Chapter Seventy-One: A Hundred Waves and Many Breaths
"It's just pneumonia, just take some penicillin or cephalosporins, where will it ......" Sun Wei was very disdainful of Wilson's exaggeration of Mary's condition, and his tone was mostly dismissive, but he soon realized a very serious problem, there are no antibiotics in the current society, not even sulfonamides to inhibit germs.
"Inspector Sun, what's the matter with penicillin and cephalosporins, can they treat pneumonia, but why haven't I heard of these two drugs?" Wilson asked.
There is no doubt that the drug that can quickly and effectively treat pneumonia is an antibiotic such as penicillin, but although the preparation method of penicillin is simple, it requires penicillin bacteria to be cultured in the medium for a long time, which is naturally impossible to solve Mary's current condition, so Sun Wei thought of sulfonamide, a drug that inhibits bacteria with relatively large side effects, and its preparation is much simpler than penicillin, which has a relatively long cultivation time.
"Consul Wilson, do you believe me?" Sun Wei asked after thinking about it in his heart.
"Inspector Sun, I don't understand what you mean." Wilson said suspiciously.
"I mean I can cure Mary's pneumonia, but you're going to give me a day." Sun Wei explained.
"Impossible, there is no medicine in this world that can treat pneumonia, and only the patient's own will can defeat pneumonia." Wilson expressed 12 percent distrust of Sun's assurances.
"Consul Wilson, since I can refine the magic medicine of Cuiyunxuan, I will naturally be able to refine the medicine for the treatment of pneumonia, you have to believe in the miracle of our Chinese medicine." Sun Wei said to Wilson.
"However, these are two different things, how can they be confused." Wilson was incredulous.
"Consul Wilson, this is actually a kind of thing, you give me a day, and I will be delivered to your house tomorrow night." Sun Wei hurriedly went back and asked Xie Yunpeng to find raw materials for the synthesis of sulfonamides, and he couldn't care about Wilson's reaction behind him.
It was already past nine o'clock when Sun Wei left the Karlowitz villa, and at this time, except for the most prosperous streets in the concession, which was known as the city that never sleeps, the rest of the place had fallen into silence, and the whole road could only hear the panting sound of the rickshaw driver hired by Sun Wei and the friction of the axles and wheels.
Earlier, when Xie Xu led Xie Yunpeng to Shanghai to find Sun Wei to find a job for his son, he lived in a hotel in the public concession, but since Xie Yunpeng followed Sun Wei to prepare the Cuiyunxuan elixir, Xie Xu felt that his son must have made a great development with Sun Wei, so he bought a shikumen on Xiamen Road and moved the whole family here.
After the "bang ......" arrived at the place, Sun Wei immediately jumped down from the rickshaw and then knocked on the gate of Shikumen violently.
"Knock slowly, I hear you."
Sun Wei knocked twice before he heard an old voice coming from the door, and then he saw a glimmer of light suddenly lit through the crack in the door, and then began to move towards the door.
"Who, what's the matter at this late hour?" When the light approached the door, the old man who had just responded asked again through the door.
"It's me, Sun Wei, I'm looking for Yunpeng for something." Sun Wei replied.
"It turned out to be Inspector Sun, why did you come to the young master so late, the young master just fell asleep." The old man heard Sun Wei's voice, and said while stirring the bolt on the door.
"I have an urgent matter with Yun Peng, please help me call him down." Sun Wei said to the old man.
"Then you wait a minute, I'll call the young master." Seeing Sun Wei's eager expression, the old man didn't dare to save his face, so he led Sun Wei to the living room and turned on the light for him to sit down, and then walked towards the staircase.
"Uncle Li, who's coming?" Before the old man reached the staircase, a middle-aged man's inquiry came from the stairs, and Sun Wei knew that this person was Xie Xiaoshu's second brother Xie Xu.
"Second brother, it's me." Sun Wei replied.
"Ah Wei, why are you here so late?" Xie Xu asked in surprise when he heard Sun Wei's voice.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry to find Yunpeng, and I want him to accompany him to a foreign store to find some chemicals." Sun Wei explained.
"Why are you in such a hurry, and you have to go so late? Besides, the foreign bank should be closed. Xie Xu walked down from the upper floor and said.
