Chapter 391: Observing the Micro Means Can Manifest Things

"Doctor Zhang, if it's okay, I'll go."

Pang Tong urged.

Zhang Zhongjing carefully observed the garlic essence in the transparent glass bottle by the light of day, until he heard Pang Tong's urging, he reluctantly looked away, nodded and said:

"It's time to try the power of this thing."

After that, Zhang Zhongjing turned around and shouted twice into the room, and soon several disciples came out to stand behind Zhang Zhongjing, each holding a small clay pot in their arms.

A rather pungent smell of garlic emanated from the jars and from the room behind them.

"The allicin produced this time is all here."

"Garlic essence is a little easier to make, but it is extremely difficult to store, and it must be used up within half a day."

Perhaps because of the presence of his disciples, Zhang Zhongjing's words were vague, but Pang Tong Kong Ming understood the meaning.

Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of this allicin, later generations have made it very clear when they talked casually before.

Compared with the antibiotic, this substance is quite easy to prepare, which is an advantage.

The effective time is only half a day, and it is difficult to survive in case of trouble, which is a shortcoming.

Therefore, Pang Tong didn't say much, and directly stretched out his hand and said:

"The carriage is already waiting, and Doctor Zhang will come with me."

So the group quickly got into the carriage and marched towards the south of Chang'an in the light of snow.

Sitting in the carriage, Pang Tong glanced at the glass bottle that was tightly held in Zhang Zhongjing's arms, and his heart was suddenly itchy.

Whether it was the transparent and beautiful glass bottle, or the medicine in the bottle that was made in later generations to help the Tang Dynasty, it all made him itch and wanted to play with it in his hand.

Zhang Zhongjing didn't think about it so much, and took the initiative to confirm with Pang Tong:

"What is the situation of the swine fever in the south of the city at this time?"

Speaking of business, Pang Tong's expression became a little more serious, and he said:

"Earlier today, there were more than 800 infected pigs alive, and more than 1,000 pigs were in the same pen as the plagued pigs."

Zhang Zhongjing nodded, sighed lightly and said:

"The only way to do this now is to rely on this thing to solve the plague of profit, otherwise it will ......"

Otherwise, Zhang Zhongjing didn't say anything, but now that the New Year is in front of him, if it can't be solved, I'm afraid that the New Year will be overshadowed.

After the light curtain ended three months ago, seeing the terrifying description of "the water is salty and brine" recorded by later generations, Liu Bei and the military advisors moved for the first time.

As for the rectification of health in Chang'an, it can be said that a lot of effort has been spent in the past three months.

It is strictly forbidden to dump dirt at will, and it is also forbidden to dig and bury the dirt or dump it into dry wells.

However, since it is forbidden to dump these filths at will, it is necessary to have a reasonable place, and finally the temporary trial is to dig toilets in every street for civilian use.

These filthy things were collected by hand into a huge pit dug in the south of the city, where Kong Ming used it to study the method of new manure and save it for the next year's fertile fields.

In addition, in terms of how to deal with these filthy things, Xuande Gong also referred to the "integration of toilets" that had just been criticized by the juniors a few days ago, and specially collected nearly 2,000 pigs from Guanzhong in Hanzhong, wanting to shepherd in the south of the city to solve this filth problem.

After watching this issue of the light curtain, it is not feasible to feed the pigs with sewage evil substances, but before Liu Bei and others can find time to plan a new place for these pigs, they were caught off guard by the plague that broke out among the pigs.

Later generations talked about the suspicion of epidemic disease in large-scale group breeding, but they did not expect this epidemic to come so quickly.

The people in the south of the city don't know anything about veterinary diseases, but simply call these animal diseases that can be passed down from pig to pig as swine fever.

In this case, Zhang Zhongjing became the busiest person.

First of all, he went to the south of the city to check on the sick pigs and found out that the pigs were infected with the disease of Xiali, that is, they had diarrhea like a human.

Then he made the decision to separate the pigs into pens, and the pig herders were also placed on the spot and were not allowed to return to the city for the time being, so as not to bring the epidemic into the city.

The next step is to find a way to eradicate the disease, and now there are only two options: kill or cure.

If someone suffers from this disease, the mild ones only need a dose of pulsatilla soup to cure the disease, and the serious ones can only do their best to obey the destiny of heaven.

Previously, when he was studying poultry and livestock in later generations, Zhang Zhongjing also tried the reverse and used the decoction used by people to treat livestock, and the final conclusion was that it was useful but not completely useful.

So in the end, Zhang Zhongjing reported and Liu Bei's solution was very simple:

Diluted pulsatilla soup was used to alleviate the symptoms of swine fever, and then allicin was prepared with all efforts.

If it succeeds, then this epidemic is the best whetstone for drug testing.

If not, it is not too late to kill all the plagued pigs.

