Chapter 148: An Invention That Shook the Whole of Europe
Lavoisier looked at Ye Kai with a shyness, before this, Ye Kai felt that Lavoisier, a great scientist who would go down in history, must be a great and upright, full of wisdom and perseverance.
He couldn't have imagined that in order to increase the content of nitroglycerin, Lavoisier would be able to rub a shy face with him.
Although Ye Kai actually doesn't care about more than one percent or less than one percent, he can't agree too happily, what if Lavoisier has to make an inch of progress if he agrees too much?
But he was really grinded to the point that he couldn't do anything, and it was really cool to see the great father of chemistry with such a expression!
"Alright! Antoine, I promise you, but I tell you, just this time, you are a serious breach of the contract between us, but before I agree, I have one condition! β
"Yes! As long as I can do it, you can mention it! Lavoisier nodded very boldly, if Ye Kai put forward any unreasonable conditions, it would be a big deal to continue to grind and soak hard!
"I have brought with me a few people of the kind, all of whom are the brightest men, and I hope that they will get your recommendation to study at the University of Paris, and when they finish their studies, they will be able to work beside you."
Ye Kai wanted Lavoisier to train chemistry talents for him, and he also had six Ye family children by his side, including He Yuer's husband, Ye Kai's cousin Ye Ming, who was very rich in mathematics.
These six people are the talents that Ye Kai values the most, so Ye Kai didn't send them to any ordinary school casually.
At this time, the University of Paris was a behemoth, its history can be traced back to 1200 years, and it has not been split up yet, which is equivalent to the first to thirteenth universities in Paris in later generations, with more than 15,000 students, and it is definitely the best university of this era.
"Good!" Lavoisier nodded, "But they have to do a year of preparatory studies before they can enter the University of Paris!" β
"Deal!" Ye Kai slapped Lavoisier excitedly, Lavoisier is one of the best scientists of this era, and the University of Paris is the best university of this era, to get such a learning opportunity, Ye Kai believes that seven people, including his cousin Ye Ming, will definitely become the hope of the Ye family.
γγγγ
After finishing the matter of throwing his cousin Ye Ming and them into the preparatory department of the University of Paris, Ye Kai hurriedly returned to the Meudon Castle.
He wants to do a great thing here, and that is to purify opium, although opium is the source of evil when it is heard, but it also depends on how to use it.
Especially in this era when Europeans don't take opium seriously, Ye Kai can use opium to refine the more powerful diethylxmorphine, and then chemically treat this alkaloid, and finally get more useful morphine hydrochloride, some primitive berberine hydrochloride, etc.
Berberine hydrochloride has a very familiar name Chinese berberine, although this thing is not exactly the same as berberine, but Chinese people are generally used to call this class of chemically synthesized drugs berberine.
If it can be successfully refined, it is a very great progress, you know, berberine hydrochloride is actually a broad-spectrum antibacterial drug, it has a good antibacterial effect on hemolytic streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, dysentery bacillus, etc.
And this thing can not only be taken orally, but also melted water to support injections, and the effect is dozens of times better than taking it directly.
And it can enhance the phagocytosis effect of white blood cells, and have different degrees of inhibition effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis, plague bacteria and amoebic bacteria.
Even for tuberculosis, which everyone in the world talks about, it has a good inhibitory effect, although it cannot be compared with streptomycin at all, but it can still inhibit germs.
That is, it cannot cure tuberculosis, but it can make tuberculosis patients live more comfortably, which is equivalent to the effect of Glenin on leukemia patients.
Thinking of the huge tuberculosis population in this world, isn't this crazy for meow?
It is the Dauphin Louis in the current ChΓ’teau de Merdon, who is a tuberculosis patient.
All in all, in this era when even the extraction of alkaloids from plants is not yet mature, this is definitely a huge leap, and it is a great discovery that can subvert all the current medical systems in Europe, if there is a Nobel Prize at this time, Ye Kai estimates that he can get several of them at once.
Not only that, but he is also likely to become a member of the Royal French Academy of Sciences and even a member of the Royal Society.
Don't look at the names of these two academies, the two most powerful countries in the world today are Britain and France, and those who can enter these two national academies are very great scientists, which is the highest honor symbol of scientists in Europe.
What's more precious is that it is also one of the best talismans, and at this time, it is not unusual for Europe to execute a nobleman.
But if a big science at the level of an academician of the Academy of Sciences is treated illegally, it will be a big deal!
For example, this time Lavoisier, the French military can ask Ye Kai directly, but they will not go to Lavoisier, unless they encounter a chaotic era like the French Revolution, an academician of the Academy of Sciences is a gold medal for avoiding death.
However, Ye Kai still hesitated, because this invention was too shocking, Ye Kai was a little worried about his life, not on the surface, but secretly the kind.
Because he's going to kill all the pharmaceutical factories in Europe!
Not to mention any patent law, driven by such terrible interests, it is useless for you to hold a knife on the neck of those pretenders, and for such a huge benefit, it is simply insignificant to disappear a handful of people.
And now that he is in France, what if the French government uses these drugs he invented as a national weapon?
Will he, I don't know when, will he be kidnapped by spies and agents from other countries?
Could it be that the French government, coveting the huge profits from his invention, disposed of him harmlessly?
The puppet is innocent and guilty!
Ye Kai understood the horror of this sentence for the first time, but if you want him not to engage in this invention, Ye Kai is reluctant.
He now needs money, guns, officers, warships, and all the talents who can play with European-style warships.
If he didn't have the help of these, how many years would it take him to succeed?
You must know that even if he brings a Western-style army to Ruan Phuc Anh now, it will take Ruan Phuc Anh to defeat the Xishan Dynasty in history.
And after that, if Ye Kai wants to wrestle with Ruan Fuying, without the bonuses of these things listed above, five years is not much, right?
And then how long will it take to go north and return to China? Twenty years? Thirty years?
Without the golden finger, he went on step by step like this, don't do anything to transform the foot basin, hit Maozi and even dominate the world, it will take 20 years just to lay down the southern seven and sixty-three provinces!
By then, he would be in his sixties, and he would still be playing with hair!
It's been more than 185 years, there is a generational difference between the East and the West, and he is old, what is the point of all this?
Therefore, even if the road ahead is extremely difficult, and there is even a danger that you will lose your head if you don't operate well, you must go on!
Ye Kai in the dark clenched his fists fiercely, and he felt that a strong sense of mission was pushing him forward!
"Marquis, the Duchess of Polina invites you to join her for dinner!" Outside the door came the soft call of the castle maid.
Ye Kai took a deep breath, since the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, let's start with Louis XVI and Queen Mary!
I wonder if the establishment of a joint venture medical company with the king and queen of France can stop part of this turmoil?
