Chapter 152 149. A Pair of "Something" Riding Boots
Time needs to go back a few hours. At 10 o'clock in the morning, when Carvey was sitting on the sofa in the old marshal's bedroom, something happened on the campus of the University of Vienna.

The earliest gardener who maintained the lawn at the school saw a pair of well-placed black riding boots while trimming the bushes on both sides.He was delighted to secretly take it back for his own use, but after he stepped forward to take a closer look, he discovered that there was a "something" in the riding boot.

He was so frightened that he reported the matter directly to the Director of Academic Affairs.

The director went to the scene and found out that it was true, so he continued to report to the higher authorities, and at the same time blocked the news. At least the small woods and lawns around the riding boots were useless.The other side sent someone to call the patrol, hoping that the police station would take over these deadly riding boots as soon as possible.

However, things did not go as smoothly as he thought. At this time, the chief and deputy chief of the Vienna Police Department, two police chiefs, the forensic doctor and many police officers all went to Ludwig's mansion.Although there are people in the police station, no one can give orders, and they don't know what to do in such a situation.Even if they knew, no one would dare to do it without an order from the leader.

Poor news transmission caused the pair of riding boots to be placed by the bushes. It was not until one o'clock in the afternoon that the police who handled the case came to the campus one after another. First, they temporarily pulled up the cordon to maintain order on the campus. Asked to take a few photos of the scene, and then waited.

At this time, Werther and Del Rio had already passed through Vienna and came to Carvey's pharmaceutical factory. They were looking for a list of merchants who bought sodium citrate recently, while Musil and the two directors were still in the marshal's house. Dining in the reception restaurant.

Without a sheriff in charge, the police did not dare to move around, and the time for handling the case was delayed until the man got the news.

"I can see you everywhere."

Carvey was recognized before entering the school gate, and standing ten meters away in front of him was the lingering Mick.Mick ate something casually at the Marshal's mansion, and hurried back to the city at one o'clock in the afternoon. Originally, he wanted to call someone to investigate the case, but before he got out of the carriage, he heard the news and came to the University of Vienna without stopping.

Since there is no one in charge in the police station, he will take the responsibility on his own shoulders instead.

However, he has no ability to investigate cases, and he is not interested in these broken legs, let alone help the police to find out the origin of these legs. What Mick is really interested in is those hostile forces who are trying to entrap the empire.

If it is really to deal with the empire, is it the Prussians who have been particularly eye-catching recently?Or the unchanging French?Or the useless Italians in the south?
"It happened at 10 o'clock in the morning, what's the use of checking now?" Carvey didn't know what was going on in his mind.

"You're too normal to understand their mentality." Mick looked up and looked around, "The ones who can do this kind of thing are either perverts or lunatics. With their behavior style, they may be hiding in a corner waiting for something to be discovered. After discovering the reaction, and then slowly appreciate this big show.”

"How did you know?"

"Because that's what I usually do."

"."

Carvey didn't have time to waste time with him, and he wasn't in the mood to care whether those legs belonged to Albert, the old marshal's son.

Now he has three things on his mind. First, he has to figure out the ingredients of the herbal medicine that the peasant woman used, and then try to practice as much anatomy around the spine on the corpse as possible to prepare for the Marshal's surgery. Finally, he has to talk to a certain doctor who just came to the University of Vienna. raw contact.

This is not an ordinary young doctor as talented as Damirgang, but a real giant recognized in the medical field a few years later.

Carvey was still the person he met in the chemistry teaching and research room when he proposed to exempt the chemistry class. At that time, he only knew the name of the other person, and he was a little surprised why the German doctor came to Vienna.Only later did he learn the reason from Meadows. The other party was a student from the University of Göttingen in Germany, and he came to Vienna for a short-term study visit.

If nothing else, he will be able to return to Göttingen to obtain his degree in two months.

What Carvey lacks now is research talents, and he really wants to keep him.But the University of Göttingen is already a world-renowned university [1], not much worse than the University of Vienna. Coupled with the current tension between Prussia and Austria, it is very difficult to achieve this goal.

Carvey first ran to the underground laboratory, preparing to hand over the herbal medicine to Savarin, and then went to the school's Institute of Chemistry to visit the "microbiologist" who will be a few years later.

