John has been hesitant to get closer to Koch.
Robert? There is no doubt that Koch was a very good scientist, and that his research on bacteriology and infectious diseases was truly unique in this era, otherwise he would not have held such a high place in German history. But because of this, John deliberately kept a certain distance from the other party.
Of course, it's okay to meet and chase stars or something, but in other aspects, John is really more entangled.
In this era, bacteriologists are undoubtedly the most remarkable.
The world at the end of the 19th century was a world of epidemics, and tuberculosis was the number one killer of mankind, killing people every year simply not what people in the 21st century could imagine. Of course, the reason for this is the lack of medicines, especially before the advent of antibiotics or sulfonamides, and even the pneumonia of the common cold will make many people return to the underworld every year.
That is why, in this era, Pasteur and Koch were able to achieve such great prestige.
Pasteur single-handedly created the theory of germs and showed people the power of this amazing science with the world's first rabies vaccine, while Koch's discovery of the existence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis pushed himself to the altar because he made people see the cause of tuberculosis and saw the hope of finally solving it......
And let's not forget that in addition to some local infectious diseases in Europe, such as plague and cholera, tropical diseases have slowly become a hot topic of research due to the increasing importance and role of colonies to various European powers. Koch made several trips to the British colony. There was an uproar in helping them study and solve the problems of livestock and people's diseases, because the arrogant British could not understand why the government would invite a German to solve those problems......
In other words, infectious diseases are much more visible in this era than in any other field.
But for John, these were a different story.
Bacteria such as plague were found. And then discovering the transmission routes of infectious diseases, such as malaria transmitted by mosquitoes, was not a difficult task for John. It can be said that if he wants, he can find out the main sources of infectious diseases and the routes of infection in a few years, and even "invent" a method to treat them with a series of molecular formulas in his memory!
In fact, for any medical student or physician in later generations, as long as he holds a textbook on infectious diseases, he is much better than any bacteriologist of this era, including Pasteur and Koch.
So if John wanted to, he could become the top scientist very quickly.
But then then. This means that John must devote all his energy to the study of infectious diseases, like Pasteur or Koch, and have to make frequent contact with those who are affected by infectious diseases, or go deep into the hardest-hit areas like India and Africa!
The danger is too high!
John was not a saint, and at least for the time being, he had not dedicated his consciousness to the cause of all mankind, so he did not intend to devote himself to the great cause of infectious diseases in the absence of a truly effective medicine.
So in addition to the first time I took the initiative to contact Koch for the sake of chasing stars. John had always stayed away from the great scientist, and was reluctant to even approach the bacteriological chamber he was in! Because he knows how valuable the knowledge in his brain is. I also know what will happen if I can't help but get involved in it - there are not a few bacteriologists who have died of infectious diseases in history!
"Safety first, safety first!"
After the afternoon physiology class, John finally decided to stay away from infectious diseases, at least until he had his own high-security room, and he didn't plan to compete with Koch and Pasteur......
……
In the midst of the hectic preparations, a week passed in a flash.
Over the weekend, the elder Huntlaar announced a decision. At the end of October he would have a medium-sized ball, inviting his relatives, John's partners, Baron Cole and the Bristers, as well as some of his old friends – and of course, some new business acquaintances were also essential.
For this decision. John didn't say much.
Without his grandfather's explanation, he already understood what the other party's plan was, and he was just looking for a partner for his pharmaceutical factory, because in the past few days, the grandfather and grandson had reached a consensus, that is, John would take out 20% of the shares of the pharmaceutical factory to attract funds to join the shares, and also to solve other problems besides funds. With the gradual development and expansion of the pharmaceutical factory, John will take out another 20% of the shares when necessary and distribute them to the hungry wolves who have heard of it.
Although John wanted to eat alone, it was unrealistic to be undergrounded.
Look at the famous Aspirin War in history, with the strength of Bayer, it still has to rack its brains to deal with those who try to fight for the interests of aspirin, not to mention John, an American who is only German? With his current strength and influence, if he really insists on going his own way and is unwilling to share any interests, he will face an extremely dangerous shape in the future!
John was not an indecisive man, and since he had already figured it out, he naturally did not hesitate, and soon left the matter to old Huntelaar to make a decision, and focused his energy on preparing the content of the lecture in a few days. Although Koch finally agreed to participate, so that the level of this academic exchange was raised to a very high level, but after all, the big guy can only be regarded as a bacteriologist, and when he is a doctor, he is ordinary, let alone in surgery, so most of the lecture content still needs to be prepared by John himself.
Early on Monday morning, John called Thomas and three other assistants.
"This is the meeting materials I just prepared."
After distributing the materials in his hand to everyone, John blinked his eyes and smiled: "The content of this academic exchange meeting is mainly divided into three parts: local anesthesia, aseptic disinfection and appendectomy, which are in charge of the three of you...... Questions? ”
"We?"
Hearing John say this, Thomas and the three of them were suddenly surprised and delighted, and they were all stunned. Originally, it seemed to them that there must have been nothing to do with themselves when they showed their faces, but at this moment John's words were beyond their expectations.
"Yes, the three of you are in charge."
Nodding solemnly, John said with some excitement: "I have just received two letters, Mr. Bierrot of Vienna and Mr. Liszt of London will be present this time, plus Mr. Robert Koch will also come, so I must greet them well, except for the first day of the stage to speak, the rest of the time must depend on you......"
