However, speed was enough, and only a day and a half later, almost in the evening, Wang Ruobin announced that he had arrived at the periphery of Lushunkou, and he could see the towering landmark of Golden Mountain.

The operation of the clipper boat is too difficult, and the dock facilities here in Lushun are too simple, even Wang Ruobin does not dare to let the Danyang dock directly, so he can only use the boat's own boat to ferry people up. Fortunately, there are not many people, and together with medical equipment and the like, it is almost the same to use a dinghy to shuttle back and forth twice.

When a group of people supported each other to land in Liaodong, their legs were soft, even Pang Yu, who was accustomed to sitting on a sailboat, or Xie Xi, who claimed to never get seasick, was pale at this time, and the first thing he did after going ashore was to find a place to retch. After bouncing and moving his legs and feet for a long time, he gradually recovered.

In the twilight, Chen Jun and Xu Lei were already waiting on the shore, and the old guys naturally had a bit of a cold noise when they met. But then they were in a hurry to take Doctor Shi to the side of the Nancheng fortress - Xiao Lang was lying there, still unconscious. Even if Doctor Shi hadn't recovered at this time, and was lying on a big stone and spitting out water, they would not have the slightest delay - Xu Lei waved his hand, and several men stepped forward to pick up Doctor Shi and left.

But Pang Yu did not immediately follow, but squatted on the beach and watched the sea level. Xie Xi walked over and patted him:

"What are you looking at?"

"We're running out for time -- you see, a lot of places are already starting to freeze, once massive sea ice is formed. Our ships will no longer be able to dock. ”

Following Pang Yu's fingers, Xie Xi also saw the blue glow of the sunset, some places where the water waves were gentle had formed a smooth mirror, and a lot of broken ice that had been washed up by the waves had accumulated on the shore.

"It's not good. If you can't get it, you're going to be stuck here all winter...... No matter. Let's go and see Xiao Lang's condition first. ”

…………

The southern city of Arthur has now become a standard barracks. Chen Jun has not been idle in the past few days, but he has done a lot of work. However, it can only be limited to his expertise. The civil engineering is very solid, but the deployment of the military mainly relies on Xu Lei.

Fortunately, the Qiong Navy is not an army that relies heavily on the personal ability of its commanders, and it can basically cope with most situations according to the discipline. Xu Lei didn't put all his troops in Nancheng -- in fact, he couldn't put them down. The area of the two cities in the north and south of Lushun is not large, and it can only be called a fortress. Therefore, Xu Lei relied on the southern city and built another military camp next to it, and the castle served as the core of material storage and defense - of course, there was also a military hospital. At present, Xiao Lang occupies one of the best rooms as an intensive care ward. In addition to him, a number of soldiers who had been wounded in the previous battle were also housed in nearby houses.

Pang Yu and Xie Xi observed the surrounding environment on the way into the city, and when they went to visit Xiao Lang, they were a little slower, and when they entered the room. Dr. Shi had already begun a preliminary examination of his injuries, but judging from his frowning brow, it was clear that his condition was not good.

It is said to be a visit, but in fact, it is just a glance. Xiao Lang is still not awake at the moment. Except that he is very thin and frighteningly white, he can't see anything as a layman. It's just that there is a strong smell of Chinese medicine and feces in the ward, which makes it difficult for people to stay in it for a long time. So Xie Pang and the others stayed inside for a long time before they both withdrew, and after a while, Shi Yisheng also walked out. He took off his blood-stained plastic gloves and handed them to his assistant to clean - a once-used and once-thrown thing in modern society, but here it is a family heirloom to be used again and again. While talking to several hygienists and local doctors who have recently taken care of Xiao Lang, I tried to learn as much as I can about the various conditions of the patients.

When they were almost done, the two of them stepped forward, and the three of them looked at each other, found a quiet place, and began to discuss.

"How's it going?"

Xie Xi naturally asked this question, and Dr. Shi shook his head as he did just now:

"Unfortunately, his intestines were pierced and the feces entered his abdominal cavity and became contaminated. Frankly, I'm surprised that he still hasn't shown any signs of severe sepsis - which is usually unavoidable. But here, maybe our modern human constitution is relatively resistant to the germs of this time and space, maybe it is because of effective nursing, or maybe the so-called 'secret recipe of Jiangmen' of those old Chinese medicine doctors is really effective...... Anyway, the state of decay around the wound is not severe. ”

"So he's still saved?"

