Anti-Japanese War, weapons designer at Fengtian Arsenal

Li Qinwu found Doctor Li and said, "Doctor Li, take us on a tour to see how your research is going."

Doctor Li nodded, led Li Qinwu into the operating room, pointed to the two bodies on the operating table and said, "I am trying to find a way to overcome the rejection problem of organ transplantation, but it is a pity that these two "volunteers" have dedicated themselves to medicine.

In addition, I am also studying lung cancer and kidney failure. I want to see what methods can be used to solve these two problems.

Many of the people in the rubber factory run by the supervisor suffer from lung cancer and kidney failure. I have many research subjects, and I believe that it won’t be long before I can develop an effective solution.”

Doctor Li's words made Li Qinwu scratch his head.

These problems have not been solved now, not even in the future with advanced technology. He felt that Doctor Li was a bit fanciful, and this was not what the people today needed.

"Doctor Li, your research is too abstract. Uh... I mean, you should focus your research on diseases that have been solved in later generations, and bring those solutions to the present era to benefit the people of this era, such as the mass production of sulfa and the development of penicillin..."

"I have already invented penicillin."

Li Qinwu's words were interrupted, and he looked confused. Was penicillin developed so quickly?

Doctor Li saw Li Qinwu's expression and he spread his hands.

"Boss, you don't think it's that difficult to make penicillin, do you? The difficulty lies in discovering this thing. After discovering it, it is very simple to cultivate penicillin. Even in ancient times, it can be made."

Seeing is believing. Doctor Li pulled Li Qinwu into a room full of glassware. On one of the shelves were more than 100 round glassware, and there was some mucus in the vessels.

Doctor Li picked up a glass container and placed it in front of Li Qinwu.

Li Qinwu looked at the container. There was some unknown mucus at the bottom of the container, and there were some things in the mucus that looked like mycelium.

It's just that these hyphae are attached to the edge of the glass container, but there is no hyphae in the middle part, which makes it look very pure.

Doctor Li explained: "This is a petri dish containing Staphylococcus aureus. I use it to test whether penicillin has bactericidal effect.

See the turbidity around the solution? This proves that the staphylococci have been eliminated by penicillin, and the efficacy of penicillin is guaranteed!"

Li Qinwu didn't understand, but he was so shocked that his breathing became heavier.

Now the price of Huang An's medicine is higher than gold, so what about penicillin, which is more effective than sulfa? How much wealth will it bring him after mass production?

“Is penicillin ready for mass production?”

Li Qinwu asked with a trembling voice.

Doctor Li did not disappoint him and nodded.

“I have done animal experiments and the sterilization effect is good, so it can be put into mass production.

I suggest that we start penicillin production now. Boss, send someone to buy orange and sugar cane nut shells."

Li Qinwu asked in confusion: "Why do you want to buy these things?"

Doctor Li explained: "Oranges can be used to collect penicillin. If you place the oranges in a well-ventilated place and let them grow mold, the collected penicillin will be the purest.

Sugarcane juice is squeezed, filtered, and used to make culture medium.

There are many gaps inside the nut shells, which are used to burn activated carbon, which is used to purify penicillin.

In addition, the penicillin factory must be sterile and equipped with air conditioning to control the indoor temperature at 25 degrees, which is the optimal growth temperature for penicillin.

Finally, it’s the matter of the Punishment Army. Boss, you need to think carefully about how to keep this wealth.”

In response to this question, Li Qinwu just laughed. Now the strength of the Punishment Army has reached 5 people. If he wants to increase the number of troops, it can be increased to 10 within half a year. With such a family background, if he still can't keep this wealth, then he can just find a piece of tofu and kill himself.

Li Qinwu immediately assigned a task to Li Hanchao, who was constructing a building on the island space, and asked him to build a sterile factory to mass-produce penicillin immediately!

Li Qinwu planned to put the first batch of penicillin into the clinic affiliated with Longlong Convenience Store, so that the clinic would have one more drug to use and the people would have one more protection when they get sick.

As for the price, we sell it to ordinary people at a low price, about one cent a grain. If they really have no money, a bag of rice or a dozen eggs will do.

However, Li Qinwu had thought it through. The people who bought penicillin could not take it away. They could only buy two pills at a time, and had to swallow them under the supervision of a doctor in the clinic to prevent someone from reselling them to foreign countries and taking advantage of his conscience.

Of course, they also need to explore foreign markets, but he hasn't figured out how to do that yet.

Li Qinwu was unable to calm down for a while. He didn't expect to get such a big surprise after a tour of the medical laboratory.

Next, under the guidance of Doctor Li, Li Qinwu and others continued their tour.

Li Qinwu discovered that Doctor Li was very concerned about medical problems that have not been solved by later generations, such as cancer, kidney failure, liver failure, organ transplant rejection, congenital intellectual disabilities, human bioelectric principles, neurological diseases, etc.

In short, he was very interested in very high-end things and was a bit disdainful of projects that were solved in later generations.

If he really solved these problems, it would be awesome. It's just a pity that his research is destined not to cause any waves in this land, because the people nowadays are troubled by more widespread diseases with higher mortality rates.

For example, dysentery, parasites, plague, smallpox, cholera, typhoid, leprosy, the scope of impact and lethality of these things are much more deadly than kidney failure, liver failure, cancer, etc.

Li Qinwu said in a suggestive tone: "Doctor Li, it's not that I don't support your research, but the people nowadays are troubled by some more common diseases.

I mean, while you're doing all that great cutting-edge medical research, can you spare a little time to look into how to solve these diseases that plague the people?

I will send you more people and more financial support, what do you think?"

Doctor Li thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then Boss, give me three intelligent brothers and 300 ordinary brothers. It's such a large research institute, and I can't run it alone. If there are more people who can be used, I can carry out multiple projects at the same time."

Li Qinwu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately created 303 clones according to his request.

The tour ended here. Before leaving, Li Qinwu asked Doctor Li: "What do you think of Chinese medicine?

It is foreseeable that within 30 or even 50 years, my country’s medical system will not be able to improve rapidly, and traditional Chinese medicine will still be the first choice for the people, or there is no choice.

I am planning to have someone compile a guide book similar to the Barefoot Doctors Manual. What do you think of this?"

Doctor Li was silent for a long time, and then he said, "Take the essence and discard the dross."

(ps: I think it is necessary to stack nails to save life. First of all, Dr. Li is a modern medicine practitioner. He is superstitious about modern medicine and thinks that Chinese medicine is empirical. He does not like natural medicine.

Secondly, the protagonist Li Qinwu is a pragmatist. Whether it is modern medicine or traditional Chinese medicine, he believes that it should be promoted as long as it can cure diseases.

The two people have different attitudes. I wanted to highlight the contradictions when writing the novel. The protagonist has been trying to get a barefoot doctor's manual, which treats diseases according to local conditions, and many of them are traditional Chinese medicine. The protagonist will go to the United States to open a medical management program, and traditional Chinese medicine is still very powerful in nursing and chronic diseases.

I am also thinking of a plot where Dr. Li combines modern medicine with traditional Chinese medicine to create a new drug. That’s all I have to say.)
