The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 844 It All Depends on Kong Jie's Acting Skills

Accustomed to seeing the magic of Kong Jie, John subconsciously chose to believe what Kong Jie said, even though he felt a little unbelievable.

Just like the excitement and excitement subconsciously floating on his big wrinkled face at this moment.

After regaining consciousness and calming down, John couldn't help feeling a little hesitant in his heart.

Penicillin John naturally knew that the first penicillin was actually born in the world in [-].

In the [-]s, penicillin gradually entered the stage of industrial production. However, due to the immature technology, the production at that time was still very low, and it was not enough to supply the needs of the army.

At least at this stage, in China, there are mainly some sulfonamide antibacterial drugs.

Haven't heard of a drug like penicillin yet.

Western countries don’t have enough for themselves, so how can there be so much penicillin for you to give to China?

Even if there are, not only the quantity is very small, but also the price is quite expensive, there has always been a price but no market.

Thinking of this, John tentatively asked, "Xu, the drug you mentioned is even ten times more effective than sulfa antibiotics..."

Kong Jie said: "Penicillin, I think John, you should be very clear.

In addition, even if this penicillin is produced with the most advanced production technology in our western countries, it is not enough for mass production right now.

The output per cubic centimeter may only be a few units, at most only a few dozen units.

Such output is simply not enough to supply the needs of the war.

And what I have in hand is the production process to mass-produce this penicillin antibacterial drug. "

What Kong Jie said was so convincing that John couldn't help but believe it.

"Xu, so you have already started the research and production of this penicillin?"

"Of course!" Kong Jie said confidently, "Although due to the limitation of industrial level, it is not enough for mass production, but a small amount of production is still possible to supply the needs of our Chinese army.

With your help, John, and the advanced equipment and instruments provided by you from the United States, I think it may not be impossible for penicillin, an antibacterial drug, to be officially transferred to the stage of industrial mass production. "

"Xu, I want to see what you said with my own eyes. You know, this matter is of great importance. If I don't see it with my own eyes, I can't convince myself and the parent company behind me!" When John said these words, his breath It got a little heavier.

He is not very jealous of the process of producing penicillin, after all, the US side has also mastered this process.

Moreover, the U.S. military has been secretly developing and preparing a large number of penicillin-type antibacterial drugs to prepare for a war that may break out at any time.

But if, as Kong Jie said, he really mastered the production process of this penicillin mass production, then it would be different.

Until now, the U.S. military has been troubled by the low production of penicillin and the high production cost!

In John's view, whoever can solve the problem of mass production of penicillin can even become the greatest person of this era, bar none.

It will surely go down in history!

And behind the mass-produced penicillin can bring a lot of wealth.

These temptations are absolutely fatal to a businessman like John.

Kong Jie smiled brightly, and he was just waiting for the Yankee to speak by himself!

"Of course, John, I will let you see the most real situation, but I am not here. If you agree, I can take you to a certain station of the Eighth Route Army, so that you can clearly witness the wounded fighting the Japanese there, resulting in Soldiers whose wounds may be infected at any time are being injected with penicillin."

As soon as these words came out, John couldn't sit still, and immediately nodded in agreement.

He knew the current situation. The Chinese army should never have such a highly effective antibacterial drug as penicillin.

If Kong Jie can really come up with such an antibacterial drug and use it in the Eighth Route Army
This is enough to prove that in the hands of Kong Jie, there is indeed a process for producing penicillin, and even mass production in the future.

Then the two left as soon as they said they would, leaving directly from the private room of Fengxianju, preparing to leave Ping'an County first, and then follow Kong Jie's guidance to rush to the station of the fifth company of the second independent regiment.

The process of leaving Yangquan County was quite smooth. John, a Yankee, was able to let the little devil go directly just by his looks.

At least so far, this ordinary devil would not choose to provoke the Yankee.

Kong Jie, who was escorted by bright and dark lines, also left Yangquan with ease, and then took John directly to the station of the fifth company of the second regiment.

