Chapter 281: A ...... Caused by a Rotten Watermelon
"They were also found under your old supervision, and they all have a share of the credit! It's okay to find out later, as long as you actually get that thing out. 23us. "Li Hao replied after hearing this, he was more interested in how this thing was produced.
"Coincidentally, their discovery has something to do with something you provided." After listening to it, Lao Sun explained, in short, everything was very coincidental.
The discovery of penicillin is not unusual, and there is how to cultivate it on a small scale in some of the rough materials mentioned by Li Hao before, but it is difficult to produce it on a large scale. The same was true of Li Hao's students, who soon discovered a small amount of penicillin.
Although this is still far from producing penicillin, Li Hao's students are still very happy. One day, one of Li Hao's penicillin students was walking on the street outside the laboratory gate after work, and saw that Li Hao happened to have someone pull a cart of watermelons for them from the south.
The watermelons that Li Hao transported to them were naturally good watermelons, and the watermelons in this car looked very good. Li Hao's student bent down and stretched out his index finger to tap this one, tap that one. Ready to choose a few to go back to the laboratory to eat, this way of inspecting melons was taught to them by Li Hao.
He was about to pick up the selected watermelons and go back to the laboratory to eat with his brothers, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a crushed watermelon on the carriage. Although this watermelon is larger than the others, the skin has festered in several places, and a layer of green mold has grown on it.
Li Hao's student stared at this rotten melon for a long time, and then frowned and thought for a while. During this time, he had been studying penicillin and was very familiar with it. After seeing the watermelon, he didn't care about eating other good watermelons, so he took it back to the laboratory.
After Li Hao's student returned to the laboratory with the rotten watermelon in his hand, the people in the laboratory turned out to be the same as him, not to see if the watermelon could be eaten, but to see the green mold on the watermelon at a glance.
Several people immediately removed a bit of green mold from the melon and began to cultivate the culture. Soon, the results of the experiment came out, and to the excitement of Li Hao's students, the amount of penicillin obtained from rotten watermelons suddenly increased from 40 units per cubic centimeter to 200 units.
This discovery made Li Hao's students immediately excited, and then called his senior brother who was studying with him, and Lao Sun happened to be wandering around the laboratory at this time, so he suppressed this matter first.
"So, now the production of penicillin has reached a relatively ideal output value?" Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Lao Sun's words, although it was a relatively primitive way, but it was already very good to have this kind of output, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied with.
It seems that in my memory, the batch production of penicillin seems to have something to do with a broken watermelon, and I remember what it seems to be called a broken watermelon to attract the Nobel Prize or something, but I didn't expect that so many years in advance, this thing is still related to a watermelon.
"Well, we're still looking at other alternatives to see if we can increase this production even further. In addition, we have carried out clinical treatment on several people with tuberculosis, and the effect is as you said, very good. Now it's just a matter of waiting for the technology to stabilize, and then starting to roll it out on a large scale. ”
Lao Sun talked about the actual situation, and the injection technology also needs to be figured out. The ones provided by Li Hao are no longer enough, and there are not so many points to redeem, so they need to knock out the syringes themselves.
Penicillin is not available to all people, and there is a subcutaneous test. This Li Hao has explained to Lao Sun and his students that he must pay attention to it, otherwise it will be a matter of human life. As for the injection technology, there has been a lot of progress now, especially after the introduction of rubber trees on Qiongzhou Island.
Li Hao uses rubber for many things to do, and the main raw material for making rubber is natural rubber. Natural rubber is made by solidifying and drying the latex that flows out of the rubber tree when it taps rubber, so the importance of the rubber tree comes out.
Natural rubber is widely used in industry, national defense, transportation, medicine and health fields and daily life because of its strong elasticity and good insulation, plasticity, water and gas insulation, tensile strength and wear resistance.
So no matter how many points he spends, Li Hao has to get this thing in advance. Otherwise, after his ocean-going fleet sailed around the world, he would get these things for himself, and the time difference would be too long, and Li Hao couldn't wait.
The sooner these things can be discovered, the sooner they can make a bigger difference. And now there are too many places where rubber needs to be used in the development of Datang, which is something that must be vigorously developed.
"It's a pity that I can't bring you greater honor, this thing has to find another way." If it were in later generations, the discovery and application of penicillin would have been able to get a sensational award all over the world, as well as various honors and possessions.
