Volume 1 Yangcheng Shaojie Chapter 12 You are not alone
Lan Wang can't take care of the steam engine for the time being, he cares about the condition of the wounded!
If it is really a steam engine failure, then there is a high probability that these injuries are all steam burns. This type of burn is very tricky to deal with in the in-situ plane, let alone in this Tianzhou world, where there is little medical treatment!
In line with the principle of prioritizing the treatment of important patients, Lan Wang first came to the grandson of Prince Wen.
This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, not much older than Lan Wang. The lower part of his left cheek was almost completely burned, and his skin was textured as rough as rotten leather; The upper body is naked, and there are large burn wounds on the front chest and left and right arms, some of which are blistered and some are completely burned.
According to the medical hierarchy of the in-situ plane, the total area of burns on the skin of the patient's trunk is at least 15%, and most of them are third-degree burns, which can be classified as severe burns. Such patients should indeed be treated as a priority.
"Young Master Wen, can you hear me?" Lan Wang asked the patient on the stretcher.
Prince Wen's grandson opened his eyes, and his chapped and wrinkled lips slowly moved: "You are... Doctor... β
Fortunately, the patient is at least conscious and has not fallen into shock for the time being.
Our Dr. Xiao Chen intends to treat patients with a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Lan Wang quickly took out a few silver needles and pierced several acupuncture points on the patient's intact skin. These acupuncture points can help keep the patient conscious and prevent the patient from contracting the chest cavity and suffocating due to muscle and skin atrophy.
"Grandson, Doctor Chen is here! You have to hold on, hold on! Prince Wen was crying. He rushed over and grabbed his grandson's hand, "It's going to be fine, it's going to be okay... β
Lan Wang turned to the prince: "The prince must not mess up!" Patients need to be quiet now! β
Prince Wen quickly closed his mouth, but his eyes were still full of anxiety and sadness.
Lan Wang didn't bring any equipment or medicine with him except for a few silver needles he carried with him. He quickly found a pen and paper, quickly wrote two prescriptions and handed them to Prince Wen: "Lord Wang, you quickly arrange someone to catch the medicine on the prescription!" The first recipe is mashed into a paste according to the instructions, and the second recipe is directly crushed into powder, send it quickly, send more! Without further ado, it matters to save lives! β
"Go, go, go! Buy me all the medicines that match the prescription in one stick of incense! It's a mess, be careful that I peel your skin!! The prince turned around and yelled at a few of his attendants and servants.
The prince of the chamber over there sent someone to buy medicine, and Lan Wang was not idle here. He said to Zu Yuan again: "Zu Shangshu, there are not enough people here, so I have to ask your old man to call some servants at home, and ask them to bring more bandages and wormwood and silver needles for acupuncture, the more the better!" β
Zu Yuan didn't bring his entourage, he directly turned on his horse and galloped away.
Lan Wang didn't intend to just wait. He quickly began to treat other burn patients. It's also a shame that he brought some more silver needles today, otherwise it would not be enough to treat these twenty or so patients. After confirming that all the patients were conscious and showed no signs of shock or suffocation, Xiao Langzhong breathed a sigh of relief.
But the battle is far from over.
The real killer after a burn is severe intercurrent infection, electrolyte imbalance due to plasma loss, and secondary internal organ failure. Only by surviving these hurdles can patients with severe burns be initially out of danger.
After a while, the medicine prescribed by Lan Wang arrived, and there was a cart. Lan Wang and Prince Wen, together with the helpers called by Zu Shangshu, began to debride, disinfect, and medicate the wounded. Lan Wang still used acupuncture to relieve the pain first, then rubbed the patient's burn wound with medicated water, then applied a paste-like medicinal dressing to the wound, and finally tied the bandage. According to common sense, burn patients should be initially disinfected with hydrogen peroxide, and then disinfected with iodophor for the second time. It's just that there is no hydrogen peroxide in this plane at all, let alone iodine, and it is even more wishful thinking to use topical antibiotics, so Lan Wang can only use a simple potion recipe learned from Jade Jian to debride the injured.
