When Dashan was trial-producing sweet potato kvas, Shi Yuanren was in the pharmaceutical factory, and the glass bottles that he had applied to the Planning Commission for a long time were all shipped this time, most of which were produced by the glass factory, and some were recycled and sterilized. Thousands of bottles, large and small, were placed in rattan baskets and piled up throughout the courtyard of the pharmaceutical factory. The size of the bottle ranges from field muscle for saline to small medicine bottles.

So the people of the entire pharmaceutical factory brushed the bottles for most of the day. The cleaned bottles are pushed into the steam room for high-temperature steam sterilization, which is the most effective large-scale disinfection method for pharmaceutical factories at the moment.

With these bottles. The pharmaceutical factory will be able to officially produce the finished product, otherwise there will be no place for the product. Zhao Yanmei set up a steaming room with all-glass equipment. In addition to being used to distill medical distilled water, it is also used to extract Chinese herbal medicine and used for injection.

Shi Yuanren looked at this set of distillation facilities that were not too complicated, but very large, and marveled at the level of the glass factory, which was really a thousand miles away, with such a complex shape, a large number of thick and thin pipes, multi-passes, and valves. The alcohol lamp used for heating is flickering with a faint blue flame. The evaporation dish contains many yellow and white plant flowers, the liquid is slightly bubbling, and the steam passes through the pipes and through the condenser of the serpentine glass tube. Zuihou fell drop by drop into the collection bottle.

The whole scene, as it looks, is not science fiction or fantasy, but rather like the underground shiyan room of a mad scientist in a low-budget movie.

"What is this doing?.

"Distillation and extraction is honeysuckle, a medicine against heatstroke, specializing in the treatment of summer heat and cold. Liu San said that this can be used as a base liquid to make double coptis preparations. "Hu Yicheng is in charge of this distillation room today, and he doesn't have to go to the underground strain room to do cultivation, so he is in a happier mood.

"Is this safe?" He muttered, the composition of the Chinese medicine injection was unknown. There are a lot of impurities, just like this human injection, once the allergic reaction can't even be rescued.

Hu Yicheng saw his thoughts, "The concentrated liquid for oral use, if you eat it, you will have diarrhea at most, and you will never die." ”

"I'm just hanging. That's what I'm worried about. Shi Yuanren sighed.

"Distill this batch. Prepare to do Bupleurum injection. It's a little less difficult. Liu San dried a lot in the yard. Summer heat and cold are very effective. ”

"But it's a little less efficient."

Liu San walked out of it: "I have already ordered another set." Do it in a glass factory. This heating is ready to be heated with steam. It is much more efficient than this alcohol lamp, and the temperature is easy to control. Minister, come and sit in my room. ”

As he spoke, he was brought into his Chinese medicine workshop.

This workshop is actually a large room of 100 square meters, and the overhead is very high. The clay pots on a row of stoves are boiling traditional Chinese medicine, and on the operating table, there are guillotines for cutting medicines, grinding bowls of various materials, and sixteen taels of small scales for traditional Chinese medicine. Some are custom-made here.

Shi Yuanren sighed at the smell of medicine in the air, found a stool and sat down,

"Here are some of the medicines I have made myself.

Liu San showed him a row of paper boxes and small porcelain bottles on the table with great interest.

"This is hemostatic powder," Liu San picked up a small porcelain bottle. "Made of thistle, the function is to cool blood and stop bleeding: it is used for hemorrhage caused by blood fever and delirium, such as vomiting blood, chick blood, leakage, blood in urine, etc.; Dissipate disease detoxification and carbuncle: used for hot carbuncle swelling, internal or external application,"

"Alright, alright. Don't memorize your Chinese medicine book, Shi Yuanren glanced at it suspiciously. He knows that there is a characteristic of traditional Chinese medicine, almost every medicinal material can list a large number of "effective for such and such symptoms." "Very few of them actually make a difference," works? ”

"Of course it works, bleeding in the wild, immediately find a large thistle to decoction orally, and it will work immediately. Crushing and applying it externally can also stop bleeding. ”

Shi Yuanren thought that there was probably something in this that could reduce the clotting time. On the contrary, it is possible to organize research and study that the demand for hemostatic drugs in military battles in the future will not be less.

"Also: the alcohol-soaked liquor can lower blood pressure. It can also inhibit Mycobacterium tuberculosis humanis. ”

"Sounds good."

"This is a gastritis pill. Treats stomach pain, pantothenic acid, gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers. The main ingredient is cuttlefish bone. I got it from a seafood processing factory. It can also be used as a hemostatic drug, and the effect of treating knife wounds is very good.

"It's a pig gall pill." Liu San said, "There are a lot of things in charge, but I know that you are not interested in these, but there is a purpose that you will definitely find useful." ”

"Oh? Shi Gong"

"Cough suppressant." Liu San said, "The cough suppressant effect of pig bile powder has been pharmacologically tested. It can also cure night blindness. ”

Liu San took out another bottle with a danger mark, "Antitussive, antidiarrheal, and pain can all be used." ”

"How can addiction exist?

