"Brother Wu, do you want to cooperate?" Chen Ke finished with a big grin, and then couldn't help but yawn again.

Wu Xingchen thought about what Chen Kefang had just said again, but he didn't find anything wrong. Pharmaceuticals and selling medicines do need the help of brothers on the road. Wu Xingchen was not worried about what tricks Chen Ke could play. And Chen Ke is right, Wu Xingchen has been involved in this matter from the beginning, and the future benefits are indeed very large. If he felt that something was wrong, Wu Xingchen would withdraw decisively.

But everything that is reasonable is not reasonable in this world. This is not Wu Xingchen's rational judgment, but a completely emotional judgment. How dark the world is today, Wu Xingchen knows very well. Chen Ke must have some hidden tricks. Thinking of this, Wu Xingchen asked, "What does Brother Chen want me to do?" ”

"First, ask Brother Wu to find a few prostitutes who have contracted flower willow disease. I went and took the pus from the abscesses on their faces. There is no need for Brother Wu to do this. Chen Ke said very seriously.

Wu Xingchen nodded, this matter is indeed not something that a guy like Chen Ke can do.

"Second, after my medicine is made, I will treat these prostitutes for free. You can see how effective the medicine is. This medicine is very toxic, and it will either cure people or kill them. At that time, you will also need to sign a life and death certificate. This matter must be helped by Brother Wu. ”

I see! Wu Xingchen's heart lit up. Without the help of his brothers on the road, Chen Ke would definitely not be able to do it. The death of a few prostitutes infected with willow disease is not a big deal. But if you don't have a background, it's a big or small thing. "I wonder how likely Brother Chen's medicine is to poison people?"

"Out of a hundred, five or six at most."

"Huh?!" Wu Xingchen originally thought that three or four of the ten people would have to die. In these years, the treatment of willow disease used mercury, a highly toxic drug such as mercury. The mortality rate is about 30%. Even if the willow disease is cured, many people will become dementia due to mercury poisoning. Compared with this treatment effect, Chen Ke's medicine is really powerful.

"And the third?" Wu Xingchen felt that Chen Ke's previous request was not troublesome, so he continued to ask.

"Thirdly, I'm definitely not going to be able to go down the street and sell this thing. After this medicine is made, I will contact patients in Shanghai and sell the medicine, and I want Brother Wu to be responsible for doing it himself. After curing the disease, Brother Wu is also responsible for collecting the money, and then according to our agreement, just give me the share I deserve. ”

"Do you want me to do anything else?" Wu Xingchen asked.

"Don't."

Wu Xingchen looked at Chen Ke and couldn't see any malice. Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Chen Kehulu. But until now, it is still credible. Wu Xingchen didn't think there was anything wrong with what Chen Ke said, and he was ready to cooperate with Chen Ke. Not only for the money in the future, but in a realistic sense, among the high-level members of the Heaven and Earth Society that Wu Xingchen knew, there were people who were infected with flower willow disease. The middle and lower strata are more likely to be infected. If they can be cured, Wu Xingchen's status in the Heaven and Earth Society will naturally rise.

Chen Ke left a very bad impression on Wu Xingchen. The failure of the first round of the clash between the two sides made Wu Xingchen remember it vividly. And Chen Ke didn't care about this at all, but wanted to make friends with Wu Xingchen. This pragmatic attitude is terrifying. But reality is reality, driven by the interests of both the future and the present, Wu Xingchen made up his mind.

"Then I'll do Brother Chen this favor."

There were a lot of people on the street, and Chen Ke wore a pair of teeth-yellow pants and a white shirt with the same texture as a lab coat. A white lab coat was worn outside. This weird white dress is matched with black cloth shoes. It is especially eye-catching. Shanghai is also a metropolis in the East, and citizens know that Western doctors wear this kind of white coat. Coupled with Chen Ke's short hair, it is not unusual.

