Chapter 493
Therefore, on the one hand, he worked hard to do the work of the two elderly people, Tonglin Guangde and Xu Yushan, so that they could let go of their fear and grudges against foreigners. On the other hand, he asked Huo Qingyun to investigate this matter secretly in private.
Although this is not the most efficient way for detailed searches, it is the most comprehensive way under the current situation.
......
In the next few days, Lin Xu spent all the time in the laboratory and worked hard to develop artemisinin.
Except for Ruolan who comes in every day to deliver food to him, no one else is allowed to come in!
Anyone who has done experiments knows that it is very boring to work alone in the laboratory, not to mention that the conditions in this laboratory are so poor, and the experiments he has done before always failed!
If Lin Xu hadn't considered that artemisinin would be too important to people of this era, he would really want to give up!
After four or five days of experiments, I don’t know how many failures I have experienced or how much raw materials have been consumed. On that evening, Lin Xu’s hearty laughter suddenly came from the lab that has been silent!
Ruolan happened to come over to deliver food to Lin Xu with a bamboo basket. When she heard Lin Xu's hearty laughter, she hurried in and asked in surprise: "Official, have you succeeded?"
"Yes, it succeeded!"
Lin Xu walked to Ruolan and picked her up and turned around twice in excitement.
"Official, be careful, I'm still carrying food..."
Ruolan held the bamboo basket tightly, afraid that the soup would spill out and stain Lin Xu's clothes.
Putting Ruolan on the ground, Lin Xu kissed her twice on the forehead. He was so excited that he couldn't help himself!
A few minutes ago, he successfully extracted the first dose of artemisinin from this time and space!
Although the purity cannot be compared with the artemisinin extracted from the laboratory in his previous life, and although it is not yet mass-produced, he has found a way to successfully extract artemisinin in such a simple experimental environment using these primitive materials!
In today's era, malaria is one of the most serious infectious diseases. Once it gets sick, there is no cure for any medicine. Whether it can survive can only be left to fate!
It can be called a terminal illness!
Every time malaria rages, I don’t know how many lives it will be taken!
Now, he has successfully extracted artemisinin, the nemesis who specializes in treating malaria!
Moreover, the use of artemisinin to treat malaria does not require intravenous injection, but is done by rectal administration, which avoids the trouble of being unable to produce a syringe!
Although it is not possible to mass produce now and although the purity is still very low, he has mastered the extraction method. On this basis, it will not take too long for him to find a way to achieve a higher extraction purity and to a certain extent!
Just imagine, if artemisinin with relatively high purity can be produced, then in this world, I don’t know how many people will benefit from it!
If he set up a business that specializes in producing artemisinin for sale, then he will not need to do anything else in his life. This product alone will be enough to make him the richest man in the world!
Of course, the specific way to bring artemisinin to the market still needs to be carefully considered.
However, he had a principle in his mind, that is, he would never make money from ordinary people, and to make money from noble officials, gentry, wealthy merchants and landlords!