"This time is a major matter of human life, we can't help but be in a hurry, even if the foreign bank closes, it will be smashed." Sun Wei said.
"Uncle, do you have anything to do with me?" Just when Xie Xu wanted to continue to ask again, Xie Yunpeng asked Sun Wei while coming down from the upstairs with his clothes on.
"You come with me first, and we'll talk about it on the road." Sun Wei saw Xie Yunpeng come down, and he didn't care about saying goodbye to Xie Xu, so he directly pulled Xie Yunpeng and left Xie's house.
When Sun Wei came, he only rented a rickshaw, so naturally it was impossible to take him and Xie Yunpeng with him, so he sent the coachman back with money, and took Xie Yunpeng and his bodyguards to the Bund, which is the most densely populated area of foreign companies.
Sulfonamides refer to a class of drugs with p-aminobenzene sulfonamide structure, is a class of chemotherapy drugs used for the prevention and treatment of bacterial infectious diseases, in the previous life its types have developed to thousands, of which there are dozens of widely used and have certain curative effects, and Sun Wei wants to synthesize the first sulfonamide drug that appeared in the previous life, a drug that was discovered from dyes.
The synthesis of Hundred Waves is not difficult, according to the development of history, it will be synthesized as a red dye next year.
When Cuiyunxuan's magic medicine was synthesized, in addition to the intermediate products that Sun Wei needed to synthesize personally, the synthesis of the most basic raw materials and finished products was completed by Xie Yunpeng, so he often dealt with foreign companies in order to buy raw materials during this time, and he more or less knew which foreign company had the medicine he needed, which saved Sun Wei's time of blindly looking for raw materials.
Foreign banks are different from entertainment venues, with very stable work and end times, at this time, the major foreign banks have no other employees except for some janitors.
Sun Wei found Xie Yunpeng to lead the way this time, he almost knew where Sun Wei bought each of the raw materials, so under Sun Wei's forced smashing of the door and forced buying and selling, they found all the raw materials before eleven o'clock.
"Yun Peng, I'm bothering you today, you can go back and rest quickly." After finding the last raw material, Sun Wei said to Xie Yunpeng.
Xie Yunpeng is not a nerd with low emotional intelligence, seeing that Sun Wei is so anxious to find these chemicals, he knows that there must be a formula for a new drug, and he was in a hurry to see Sun Wei asking before, and waited until all the medicines were found, Sun Wei's expression eased before asking: "Uncle, do you want to synthesize any new drugs, do you need my help?" ”
"It's really synthesized from a new drug, but this medicine is not as big as the previous Cuiyunxuan magic medicine, it is too big, knowing too much will not do you any good, but it will increase your own danger in vain, you still don't want to know." Sun Wei said.
"Uncle, you can lie to me, where in this world is there a medicine more important than our Cuiyunxuan magic medicine! You don't know, during this time, I have received a lot of invitations from wealthy domestic businessmen and foreign business leaders, asking me to provide them with the formula of Cuiyunxuan's miracle medicine, but fortunately, I really don't know the exact formula of Cuiyunxuan's miracle medicine, otherwise I may have rebelled at some point. Although Xie Yunpeng's words were more joking, they also said how much the formula of Cuiyunxuan's magic medicine was tempting the outside world.
"Our Cuiyunxuan elixir is at best a more advanced strong yang elixir, although the profits in it are huge, but it has not reached the point of ignoring my current identity, but the medicine I am going to synthesize next is different, it is not an exaggeration to call it a resurrection elixir in this era, it is beyond the limits of what my current identity can bear, and it can even cause a war for its formula, so I hope you don't get involved." Sun Wei said.
"Uncle, I listen to you, then I'll go back." Xie Yunpeng knew that Sun Wei would not be untargeted, so he accepted Sun Wei's suggestion and gave up his plan to be Sun Wei's assistant.
According to Wilson, Mary's pneumonia has been suffering from it for more than half a month, and such a long delay can completely allow ordinary pneumonia to develop into severe pneumonia, which is a very dangerous disease even in the previous life, and the mortality rate is the first among many bacterial infections, so Sun Wei must now race against time to synthesize the hundred waves as soon as possible.
After Xie Yunpeng left, Sun Wei just sent Ah Jian home to report the news, telling Wang Qian that he would not go home to sleep, and then went straight to Yongan Theater by himself.
