From Lu Hong's point of view, asking Xue Fucheng to go to the church hospital to perform the so-called deadly surgery of this era is obviously a suicide act, that is, in World War I twenty years later, a large number of wounded died tragically on the operating table in the hospital, that is twenty years later, let alone now......

Synthetic drugs in this era may still be in the laboratory, most Western medicines are extracts derived from natural materials, and after he asked the Yankee Hepburn, this one has some Western medicines of this era on hand, but those bizarre names make him can't help but complain, eating these inexplicable extracts, in front of our Chinese medicine that has been passed down for thousands of years, it is a weak existence.

In fact, in the early Western medicine, in addition to the efficacy, the vast majority of them have very serious side effects, that is, after entering the 20th reality, after the advent of the era of synthetic drugs, in just a few decades, tens of thousands of so-called Western drugs have been produced, but only aspirin and sulfonamide antibiotics have been verified and continued.

A little later, Xue Yiyun came back with a solemn face, Chen Lianfang was very dedicated, and also accompanied Xue Fucheng to check the pulse, but after coming out, his expression was even more dignified, this old Chinese medicine doctor is not the kind of quack doctor who is blindly xenophobic, in fact, Chinese medicine in this era has generally begun to pay attention to some treatment methods of Western medicine, especially in Shanghai, a hot spot where China and the West collide and exchange, even more so.

After Master Chen conveyed Hepburn's opinion to Xue Yiyun, the eldest son of the Xue family was a little anxious, and asked Hepburn to inquire about it, so as to avoid calling Chen Lianfang to discuss together.

Hepburn recommended immediate admission to the church hospital, where he believed that there were medications to relieve the symptoms and, if the condition worsened, at least surgery was possible...... Although so far, he has not figured out the cause of Xue Fucheng's emergency.

And Chen Lianfang's Western medicine practices that require knives at every turn and those extracts that are said to come directly from various animals and plants, he is 10,000 old Chinese medicine practitioners, so it can be regarded as practicing medicine, and it is more like taking people to do [***] experiments, our Chinese ancestors are Shennong's insights in exchange for tasting herbs, which is like Westerners using bottles and jars to cook all kinds of strange soups.

Before noon, after Chen Lianfang's decoction was poured into Xue Fucheng, although there was no immediate effect, it was true that under Hepburn's blood pressure measurement and body temperature measurement, his condition seemed to improve, so Hepburn no longer insisted on entering the church hospital...... The situation seems to give everyone some hope.

Seeing this, Lu Hong was inconvenient to make any surprising moves now, he briefly introduced the disadvantages of Western medicine surgery to Xue Yiyun and Chen Lianfang, and repeatedly emphasized that if it is not necessary, he should never choose today's surgery, but for the blood pressure gauge and body temperature gauge that Hepburn left here, he repeatedly affirmed it, and this remark made Xue Yiyun and Chen Lianfang surprised, but also regarded Lu Hong as half a doctor.

When he returned to the official residence, Feng Hesheng was already waiting here, and he brought a telegram sent back by Wang Renkan from Lushun, the telegram was not much, but Lu Hong was in a cold sweat, this Qincha obviously found a big problem in Lushun, and what is even worse is that Yan Fu is really not a case handler, although he is also quite a few connections in the Beiyang Naval Division, Wang Renkan said in the telegram that he was reckless, and asked Lu Hong to rush to meet him as soon as possible.

Lushun Military Port ...... That is the base camp of Beiyang, the Westernization Movement has been shouting about coastal defense for 30 years, which has invested a lot of money to build forts in various places, and the most silver is Port Arthur...... However, after thinking about it, Lu Hong didn't understand what kind of basket Yan Fu stabbed there, and it seemed that he really had to rush there as soon as possible!

However, he has made such a big mess here in Shanghai, and now he is leaving, although he has left Qin Tianmin to control it, to be honest, he may not be completely relieved...... The refit of the two ships of Nanrui and Nanchen is really short of silver, although they have taken the path of Ruisheng from the Manufacturing Bureau, but when it comes to real things, the cost of the silver cannot be saved, which has led to the transformation of the two warships is also half-hanging!

Although he has opened up some situations in his current situation, this situation is pressing, and he has to follow Wang Renkan to extinguish the fire everywhere, and tracing back to the source, this is the concept of military discipline that he complained about through Huang Tifang! However, his position is not high now, but because of the name of the Qincha, he is very satisfied with the power and responsibility at hand.

That night, Lu Hong inevitably considered the affairs of Shanghai Tang one by one, and the current production capacity of the machine factory has been almost saturated, he pondered let Qin Tianmin arrange to expand the operation, carefully study the development path given by the super industrial system, and the light chemical industry was soon included in his development goals, it is obvious that the history of modern science is in fact a history of progress in the development of chemical industry.

Without the progress of the chemical industry, all technological progress would face a bottleneck, and this time, Lu Hong was interested in the rubber trade, which was already very common in this era!

Natural rubber, as a trade product, has now become popular in the Nanyang region, but the real era of the rubber industry, has not come at all, even if the slow development of the European rubber industry for 40 years, now the formation is only the early rubber industry, Goodyear vulcanized rubber technology, let him go bankrupt after the lonely death, however, this technology has given birth to the rubber industry in the West, but no one knows, from the rubber industry to start the polymer chemical industry, in fact, just germination.

Although Goodyear's vulcanized rubber method has been successful, there are still too many problems with primary vulcanized rubber, but the carbon black reinforcing vulcanization technology provided by the super industrial system is undoubtedly an excellent solution.

He called Cheng Daqi and Sun Cairen overnight and handed over the vulcanization furnace drawings to Cheng Daqi for research and development, and Sun Cairen, as the technical host of the specific rubber workshop, got an explanation of carbon black rubber strengthening technology......

These two got the materials and drawings are a look of surprise, the machine factory is in full swing, has made them excited, in the last two days, and recruited several experienced engineers, but the silk reeling factory under the order, the production capacity has been sent to thirty months later...... For a few of them, it would mean a large bonus promised by Lu Hong and factory options a few years later.

I didn't expect a new industry to be launched so soon, Sun Cairen pondered for a while holding the manual, and then said: "My lord, I think this industry can be successful...... However, I'm going to the explosives factory to recruit some old guys, and it will take a while to prepare, so you don't have to rush to open the factory! ”

Lu Hong is also worried that this guy can only tinker with gunpowder, and is not familiar with chemical machines, now it seems that this idea is redundant, this guy is an excellent engineer in the smokeless gunpowder factory of the Manufacturing Bureau, this can be done safely, and this vulcanized rubber without danger is naturally not a problem.

As for the issue of recruitment, Lu Hong only made one point clear, "Lao Sun, if you go to recruit people, remember to keep a low profile......"

Sun Cairen was a little stunned by these words, and only after a while did he ask: "My lord, what is low-key!" ”

This question made Lu Hong a little crying and laughing, and when he was following the two treasures to explain, Du Wenlan, the leader of the third squad on duty today, led a person in a hurry, but it was a subordinate sent by Master Chen, and the news brought was not good news...... After Xue Fucheng took a few patches of traditional Chinese medicine, his condition changed again......
