"Expected."

Meantime.

Taihang base.

"Even for Americans, it would take a year and a half before penicillin could be produced on a large scale."

"And the quality is far worse than ours."

"As for meeting the demand, it will take at least two and a half years."

Dean Liu's tone was smug.

Penicillin is a good thing.

Together with the accompanying medicines, the survival rate of the wounded in the unit has increased fivefold.

It's five times as much.

And that's not counting the seriously wounded of the Separate Regiment who were picked up.

It's October '40, and in fact, it's been 43 years since the United States was able to produce penicillin on a large scale, and it took 44 years to supply it to the army on a very large scale.

After all

The current chemical technology is very poor.

"A year and a half."

The chief of staff touched his chin.

"And."

Dean Liu smiled:

"Even if it is boldly estimated that the Americans will promote research regardless of the cost, by four years, the annual output of Americans will be at most 10 trillion units, and will not exceed 15 trillion."

"It's a little little..."

The division commander smacked his tongue suddenly.

Ten trillion units a year,

Sounds like a lot, a lot.

But with 5 million units per bottle, Americans can only produce 2 million bottles a year.

You know, the Independent Regiment can release five million bottles every month.

Li Yunlong even let out the words, if needed, he can get 100 million bottles a month, or even more.

As long as it is not a weapon, the boss behind Li Yunlong seems to be extraordinarily generous.

"But isn't there enough medicine?"

The Deputy General Staff asked suspiciously.

Ten trillion units a year,

Based on the current calculation of 200,000 units to treat one wounded person, and 5 million units to treat one seriously injured person, it is enough to treat millions of people.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Dean Liu smiled proudly, his demeanor and tone were almost the same as Li Yunlong's, and he said:

"Ten trillion units now, it's really enough."

"But there are still more than three years."

"More than three years?"

The crowd was puzzled.

"Penicillin is an antibiotic."

"And antibiotics, according to the medical books that Li Yunlong got from there, after a long period of use, bacteria will become resistant."

Dean Liu continued to explain.

"Antimicrobial resistance?"

Everyone vaguely guessed something.

"Yes, drug resistance."

Dean Liu patiently explained:

"Everyone knows that wound infection is caused by bacteria entering the wound and multiplying."

"And penicillin can easily kill these bacteria."

"However, penicillin can't kill all of these bacteria, there are always some bacteria that will survive, but once the bacteria are reduced, the body's immune function can destroy and inhibit these bacteria."

"The essence of infection is that the body's immune system is unable to cope with a large number of bacteria."

"And these bacteria that survive develop resistance to penicillin."

"These bacteria, the next time they encounter penicillin, although they will still be killed, they will need a higher concentration, and then even if the concentration is increased, there will still be a certain amount of bacteria surviving."

"This part will also be solved by the body's immune system."

"As a result, it creates a situation where penicillin has to be used more and more as the bacteria survive from generation to generation."

"According to my observations, at present, the wounded who are injured for the second time, or even the first time, even if they are lightly injured, need 500,000 units for a single person to effectively treat the infection, and seriously injured, even 20 million or even 30 million units, to be effectively treated." (The plot needs it, it's blind)

"Shhh

Hearing this, everyone took a breath of cool air.

"One more point."

"Our penicillin is not only higher in unit density, but also higher in purity."

"After using our penicillin, and then using other penicillins that are not of high purity, the actual dosage needs to be increased tenfold."

Dean Liu's tone became more and more proud.

"Shhh

The crowd took another breath of cold air.

The people who participated in this meeting were all a group of old yin goods, and there was no need to say more, everyone already understood what Dean Liu meant.

The base area exports penicillin, earns a lot of profit, no, it should be said that it seems to be profitable.

Super profiteering.

Even if you don't bargain, at $300 a bottle, it's $30 million a month.

It's a complete profit.

After all, these penicillins were brought by Li Yunlong, and they didn't spend a penny.

actual cost,

Including transportation and security, personnel, will not exceed 100,000, or new Hebei southern currency.

Foreign countries will definitely be blushing and will definitely be suppressed.

But well.

Absolute technological superiority cannot be suppressed.

You don't even have a replacement, and now you can only produce a small part through the laboratory, even if it is reduced by a hundred times.

What do you take to block?

As for the future.

A year and a half or even two years later, foreign production capacity came up.

After getting used to the good things, can you still use your own rotten things?

And

In two years, there is enough penicillin for its own family to spread all over the world.

In the face of powerful bacteria, can penicillin, which is not of high purity and has many impurities, withstand it?

"So, don't you keep increasing the amount of penicillin?"

The Deputy General Staff asked worriedly.

Although our own penicillin is highly pure, it cannot tolerate repeated resistance of bacteria.

