In fact, the main reason why people can come together is mutual need. It's like a few British and American doctors sitting in the "Taiping Academy of Sciences" right now. John Smith and George Brown originally opened a clinic in Shanghai, and the business was not too prosperous, but it was reasonable to say that it was just because they heard the "occasional" mention of Ms. Sang Yu, a business celebrity who went to check her health, and after being teased by Fang Jingbo, the interpreter of the consulate, they rushed to Tianjing despite the consul's dissuasion. Because Ms. Sang said that a new drug was being researched here, and there was a shortage of suitable people. John Smith usually likes the study of germs, so naturally he was curious when he heard it. The American is pragmatic and never believes in any strange and strange legends, and politics has nothing to do with him and has nothing to do with him, what he needs is something tangible, and he doesn't know how to know whether it is good or bad.

The British surgeon James Paul had come to Jinling a few years ago and had opened a private clinic for a time, but unfortunately the people here seemed to have a natural fear of the knife in his hand. In desperation, he went to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, and the result was complete. He originally arrived in Shanghai in a huff, planning to return to China first by steamer, but he met Sang Yu in the concession. So, with the mentality of trying it out, he turned back.

"There is a medical theory in our Chinese medical book, called 'fighting poison with poison'", Lin Haifeng looked at the three foreign doctors in the hall and said slowly, "Since viruses can produce toxins and poison people and animals, then there must be an antitoxin that can attack poison." This is also the theory of 'antitoxin immunity' newly invented by His Royal Highness King Ning, a great scientist of our Celestial Empire. ”

John Smith, George Brown, and James Paul all stared at each word of His Royal Highness Ann with questioning eyes, for fear of missing something.

Lin Haifeng looked at Zheng Nan, who was smiling proudly, and then said, "Just like the invention of cowpox to prevent smallpox, the Celestial Academy of Sciences is organizing people to develop preventive drugs for tetanus and diphtheria. As for how to implement it, His Royal Highness King Ning has basically already had all the theories and operational steps of medical theory after a long period of research, and now what he needs is an assistant to implement the whole process. I wonder if you would be interested in participating in this study? ”

Tetanus is a huge killer of a large number of wounded soldiers and soldiers who died in the war, and the epidemic of "diphtheria" is a serious threat to the lives of millions of children. As a doctor, I am of course most proud to be able to research a drug that can completely cure it with my own hands. All three nodded in unison. John Smith was even more delighted. Before leaving, he also deliberately carried a cage of guinea pigs, and now that the research direction and even the specific steps are available, it is not easy to do.

Lin Haifeng looked at several doctors who were obviously extremely excited, and smiled, "Because of the special contributions of gentlemen, our benevolent His Royal Highness King Ning will be happy to join gentlemen to become the co-inventor of new drugs with him, and provide you with a good living environment and salary, including the families of gentlemen in the future." Of course, there is a precondition that you cannot leave Tianjing for five years. The reason is not said by the king, and the gentlemen know. As for work, it's not just two drugs, and there are many more drugs waiting for you to research. How's that, the conditions aren't harsh, right? ”

The three of John Smith looked at each other, certainly not harshly. "Your Highness, when are we going to start working?" John Smith is a little impatient.

"In that case, let's have a gentleman's agreement." Lin Haifeng looked at John Smith sternly, and pointed to Zheng Nan beside him, "Originally, this qiē should have been discussed between His Royal Highness King Ning and the gentlemen, and the reason why this king came to talk was because this king was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Celestial Empire, that is, the intelligence department that gentlemen should be familiar with." ”

To John Smith, they said, "Your Royal Highness is in charge of the intelligence services and has nothing to do with them." As doctors and scholars, they need fame and honor in addition to money.

Lin Haifeng laughed again, stood up and walked to the three doctors, and once again shook hands with the three people in surprise, "From now on, we are colleagues, first of all, on behalf of the Celestial Empire, I would like to thank the gentlemen for their willingness to serve the Celestial Empire." In the future, if we encounter any difficulties, even if we and His Royal Highness King Ning raise it, as long as we can do it, we will do our best to satisfy the gentlemen. ”

John Smith looked down at the hand that had just been shaken by Lin Haifeng, and then at King Ning, who had been smiling all the time, and shrugged his shoulders at His Royal Highness King An, "Dear His Royal Highness King An, thank you very much for your attention. However, I think we still have difficulties finding King Ning. ”

"Oh," Lin Haifeng looked at him strangely, "Why?" ”

John Smith gestured with his finger on his head, "We don't want to alarm His Highness's intelligence department, because it will be a problem for everyone." As he spoke, he looked at his two companions and smiled. Americans always love humor.

"Really?" Lin Haifeng deliberately frowned and sighed softly, "I forgot one thing just now, this king is preparing to build a military hospital in Tianjing, first, to provide a good medical environment for the wounded and sick patients of the Heavenly Army, and second, to train and train medical personnel in the army. This king is looking for talents like gentlemen, but it's a pity! ”

"Oh dear His Royal Highness King An," John Smith grabbed one of Lin Haifeng's hands and kissed him vigorously on the back of his hand, "If what you said is true, I am willing to take back what I just said." "It's okay to have a research room without an affiliated hospital, and no matter how good the medicine is, there must be a lot of clinical opportunities.

