The news of Sun Simiao's arrival soon spread throughout the country, and although the status of the ancient doctor was not high, he was a different matter. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info One is that the old Taoist doctor is clever and has seen many great Confucians, and the other is his noble character. Sun Simiao has been practicing medicine all year round, whether it is a prince or a nobleman or a pawn, he treats everyone equally, which can be described as the heart of a doctor's parents.

Therefore, when they heard his arrival, many people came to talk to him about the past, but these people obviously saw Lao Sun's impatient expression, and after observing his words, they asked him the reason for his arrival.

Sun Simiao pulled Wang Mai over and told everyone about the cause and effect of the matter, Wang Mai reluctantly arched his hand to everyone, and everyone heard that there was a treasure that the king of medicine was also interested in, and they all had to go with it to see the excitement.

Kong Yingda pulled Wang Mai aside at this time, the expression on his face was very unhappy, and asked him in a low voice: "Aren't you going to wait until the grand event starts to announce the microscope?" Why early for no reason? Won't you consult with any of them? ”

Wang Mai smiled and said in a low voice: "As the saying goes, the opportunity must not be lost, and it will never come again." The Buddhists are hyping up that treasure, and we may not be able to preemptively announce that the microscope is ours before they do. But now the arrival of the Medicine King has given us a good time, with his old man's prestige, without our publicity, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Although the medicine king is highly respected, he is not a Confucian after all...... although Kong Yingda felt that Wang Mai's words were reasonable, he still had great concerns in his heart.

"Confucius is too worried," said Wang Mai, "whether he is noble or pure, Confucian or Taoist, for us, this matter is considered a success if it achieves the preconceived effect, you say?" ”

"Isn't that unscrupulous?" When Kong Yingda heard this, he was deeply despised by Wang Mai's character.

"Sort of." Wang Mai replied frankly.

"You ......" The expression on Kong Yingda's face was wonderful, "scum......"

Wang Mai wiped the spit on his face, turned around and arched his hand to the people who were talking: "Come with me." ”

Kong Yingda stomped his feet and had to follow the others.

There are only two students in the arithmetic school, but in fact there is only one, and Liang San is no longer on the roster. Therefore, Wang Mai packed up the three rooms in the courtyard and used them as laboratories.

The area of the arithmetic lecture hall could not accommodate too many people, so it was necessary to arrange for everyone to wait in the shade outside, and Wang Mai took two students to the laboratory to take out the needed utensils.

The conditions of the experiment were simple, with only a crude microscope and microflora. Due to the limited magnification, in order to find the right flora, Wang Mai really wasted a lot of effort, and finally found that the bacteria in the koji turned out to be the most suitable for observation.

Cultivating strains is not difficult for Wang Wheat, which I have done in biology class before, and I have a deep memory.

Carefully place the glass coated with culture medium on the stage of the microscope, these suitable pieces of glass are not easy to come by, don't accidentally break them. After debugging for a long time, he finally found a suitable observation distance, Wang Mai let out a sigh of relief, and motioned for the two disciples to come up and observe first.

The two had to be ordered to come to the stage, Liang San's eyes were aimed at the lens tube, and he whispered something from time to time, Wang Eryue listened to the record on the side, and finally the two exchanged positions and came again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the process of observing the experiment," Wang Mai explained, "there is a rule for everything, especially this experiment, and every step must be strictly enforced, otherwise it will be a thousand miles away." ”

Wang Mai finished narrating the entire experiment to everyone, and the two also completed the observation and stepped down. Sun Simiao in the audience couldn't wait to walk up and aim one eye at the lens tube just now. As soon as I saw it clearly, there was an exclamation, and everyone in the audience was even more itchy when they heard the words, especially the onlookers outside the house, one by one, they looked in eagerly.

Sun Simiao reluctantly got off the stage, picked up the pen and paper on the table, and began to write and draw, Wang Mai came to him curiously and found that he had actually drawn what he saw in the microscope. Unexpectedly, this old painting skill is really good, and the memory is also very rebellious, which perfectly restores everything you see in your field of vision.

At this moment, the crowd was simply a mess, and a group of people rushed to discuss the incredible scene just now, but they didn't expect that there were so many little lives in a drop of water that looked white and flawless, it was incredible. Some people were so frightened that their faces were pale, saying that this was a demonic thing, and Wang Mai had to explain to people over and over again that these were just microorganisms in koji, which could be seen everywhere in life.

After the first experiment was completed, Wang Mai walked on the stage, dropped a drop of alcohol on the glass sheet and smeared it evenly, and asked Sun Simiao to come on stage again to observe, and everyone waiting was also very curious to wait for the stage.

"This test is to test the killing effect of alcohol on fungi, which is of great significance to medicine, but it will take two quarters of an hour to complete, if you are interested, you can find my two disciples to take you to observe later." Wang Mai explained.

