Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy
Chapter 357 Artemisinin
Song Jinxiu casually transplanted some Artemisia annua into the space. She, her sister, Su Chuan, and the thirty-six guards each carried a bundle back to the camp.
To extract artemisinin, alcohol is needed. Fortunately, she had stored a lot of alcohol in her space for this trip to southern Xinjiang.
He ordered the thirty-six guards to clean and dry the collected Artemisia annua.
After drying, it is crushed and then added with alcohol for soaking and extraction.
Song Jinxiu uses the continuous extraction method, which is to use new solvents for extraction multiple times to increase the concentration of artemisinin in the solvent.
The extracted artemisinin solution is distilled to remove impurities and obtain relatively pure artemisinin.
While ordering her men to continue refining artemisinin, Song Jinxiu took the time to enter the space and try to use the extracted artemisinin to refine new detoxification pills.
It took a whole hour to refine a furnace of pills, and eighteen pills were made.
The efficiency of alchemy is still too low. There are more than 100,000 soldiers in the Dingguo Army, and at least a quarter of them are plague soldiers. It is definitely not possible for her to refine the alchemy alone to treat them.
At this moment, there was a commotion in the Tenth Army camp.
"An Yi, go and see what happened to the Tenth Army?"
An Yi took the order and left, and came back soon.
"Master, there's a patient convulsing. I'm afraid he's dying."
Song Jinxiu quickly stood up and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Song Jinxiu packed up the remaining artemisinin and said, "Take it all with you. If this medicine works, then we can control the epidemic."
The whole way was filled with smoke, which was the smell of soldiers burning mugwort.
"Doctor Hu, you can't just ignore it. Please, give our Lü Zushuai an injection."
Zushuai is the name given by subordinates to centurions.
It seems that the one who is seriously ill is a centurion.
"Stop, stop pulling me. I'm in great pain right now. I'm shivering, how can I give him acupuncture? Besides, he took the detoxification pill, so it's fate that he can't make it. I really can't do anything."
When Song Jinxiu arrived, several soldiers were struggling with an old man in a cotton coat.
"Stop it! Don't be rude in front of His Highness." Su Chuan said coldly with a tense face.
Everyone was startled and realized that several people had arrived.
The eldest princess and her companions had also seen her from afar. She was surrounded by a group of black-clad guards, and they, the soldiers, did not dare to get close to her.
Unexpectedly, the high and mighty Princess suddenly appeared here, and they hurriedly saluted in a panic.
A soldier kowtowed and cried, "Your Highness, please order Doctor Hu to perform acupuncture. Please save our Lü Zushu."
Song Jinxiu quickly took out two bamboo tubes of bodhi leaf water, took out two freshly refined pills and handed them to An Yi, "Doctor Hu and Captain Lu, take one each. Take them with this water."
If it is malaria, the pills with artemisinin can quickly kill the malarial parasites and control the disease.
If it is not malaria, the heat-clearing and detoxifying function of the pill can also help the patient.
At least this pill is quite effective in reducing fever.
Doctor Hu picked up the pill and did not dare to refuse it under Song Jinxiu's gaze. He drank a big sip of water from the bamboo tube.
As the pill entered his stomach, he suddenly felt a cool sensation and the chills in his body felt much better.
Doctor Hu, who knew medicine, immediately realized that this elixir was extraordinary and was probably given by the palace to the eldest princess. Unexpectedly, the eldest princess gave it to him, a military doctor, without even blinking an eye.
Doctor Hu was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
The soldier also fed the pill to the centurion.
Seeing that both of them had taken the medicine, she took out the remaining artemisinin and asked the other soldiers to take it.
When Xiao Kuishan rushed over after receiving the news, Song Jinxiu was looking at Doctor Hu and several epidemic soldiers with concern.
She was waiting for the medicine to take effect.
In less than half an hour, Doctor Hu felt completely relaxed, his muscles no longer tense or achy. This imperial medicine was truly extraordinary.
He hurriedly felt the pulse of Captain Lu, then came out with a look of surprise and knelt down.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for the miraculous medicine."
Song Jinxiu looked at him: "How do you feel?"
Doctor Hu quickly said, "I feel much more relaxed. I no longer feel the chills, and I have strength. Captain Lu's fever has also subsided, and he's fallen asleep."
"The effect is so fast?" Everyone looked over in disbelief.
Song Jinxiu nodded. Some diseases, once treated symptomatically, are very effective. Artemisinin is an effective treatment for malaria.
"Well, take their pulse again." Song Jinxiu pointed at the soldiers who had drunk artemisinin.
When the epidemic soldiers heard their conversation, they hurriedly and obediently lined up to wait for their pulse to be taken. They had also more or less felt the changes in their bodies, so when their eyes met, they all looked surprised.
After taking their pulses, Doctor Hu smiled and nodded, saying, "Their pulses are much more stable and stronger. It seems their symptoms have improved a lot, and they no longer have fevers."
"Yes, yes, I feel much more relaxed too."
"Yeah, I don't have a headache anymore. I really don't have a headache anymore."
"Me too, it's not that bad anymore."
Song Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
At this point, she was already certain that these people had malaria.
The most effective and convenient treatment for malaria is artemisinin.
Artemisinin can quickly kill malaria parasites. Once the parasites die, the person will recover immediately.
Computer-generated data shows that most patients recover within one or two days, but severe cases may take seven or eight days.
The significant effect on the epidemic soldiers may be due to the high quality of the artemisinin she extracted and the different tolerance of the soldiers' bodies.
Song Jinxiu instructed Xiao Kuishan, "General Xiao, pass the order down. Set up camp away from sewage sources, drink boiled water, and use wormwood to prevent mosquito bites. Send people to buy wine and water, and collect a large amount of Artemisia annua. I want to extract artemisinin, which can treat toxic diseases."
"Yes."
Xiao Kuishan hurriedly spoke in a loud voice to give orders to his men.
I heard that the princess was using Artemisia annua to treat poison disorders, and that the effect was amazing, even better than the detoxification pill.
The soldiers were immediately excited. They told each other and formed teams and batches to pick Artemisia annua overnight.
With Artemisia annua, everyone divided the work and cooperated to clean and chop it, and followed the Thirty-Six Guards to learn how to extract and separate it.
Song Jinxiu explained to a group of soldiers how to distill alcohol from wine. Occasionally, she would enter the space to refine a few furnaces of artemisinin detoxification pills.
Three days later, most of the soldiers who had taken artemisinin had recovered and joined in the work of collecting Artemisia annua.
Only a few critically ill patients are still resting in bed, but their conditions have all improved significantly.
Without the suppression of the huge mountain of poison barrier, the soldiers all had light in their eyes and walked with confidence. The whole camp was bustling with activity.
Even the soldiers on patrol carried a bundle of Artemisia annua on their backs when they came back to change shifts.
"Hey, you're responsible for patrolling, you can't do two things at once."
"Don't worry, we're just using Artemisia annua as camouflage."
"Tsk, I wouldn't believe you."
"Hehe, Artemisia annua is a weed that can be found everywhere in the fields and forests. I didn't expect it could actually treat poison disorders."
"You said that our Princess can even cure poisonous obstacles. Isn't that more powerful than the Saint of Southern Border?"
"Bah! What's the Saint of Southern Border? How can that vicious old witch compare to our goddess-like Princess?"
Looking at these soldiers who had regained their energy, Song Jinxiu happily began to study pesticides.