In the hall, there was a burst of laughter. James Paul looked at the qiē that happened in front of him, as if he was still in a dream, leaving Jinling, it should not be called Tianjing, it has only been a year, and such earth-shaking changes have taken place here.

Serum from animals that have been infected with tetanus bacilli and survive can be injected into animals that have just been infected with tetanus to prevent the onset of tetanus disease. Because the serum of animals that have been affected with tetanus contains an antitoxin against tetanus toxin, it can "neutralize" the toxin and make it ineffective. This is called "immunology". In the same way, if the serum of an animal infected with diphtheria bacilli that survives is injected into an animal infected with diphtheria bacillus, the same effect will be obtained. It can cause the animal to produce an antitoxin that can "neutralize" the toxin, so that the heart has the ability to resist the toxin

Sending Lin Haifeng away, Zheng Nan began to explain in detail to the three people in the room, and finally, he smiled, "Gentlemen, I have done all the previous tests. Now it is up to the gentlemen to repeat it again to verify whether the theory I said is true, and then purify the drug and conduct clinical trials. In their spare time, gentlemen can write papers on what they have summarized and promote in the medical community in the future, which is also an important contribution of gentlemen to world medicine. ”

It's so simple, but it's so new. John Smith glanced at George and turned his head to look at Zheng Nan questioningly, "Your Royal Highness King Ning, can you tell me, which medical school did you graduate from?" ”

Zheng Nan laughed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, I don't seem to have gone to medical school." Looking at John Smith, whose face was full of disbelief, he stood up and beckoned to the three of them, "Come, gentlemen, and I'll take you to meet the other partners." ”

In another large, tightly sealed room that smelled of rancid and mildew, the three of John Smith saw a dozen people who were busy. Zheng Nan took the mask from a thin man in his forties, and introduced them while wearing it, "Mr. Smith, this Mr. Shen Hongda is an expert in Chinese medicine in our Celestial Empire, and he is proficient in the clinical pathology of Chinese medicine. The members of these research groups include Mr. Shen's disciples and experts in pharmaceuticals and other fields. As he spoke, he introduced the three foreign doctors to Shen Hongda one by one. When James Paul was introduced, the two of them smiled knowingly.

"Well, it seems that the two of you are no strangers. It's better this way, and everyone will work together in the future, and everyone will support each other. As he spoke, he squatted down, pointed to the white and dark green mold masses floating in several large basins on the ground, and glanced at John Smith beside him, "Mr. Smith, these molds belong to a type of penicillium, and the liquid containing this mold secretion after filtration is called 'penicillin'. Through the guò test, gentlemen will then be able to clearly understand that all staphylococcus, streptococci and diphtheria bacilli can be inhibited by it. What does this mean? ”

John Smith's mind buzzed, and he looked at the Celestial Emperor beside him in surprise, who claimed to have not studied any medical school. He was different from James Paul, who, despite being a surgeon, admired his Chinese counterparts during his time in Jinling. He and Shen Hongda are very good friends, especially when he saw that Shen Hongda could treat a patient with bone injuries with just one hand and a few pairs of medicines, and with a thick needle made of silver like a long nail, only a little bit of skin and flesh near the boils on the patient's back could treat the boils that he thought could only be cured by surgery, and he even had a sense of reverence for the medicine of this ancient country.

John Smith is not like that, he originally looked down on the so-called doctors here, thinking that they were all nonsense, and could not withstand the word "scrutiny" that the Chinese themselves like to say. But now this young prince really made him feel small, my God, the medicine of this ancient kingdom is too subtle and profound!

He stretched out his fingers and carefully flicked the mold cultivated on the broth in the basin, "Your Highness, if it becomes medicine, then pneumonia, syphilis and other purulent infections will be restrained!" He stuttered with excitement.

Zheng Nan stood up with a smile and looked at everyone, "Now this work has just begun, Mr. Smith is an expert in germs, and your job is to lead a team to find the best mold propagators, as well as the culture medium, to facilitate the cultivation of this mold in large quantities." Shen Hongda's other team, together with Ben Wang, was responsible for the purification of penicillin and its future industrial production. ”

If he knew that Zheng Nan understood that hugging was a noble courtesy, John Smith at this time really wanted to go up and hug this prince fiercely. His Royal Highness King An was right just now, King Ning is definitely a great and the greatest medical scientist, pathologist, and bacteriologist in the world, and he doesn't know how to describe it.

Of course, in what he had always thought was a rather backward country, when he finally walked into their room with His Royal Highness King Ning, he had no choice but to call this His Highness a great magician. The well-made microscope on the table alone was enough to make him blink for days. It's hard to imagine that there can be this thing here, more beautiful than the one you carry with you