So in the end, with Liu Bei's approval and with the full help of Kong Ming Pangtong, the garlic juice was distilled as much as possible, and the prepared garlic essence was cherished by Zhang Zhongjing and his disciples.

Hearing Zhang Zhongjing's sigh, Kong Ming and Pang Tong sighed lightly at the same time, and then all that could be heard in the carriage was the squeak of the wheels.

After an unknown amount of time, the creaking stopped, and the driver in front said:

"Divine doctor, military advisor, ahead is the pig herding supervisor."

Several people got out of the car in turn, Pang Tong blocked the thin snow with his sleeves, looked at the three words of the pig herding prison written by the lord himself, and said with a smile:

"Xuande Gong has a grand plan to buy pigs, but he has no choice but to ......"

Saying that, Pang Tong shook his head with a smile, turned his head and said:

"What is the outcome of Xuandegong's pig herding, it depends on what Doctor Zhang does."

Zhang Zhongjing's face was tense, and without saying a word, he took the lead with his disciples, and Kong Ming and Pang Tong hurriedly followed.

Kong Ming visited the first place to set up a pig herding prison, and the sight of thousands of pigs galloping at that time is now gone, and the black dolphins in sight are lying on the ground covered with straw, and can only confirm from the occasional flicking of their tails that most of these pigs are still alive.

Under such special circumstances, Zhang Zhongjing's prestige here far exceeds that of Kong Ming and Pang Tong.

The pig supervisor who can already be called a doctor in a hurry can no longer care whether Doctor Zhang has the name of a doctor by treating people or animals, but he does not obey what Zhang Zhongjing said.

Following Zhang Zhongjing's command, a bowl of pulsatilla soup that had been diluted a lot was placed in front of him, and then he and his disciples carefully dripped the garlic-flavored pungent essence into the bowl.

The amount of essence in each bowl is different, and recorded separately, and the pigs fed in the end are also recorded separately, and then the disciples under the teacher's strong order, even if they muttered in their hearts, they could only forcibly recall the essentials when treating people, and endure the smell of baking and regularly record the changes in the symptoms of the pig.

"In terms of half a day, the effective time of this substance is three hours, and in terms of medicinal properties, it needs to be used up within two hours."

Zhang Zhongjing stood to the side, his eyes did not fluctuate at all, and said to himself:

"About one moment from the time this essence is produced to the time it is sent here, then you can limit it to an hour and see its effect."

Kong Ming and Pang Tong nodded, feeling very reasonable.

Seeing the serious appearance of the two military advisors and a divine doctor, the others didn't dare to say much, so they could only perform their own duties, and hoped from the bottom of their hearts that this thing would be useful.

At this moment, the original pig herding supervisor could only hear the weak humming of the sick pigs.

The time limit set by Zhang Zhongjing was one hour, but only half an hour had passed, and a disciple exclaimed:

"This pig...... Breathless. ”

Kong Ming Pang Tong was taken aback, and the two of them stepped on the mud that was frozen hard like dry cow dung to take a closer look, and the black pig in front of them really didn't move, and the medical disciple next to him said carefully:

"This animal has about two taels of essence, and it seems to be struggling before it dies, but it is no longer powerless to ......be tortured by the plague."

Pang Tong suddenly couldn't laugh anymore, and Kong Ming explained in a low voice:

"Or due to overdose...... If the essence reacts accordingly, it can show that this object is really effective. ”

Zhang Zhongjing nodded approvingly on the side:

"What Zhuge Junshi said is not wrong, even if he is angry, it is better than not reacting at all."

Pang Tong nodded, and then he was relieved.

Fortunately, the next development is just as Zhang Zhongjing predicted, and when an hour comes, two pigs can already staggered up to graze, although they are still sick, but at least they can see that the symptoms have been greatly alleviated.

Zhang Zhongjing was busy again at this time, and while refilling the medicine according to the amount of essence taken by the two black pigs with the most obvious effects, he did not forget to turn his head and explain to Kong Ming Pangtong:

"I'm tired of the two military advisors, and I went back to Chang'an to inform the distillation pharmacy that the essence must be prepared non-stop, and they are all sent here."

Kong Ming finally had a smile on his face, and asked with a big smile:

"How effective is this essence?"

Zhang Zhongjing, who had a tense face from beginning to end, had a smile on his face at this moment, and said loudly:

"It can be called a miracle medicine, not out of tonight, it can eliminate the evils of the epidemic, and when the next year goes out of Chang'an, the soldiers will be infected with dampness and heat, and they should be worry-free!"

Kong Ming arched his arch and laughed: "Liang, obey the divine doctor's order!" ”

He also knew that he couldn't help much here, even if he led Pang Tong back, he planned to do what Doctor Zhang explained, and by the way, he could go to the Lord to report the good news.

