Chapter five hundred and fifty-seven, antiviral oral liquid (1)
That afternoon, a small steamer approached a dock near Hangzhou, and several carriages were already waiting here. As soon as the boat was docked, a few students got on board and moved out some iron buckets and some long wooden boxes.
Several students worked hard to carry the iron buckets and wooden boxes to the carriage. Whether it was the iron buckets or wooden boxes, they made heavy noises when they were placed on the carriage.
"Be gentle, be careful." The person leading the team shouted, "Didn't you see the careful and careless sign above? Xu Bai, Wang Bing, can't you see which side is the front? Face up!"
"Mr. Chen, we understand." Several students responded. "(("Novel p;"After a while, these iron buckets and wooden boxes were placed on the carriage, and the coachman gently shook the whip, and the carriage drove towards the West Lake.
Chen Jianping sat in the first carriage, holding a wooden box placed next to him with one hand to help him maintain balance.
Perhaps because of the confidentiality discipline, the students could see that they were very excited, but everyone held back and said nothing in the car, but some people couldn't help but caress the long wooden boxes with a smile.
At this time, several carriages arrived at a slope, and the handlebars waved their whips hard, and the muscles on the horse pulling the carriage were bulging one by one, but the carriage could not get on.
"Gentlemen, the slope is too steep and the car is too heavy. I really can't get up, otherwise..." The leader said hesitantly. He knew that, generally speaking, these students were very delicate, and they would probably be quite dissatisfied with letting them get off the car. However, these students were willing to move things just now, but they were different from ordinary students.
However, these students were really different. When they saw Mr. Chen standing up on the handlebar, they shouted, "Everyone gets down and helps push the car up." So the students jumped out of the car one after another, and they worked together. After a while, they pushed several cars up.
After crossing this slope, Chen Jianping got on the car again. He drove the car in the handlebar, but started talking to him:
"Mr. Chen, are you all from Salvation Medical College?"
"Yes." Chen Jianping replied. Because these cars have to drive directly to the medical school, this question is just the reason why the handlebars are used to raise the topic.
"Mr. Chen, your students are not ordinary." The handlebar said, "Who is an ordinary foreign student who wants to do these hard work?"
After hearing this, Chen Jianping couldn't help but feel moved. He suddenly remembered some of the things he learned about confidentiality when he was training in the United States. One of them was not to look too different. Now the performance of these students seems a bit different. This is not a good thing.
In that era, students who studied foreign books generally had poor tempers. Since the Qing court abolished the imperial examinations in 1905, students who studied foreign books had the opportunity to make a name for themselves. Now, when they go to Western schools, they seem to have gained fame and become masters. When they become masters, they naturally become "heart-working people". Those who work hard to govern people, and those who work hard to govern people. So there is no reason why the master personally moves things and the master personally pushes the cart.
"Our school is slightly different from those schools. These students will go to the United States to study in the future." Chen Jianping explained, "The rules in American schools are that all kinds of work must be done by students. Therefore, all students who are preparing to go abroad to the United States should get used to it when they are in China, and at least learn to do something so that they will not be looked down upon by foreigners."
"Ah, that's it. As a result, studying abroad is quite a pain." The handlebar feels that I have more materials to use for bragging when I drink in the future, so I become more and more interested. "What are you moving like? What are you?"
"Most of them are all kinds of drugs, and some are medical devices. Many of these things are made of glass and are very expensive, so we dare not let people who are not knowledgeable move them. If they really get rid of them, it's really..." Chen Jianping also took this opportunity to explain those doubts.
"Medical Devices?" has never been heard of the handlebar type. However, compared with other languages, Chinese has a clear advantage, that is, Chinese words are often composed of meaningful morphemes. Whenever something appears, you only need to recombinate these morphemes to create the corresponding words. And it is quite easy to understand. For example, "electric lamp" is equivalent to an electric lamp. In comparison, English is much more troublesome.
Because of this characteristic of Chinese, although he knew nothing about the handlebar style of "medical devices", he could guess a little with this word. So he said: "I heard that foreign doctors can treat people's stomach-breaking diseases. After they are cured, they sew them with thread, and then the patient will jump around again. Are they relying on these devices?"
"I have to use these, but it's not all about these." Chen Jianping replied, "It still depends on the doctor's own ability and various drugs."
