Not to mention that Conan Doyle was overjoyed after seeing John's reply, and immediately began to revise this "Study of the Scarlet Letter", and the classic image of Sherlock Holmes will soon appear in front of the world, and John himself, who has helped him a lot, has now fallen into a kind of helpless distress.

"I'm going to take a cruise to Hamburg tomorrow morning, and with Henry with me, you don't have to worry too much......"

Looking at the latest telegram from his grandfather, John's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

The old man ignored his resolute opposition at all, and finally got on a cruise ship to Europe. It would take two or three days for the telegram from New York to reach Berlin, and if you look at the time of the telegram, it would have been yesterday that old Huntelaar had come aboard.

"Sir, do you need me to go to Hamburg?"

Hans, who was standing aside, bowed slightly and asked respectfully.

"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Elber."

After a slight groan, John said with a wry smile as he sighed. The last time the old man came, Joshua and them were with him, but this time only Henry, the coachman, was by his side, so how could John rest assured in such a situation?

By this time, though, John had figured out why old Huntelaar had come.

First of all, it is naturally because he is preparing to invest millions of marks in Berlin in one go, and the old Huntelaar must be a little uneasy, so he wants to check his grandson, such as the management of pharmaceutical factories and medical device factories. The second is probably because John has moved too much in the past two years, and no matter from which point of view, it seems that there are signs of staying in Europe and not going back!

But no matter what the old man thinks, John will not stop what he is doing after all.

Around the time of the elder Huntelaar's arrival in Berlin, the medical device factory was about to start production and the design of the R&D building for the pharmaceutical factory was about to be released, and the two most important undertakings in John's heart would set sail. No one could stop him. Perhaps it was with this in mind that the elder Huntelaar insisted on coming to Berlin again, wanting to see for himself what an important future his grandson's so-called dye factory had to be taken down at the cost of his bicycle business......

So in order to convince the stubborn old Huntelaar, John also began his own preparations.

Medical device factories don't need John's much concern anymore. After all, the already existing blood pressure monitor and a full set of surgical instruments, as well as a modified stethoscope and thermometer, were enough to put the nascent factory on its feet. In the next period of time, as long as John put a little effort into a simple but practical design, the factory will naturally develop steadily and gradually grow.

The key is still the newly acquired dye factory.

John really didn't mean to enter the dye industry, although searching the inventory in his head, maybe he could find the recipe for several dyes, but it didn't mean much to him. Ultimately. He has only one goal, that is, the chemical and pharmaceutical industry, which is still a blank space!

Compared with the chemical industry, this is the real sunrise industry.

So when he heard that old Huntelaar was coming to Berlin, John spent two days a week in his room. Because he knew that it would not be easy to convince old Huntelaar.

No one in the world knew better how stubborn his grandfather could be than John, so he knew a little better, even though old Huntelaar helped him sell his stake in the bicycle factory. And brought a lot of money to Europe, but deep down the old man probably never agreed with his decision!

So whether it's to convince old Huntelaar. Or so that the pharmaceutical factory that is about to invest a lot of money will not be idle, John has to keep himself busy.

Real yàn, non-stop real yàn!

Whether in the school room or in the humble room at home, John is always doing the work. He had to make at least one thing before old Huntlaar arrived in Berlin, something that convinced people that it was worth as much as a stake in a bicycle company!

Such a goal. Actually, it's not a lot.

Penicillin didn't need to be considered for the time being, John didn't have much confidence that he could use the technology of this era to achieve its industrial production, and even the sulfonamides he considered at the beginning decided to push it back for the time being. On the one hand, it is necessary to consider the problem of production process, and on the other hand, it is also necessary to consider the issue of rationality, after all, the appearance of sulfonamides in history is an accident. John really couldn't find a reason to study it on his own.

After the R&D center is put into use, it is more appropriate to take it out.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, John is ready to take out the drugs that have now appeared and are being used in clinical practice, but no one has yet been able to produce them in industrial synthesis!

Then there is only one answer......

The medicine of the century - aspirin!

This is the first synthetic drug in human history, and it is also the most sold drug in human history. As one of the three classic drugs in the history of medicine, aspirin is also the most widely used and influential drug in human history, so it is called the medicine of the century. In addition to the most classic antipyretic and analgesic effects, it can also be used in the treatment of rheumatism, prevention and treatment of ischemic heart disease, angina, myocardial infarction and cerebral thrombosis.

And more importantly, acetylsalicylic acid, the ingredient of aspirin, has been synthesized as early as 1853, and salicylic acid is also one of the three most common antipyretic and analgesic drugs on the market. However, whether it is salicylic acid, quinine or antipyrine, it will have relatively strict side effects, so aspirin, which has very few adverse reactions, is undoubtedly the best choice for John to start the pharmaceutical industry!

Although it was considered that this drug was too eye-catching, so that John did not want to take it out when he was not strong enough, and struggled with it for a long time, but now in order to be able to convince old Huntelaar, he did not care so much.

Anyway, in his mind, there are countless good things.

It's just that even if John had a precise molecular formula and complete preparation steps in his head, the real yàn in 1885 was completely different from the 21st century, and he had to do countless practical things to find the best methods and steps, and in order to be able to produce on a large scale in a pharmaceutical factory in the future, he also had to find a way to industrialize production......

……

Time flashed, and it was already the end of September.

Just before October 1, the complete renovation of the surgical building at Charlotte Hospital was finally completed. Under John's supervision, the entire building was not fundamentally changed due to the design, but the operating rooms and wards were renovated to his standards, and a large number of amenities were added - almost every patient or physician who walked into the building could not help but exclaim!

The resulting drastic reduction in the number of hospital beds did not deter Professor Bergman's determination.

"If the results are significant, I will build the entire Charlotte Hospital for renovation."

While celebrating this, Professor Bergman solemnly said to John: "Especially in the obstetrics department, I think if they can change all the sheets and bedding every time a new patient comes, and disinfect the things that have been used, the maternal and neonatal mortality rate may be greatly reduced again as it was more than ten years ago......

More than a decade ago, it was the time when Pasteur discovered the bacteria and surgical disinfection began to take off.

When Semmelwes was unwilling to die, Pasteur discovered the existence of bacteria, and then some reflective people finally understood puerperal fever, which later generations of doctors called the cause of postpartum infection, that is, the dirty hands of doctors! You know, the mortality rate of women who give birth to children in London hospitals in twenty years is more than five percent, which is fifty or sixty times higher than the death rate of children born at home!

After obstetricians learned to disinfect their hands before delivering babies, maternal mortality began to drop dramatically.

But today, 20 years later, although many doctors have begun to pay attention to disinfection, the hospital is still a crowded, airtight and dirty place, the rich will still invite doctors to their homes to see a doctor, only the poor people come back to the hospital to see a doctor or give birth, if the obstetrics department can also be transformed like surgery, and treat their delivery rooms and wards in strict accordance with sterile disinfection standards......

"Maybe in a few years, Charlotte Hospital will become a real hospital!"

Thinking of the future in the near future, John's heart is also full of anticipation.

There is no doubt that the building he planned in New York would be the first modern hospital in the true sense of the word, and John hoped that Charlotte Hospital would become the second......
