"Woo~~~"

"Boom, boom!"

The train from Guangzhou gradually stopped at Hankou Station.

Huang Minglong took off his glasses, wiped them, carried his luggage, and walked off the train in the dust. He received his doctorate from the University of Berlin in 1924 and, two years earlier, had studied at the Institute of Chemistry at the University of Witzburg, where he had been a visiting professor.

According to the original history, Huang Minglong did not return to China until 1940, worked in the Institute of Chemistry of the Academia Sinica, and concurrently served as a professor of Southwest Associated University, and was elected an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

But just a month ago, Huang Minglong received a telegram from his mentor Zhao Binghuang, saying that Zhou Hexuan was going to open a sulfonamide pharmaceutical factory in Chongqing and was in urgent need of chemical and pharmaceutical professionals. He immediately interrupted his studies in Germany and rushed back to China.

Before Huang Minglong stepped out of the platform, he saw a sign in the crowd holding his name high.

"Hello, I'm Huang Minglong." Huang Minglong walked over and said.

The other party was a young man and said with a smile: "Hello Dr. Huang, my name is Zhao Qixiong." ”

Huang Minglong immediately asked, "Who are you, Mr. Zhao?" ”

"Uncle clan," Zhao Qixiong said, "Uncle asked me to pick you up." ”

Hearing that Zhao Qixiong was the nephew of his mentor, Huang Minglong immediately became much more kind to him, nodded and said, "I'm tired." ”

The two took a rickshaw to a hotel, where many elites in chemistry and medicine had gathered, more than 30 of them, and when the people gathered, they would go to Chongqing.

These people are roughly divided into two factions, one is brought in by Fan Xudong, mainly engaged in chemical research. The other faction was brought by Zhao Changhuang, mainly focusing on drug research.

Zhou Hexuan convened chemical and pharmaceutical professionals this time, and instead of posting a hero post, he directly sent a telegram asking Fan Xudong and Xu Guanqun for help.

Fan Xudong's Yongli sulfuric acid plant in Nanjing, which produced China's first ammonium sulfate products, can provide raw materials for China's own fertilizer and explosives. It's a pity that not long after the sulfuric acid plant was built, the Qiqi Incident broke out, and now the factory is busy relocating.

The preparation of sulfonamides requires a large number of acidic raw materials, which can be cooperated with Fan Xudong.

Fan Xudong was well aware of the importance of the war against sulfonamides, and after receiving Zhou Hexuan's telegram, he immediately dispatched professional personnel to support him, and mobilized his connections to recruit relevant chemical talents for Zhou Hexuan.

As for Xu Guanqun, he is the owner of Xinya Pharmaceutical Company, China's first western pharmaceutical company (Chinese-funded), and the famous heatstroke medicine "Ten Drops of Water" was developed by this pharmaceutical company.

Xu Guanqun had no intention of leaving Shanghai, and handed over the task of recruiting talents to his partner Zhao Rudiao.

Coincidentally, due to the impact of the war in North China, Zhao Rudiao's elder brother Zhao Changhuang's work at the Beiping Research Institute was interrupted. Zhao Changhuang is one of the founders of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, received a telegram from his younger brother, immediately contacted his protégé, and brought Zhou Hexuan's New Year's Friendship with Mr. Sightseeing to help.

Although Zhong Guanguan is a botanist, he is also involved in pharmacology, and has been collecting and verifying traditional Chinese medicine with Zhao Changhuang for the past two years.

Huang Minglong, a future academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, was also a student of Zhao Changhuang earlier, and a telegram called people back from Germany.

As for Zhao Qixiong, who picked up Huang Minglong at the train station, he is also a powerful figure in the future, this person is a master of pharmacy from the Imperial University of Japan, and later founded Xinsheng Pharmaceutical Company in Taipei. He is also the future chairman of Watson Pharmaceutical Company in the United States, and the CEO of Watson Pharmaceutical, the third largest pharmaceutical company in the United States in the 21st century, is Zhao Yutian, the son of Zhao Qixiong.

