Chapter 208 Mass Production of Penicillin

In addition to this, he also has another consideration, many countries in the western continent have always attached importance to navigation, they started with navy and maritime trade, there are a large number of ships sailing on the sea every day, naturally have a large number of high-quality sailors, especially many sailors who can go to the ocean. And the Lanfang Empire is a continental country, there is not such a developed shipping industry, the foundation is too thin, even the most powerful Lanfang Navy in the Eastern Continent was only more than 50,000 people in its heyday, so Fang Xiaoyu attached great importance to this.

Because after the last sneak attack by the Japanese State, Fang Xiaoyu picked up a bargain, and he brought nearly 10,000 Lanfang Navy elites at one time, plus what he began to cultivate seven or eight years ago, and the ones he cultivated from the shipping trading company in recent years, the crew of the Chinese Consulate Navy can sail far away is less than 30,000 people, plus many logistics support, there are only more than 100,000 people.

Although there are more than the period when the Lanfang Navy won a total victory, Fang Xiaoyu knows very well that as the steel battleships get bigger and bigger, more and more manpower is needed on each ship, and these people in his hands are simply not enough, and last time he sent a large number of ironclad ships captured from the Cossack Empire to the Naval Academy as training ships, and the lack of manpower is also one of the reasons, so he hopes to train more qualified naval sailors when the pressure on China's territorial coastal defense is not too great.

Although hydrographic survey ships have a large number of scientific investigators, they also need a large number of sailors to operate the ships, and these survey ships have to travel all over the world's oceans and oceans, and can train a good group of experienced sailors who can go to the sea.

In addition, Fang Xiaoyu also plans to increase the scale of maritime trade in the name of Zhonghua Group Company, and at the same time build a large number of whaling ships, scientific research ships and other ocean-going special vessels, in order to train sailors, with enough sailors and Fang Xiaoyu's hands of increasingly strong technology and manufacturing capabilities, Fang Xiaoyu believes that in the future can have a strong enough naval force.

"This kid came here so early that he didn't even leave me time for breakfast." Seeing Xu Shouchang's back in a hurry gradually disappearing, Fang Xiaoyu muttered and went back to wash his face and asked people to bring him some breakfast, and at the same time asked someone to send breakfast to several ladies.

Fang Xiaoyu's breakfast was very rich, steamed buns, fritters and soy milk, plus a few delicious pickled side dishes, these things had just been served on the table, and the next person came to report that Sun Xiaomei was coming. Fang Xiaoyu sighed and said, "What's the matter with these people, if they don't come, they won't come, they will come as soon as they come, and they won't even give me time for breakfast." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said angrily: "Let Sun Xiaomei come in directly." "Fang Xiaoyu and Sun Xiaomei both grew up together, and their relationship is very good, so they naturally don't have so many scruples.

"Who made the young master angry?" Sun Xiaomei walked into the living room with a smile, and saw Fang Xiaoyu frowning slightly at a glance.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Who do you say, why did you come here early in the morning, and you didn't even leave me time for breakfast." ”

Sun Xiaomei smiled: "I have a happy event to tell you, I wanted to tell you last night, but unfortunately it was too late, I endured it all night." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "Did Lin Feng agree to marry you?" ”

Sun Xiaomei's face turned red and said, "I hate it, it's not my private matter." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "You haven't had breakfast yet, sit down and eat some together, let's talk while eating." ”

"Okay." Sun Xiaomei was not polite, and sat down at the table and said, "I can't ask for the food of the young master's house, but there are the best cooks in the whole Eastern Continent here." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "It's not just the Eastern Continent, those in the Western Continent are not as good as those in the Eastern Continent." ”

Sun Xiaomei said: "I haven't left the Eastern Continent, how do I know what the people of the Western Continent eat." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Otherwise, I'll give you a chance to study abroad, and you will go to the Western Continent to study for a few years?" ”

Sun Xiaomei said disdainfully: "Go there to study medicine? It's not as advanced as our own, since our hospital was built, even several nobles from the Western Continent have come to treat the disease. ”

After listening to Sun Xiaomei's last sentence, Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "Oh? There are also the nobles of the Western Continent. ”

Sun Xiaomei nodded and said, "Of course, there are Lord Babur of the Nantes Empire, Sir Arthur of the Yaman Empire, and Mr. Morgan, a wealthy merchant of the Boston Empire. ”

Fang Xiaoyu was surprised: "Wait, you just said Sir Arthur?" And Mr. Morgan? ”

"yes." Sun Xiaomei looked at Fang Xiaoyu puzzled and nodded: "It's indeed called these two names, is there anything wrong?" ”

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Is it Sir Arthur, the owner of Arthur's Arsenal, and Mr. Morgan, the president of the First National Bank in Boston?" ”

Sun Xiaomei said: "That Mr. Morgan is indeed yes, but I don't know if this Sir Arthur has an arsenal or not, but it is true that he always likes to fiddle with some gun models." ”

