Chapter 1,206: Extending Life

"I did say that we should believe in science and not be blindly superstitious, but this does not stop me from saying that you can prolong your life!"

Looking at the surprised expressions of the veterans, Ying Feiyu smiled calmly.

"Um?"

Hearing this, the veterans suddenly raised their brows.

"What is the average lifespan of my Great Qin?"

Ying Feiyu opened his mouth to ask.

"If you don't count those who died before the age of three, ordinary people should be able to live to be forty, and wealthy businessmen should not have a big problem if they reach over fifty!"

Zhang Han thought for a moment and gave an affirmative answer.

He is in charge of the household department and not only knows the property of Da Qin very well, he is also familiar with the population!

The current level of medical care is not high, and children under three years old are very likely to die.

Even a simple case of typhoid fever may kill a child!

That’s why he threw out children under three years old!

Ordinary people, because of their poor family background, simply look down on doctors, and they don't know what medicine to take. Even if they get sick, they can only resist it.

So the average life expectancy is about forty years!

But wealthy businessmen are different. They come from a well-off family and can be treated in time for whatever ailments they have.

Some wealthy families even have doctors in their houses who check the pulses of everyone in the house every now and then and take medicine immediately if there is any abnormality.

In this way, the life span is naturally much longer than that of ordinary people!

"Well said! Then I will tell you that the discovery and extraction of penicillin can increase people's life span by fifteen years. Do you believe it?"

After Ying Feiyu nodded in agreement, he released this big news.

"How many?"

The old guys seemed to have not heard clearly and asked with their eyes wide open.

“On average, life expectancy is increased by fifteen years!”

Ying Feiyu reiterated again and said seriously.

"..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent, eerily quiet.

The old guys still kept their shocked expressions, enough to stuff an egg in their mouths!

Even the medical school teachers who participated in the study were extremely shocked!

They know the effects of penicillin and its anti-inflammatory effect, which is definitely good news for the people!

But I didn’t expect that it could extend my life by fifteen years!

In this way, wouldn't it be true that ordinary people can live to be fifty-five, while those noble and wealthy businessmen can live to be seventy?

Good guy, can’t imagine!

"What? You don't believe it?"

Ying Feiyu glanced at everyone present, and finally laid his eyes on Chun Yuyi.

This guy is young, dares to think and do, and is willing to study medicine. He is a good prospect.

Doesn't even he believe that penicillin can make such a difference?

"No, no, no! Your Majesty, it's not that we don't believe it! But... we just can't believe it!"

After making eye contact with Ying Feiyu, Chun Yuyi finally came to his senses and waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Majesty, can the research on penicillin really make such a big difference?"

Fifteen years.

For ordinary people, this is almost half a lifetime!

It can increase your lifespan by half a lifetime, which is almost as good as immortality!

"Do you think I need to use this to deceive you?"

Ying Feiyu gave him a straight look.

After coming to Daqin for so many years, these guys still don’t believe what he said!

Even though sometimes it is a bit unbelievable for this era, but when has it not always become true?

Is there any need to doubt it?

"No, no, no! I don't dare! It's just...just..."

"Is it just too incredible?"

Chunyu Yi was so excited that he even stuttered and couldn't speak completely.

Ying Feiyu simply took over and said the second half of the sentence for him!

"Uh huh huh!"

Chunyu Yi nodded repeatedly like pounding garlic.

This is not only unbelievable, it is simply unbelievable!

If His Majesty hadn't said this, they would have thought they had encountered a charlatan!

Extending life span is something that only gods can do!

"This is the power of science...!"

Ying Feiyu smiled mysteriously, "Otherwise, why do you think I would strongly advocate the construction of a medical school?"

It is nothing more than to improve medical skills and extend people's lifespan.

To use Chun Yuyi's words, instead of increasing the population by encouraging fertility, it is better to improve medicine and extend the life of the people!

Now that drugs to extend people's lifespan have been developed, they can't believe it!

"Your Majesty, if you eat those bugs, you can live for fifteen more years? Wouldn't that mean that someone can live to be over seventy years old?"

Wang Ben looked in disbelief.

They are already over fifty now. In another fifteen years, they will be at least seventy!

"I have just said that what is extended is the average life span, and it does not guarantee that everyone can live an extra fifteen years! Besides, those are not bugs, and eating them will not extend your life!"

Ying Feiyu shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

"Those aren't food? That's...?"

The old guys blinked and stared at him suspiciously.

"After penicillin is extracted, it will be made into a medicine, which can be used for patients with wound inflammation, or other bacterial invasion and infection! The application range is very wide...!"

Ying Feiyu explained the uses of penicillin to the veterans in detail.

"Originally incurable diseases can be cured, and people's lifespan will naturally be extended!"

Before Rosa was injured, Gongcheng Yangqing only knew that it would cause high fever, but he didn't know what caused the high fever after the injury, let alone how to reduce the patient's fever.

After Ying Feiyu treated his wounds and reduced inflammation and fever, he was still shocked!

If that happens to the common people, they can prepare for the funeral. It is impossible to survive!

"I see!"

Although the old guys didn’t understand much, they also understood a lot.

It can be generally understood that penicillin is a universal drug that can cure many diseases.

Those incurable diseases in the past can all be cured after the introduction of penicillin.

With fewer incurable diseases, people’s life expectancy will naturally be extended!

No wonder His Majesty, Chun Yuyi and others are so excited.

If it were him who had developed such a miraculous drug, he would definitely be more excited than them!

"However, penicillin has another disadvantage, that is, it may cause allergic reactions, so it must be tested before use!"

Although penicillin has not yet been produced in large quantities, Ying Feiyu did not forget to remind him.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. You already mentioned this when you explained penicillin to us!"

Chunyu Yi and other teachers nodded repeatedly.

"Go back and purify the penicillin according to the purification method I mentioned before, and conduct experiments!"

Even if the penicillin under the microscope is exactly the same as the one on the later video, a lot of testing needs to be done just to be sure.

Only after ensuring safety can it be widely used!

Otherwise, once an accident occurs, all living lives will be harmed!
