After coming out of the headquarters, Bai Fei took his brothers to a designated area near Chashan to rest. Since then, in addition to the necessary training, the Protector Army has eaten and slept all day long, slept and eaten, and lived a comfortable life.

Shanghai still rumbles with artillery every day, but the strange thing is that the Japanese attack is not as urgent as before, and the battle is still going on every day, but it is like a routine, come up and shoot a few shots, charge, you shoot me a few shots, I throw you a few grenades, and then retreat, each back to his own position.

In addition to paying attention to the battlefield situation every day, Bai Fei was thinking about how to make money, and finally hit the idea on penicillin's head.

To the west of the recuperation area was a field hospital for seriously wounded people who had been brought down from the front line, and more than a dozen wounded brothers from the Protectorate Army were also treated there. Bai Fei went to visit a few times, and accidentally met a doctor named Mei Yuehai, and found that this person was not simple when chatting.

It turned out that this Mei Yuehai was a returned overseas Chinese, who graduated from Columbia University with a doctorate in medicine, and then responded to the call of the country, returned to China to set up an industry, and founded Huimin Lihua Pharmaceutical Factory in Shanghai.

In the process of escaping from Shanghai, Mei Yuehai saw that the soldiers of the Nationalist Army suffered heavy casualties, and many of them died in pain because of lack of medical treatment and medicine, so he resolutely threw himself into the field hospital and joined the ranks of rescuing the wounded.

After Bai Fei learned about Mei Yuehai's situation, his eyes suddenly lit up. That night, Bai Fei took advantage of Mei Yuehai's rest to invite him to the army station, and a table of wine and food had already been prepared in the house, and the two sides exchanged a few polite words before sitting down.

Bai Fei picked up the wine jar on the table and said to Mei Yuehai: "Mr. has lived overseas for a long time, I don't know if I am used to drinking this Shaoxing daughter red?" Now Shanghai is in full swing, lack of materials, today this wine is also a waste of a lot of effort to find, the wine is thin and the dishes are slight, and I hope Mr. Don't care. ”

Mei Yuehai said: "Where is the head of the white group, my ancestral home is also in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, when I was in the United States, the elders of the family often brewed some wine, I grew up drinking it since I was a child, and I have returned to China for a few years, there is no reason not to be used to it." Besides, now is a critical moment of national peril, and everyone should work together to reduce food and clothing to resist foreign humiliation, although I am an overseas Chinese, but I also have the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang in my body, and I should do my part for this in it, how can I be an exception? I am very grateful for the hospitality of Captain Bai today, where do you dare to be picky. ”

Bai Fei poured the wine and said, "Everyone is united to resist external insults, that's a good point!" Come, Mr. May, let's make a toast to this sentence! ”

The two of them picked up the wine cup and touched it and drank it all.

Bai Fei said: "I heard that Mr. Mei gave up his comfortable life in the United States, first returned to China to establish an industrial prosperous state, and now he has devoted himself to the medical field to save my Chinese athletes, what he has done makes me admire, if there are more people like Mr. in China, it is really a blessing for China!" ”

Mei Yuehai sighed: "What I did was a trivial matter, and the work of the end was not worth mentioning, and it was really not as vigorous as Commander Bai who personally carried a knife and gun to kill the enemy." Sometimes I also think that it is more refreshing to simply abandon the doctor and take a gun from Rong to kill the enemy than to stay in the hospital every day! ”

Bai Fei waved his hand and said: "Mr. Mei, you are wrong about this, in fact, whether it is medicine or saving people, it is the same as killing the enemy in battle, they are all contributing to the Chinese nation, but the division of labor is different." And all I do is kill the enemy with a gun, as long as I have hands and feet, everyone can do it; But what you do is to save people with a scalpel, the requirements are very high, and there are a few people who can replace you in China, so what you do is not a trivial matter. Every time you save someone, it is equivalent to sending one more soldier to the front line, saving 100,100,100,100,000, that is, a company, a regiment, and a division. With such a big contribution, how can the credit be small. ”

Mei Yuehai took a sip of wine from the wine cup, and said with a wry smile: "One person's ability and energy are always limited, who can save 10,000 people?" I'm afraid I won't be able to do it in a lifetime, and doctors are not omnipotent, and they can't do anything about many diseases. ”

Bai Fei also took a sip of wine, and said meaningfully: "If I say that you can do it, what will you think?" ”

Mei Yuehai was stunned: "How is this possible?" ”

"Possibly!" Bai Fei put down the wine cup and said, "Let me ask you a question first, what kind of disease has the highest mortality rate among the injured people in the hospital now?" ”

Mei Yuehai didn't want to think about it and said: "The highest mortality rate of the injured is nothing more than wound infection, tetanus, sepsis, etc., no one can do anything about this, but pray to the heavens." ”

Bai Fei said with a smile: "If there is a medicine that can treat these diseases, including pneumonia, tuberculosis, meningitis, endocarditis, diphtheria, anthrax and all other diseases caused by bacterial infections, it can be treated, do you still think you can't save 10,000 people?" ”

Mei Yuehai only thought Bai Fei was joking, picked up the wine cup and took another sip, and said with a smile: "That's a miracle medicine, but unfortunately there is no such medicine yet." ”

"Here, look at this!" Bai Fei took out a booklet from his pocket, which he copied after exchanging the penicillin manufacturing method with the system.

"Penicillin?" Mei Yuehai took the booklet and glanced at it twice, and was immediately attracted by the content inside. He is a medical doctor, so he naturally knows if what is written in it is nonsense. The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, the more excited he became, and finally closed the booklet and stammered: "This... Is this penicillin really so effective? ”

Bai Fei nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it's true!" In fact, this thing was discovered by the British scientist Fleming in the experiment as early as 1928, but no one paid attention to it, by the way, he also published a paper, you can check it when you go back. If you still have doubts and have the right equipment at hand, you can also follow the methods in the booklet to do experiments and extract some to try. ”

Mei Yuehai immediately got up and was about to go back to do the experiment, but was pulled alive by Bai Fei, and said in his heart that no matter how anxious he was, he was not in a hurry at this time, there were other things that had not been said.

Mei Yuehai had no choice but to sit down, and the two muttered and talked for a long time, until ten in the middle of the night, when Bai Fei sent someone to send him back.

Five days later, Mei Yuehai came to Bai Fei with an excited face, and said to him excitedly: "It's done!" This medicine really works wonders! ”

Bai Fei smiled: "You made it?" ”

Mei Yuehai nodded excitedly and said: "I went back that day, I did the experiment, these days I threw myself on it, yesterday at noon finally purified a little bit, and then I was apprehensive, on a dying sepsis injured person carried out a drug clinical experiment, I didn't expect it to be useful, the injured person's high fever quickly subsided, I observed for another day, there was no abnormal reaction, it seems that his condition has stabilized." ”

Bai Fei said: "Okay, since this is the case, I don't think you have to stay in Shanghai anymore, hurry up and carry out our plan, mass produce this medicine as soon as possible, and our compatriots can also die less on the battlefield." ”

Mei Yuehai nodded: "You're right, I'll leave for the United States immediately to handle this matter." ”
