317 Medical breakthroughs

Coming to the medical laboratory of the medical school, Duke saw a lot of wounded and medical students along the way, and they were very excited and happy to see Duke's arrival, after all, Duke can be said to be the national idol of Storm Castle.

And Duke tried to smile as much as possible, showing his affinity. At the same time, he found that the number of nurses and medicine in the medical school seemed to have increased significantly, and the two wars of the Storm Army had also had a great impact on the minds of the people of Storm Castle, and many young women who were reluctant to let their young women show their heads before also changed their minds after seeing the Storm Army fighting for Storm Castle.

Another point is Duke's influence on Stormcastle, he himself attaches great importance to equality between men and women, coupled with the shortage of labor in Stormcastle, he has always advocated for more women to work, not only to earn money to support their families, but also to improve their status.

After more than a year of calling, coupled with the special environmental impact of Storm Castle itself, it still has a great effect, so we can see this kind of situation where the number of female nurses and doctors has increased significantly.

Walking all the way to the medical laboratory of Vesalius, as soon as he walked through the door, Duke saw a dissected corpse on the dissecting table. Although Duke is no longer the rookie who has never seen blood, he still feels a little unaccustomed to seeing this bloody scene suddenly.

However, Duke was soon attracted by other things, as Duke saw the corpses of ice demons and ghouls on the shelves next to him. It can also be seen from this point that Vesalius has obviously studied these racial creatures that are different from humans, but he didn't expect that in this world, Vesalius has progressed to the point of studying heretical races, and this world has changed a lot.

Seeing Duke come in, at this time, Vesarus also put down his work, ran towards Duke with an excited face and said, "Lord Lord, you are finally here, I have an important discovery to tell you!"

After Vesalius said this, he directly pulled Duke in front of the light microscope and said to Duke: "Lord Lord, didn't you tell me about penicillin before, I finally found this mold!"

Originally, Duke was still a little confused, and he didn't know what Vesarius was so excited about. But when he heard the word penicillin, he instantly became excited, and even his heart began to beat violently.

You must know that the real breakthrough in medical experiments, so that human beings no longer resign themselves to fate, was the invention of penicillin, an antibiotic. It is no exaggeration to say that penicillin has simply saved countless lives, and with the discovery of penicillin, various antibiotics have made up the progress of modern medicine!

And Duke's emphasis on penicillin is also at the top of the Storm Castle development plan. From the very beginning of the invention of the microscope, Duke has been looking for opportunities for the invention of penicillin. After all, this kind of thing is a real life-saving thing, and Duke doesn't want to be hung up because of a small wound or illness when he is successful in other aspects, which would be too embarrassing.

So he had long been teaching about antibiotics and bacteria to the scientific pioneers of medicine such as Copernicus and Vessarus. And with the advent of high-powered optical microscopes, they have also been able to see the presence of microorganisms such as cells, and even Stormcastle already has basic microbial records.

It's just that for the discovery of the original strain of penicillin, that is, Penicillium, one is in a blank state. After all, Duke was not a doctor in his previous life, he only knew that the invention of penicillin in history was found in staphylococcal colonies, because where these penicillium grow, other bacteria cannot grow.

But the problem is that Duke doesn't just know how Penicillium came from and how Staphylococcus appears, and Duke doesn't know anything about it. He could only tell Copernicus and Vesarius about his limited understanding, and as for the eventual discovery of Penicillium, it depended on fate.

As a result, God will not favor Duke every time like winning the lottery, the medical laboratory has been established for more than half a year, and there has been no breakthrough in the direction of penicillium, let alone the extraction of penicillin, an antibiotic.

Slowly, as other important things increased, Duke also put this matter on the back of his mind, and when he could find Penicillium would depend on his luck. I didn't expect to get this amazing good news today!

As Duke looked at the microscope with a shudder, as the lens zoomed in, he saw a patch of cyan mold, not much different from the penicillium that normally came from the decay of something. Duke once thought that as long as the cyan mold was penicillium, the reality finally made him understand that not the cyan mold must be penicillin, so penicillin has not been found.

In addition to these penicilliums, Duke also saw some red and yellow liquid bacteria mixed with the side, which if Duke guessed correctly, it should be pus and blood or something, that is, staphylococcal colonies. It's just that the optical microscope of this era, with a magnification of between six hundred and eight hundred times, is already the limit of Storm Castle.

To carefully and clearly see the characteristics of these bacteria, such as flagella and kernels, it requires at least a thousand times more magnification, which is beyond the scope of Stormcastle's scientific capabilities, and it can be said that it is beyond the scientific level of the entire Middle Ages.

"My lord, did you see that turquoise colony, if I'm not mistaken, it's what you call Penicillium. The main evidence base for the judgment is the bacteria produced by the pus and blood next to it. As long as Penicillium grows, these pus and blood bacteria cannot survive, so I judged that these Penicillium have a strong ability to kill other bacteria. ”

"As long as it can be determined that it is harmless to the human body as you said, then the soldier's wound infection, you can use these penicillium to kill other bacteria, once penicillium is thoroughly applied in the clinic, maybe those infected soldiers can survive in the future, and there are many diseases and plagues, you can also rely on penicillium to kill!"

"At that time, we will accomplish what only the God of Light can do, save the world!"

When Vesalius said his last words, there were tears in his eyes. As a medical practitioner, he definitely understands the value of the small clump of green mold in front of him. Perhaps from now on, the life and death destined by God will be controlled by human beings themselves!