"Well, that's right. Just like this, it's not OK to drive a car without a whip, but it may not be possible to drive it well with a whip." The handlebar shaking the whip said, "People say that Western medicine is all tiger and wolf medicine, which can only treat symptoms, not root causes, and I don't know if it's true."
After hearing this, Chen Jianping smiled, but although he did not agree with this statement, like most Western medicines at that time, in his opinion, traditional Chinese medicine is closer to a witch doctor. As for the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, it is even more a joke. But he did not intend to argue with a chauffeur here on this issue.
...
However, what Chen Jianping did not expect was that Dr. McMillan, the director of the Salvation Hospital, was now studying the witch doctors' deceptions in his mind.
"Zhou, thank you very much for helping me organize so many things." McMillan said to Zhou Shuren while putting the information in his hand into a classified information bag.
"Doctor McMillan, this is just a slight effort, but I don't understand why you are so interested in these things that have no scientific basis and are almost nonsense?"
"No, Zhou, these things are not nonsense. Although there may be many mistakes in using their guiding theories, they have a history of practice for thousands of years. Even if they have been trying all theories without theory for thousands of years, they have been randomly tried like alchemy for thousands of years. Until now, after generations of attempts, the things that can be passed down must have very valuable things, but before that, we did not explain them with science. This is like when we white people in ancient times, because the sun rose and set in the east, they believed that the sun was rotating around the earth. Now we know that this statement is wrong
, but the calendar calculated based on it is not wrong. Zhou, you know, in the Middle Ages, European doctors often did all kinds of stupid things, but we still use some of the drugs they found until now. In addition, we have also learned a lot of very useful drugs from the indigenous peoples in South America and the Pacific, such as quinine. Even the witchcraft of the indigenous people who are completely uncivilized, there are such treasures hidden. Then, there must be more treasures in the traditional Chinese medicines with thousands of years of civilization history." Dr. McMillan replied very seriously.
Although Zhou Shuren has a very bad view of traditional Chinese medicine, and even has many bad views on Chinese traditional culture. However, although China is now in turmoil, he is still full of love for these and China. Sometimes, although he himself scolds various problems in Chinese traditional culture, this is just the deep love and the deep responsibility. Therefore, when he heard that a foreigner can recognize the value of Chinese things without prejudice, Zhou Shuren was actually quite moved.
However, McMillan's view is not his own. To be precise, this view comes from Scrooge. Moreover, the information he collects now is actually designated by Scrooge.
After the war begins, tens of millions of people in the world will die on the battlefield. However, Scourge knows that war is not the most efficient way to harvest lives during this period. Scourge knows that starting from 1918, there will be an epic flu pandemic in the Spanish flu pandemic. In this epic flu pandemic, 25 to 40 million people will die in the entire world. This will be the most dead and most widely affected plague epidemic in human history. If any company can launch effective therapeutic drugs during this plague epidemic, the benefits it can obtain are simply unimaginable. For Scourge, this is naturally an opportunity that cannot be missed.
However, in later generations, the disease strains of Spanish flu were not preserved, so no one knew which antiviral drugs could fight this disease. Scourge also didn't know. He only knew that there was no drug in his hands that could even be used to deal with the virus.
In Scourge's research institution, antibiotics have entered the final stage of research, but Scourge knows that antibiotics are used to deal with bacteria, and these things cannot deal with viruses. Antiviral drugs, even in later generations, are much less knowledgeable about them than antibiotics. Scourge was not a doctor or pharmacist in his previous life, so naturally they didn't know much. Basically, he only knew one or two, one of them, one was amantadine hydrochloride. Unfortunately, he only knew one name, specific structure, production method, and scope of application. However, after hard work, the big laboratory still made this thing out. Then they found that this thing does have antiviral functions, but it can only work on a very small number of viruses. It is probably not very useful to deal with Spanish flu.
In this case, Scourge suddenly remembered a stock he bought called "Xiangxue Pharmaceutical". Although this stock did not make Scourge of that year, he learned through it that Xiangxue Antiviral Oral Liquid, a brand-name product of this company. This is a broad-spectrum antiviral drug based on Chinese medicine, led by the government, developed after the establishment of Chitu Kingdom, under the leadership of the government. It has good efficacy for most influenza viruses. So he collected these prescriptions and improved them. Finally, part of the task of creating the MacDonald version of "Antiviral Oral Liquid" fell on McMillan.