But not here! Although he didn't mention it to Li Er, Li Hao also knew that it was difficult to want Li Er to give these miraculous skills and sublime glory, and it was already very remarkable for Li Er to be able to slightly increase their treatment, but these things were worth it.
Li Ke on this side can't help it, although he now roughly knows what this penicillin does, but he can't think of any good way to come out. He is just a prince who is not very powerful, and he can't influence Li Er.
This is the tragedy of our time, and it is also the result of a certain school of thought purging dissidents. It's a pity that Li Hao and Li Ke don't have any right to speak, otherwise Li Hao wouldn't mind rectifying a certain school.
However, now because of the production of newspapers, the mass printing of various books, and Li Er has also promoted the technical officer a little bit, so the entire Datang attaches a lot more importance to technology than the original history, but this is far from enough!
"I'm going to ask you to send you some good things, and this is a reward for your medical community for making this greatest contribution." 、
Giving nothing is obviously not the result that Li Hao is willing to see, which will dampen the enthusiasm of others for research and development. In fact, in addition to these awards, those technicians in the Li Mansion, the students of the Li Mansion, and other people in the Li Mansion are also good.
They will have a major award to receive every year, and that is the year-end bonus. This is calculated according to their contributions, like these guys who got penicillin out, the year-end bonus at the end of this year is indispensable for a big red envelope, which is enough for them to live a good life in Datang.
can't get enough chips from the official to these people, Li Hao will pay for the same treatment for them out of his own pocket, in short, he can't let these people chill, so that technology can be more and more valued.
"Let's talk about this first, it just so happens that I brought some special good ingredients from Qiongzhou Island this time, and today I will let you taste these delicious foods from the South China Sea." After chatting about penicillin, the Li Mansion was ready to dine.
Li Hao invited Lao Sun and Lao Yuan and Li Ke to the room, and then introduced them with a smile, and there were all kinds of vegetables and fruits on the table together, which made the eyes of Lao Sun and Lao Yuan, who had just come from the north, light up.
Although Taoism can't help eating meat, the two of them still eat less of those things, and prefer fruits and vegetables, and these things prepared by Li Hao are exactly what they love. However, after arriving at the Li Mansion, the two of them were basically not very controlled.
The food in Li's mansion is extremely delicious, and both this old Sun and old Yuan know that the meat dishes prepared here are that even the two of them who don't eat meat much will not be able to help it, such as now.
Whether it is Dongshan goat, Wenchang chicken or Jiaji duck, they are all delicious foods that they can't resist. The two of them were quite interested in eating, and they didn't even care much about the image of the master they had always paid attention to.
Lao Yuan and Lao Sun came to the south, penicillin was just a piece of news in passing, they actually had other problems to talk to Li Hao when they came here, and after Li Ke left, they also officially talked to Li Hao about other things, this kind of thing could not be explained clearly in the letter.
The first news is that someone has paid attention to Li Hao and Li Ke, so he is going to find a Taoist master to get some rumors to frame the two. It's just that the Taoist master knew Li Hao's contribution to Taoism, and immediately reported the matter to Lao Yuan.
"This hand is black enough." After Li Hao heard the news, he was scared out of cold sweat. How evil the rumors are, just look at Li Junxian because he was killed because of a small name, Li Er is not a good thing.
If they really want to be succeeded by those people, although Li Hao and Li Ke look good now, Li Er can easily deprive the two of them of everything. "You give me the information of those people, and I'll arrange this matter, the news you brought is too timely!"
After hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly expressed his gratitude to Lao Yuan, he is now staying here in Lingnan Road, and the military and politics are in his own hands, plus there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. Li Er was the time when he was most worried about himself, if he let those people succeed, Li Hao could only run away.
So Li Hao won't talk about any kindness, those people are so cruel to themselves, Li Hao naturally won't let them go. Now Li Hao has enough strength in his hands to do this, and it can still be imperceptible.
"This matter is also related to another matter, on the Chang'an side, the competition between the crown prince and the king of Wei is now becoming more and more intense. If nothing else, the results will be separated in these two years. But there always seems to be a force in this group that is fueling the trouble, and this group is the one who calculates you. ”
Lao Yuan is very satisfied with Li Hao's attitude, they are now working together to benefit both sides, without Li Hao's planning, it is difficult for their Taoism to reach the current height or a more brilliant height in the future. So Li Hao can't have any problems, which is also the reason why Lao Yuan found an excuse to run all the way with Lao Sun after knowing the news.