Wu Xingchen looked at Chen Ke beside him from time to time, and this "funeral" outfit didn't make him get used to it. Chen Ke not only did not complain at all, but even had some smug posture. He couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen likes white clothes so much?" ”

"Do what we do, this white coat is the way to work. After putting it on, I naturally feel at ease. You see, when I dye the cloth, it's that blue overalls. ”

Wu Xingchen hummed, but stopped talking. The two walked in silence. Chen Ke was already tall, and Wu Xingchen was even better in height. Such two tall people walking side by side are already very eye-catching. Chen Ke's white coat adds a lot of attractive elements to himself. These two people walked on the street, really bathed in the bombardment of the sights of men, women and children.

Fortunately, neither of them cared about the eyes of others, but Chen Ke found that the eyes of the people who looked at him were very wrong. Not a curiosity, but something indescribable. Wondering, Wu Xingchen stopped, "Go in." ”

The two of them were in front of a strange-looking courtyard at this time, and people who came in and out were not well dressed or bad. It was these guys who looked at Chen Ke with a look that didn't quite understand. Chen Ke looked at himself again, the light-colored clothes all over his body, a slightly wrinkled white coat, a shiny watch on his wrist, and a pair of clean cloth shoes. Simple and clean. It shouldn't be annoying.

followed Wu Xingchen into the courtyard, the courtyard looked like a cheap hotel, inside the doors of each room, men and women came in and out, the confused looks on the faces of the men, and the smiling smiles of the women. It was supposed to be a brothel. There were two guys with fierce faces at the door, and when they saw Wu Xingchen coming in, they hurriedly stepped forward with a smile on their faces and said something in Shanghai vernacular. Wu Xingchen whispered in Shanghainese with a northern accent: "Aren't you here infected with flower willow disease and are suffering from sores?" ”

"Alas, Boss Wu, you're laughing at us. Where would we have that kind of stuff here? No kidding. The person in charge said hurriedly.

"This is a doctor who is making medicine for willow disease. So find a few people to test the medicine. Wu Xingchen still said in a low voice.

The man at the head looked Chen Ke up and down a few times, "I didn't see it." It's still a foreign doctor. But, Boss Wu, we don't have the money to buy medicine. And if you're looking for someone like that, there's a lot of people on the streets. Why do you laugh at me, brother? ”

Wu Xingchen was tired of the brothel owner gossiping, "Take us to meet now." I can call the shots, and I don't need your money for treatment. ”

The brothel owner saw that Wu Xingchen was really playing, and finally sighed helplessly, "Boss Wu, you just know how to make jokes." As he spoke, he took Wu Xingchen and Chen Ke out of the courtyard gate and walked to the back.

It was close to evening and the sun was setting in the west. Shanghai's architecture is not a wide style, and the empty alleys have a very cold feeling before the evening. Wu Xingchen, a brothel owner, and a thug. These people are not good people, and walking together in this remote alley makes Chen Ke feel quite uncomfortable.

The destination is a small courtyard in the middle of nowhere. "This is it." Said the brothel owner.

In front of him was a locked door in the corner of the courtyard, and it was quiet in the neighborhood, and Chen Ke, who had just come from the street, suddenly felt that he was traveling through time and space again. The market was still sunny and bustling, but now it is a small courtyard that is inaccessible. couldn't help but look back at Wu Xingchen and the others behind them, only to see that their eyes were full of disgust when they looked at the door.

"Listen, now there is a doctor who will treat you. Arise all of you and listen to the doctor. The brothel owner shouted viciously. Although the voice was quite loud, he was far away from the door, and he didn't even want to see the room.

There was a faint sound in the room, but no one answered. "Did you hear that?" The brothel owner shouted again.

"Got it." A woman's voice came out.

"Now the doctor will go in and see you, stay in and don't come out." The brothel owner shouted again, and then motioned for the thugs to open the door. He himself took two steps back, not wanting to see what was inside the room.