Kong Ming himself can drive, so he simply sat on the wheel with Pang on the return trip, and asked the coachman to stay and help Doctor Zhang, after all, it is a big job to treat a thousand pigs next.

Holding the reins and the whip in hand, Kong Ming imagined while driving the car:

"If this thing can be achieved, most of the symptoms of the plague and poison may be solved."

"Eliminate the epidemic, cut off typhoid fever, Zhang Shenyi's ambition may really be successful!"

Speaking of which, Kong Ming chattered excitedly and talked to Pang Tong about his various speculations.

For example, the theory of "microcosm" and "microorganisms" in later generations is that animals exist in sizes that are invisible to the naked eye?

Since this substance is afraid of antibiotics such as allicin, is it caused by such animals that are invisible to the naked eye?

After talking with great interest for a long time and not responding, Kong Ming turned his head and saw that Pang Tong's expression flickered a little, so he simply asked:

"What did Shi Yuan think of?"

Pang Tong hesitated for a moment, but finally shook his head and said

"I was thinking just now, if there was such a thing, Zhou Gongjin might not have ...... it at the beginning."

Kong Ming was silent, although his ambitions were different, but he also knew that his untimely death was a death, so he could only shake his head and say in the end:

"Zhou Gongjin is not the first and by no means the last of those who have died early due to undetectable diseases throughout the ages."

These words suddenly reminded Pang Tong of his own way of death, so he shook his head and dispelled the figure and said in a low voice:

"At least now Xuande Gong has the blessing of this thing, and he is very lucky."

Kong Ming nodded in agreement.

After the two drove into the city, they passed an intersection and saw the Zhang He arguing with the guards with excited expressions, so they simply approached to see what was going on.

Before anyone arrived, the voice from there came:

“… As I said, this lamp really fell from the sky, and it must be the lamp of the heavenly court! How not to repay General Zuo? ”

"General Zhang, this matter has been recorded."

"This is auspicious, you understand?! If there is a sky lantern later, who will be held responsible for General Zuo's blame? ”

"General Zhang, don't worry, this matter has been written down carefully."

……

Kong Ming's expression remained unchanged, and with a quick flick of the reins, the horse turned around in the direction of the guide and leaned back to the right path.

Pang Tong snorted:

"How is the snow getting bigger and bigger?"

Kong Ming bowed his head slightly in agreement, as if nothing had happened, and then continued with his previous conjecture:

"The microscopic concept reminds me of the telescope that can show the scenery miles away."

Pang Tong nodded and said:

"That telescope is indeed magical, if you can understand the reason and follow the traces and deduce, you may be able to see the heavens and stars from a hundred miles away in the future."

There are many things that can make Pang Tong remember deeply in Chang'an this year, such as the victory in Guanzhong, such as the capture of Xiahou Yuan, such as the scenery of the later world, such as the cement that is easy to become hard after the system.

But the most important thing is to see Lu Zijing, and the second is to play with the telescope sent from Chengdu.

A simple and inconspicuous lens barrel can present the blurred scenery thousands of steps away in front of you in detail, which really interprets the phrase "gentleman is good at fake things" clearly.

Kong Ming nodded in approval, and then said:

"Now that I see Dr. Zhang using antibiotics to eradicate the epidemic, I think of this microscopic theory again, I wonder if if I can make a microscopic mirror if I reverse the way of this telescope?"

Pang Tong followed Kong Ming's description, and was suddenly a little fascinated, and finally said:

"The opposite may not be possible, and then there will be a mirror to observe microscopic objects!"

"After the mirror workshop moves to Chang'an, I will definitely give it a try!"

The telescope sent to Chang'an was of great importance, and it was foreseeable that it would shine in the future, so the decision to move the mirror workshop to Chang'an was finally decided.

Kong Ming nodded, and then stuffed the horsewhip and reins into Pang Tong's hand:

"That being the case, the main office asked Shi Yuan to do it for him, and Liang should go to Taixue."

Pang Tong nodded and agreed, looking at Kong Ming's back and not wanting to poke it:

Most of them had the idea of this mirror of microscopic objects in their hearts, and they couldn't wait, but Pang Tong knew that there were a few simple workshops built by Kong Ming in Taixue now.

Tugging on the reins to let the horse continue to walk, Pang Tong's mind was already full of thoughts.

This microscopic mirror is quite awkward to say, it is better to imitate the telescope and call it a microscope.

I hope that Kong Ming's idea of "going the opposite way" can go well, Pang Tong sincerely hopes so.

The lord is simple, this allicin can relieve the plague, and most likely it can make Xuande Gong ecstatic, right?

In addition, the news of the coal in Naqi County is mostly necessary to work with Xuande Gong to plan a channel to transport coal with cement and wooden rails.

However, in this way, most of this county will have to change its name, so why don't you call it a coal official?
