Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

The technology for refining sulfanilamide is actually very mature in our base, and the output is also very large. It will definitely be provided in large quantities to other Chinese troops and civilians.

The military previously spent a lot of money to import anti-inflammatory drugs such as sulfa from abroad, and even if they had money, they might not be able to buy large quantities of drugs.

Now, we can buy better quality sulfa drugs at basically one-third of the previous price. In addition to purchasing other medical equipment, the money saved can also be used to purchase various military supplies we produce.

We can use this analogy to say that before, spending one hundred dollars could improve the combat effectiveness of our entire army by one point, but now it can improve it by about three points, and the funds obtained from our base can improve our own troops by ten points.

This forms a positive cycle. We dig out a large amount of high-quality ore from the ground, smelt various raw materials, and then transport them to factories across the country to produce various industrial products to enhance China's overall strength.

But all this is done quietly, and our core base is guarded by a large number of our intelligence personnel, making it difficult for the enemy to make progress in obtaining our top-secret intelligence.

In addition, the enemy's current intelligence focus is now on Southeast Asia. The various resources there have made the little guys salivate, and they simply look down on the mediocre industries in our base.

Another benefit of being able to produce in large quantities in our base is that the burden on the people is greatly reduced. People can basically go to the clinic to see a doctor for minor illnesses, and they don't have to bear the consequences themselves, causing minor illnesses to develop into major ones.

Of course, having said that, during this period, penicillin was still extremely precious, and the ones we produced were only for internal use and rarely sold to the outside world.

It is understandable that the Military Control Commission's Hunter Knife did not think of this. After all, such scarce items are not available in large quantities even at their headquarters in the mountain city.

Jiu Zhang came up to him and whispered, "This is penicillin. We got it with great difficulty. If the situation wasn't so dire, I wouldn't be willing to take it out."

When he heard the word "penicillin", Lao Ma immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

The main reason is that although he has never seen this thing in real life, he has heard of its effects. It is an anti-inflammatory drug that is ten times more powerful than sulfa drugs.

"This, this, how do you have such a good thing? This is too extravagant. I don't know how to thank you."

"Penicillin is extremely rare on the market. I've never heard of anyone selling it. I heard before that a wealthy businessman in the city offered more than two large yellow croakers to treat his son's injury, but in the end he didn't get it."

This time, Jiuzhang took out five of them at once. These were medicines worth ten large yellow croakers, which was a sky-high price. Even if the Military Control Commission was willing to spend the money, they couldn't find the corresponding channels.

After all, this kind of thing would probably only appear occasionally in the black market, but once it appeared, it would definitely be bought within an hour. By the time they received the news and rushed over with the gold, it would probably be too late.

Moreover, this kind of thing is used to save lives. One is equivalent to an extra life. Rich people buy it for self-defense. No one will resell it easily.

Of course, if you really calculate it, a member of the Night Owl Operations Team is definitely worth this price, but the key is that they simply don't have such channels.

Jiu Zhang said with a hint of meaning, "Sometimes human life is the most precious thing. We can still find ways to buy this kind of medicine from other places. We still have some in stock. Saving lives is the most important thing now."

At this moment, Lie Dao felt mixed emotions. He knew this truth, but his own strength did not allow it.

Suddenly he came up with a good idea, so he quickly asked:

"Since you have the channels to get this scarce medicine back, could you spare us a few for emergency use? The price is negotiable, how about two large yellow croakers for one?"

To be honest, there are too many people who need something like penicillin, and everyone wants to carry one or two with them in case of emergency.

Although the two big yellow croakers were worth a lot of money, he could still afford them with his family background. If he bought one or two and kept them with him, he wouldn't have to worry too much even if he encountered danger in the future.

After hearing this, Jiu Zhang immediately thought of the task assigned by his superiors, so he smiled and said:

"Lao Ma, we're already so familiar with each other, it's a bit awkward to talk about that. We also have a certain quota of this penicillin every month, so I can give out five bottles every month. Each bottle doesn't need two large yellow croakers, just one will be enough."

Across the country, many of our intelligence officers received the same mission: to find ways to sell some penicillin to obtain development funds.

The wealthy businessman mentioned earlier was also sold one by us through someone else, and it cured his son's injuries. However, he was asked to keep it confidential afterwards, so outsiders did not know the inside story.

But now is not the time to put it on the market on a large scale. Once the Japanese or foreign powers know that our base can produce penicillin on a large scale, we will face huge troubles.

In times of war, apart from munitions, the most valuable things are medicines, especially penicillin. This good thing cannot be mass-produced even in foreign countries.

At this time, we must learn to develop in a low-key manner, and wait until our enemies take action in the Pacific and Southeast Asia, and then gradually demonstrate some advanced things.

By that time, the entire Blue Planet would probably be in chaos, and foreign powers would have little time to pay attention to what is happening here. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

After hearing this, Hunter Knife immediately fell into ecstasy. He had originally wanted to buy one or two as a reserve, but he didn't expect the other party to give him such a big surprise.

Being able to obtain five every month means they have five more lives, and they can obtain them continuously, which is the most important thing.

As for a penicillin and a yellow croaker, the hunting knife said that it was not enough at all, and it was even extremely cheap.

He could easily find a way to get two back to the mountain city and sell them for two gold bars, which would mean he would get two for free every month.

Of course, no one would be willing to do this unless they have to. Penicillin is a priceless good thing that cannot be compared with a mere yellow croaker. This also represents favors, huge favors.

Next, the two discussed other things for a while, and Jiuzhang went to another secret base, which was a place specially provided for the treatment of the wounded of the Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

The Military Control Commission and the Central Control Commission have always been at odds with each other, so it is better not to let them stay together to avoid uncontrollable situations.

The next morning, the people of Shanghai started their day as usual.