However, what he didn't expect was that when he knocked on the door of the laboratory, Robert Koch, whom he had been looking forward to meeting, stood in front of him brightly.

Carvey is a little face-blind to Europeans, but this time he memorized all of Koch's facial features and recognized him immediately: "Mr. Koch?"

"You are."

"He is Carvey Hines." Savarin, who was busy working behind him, said, "The first-year freshman who was confronting Professor Bill Roth at the time."

"Don't talk nonsense, there is no scolding." Carvey smiled sarcastically, "We just exchanged opinions on the morphology and classification of microorganisms, and made some reasonable and friendly academic discussions full of goodwill."

"You are Carvey?" Koch was surprised, "I seem to have seen you in the chemistry teaching and research room?"

Carvey walked into the room and closed the door: "Mr. Koch is a doctoral student at the University of Göttingen."

"Yes, I'm graduating soon."

Speaking of this, Koch seemed a little dazed. He looked back at Savarin and Martick, who were working without distraction, and couldn't help but envy the freshmen: "I'm a little confused about my future work, so I agreed to come to Kars at that time. Invited by Professor Schroeter from the Ruhe International Chemistry Conference, I came here to relax."【2】

"Confused at work?" Carvey understands this feeling very well, "Do you know the direction of future research?"

"I love medicine, but I don't like dealing with people. I like anatomy and surgery, but I hate cutting flesh and bones with a knife. Internal medicine is boring, but I am very interested in those strange diseases. "

Koch's thoughts are extremely contradictory: "It sounds strange, but even I don't know what's wrong with me."

"It's better to stay in the laboratory, where you can do research with peace of mind and not be disturbed by the outside world." Carvey walked to a microscope [3] and said, "After all, medicine is gradually moving towards the microcosmic, and many things stand alone. It's hard to see with the eyes."

"Mr. Carvey is right. I am also very interested in festering tissue in surgical wounds recently, and I have the honor to read your article in the "Berlin Medical Journal." Koch looked at Carvey with a smile on his face. Mixed, "I agree with you in your article on microbes, but..."

"what happened?"

Koch originally wanted to say that he was surprised by his age, but after a moment of hesitation, he focused on himself: "But it seems that many people are opposed to the 'microbial diversity theory' and the 'microbial pathogenic theory' '."

Carvey is well aware of the environment he is in and has already prepared for a long-term struggle.

"Since Mr. Koch is so interested in surgical wound ulceration, have you done any research on them? For example, put them on a glass slide and observe them." He opened the suitcase, took out two herbs, and handed them to Savarin : "Take it for an antibacterial experiment."

The monthly income of 400 crowns made Savarin the most loyal backbone of the laboratory, and Mattik paid 100 crowns for his hard work.

These antibacterial experiments started as early as half a month ago, and they were still looking for compounds that might become antibiotics in accordance with the ex vivo animal experiment model. 【4】

"You have already started to find ways to resist antibiotics?" Carvey's bold and illogical way of thinking surprised Koch. "You don't even really know whether these diseases are caused by microorganisms."

"Although the sample data is limited, I have made it clear, but no one believes it." Carvey looked calm, "After arguing with them for so long, I found that any argument is futile. The best way is to deal with yourself patients, and then publish related papers, and finally the whole world has to accept this fact.”

"too crazy!"

Koch found it hard to believe that a freshman who had just entered the University of Vienna's medical school would openly oppose the "miasma theory", but he could behave so calmly after facing overwhelming opposition: "Professor Bill Roth is not only a professor of anatomy, At the same time, he is also the vice president of the School of Surgery."

This is a candidate that Watman had scouted as early as last year, and was specially poached from the University of Zurich. 【5】

As soon as he came to Vienna, he was dragged by Watman to watch Kavey's cesarean section. He praised the surgical skills, but he abandoned the complicated disinfection work before the operation.In particular, the rubber gloves that Kavey wears on his hands and the cloth mask that covers his mouth and nose are understood by him as eye-catching exaggerated operations, which have no meaning of existence.