Chen Ke took out his mask and put it on, waiting for the thug to unlock it. The thug just opened the lock, but did not push the door, Chen Ke waited for a moment, and had to push the door open and walk in. As soon as I entered, the door was closed by thugs, and the sound of a padlock came from the knocker. This really scared Chen Ke. Although I know that these people will not lock themselves up, it is really unpleasant to encounter this kind of thing.

brought a mask, and before coming here, Chen Ke also sprayed flower water into the mask. Even so, Chen Ke was still smoked lightly. The smell of sweat, urine, the smell of mildew from poor air circulation, and the body odor of the human body made Chen Ke frown slightly. The light in the room was very weak, and it took Chen Ke a while to get used to it. I saw a few women with many large abscesses on their faces, sitting or lying on several beds covered with straw mats. The women are all disheveled, the weather is already hot, and most of them are just wearing a coat, and the abscessed chest can be seen from the open placket.

Chen Ke never felt that women's ** could be so disgusting. It's a visceral disgust. The abscesses on the women's faces, the abscesses on their bodies, and the abscesses on their lower bodies that although they didn't see it, they shuddered when they thought about it, Chen Ke almost wanted to get out.

Settle down, the task now is to get pus, and it's not a time to get emotional. Chen Ke said in a very lame Shanghainese dialect. "Don't move, sit on the bed first." The reason why I said this is because Chen Ke was afraid that this group of women would suddenly lose their minds and pull him in, in that case, Chen Ke would be unable to protect himself.

But Chen Ke's outfit is indeed very unusual, just a white coat and light-colored clothes. Chen Ke brought a white mask, which startled some women. The women who looked at the gate couldn't help but shrink back. There were two women who didn't get up at all at first, and when they turned around slowly, they sat up in fright when they saw Chen Ke's appearance.

Even though they were frightened by Chen Ke's outfit, the women's eyes were still glazed, and it seemed that the torture of illness and the "ward" like a black prison had caused great psychological damage to them. The women were very slow to react to Chen Ke's entry into the house. Chen Ke was relieved to see that there was no imaginary scene of "desperate women jumping up to save their thighs and starting to cry and beg".

"Which of you is getting this disease for the first time?" Chen Ke asked.

No one answered. The women looked at Chen Ke with puzzled expressions. Chen Ke asked again, but no one answered.

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Chen Kexian asked in broken Shanghainese. No one responded, and Chen Ke changed Mandarin and Henan dialect and spoke it several times.

Finally, a woman asked in Jiangsu-Zhejiang dialect that Chen Ke could barely understand, "Are you really the doctor who came to see us?" ”

Talking to the patient did not make Chen Ke feel very happy, on the contrary, Chen Keqiang resisted the urge to take a few steps back. Forced smile: "I'm a doctor, yes, everyone sit there and don't move, talk slowly." ”

"Doctor, we know this disease, you came to treat us, how dare we touch you." A woman who looked fairly clean sat up slowly, pulling the open placket of her dress up. After straightening her clothes, the woman said, "Sisters, sit down and let the doctor see you." ”

Hearing this, Chen Ke immediately had respect for this woman. Such an attitude made Chen Ke, who was a guest doctor, feel a sense of security. The other women sat down obediently.

"This eldest sister, you can help me ask, who is the first time you are sick? Whoever is sick for the first time, let them raise their hands. Chen Ke asked.

The woman spoke in southern dialect, and five of the seven women in the room raised their hands. The woman who spoke to Chen Ke did not raise her hand. Chen Ke took out five test tubes and cotton swabs, and each took a sufficient amount of concentrated liquid.

In a mood of trying it out, Chen Ke asked the woman who had been talking to him, "Eldest sister, are you sick for the first time?" ”

The woman shook her head slightly. Chen Ke's heart was tight, and his own medicine could only treat patients in the first and second phases. It's not the first time it happens, and 606 or 914 can't be cured at all. Antimicrobials such as penicillin are not required to be effective. The woman didn't have much contact with Chen Ke, but in this terrifying black prison-like place, it was reasonable. Chen Ke still wanted to save her very much. But the facts made Chen Ke's idea fall through.

