Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

"What the hell? I provided you with ten kilograms of sugar, but you didn't even produce a single tube of penicillin. Did I hear you right?"

Lin Zhenhua looked at Wang Xuecheng in shock, which made Wang Xuecheng feel embarrassed. He lowered his head and said, "College student, we really didn't make it, not even one. We made it strictly according to what you said, but we only produced some mold. If you don't believe me, you can come with me to the production room to take a look!"

Lin Zhenhua replied doubtfully, "Doctor Wang, it's not that I doubt your ability. I feel that even if it's a child of a few years old, if he follows the method I said, he should have a 50% success rate. But the three of you are doctors and nurses, and you didn't succeed once. This makes me wonder if you are just going through the motions!"

Wang Xuecheng knew that it was useless to explain further, so he pulled Lin Zhenhua to the culture room and pointed to the hundreds of jars in front of him and said, "College student, look at these finished products. We strictly followed your steps. The results are right in front of us. We have nothing to say!"

Lin Zhenhua picked up one of the jars and took a look, and found that there was no Penicillium on it at all, but instead Aspergillus flavus. This made him very depressed. He checked the other jars and found the same thing.

Lin Zhenhua touched his chin and said suspiciously, "Could it be related to the container? We used glass bottles and a small number of jars before, but this time we used all jars, but none of them succeeded. If it doesn't work, we can use glass bottles to burn some glassware and try again!"

"Doctor Wang, I just checked the situation and it's just as you said. Not a single jar was successful! I'll try to get a batch of glassware out today to see if it's a problem with the containers!"

"You must keep the penicillin I gave you before. It is a life-saving medicine. I will take over the production of penicillin from now on. Your medical team will be responsible for checking the soldiers' bodies first. At the same time, you must organize the medicinal materials and learn more about Chinese medicine to be prepared. After all, there is a shortage of everything in this mountain, except medicinal materials!"

"We can't just wait for Western medicine. We also have to pick up the traditional Chinese medicine from our ancestors. I happen to have a prescription here that is specifically for treating colds. You can prepare some in advance."

Wang Xuecheng said yes repeatedly, and he began to move the jars out of the culture room to make room for Lin Zhenhua's subsequent production.

Lin Zhenhua came to the newly built small earthen kiln in the back mountain and collected the glass fragments in the village. People in this era were very poor and could not afford glass products. They usually used earthenware or pottery. After strolling around the village, he only found a few wine bottles, which made Lin Zhenhua a little at a loss for a moment.

"I originally wanted to recycle the broken glass and make glassware, but now we don't even have enough raw materials. It's really hard for a good cook to cook without rice! I remember learning the production process of glass in high school. Oh, I remember it now. It seems that what the old people said is true. If you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel around the world! If you learn math, physics and chemistry well, you will not be afraid to travel through time and space!"

Lin Zhenhua quickly found two soldiers to look for quartz ore with him. After walking around for a while, they found nothing. Instead, they found quartz sand on the river beach. This made him very excited and he said, "Li Sanwa, go back and call people over. Remember to bring a sieve and have everyone wear gloves. We're going to be busy on the river beach all day today!"

Li Sanwa called the soldiers from the second and third rows to help, which greatly accelerated the collection of quartz sand. After a whole day of hard work, they finally got enough for the kiln.

Early the next morning, Lin Zhenhua started to burn the kiln and make glass. Fortunately, he was lucky and succeeded on the first try. He quickly asked people to blow air with their cheeks to make flasks. After another busy day, he finally produced several hundred glassware.

"Doctor Wang, Sister Tian, ​​you must learn from me carefully this time. Every step is critical and determines whether the Penicillium can be produced!"

"The first step is to disinfect. Hot water at 60 to 70 degrees can kill a large number of bacteria. This is very important. I looked at your culture records these two days and found that you did not do a good job in the disinfection process. It is very likely that this is the reason for the failure last time!"

"Next, let's talk about the culture medium. You must strictly follow the ratio I told you to mix. There can't be the slightest mistake. You can't rely on your feelings. You must weigh it accurately."

"Sister Tian, ​​please be careful. You are doing it wrong. You can't wipe your hands on clothes just because they are dirty. Isn't that the same as not disinfecting them? And Dr. Wang, why are you doing the same thing? You two are worse than children. It really makes me angry!"

Lin Zhenhua almost couldn't help but touch his forehead, but when he thought about the culture medium he was making, he quickly pulled his hand back and shouted, "Let's do it again. Follow my hand step by step. You two should do whatever I do. We have to succeed this time. If we fail, all this sugar will be wasted. It's a crime!"

Under Lin Zhenhua's stern tone, Wang Xuecheng and Tian Xiao'e made no more mistakes in the operations below. They finally completed the production of more than 80 culture media and placed the Penicillium strains on them. Then the three of them left the culture room.

"Doctor Wang, Sister Tian, ​​if you are free these few days, please come to the culture room and observe according to the key points I have explained to you. If there are any problems, notify me in time!"

"Okay, college student! Go and do other things. The two of us will never be as careless as before!"

Lin Zhenhua came to the submachine gun production room. The soldiers were using the simple grinder he had made before to grind the cavity casting. Driven by the gear set and the worm gear, one gun body after another was grinded out. They only needed to weld the barrel on and install the firing pin, and a simple beggar version of the submachine gun was produced.

"Comrades, do as I told you before, one person completes one process, we have to produce all these 100 seamless steel tubes into submachine guns. This time I also accidentally found these gun barrels in the Huang family's old house, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to continue producing submachine guns, but with this batch of gun barrels, it's different. Once all of them are produced, we can each have a submachine gun. Even if a squadron of Japanese devils comes, we dare to fight them head-on!"

"The iron ore in the back mountain is being mined. I have arranged for people to make coke. In two or three days, we will be able to start making steel. With good steel, we will be able to manufacture mortars soon!"

"Everyone, work harder! When Captain Li comes back, we'll surprise him and see who's better. Whoever wins can eat meat for a month straight. Just for the sake of meat, we can't lose!"

"Okay, we will definitely be able to defeat the leader, and we will have meat to eat every day from now on!"
