Douluo: The Adventures of King Skin

"Setting up camp is the beginning of all plans."

——Gaius Marius

Doctors in this era were far from being well-trained. Most of them were either witch doctors who worked part-time as wizards, or they were medical enthusiasts like Desiachus and Stratton who were interested in medicine.

Although their skills are not high, all of them are very courageous in surgical operations. If they disagree with each other, they will have a craniotomy and a laparotomy - it is not the skills, but the fundamentals!

Of course, Pyrrhus could not watch them do evil to the wounded soldiers.Neither does the enemy's.

Instruct the aunts to set up a large pot to boil water and boil the prepared linen strips into it for disinfection.

Then a dozen tents were set up, and the wounded were sorted into different tents according to their injuries.

The problem came at this time, there was not enough alcohol.

The ancient Egyptians invented distillation technology very early, but they only used it to extract plant essences; later this method was spread to Greece, but the Greeks also used it to make sesame oils and perfumes.

Aristotle once used distillation to treat seawater and obtain fresh water that could be used.As his disciples, Desiacus and Stratton were no strangers to distillation. They had used distillation to purify various strange things before, including wine, but they had not discovered the medical value of alcohol.

Of course, according to the medical concepts of many places in ancient times, these extracted essential oils and perfumes are also good medicines that can cure all diseases.

Pyrrhus didn't dare to talk nonsense about whether it was good or not, but this thing definitely couldn't cure open trauma and heavy bleeding.

Pyrrhus brought a dozen large barrels of alcohol, all of which were ordered by perfumers in Athens.

If the alcohol content exceeds the upper limit, it will not be able to disinfect, but this content is not known; if the methanol content is high, it is highly toxic. Many fake wines will kill people and blind people because the methanol exceeds the standard, but this indicator is not known.Pyrrhus could only cross the river by feeling the stones in the spirit of 'something is better than nothing'.

But even this kind of three-free alcohol is not enough now - the casualties are really much more serious than he expected!

Those with severe bleeding and disembowelment are basically the ones in the most urgent need of treatment.The former requires cautery to stop the bleeding quickly, while the latter requires suturing the wound. The technical content is not high, even an aunt can do it, but both require alcohol debridement and disinfection.

There are also open traumas and open fractures. There are many of these, and tendons and bones have to be sutured. These are the things that Lucian's talented people were born with, and they also need to be disinfected.

There are still a lot of stab wounds and cuts that need to be disinfected!

In addition, there are many things, including suturing internal organs and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which people like Desiachus don’t understand. Pyrrhus is half a bucket of water but has some high school biology basics, so he can only bite the bullet and fumble for it. They demonstrate.

When his hands were finally free, the leading party from Philais arrived and had been waiting for him for a long time. Pyrrhus cordially received them...

There are no big nobles in Philais who stick to their word - all those before Jason of Philais were razed by him, and after him his own family was almost cut off - the existing ones are basically small military nobles and big landowners. , big businessman.

When they came to Pyrrhus, they were all very anxious.

When the Greeks fight, it doesn't matter who wins or loses. As a rule, they have to grab one.

And the man in front of him had just wiped out an army of [-] men with fewer attacks. If he or his men had any thoughts about the wealth in Feilai City, could they still have the strength to resist?

Now they just hope that this matter can be resolved peacefully. If they want money, they will provide money, if they want women, they will provide women, and if they want men, it is not impossible. There is no need to make it bloody and stubble, and good things will turn into bad things.

Speaking of which, it can be said that they are full of hope for Pyrrhus. After all, after the overwhelming publicity in the early stage, he has a great reputation and a good talk. Zenas also praised him as a savior before;

But on the other hand, they also know that there will be no pie in the sky, but they just don’t know what the savior wants and how much he wants.

The two sides talked a lot of nonsense, but Pyrrhus got a lot of important information.

——For example, Pharsalus has been captured by Hippias and the others, and Larissa has now jumped back.

As for the purpose of these people's coming, Pyrrhus did not speak loudly. He just made a high-profile statement, saying that "Philai and most of the surrounding areas are free" and hoped that they would organize a popular meeting as soon as possible and start the process of self-government.

It’s not that he doesn’t have ideas, but with his current reputation, if he talks directly to the people, the people are basically obedient. Isn’t it a hundred times better than passing the message through local snakes who have too many ideas and letting them get through?

But there are also urgent needs.He told them that they needed a doctor and pure wine, as well as tools for distilling.

The benevolent people of Feilai were almost in tears after hearing this——

What a good man!

A foreigner, without any self-interested motives, regards the liberation of the people of Thessaly as his own cause. What kind of spirit is this?

I told you earlier, wasn’t he a doctor?This is so good, here you go!

Want some wine?Give me your pick!

What kind of 'distillation tool' is there? We don't know what it is?Let me give you some bronzes, big ones, valuable ones!

There are quite a few doctors, but Pyrrhus doesn't trust them - the quack doctors these days are far more weird than people imagine - he'd better let them help first and train them slowly.

Although there are currently no distilling tools, there is so much good wine that can serve as a little anesthetic for the seriously injured.

Healing an injury takes more than a day or two, and it will be used in the future. Pyrrhus selected a few large ones from a pile of strange copper utensils sent to prepare a homemade distillation and condensation equipment.

At this time, the emergency response to the seriously injured people also came to an end. He called the two intellectual leaders and the coppersmith and blacksmith to work together to design this simple distillation furnace.

The most important thing about distillation is separation.

Different liquids evaporate and boil at different temperatures, but it is difficult to operate using this principle.So the simplest way is to make a separator high enough so that various components such as alcohol and water can gather and condense at different heights.Pyrrhus briefly explained to them the principle of air cooling, heat dissipation and condensation.

So Deciacus and Stratton led people to start making prototypes overnight. After a whole day of repeated modifications and trials the next day, they finally formed a rough extraction process and summarized the operating procedures.

Desiacus also wanted to further optimize the process, but Stratton was more open-minded and told him that this was not necessary.By connecting two condensation silos that are as tall as one person in series, he can extract relatively qualified alcohol at once.

Then Pyrrhus came up with an idea - with current technology, it is difficult to unify the quality of raw wine and fuel. He simply fixed this set of equipment on a high-wheeled large truck, so that it can be adjusted according to the production situation at any time. Adjusting the angle is equivalent to controlling the height of the condensation silo in disguise!

When the finished product was assembled, Pyrrhus was a little impressed with himself.

——The technical content comes second, the main thing is that this thing is really cool!
