Chapter 45: Liquid Gold

In the Xiaoqingshan Biological Breeding Base, Zou Shuming followed Zhang Shusheng to undergo two extremely strict inspections on the second floor, and only after passing through a gloomy and slender corridor did he enter the base.

He was amazed that a greenhouse could be built here, and there was even a thermostatic greenhouse that was very difficult to build.

Compared with Zou Shuming, Zhou Zikai is also a workaholic, he is alone, and he still eats and lives in the base.

Even though there were more and more goods in Lishuping, it was becoming more and more prosperous, and several streets were full of business stalls, but he did not go shopping once. In addition to his assistants, the only people Zhou Zikai came into contact with were Zhang Shusheng and the guards who would never have anything to say.

"Shuming, this is Zou Shuming, a patriotic scholar I just hired, who also studied in the United States, so the two of you get to know each other." Zhang Shusheng took Zou Shuming to change into clean clothes with the help of two base assistants, and waited outside the constant temperature for a long time before seeing Zhou Zikai come out.

"Manager!" Zhou Zikai never seems to be sympathetic, and he never thought that he had made people wait for a long time, time for him, it is a cycle of research and experiment, turning to Zou Shuming, regardless of the mud on his hands, he stretched out his hand, "Hello, my name is Zhou Zikai." Congratulations on leaving damn America and returning to your mother's arms. ”

Zhang Shusheng smiled faintly, but he didn't expect Zhou Zikai to also have a side of his surname.

"Harvard Medical School, Cell and Biology, Shuming Zou, I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future." Zou Shuming didn't deliberately report the name of the school, but he didn't want the other party to look down on him and affect future cooperation.

"Yale University, Genetics, Zikai Zhou."

After the two said hello, Zhou Zikai took the three of them to another larger indoor plantation, compared to the scorching heat outside, instead of taking cooling measures, instead of taking cooling measures, you can see a heated water charcoal stove, which is much hotter than outside.

There is only one vine crop in the greenhouse, and there are small green melons growing on the vines, which look like small melons, but they don't look like them on closer inspection.

Zhou Zikai looked at Zhang Shusheng, the manager nodded and gestured to himself, and he explained: "Shuming, look." This is a new variety of melon that the manager introduced from an island, and the manager named it green plum melon. With the manager himself acting as an assistant, during a [***] experiment of the green fruit, it was found that it was mixed with corn syrup to produce a strange substance, and this miraculous substance can actually kill staphylococcus bacteria......"

"What ???"

Zhou Zikai's understatement hit Zou Shuming like a thunderbolt, as a cell and biologist, he knows very well what it means if staphylococci can be killed by an unknown substance, which may mean the discovery of an epoch-making bactericidal substance.

"Take me to the lab. Zikai, you may have encountered an epoch-making discovery. ”

So, a plant geneticist and a cell and biology scholar, left Zhang Shusheng alone, and ran to the laboratory, through the window, Zhang Shusheng did not go in, he already knew the result.

Just today, a miraculous substance will be officially discovered by the scholars of this era, and the hero of the bio-based blend of melon and corn syrup is only providing them with a pair of God's hands.

I really don't know anything about science, and I can synthesize ready-made penicillin with my dream machine, but I can't synthesize it on a large scale. The real large-scale production of penicillin depends on Zou Shuming, whose whole face was deformed and was already excited, and he was unwilling to leave in front of the microscope.

He and Zhou Zikai will receive countless honors for a long, long time, and maybe they will mention the manager who mixed the two things together. But after they enjoy these honors, they will make more contributions, and develop bacteria, biology, genetics, etc., in poor China to a height that is difficult for other countries to achieve.

"Someone, go and inform Hua Yuwei, the wife of scholar Zou Shuming, that he will not go back tonight and will spend the night in the laboratory. Remember to grab an extra blanket for the night. Walking outside the base, facing the gradually rising starlight, Zhang Shusheng was thinking, fortunately, he had really changed a lot of things. But these lucky people who are lucky because of themselves are also their own blessings and creations.

If he had crossed over to the Newton tree and caught the apple while he was napping, wouldn't Newton have discovered gravity? , in fact, if you change a person "Yangton" or something, you will find it.

If he had traveled to the Leaning Tower in Italy and reached out and grabbed the falling iron ball, wouldn't Galileo have discovered the law of free fall? Another person, the same will find it.

What you change is only the small details of history, but the general trend of real history is affected by the times. It is precisely because the science and technology of this era have advanced to a considerable level that the discovery of penicillin has become a matter of time.

