In Zhu Xianhai's home, there is a chemical laboratory.
In addition to synthesizing APIs in the pharmacy, he also conducts some experiments in the chemical laboratory.
After the last simulation, he had a lot more knowledge about medicine and chemistry in his mind.
Now that we have mastered this knowledge, we must always use it to benefit mankind.
For example, "berberine hydrochloride" is a good choice.
This drug, which was only synthesized in 1910, had been extracted from plants as early as 1826. However, it had been ignored until it was treated with hydrochloric acid in 1910 and had practical application value. It is actually a
It is a broad-spectrum antibacterial drug, but it has only a weak inhibitory effect on bacteria and can inhibit the pathogenicity of intestinal bacteria such as Shigella dysenteriae, Escherichia coli and other bacteria.
Its antibacterial effect is definitely not comparable to most antibiotics in later generations, but to Zhu Xianhai, its value lies in its "weak inhibitory effect"!
In this age without any antibiotics, its "weak inhibitory effect" alone is enough to make it a "miraculous drug" - after all, in these days, even dysentery can kill people! Even in later generations
In China, in the 1950s and 1960s, berberine hydrochloride, commonly known as "berberine", was regarded by barefoot doctors as a "panacea" that could cure all diseases because of its inhibitory effect on a variety of bacteria. It even
Using large doses of berberine to treat tuberculosis has actually cured some tuberculosis patients. Of course, its effect cannot be compared with streptomycin, but it can at least cure a few patients. For tuberculosis patients in this era, this is what they
What hope! Coupled with cough syrup containing codeine, it is enough to ensure that most patients can live a relatively comfortable period of time.
Of course, as the only effective antibacterial drug in this era, the price of "berberine" will definitely not be low. It must be sold at the price of penicillin no matter what. If you don't use it to defraud millions, then... this, that, etc.
What a lie! It’s clearly benefiting the world.
Yes, it will benefit all mankind and let those white-skinned people experience the "suffering of Coptis chinensis".
But right now, for Zhu Xianhai, how to make money from Bai Pi is secondary, and the more important thing is another thing.
"It's still the same."
After searching around on the shelves and finding the required chemical raw materials, Zhu Xianhai looked at the required materials on the list, thought for a while, and then said
"There should be some fat in the kitchen."
…
In the next few days, Zhu Xianhai has been immersed in experiments in the laboratory. Although it was the first time to conduct a similar synthesis experiment, as a cheating man, he still successfully made it by relying on the chemical knowledge rewarded by the system.
The required raw materials are available.
"This is it!"
Looking at the light yellow greasy liquid in the bottle, Zhu Xianhai's face was full of pride.
This is nitroglycerin!
It is not only an explosive but also a drug.
French chemist Sobrelot invented nitroglycerin as early as 1847. Although its explosive power is extremely powerful, it is extremely unstable, thus limiting its potential uses. A dozen years later, Nobel made a fortune by taming it.
, and finally came up with the Dynamite Prize.
Of course, nitroglycerin is still a life-saving drug. Low-dose nitroglycerin can completely relieve angina, and the effect is more stable.
However, Zhu Xianhai created it not to introduce this life-saving medicine, but for another purpose.
In other words - dynamite!
Not only can it save lives, it can also kill people!
In this era, compared to ordinary black powder, it is definitely a more powerful killing weapon.
…
It's not enough to just synthesize nitroglycerin. This thing is too sensitive. If you accidentally point it out, you will be in trouble. But this is not a problem for Zhu Xianhai. After all, articles about the Dynamite Award have mentioned it countless times.
I have read the story of Nobel's taming of nitroglycerin.
It's simple - it's nothing more than diatomaceous earth.
Diatomite is not only chemically stable, but also has great absorptive power, making it very suitable for powdering explosives. So Nobel mixed nitroglycerin and diatomite in a certain proportion to make
It became a new type of explosive.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Zhu Xianhai easily copied this powerful explosive that won the "Explosives Award". With explosives, a detonating device is also needed.
Even explosives are a systematic project. Just like Nobel, Zhu Xianhai not only had to solve explosives, but also create detonators.
"Maybe I can open an explosives company in the future."
Looking at the explosives in the room, Zhu Xianhai said to himself.
Next year, the Civil War will break out. What is the biggest profit in the war?
Of course it’s arms!
New revolvers, especially powerful new explosives. Using berberine to kill white people in this era is not a skill. If you can use new explosives to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans, you can earn them millions of dollars.
The years of cultivation of later generations of Chinese universities!
This business is going strong!
"The blue ocean! The perfect blue ocean!"
Zhu Xianhai became a little excited as he excitedly talked about the big market next year.
More than just a blue ocean, it is well and truly in the limelight!
If I don’t do this business, how can I be worthy of the years of cultivation in the university?
"I'm sorry, even if this dynamite award is held in the future, it will have to be renamed..."
With this in mind, Zhu Xianhai, who originally wanted to rely on medicine to get rich, no, but to make a fortune by saving people, immediately made a decision that went against his conscience - to get a dynamite prize!
Zhu Xianhai Dynamite Award! It’s exciting just thinking about it!
Of course, right now, the most important thing is to protect yourself!
"You forced me to do this..."
The simplest way to deal with your opponent is to use a time bomb, which is simple and crude, but very effective.
But the most difficult thing about the time bomb is not the explosive, but the timer!
It is not difficult for an engineering student to make a timer, but that is in the 21st century.
But what kind of timer should be used in 1860?
Alarm clock, clock...
None of these are suitable!
Zhu Xianhai, who eventually became a bomb maniac, still found inspiration from movies.
The bomb used in the movie "Assassination of Hitler" is a very special timer - a corrosive timer. Its timing principle is very special - it uses a metal wire to compress a spring, and then dissolves the metal wire with a corrosive acid.
Once the metal wire is broken, the spring-loaded hammer is released to hit the detonator, which detonates the explosive.
Its structure is extremely simple, but it is extremely reliable, which is why it was widely used by the Allies during World War II for destruction behind enemy lines.
"That's him!"
"..."
Holding his pocket watch, Zhu Xianhai has been keeping track of the time.
One minute, two minutes...
"boom!"
With a loud explosion, Zhu Xianhai's lips curled into a sneer as he watched the soil being blasted away.
Your Excellency, Minister of Military Affairs!
You didn't expect it!
You were already picked out in the first episode - now it's my turn!
