Chapter 421 Project No. 1: Research and Development of Penicillin
Looking at the bargaining man in front of him, Kong Hao was speechless. Liu Desheng was eliminated at the beginning because of his eccentric personality and his chatterbox nature. He didn't expect that after so much time, he still hasn't changed at all.
So he said with a dark face: "Wrong is wrong, rules are rules, follow orders, no bargaining is allowed."
"Secretary Wen, bring out the special pass."
Next, Liu Desheng looked at the three special passes carefully over and over again with a sad face before returning them.
"Document verification passed, released."
Kong Hao then showed a satisfied expression, and then he walked into the secret base.
With this lesson, no matter who comes in the future, this second line of defense will act in accordance with the confidentiality code and the same problem will never occur again.
In fact, Kong Hao did this on purpose, because the base had just been established and many things were not very perfect, especially the guards. Many of them were transferred directly from combat troops, and many of them had not changed their mindsets. All of these took time.
He can identify relevant problems through inspection and solve them in a timely manner. Only in this way can each department become more and more formalized.
The person in charge of the base was named Ma. When he learned from the guard that the chief consultant had arrived, he put down his work and went to the gate to greet him.
However, according to regulations, he could not show up outside and could only wait inside the gate.
"Chief Counsel, I've finally got you here."
"Lao Ma, what is the current progress of Project No. 1?"
"The finished product has been synthesized, and we are just waiting for you to come over and confirm it."
"Well, you lead the way, and we'll start with the most basic Penicillium culture."
"Okay, come with me."
The so-called Project No. 1 is penicillin, currently known as penicillin internationally. It is the best anti-inflammatory drug and its efficacy is much stronger than sulfa tablets.
In fact, when Kong Hao first entered the arsenal, he had already started planning the development of penicillin. Of course, it was just a crude method.
However, even the most advanced laboratory in Eagle Country can only extract a small amount in the laboratory, and the arsenal actually has some advantages.
After all, Kong Hao has the experience of later generations, and even industrial mass production can exchange corresponding technologies through the system, so there is no bottleneck at all.
Kong Hao's plan is to take it step by step, lay a solid foundation for each step, and when the time is ripe, he will naturally break through to large-scale industrial synthesis.
Otherwise, it would be a bit strange to suddenly come up with a large-scale penicillin production line that is not available overseas.
Moreover, we can lay the foundation for the future development of other drugs through continuous experiments. Anyway, with the existence of Kong Hao's BUG, we basically won't take any detours.
Previously, due to insufficient experimental equipment, we could only carry out preliminary fermentation culture of Penicillium. We tried to use various raw materials to cultivate various Penicillium and compare their advantages and disadvantages.
Only after the most advanced laboratory equipment was shipped back did the subsequent steps begin slowly, and today is the day to produce results.
"General Consultant, after we tested a large number of raw materials, we found that using moldy citrus peels can extract a large amount of mold, which is much better than some other materials."
"However, the Arsenal does not have much of this in stock at the moment. Political Commissar Qin has already sent people to other places to purchase it. Fresh citrus peels are best, but dried citrus peels are also OK. This way we can ensure that we can ferment and cultivate Penicillium all year round."
"Also, using moldy steamed buns will work just as well, and there will be no restrictions on the raw materials."
"And the cantaloupe you mentioned before, because we haven't found such a thing yet, the relevant experiments have not been carried out yet."
After listening to this, Kong Hao nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly the result he wanted.
Through various verifications, we can find the most suitable raw materials among a variety of materials. In this process, we can cultivate relevant experience for our technicians and improve their skills.
"Old Ma, all test data must be recorded in detail, and these data must be kept absolutely confidential. No one is allowed to take them out of the base."
"In addition, if necessary, you can do more comparison tests. Don't be afraid of failure or waste of materials. All the efforts will be worth it."
Lao Ma quickly nodded and agreed, then took Kong Hao to the next step:
"For the Penicillium culture medium, we grind rice into juice, add sweet potato and corn juice to make a mixed solution, and evenly sprinkle the previously collected mold on it for cultivation."
"After about a week, the culture is complete. The next step is to filter, extract and concentrate the culture medium, and finally adsorb and elute it to obtain the substance we want."
After listening to Director Ma's introduction to the entire penicillin production process, Kong Hao also put forward some of his own insights, which were basically based on some later experiences.
About an hour later, Director Ma and Kong Hao came to a laboratory and took out a bottle of finished penicillin and introduced it:
"This is the final product we purified by adjusting the pH value of the solution. This is also the pH value that our technicians accidentally adjusted, and it crystallized smoothly."
"We conducted injection experiments on mice and found that the effect was very significant. The inflamed wounds on the mice healed easily, which also proved that this is an extremely useful anti-inflammatory drug."
"At the same time, we also conducted a comparative experiment between penicillin and sulfa powder and found that penicillin is much more effective than sulfa tablets in killing wounds, and it also works faster."
"Now all that's left is clinical trials, but I'm still a little worried. If something goes wrong with this kind of thing, it will be a huge trouble."
Abroad, it takes half a year or even a year for a new drug to enter human clinical trials, but our troops don't have time.
Now the troops are fighting every day, and soldiers die every day due to wound inflammation. Our hospital cannot even supply sulfa powder in large quantities, and basically we use some Chinese herbal medicines.
Although Chinese herbal medicine can also kill bacteria, its effect is too slow. Many soldiers who had successful operations basically did not survive the post-operative infection.
Penicillin has been developed now, although it has only passed animal experiments, but we can't worry about that now.
However, Kong Hao is not a reckless person, and he will not joke with the lives of the soldiers.
"Brother Tongzi, please help me check if this bottle of penicillin in my hand can treat wound infection. Also, if it is injected, will it have any effect on the soldiers' health?"
He is a man with cheats. Nothing is more authoritative than the system's detection. This is also Kong Hao's greatest confidence.