In this matter, a woman finally couldn't help but ask: "Doctor, can you treat us and collect money?" ”

Chen Ke looked at the somewhat frightening abscess, and forced out a smile, "I don't charge money, you can rest assured." After listening to Chen Ke's words, the women still didn't dare to believe it, "Doctor, I have never heard that this disease can cure ......" As soon as she said this, the woman interrupted her words in a loud voice, "Since there is a doctor who comes to see a doctor, how can you say this?" ”

After speaking, the woman slowly knelt down on the straw mat, "Doctor, I beg you." Please cure us, and I will repay you as a cow and a horse in this life. When the other women saw this, they also knelt on the straw mats. It's not a proper bed. A few broken planks on the two stools, and a broken straw mat on them, is considered a bed. As soon as the women knelt on the "bed", the planks creaked and sounded. Chen Ke looked around the room, there was a toilet in the innermost part of the room, although the lid was buttoned, but the urine was smoked from that side. There was a broken bowl next to each bed, some empty, some with some water. The windows in the room are very small, still very high, and the light is very poor.

After putting away the test tube, Chen Ke said: "I will ...... next week, and I will come over in seven days." Be careful, everyone, you will be able to get it done when the time comes. With that, he walked to the door. There was a knock on the door. "Open the door, I'll go out."

As if he had waited for a long time, Chen Ke was even worried that no one would open the door for him again. Chen Ke couldn't help but want to roar angrily to let the people outside open the door and let him leave this hellish place quickly. Finally there were footsteps, a lock, the door opened, and light poured in through the cracks. Chen Ke rushed out of the house in three steps and two steps, and rushed into the light. Not long ago, the small courtyard that seemed quiet and deserted now looks like a bright and peaceful fairyland compared to the dark room close at hand. A moment later, there was the sound of the door closing and padlocking behind Chen Ke. Hearing these voices, Chen Ke only felt a burst of relief. That hell is finally sealed.

At this moment, a sharp call came from inside the room, "Doctor, I'll wait for you to heal." Please. Chen Ke could tell that it was the voice of the woman who had been talking to him. No sooner had the voice finished than there was a knock on the door, followed by the cries and pleadings of the other women.

The brothel owner scolded angrily, his voice was fast and high-pitched, and Chen Ke couldn't understand what he was saying. The women ignored the boss and continued to plead for something, which was in southern dialect that Chen Ke didn't understand, but Chen Ke understood what they meant.

"Let's go out first." Wu Xingchen said to Chen Ke. Regardless of Chen Ke's response, Wu Xingchen frowned and left the courtyard quickly. Obviously, the voices of the women upset Wu Xingchen, this place can stay for a moment less.

Chen Ke walked quickly away from the courtyard with Wu Xingchen, and the women were silent amid the angry scolding of the brothel owner. Chen Ke's medicine couldn't save that reasonable woman. Chen Ke knew very well that he would not even let his boss use his own medicine for the two stage III patients. Even if the drug is given to these two people, it will not have any effect. In order to improve the success rate of his own medicine, let Wu Xingchen see the miraculous effect with his own eyes. Chen Ke will make it clear to Wu Xingchen in advance that those two people can't be saved.

Looking at the boss's posture, it is impossible for the patients of the first and second phases to live alone. Chen Ke even thought that in order to avoid trouble, he would inject normal saline into the third stage patients, including the reasonable woman. A room full of patients, Chen Ke did not inject those two people with medicine, but only made those two women fight with himself. And there is no need for precious drugs to be used on useless people.

At this time, it was absolutely impossible for Chen Ke to develop any drugs such as penicillin. When there is a base area, Chen Ke will set up a pharmaceutical factory in the base area to produce penicillin. Even in the best-case scenario, it would be three years later. That reasonable woman couldn't wait for that time. In this era, she will not be given a chance to live long enough to have a drug that can save her life.

