The main ingredient of the small white tablets is potato starch, which mainly plays the role of binding.

In addition, there is only a small amount of pain-relieving ingredient in each tablet, and this pain-relieving ingredient is not the kind of drug that Bayer has become a world-class pharmaceutical company.

Rather, it is a dye intermediate called acetanilide.

Today, in addition to natural plants and their extracts, the vast majority of the drugs used by the Claydon Medical Organization are derived from dyes and dye intermediates.

Dyes are the fastest-progressing and most cutting-edge industry in chemical synthesis.

It's just that before Tom & Doug Chemical entered the industry.

Synthetic dyes that chemists have painstakingly developed, or wonderful colors that are born out of just mistake.

It's just for dye applications.

And now, during the Civil War, Tom & Doug Chemical, the fist product, is picric acid that does not dye well.

As an explosive, picric acid is widely used in the field of ammunition warfare.

At the same time, of course, it is also used in the field of engineering and construction.

The reason why the "Claydon Railway", which was directed by Doug's will, managed by the Claydon Foundation, and executed by the railway engineering team, was able to be completed so quickly.

It's not just that the Claydon consortium is willing to spend money and hire a lot of people.

Similarly, picric acid, which is used as an explosive charge, also contributes to a utility that cannot be ignored.

Compared with those that are still using traditional black powder, explosives for mountain blasting and rock blasting.

Picric is simply a full-grown strong male bullying a baby.

And this is also the reason why the construction of the Claydon Railway did not lose money, and even made a profit.

In addition to thanking the leeks of the Stock Exchange, the railroad companies that flocked to order picric acid also provided excess income for the Claydon consortium.

At this time, Doug only understood why many companies and enterprises like to create fist products regardless of the cost.

Because everyone can see the riot products, and everyone will analyze the reason why you are so good.

And if you sell it openly because of the cost, then their first choice is to buy it, and the second choice is R&D.

Yes, the last thing that most businesses and companies like least is R&D.

Because R&D is not an industry that produces output when it is invested.

It's even more difficult than working in a new industry.

Because even if it's a new industry, it's just that what is done is new. Its structure, its structure, and its profit model are all fixed and traceable.

However, this is not the case with scientific research.

No one can guarantee that the previous theories are absolutely correct, and no one can guarantee that the way forward is the right direction.

Because the so-called theory is recognized, sometimes it is just that the current results just match the conclusions it has reached.

No one knows if it is a step further in this direction, and it will still apply.

Businessmen and capitalists never pursue the progress of civilization or the development of science and technology, they only pursue money.

And for them who are just looking for money, what is certain is the best.

As for this thing, because it's certain, everyone can do it?

Don't worry, they can raise the barrier to entry in a variety of ways. In the end, it's just up to them to do it themselves.

Of course, this involves all aspects of politics and economics, and anyone who can monopolize any industry will be a standard tycoon.

The so-called No. 1 tycoon in the United States, Vanderbilt, only accounts for 40 percent of the railroads in the United States.

As for why he is respected and worshiped by people by virtue of this forty percent.

This is because the rest of the railway companies, even the largest, only control a little more than 10 percent of the railways.

Another reason for this is that the old captain's railway lines are almost always the core lines connecting the major trading cities.

The vast majority of these lines are profitable.

Compared to other railroad companies, where it is difficult to see profits in the short term, Vanderbilt's railroad company has the best quality assets.

It is because of this that everyone worships him.

However, different people worship in different directions.

Some admire his wisdom, some admire his decisiveness, and some admire his unscrupulous means.

So when the Claydon consortium announced that it was going to build a railroad.

The Claydon consortium is in the ranks of these people's attention.

Although, the Claydon consortium already has a lot of influence and financial resources in the United States.

However, its main business, one is newspaper, and the other is finance.

Probably the only physical production is "Monopoly" gadgets.

This has to make the capitalists of this era look down on.

Because, for the capitalists of this era, industry is the king and the main theme of this era.

The rest of the media, whether it is finance, is based on the development of industry, if there is no industry, will they still exist?

Therefore, while the income of the financial industry, it is increasing every year.

Although, industrial capitalists, will also enter the ranks of securities trading.

However, they still believe that industry is king.

Therefore, the Claydon consortium's entry into railroad construction is still a parallel line built according to the core line of the Vanderbilt Railway Company.

This makes them pay attention unusually much.

When they first got the news, they wanted to see who was so bold to challenge the captain.

You must know that the people who challenged him before have either wandered in despair, or they can't even find their bodies.

But, to their surprise, Vanderbilt's attack didn't come.

On the contrary, they saw a miracle, a miracle that ran from New England to the Southern Front in three months.

Stock speculators were the first to move, then the bosses of other railway companies, and then the book publishers.

Because the Protestants on the Mayflower believe that everyone can read and interpret the Bible. Instead of getting their explanations from the priest and the priest.

The first thing you need to do to read the Bible on your own is to know the words.

And once you know enough words, it's not just the Bible that you can read.

Therefore, although the United States is a relatively late industrial country.

However, in its core industrial areas, the literacy rate here is somewhat higher than in the United Kingdom, the most industrially developed country.