This itinerary was arranged by Kong Jie long ago.

He guessed that John would hesitate, and he would not believe it easily without taking this Yankee to see the situation with his own eyes.

So after the group arrived at the fifth company's station, the cadres headed by the fifth company commander pretended not to know Kong Jie and the monk.

After the two sides met, the fifth company commander greeted Kong Jie with a smile: "Boss Xu, why are you here?"

John, on the other hand, looked exactly as I expected, and said with a smile, "Xu, I knew you were a regular visitor here, and you must know the officers of the Eighth Route Army here."

"Who is this?"

The fifth company commander looked at John pretendingly and asked.

Kong Jie smiled and said: "Liu Lianchang, let me introduce you, this is the American businessman John, beside him is his assistant Joe Foss.

John is a businessman with humanitarian beliefs. He has sent a lot of supplies and arms to help our Chinese army, especially our Eighth Route Army. "

"Welcome, warmly welcome!" The fifth company commander stretched out his hand very enthusiastically, and held John's hand tightly.

Then I couldn't help but look at John a few more times, and muttered in my heart: It seems that this is the detachment leader's new trick!
Then, Kong Jie directly stated his intention: "Liu Lianchang, let's get down to business!
Is the penicillin I sent over last time okay? "

The fifth company commander immediately replied: "It's so easy to use, it's like a miracle drug, much better than sulfonamide.

Boss Xu, I haven't had time to represent our Eighth Route Army, thank you very much! "

"Thank you, you are all Chinese. You Eighth Route Army is really fighting against the Japanese and fighting devils. This is what I should do."

As soon as the subject changed, Kong Jie said directly: "John and the others came here this time to see for themselves how penicillin is used in our Eighth Route Army. Company Commander Liu, look at this..."

"No problem. Just in the morning, another batch of wounded were sent from the front line. Some of the wounds are seriously infected, and they are waiting for the penicillin injection!"

The fifth company commander said, and under the surprise on John's face, he took Kong Jie and John to the temporary medical center of the fifth company.

In the clinic, John and Joe Foss saw this scene:
There were five or six wounded lying on the beds in the medical office. The injuries were serious. Of course, they were mainly traumatic injuries. The wounds were obviously infected, and some of them had even festered.

This is the greatest pain brought to the wounded during the war - wound bacterial infection.

This is even the chief culprit for the low recovery rate of battlefield casualties.

In many cases, soldiers may only suffer some ordinary trauma on the battlefield, but due to the untimely treatment of the wound, bacterial infection can even be life-threatening.

If there is no effective antibacterial drug such as penicillin to suppress the bacterial infection of the wound, these wounded who are still alive may die of wound ulceration in a few days.

How sad and helpless!

This situation is not uncommon for the Eighth Route Army troops who lack guns and ammunition, and even more lack of medicines.

Then, some health personnel arrived. After they took the medicine box into the clinic, they opened the medicine box and saw that there were twenty or thirty drug-filled syringes neatly placed inside.

"Could it be filled with penicillin?"

John, who saw this scene, thought secretly in his heart: "My God, just such an Eighth Route Army troop produced twenty or thirty penicillin at one time, it seems that Xu really has the craft to produce penicillin! "

These penicillins are scarce medicines that are worth gold during the war.

While John was secretly feeling emotional, the health personnel took out the medicine-filled syringes in the medicine box and injected medicine into the seriously injured wounded.

Then a miraculous scene happened.

One of the soldiers, who was seriously injured by fragments, was still depressed when he was carried in on a stretcher, with his eyelids drooping.

After a dose of penicillin was injected into his body, in just a few minutes, his spirits improved a lot, he opened his eyes, and even saluted the fifth company commander who came to visit him.

Don't feel exaggerated, this is the actual effect of penicillin during this period.

At this time, the bacteria have little resistance to antibacterial drugs such as penicillin.

The effect of antibacterial drugs is quite significant, otherwise it would not be praised by the military as a life-saving specific drug.