The woman was dead.

Considering his own calm thinking and the final result of seeking truth from facts, Chen Ke found that he had no emotions in it. This is the fact of this era, and the lives of the weak are so fragile. If you have fireworks, it's hard to sympathize with the incident itself. So many more people who are not at fault are also dying in this cruel era.

Wu Xingchen and Chen Ke did not stop, walked out of the alley, the closer they got to the lively street market, the more loud the voices of people sounded, and when they walked out of the alley, the lively street suddenly unfolded in front of the two of them. In the evening, everyone was rushing home, and the sound of roadside hawking was much louder. The whole street shows a kind of vitality. Looking at this, Wu Xingchen let out a long sigh, and the depressed mood in the room was greatly relieved. He turned his head and saw Chen Ke looking at the street in a daze, two lines of tears running down his cheeks. Seeing this, Wu Xingchen's brows furrowed. He healed others, and he began to cry. Could it be that Chen Ke didn't tell the truth at all? Wu Xingchen couldn't help but be wary, and his eyes became a lot more cautious when he looked at Chen Ke.

Wu Xingchen did not follow Chen Ke back to the workshop, but left halfway. When Chen Ke returned to the workshop, there was a bunch of cute rabbits in a bunch of cages in the yard.

The pus was retrieved, followed by an injection of pus into the rabbit's eggs, and soon a non-healing sore appeared at the injection site. These rabbits serve as a group of drug testers. Chen Ke did not make 606, but chose 914 first. 914 is slightly less potent than 606, but it is much safer.

Unfortunately, the first rabbits to be treated were all poisoned. Looking at the pile of upright corpses, no one dared to say anything. Chen Ke waved at the pair of rabbit corpses. The "crematorium" has long been built. The carcass of rabbits is burned to charcoal, and when it is inedible, the charcoal is crushed and thrown into the garbage. The bamboo cages where the sick rabbits once lived were also burned. Both of these things are either poisonous or germ, and must be completely destroyed. In particular, if the carcass of rabbits is picked up and eaten, it is likely to cause death.

The second batch of drugs had no effect. Chen Ke used the waste and injected the rabbits with a third batch of medicines, and half of the fluffy little things began to heal, and half of them died. Chen Ke paid for another batch of rabbits to re-test the third batch of medicines. There are still 10% of rabbits who die with a whimper.

"That's all there is to it, right?" Chen Ke heard Du Zhenghui outside the room whisper.

"One out of ten people will die? Is this also called a line? I'm not going to let this medicine be used by He Zudao. Qi Huishen scolded in a low voice.

"But it's been so long. I thought it would be done in a day or two. Du Zhenghui said with some dissatisfaction. The young people have been helping these days, and the places where they can intervene are already familiar. Under Chen Ke's simple teaching, the young people's chemistry knowledge has also improved by leaps and bounds. Du Zhenghui, a layman, inevitably had a slack mind. Chen Ke can understand this mood, historically, many new drugs in Europe and the United States have been released in such a hurry and then sold in China. Poisoned a lot of Chinese.

Chen Ke was a little puzzled that Du Zhenghui felt that these medicines could be used, so he didn't think that the rabbits would have to die one-tenth of them, and if this was changed to people, how much would they have to die. What is human life in Du Zhenghui's heart? Just listening to Du Zhenghui's words, he didn't want to enter the core of the new political party again.

The fourth batch of drugs was quite good, and the rabbits not only saved their lives, but also recovered quickly. This is the first time this has happened. Chen Ke found an excuse to send several other young people out to work. Then he called a few core members into the house and told them the good news.

You Yu didn't say anything else, but was pleased to write the word "success" in his notebook. Seeing You Xuan's performance, Qi Hui rubbed his bloodshot eyes and asked happily, "Wenqing, have you succeeded?" ”

"Next, inject five times as much." Chen Ke said calmly.

"Five-fold? You're going to poison it! Qi Hui interjected deeply.