It's just that this process has an extra pair of golden hands, and with a flick of it, it has changed.

Give a straw bale a bunch of scientific and technological information, and it will never become the climate. Giving a scientist the corresponding scientific and technological information may create a complete scientific and technological chain. While they enjoy the honor, they also shoulder the responsibility of the leader in science and technology.

Zhang Shusheng came to the breeding base again the next day, and found that the two people inside were still busy, and even the assistants were driven away by them, and no one touched the food placed at the door.

Although Zhou Zikai is not a professional biologist, being said by Zou Shuming is like an initiation, and he also understands how great the effect on human beings will be once this substance is confirmed and then refined.

In the laboratory, the two of them did not leave an inch, and they were so hungry that they ate a few bites of cold rice at the door, and then casually went on a chair, working overtime and doing experiments all night, for four whole nights.

On the morning of the fifth day

"Well, experiment..."Zou Shuming opened his blood-red eyes in a daze, dry and painful, struggled to walk to the microscope, turned on the observation light, and went up to take a look, and his confused mind was suddenly awakened.

"Zikai, Zikai, come and see."

At noon, after Zhang Shusheng, who got the report, arrived, the two scholars who were so tired that they were not sincere and benevolent cried with joy, and in the face of this manager, Zou Shuming actually cried.

"Shuming, you're too tired, why don't you go back and rest first." Zhang Shusheng was also very excited, this Zou Shu was really powerful, and in more than two days, he not only determined this special substance in the culture medium, but also preliminarily separated a small part of the purified solution.

"Manager, I'm happy." Zou Shuming pulled Zhou Zikai, and the two have formed a deep scientific friendship in these four days and four nights of battle.

"Manager, this newly discovered substance can indeed kill bacteria, in the past four days of experiments, we have taken several different bacteria as experimental objects, put in that special substance, and conducted comparative observation experiments, and the results are very satisfactory." Zou Shuming endured the excitement in his heart, picked up a small test tube on the table, and said in a trembling voice: "It's it, it will change history." It will also save the lives of thousands of people. And this miracle substance was not born in American laboratories, nor in France, Germany, England, or even Russia, it was born in our Chinese laboratories. I, Zou Shuming, just went out and died immediately, and I was blind in this life. ”

"Manager, you name it. This will be our company's second epoch-making discovery after the new rice seed. Hehe, I, a geneticist, have also been exposed to the company twice. There is no company, there is no manager, and the combination of these accidental and accidental factors cannot make up the two inevitable new rice and bactericidal substances. In the face of great joy, Zhou Zikai also rarely sighed, Shusheng Company is really a lucky place, and Zhang Shusheng is a wise leader with great powers and great luck.

"This liquid gold is called penicillin." Zhang Shusheng patted the two on the shoulder and asked the two to sit down, "Chinese are jokingly called the sick man of East Asia by foreign devils, which makes people hate and helpless. Other aspects are too far away, and now, at least in this scientific field, the efforts of the two of you have pushed the Chinese to the forefront. The next thing you have to do is make as much of it as possible. China needs it to cure diseases and save people, and the company needs to sell it to the West at the price of gold and gold, so that those Westerners who are above the top will also pay a lot of money to buy our medicine, and willingly use real money to support the expansion of our Shusheng company and support our Chinese's own scientific and technological revolution. We did not catch up with the first scientific and technological revolution, we did not catch up with the second. But I promise you that one day with me, I will do whatever it takes to make the Chinese not only catch up, but even lead the third scientific and technological revolution. And the new rice and penicillin are just the starting point of all this. However, the old rules, the company's confidentiality system, do not allow you to violate it in any form. ”

"Don't worry, manager. Now I just want to go back and get a good night's sleep and then move on to more experiments. Demonstration of several processes for mass production. Science is all about touching, and if the manager gets any good ideas from other special channels, he must hand it over to us as soon as possible. Zou Shuming knew that this manager had great powers, and he might be able to buy the technology in any laboratory in the West, and follow him to engage in scientific research, which made people very down-to-earth.

Zhang Shusheng nodded, asked the guards to help the two go back to rest, and then ordered to strengthen the encirclement of the breeding base, which should serve as the main penicillin research center before the underground biological laboratory was built.

He knew in his heart that compared with the chemical products that can only be mass-produced early next year, penicillin will be able to produce benefits this year. In the face of all kinds of difficulties like mountains after coming to this era, he has never given up, but today he has seen real hope: penicillin is coming, will others be far away.

Today, an extremely important step has been taken, and the times are being changed step by step by themselves with super technology.
