Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Due to the "steamed bun incident" last night, Guo Kai and Zheng Guodong were very skeptical about the nature of their current work, and felt that doing such things at such a critical juncture would be a waste of time.

After work in the morning, the two of them agreed to go find Gao Yuan again.

"Director Gao, what did Director Zhu say?"

Gao Yuan sighed and said, "You two must cooperate with Comrade Gu Zhan's work and not make any mistakes. Do you understand?"

"understood."

When the two arrived at the laboratory, Gu Zhan was installing a microscope.

Zheng Guodong went to the other side and took out all the equipment that had not been taken out of the box. Guo Kai was interested in the microscope in Gu Zhan's hand.

After looking at it for a while, he couldn't help but say, "Comrade Gu Zhan, this is the microscope mentioned in the book, right?"

Gu Zhan had just finished the installation and looked up at Guo Kai with a smile: "Yes, do you want to come over and take a look?"

Guo Kai pointed at the microscope excitedly: "Is it okay?"

Gu Zhan chuckled and replied, "Of course you can. We will use it frequently in our future work."

Hearing Gu Zhan's words, the two of them immediately became interested. Zheng Guodong, who was also arranging the equipment on the side, was also eager to try. Seeing Guo Kai approaching, he also hurried over.

Guo Kai walked over to the microscope and squinted at the camera: "Is that how you see it?"

"Your posture is wrong. You should look into the eyepiece with your left eye and keep your right eye open. This will make it easier for you to observe and draw later. You can turn the reflector to see the bright field of view. Yes, this is the reflector." Gu Zhan corrected while guiding.

"Yes, that's right. You can adjust the magnification according to the actual situation of the object being observed."

……

After more than an hour, the two were finally able to use the microscope proficiently.

Having learned a skill, the two were very excited. The resistance that had accumulated throughout the night had almost dissipated at this moment.

Such a precious piece of equipment, the only one in the entire city of Jing, and yet they would one day be able to use it. Speaking of this, I'm afraid those who have never seen this thing would be envious to death.

Although Guo Kai is also an impatient person, he has a quick mind. After seeing what Gu Zhan has done, his understanding of Gu Zhan has changed greatly.

There is only one such device in the entire city, and this young man can use it so skillfully. I'm afraid his abilities are more than what we see now.

Maybe this person can really produce penicillin and solve the current dilemma of Xia County. If this is true, then he will be a hero of Xia County. Then won’t I have a share of the credit?

After realizing this, Guo Kai's mentality changed greatly, from resistance at the beginning to active cooperation and learning now.

Seeing his companion like this, Zheng Guodong put aside his doubts and continued to put the equipment in the box in order with Guo Kai.

Everything was ready. Guo Kai came over sweating and asked Gu Zhan: "Comrade Gu Zhan, what is our next task?"

"Wait!"

"Wait? Wait for what?" Guo Kai was anxious. In this situation, can we still wait? Do we still dare to wait?

In a state of urgency, Guo Kai said anxiously, "Comrade Gu Zhan, oxen are dying from the infection every day. We can't wait any longer."

Seeing the man in front of him look anxious and not fake, Gu Zhan put away his smile and said solemnly, "You are right. We really can't wait now. So in order to save time, we can't make any mistakes in the following procedures, otherwise all our efforts may be wasted."

"Yes!"

Conquered by Gu Zhan's unyielding tone, Guo Kai couldn't help but feel that this was the kind of person he should be.

"So what are we waiting for?"

Seeing that the two were full of doubts about the entire work process, Gu Zhan explained the overall work process and precautions of the past few days. The two listened carefully, and Guo Kai even took notes in his notebook.

Zheng Guodong was shocked after hearing this. He pointed at the steamed buns and corn covered with cloth on the wooden shelf in the laboratory and asked: "Are you saying that the green hairs that grow on steamed buns and corn can actually be used to grow penicillin?"

Gu Zhan smiled and nodded: "Yes! You can say that."

The two were very shocked that this was the preparation process of penicillin. After listening to Gu Zhan's story, they couldn't help but admire: There is always someone better than you.

The weather in early June has begun to show signs of summer. Under the suitable temperature, the growth and cultivation of strains are very gratifying.

Guo Kai and Zheng Guodong also actively learned from and consulted Gu Zhan, and Gu Zhan was also generous in giving them advice, so that in the subsequent process, Gu Zhan's burden was greatly reduced.

Finally, on the morning of the eighth day, Xia County’s first veterinary penicillin was born.

Guo Kai and Zheng Guodong nervously looked at the liquid in the container in front of them and asked excitedly, "Comrade Gu Zhan, is this done?"

Gu Zhan chuckled: "Of course. Do you think there's a problem?"

Guo Kai quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, we two just find it unbelievable that we really made this thing."

Zheng Guodong scratched the back of his head and said, "Yes, Comrade Gu Zhan, there is hope for the cattle in Xia County."

Zhu Changzhi spent the past week staring at the number of dead oxen reported by each commune, feeling extremely distressed. Therefore, he has been paying close attention to the progress of Gu Zhan.

When he learned that the results would be out in the morning, he rushed to the office early in the morning. Halfway through, his bicycle broke down, so he simply abandoned the bicycle and walked to the office.

Without time to go to the office, Zhu Changzhi went directly to the door of the laboratory and knocked on the window: "Xiao Gu, what's the result?"

Gu Zhan shifted his gaze from the test tube, walked to the window and said, "It's done."

"Xiao Gu, you are amazing."

At lunch, Zhu Changzhi asked the canteen to prepare special dishes to entertain Gu Zhan and two staff members.

"Comrade Gu Zhan, you've worked hard during this period. Come on, come on, eat your food quickly."

Zhu Changzhi picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it into the bowl in front of Gu Zhan: "Comrade Gu Zhan, how long will it take before we can use this penicillin?"

Gu Zhan frowned and thought for a moment: "If nothing unexpected happens, it will take a week."

"Okay, let's speed up."

The preparation experiments in the laboratory were very successful, and the next most difficult step is extensive cultivation outside the laboratory.

Thanks to the recent sunny weather, the temperature and humidity in Xia County are very stable. In a large and relatively closed environment, the growth of the strain is also very stable.

So when the county agricultural bureau notified all communes to come and get the medicine on the ninth day, they all didn't believe it.

There was even a commune director who called to confirm repeatedly before sending someone to pick up the medicine.