"If the amount of poison immortal rabbits is five times greater, this medicine can be regarded as a reluctant success. This drug is inherently toxic, and we cannot be irresponsible to the patient. Chen Ke replied.

"The rabbit has been cured and is not dead. As long as the dosage is controlled, I think ......" Qi Huishen couldn't help but want to argue.

Chen Ke's deep and powerful voice interrupted Qi Huishen's words, "Carry forward the revolutionary humanitarian spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded." ”

At this time, there was no other word that could express Chen Ke's mood so powerfully. Recalling what he had seen a few days earlier at a prostitute who had contracted willow disease, Chen Ke continued: "Revolutionary humanitarianism, you have to be responsible for the people. ”

After Chen Ke finished speaking, Qi Huishen's face became solemn. He pursed his lips and reflected on the words. After a moment, Qi Huishen repeated in a low voice, "The humanitarian spirit of the revolution."

"Wen Qing, last time you said that the revolution is not a dinner party......" Qi Huishen asked.

"In dealing with the enemy, revolution is naturally not a dinner party. But the revolution itself must be humanitarian. If it is not to save the country and the people, what kind of revolution will be carried out? There was a faint anger in Chen Ke's voice. This is not aimed at Qi Huishen, but he has heard countless discussions these days, and Chen Ke clearly feels that what young people are passionate about is revolution, just like this medicine that can cure flower willow disease. As long as it works, they can accept it. Anyway, the side effects attacked, and it was someone else who died. This mentality made Chen Ke quite dissatisfied. Everyone is human, why should you joke with other people's lives?

Thinking of the women who were tormented by the willow disease, and the pleas they made. Chen Ke only felt a palpitation. Limited to the revolutionary situation, Chen Ke could not develop penicillin, and some people could not be saved, and there was no way to do it. But within the control of his own pharmaceutical, Chen Ke did not want anything irresponsible to happen.

"China is already sick. We want to revolution, much like being a doctor. The medicine you took out, just see if it works, and after using it, let him live or die? Revolution is all about killing germs, that's right. But revolution is for the sake of salvation, not destruction. Saying this, Chen Ke's voice was already very stern. Suddenly, two hands pressed on Chen Ke's shoulders, and Chen Ke turned his head to see that one hand of Hua Mengmao and You Mu was pressing on his shoulder. Chen Ke understood what they meant, sighed, and Chen Ke returned to the test bench and picked up the syringe. Anyone in the room who heard Chen Ke's remarks looked at Chen Ke. For a moment no one spoke.

Five times the dose, half of the rabbits did not survive. Under this blow, everyone did not dare to speak up.

Chen Ke rubbed his temples and closed his eyes in consideration. At that time, Ulrich kept selecting from hundreds of samples, and Chen Ke had a clear purpose, which was to be able to produce that specific product. It is impossible for this drug to be synthesized wrongly, the reason for the failure of the last few times is some reaction control problems, as those problems are solved one by one, the efficacy of the drug has reached such a level, Chen Ke thought about it several times, but he didn't figure out what went wrong.

"Could it be that the purity is not high enough?" You Yu asked suddenly.

Chen Ke wasn't sure about it, or if that it was the hardest thing for him to get around. Without an advanced chemical industry, it is very difficult to improve the purity of chemical products. The chemistry industry looks like there are countless equations, but in fact, the equations are not the most important. In the chemical industry, the "empirical parameters" are the most important. Many things, even in the 21st century, do not have a rational explanation. But the empirical parameters are very useful in it.

After being silent for a while, Chen Ke finally said, "Let's purify the reagent again." ”

It's hard work and a very effective one. After a round of purification, the final product is able to effectively treat willow disease, and it is five times more effective in rabbits without being fatal. When the second purification and synthesis were completed, Chen Ke did not close his eyes for 40 hours, and although the rabbits were sick after receiving a large dose of injection, they still survived. As soon as Chen Ke sat down on the recliner, he didn't know anything.
