueless mind.
Since the essence of Penicillium is invisible to the eye, according to the prince, there are still things in this world that are so tiny that they cannot be seen.
The reason that may have caused the experiment to fail is that besides the impurities filtered out by the bracts, there may still be other useless things or even poisons in the filtered water that are invisible to the naked eye.
So...could it be that they are just different from the oil or water-soluble properties of Penicillium extract?
He explained the method he thought of to everyone, and everyone else thought it could be a try. Anyway, there was no other way now.
Everyone immediately took action, pouring the filtered juice into the oil and stirring thoroughly. After the oil and water returned to their respective places, they were taken out separately.
Moreover, they found that in addition to oil and water, there were also some insoluble things produced in the middle. This discovery increased their confidence.
Then they fed oil, water, and insoluble matter to various animals...
Animals fed oil and insoluble matter either died of vomiting or diarrhea, or it was ineffective. Repeated trials were without exception.
Among the animals fed water, although there were still some dead and ineffective, after trying a few more times... the conditions of two dogs improved significantly.
This discovery immediately made everyone feel like they had found a treasure, and it was also confirmed that the essence of Penicillium must be present in the water.
Penicillin version 2.0 was born.
"Great!" Liu Chan was overjoyed. He didn't expect the progress to be so fast.
During the Battle of Hanzhong, those soldiers who numbly watched themselves decay bit by bit and finally died seemed to still be in front of them.
The birth of penicillin can greatly increase the survival rate of wounded soldiers. If you popularize some basic health care knowledge, you will definitely be able to save many veterans in future wars.
In an army, the role of veterans is irreplaceable.
Even if there are heavy casualties, as long as some veterans survive, the generals can use this as a foundation to quickly build up a war-worthy army.
And if they are all new recruits... Liu Chan knows firsthand how slow it is from recruitment to formation of combat power.
When the technology is improved and matured and then promoted to civilian use, the population...
Moreover, you can also use this thing to blackmail Cao Wei and Soochow, only selling finished products and strictly guarding the secret recipe.
"Prince, Crown Prince?" Wang Xi looked at Liu Chan who was lost in fantasy and couldn't help but take two steps forward.
Compared to Wang Xi's call, it was the stench that hit his nostrils that pulled Liu Chan back first.
Unable to help but take two steps back, Liu Chan asked, "What?"
"This medicine is really miraculous, and it can occasionally bring people back to life. Unfortunately, it sometimes works but sometimes it doesn't work. It works only rarely, but I don't know why?" Wang Xi asked confused. If this problem can be solved, the results will be revolutionary. of.
Liu Chan thought for a while and said, "You can try to let the livestock drink alkaline water first, and then take this medicine."
There is no way to solve allergies and severe gastrointestinal reactions caused by crude purification techniques.
However, the effectiveness issue should be further improved.
As far as he knows, except for some specially processed penicillin preparations, most penicillins will be decomposed and destroyed by gastric acid, and the intestinal absorption and utilization rate is low.
But it doesn’t matter, there are always more solutions than difficulties. If the gastric acid is damaged, just neutralize it. If the intestinal absorption rate is low, just drink two more bowls...
As for allergic reactions that can kill people, just try a small amount first.
Besides, he was already dying, so a low cure rate is better than nothing.
It's always good to try your luck.
[Wang Xi’s favorability +10] (80)
[Wang Xi’s favorability is 80, constitution +5, medical talent +10×2]
[Medical talent is upgraded to excellent talent]
After asking about the reason for drinking alkaline water, Wang Xi hurriedly handed over his hands and said: "Yes, I'll try it now!"
“Don’t forget to take time to shower!”
Liu Chan waved his hand, but the smell in the room could not be dissipated... It seemed that he had to go to Da Sima's mansion to sleep today.
However, the slight smell could not affect his good mood at this time.
The military is the foundation of a force's strength or even its survival, but it is not everything.
If penicillin can be used, it would be best if Fa Zheng can also use it. It will not only save Lao Liu and himself a top strategist.
He also wanted to use this incident to alleviate some of Confucian suppression of other disciplines.
Lay a foundation for improving Ji Han's comprehensive national strength in all aspects in the future.
Thank you to the "Holy Yellow" boss for 1,500 points to inject money into the Jihan Armed Group again. Your points will be used for the expansion of the Red Star Army. Thank you for your support~
