doctor knife in hand

Lu Jin first bowed deeply to the prince with his back to the people, then bowed to the ministers on both sides, and finally bowed facing the people, and then he kept facing the people.

He looked at the strange faces in the audience with various expressions, but his eyes were all fixed on him.

Lu Jin took a deep breath and said: "I remember that it has been [-] days since Dilong turned around. For the entire [-] days, I haven't had a peaceful sleep. It's not just me, all the doctors who are fighting on the front line, Neither the doctors nor the soldiers closed their eyes properly. Oh, the only time was the rainstorm after Dilong turned over. On the night when I went back to the British government to search for materials for penicillin production, the old housekeeper in the mansion couldn’t bear it, so he gave me After being drugged, it was the only time that I had no dreams until dawn."

Lu Jin said it in a joking tone, but because of this, everyone can feel the sadness and helplessness in it, and the eyes can't help showing distress.

"I mentioned the word penicillin. You must be wondering what it is. It is the drug that you are most concerned about and most looking forward to against the disease."

As soon as Lu Jin said this, he affirmed the existence of anti-epidemic drugs, and the expressions of the people were instantly lifted.

"Why I named it this way, as long as you have seen or known the edict and list issued by the imperial court, you will understand that the first thing on the list of raw materials is Penicillium. Its source is very simple, rotten fruit, moldy food with green hairs on it That's it."

It turned out to be the case, and everyone couldn't help but looked at each other.

Someone suddenly boldly asked: "Wouldn't the green hair make you sick if you eat it? How to cure it?"

Everyone looked closely, but it was a young man dressed as a scholar. Lu Jin recognized him as the scholar Yu, who had been a volunteer for asthma medicine.

He looked at Lu Jin with bright eyes.

Lu Jin smiled slightly and said, "Eating penicillium directly into the mouth will naturally cause physical discomfort, because it contains toxins. By the way, what produces this toxin is an area that no one knows."

Lu Jin turned around and picked up a Penicillium Petri dish from the table. The white hairs on it were covered with fog, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"It's just a bit of green hair taken from a rotten orange and placed on this container. After seven days of cultivation, it has become what it is today." He showed the petri dish outward for a week, "No one has touched it, A little bit of green hair has grown into a white cloud covering the entire surface. You can imagine that the Penicillium is actually alive and they are growing. Why they are called because it is densely packed with thousands of invisible tiny Penicillium Gather together and grow together, you can imagine it as a honeycomb, but it is magnified tens of thousands of times."

Arriving here, people's expressions have begun to be confused, and they can't quite understand.But the word alive is clear, and staring at the white hair, thinking of the beehive, it's creepy, alive?

"Penicillium is alive, just like the five poisons that produce toxins, they also produce toxins, so people will get sick if they eat them directly. While producing toxins, they also secrete another substance that does not respond to the human body, but is resistant to diseases , is the penicillin I need, and I need to fight the disease.”

"Why, why is it okay for people, but can overcome the disease?" Scholar Yu swallowed, he felt a little dizzy, and everyone else was also dizzy.

Lu Jin replied: "This is related to what the epidemic is, what causes the disease, and why the infection is so severe."

"Yes, yes..." Someone was already panicking.

Lu Jin simply leaned on the table, let himself relax, and said as usual: "Don't worry, listen to me slowly. Penicillium is too small to be seen individually, but there are many such invisible tiny creatures in the world. A type of Penicillium, and there are other different types. One of the bacteria that causes the epidemic is one of the bacteria. This bacteria absorbs nutrients from rotting corpses and reproduces very fast. Local people will naturally carry the disease germs to infect people everywhere, coupled with the rain washing into the water source, drinking raw water directly will also eat the germs into the body, so that people are passed on, and the whole city is infected within a few days. This is why The prevention of epidemics we advocate is to prohibit the consumption of raw water, wash hands frequently, clean the surroundings, dispose of filth, and burn dead bodies.”

"Oh..." It seemed very reasonable, everyone nodded at the same time, but after nodding, they found that they didn't know what the other party said.

Lu Jin's words can be understood separately, but together they are blurred.

Everyone, when you look at me and I look at you, you can see the word "confusion" in each other's eyes.

Now even the scholars can't calm down, they always feel that they don't read too much.

Looking at the group of officials and lords again, all of them lowered their eyebrows, stroked their beards, and seemed to be thinking, but they were all silent and there was no comment, which revealed a strange feeling.

The prince secretly glanced left and right, seeing this scene, he immediately felt relieved.

Hanlin, who claims to have broken ten thousand volumes of books, also meditated, so it is not because he is stupid.

Lu Jin's image suddenly became unpredictable.

"This kind of bacteria, except for high-temperature incineration, ordinary medicines are useless to them, but everything grows and restrains each other, and there is always something that can deal with it. This is the penicillin produced from Penicillium, which is just able to restrain the epidemic bacteria. In addition to the epidemic bacteria , and the most common sword wounds, the continuous pus and inflammation on the broken opening can also be treated with penicillin, so it is still a special medicine on the battlefield.”

Lu Jin changed his posture leisurely, "I first tried to extract penicillin because I wanted to use it on the battlefield to save more soldiers from wound ulceration and reduce infection and death. Unexpectedly, it was because of the epidemic that I had to try my best to develop it. , luckily I succeeded."

Lu Jin's eyes slowly swept away, and he smiled slightly. He didn't expect anyone here to understand his explanation. He said this just to let everyone know that he knew a lot about the epidemic. Penicillin can treat blight.It doesn't matter if you don't understand, as long as Doctor Lu understands.

