Chapter 727: Letter to the Subjects of the Ming Dynasty
"Warmly welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to visit the Golden State Industrial Zone."
The banners hanging outside the walls of the factory have been dilapidated after a long period of wind and sun, and the various workshops in the factory are in production, and several workers carrying ladders have appeared on the empty road.
Upon this, the workers climbed the ladder, carefully removed the banner, and handed it over to the steward beside them.
The steward held the rolled banner, said hello to the workers and left.
"What will happen to this banner?"
The worker asked curiously.
"It's definitely not like the general banner processing, I guess it's going to be centralized."
Another worker speculated.
The three workers who had finished their work did not rush back to the department, and chatted here, but the matter could not be done.
The workers wore new I-shirts and leather boots on their feet.
Leather products have become the mainstream textile goods, in order to meet the needs of the Ming market, in addition to the south and north, even the seven western provinces are supplying leather to the interior, the caravan figure, has set foot in the deserted Far East.
In pursuit of the leather on the animals, the whole Far East was like a huge treasure pot, which eventually became the shoes on the workers' feet.
Leather shoes have become the signature wear of the working class, including the military, and are no longer just the goods of the upper classes, as opposed to the demand for leather goods, like a bottomless pit.
The merchants cooperated with a large number of local officials of the Nuer Gandu Division, and the young men of the Nuer Gan tribe went to the farther farther extreme cold regions to serve the caravan, hunting all the wild animals, and finally obtaining rations and wages from the caravan.
Every year in May, the Nuergan Railway began to be busy, at least in these months, it can ensure that the balance of income and expenditure is not a large loss.
In contrast.
Decades ago, the barren and sparsely populated Golden State has long since become one of the most prosperous cities.
Among the many emerging industries, medicine is the brightest pearl of the Golden State.
Because of historical reasons, the anatomy of the human body, and the discovery of human secrets, from orthopedics to trauma, medical skills have developed greatly, and Dr. Jinzhou has become the most famous group.
The first medical center, the first medical school, the first specialized hospital specializing in the treatment of trauma, and the first Golden State maternity hall for mothers.
Golden State's medical research and industrial promotion has become a demonstration base in the country.
Golden State Industrial Museum.
"In the Tang Dynasty, if a tailor cut his hand, he would apply a paste with green hair to the wound to help the wound heal, and this method of clay was found to be effective after a long period of research."
"This earthwork is the same effect as the monks of the temple in Beijing using green mold to cure diseases, although the production method is different, in fact, the prescription is of the same nature, indicating that this substance can be produced."
"Although it has been successfully refined, I believe that it will be successful in a long time."
Li Chengxian finished reading the technical report.
Not only is the audience of the technology newspaper more and more, but it is also becoming more and more segmented, no longer like the original hodgepodge, everything is packed into it.
I thought of an academic article on microworms that I had read before, and I learned that since ancient times, the ancestors had a good understanding of certain disease phenomena related to some invisible tiny substances, such as food spoilage, wound infection, etc.
Later, with the invention of the microscope, people did see microorganisms that could not be seen clearly with the naked eye, and according to the records of the imagination of the ancestors, they were called microworms.
But there are also scholars who oppose it.
Not only is the division of medicine more and more detailed, but even the technical newspapers have begun to be subdivided, and the rise of scholars from all walks of life has also made the discipline more detailed.
Li Chengxian began to get busy, and returned home in the evening, and the day after tomorrow was off.
There is a famous doctor in the workshop, even if it is an obstetrician, he is also very respected by the neighbors, and Li Chengxian is in his study, thinking of the idea that rises during the day, and he can't help but start writing.
"After years of work experience in my own hospital, I found that the proportion of deaths from puerperal fever is particularly high among women who have given birth, more than 100 to 5, and some wards are even as high as 10%."
"Although there is more and more experience in disinfection in the hospital, and it has achieved great results compared to the beginning, it has never been reduced over the years."
"Last year, I was invited by the Beijing Medical Center to go out to the capital to practice medicine and study for several months, and during these months, only the female nurse in the ward I was in charge of the Jinzhou Medical Center took care of the mother, and the maternal mortality rate actually dropped a lot."
"After my own exploration and speculation, I came to the conclusion that the maternal mortality rate is higher in the wards with the care of the doctor than in the wards with only the female passport, so I concluded that the doctor could not have brought the toxin to the patient."
"The patient has poisonous gases, and the doctor has been in contact with the patient all the year round, and the body is inevitably contaminated with poisonous gas, and these poisonous gases are transmitted to the mother through the doctor.
