Chapter 30: Refining, Maternal, and Cultivating

It's been almost a year since he came to the Republic of China, and Qin Feng hasn't bothered to visit his father-in-law's house. As Murong's son-in-law, this time Qin Feng came to Murong's house with gifts.

When Qin Feng saw Murong Qi, he was more or less surprised. He didn't expect Murong Qi to be a figure of the Western faction. Dressed in a well-cut suit, a Si Dig, and an English pipe in his mouth, this made Qin Feng, who was used to seeing the old man and always dressed in Chinese style, feel refreshed.

Moreover, Murong Qi has a humorous and witty conversation, far from being as old-fashioned as the old man, Qin Feng is really a little skeptical about how Murong Qi could become friends with his grandfather.

Murong Qi was very knowledgeable, studied in the United States in his early years, and after the Xinhai Revolution, he also returned to China with great ambition to serve, and Murong served in the Beiyang government. But after years of warlord melee and Yuan Shikai's proclamation as emperor, the disheartened Murong Qi chose to go back to his hometown and became a rich man with idle clouds and wild cranes.

When Qin Feng came to this era, it was rare to meet an elder who was more "modern" in thinking, and the old and the young talked very speculatively, from Sino-Japanese relations to the Great Depression of the American economy and Roosevelt's New Deal. Qin Feng didn't expect Murong Qi to know everything about the dynamics of today's world, and he couldn't help but feel very curious.

Murong Qi explained to Qin Feng with a smile: "Hehe, my son Youheng has been studying in the United States for many years, and he just returned to China this time, so I listened to him." ”

As he was talking, a man and a woman walked in from outside the door, the man looked like he was twenty-seven or eighteen, dressed in a suit, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that were very fashionable at that time. The girl beside him is, of course, Qin Feng's wife Murong Qingqing, with deep and bright eyes like black jewels under a pair of thin curved eyebrows, a handsome and straight nose, thin lips, a purple hat obliquely on her thick hair, a light blue dress, and half-high-heeled leather shoes under her feet that look fashionable and beautiful.

The girl jumped up and ran to Murong Qi's side and said affectionately, "Daddy, what are you talking about?" ”

Murong Qi patted the girl's arm dotingly, and could see that he was very fond of his daughter, and introduced to Qin Feng with a smile: "Ziyi, this is my son Youheng." Youheng is the one I just told you that I just came back from the United States. ”

Qin Feng hurriedly stood up and said hello to his eldest brother.

Murong Youheng politely stepped forward to say hello to Qin Feng, but it could be seen that he was a little indifferent to Qin Feng's identity.

Qin Feng hurriedly turned to Murong Youheng next to him: "I just heard that Brother Heng has been studying in the United States for many years, I don't know what major Brother Heng is studying?" ”

Murong Youheng was a little surprised when he heard Qin Feng take the initiative to ask about his major, and replied, "I studied medicine, mainly in pathology. ”

"Brother Qin, my eldest brother is a medical doctor from Harvard, very powerful." Murong Qingqing interjected on the side. It can be seen that the little girl admires her brother very much.

Hearing that Murong Youheng was actually a medical doctor from Harvard, and he studied pathology, Qin Feng's heart couldn't help but move. Although Smith sent people to find Fleming in the UK without any results, Qin Feng was also thinking about what to do after buying Fleming's research materials during this time? The main reason is that penicillin is still in its primary state, and further systematic research is needed for clinical application. The key is still the issue of talent.

"Brother Heng, you are studying pathology, so have you ever heard of penicillin, oh, it is penicillin?" Qin Feng asked.

"Penicillin? I seem to have seen this name before. Murong Youheng frowned and recalled for a while, and said, "Oh, by the way, I remembered that I had read a paper on penicillin in a medical journal, which seemed to have been written by a British pathologist named Fleming. It is mainly said that penicillin can inhibit the growth of staphyloglobin bacteria, but unfortunately this method of penicillin purification has not been found so far. Saying that, Murong Youheng couldn't help but look at Qin Feng strangely and said, "Qin Feng, penicillin is a newly discovered mold, yes, translated into Chinese it is indeed called penicillin, how do you know?" ”

Qin Feng didn't expect Murong Youheng to know about penicillin, so he hurriedly replied: "I had a lot of foreign friends when I was in Shanghai, and one of them was this Dr. Fleming is a friend, and once we happened to talk about Dr. Fleming's newly discovered penicillin, which is said to be very effective in controlling wound infections. ”

"Is it effective in controlling wound infection?" Murong Youheng was taken aback, you must know that there is no good way to control wound infection in this era. There were many patients who underwent surgery who could not overcome the problem of postoperative infection, and during World War I, half of the soldiers died from postoperative infection. In the afterlife, it would be like saying to a pathologist, "I have a cure for AIDS." ”

Qin Feng just wanted to explain that he had also heard it, but Murong Youheng waved his hand at Qin Feng again, frowning and thinking hard, he said to himself, "You let me think about it." I remember Dr. Fleming writing in his paper that he stumbled upon penicillin in a petri dish of Staphylococcus aureus, and he also found that some of the Staphylococcus aureus had been dissolved around penicillin. According to this statement, it should be effective in controlling wound infection. Staphylococcus aureus is highly salt-tolerant and has low susceptibility to sulfonamides, so how can penicillin dissolve it······"

Hearing Murong Youheng say such a pathological term, Qin Feng couldn't understand it at all.

"The biggest problem now is that it is impossible to extract this penicillin, so it is impossible to do further pathological research on it, and even if a method of extraction is found, it is impossible to find a suitable mother of penicillin, and how to cultivate it is also a problem?" Murong Youheng finally frowned and said.

Hearing Murong Youheng ask these three questions, Qin Feng's heart suddenly rejoiced, it seems that Murong Youheng, a Harvard doctor, was not given for nothing, and he got to the point as soon as he asked. He pretended to be puzzled and continued to ask: "If these three problems are solved, can this penicillin be used in clinical practice?" ”

"Refining, maternal, and culture, if these three problems are solved, you can first do experiments on animals, and if successful, you can immediately conduct clinical experiments. Once successful······" The more Murong Youheng spoke, the more excited he became, and when he said this, he suddenly stood up, his face flushed and said: "Once it is successful, it will have epoch-making significance in the history of human medicine, and it will save countless lives." ”

"Daddy, look at the eldest brother, as soon as he talks about his profession, he is excited like this." Murong Qingqing said.

For Murong Youheng's excited look, the Murong family also looked surprised. And Murong Qingqing always paid attention to Qin Feng's body, seeing that he could actually talk to his nerdy eldest brother.