Then, the health personnel injected drugs into the other wounded, and the condition of the other wounded also improved significantly.

The fifth company commander told the medical staff again: "The wounded have already been injected with penicillin, and they will be fine after waiting for recovery. Pay attention to strengthening nutrition, and improve the food for the wounded in the past few days."

"Yes, company commander, don't worry, with this special medicine, our wounded comrades will be alive and kicking in a few days!" An elderly health worker said with a smile.

"John, let's go out first, and don't disturb the rest of the wounded." Kong Jie said at the right time.

When John and Joe Fuss withdrew from the infirmary, what came to mind was the miraculous scene when the wounded were given penicillin antibiotics just now.

The Fifth Company Commander, possessed by a dramatist, directly ignored John and John, and said to Kong Jie: "I have to say, Boss Xu, the special medicines you sent are simply amazing. I don't know how many of us have been saved these days." The wounded died!
It’s just that we are fighting the Japanese army on the front line, and the wounded may appear at any time. If these medicines are used, are they okay…”

Kong Jie smiled lightly and said, "Don't worry, I'll send another 50 doses later."

"Thank you so much, thank you so much, but with this amount of money, our Eighth Route Army might just..."

"What money do you want? As long as we soldiers fight the enemy bravely on the front line, I will figure out a solution to the problem of this medicine!" Kong Jie said awe-inspiringly.

The fifth company commander became more and more grateful.

In the end, when they left the fifth company's garrison, John and Joe Foss had completely believed that Kong Jie must have the craft to produce penicillin.

Even industrial mass production may not be impossible.

With their advanced equipment and sufficient resources from the United States to intervene, perhaps this process is just ahead of schedule.

Just like that, the initiative was completely in Kong Jie's hands.

Actually...

Of the twenty or thirty drug-filled syringes taken out by the medical staff at the Wulian Health Center just now, only three of them were real penicillin.

The wounded are of course real.

It's just that the remaining 20 or so syringes are all fake medicines.

Kong Jie obtained the penicillin production process through the system, coupled with the hard work of a newly formed drug production research team in the past six months.

Even some of the medical professors brought back from the foreign concession had stayed in a team to help.

After the unremitting efforts of all staff, a team successfully developed penicillin, but the output still failed to increase due to various constraints.

Naturally, it was impossible to casually take out twenty or thirty doses and send them to Wulian's clinic.

Kong Jie asked the Fifth Company Commander to perform such a play, naturally to fool John.

The extraction of mold, large-scale cultivation of strains, especially purification, requires quite advanced equipment. Dryers, separators, various fermentation tanks, boilers and other equipment are not currently available to the Eighth Route Army. Some process production conditions can be provided.

Otherwise, Kong Jie wouldn't be able to go to the Yankees for cooperation.

Purely for the chicken and egg.

In addition, by the way, get more benefits from John, it is best to use this penicillin to get more munitions and equipment for the Eighth Route Army troops, and even some military production lines.

After all, according to the timeline, even if Kong Jie didn't make a move.

By about four or three years, according to the inevitable course of history, the Yankees can also master the process of industrial mass production of penicillin.

Kong Jie took the advantage of foresight to grab benefits in advance.

As for working with John.

When he returned to the headquarters of a team again, Chief of Staff Xu Guoan also asked, "Old Kong, do you really want to give up our penicillin production technology to the Yankees?"

Kong Jie replied: "According to the conditions I proposed, both the research laboratory and the first factory put into production must be placed in the base of our first team.

And the first-hand researchers must be composed of our personnel, or completely controlled by us.

The production process of penicillin and the means of mass production, heh, the Yankees will naturally get some, but those will only be leftovers for us to eat.

Don't they like to sell obsolete weapons to our Chinese army at a high price, then we can take the obsolete research technology as a benefit and throw it to the Yankees bit by bit. "

Of course, the Yankees couldn't be aware of the clues when they cooperated.

Then it depends on Kong Jie's acting skills...