When Sun Wei arrived at the Yongan Theater, the theater had already sent off the last batch of guests, but the door of the theater was not closed, so Sun Wei walked in directly.
"Inspector Sun!"
"Inspector Sun!"
Several of the servants in charge of cleaning the theater straightened up and greeted Sun Wei after seeing Sun Wei come in, but Sun Wei was in no mood to pay attention to them at this time, and walked straight into the backyard silently.
Due to the hot sale of Cuiyunxuan's miracle medicine, the laboratory of synthetic drugs in the backyard has also become the key protection object of Sun Wei, not only transferred more than a dozen team members from Sun Li to protect them with guns, but also changed the thick iron door to the laboratory, the key to the iron door is only owned by Sun Wei and Xie Yunpeng, and even the owner of the theater, Xie Xiaoshu, does not have it.
Sulfonamides have long been reduced to veterinary drugs in the previous life, even Sun Wei, who was born in medicine, did not have this kind of drug, but fortunately, the synthetic route and principle of the drug are still very clear, and the unskilled operation is only a little delay, and does not affect the efficacy of the drug.
......Just as Sun Wei was sorting the chemicals he had forcibly purchased from the Bund, there was a knock on the iron door of the laboratory.
"Who, didn't I tell you, don't bother me if you're fine!" Sun Wei complained impatiently while opening the door, but after the iron door was pushed open, his impatient face instantly melted, and he said to the visitor with a little surprise: "Xiaoshu, why are you?" It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? ”
"I was already going to sleep, but the people below said you came to the backyard, so I came over to see what you were up to." Xie Xiaoshu passed Sun Wei into the laboratory, then sat down on a chair used to rest.
"I'm going to synthesize a new drug, and the drug will be used tomorrow, so I'm going to stay up all night to synthesize the drug." Sun Wei walked over and explained.
"What medicine do you want to synthesize, why are you in such a hurry, didn't you let Yun Peng come over to help you?" Xie Xiaoshu asked.
"This medicine is called sulfonamide, which can treat pneumonia, puerperal fever and many other diseases with a very high mortality rate, especially for injuries and infections, and can greatly reduce the mortality rate of the wounded when used on the battlefield, but it is also the effect of this medicine is too much, too good, it is easy to attract the prying eyes of others, even if I am the inspector of the house, it may lead to death, so I didn't implicate Yun Peng." Sun Wei explained.
"Since this medicine is a hot potato, why do you want to synthesize it?" Xie Xiaoshu asked with concern.
"I met with the British Consul Wilson today at Karlowitz's daughter's birthday reception, and he told me that Mary had pneumonia for half a month, and that many doctors had not seen any signs of improvement, but that it had become more serious. Mary and I are also friends, and I can't watch him die when I have the ability to save her, so I want to synthesize the medicine for her. Sun Wei said.
"Didn't you cure Mary and tell everyone that you have a medicine that can cure pneumonia, then you are very dangerous? Even if you fall in love with that foreign woman, you can't put your life in her hands, otherwise how will you let me live with your tigress? Xie Xiaoshu stopped.
"When I delivered the medicine, I would tell Wilson not to leak the matter, and even if Wilson leaked the medicine out of disregard of morality, I can attribute the matter to coincidence, after all, I have only used it once, and few people believe that there is such a medicine in the world." Sun Wei explained.
"But if anyone believes it, aren't you very dangerous?" Xie Xiaoshu assumed.
"If there are so many whatevers, you don't have to worry about it. Okay, it's not too early, you go back to bed quickly, be careful that there are black circles tomorrow. Sun Wei pulled Xie Xiaoshu up from the chair, then pushed her shoulders from behind and shoved her outside the laboratory.
"Got it, don't push it, I'll go back myself." Outside the laboratory, Xie Xiaoshu knocked off Sun Wei's hands on her shoulders and complained.
"Alright, baby, good night!" Sun Wei saw that Xie Xiaoshu was indeed a little angry, so he flatteringly hugged her in his arms, and then kissed her on the center of her eyebrows and said.
"I hate it, others are watching!" Xie Xiaoshu didn't expect Sun Wei to kiss herself in front of the yard guards, and she forgot her previous unhappiness in shame and quickly fled from the backyard. (To be continued.) )