"It's a simple question."

"Penicillin is a spectral antibacterial drug with a wide range of antibacterial, but it is also easy to develop drug resistance, so for some special bacteria, bacteria that can resist penicillin, other antibiotics are used."

"Cephalosporin, monocyclic and so on."

"Even special antibiotics."

"Or, develop stronger antibiotics, such as vancomycin."

"And Li Yunlong has all of these."

Dean Liu touched his chin:

"So, next, we just need to increase the investment in penicillin in foreign markets."

"Haha..."

In the conference room, everyone suddenly laughed.

This feeling of absolute superiority is so comfortable.

···

Following.

Ze County.

"Mr. George Galvin."

The staff said to George Galvin, who hurried to the base again to purchase penicillin:

"In order to thank you for your contribution to the development of our base area, it was you who provided us with the first batch of military equipment."

"So, with the special approval of the superiors, I will give you 20,000 sticks of penicillin."

"Twenty thousand penicillins."

George Galvin of a merchant family never believed in so-called friendship,

In his opinion, everything is for the sake of profit.

"Need my help?"

George Galvin asked.

"We have some people who need to use your passage to return to China, and this group of people has been noticed by the Milley government."

The staff replied.

With the strength of the base areas, more and more talented people are willing to return to China.

In particular, the troops killed the old devils of Watanabe, showed the strength of the air force, and began to vigorously develop industry and collect talents, but the problem is that although the devils opened up machinery and equipment to come in, they grasped talents very tightly.

Today, there are about 150 talented people in the United States who want to return to China, and many of them are elite talents.

There are more than 300 follow-up people, and it is expected to leave next year.

The second batch of base areas has a way,

But in the first batch, you can only ask for help.

"No problem."

George Galvin agreed.

20,000 sticks of penicillin, calculated at $300 each, that's $6 million, and a standard small 10,000-ton ship is no more than this price.

With his abundant funds, and the effects of penicillin,

The influence in the United States is also increasing day by day, with only 150 people, easily.

"That's right."

The staff member also said:

"Thanks to the smooth expansion of the factory, we currently supply 300,000 bottles of penicillin every month, and if we purchase it on a large scale, 10,000 bottles can be as low as 800 New Guineans."

"Three hundred thousand bottles."

George Galvin's eyes flashed.

100,000 bottles a month, the United States can digest it, it is not enough.

300,000 bottles.

Then you have to add the UK, and even Europe.

And according to what he knows,

The Ministry of Health has classified imported penicillin as unsafe drugs, and insurance companies will not pay for drugs that have not been approved, and the consequences will not be compensated.

Although this prohibition is meaningless.

does not affect in the slightest, those big hospitals, the big tycoons hoarding penicillin,

After all, there is only one medicine that can treat serious infections and prevent almost all infections, and the rest, even in laboratories, can only be prepared in small batches.

Industrial mass production for at least one year.

But it has a great impact on ordinary people.

But now, the price of Balu has been reduced to 800 New Guinea dollars a bottle, that is, it has been reduced to one-third, and it is only 100 US dollars a bottle.

In other words, the Eighth Route Army intends to lower prices and completely occupy the market.

And with the second batch of penicillin entering the market, the reputation of the patients who were treated and discharged from the hospital has been completely spread by word of mouth, and now the government can no longer suppress it.

One hundred dollars a bottle.

One bottle can be used by three or four patients.

Even if he sells a bottle for $300 in the United States, twice the net profit, ordinary Americans can grit their teeth.

I don't think it will be lowered in the future.

"I buy 180,000 bottles."

George Galvin came prepared this time.

He prepared eighteen million dollars in funding.

···

Meanwhile.

Yang Village.

"This cooperation is exciting!"

Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang looked at the contract in his hand and couldn't help but be speechless.

The latest cooperation of the boss of labor and management,

After making a public statement, within a month, the commander of the North China Front, Tada Jun, was killed!

"Tada!"

Li Yunlong's eyes were murderous.

Tada Jun, an old devil, came up with the cage tactics, but it caused a lot of difficulties to the base area, and he had a lot of blood debts.

Countless ordinary people have fallen under the blockade.

"Blood debt and blood payment!"

Zhao Gang's eyes were burning and murderous.

"Tada Jun, this old devil is really valuable."

Li Yunlong then smiled.

"Indeed."

Zhao Gang couldn't help but nodded.

The contract clearly stated that after the troops killed Tadajun, Boss Lu would provide twenty tons of gold to the Independent Regiment every month.

"Gold!"

At this moment, Zhao Gang was not worried about the depreciation of the silver dollar at all.

Don't want silver?

You always want gold!

This is the real hard currency, the anchor of the world's currency. (End of chapter)
