"Hey, Captain Mingjian, for pharmaceuticals, we now have theory and practice, and everything is exploring, but we are sure to use the black box simulation method to make the following relatively reliable drugs."

"I don't understand, but it sounds amazing......"

"In fact, it is simple, we have accurate and comprehensive information, and even the specific process data are ready-made, as long as there are certain material conditions, plus the quality requirements are not high...... It's okay to come up with these broad-spectrum antibiotics. ”

"Is it really that amazing? It feels a little dreamy. ”

Gu Jin looked at Dai Xiaoshan and responded.

"Well, we used egg whites and wood and bamboo fibers to grow some soil actinomycetes...... Uh, I'm not going to talk about it if it's too professional, but in short, it's a gray-white powder that must contain something like streptomycin......"

"If it's really streptomycin, you guys will change the world! It's just that you really don't know the exact composition of this kind of thing? ”

Gu Jin said with some worry when he heard this.

"It still needs to be analyzed, and it is still a semi-finished product, and clinical trials are needed."

Dai Xiaoshan replied lightly.

"Well, what can this medicine cure?"

"Tuberculosis, the Black Death, and bacillary dysentery, urinary tract infections and other infectious diseases caused mainly by gram-negative bacteria......"

"Really? Is this really going to work? The question is, do you dare to use it on a living person without even figuring out the exact ingredients? ”

Gu Jin looked at the latter with an incredulous expression, and then looked at the back of the coachman in front of him.

"So what? Nowadays, the mortality rate of these infectious diseases is so high, you can't just watch it because of this, right? ”

"Hey, that's ..... too."

Gu Jin sighed with emotion and didn't speak again.

"Captain, clinical trials are needed anyway...... However, we are confident that the probability of success is very high, because we are just repeating the process of our predecessors, and if we succeed, the history of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ravaging mankind will end prematurely......"

Dai Xiaoshan knew that his words just now were a little unsettling, so he hurriedly added.

"No wonder you all kept it a secret, did you bring all those antibiotics?"

Gu Jin asked in a low voice.

"Brought a lot of ..... well, by the way, Captain, what kind of institution is the Hall of Mercy you just mentioned?"

In the dark, the bump of the carriage made Dai Xiaoshan quickly grasp the handrail, and he glanced at Captain Gu and asked.

"This church of mercy is a church institution, it is a charity almshouse founded by the first bishop of the Catholic diocese of Macau, Jia Nailao, established in 1569, with a history of nearly 100 years, this church of mercy has an orphanage, which houses a wide range of people, in addition to local orphans, there are also children of Chinese mixed race and female slaves, in addition to a relief hospital and a relief shelter for lepers."

Gu Jin replied in a low voice in the dark carriage.

Under the dim street lamp, accompanied by the clatter of horses' hooves, Dai Xiaoshan responded after a long silence:

"So it's a church charity, and I can't imagine that this kind of institution existed so early in this era...... Knowledge......"

Gu Jin listened and responded in the dark:

According to Xiao Zhu, although the House of Mercy is a Catholic religious organization, in Macau, it is also a semi-official social assistance organization, such as finding a foster care for orphans---- usually poor widows, and the Holy House of Mercy pays such foster caregivers every month until the child is seven years old.

Other tasks include the protection of helpless children, orphan girls, widows and 'virtuous women', the redemption of prisoners of religious wars, the provision of special protection for prisoners, and the door-to-door visits of the poor......"

"Prostitutes and prisoners? There is still such an institution in this era! I really didn't expect ......."

Dark Lidai Hill responded.

"It is the doctrine of Christianity to give food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, clothing to the poor, shelter to the poor and pilgrims, medical treatment to the sick and to rest the dead......

"Captain Gu, do you feel that your old man is very familiar with Christian doctrine?"

"For people like me who travel all over the oceans, they have to deal with all kinds of people, these are professional requirements, and they are basic homework......

Gu Jin explained.

"Well, I've heard that Wang Gong is a Christian."

"Shhhh Be careful to keep it secret, because she is not a Catholic, she is a Protestant, and in today's Macau, it is heretical...... Oh, and by the way, according to Dr. Chu's research, the Macau Church of Mercy is the oldest European charity on the Asian continent, and there are many other institutions of the same nature around the world, and it is a worldwide institution, whose history dates back to 1485, an organization called the Church of the Brethren in Lisbon......"

"It seems that another one has a background, but I have a question, where do you say the funds of these institutions come from?"

The doctor asked curiously.

"Primarily charitable gifts, bequests from the deceased, and monthly fees for Church of the Brethren members.

By the way, I heard Dr. Zhu say that the Old World Church of Charity sometimes played the role of a bank, giving out low-interest credit to the society, and the interest rate was said to be very low, about 6 to 7 percent, and later, it also promoted the development of the gambling industry, and used the funds obtained for charity, of course, we don't know what the situation is now......

After the two of them discussed for a while, the carriage unconsciously arrived in front of the Macau City Council, and next to the small square of the City Hall was the Hall of Mercy.

For Captain Gu, who has visited Old World Macau many times, the place where the Holy House of Mercy is located is very familiar to him.

Of course, unlike the two-story white bungalow seen in the old world, which has become a tourist attraction, the Holy House of Mercy is just an ordinary-looking Chinese-style house, except that there is a towering wooden cross on the gate of the courtyard, indicating that it is a church institution.

When the carriage was almost at the gate, two nuns dressed in black robes and white turbans appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw the carriage coming, they immediately came over, and in the night, the nuns walked in a hurry, looking very anxious.

Through the dim street lamp, Dai Xiaoshan also saw two figures behind the two grandmothers, and when they got closer, they saw clearly that those two were actually Xu Zhi and Zhu Beiguo.

Seeing the carriage stop, Xu Zhi hurriedly stepped forward, he introduced the two grandmothers who followed him, these two grandmothers simply greeted Dai Xiaoshan, at this time the latter looked serious, under Xu Zhi's translation, he had a simple and anxious conversation with the grandmothers, Dai Xiaoshan finally learned that the orphanage of the Church of Mercy is currently making a very powerful plague.

However, the specific plague is obviously not clear to the grandmothers, but it is said that many children suddenly have a fever and cough, and their whole bodies are weak, and then they die quickly because of respiratory failure.

Since he couldn't ask more about the situation, Dai Xiaoshan could only nod and turn around to go back to the carriage to get the medical kit, but when he turned around, he found that the black coachman behind him had already carried it for him, so he didn't talk nonsense, and immediately took the black coachman and hurriedly walked into the courtyard gate.

Inside the gate is a medium-sized courtyard, with a row of bungalows on the left and right, and a doorway in the middle of the front bungalows, and a door there.

At this moment, Dai Xiaoshan saw a few people walking out of a room next to him, and then the light, Dai Xiaoshan looked at it intently, it was actually Sun Lao!

At this time, there were a few people behind Sun Lao, and Dai Xiaoshan looked a little familiar - they seemed to be members of the city council who met at the lunch party.

In addition, there were a few strangers dressed as priests, and when everyone saw Dai Xiaoshan coming, they all rushed up, arching their hands, taking off their hats and hats, Dai Xiaoshan was at a loss for a moment about this formation, so he had to wave his hands around, smile and nod.

However, he found that everyone present was all worried, and his smile didn't seem to be answered, and when Sun Lao saw this, he stepped forward and grabbed Dai Xiaoshan, and whispered to him, Xiaoshan, it's obvious that there is a plague here!

Old Sun's voice trembled a little, and it could be seen that he was very nervous.