However, it seems that the quality of these drugs is very good, and the effect is no worse than that of the Western medicine corresponding in the original plane.
The next step is to rehydrate the burn patient. Theoretically, fluids should be given by intravenous fluids, but there are no qualified needles here! Therefore, Lan Wang still reluctantly used oral rehydration solutions. Although this method is relatively poor in electrolyte absorption, there seems to be no other option at this time. Several large water tanks were carried, and the medicinal herbs prepared according to Lan Wang's prescription were also soaked in.
"Every half an hour, we have to feed the wounded number! It must not be left behind, everyone must drink water, and the water must be fully replenished! Lan Wang instructed the servants recruited by Zu Yuan beside him, not paying attention to the fact that the words he said inadvertently already had the style of the original plane, "These pain-relieving silver needles must be kept, and they can only be pulled out after three hours!" β
"This makeshift shed is too shabby, and the sanitary conditions are not good, so we have to move the wound to a place with walls around it and ventilation!"
The injured craftsmen were hurriedly transferred to their own dormitories - most of the craftsmen in the Wenjia Workshop were outsiders, and except for a few people who dragged their families with their families, they were basically bachelors, and they all had room and board in the workshop, so they naturally had their own dormitories. It was a little more basic, but at least it was covered by tiles, the house was clean and dry, and the craftsmen liked to live there.
After everything was settled, Lan Wang returned to the shed. In this shed, only the grandson of Prince Wen is now sick. After a while, the messenger from the prince's mansion would come and carry Wang Sun back to the mansion in a sedan chair, so Wang Sun was waiting here.
The prince was afraid that he would make a noise to his grandson, so he just gestured to Lan Wang with his eyes and mouth shape, expressing his gratitude. Lan Wang didn't talk to Zu Yuan and Wen Shili much, but went back to take care of Prince Wen's grandson.
As soon as he approached the marching couch where Wang Sun was lying, he heard this sickly and tired young man who was five or six years older than himself muttering to himself in a low voice: "No, this can't be... What went wrong? The design is qualified, there is no error in riveting, the material is clear, and the cylinder has withstood the maximum pressure threshold during the previous trial operation. . . Why did it explode? How can this be, how to change... There shouldn't be an accident.,I've assembled and operated so many times in college mechanical classes.,Why still.γγγ β
Lan Wang had been busy treating the wounded before, and he didn't have time to think about it, but now that he came back to his senses and heard what this Wang Sun said, he strengthened the judgment in his heart.
He is not alone in this other world.
Lan Wang wasn't 100% sure that this person was a traverser, but he already understood eight or nine points in his heart. He crouched down and whispered to the wounded, "You shouldn't be cranky now, you should have a good rest." β
The young man turned a deaf ear to Lan Wang's persuasion, and was still talking to himself.
Our former mercenary intends to use some means to test this Wen Wang Sun.
A mysterious smile hung on the corner of the Lan family's mouth: "Don't be discouraged, it is difficult to avoid production accidents caused by the failure of the early steam engine, and there is a certain chance that the first batch of trial machines will have defects." You know, even when Watt improved the steam engine, he tried it hundreds of times before it succeeded! β
The young man's eyes on the marching bed instantly widened, his facial muscles twitched violently, and his body struggled to sit up: "You... You... β
Lan Wang had already gotten the answer he wanted.
He gently pressed Wang Sun's shoulder, and whispered to his fellow traveler who was sick and at the same time, "Okay, okay, you need to recuperate now, and you can't move!" β
"All you need to know is that I will be able to cure you and get you back to work in the factory!"
"You are not alone in this world."
Wen Wangsun fell asleep, and the Wenjia Workshop gradually restored order, and stagnant production gradually resumed.
Lan Wang was talking to the two old men outside the shed. Prince Wen is very grateful to Lan Wang: "Dr. Xiao Chen saved my Wen family twice, and even saved Wenjia Workshop!" If there wasn't Lan's Medical Center today, I really don't know what to do! β
The prince wiped the sweat from his head as he spoke. Zu Yuan comforted on the side: "Lord Wen, you can also relax, the doctor has said that the nephew and grandson are safe now, as long as they go home to recuperate for a while, they will get better." The nephew and grandson Jiren have their own natural appearance, and they will definitely be fine! β
Lan Wang thought to himself: I didn't say that the patient was out of danger just now, I only said that he was "temporarily safe"!