Of course, Zhao Yutian was not born at this time, because Zhao Qixiong had not married Xu Hua yet.

Well, Xu Hua also came this time.

Xu Hua is the younger sister of Xu Guanqun, the boss of Xinya Pharmaceutical Company, graduated from Sino-French University with a major in pharmacology. By the way, Xu Guanqun's son and Xu Hua's nephew Xu Qingrui will become an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in the future.

Everyone took the river ferry to Chongqing, and along the way, Xu Hua's eyes stayed on Zhao Qixiong, and his admiration was overflowing.

The Xu family and the Zhao family are world friends and business partners, and Zhao Changhuang is happy to see the two juniors come to fruition.

On the deck of the river wheel, Zhao Changhuang said to Zhang Fuzhong: "Wuwu, this time I have to rely on you more!" ”

Zhang Fuzhong said: "Work together to do your best for the country." ”

Zhang Fuzhong used to be a student of Zhao Changhuang, this gentleman used his spare time to study German, English, and Japanese foreign languages, and was also keen to participate in strikes, strikes, and school strikes.

Zhang Fuzhong is currently the director of Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Factory's No. 2 Pharmaceutical Factory, and teaches at Jiaotong University, Tongji University, and Sino-French University. Even without Zhou Hexuan's help, he would have led his students to successfully imitate sulfadiazine, and also imitated more than 30 Western medicines such as vitamin B1 and dysentery - of course, this is all for later.

In order to invite Zhang Fuzhong, Zhou Hexuan took out 200,000 yuan to compensate Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Factory, if it weren't for the sake of the country and the people, Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Factory would not let people go at all.

Speaking of Wuzhou Pharmaceutical Factory, we have to mention Mr. Xiang Songmao.

Xiang Songmao is a major capitalist in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, spanning multiple industrial and commercial sectors, and serving as a director of 13 companies in Shanghai. After the 918 Incident, Mr. Xiang publicly stated in the newspaper that his company would never import Japanese goods. At the same time, he organized all the employees of his enterprise into the first battalion of the Volunteer Army, served as the battalion commander, hired military instructors for strict training, and each employee had to train for one hour after work.

During the Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai in 128, Xiang Songmao rushed to make medicines and provide them to the Chinese defenders, and personally organized employees to participate in the defense of Shanghai. On the third day of the 128 Incident, Xiang Songmao and 11 of his employees were killed by the invading Japanese army.

Zhang Fuzhong and Xiang Songmao are close friends, and he went to Germany to study chemistry when he was funded by Xiang Songmao.

Now Xiang Songmao has been killed by the Japanese for more than six years, Zhang Fuzhong sees that Shanghai is not safe, and he is unwilling to stay in Shanghai as a slave. received the invitation of Zhou Hexuan and his mentor Zhao Changhuang, and immediately packed his bags and moved away, if he could produce sulfonamides in large quantities, it would be regarded as completing his friend Xiang Songmao's unfinished ambition in disguise.

Zhang Fuzhong not only went to Chongqing by himself, but also brought eight students, all of whom were high-achieving students with practical experience in R&D and pharmaceutical development.

Zhao Qixiong's girlfriend Xu Hua is also one of Zhang Fuzhong's students. However, Xu Hua studied at the Sino-French University as a junior college, and only listened to Zhang Fuzhong's lectures, and did not receive individual guidance, she mainly followed her boyfriend.

Zhao Changhuang asked Huang Minglong again: "Why didn't Mingju come back?" ”

"He is doing research in Austria, and he has reached a critical period, and he will return to China when the research is completed." Huang Minglong said.

The Huang family has three brothers, namely Huang Minghu, Huang Mingju and Huang Minglong, all of whom are experts in pharmacology and are known as the "Three Heroes of the Huang Family".

Huang Minghu specializes in traditional Chinese medicine, has a deep study of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and is also the long-distance running champion of the Shanghai World Games. Huang Mingju is the founder of modern toxicological analytical chemistry in China, while Huang Minglong specializes in organic chemistry and chemical pharmaceuticals.

The elite intellectuals in the Republic of China were all related to each other, and a lot of them came out.
