Chapter 256: Magic anesthesia, research and development begins!
"Have you heard? The Parliament has made a secret remedy to combat the 'Sea Plague'."
"Yes, I heard that too."
News spreads fastest among businessmen. Less than ten days after Grete successfully made sodium ascorbate, the news spread among the sea merchants in Nevis City:
"Yes, there is a clerk in my shop, his second brother's brother-in-law, who is in the Northern Squadron. I heard that when I came back this time, all the patients in the fleet who contracted the 'sea plague' took this medicine, and they soon became ill.
alright!"
"I heard that the Northern Fleet is going to sea for training soon. They are planning to float offshore for a few months and test this new drug."
"Tell me, can we get this medicine?"
"I went to the White Tower yesterday and asked, but there was no exchange area."
"Maybe it's still being tested? I'll ask someone to ask..."
Gretel didn't want to pay attention to these things at all. After he made sodium ascorbate, he calculated the yield and found that with his production process, 100 grams of oranges could only extract 10 mg of vitamin C.
Assuming that a normal person consumes 100 mg of vitamin C every day, and a fleet of 1,000 people floats at sea for 60 days, he would need to make sodium ascorbate for a fleet of ships...
Throw away 60 tons of oranges!
fall!
Such a large production volume should be left to industrial production, and should not be left to manual production by one person!
So, Gretel finished writing the paper and quickly threw it into the hands of Dr. Carlisle. Dr. Carlisle looked at the paper and the key points mentioned in it that needed to be tested, shook his head and smiled bitterly:
1. There must be a more efficient way to extract the drug that treats scurvy. It is recommended that the Alchemy Workshop establish a team and conduct multiple experiments. Since this drug is easy to remain stable in acid and will quickly change properties in alkali, it is recommended that
Chop the food into pieces, use dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, and dilute nitric acid to extract it in turn;
2. Different fruits and vegetables have different contents of active ingredients. It is recommended that the team find more fruits and vegetables for calculation, instead of just using oranges and lemons. Attached is the method for calculating the content by titration;
3. When this drug reacts with baking soda and soda ash, different ratios need to be tested for purity and concentration...
At the back of the paper, there is also a thick stack of experimental records, which is half a foot long. The attitude is obviously "I have done it, you can go into more details, I won't play anymore".
It's really Gretel's consistent style... It was the same when the mithril was smelted last time, and it was the same after the last phlogiston experiment. Throw out a plan, let it go, and let others test and improve it...
There is nothing wrong with doing research this way, but it is a bit too big a deal. Generally speaking, magicians below level five practice with their mentors. Only after reaching level five can they independently study some valuable issues.
, as for leading a team, you need to be at least level 7, 8, or even level 9 or above. Of course, those foreign mage towers that can be hosted by a fifth-level mage are not among them.
But Little Gretel is only level 3!
"Okay, even if you have completed this task for the time being." Master Carlisle sighed and patted the paper. "But we have to wait until enough medicine is made and the fleet has tested it to be effective before we can reward you.——
Next, have you decided what to study? Are there any resources that Thunder Horn can provide?"
Grete hesitated for a moment. Penicillin is still being searched for, but so far, no results have been obtained;
The drawings of the P4 laboratory are already available, but the plan of the mage tower, protection system and change system are still entangled and have not been finalized for the time being;
In terms of public health, the relevant departments of the parliament are wrangling. The main reason is that a new expenditure has suddenly appeared. The amount of the budget has not yet been determined. It will not be his turn for a while...
"This... I have a magic that I don't quite understand. Can I ask you for advice?"
"What magic?"
"Second-level magic of the Charm Control School, [Delaying Pain]."
"Oh, this magic." Master Carlisle immediately relaxed. This magic is not difficult, I am familiar with it!
[Delay Pain] This magic can make the subject feel no pain for a period of time. It is one of the necessary spells for magicians to go on adventures and travel at home. When he advanced to the third level of magic, he learned it quickly
, I have become very familiar with it after using it for so many years.
By the way, this magic also has a corresponding magical version, which has always been a powerful tool for priests to comfort patients - whether it hurts or not, I will give you a [Delay Pain] shot, and the disease will be cured within three hours.
"Can't you learn this magic? Where is it stuck? Use it again and show me -"
The spell is not recited correctly? The casting gesture is not standard? The spell model cannot be analyzed? Master Carlisle guessed. Gretel lowered his head and chanted a few words, pointed his hand, and a spell wave was sent forward. Master Carlisle raised his hand to meet it, and smoothly
I pinched myself, and sure enough, I could barely feel the pain.
Considering the natural spell resistance of high-level mage, it is quite good to be able to achieve this.
"Didn't you make good use of it? What's the problem?"
"What is the working principle of this magic?" Gretel quickly poured out a lot of questions:
"Which part of the human body does it act on? Can the range be adjusted, such as controlling only a certain part of the limb? Can the muscles be relaxed at the same time? And..."
"Stop! - I'll take you to find someone from the Control Department!"
Gretel smiled slightly.
He has long wanted to study this magic. [Delay Pain] allows patients to not feel pain for a certain period of time. In Grete's opinion, it is simply an anesthesia artifact. Local anesthesia, spinal anesthesia, general anesthesia, anesthesia while also
It will cause central nervous system depression and will not cause the patient's heart rate to drop or lose spontaneous breathing——
This is much better than clinical anesthetics!
But the problem is that he used [Delay Pain] to perform surgery on rabbits. When the rabbits should struggle, they should struggle, and when they should run away, they should run away. When setting the bones of the sheep's legs, the sheep's muscles should be tight or taut, and they should be unable to break, but he still breaks them.
Do not move.
In this regard, Elder Wood's answer was "improve your control." But Grete always felt that there should be other ways, better ways...
The relationship between the Charm Control system and the Evocation system is not good. The latter feels that the former is too flashy and insidious; the former feels that the latter is too violent and can only fight and kill. Fortunately, Master Carlisle is in Thunder.
Although he had been working for many years, he still had some connections. He took him around and around, and soon found a level 13 magic control master.
"Mrs. Seat, this is the child." Dr. Carlisle pulled Gretel through the door. In the reception room, a charming young woman who looked to be only twenty-seven or eighty years old raised her head and smiled slightly:
"Little Gretel? I've heard of you. - Well, since you have questions, just study with me for a while and follow up to study."