But he doesn't plan to say this, for fear of affecting the doctor-patient relationship!
Here, the two old and one young were chatting, and Lan Wang saw a young man who was slightly older than Wen Wangsun running towards the shed in a hurry. The young man is not handsome, but he is also very thoughtful, about twenty years old, and he has a good figure compared to the slightly bloated Wen Wangsun. However, the young man was dressed in a very strange way: he wore gloves on both hands, and the barrels of the gloves were pulled up to the elbows; The upper body was a thick coarse cloth garment, and a gray, almost apron was wrapped around it; On his forehead is a pair of "glasses" with two thin slits.
He ran anxiously to this side, and as soon as he stood still, he shouted, "Wen Tongxin!" Is Master Wen here? β
Prince Wen was surprised: "Director Li? What are you doing here? β
The young man known as "Director Li" ignored the big boss of Wenjia Workshop, but turned around and caught Lan Wang: "Little friend, have you seen Master Wen who is in charge of the steamer room?" How is he? You okay?! β
You're the kid! Your whole family is a little kid!
I slandered in my heart, but I couldn't say it on my lips, maybe this is another accomplice of the traverser!
"Please be quiet, the patient is resting!" Lan Wang lowered his voice, but his attitude was quite stern, like the doctor or nurse in the hospital in his previous life who scolded his family members to make them quieter.
The young man in the funny apron was obviously stunned: "You... Are you a doctor? β
"yes, I am." Lan Wang replied, "Lan's Medical Center on Guiyang Street, Chen Fengliang." β
"The Master Wen you are talking about, is it the grandson of Prince Wen?"
"Yes, yes! How is he now? β
"The patient is not completely out of danger now, but his condition has stabilized. I have just debrided him and the bandaging has been completed, as long as the dressing is changed frequently in the next few days, and there is enough rehydration infusion, to get through the dangerous period of post-burn infection. β
In fact, Lan Wang could have come up with a better prescription to make Wen Tongxin, that is, Master Wen, heal quickly. The jade slips taught by Master Fengyun contained several special wound medicines that could make wounds heal quickly. But the problem is: the compatibility of these drugs is very strange, the amount is difficult to grasp, the medicinal materials needed are either extremely expensive or very rare, and Lanwang really can't match all the ingredients of the drugs in Yangguan Town in a short time.
But this also had a potential benefit: Lan Wang had to heal his patients in a more traditional way, which also led him to subconsciously utter a large number of medical instructions that only a doctor on the original plane would say.
The young man in the apron heard Lan Wang's authentic doctor's instructions, and the whole person was completely stunned, staring at Lan Wang, who was two heads shorter than him, and was stunned for a long time before he said, "Thank you, doctor... What do you call you? β
Young Master Lan suddenly had black lines on his head: Didn't I tell you what my surname was just now!
But he thought about it: If the young man in front of him also came through, then can he understand his question as - what did you do in your previous life?
However, he didn't want to reveal his identity so early, so he still replied: "Just call me Dr. Xiao Chen." β
After all, Zu Yuan and Wen Shili were still beside them, and Lan Wang's performance should not be too weird.
The young man in the apron stared at Lan Wang for a long time, and he stared at Lan Wang a little hairy. After a long time, he stretched out his right hand: "Meet me, Li Changting, the director of the chemical department of Wenjia Workshop." β
Oh, it turned out to be a chemistry, no wonder he was so well-dressed, Lan Wang thought.
This time he was sure that the man was a traverser.
Lan Wang also stretched out his hand, one big and one small, holding together.
In this way, the Chief of Army Staff and the Director of the Royal Academy of Sciences, the future Commander-in-Empire, completed the historic handshake.
"Dr. Chen, can I go to the shed to see the patient?" Li Changting asked.
"Absolutely." Lan Wang understood and walked into the pergola with the "director of the Ministry of Chemical Industry".