Fang Xiaoyu listened with great interest and said, "What kind of disease are the two of them?" Came to us? Sun Xiaomei said: "Mr. Morgan, I know that it is asthma. As for Sir Arthur, I don't know what to say, his attending physician is your fourth sister. "About the fourth sister, Fang Xiaoyu knows the way, his fourth sister Fang Ruixi has been studying medicine with Sun Xiaomei and them, and she got married in the capital two years ago, but Fang Xiaoyu didn't know that she also joined the newly built Zhonghua General Hospital.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "Now that you are the new Minister of Health of the Chinese Collar, you must promote the popularization of hospitals in the whole Chinese Collar as soon as possible, and now you have a sufficient number of doctors, and the first batch of medical students from the university are about to graduate, with these people, you should be able to establish hospitals in all cities." ”

Sun Xiaomei nodded and said: "Yes, there are a lot of immigrants, we have long started to gather them for training in modern medicine, in addition to some doctors who have immigrated from the Western Continent, plus medical students like us who have trained ourselves and are about to graduate, the number of doctors is enough." In addition to the general hospital in Vladivostok for surgery, we are fully capable of opening hospitals in every city. ”

Fang Xiaoyu added: "Also, you have to open some short-term medical training courses to train some medical personnel who are familiar with medicine, so that they can open medical clinics in rural areas." They don't need to be cultivated too finely, they just need to have the ability to distinguish common diseases and know what medicine to give. ”

Sun Xiaomei nodded and said with a smile: "With such a large scale, it takes a lot of money, and this requires the funds provided by your Zhonghua Group Company, young master." ”

Fang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "That's no problem, I plan to link the pharmaceutical company with the hospital, and all the pharmaceutical profits will be used for the construction of the hospital, and in the future, free medical care will be gradually realized." ”

Sun Xiaomei said: "Great, but now the pharmaceutical company only has sulfonamides to support the scene, so I brought you a new drug." ”

Fang Xiaoyu smiled: "That's why you came to see me early in the morning?" ”

Sun Xiaomei said with a smile: "Of course, I have already relied on the information given to me by the young master to manufacture penicillin, and it has passed the verification, so it is completely safe to use." ”

"Really?" Fang Xiaoyu stood up excitedly: "How about the problem of mass production?" ”

Sun Xiaomei said with a smile: "There is a young master you gave the method of making penicillin from melons has been verified and can be fully implemented, starting today, the new production line of the pharmaceutical company has begun to build, I believe that penicillin can be put into production in a month, but a lot of land is needed for planting special melons." ”

Fang Xiaoyu was very happy to hear the news, you must know that for the world that has not yet begun to abuse antibiotics, the efficacy of penicillin is almost the same as that of an immortal medicine. With this super drug, many of the current terminal diseases can be cured, and Fang Xiaoyu believes that penicillin will definitely be sold abroad at a higher price than gold.

Fang Xiaoyu said: "There is no problem with the land, anyway, it won't be used much, penicillin must be produced as soon as possible, the first batch must be sent to the front line first, now there are more battles, the wounds of those wounded are very easy to inflame, with this medicine we can save many lives." ”

Fang Xiaoyu definitely put the lives of the soldiers first, so he went to the medical department of Zhonghua University a few days ago to discuss with the head of the department there.

Fang Xiaoyu said again: "Didn't I send the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to those Langzhong, let them continue to study Chinese herbal medicine in the future, don't train them in your medical system, the name of this Langzhong is not good, they will be called Chinese medicine in the future." ”

Sun Xiaomei said: "But the efficacy of those Chinese herbs is so poor, what's the use, it's not as powerful as sulfonamides and penicillin." ”

Fang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, "It's useless to tell you now, you will understand later." Fang Xiaoyu is still very clear about the return and revival of traditional Chinese medicine after the abuse of antibiotics in later generations on the earth caused various harms. Antibiotics can flourish for a while, but when its harm is revealed, Chinese medicine will become another trump card in their hands.

Sun Xiaomei tilted his head and said: "You are always reasonable, but since Langzhong has become a traditional Chinese medicine, what are you going to name for those of us who are learning new medical knowledge." Fang Xiaoyu just wanted to open his mouth and say that it was called Western medicine, but when he turned his head and thought about it, it was not right, on Wangxiang Xing, the Western medicine system can be established by itself, if it is called Western medicine, it seems to be imported from the Western Continent, it is not very good.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xiaoyu said: "Since it will become the medical system of our Chinese collar in the future, you will call it Huayi." The development of the Chinese medicine system and the Chinese medicine system together will support the prosperity of Chinese medicine. ”

Sun Xiaomei was also infected by Fang Xiaoyu's words: "Chinese Medicine, great, we will be called Chinese Medicine in the future, we will not only become the medical system of the Chinese Collar, but also the medical system of the whole world." ”
