“…… At this point, I have to ask John? Mr. Huntelaar expressed his gratitude! ”

Koch on the stage bowed slightly in the direction of John, and said loudly: "It is his outstanding contribution to infectious diseases, to be precise, in the field of cholera, that has allowed us to achieve great results in this cholera epidemic in Hamburg!" It has also been proven that Vibrio cholerae is the culprit behind this terrible epidemic, and the best way to stop them is to destroy them before they enter our bodies, and once infected with this disease, the best way to treat them is to replace the lost body fluids......"

In the auditorium, which had more than 300 people, there was not a single sound except for Koch.

Cholera was undoubtedly terrible for Europe at the end of the 19th century, with a pandemic almost every few years, and in the colonial world of Britain and France, the disease was like the most stubborn cancer, which made colonists feel terrible. So when the Germans ...... smoothly In other words, after effectively controlling the cholera outbreak in Hamburg and saving thousands of lives, John's lectures in England and the measures implemented in Hamburg became the focus of European medical circles as quickly as possible!

Raw water must be boiled to drink, do not eat raw and cold food, etc. soon became a new way of life for some people, and the new concept of rehydration therapy has also entered the public eye, as for the sulfonamide, which has long been very famous, it is now even more famous, and in the mouth of some doctors, it has become a miracle medicine that cures all diseases, and the popularity is almost comparable to whiskey and yapian!

At the same time, their prestige has risen dramatically, along with Koch and John.

One was the "discoverer" of Vibrio cholerae and the proposer of the theory of cholera pathogenesis, and the other was a staunch supporter and proponent of this theory, and these two men were put under the searchlight by doctors almost all over Europe - the kind that was invented decades later, of course. The only difference is that Koch has been the focus of European medicine for the past few months and years, and John, although also very famous, has been unusually low-key in recent months, and has not appeared in public except for a few days in London and Hamburg.

So when Koch mentioned John, many eyes turned to his location.

"Huh."

Smiling and owing to Koch, John also expressed his gratitude to the other party. In fact, it was because of this cholera and Koch's support that he was able to give a full half day to give a speech today. You must know that in this era, except for medicine and surgery, there is no detailed subdivision of the medical community, so the meetings are held in an auditorium. And this meeting was only three days in total, Koch accounted for the first half day, and John accounted for the second half day, which means that the others can only occupy the second two days, which is a great honor for a physician......

"Congratulations, Professor, for a wonderful presentation!"

After thunderous applause, John immediately congratulated Koch.

The content of Koch's speech today undoubtedly chose cholera, and chose the efforts he has made in Hamburg over the past few months, along with Kitasato, Ehrlich and others, and this is what the participating physicians are most concerned about. Koch's speech was undoubtedly a great success, and the theory that John perfected and became meticulous, with detailed data, and most importantly, the facts of what happened in the city of Hamburg, made the speech very convincing and obviously a great success!

"Thank you."

Although Koch's face was tired after talking all morning, his spirit was obviously very uplifted, and he said with a smile: "John, wait for lunch together?" Haha, I'm really looking forward to what you're going to talk about this afternoon, and it would be nice if I could hear some of it earlier! ”

"Hehe, it's my pleasure."

Smiling slightly, John immediately nodded and agreed. Not to mention that the relationship between the two is quite familiar now, even out of admiration for this big bull, John will definitely agree. To be able to eat with Koch, even if it's not the first time, is it an honor for the doctors who have traveled back in time in the future, right?

However, just as the group was about to leave the auditorium and go to a reserved place for lunch, a middle-aged man in his forties suddenly walked over: "Sorry to interrupt, Mr. Huntelaar, can you say a few words?" ”

"Mr. Bruno, why are you here?"

After seeing the visitor, John first asked in surprise, and then his face immediately darkened.