Director Li simply inspected Wang Wen's situation, and after confirming that he was fine, he was silent for a long time. After a while, he turned around and looked at Lan Wang with blazing eyes:
"No one here can hear us. Brother, what year did you come here? β
Is it so straightforward?! Didn't even do a little foreshadowing?!
People in science and engineering are really rectums, Lan Wangbelly scolded.
"20XX." Lan Wang was not ambiguous at all, "Formerly known as Leng Xuanji, the former captain of the XX Special Brigade directly under the XX Theater of Operations, and the head of the XX Mercenary Regiment. β
"I came in 20XX, a year before you." Li Changting responded, "Formerly known as Wang Sijing, he graduated from XX University with a major in inorganic chemical engineering and is an engineer in XX chemical enterprise. β
Lan Wangyi grinned, revealing a sly smile that belonged to a child: "What about the one on the bed?" β
"He crossed at the same time as me, and it turned out that his surname was Wen, called Wen Wubin. We're alumni, but he's a mechanical engineering major. After he graduated, he worked in XX Heavy Industry to do industrial machinery design, one day the two of us met in a restaurant, so we drank two glasses together, all of them were broken, and we woke up here. The expression on Director Li's face was full of helplessness and sarcasm, "I don't know if I didn't have braids in my previous life, so I came over in a daze, and my father, mother, wife, and children all threw it away!" β
"I'm a little better than you, at least I know whether I was dead or alive in my previous life." Lan Wang's voice also inexplicably carried a hint of bitterness, "When I went out on a mission, a rocket exploded next to it, and the people were probably all fragmented, right?" β
"I'm sorry."
"There's nothing to be sorry for, aren't we coming to the next life? I don't know if this counts as reincarnation! Anyway, God is merciful, so that a few of us can live again. It's a pity... It's so fucked up to come to this place! The former mercenary laughed and laughed at himself.
"yes, who's to say it isn't." The head of the chemical department also fell into melancholy.
"By the way, then again, how are you two doing here? Did the gold finger come out? I'm counting on hugging the thighs of you two industrial parties! Lan Wang laughed, trying to improve the atmosphere.
Li Changting also smiled dumbly: "There are some developments, but the golden finger is not counted!" I'm a student of inorganic chemistry, and I didn't feel comfortable at first when I got here, because I found that all the things I had learned were not working in this plane. The types and periods of elements in this plane are very different from our original planes. Metallic elements are very similar but not identical, and the non-metallic element groups are very different, except for several common elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, other non-metals do not seem to exist in this world or do not match the periodic table of the original plane. β
"I've been building a lab in this workshop for a few years now, and I've just figured out the common elements of the plane and their compounds, and it feels like I'm going back to middle school and learning chemistry all over again, but it's completely different! Luckily, though, the plane still has coal and ironβblack flint and black gold, to be exact. When we bought the ore in our workshop, I deliberately got some samples to do a simple chemical analysis, and the composition was correct, and the ink gold was a variety of oxides of iron, and the main component of coal was also carbon. But there are still many organic components in the coal of this plane, which we can neither recognize nor isolate now. β
"But fortunately, there is coal and iron in our vicinity, and if we want to build a coal-iron complex for industrialization, there is a foundation. I have seen that the iron ore produced near Yangguan Town has an iron content of about 40%, and the quality is very good; I have also done combustion experiments on coal, which are all high-quality anthracite, mixed with a small amount of bituminous coal. However, bituminous coal is not necessarily used for burning, it can also be used for coking. I haven't found sulfur or anything like sulfur in these coals β I suspect there is no sulphur in the world at all β so we don't even have to desulphurize until we burn the coal, which is a bonus. β
Speaking of this, Director Li frowned again: "But no!" I've been experimenting for a long time, looking for a lot of materials with similar properties, but I just can't make them. In addition, it basically means that we can't make a modern heat weapon unless we make a decisive breakthrough. β
Lan Wang realized that he was no longer able to understand what the engineering dog in front of him was saying, so he politely interrupted him: "Then what is the progress of this Master Wen lying on the bed?" β
As soon as he said this, he felt that his trick of changing the subject was really terrible, because he just changed the topic from one science and engineering subject to another.