The crowd was talking again, and finally Yan Shilu was elected by everyone to ask Wang Mai: "Assistant Teacher Wang, what you said just now, these small insects that are difficult to distinguish with the naked eye are things that can be seen everywhere, so how to completely eradicate them?" "People are always afraid of the unknown, so when they discover the microbial world, their first thought is to destroy it.

"You are all well-educated and virtuous, don't you know that people are good and evil, so this little worm also has good and evil." Wang Mai arched his hand and said, "Take the one we see today, it is taken from the koji in the brewery below, this thing is called yeast, as the name suggests, it is used for fermentation. In daily life, making noodles, brewing wine, and brewing sauces are inseparable from its figure, which can be said to be beneficial to people. ”

"I see," Yan Shi Lu thought for a while, "Since Assistant Teacher Wang said that this thing also has good and evil, what is the evil one?" ”

"Everywhere." Wang Mai replied, "Rotten food, raw water, even your underwear, etc., etc. After many days of observation, this tiny life multiplies very quickly, especially in moist and warm places. As for good and evil, the time of observation is short, and only one or two can be distinguished, so I dare not speak falsely. ”

What the? There was another period of confusion among the people, and some people even questioned the authenticity of Wang Mai's words.

"It's not alarmist," Wang Mai said loudly, "This kind of little life has existed for eternity, and it didn't just appear today, so you don't need to panic, because your energy is limited, so you only know some skins." More research can only be understood by the joint efforts of colleagues with a heart. ”

The people present were all literati, who quickly calmed down, thought about every word he said, and gradually calmed down the uneasiness in their hearts. As Wang Mai said, today I only saw the existence of these little insects with the help of this microscope, it does not mean that they only appeared today, since they were fine before, there is no need to make a fuss about this matter now.

At this time, Sun Simiao also finished observing, and was holding a pen to record, when a group of people surrounded him to ask about the results.

"What Assistant Teacher Wang said is true," Sun Simiao put down his pen, "Lao Dao has been observing the effect of alcohol on this substance intently, and gradually found that these tiny lives that have been swimming have slowly stopped moving, and the color has also changed from translucent to slightly yellow, which should be dead." ”

Hearing this, the crowd erupted in a burst of celebration. Obviously, even if Wang Mai was clever just now, it was better to learn the news that the microorganisms would be killed from the mouth of the medicine king was more reassuring, since these little insects could be killed, it showed that this thing was not a demon, and they were all relieved.

"Does Assistant Professor Wang know why this spirit works against this microorganism?" Sun Simiao is obviously not satisfied with just knowing the result, but wants to delve into the principle.

Wang Mai hesitated slightly, but still shook his head: "I don't know, it's just a truth that I discovered by accident." And the stronger the wine, the better, but in the right ratio with the water. ”

In order to prepare sterilized medical alcohol, Wang Mai has made many attempts, and the jar he uses now is the best ratio that he has prepared after many sterilization tests under the microscope. He used to only know about alcohol antivirus, but after experimenting, he found that the antivirus effect of the purest alcohol was not good, not as good as these alcohols diluted with a certain amount of distilled water.

The crowd dispersed contentedly, and it is conceivable that this little experiment will become an after-dinner conversation for a long time to come.

Wang Mai was very satisfied with the effect of this experiment, and it was thanks to Sun Simiao in front of him, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"Thank you for today's events." Sun Simiao gave him a respectful salute.

"Why should the Taoist be polite." Wang Mai hurriedly helped him, but Sun Simiao did not get up, still bent over and did not move. "Daoist, why is this?"

"I don't think Assistant Professor Wang was sincere just now, and I seem to know the reason why alcohol can kill microorganisms, so I asked Assistant Professor Wang for advice." Lao Dao said with a stubborn look.

"Daochang Sun, don't be embarrassed, I really have unspeakable hardships." Wang Mai helplessly helped him.

Looking at Sun Simiao in front of him, Wang Mai was at war with heaven and man in his heart. He is clear about the principle of alcohol sterilization, because alcohol has a coagulating effect on proteins. But how to explain what a protein is to someone who doesn't understand the microscopic world? If he asks where he knows, how should he answer? These are unavoidable questions, which is why I refuse to say more.

"Since that's the case, then Lao Dao won't force it anymore," Sun Simiao sighed, "I hope Assistant Teacher Wang can forgive Lao Dao's faux pas." ”

"Alas......" Wang Mai looked at the old man's regretful expression, and suddenly felt deeply sorry in his heart, "Then I'll say a little." ”

"Then thank you Assistant Teacher Wang." Sun Simiao's happy beard floated up when he heard this.

"But," said Wang Mai, "the Taoist chief needs to promise me three conditions: first, you can't reveal this matter, and even if you do, you can't say it to outsiders. ”

"The old way agreed." Sun Simiao replied without hesitation.

"Second, don't ask me where I learned these things."

"No problem."

"Third, if the Taoist does not trust my words, don't mention it again, just as it never happened."
