Chapter 196: Dissatisfaction
"Antimicrobials? What is that? Sandy was curious.
Qin Zhiyuan has just finished describing the principle of penicillin to Sandy, Sandy is a pathologist and a biologist, and penicillin is very suitable for Sandy.
"It's a substance that can kill bacteria in the human body without harming human cells." Qin Zhiyuan tried his best to be concise and to the point.
"How is this possible? How does it work? Suspicion was written all over Sandy's face.
After Michelle promised to stay on Corsica to preside over the physics lab, Sandy also agreed to stay and preside over the biology lab. Sandy and Michelle actually have projects on hand, but they don't have the funds to carry them out. After Qin Zhiyuan learned about the situation, he recommended penicillin to Sandy.
"Human cells don't have a cell wall, but viruses do, and this antimicrobial works against the cell wall of this virus." Qin Zhiyuan racked his brains.
Everyone in another time and space knows penicillin, but how penicillin is extracted, I'm afraid few people can say clearly, and Qin Zhiyuan is the same. If you want to talk about it in detail, Qin Zhiyuan knows that penicillin is to be extracted from a melon mold, and then corn is used as a culture medium, and Qin Zhiyuan doesn't know anything about the acid-base reactions that follow.
This is enough, Qin Zhiyuan only needs to point out a direction, and then Sandy will do the rest.
"Who has experimented on this before?" Sandy gets to the bottom of it.
Unless it is a genius, a great invention, or a major discovery, is never done by one person, but by many scientists.
"Nope." Qin Zhiyuan is sure.
As far as Qin Zhiyuan knew, there were indeed no scientists conducting research in this area, and if there was no other traverser, the relevant research would not have begun until 1928.
"So how did you know about this antimicrobial?" Sandy was curious.
"In the Far East. There is an ancient system called 'Chinese medicine', in which there are many miraculous cures, using a variety of different combinations of grass roots and bark to treat diseases, safe and without side effects, and standard green food. Qin Zhiyuan decided to give all the credit to "traditional Chinese medicine".
"Grass root bark? Is that witchcraft? Sandy didn't believe it.
"How, Misha knows better about this." Qin Zhiyuan looked for witnesses.
"Yes. Traditional Chinese medicine is indeed very magical, Mao Dao is long for them, just get a few small grasses from the side of the road can cure diseases, and the effect is very good, such as hemostasis of trauma, or fever, dysentery and other internal medicine, can be cured by grass root bark. Misha confirmed.
Mi Xia was Mao Shibai's subordinate before he became Qin Zhiyuan's secretary, and he felt really unpredictable about Mao Shibai's Chinese medicine that was similar to witchcraft. Not understanding is not necessarily a strange force, Misha still has this scientific spirit.
"Hmm. Sounds amazing. Sandy moved.
Of course, it is amazing, in fact, compared to Chinese medicine, Western medicine is the standard witchcraft. When Chinese medicine then scraped bones to cure poison, Western medicine was still in the stage of giving patients to drink Fu water.
"You can give it a try, and if it works, it's a great discovery that will win an explosives prize, and you'll be remembered by countless patients." Qin Zhiyuan watched people put down dishes.
For scientists like Sandy and Michelle, they don't care about money or anything. Only fame and prestige can impress them. Qin Zhiyuan's cooperation with Sandy and Michelle is exactly what they need, and Sandy and Michelle will win honors. And Qin Zhiyuan, as a funder, will enjoy the patent, which is a match made in heaven.
"Okay, I'll experiment with that, but first, I'm going to add some of my staff, okay?" Sandy demanded.
"Absolutely. Whoever you want to come, I'll do my best to do it for you, even if it's Marie Curie, I can try. Qin Zhiyuan got carried away.
"Don't say that, it's disrespectful to Maria." Sandy glanced at Qin Zhiyuan unceremoniously.
Uh-huh. The charm is still there, and Michelle is so blessed......
"Maria has helped us a lot, and Michelle and I are very grateful to her." Sandy continued.
It was only at this time that Qin Zhiyuan realized that the "Maria" mentioned by Sandy was Marie Curie, Marie Skłodowska's full name was Maria Skłodowska Curie, she was a Polish-French, and her master's degree and doctorate were obtained at the University of Paris, perhaps as early as that time, Sandy and Marie Curie knew each other.
It has been said that it is enough to understand a person and look at his friends.
If this sentence also applies to Sandy and Michelle, then Qin Zhiyuan has really picked up two treasures.
"I used to have my own team as well, but now that my lab has been disbanded, I'm not sure if my assistants have found new jobs, so I'm going to send a couple of telegrams." Sandy has confidence.
Michelle is the same, when Qin Zhiyuan proposed to equip Michelle with manpower, Michelle also rejected Qin Zhiyuan's proposal. Unlike Sandy, the two Regulus brothers are Michelle's most important assistants, and as long as these two are there, Michelle's laboratory only needs to be supplemented with a few general assistants.
"There is a telegraph room in Thunder Bluff, you can use it as you like, I give you an unlimited amount of money, you can use it as you like, just call a report to Gaspard." Qin Zhiyuan spared no expense.
The value of penicillin is immeasurable, and the sooner it appears, the sooner it can provide Qin Zhiyuan with huge cash flow, so Qin Zhiyuan will do whatever it takes to get penicillin out. The reason why it has been delayed until now is because Qin Zhiyuan did not have a fixed rear base before, and even if he had the conditions to get it, Qin Zhiyuan would not act rashly.
The value of penicillin is too great, and Qin Zhiyuan must hold him firmly in his hands.
"No upper limit on funds?" Sandy doubts Qin Zhiyuan's economic strength.
"Gaspard." Qin Zhiyuan snapped his fingers.
"Your Excellency." Gaspard, who was usually invisible, suddenly appeared in the doorway.
"Please tell me about my finances." Qin Zhiyuan directly.
"Yes, Your Excellency." Gaspard bowed slightly, and reported like a treasure: "The cash you can mobilize now is 6.5 million US dollars, and the total value of other securities, fixed assets, antiques, etc. is about 78 million US dollars, these assets include six castles scattered throughout France, eleven estates, ......"
"Alright, Sandy, I take my words back. The amount you can mobilize right now is probably capped at $6.5 million, and within that amount, you can call at any time, and if you exceed that number, give me a few days and I can raise it for you. Qin Zhiyuan is full of sincerity.
Since he became the Grand Master of the Templar Order, there must be some benefits, and these castles and manors are one of the benefits.
Of course, it's just that it's just good-looking, it's actually useless, not only can't it be transferred, but it also costs a lot of money every year to maintain these castles, which makes Qin Zhiyuan very dissatisfied.