"Lao Wen has been tossing the steam engine after the crossing. In order to make a machine, he went outside to find a lot of blacksmiths, coppersmiths, carpenters, spent a lot of drawings, and conducted a lot of material strength experiments, just to find qualified materials to make boilers, cylinders, connecting rods and other things for steam engines. The details are not within my area of expertise, and I don't know very well, but he complained to me that the iron made in the small clay blast furnace we built ourselves was of poor quality and strength enough to be used to make parts for steam engines. In the end, he seems to have solved it with wood. β
"Wood?! Can wood be used to assemble a steam engine? "Lan Wang, even if he is not good at science and engineering, knows that wood cannot be used to make steam engines.
"Of course, it's not all wood, but hardwood for the connecting rods, balance arms, frame parts such as flywheels, and reinforcing wedges at movable joints, and the parts that come into contact with the steam still have to be honestly metal." "The wood used comes from a deciduous tree called pomegranate, which is strong enough and tough enough to not burn at hundreds of degrees Celsius, so it can be used as a substitute for metal in places where there is little stress. In order to make the flywheel of the steam engine, Master Xiaowen even went to find a dozen wheelmakersβyou know how hard it is to find a wheelmakerβto carve out the flywheel of the steam engine out of hardwood! β
"Wow, that's pretty hard." Lan Wang quipped, but then became serious again, "But do you know why these steam engines have problems this time?" I've heard that the cylinders of eight steam engines exploded almost simultaneously! How is this possible? I always felt like it wasn't like an accident. β
"I feel weird, too." Li Changting frowned, "Wen Tongxin's craftsmanship and technology are obvious to all in the workshop, and the apprentices under him have no problem, Master Wen even spent more than a year training a group of fitters, and the movable joints on the steam engine and the joints of the boiler shell are all wedged and riveted by these apprentices by hand!" Although these small workers have not yet taken off the hat of 'apprenticeship', how can there be such a big mistake in the assembly machine, right? β
"Yes, the probability of eight machines failing at the same time is too small and too small." Lan Wang pondered for a while and said, "Have you ever offended anyone in your workshop, or have you ever had conflicts or conflicts with anyone?" β
When Director Li heard this, he smiled bitterly: "You mean that there are any rivals in our workshop, right?" Yes and no. You also know our boss, it is Prince Wen, even if this person is down, he is also a righteous royal nobleman, and there are still very few people in Yangguan Town who dare to blatantly look for his bad luck. Director Li said while looking at Wen Shili, who was still anxiously waiting for someone from the house to pick up his grandson, "But the problem is: after our workshop was built, the scale expanded rapidly, and we recruited workers everywhere, and we also brought in the displaced people outside Yangguan Town to enrich the labor force, so we robbed many people of their jobs." There are a lot of small craftsmen around the workshop who have gone bankrupt, a small number of people have entered our workshop, and most of them have lost their jobs and have been forced to find other ways to make a living, and there is certainly no small amount of dissatisfaction. In addition, the conflict between migrant workers and locals is also a big problem, and our workshop has dealt with many disputes between the craftsmen in the workshop and the residents outside. By the way, after we started working on the steam engine, there were always rumors circulating in the workshop that we were doing 'witchcraft' in the workshop and were going to create demon-powered mechanisms! I've heard a lot of things like that outside with my apprentices. β
"Hehe, we haven't started industrialization yet, and we have crushed the local small handicraft industry just by relying on the scale effect!" Lan Wang lamented, "But it also means that those who are dissatisfied with the workshop outside will become a destabilizing factor, as long as someone instigates it... β
"Oh no! Oh no! Someone is making a fuss outside the factory! The sound of a craftsman shouting from far and near, brought the conversation between the two traversers to an abrupt end.
This person ran to Prince Wen: "Dongjia, it's not good!" Our yard is besieged! A large group of people came outside, saying that they wanted to ask for some explanation! The sedan chair that came to pick up Wang Sun couldn't get in at all! β
"Boss, you have an idea!"
Lan Wang patted his head:
"Holy, I crow's mouth!"