"Okay, everyone wants to know how this penicillin is extracted from Penicillium. I will demonstrate it on the spot. Its steps are different from ordinary pharmaceuticals. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it. It's right to gain insight."

Lu Jin walked around behind the desk as she spoke, preparing for a medical experiment class.

This is on-site pharmacy!No matter what he said before, everyone here is staring at him intently.

Lu Jin is already very familiar with the method of extracting penicillin, and has explained it to his apprentices and several doctors many times. This time, the number of audience is larger and the education level is uneven.

However, bachelors who have read poetry and books and peddlers in the market are blank about this completely unfamiliar medical field, and it doesn't matter whether they are educated or not.

Before using the utensils and raw materials on the table, Lu Jin would introduce and explain their uses. It can be described as detailed. It's all normal.

This is like an elementary school student sitting in a university high mathematics class and listening to a section of calculus taught by a famous teacher. Apart from a confused look, there is only a heart full of "Wow, that's amazing"!

What he was talking about was too profound to know, but he just felt awe-inspiring.

But even if they don't know, those who are interested are silently recording Lu Jin's steps. Lu Jin explained in too much detail, what is used in each step, and how to do it.

Just follow his steps and imitate well one step at a time, it seems that this penicillin can also be produced.

When Lu Jin finally opened the wooden stopper under the porcelain tube to let the penicillin solution flow down, he said, "Okay, now this jar contains the penicillin liquid I was talking about."

Looking at the lower part, he stretched his neck to see clearly, Lu Jin told his disciples, "Separate your outfits and take them down for the people and ministers to take a closer look."

"Yes, Master."

Several doctors also helped, and the solution was divided into several small jars. Under the escort of the soldiers, Sun Bai and the others walked down the high platform holding the jars and walked in all directions.

The crowd surged up immediately, and the common people squeezed towards these small jars. Even though the liquid in the jars was colorless, tasteless, bland, like water, after Lu Jin's explanation and complicated movements, it had become extremely Precious.

"Does that mean anyone can make this medicine?"

The prince glanced at the jar, and then asked.

The doctor holding the jar shook his head, "It's not that simple."

As soon as the voice fell, someone started asking.

Lu Jin said: "I practiced this step many times before the epidemic, but it still didn't work."

"what?"

Everyone was shocked, and then someone became angry, "Then it's useless to say so much?"

"This can't cure the disease, what can it show us?"

"What a waste of time!"

"Give me an explanation."

The deceitful loud questioning instantly angered another group of Lu Jin's supporters.

"What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about, Doctor Lu always has his reasons for doing this, just listen to it."

"Yes, the medicine is so simple, isn't it possible that anyone can do it."

"Doctor Lu, please explain to them quickly."

Lu Jin smiled, and he said: "Thank you for your trust in me. Indeed, I didn't understand why this medicine didn't work. I didn't understand the key to it until the night of the heavy rain. Otherwise, it would be done before Dilong turned around. Everyone And you won’t suffer from the disease for more than ten days.”

Lu Jin said it easily, but it was not easy to listen to it during the process.

Then he went on to say: "People who are interested probably know that I built two houses on Tangshan. The shape and function are very strange, and the inside is very complicated. After talking about it, everyone doesn't understand it, so I won't introduce it. However, In order to reassure everyone, please choose someone with prestige from all over the place who can convince everyone to go to Tangshan to have a look at the current pharmaceutical process, and to witness whether penicillin can cure the epidemic when it is used on patients. To alleviate the disappearance, let everyone see is believing. For the sake of fairness and justice, no matter whether it is a minister or a commoner, no matter whether it is a craftsman or a scholar, you can come, and the representatives you choose yourself will always believe it."

Lu Jin's suggestion was well thought out.

He openly opened up like this to show that the medicine is really effective, and he is not afraid of others' doubts, so that the people are more convinced that they will no longer be instigated by people with ulterior motives, because they have seen these with their own eyes.

"I can say this because I have confidence in myself and penicillin, and I have found that patients are getting better, so I am not afraid of people questioning and verifying. But penicillin has a characteristic, it is not stable, it cannot be stored, and it will take a long time. It will disappear, so it needs to be made and used now. This requires everyone to help find raw materials and cultivate Penicillium. I wrote to the prince before, asking for a lot of manpower, but the effect is very little. Everyone seems to not trust the court, although I don’t know Why did this happen, and I don’t know whether those rumors are true or not, but I know that when I was fighting the epidemic, it was the imperial court who had been supporting me with all my strength, and it was also I who had been asking the prince not to leave Beijing, not to abandon the people in the city, not to Compromise with the epidemic, give me time, finally, now I have succeeded. So I am here to ask everyone to help, not for others, but for yourself, to unite together to eliminate the epidemic and defend your homeland. I think you have lived in the capital for so many years , it’s always the best to wander outside without leaving your hometown, right?”

As soon as Lu Jin finished speaking, he heard a voice shouting: "Doctor Lu, I trust you, count me in, Yuzhao from our Zijian."

That voice was really familiar, and Scholar Yu was the first to respond.

As soon as he finished speaking, the other scholars of the Imperial College were reluctant, "We want to go too."

"Everyone wants to go."

As soon as the Guozijian news broke out, other academies also took action.

Everyone wants to see this kind of rare thing, and the common people responded positively in an instant.

As for the matter of Kaicheng leaving the capital, no one mentioned it again. As Lu Jin said, who wants to be a refugee?