Liu San stretched out his hands: "It's hard to say, you have to do animal experiments." However, I have studied with Dean Zhao Xiaohu, and I have also turned over the medical books, and I have completely done six harms according to the pharmacopoeia one, and Jiang will not control the use of fire...

"Don't make it a panacea." Shi Yuanren instructed, "Divide into three varieties.

Antidiarrheal and painkillers are best made into tablets that are easy to take, and cough medicines that are made into syrup. Regardless of the type of medicine, it is necessary to ensure that the opium content is as small as possible while ensuring the efficacy. so as not to produce addiction. ”

Although opium addiction is not as powerful as modern drugs, it is also troublesome to get rid of.

"Haode, let's change the recipe." Liu San casually jotted down his request. took out a small wooden box and opened it mysteriously: "Doctor Shi, try it?" ”

Shi Yuanren looked at it. Inside the box is a half-wilted leaf, rolled into a clump.

"Betel nut?" He picked one up and stuffed it into his mouth. It's very bitter.

"It's coca leaves."

"Hmm," Shi Yuanren almost didn't spit out on the spot.

"You can rest assured. It's not addictive. Liu San laughed narrowly, "Or at most as addictive as betel nut." ”

Of course, Shi Yuanren knows that in South America, chewing coca leaves can be regarded as a "national habit". The Indians refreshed their minds, eliminated fatigue, and increased liliang; It is also used to keep out the cold, cure diseases, and relieve discomfort caused by stomach cramps, rheumatism, headaches, etc. It's a popular pastime.

"It's the leaves from the coca bush on the farm, and the tree is only very prolific. Everybody got a little bit. Liu San said. In the future, when the yield comes up, it will be able to pick a large number of them. ”

"What's the point of asking for this?"

"Coca leaves can also be pharmaceutical." Liu San said, "It's not better to use this instead of cigarettes as a pastime for the army and laborers." ”

"This" Shi Yuanren thought this is too good. But the coca leaf does have a strong uplifting effect, and it is indeed useful for the army and laborers, "Isn't it a bit too much." "No matter how you say it, Gu Huiye is also a soft drug. Although it is not very addictive.

"Amphetamine was prepared by the Yankees for the soldiers of the Third Shijie War, and there are many more people than us. Coca leaves are not as toxic as amphetamines. As he spoke, he pulled out another bottle from behind him. poured a full cup of black drink for Shi Yuanren. "Drink and see."

"What is this?" Shi Yuanren suddenly became vigilant.

"Coke."

"Coke? It's a rarity these days. Shi Yuanren looked at the letter suspiciously, took a sip, and sure enough, it was the taste of Coke, which tasted a little sweeter, but there was no Coke that had been out of gas for a long time.

"You deserve it?"

"Yes. The distillate of coca leaf is added to it. Seeing that Shi Yuanren was about to have a seizure, Liu San hurriedly added. Very little. Almost negligible. As long as we can have baking soda, we can make Coke. ”

It's really strange: Shi Yuanren thought to himself, the soda didn't work, but the kvass and Coke came out. He decided not to dwell on it any further. lest there be any strange things to trick him into being a guinea pig. Ask:

"How's it going about extracting willow bark last time I said?"

Willow bark has been an antipyretic analgesic since ancient times, and its active ingredient is salicylic acid. The modern drug aspirin was born on the basis of the analysis of this drug.

Aspirin is chemically synthesized, and it is still too early for the chemical level of the traverser, but it is not difficult to extract the active ingredient from willow bark, and it can also play a certain role.

"I'm doing it, I've extracted some. However, there are not many willow trees here. Liu San said.

"We can make Wu Nanhai more by the river. It can be used as a raw material to decorate the landscape. Shi Yuanren knows that there are very few effective medicinal ingredients contained in willow bark and willow leaves, and the extraction effect is limited, but aspirin is a very useful analgesic and antipyretics, as well as anticoagulant and antirheumatic effects. At this stage it is the most haode panacea.

Liu San said: "I have a request that the minister go to the Executive Committee to talk about. ”

"Oh, what do you want?"

"Acquire the crude drug store in the county."

"Runshitang?" Shi Yuanren knew that Liu San often went to this pharmacy to buy medicines, process medicinal materials or something, and cooperated happily with the other party. "You're not working well together."

"Shopkeeper Yang's idea is okay. It's safe to entrust them with things. But I'm not the owner, so I'm not in charge of a lot of things. A few professionals in it were wasted. He poured himself a glass of Coke in addition. The foundation of the crude medicine shop is too thin, and I can't even go to the medicine market, and the precious medicinal materials are too weak to never enter the seven as partners. It has to be given a blood transfusion. I wanted to put my own money in, but I didn't have the money

"Let the Executive Committee buy. And then you take the exam to be a shopkeeper? ”

"I don't want to be a treasurer, just be a proprietor and teach them how to do it. The shopkeeper Yang inside doesn't know much, but he is studious. It's a buildable material. ”
