Romanian Eagle

While Eder was using all the tools for Romanian nuclear research, another significant research experiment was also being carried out in Fokshani.

Tolboff hurried to the institute with a white coat in his hand and a piece of bread in his mouth. The time on his watch had reached 8:07.

I hope the professor doesn't come, or I'll be dead.

Tolboff, who was madly twisting in his heart, ran all the way. If it wasn't for his girlfriend last night, he wouldn't be up so late today. But whoever made him hadn't seen his girlfriend for almost a month, he couldn't hold back his youthful spirit.

But the professor wouldn't listen to himself. He hated being late. If you are found out, being scolded is not bad, but if you get stuck on your graduation thesis, it will be really uncomfortable.

Hurry up and finally came to the laboratory, and did not find the figure of the professor, which is really good news.

Tove, you're late today.

However, although the professor did not come, someone from the institute had already come.

Overslept. Brother Neil, you won't tell the professor.

The person who came was my senior brother, Neil senior brother who had graduated and was studying for graduate school. And Tolbov has a good relationship with this senior brother, so he hopes that this senior brother can cover for him.

And the senior said jokingly. Just say what you did last night and I'll let you go.

Tolbov thought about it and told the truth. My girlfriend is here.

I saw Neil blow a whistle. Oh, yes, I'll let you go for the sake of your honesty. Besides, I see you and your girlfriend having dinner at the latest, and I have a good eye.

Tolbov took out the key and opened the door of the storage room while asking his brother. What is Brother Neil going to take this time?

Take a petri dish from two months ago for research.

How many.

Give me a New Zealand potato and a Siberian tomato.

Please wait a moment, I'll bring it to you tomorrow night.

Tolboff immediately turned around and opened a door. This was the cultivation room, where penicillin was cultivated at a constant temperature. And there are racks lined up in the cultivation room, with signs standing on the racks, and soils from all continents are available here.

Because their professor Bolvin research found that penicillin was cultivated in different amounts in different soils. And it can reach up to 40 units per cubic centimeter, which is a remarkable improvement. At present, Fleming, who discovered and studied penicillin, also cultivated 2 units of penicillin per cubic centimeter. However, this is still a long way from industrialization.

This needs to be explained, Tolboff's job is to be responsible for the temperature of the incubation room and to record the data. As for the research on penicillin, it is completely out of hand.

New Zealand is here, potatoes... potatoes, here.

Tolboff, speaking to himself, took one from a row of petri dishes where potatoes were found on a shelf marked New Zealand.

Siberia... Siberia, this way, eh.

Tolboff took a Petri dish of Siberian tomatoes and found a Petri dish in the corner of the shelf,

The hyphae inside appeared to be unusually numerous.

This made him unable to resist reaching for it. Of course he knew about penicillin, the penicillin in this petri dish was completely incomparable to other petri dishes.

This makes Tolboff extremely happy, at least the professor can let him graduate smoothly. Thinking of this, Tolboff immediately took it out and walked out of the cultivation room with three petri dishes.

Without waiting for Senior Neil to speak, Tolboff immediately shouted to Senior Brother with this unusually conspicuous petri dish. Look, the penicillin in this petri dish is completely different from other petri dishes.

Neil had discovered an unusually conspicuous petri dish long ago. He had been dealing with penicillin for many years and initially estimated that it contained at least hundreds of units of penicillin per cubic centimeter.

However, this is only his own estimation, and the specific information will only be known after further inspection.

However, to continue to study this cup of penicillin, at least wait for the professor to do it in person. It's not that Neil can't study, but the respect for the team leader. So I saw Neil said excitedly. I'll call the professor right now, he must be crazy.

After speaking, Neil thought of something and continued to talk to Tolboff. You prepare the operation records of the past few months, I believe you will be able to use them later.

There, that petri dish is there.

Without letting them wait any longer, Professor Bolvin rushed into the laboratory.

Here, professor, see if there is more penicillin than in all our petri dishes before, and it's still several times larger.

Neil raised the petri dish like a treasure, which made Professor Bolvin feel a little thrilled. Put it down and wait for me.

Obviously, Professor Bolvin was more concerned about the safety of this petri dish than Neil's offering.

And Neil, who was startled by the professor's voice, quickly put it down, and there was still time for him to stabilize his hand and not cause the fall.

Professor Bolvin carefully held the petri dish with both hands, and walked quickly to the test area. Before leaving, he did not forget to say something to Tolboff. You did a good job, Tove. Give me your dissertation. I hope you can stay in the lab after graduation.

Hearing the professor's words, Tolboff was overjoyed. The professor not only hinted that his graduation thesis would pass smoothly, but also left himself a place in the laboratory. There is no better result than this.

Of course, it can be seen from Professor Bolvin's words that he is also very responsible to students, otherwise how can he tell what Tolboff needs.

Of course, what Bolvin needs for his students has a lot to do with the petri dish he is holding, but now he first needs to study how much penicillin is in this petri dish.

I saw him carefully placing the petri dish under the microscope, silently observing and recording.

On the other hand, Neil, who was waiting anxiously, looked at the teacher's expression cautiously, until his curiosity couldn't bear it any longer. Teacher, what's the result of the test?

The results were amazing. I found that this petri dish had 231 units of penicillin, far more than we had before.

In the face of his disciple's question, Professor Bolvin himself couldn't help but admire this amazing result. As the project leader, he knows best the importance of his research. He once visited Fleming, the inventor of penicillin, and he benefited a lot from his exchange of views.

As for the purification of penicillin, Professor Bolvin already has his own method. Fleming, the inventor of penicillin, wanted to extract penicillin from the solution. The biggest problem he encountered was that penicillin was unstable. Not only could he not be able to evaporate the water in the solution by heating, but he could not even store it at room temperature for long.

Professor Bolvin did the opposite. Instead of heating the penicillin solution, he froze the solution into a solid state, and then sublimated the water in the frozen solution by pumping out the air and reducing the air pressure.

This approach may seem inconceivable at first glance, but it is not difficult to understand. Place ice cubes in a closed environment at -20°C, pump out the air, and reduce the air pressure until the air pressure is lower than the gas phase curve, and the ice will be transformed into water vapor through sublimation and dissipated. This method of first freezing and then removing water through sublimation is called freeze-drying, or freeze-drying for short.

The only thing he lacks now is a way to produce penicillin on a large scale. Before, 40 units per square centimeter could not act on civilians at all, and it would only make penicillin a drug used by the upper classes. This is not Professor Bolvin's will. Although he produced mustard gas for Romania before, he stopped researching the killing thing in World War I, and now he is devoted to medicine. Fortunately, these years of research have finally come to fruition.

Professor Bolvin looked at the penicillin with joy in his eyes. There are already several ideas in mind, and this is a way to further cultivate the mother penicillin.

He was all too aware of the effects of penicillin, a great medicine that could change the world. A large number of diseases, including tuberculosis, will have a chance to be cured, and before these people can only wait to die. In addition, its treatment of a series of conditions of wound inflammation is also miraculous.