For this Mr. Bruno, John's senses have reached the point where he has a headache when he meets. First, because of the other party's perseverance, visiting again and again, it is annoying, and secondly, it is naturally because of the scientific giant behind the other party, the top boss of German science in the 19th century, Helmholtz!

"Hey, didn't you say you rejected those physicists?"

Unable to help but roll his eyes, John secretly cursed the organizer of the meeting - he didn't expect this Mr. Bruno to be here!

"Hehe, I'm here instead of Mr. Helmholtz."

With a faint smile on his face, Mr. Bruno explains: "As you may not know, Mr. Helmholtz is also a member of the German medical community and has a high reputation in the fields of anatomy and physiology. ”

"Uh......"

After listening to Bruno's words, John was speechless.

If the other party didn't remind him, he really didn't remember for a while that this big man in the physics world was the first to get a doctor of medicine, and he was also a military doctor! Helmholtz made outstanding contributions in the fields of victory optics, physiology and mechanics, invented ophthalmoscopy, and later served as professor of anatomy and physiology at the universities of Bonn and Heidelberg! Although Helmholtz's research turned to physics more than 20 years ago, and he has made very important achievements in the fields of optics, electrodynamics, mathematics, thermodynamics, etc., especially the creation of the most important law of conservation of energy, he still has a great reputation in the medical field.

One need only look at the reactions of the likes of Koch and Bergman to see this.

"Mr. Helmholtz?"

Looking at Bruno in surprise, Koch asked, "Physicist?" The same Mr. Helmholtz who came up with the law of conservation of energy? ”

"Yes, Professor, that's the gentleman."

Bowing slightly, Bruno responded without humility or arrogance.

After receiving the confirmation, Koch, Ehrlich and the others immediately looked at Bruno differently. Don't look at Koch in Germany now, but after all, it is only in the field of medicine, and if the scope of statistics includes the entire scientific community, then he is still some distance away from Helmholtz. On the one hand, this is naturally because of the current status of the discipline, medicine is still a little worse than physics, and also because of age and qualifications, when Helmholtz published "The Conservation of Force", Koch was still four or five years old!

Hasn't Professor Helmholtz been absent from medical conferences for a long time? Why did you suddenly send someone here today?

Looking at Bruno with a smile on his face, and then at John with a gloomy face, Koch and the others suddenly understood. They all knew that John had published two papers a year earlier on radioactivity and electrons -- two concepts that even Professor Bergmann had heard of, thanks to the excitement in European physics in recent months -- so it was not surprising that Johann was associated with Germany's top physicists at the moment.

But......

I want to understand it, but inevitably, the eyes of Koch and the others looking at John became strange again.

It's just that his reputation in the field of medicine is growing now, but this kid is so good at physics that he even attracted Professor Helmholtz to send someone, which ...... What kind of monster is this kid?

Of course, Koch and the others are physics laymen after all.

In fact, even the average insider may not be able to understand the significance of John's two papers for physics! Radioactivity and electrons, if you add the X-rays that he discovered with Roentgen, then the three major discoveries of physics in the 19th century have already been accounted for by him! In the history of physics in later generations, this is also a shocking achievement......

Swallowing a mouthful of spit, John asked helplessly, "Mr. Bruno, if you have nothing to do, I just made an appointment with Mr. Koch for lunch......

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huntelaar."

Bruno had a hint of apology on his face, and hurriedly bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry to disturb you, but ...... Helmholtz happens to be around here today, and he wants to invite you to dinner, I don't know if that's okay? ”

"This ......"

His face darkened, and John knew that he couldn't escape today.

John had been staying at home some time ago, and of course it was impossible for him to come in person with Helmholtz's identity and status, so John could simply refuse the other party. But now that Helmholtz has come to the vicinity of the venue, and Bruno has also sent out invitations in front of Koch and others, he will not know the current affairs if he does not go again.

So after only hesitating for a moment, John could only sigh secretly and helplessly, and said with a slight smile: "It will be a great honor for me, Mr. Bruno......" (To be continued. )