"After this conclusion, I conducted a long-term observation and found that the doctors who often participate in the dissection of my colleagues have a higher patient mortality rate in the wards they are responsible for."
"Referring to the theory of microworms, I think there is still a virus, strict hand washing, the use of alcohol can kill the virus, after half a year of persistence, the ward I am responsible for, the mortality rate of patients has become the lowest in the whole museum."
"Microworms, viruses, these invisible existences, are the culprits of disease, if we can find a way to eliminate these two, I believe that all diseases can be cured, that is, all diseases can be cured."
Jinzhou medicine is the most cutting-edge area of the Ming Dynasty, and the maternity hall where Li Chengxian is located is not just for pregnant women, so as the best doctor in the obstetric management, Li Chengxian's reputation is not small, otherwise the capital would not invite him to practice medicine and spread medical skills to the local area.
As soon as Li Chengxian's article was published, it attracted the attention of most of his peers, including the doctor who had studied green hair before, and he also carefully read Li Chengxian's masterpiece, combined with his own research experience, and felt that it was the same as what he had studied.
So he also published an article in which he also proposed the idea of illness caused by external invasion.
Li Chengxian proposed that the lack of disinfection links is the main reason for the high number of patients, and advocated disinfection, doctors should strictly abide by it, and form a medical center system.
Because the system promoted by Lee Sung-hyun was accepted by the entire medical center and changed the treatment system of the medical center, Lee Sung-hyun won the grand prize at the science and technology conference that year.
"Born in the first year of Yongle, Dr. Li Chengxian."
Hearing his name, Li Chengxian, who was in his early thirties, excitedly stepped onto the podium, and the newspaper sketcher stepped forward and sketched out the prototype of Li Chengxian's appearance in only a little time.
After printing by a new generation of printing machines, news with Lee Sung-hyun's image was sold nationwide through newspapers.
Seven years of Hongxi.
The annual science and technology conference is one of the most concerned activities in the whole Ming Dynasty.
Hong Xi nine years.
The main work was changed to the research direction, followed by Li Chengxian, who taught at Jinzhou Medical College, in the research room of Jinzhou Medical Center, because of the carelessness of the students, the petri dish was not clean, or it may be that the student ate snacks and fell into the dirty things, and when Li Chengxian came back from the capital, he found that there was mold in the petri dish.
The students were deeply disturbed, but the gentle Lee Sung-hyun did not scold, but warned his students not to be careless in the future.
Because there was no violent conflict, when the students were about to clean the petri dishes, they discovered a phenomenon, and the students told their instructors about the discovery in an inquiring mood.
Lee Sung-hyun saw that the moldy surroundings seemed to be dissolved in the petri dish, so he used a microscope to observe and finally found that the bacteria around the mold were all dead.
"Could it be some kind of mold secretion that kills the bacteria?"
The student speculated.
The student's words gave Li Chengxian a hint, and according to this direction, he quickly made a huge breakthrough.
An academic article titled "Moldy Fruit" appeared in the Technology Journal, and on the front page, the editor gave a special evaluation, Li Chengxian University subverted the great discovery of medicine!
Zhu Gaochi was also alarmed.
Combined with the various statements in the article, Zhu Gaochi believes that it is the penicillin of later generations.
Li Chengxian used penicillin as a topical medicine to smear wounds, although it had a certain effect, but the effect of penicillin was not fully exerted, and the most effective use of penicillin was to be used as an injection to transport it to internal tissues through blood circulation.
Let penicillin and bacteria be in full contact, and the effect of external use is not good, but the effect of internal use is a miracle drug.
Let's put it this way.
The widespread use of penicillin is the real reason for the huge extension of human life expectancy, and the other main reason is the satisfaction of food sources, which provide adequate nutrition for human beings.
The Ming society has achieved great success in the latter, but the former is still in the exploration stage.
If the former also achieved great success, then the population of the Ming Dynasty will enter an era of complete explosion, the old saying of knowing the destiny of heaven will also be completely changed, and the Ming society will enter the era of life expectancy of sixty or seventy years old.
Including the injuries and illnesses of the war, the mortality rate of soldiers has been greatly reduced, and the survival of veterans has brought about qualitative changes in the combat effectiveness of the army.
But Zhu Gaochi had no choice.
Penicillin is used internally, purification technology is very important, and the way of petri dish is not suitable for large-scale production, with the great progress of the first industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty, many technologies are no longer possible to break through casually.
Behind each technological breakthrough represents the progress of the system, and only with the progress of a large number of systems can there be a breakthrough in individual technologies.
For example, penicillin.