Whether it is the inheritance of knowledge, or the pastime to relieve boredom, or even daily work, a lot of words are needed to explain the problem clearly and make things easier.

Over time, on top of this, a company was born that specializes in serving readers.

Some of them believe in spreading the latest news to other people.

That's the news.

On the other hand, they believe in more time and more in-depth writing, and finally produce books.

And of these two, one is journalistic writing and the other is non-fiction writing.

And the Claydon newspaper group, in the field that has recently exploded, is fictional writing, that is, - writing.

In the American newspaper group, before the launch of the story is the Big Three, although writing has always been there.

But, at best, it's just a newspaper column.

Because, industry practitioners, think that people focus on facts, not stories.

Because, compared to the story, why not go to the opera, why not go to the drama?

Wouldn't their experience be better?

And is there anything else that can be substituted for journalism other than what newspapers can provide?

However, they ignore one problem.

The burghers are on the rise, but they are not so big that they can go to the opera once a week.

Even if they can listen to it once a day, how can there be so many new dramas for them?

It is indeed a substitute for drama and opera.

But it's cheap enough, not only for the cost of dissemination, but also for creation.

Opera and drama require the collaboration of songwriters, playwrights, actors, and performers.

In the era when there was no electric amplification equipment, it was necessary to use exquisite architecture to build an exquisite acoustic transmission structure.

How can such a high cost make theater and opera popular?

It's different, a person can create with a pile of paper and a pen.

Even if it is turned into print, the cost is much lower than that of rehearsing and building a theater.

This is also the reason why the magazines of the American Press Group have been able to spread widely.

Were the people before them stupid?

Can't you see it?

I see it, and I'm not stupid.

However, when the bottom wants to do it, there is a lack of resources.

And the top doesn't necessarily want to do it.

Now that you're making a lot of money, why do you want to do something new?

The vast majority of people, even those who succeed, are far more inert than they think.

Only when they feel that there is no risk in something, will they do it.

And what is not at risk?

It's imitation.

Today, in addition to the three finest magazines.

In the North and South of the United States, there are already more than thirty magazines.

Although, including the Big Three, it has not achieved a nationwide distribution in the true sense.

However, there is also a picture of prosperity.

Especially, in this era of war.

Military literature, with soldiers and generals as the protagonists, began to become popular.

Of course, in the magazines of the South, it was the South that won. Defeated the vicious Yankees.

In the story of the North, it is the wise and heroic Northerners who defeated the Southerners, freed the black slaves, and freed them.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Thor, who is an Irishman.

Thor was now just excited about his whole body, where there was no more pain.

The workers who worked with him were just as excited.

For those of them who work overweight every day, there are always various places in the body that are used beyond the limit.

Although, the body repairs itself.

However, there are limits to human beings.

Unless you are not a good person, if you completely ignore the health of your body and work beyond the limit, even if you live a long life, it will definitely not be better.

Are they not concerned about their physical health?

No!

No!

What they need more than physical health in the future is to live in the present.

But how easy is it to survive?

"Doctor, do you still have this medicine?"

Someone asked in a whisper.

"Yes! I see a lot, a lot!"

"Shall we go over and ask for more?"

"You want to go and ask for it, they check our bodies and give us free medicine, which is kind enough.

Do you really think they're angels?

If you go, I'll give it to you for free?

You saw that little Peter was not full the day before yesterday, so you gave him a piece of steamed potatoes.

If he came to you and asked you, how would you react?"

"Beat him, of course!"

"Heh, even you, but it's just a potato. What about the medicine we take?

Have you seen it anywhere else?

They are the ones who are afraid of even our heads.

Do you want to die?"

"I ......"

"Then let's buy it, will they sell it?"

"Maybe......"

"Which of you goes first?"

Not a single person went.

Thor stood up and walked with a determined stride to the white tent with a red cross fluttering.

If you don't have to fight for your own happiness, do you still have to expect it to fall from the sky?

Thor's back, though in the eyes of his companions, looked majestic.

However, when he entered the white tent, he straightened his waist, immediately collapsed and asked, "Hello, may I ask that little white pill, do you sell it here?"

"Little white pills? You mean acetanilide?"

"What?"

"It's nothing, you're talking about painkillers. Little white pills, we have a little bit of them here. ”

"Yes, yes, it's painkillers, do you sell them here?"

"Don't buy it yet. ”

"Oh......"

"Wait a minute. The doctor in the white coat stopped him, "Although it is not sold now, before we leave, we will always watch you eat regularly and quantitatively."

I don't give it to you directly because it's medicine.

If you have a problem eating, do you blame you for eating indiscriminately, or do you blame you for having a problem?"

"Well, got it, I'm sorry for you. That...... Will this medicine be sold in the future?"

"Perhaps...... Just like you build roads, you lay rails and sleepers, but do you forge rails?

We're just doctors.

Just as you build roads, we are people.

But, you ask, do we sell these pills?

I don't know. ”

It was the first time Thor had seen such a clean man, so polite to him, and so much to him.

"Thank you. ”

Thor thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

When he returned to the place where the workers had gathered.

The workers craned their necks in anticipation, "How's Thor!?"

"How's that? There's bad news, but there's also good news......"