"Deputy President Bill Roth is very remarkable." Carvey is also a doctor who has learned Bill Roth's subtotal gastrectomy operation, so naturally he will not speak ill of the sage, "But this does not affect my refutation of his point of view."

Microbiological viewpoints, bacteriostasis experiments, cesarean section, and preoperative disinfection measures are all things that Koch is interested in: "I will stay in Vienna for two months. If I have free time during this time, I can come to you Do you want to visit the laboratory? If you don't mind, I can also help. "

Big fish hooked?
Carvey was ecstatic in his heart, but his face remained calm, and there was only some reaction at the corner of his mouth: "Of course."

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

"If you don't dislike it, I hope Mr. Koch can stay in my laboratory forever."

This sentence greatly exceeded Koch's expectations, because there are so many medical doctors, his confusion about his work is not only about his own development direction, but also about his own ability.

Unlike Austria, German universities have long been open to the public.

Koch has no prominent family background and no money. Although he has a good education, he is still the son of a miner after all.The requirements of a physician are too high, and he is not qualified.The number of surgeons in Berlin is almost saturated, and it is difficult for ordinary doctors without backers and money to gain a foothold there.

His preferred place of work is still Berlin. Because of his interest in microbes, Koch also wants to develop in chemistry: "I wrote a letter of recommendation to the Institute of Chemistry in Berlin last month, and Adolf von Baie from the laboratory Professor Er’s recommendation should not be a problem.”

The German chemical industry in the 19th century was top-notch in the world, and working at the Berlin Institute of Chemistry meant standing on top of the world.

Carvey's laboratory is obviously much shabby, and the hardware is not comparable at all, but he still wants to strive for it as much as possible: "In a while, my laboratory will move to the outskirts of Vienna. Not only will the area quadruple, but also new Added a lot of technicians”

Koch shook his head and refused: "I'm really sorry, I still prefer to work in Berlin."

"I can give you a good salary, how about 600 crowns per month?"

"???"

The numbers hit Savarin and Mattick's fragile nerves, and they turned their heads one after another: "So many?"

"The other party can enter the Berlin Institute of Chemistry, how do you compare?"

Now that Carvey is backed by pharmaceutical companies and patents, money is no longer a problem.But Koch is obviously not interested in money like him: "The Institute of Chemical Engineering has Professor Beyer's recommendation, and I can't give up, so."

Still a step too late.

Carvey saw his embarrassment, so he could only sigh lightly and stop pestering him.

Not being able to get Koch's help is a great loss to Kawi and to Austria.Carvey looked a little frustrated, but the smile on his face remained: "So it's a pity, but I still wish you a happy work in the Institute of Chemistry."

"Thank you."

The two talked about each other's views on microorganisms, and then exchanged some verification experiments on microorganisms.

From the point of view of microorganisms, Koch is still very immature, and there is still a long way to go before he can "conquer the microcosm" and "the originator of bacteriology".Carvey originally wanted to shorten the process of him bumping into a wall and detour, but now it seems a bit difficult.

But Carvey has not given up. Koch needs to visit Vienna for two months. The only thing he can do now is to change his decision in the next two months.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, several people in the laboratory had a simple dinner, and when they were about to continue to accelerate the experiment, there was a knock on the door outside the room.

Standing at the door was Werther who had just returned from the pharmaceutical factory.

Carvey was a little surprised: "Sergeant Witt, how did you find this place? The evidence collection of the pharmaceutical factory is over?"

"It's over." Witt glanced at the laboratory for a while, and his eyes quickly returned to Carvey's face, "Dr. Carvey, if you can, please come with me."

"Huh? I haven't committed any crimes. Why did you arrest me?"

"I'm not arresting you, but I hope you can help with the investigation." Werther stepped forward and said softly, "Those riding boots have been verified by many sources and indeed belong to Mr. Albert. Unless he bought new shoes, the legs in the shoes will also be It should be his."

　You don't need to care about my update time. If the time is early in the morning, you usually wake up in the middle of the night, and you have already slept before.Surgeons can live to my age, so they naturally have a rest method that suits them.

　　ps: Carvey's papers should be released on Monday or Tuesday, two papers, one on thermometer and one on microorganism, of course, if time permits.