The discovery of penicillin, to the real purification, and industrial production, even during World War II, did not become popular, and it was only in modern times that it was a great success.
Zhu Gaochi made a decree and asked for all the support given to Li Chengxian's team.
Even His Majesty the Emperor was shocked, and many scholars were disgusted in their hearts, believing that the emperor was so old and afraid of death that he had such behavior, and that the development of science requires a scientific vision, and it is definitely not a matter for rulers to be ambitious.
But no matter what the scholars think, the support from the imperial court made Li Chengxian's team the most powerful scientific research team in the Ming Dynasty.
Countless funds, manpower, and force were invested in Li Chengxian.
The Jinzhou Industrial Zone set up a penicillin cultivation factory for Li Chengxian, and hundreds of workers were transferred to work on a simple job every day - penicillin cultivation.
What to do if there are not enough suitable containers, the Golden State Industrial Zone has specially produced a large number of containers.
The whole project was turned into a mold factory.
Workers in the industrial zone jokingly refer to the workers of the mold factory as mold workers.
From extraction to stabilization, and even the auxiliary invention of aqueous solution, countless research and investment, Li Chengxian, who is in his thirties, is under great pressure, and his hair has fallen out in just a few years.
At this time.
The news came that Zhu Gaochi was seriously ill.
People know that this is the emperor's poor health and rushed to the doctor.
"The previous emperor was afraid of death, so he begged the immortals to worship the Buddha, although the current emperor is great, he can not avoid vulgarity, but he is no longer superstitious, but he is superstitious about science, and science is not omnipotent."
"Whoever is not afraid of death can understand."
"Our emperor is great, loved by people all over the world, this one thing cannot affect his prestige, even if he knows that it is wrong, the court is willing to meet the emperor's wish, and even the people are willing to support the emperor."
"It's ridiculous."
People are discussing it in private.
Discussing the emperor is no longer taboo, there are more radical remarks in Xinxue, and the openness of society has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Lee Sung-hyun is in a dilemma.
With the discovery of mycin and research breakthroughs, internal use has become the direction of exploration, but the integration of mycin into the human body, even Li Chengxian has no bottom in his heart, it is too mysterious, how unreasonable is it to look at it this way.
In the end, Lee Sung-hyun's team used rats as the most targeted.
Fifty specially infected mice, twenty-five of which were injected with mycin and twenty-five without injection, resulted in the mice injected with mycin surviving and the mice that were not injected died.
The opposition from all over the world has become louder.
Injecting mycin into the human body is too unethical, and most of the people can't accept it, and even think that the emperor might as well go to the immortal and worship the Buddha.
People believe that the emperor is afraid of death, and the reason why he supports Li Chengxian is because of the fear of death.
Capital.
Fifty-seven-year-old Zhu Gaochi, amid the opposition of the imperial court, still summoned Li Chengxian.
Li Chengxian has become a traitor who everyone shouts and beats, and under great pressure, the bald Li Chengxian's eyes are sunken and he does not dare to look up at the emperor.
Zhu Gaochi smiled.
He never expected penicillin to treat himself.
Even if penicillin was successfully purified and even the injection was used, Zhu Gaochi did not count on penicillin, because the output of penicillin was only enough for experimental purposes and could not satisfy the human body.
Historically, Alexander was infected with the bacteria and was treated with penicillin for five days, but soon died because of insufficient penicillin production.
He is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and can use the power of the whole country to produce penicillin, but Zhu Gaochi will not make such a will.
First of all, my illness may not be cured, and when I am old, my physical foundation is not good.
Secondly, Zhu Gaochi was unwilling to set a precedent.
State weapons are not for private individuals.
Many virtuous monarchs in their youth, but in their later years, because of their own selfishness, not only became faint monarchs, but also plunged the country into a crisis and became sinners in the world.
Zhu Gaochi has already handed in excellent answers in his life, so he should not draw snakes.
I want to be the emperor of the world!
Zhu Gaochi gently told Li Chengxian that since the effect of the sucrose solution is not good, you can change it to other liquids, don't turn over the mistakes in experience, and only try in the refining method, but forget the groping of the materials.
Li Chengxian, who got the hint, suddenly realized that the next research direction was there.
In the end, he left the palace with doubts in his heart.
Did the emperor really support his experiments in order to save him?
Night.
Zhu Gaochi wrote an article by himself.
"Letter to the subjects of the Ming Dynasty."
The book looks forward to the future of the Ming Dynasty, and also worries about the various contradictions accumulated in the Ming society, as well as the expectations of the people. (End of chapter)
