Chapter 29: The Birth of Penicillin
In the early morning of the second day, Shu Yan went to look at his glass measuring cup as soon as he got up.
It's a black, translucent glass measuring cup.
The mold in the house also grew into a clump.
The culture broth is the juice made from ground rice and yams, and then the mold is removed and placed in a glass measuring cup.
Without plastic film, Shu Yan found some wide hydrophobic plants by the river, removed the epidermis of the plants, and covered them in a measuring cup.
I found a place and put it away.
Cheng San looked at his godmother's operation.
"Do you have to wait?"
Shu Yan sighed: "It's humid here, maybe faster, and this afternoon, we're starting." ”
Shu Yan and Cheng San continued to collect wood outside the yard, and made a simple funnel out of wood.
In the afternoon, Shu Yan opened the glass measuring cup, and the water in it was already green.
She brought another glass measuring cup, put the funnel on it, and went to put the cotton that had been scalded with boiling water into the mouth of the funnel and began to strain the culture.
After doing this, three times as much oil was added to the culture medium.
Cheng San saw Shu Yan's step-by-step operation with the poison refining style.
"I don't know, I thought you were refining poison."
Shu Yan glared at Cheng San.
"You kid, it's just the beginning, if you don't do a good step, you can't do it."
In fact, this was transformed by Shu Yan according to the steps left by Huang Yuwei's grandfather.
The measuring cup slowly began to layer, Shu Yan took out the grease, and then put the toner made by the stove before into the measuring cup.
Taking advantage of this time, Shu Yan made a small glass of distilled water.
Wash it slowly with vinegar and water, this process lasted many times, and Shu Yan was afraid that he would get some impurities into it.
After this process, there was another long wait.
Cheng San originally thought that the thing was done, but when he was about to speak, Shu Yan said: "Wait for 7 days and see if it can grow." ”
Cheng San took a deep look at the contents of the small cup and immediately smiled.
"What can grow? Could it be that it is a Ganoderma lucidum. ”
Shu Yan returned to the house and took Xiao Yu'er's hand.
"Good granddaughter, if you hold on for another week, Grandma will be able to make the medicine for you."
Xiao Yu'er was already so thin at this time that she was out of shape, and she was hydrated every day, but she couldn't eat anymore.
Shu Yan also instructed everyone to wash their hands with water every day, to wash their hands with soap before eating, and to drink only boiled water.
I hope to survive 7 days, in these 7 days, Shu Yan has not been idle, she and Cheng San used extremely primitive tools to make a boat.
It's a pity that there is not enough time, ordinary wooden rafts can't cross the river, Shu Yan built an ancient wooden boat of the Native Americans of North America, the structure is very special, and it can withstand a certain degree of wind and waves.
As for why Shu Yan is so, it is because she loved survival games in her last life, and after the age of thirty, she was not married and had no children, and she began to study all kinds of strange things in her spare time.
She also learned to fly an airplane and got a license, but unfortunately there are no airplanes here.
When Qixiu saw Shu Yan's masterpiece, she couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "My mother-in-law is very similar to a person I have heard of, as if she can do anything." ”
Shu Yan is interested, it must be a fellow countryman.
"Who is like me?"
Qixiu said: "Miss Wang, who was famous in Beijing back then, was smart and moving, she could also make all kinds of exquisite glass, and soap was also the first to be created by her, but after Miss Wang married to Jiangnan, she gradually regained her heart and began to teach her husband and children. ”
Shu Yan was stunned for a moment, could it be that he was really a fellow practitioner.
Shu Yan asked, "Where is that Miss Wang now, I can visit when I have time." ”
Qixiu said: "Miss Wang should be about the same age as your mother-in-law now, I just heard about it, but I don't know where she is now." ”
When Shu Yan heard this, he didn't ask any more.
If she can cross over, then others can naturally do it.
It was time to accept penicillin, Shu Yan opened the measuring cup and saw a circle of blue-black things at the bottom, which was penicillin.
Shu Yan hurriedly took the hollow straw in the middle, took out a third, and injected Xiaoyu'er with a crude syringe.
If taken orally, stomach acid will destroy some penicillin, and Shu Yan can only take risks.
Huang Yuwei looked at this scene, and she sighed slightly.
"My grandfather also tried to get it into human blood, but it was very dangerous."
Shu Yan didn't speak, this method is naturally sinister, after all, how can this kind of production condition be injected into something, what the hell.
But Xiao Yu'er's situation at this time is already in danger.
Xu is God felt Shu Yan's mood, it began to rain outside again, and the family hid in the house, feeling very complicated.
Cheng San sang crooked songs without a match, and Shu Yan was restless.
She kept wondering if she had made a mistake in her previous steps.
Huang Yuwei wiped the sweat on Xiao Yu'er's forehead, this child has been sweating, with a shallow biological knowledge, Xiao Yu'er's immune system is fighting hard at this time.
Throughout the night, three or four basins of water were changed, and the heavy rain outside kept falling.
The next morning, Xiao Yu'er's fever subsided, and her face was much better.
Qixiu suddenly hugged Shu Yan in surprise.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law! It's done, I'm going to use that medicine too. ”
Shu Yan was still a little confused, but Qixiu's words didn't stop for a moment.
"You don't know, I'm itching to death every day, I feel like there are thousands of insects biting me, especially on rainy days, after taking this medicine, I won't itch anymore, and it won't hurt!"
Qixiu's face was full of tears, Shu Yan sighed, and injected her with medicine.
Qixiu covered her arm and kept laughing, Huang Yuwei looked at her, and was inexplicably scared.
Cheng San stood aside with his arms crossed, and he said: "Godmother, in a few days, they will be well, let's go, I went outside yesterday to take a look, and many people are sick." ”
Shu Yan's eyelids jumped.
She hurriedly said to a few people: "Don't go out, we'll leave after that, it's too dangerous here." ”
Holding life-saving medicine in your hand can lead to death.
Shu Yan looked at it, and in the measuring cup, there was still one person's amount left.
The rain outside finally stopped, and Shu Yan and Cheng San went outside to collect some wild fruits and wild vegetables.
As soon as I went out, I saw a tall and thin teenager.
The young man had dark hair and cloudy eyes, and although he was extremely handsome, his face was sickly pale, and he looked like he was sick.
On top of that, the man had a sword at his waist.
He was carrying an extremely beautiful girl on his back, and these two people were not ordinary people at first glance. Shu Yan looked at the girl, only feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Cheng San immediately stood in front of Shu Yan vigilantly.
The girl glanced at Shu Yan.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