Xie Xi only cared about the conclusion, but Dr. Shi spread his hands and did not dare to give an affirmative answer:

Pang Yu raised his eyebrows - Shi Yisheng is plain on the outside, but he is quite arrogant on the inside, as one of the two most capable surgeons in the Qiong Navy, he is not very convinced by the foreign doctor of Old Jack. But now he has publicly stated that he may not be as good as the other party, indicating that this operation is really very risky.

"Can you get him out? Move to Weihai base or simply bring it back to Hainan Island and have surgery in a better place? ”

Pang Yu proposed a proposal, but Doctor Shi immediately shook his head:

"No, his injuries are in a very delicate equilibrium at the moment, and if he moves, it is difficult to ensure that the wound does not produce other changes—bad changes."

After a pause, he added:

"The key is bacterial infection of sepsis, which is the most important cause of possible fatality. We don't yet know what factors have inhibited the bacterial community in Xiao Lang's wound, so that he has not had a Yan zhòng infection until now, so we don't dare to change this situation lightly. ”

"Do we still have antibiotics from the modern world?"

This stupid question of dismissal made Lao Shi sneer:

"How is it possible, even if there is any left, it will have expired long ago."

"I've heard that the medical team and the chemistry team are working on new drugs, but are there any results that can be used?"

Pang Yu knew a little more about various departments and asked practical questions, but the answers he got were also unsatisfactory:

"It's hard to say, I know that the chemistry group has set up a department to try to prepare sulfonamides, but so far it has not been submitted to our medical department, and there are no test samples. On our side, some comrades are collecting moldy orange peels and trying to make the most primitive penicillin, but nothing has been achieved. ”

"So there's nothing we can do at the moment - except to wait for Old Jack to come?"

Xie Xi said helplessly, Doctor Shi thought about it and nodded:

"I'm afraid that's it...... In fact, I guess even Jack probably doesn't have much means to come, it's just to quickly make up his mind to have surgery, but whether it can succeed or not depends on luck. The point is that sepsis is too scary, and in the era when there are no antibiotics, once an infection appears, it is a terminal disease. ”

"Did the doctors' recipes work?"

Pang Yu pointed to the place where the "old Chinese medicine doctors" were, but Dr. Shi spread his hands:

"In terms of effect, it does have some use, but it only slows down the infection process, but it does not completely stop the infection. The problem is that when I asked them about the specific means, the old men themselves couldn't explain it clearly, but only said that they acted according to traditional experience, and the old recipes passed down from their ancestors. You know that Chinese medicine is a gentleman and a minister, and the formulas are very complicated, and I can't figure out the principle in a short time, so I can't evaluate it. ”

"Or maybe they kept a hand. The secret recipe is always kept secret. ”

Xie Xi guessed, Shi Yisheng smiled:

"It's hard to say, but according to their methods, Xiao Lang's injuries will still gradually deteriorate, and he will die sooner or later, so we still have to rely on ourselves. Of course, I can talk to them more in the next few days, and maybe I can find out what works in that recipe and use it - but I have to say it up front: it's just a possibility. ”

"Understood, do what you want, there will definitely be no medical trouble here that will not be difficult for you...... By the way, I also went to see the other wounded soldiers, and we didn't come here just for him Xiao Lang. ”

Listening to Xie Xi's tone, he obviously had a lot of resentment towards Xiao. Pang Yu smiled, didn't talk about it for now, and instead brought up another topic:

"If there are no seriously injured people who need to be transported immediately, let's let the Danyang evacuate first. Wang Ruobin: They can't stop on the sea all the time. ”

Due to the poor conditions of the wharf at Lushunkou, the unfamiliarity with the hydrological conditions, and the threat of sea ice, the Danyang could not dock. So Wang Ruobin agreed with them: if it wasn't urgent to take people away, he would first drive the ship to Weihai to anchor, and then drive over when necessary. Anyway, the distance between Lushun and Weihai is only less than ninety nautical miles, and at the speed of the Danyang, it only takes a few hours to cross this section of the sea.

Xie Xi agreed to this construction, so he typed the Morse code with a light on the hillside on the spot and notified Wang Ruobin there. After a while, on the sea level in the distance, the tall mast lights of the Danyang also began to flicker continuously, indicating that they had received a notice from this side. Immediately, the shadow of the sail, which had been blurred, began to move, and soon disappeared into the deep twilight. P
