People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

Since receiving two system-rewarded upgrades to analytical capabilities.

Aside from the one instance where steel technology was used, Lin Yi had been thinking about how to develop a quick and easy project to solve his current funding shortage.

Over the past few days, I've had a few thoughts on this.

After a brief examination, he rejected them all one by one.

There are systematic capabilities to provide assistance, and there are no problems with the technology and production processes.

However, some of his ideas were ahead of their time and somewhat out of touch with the current level of technology.

To address these shortcomings... is a systemic project, not something that can be accomplished overnight.

This also means that the possibility of a quick and easy solution has been lost.

The textile equipment and steelmaking industries that he is currently promoting are already industries with a certain foundation.

Therefore, as long as he comes up with new technologies for the product, everything will fall into place naturally; all he needs to do is organize the raw materials and production equipment.

Lin Yi has been troubled by this matter for the past few days.

Unexpectedly, Uncle Nan's illness gave him inspiration.

He vaguely remembered the name penicillin.

Its main component is penicillin.

When it first came out, it was more valuable than gold.

He was only unsure about the exact year it was born.

So, Uncle Nan was practically dragged into the car by him, and they headed straight for St. Mary's Hospital.

After a brief examination, the foreign doctor also said that there was no major problem.

No hospitalization was required; they simply prescribed medication.

"Doctor, which of these medicines is an anti-inflammatory?"

I glanced at the prescription and saw that neither penicillin nor penicillin was listed.

This immediately put Lin Yi at ease.

"Prontosil is the latest anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drug, and also the most effective one."

The foreign doctor explained it very enthusiastically.

Before ending, he didn't forget to boast: "Currently, in the entire city of Shanghai... no, in the entire China, only our St. Mary's has this kind of medicine."

"Thank you."

Lin Yi had a big smile on his face.

He hadn't heard of the name before, but as long as it was the most effective anti-inflammatory drug available, it would be fine.

Therefore, there's no need to inquire about penicillin or penicillin anymore.

It certainly hasn't been born yet.

Lin Mansion, study.

The process was as simple as ever.

After specifying a single Berlantex pill, the relevant information appeared in Lin Yi's mind.

First came the technical analysis of Bailangduoxi, followed by the upgrade.

As Lin Yide expected, it was indeed technical data on penicillin.

Lin Yi, who only had a basic grasp of chemistry and the periodic table, could only understand a rough outline of it.

But that's not important; leave professional matters to professionals.

He has a collaboration with Shanghai University, so he can organize the data and use the university's human resources to build a technical team.

The only thing he needed to consider was secrecy.

Not only must the production technology be kept strictly confidential.

Even the production base must be kept strictly confidential.

This is a proprietary technology, and penicillin has a very wide range of applications.

It is not only a holy medicine for reducing inflammation, but it can also cure the venereal disease that Lin Fang was previously diagnosed with.

That's why it was priced higher than gold when the product was first launched.

Moreover, the market will not be limited to China.

Even if it were taken abroad, it would definitely be a hot commodity.

Before similar products appeared, this was a hen that laid golden eggs like crazy.

There's an old saying: "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."

There will definitely be many people eyeing this hen.

He is still too weak now, and his ability to protect himself is seriously insufficient.

Faced with so many bloodthirsty gluttons, there was virtually no way to defend against them.

Therefore, maintaining strict secrecy from the very beginning, keeping people guessing about the truth, is undoubtedly the most effective way to protect oneself.

The production base must be kept secret, and the sales network must be kept secret.

If we can stall for a year or two, by then he will have grown stronger and, even if he is exposed, he will have some ability to defend himself.

As he was pondering these things, Fang Chang, who had become elusive these past few days, suddenly pushed open the door and walked in.

"I've found a secret training base."

Lin Yi: "..."

"On an island."

"I stopped there when I tried to kill you at sea last time."

"The island is not large, with dense forests and complex terrain, and there are only seven or eight fishing households."

"Even by steamship, it would take a whole day to get to Shanghai."

"So, as long as we relocate the fishermen, no one will go there normally."

"I think it's a good fit."

"……sure."

Lin Yi paused for a moment before nodding and smiling.

A secret training base means it can also become a secret production base.

It's like someone just handed you a pillow when you're about to fall asleep.

Fang Chang, this terminally mentally ill patient, is definitely my lucky charm!

So early the next morning, Lin Yi set off with Fang Chang.

The boat was hired by Fang Chang himself.

Just as he said, they set off at dawn and didn't arrive at the nameless island until the moonlight covered the sea with a layer of silver scales.

The island is not large, only about two square kilometers.

Four-fifths of the area is covered by lush, complex mountain forests.

Just as Fang Chang said, it is indeed an ideal training ground for special mountain warfare.

Although the area available for production activities is not large, it is more than enough for Lin Yi to build his secret pharmaceutical factory.

He never intended for this project to be large-scale right from the start.

The reason why penicillin is more expensive than gold is because it is rare.

If it's too easy to buy, the price can't stay high.

So even if he expands the scale, the overall profit may not necessarily increase much as the selling price decreases.

It also undermines his principle of confidentiality.

Small investment, high returns – it's definitely the best choice.

As for the few fishing families on the island moving out, that's an extremely simple matter.

This place is sparsely populated and life is inconvenient.

So as long as the money is right, and they are also provided with a place that can guarantee their livelihood in the future, they will definitely be happy.

"The secret base is set up here. What else do you need me to do?"

"Training equipment, including weapons."

When it comes to getting down to business, Fang Chang is quite normal.

The thought process is also very clear.

“I have carefully studied the training methods and action procedures you mentioned. Equipment is crucial.”

"No problem, I'll take care of it as soon as possible."

Lin Yi readily agreed.

He also has the capability for system analysis and upgrades, so it's time to start producing weapons.

As for some utensils

Then he asked, "Where are the manpower?"

"I know a few decent people myself. As for the others, I plan to go to Xuzhou."

Fang Chang said with a smile.

“You read the newspaper every day, so you should know that the 19th Route Army, which is resting and reorganizing in Xuzhou, is currently undergoing reorganization.”

Lin Yi had indeed seen this in the newspaper.

The Battle of Shanghai ended a few months ago.

The 19th Route Army, having suffered heavy losses, retreated to neighboring Xuzhou for rest and reorganization.

The details of the entanglement are unknown to Lin Yi, given his status.

However, he could guess the shady dealings involved in the reorganization even with his toes.

If local troops are reorganized, Chiang Kai-shek will definitely try to take advantage of them.

This is his usual tactic.

Therefore, the 19th Route Army is currently experiencing a period of morale turmoil.

The timing was perfect for Fang Chang to set his sights on them.

After the two settled the matter, Lin Yi spent another half a day carefully investigating the nameless island before returning to Shanghai.
