Chapter 323 Penicillin is more important

"The power of two people is limited. The responsibility for this lies with me. From the beginning, I needed to realize that penicillin is a drug that needs more people to participate in order to be better presented."

Bao Guowei said sincerely.

In fact, when it comes to the invention of penicillin, Bao Guowei was not the first to do so in 1930.

As early as last year, British scientist Fleming accidentally discovered the characteristics of penicillin mold, but he had not found a method to extract high-purity penicillin and mass produce it.

In a sense, what Bao Guowei brought to this time and space was the mature technology for purifying and manufacturing penicillin.

But this is crazy enough, enough for three people to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

Therefore, penicillin itself is not a secret. The complete method of preparing penicillin and the experience accumulated by Fang Xinchuan and Tang Feifan under the guidance of Bao Guowei are the most valuable experience.

Science itself is the result of countless trial and errors, and Bao Guowei, who came from later generations, used his own experience and so-called "immature suggestions" to clear the obstacles for the two people's research.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the two of them, who lacked both personnel and funds, to conduct research so quickly.

But even so, there is still a long way to go before penicillin can be truly used as a medicine.

Therefore, Bao Guowei thought of this organization - "Huaxia Science Society".

As the first modern scientific academic group in Chinese history, the Chinese Scientific Society is indispensable in the history of modern science.

In 1914, the Chinese Science Society was founded in the United States, and its initial members were Chinese students studying at Cornell University.

Including but not limited to Zhao Yuanren, Ren Hongjun, Yang Quan and other famous scientists.

At the beginning, the Chinese Science Society was established for the purpose of publishing the monthly magazine "Science", and later it grew in number of members.

When patriotic scientists gathered together, they set a more ambitious goal.

"Contact comrades from all over the world to work together for the development of Chinese science!"

"Use the effects of scientific inventions in everyday life and impact the national economy and people's livelihood!"

and many more.

Bao Guowei thought about the deeds of these people in his mind. Looking at the life trajectories of these members, it can be said that they are basically closely linked to the revitalization of China.

In particular, the current president, Mr. Zhu Kezhen, is the founder of modern Chinese geography and meteorology. There is no doubt that we can give 100,000% trust to these modern pillars of the country.

Moreover, they do not need all the members of the scientific society, as long as some relevant experts in biology and chemistry join the research.

The probability of leakage can be minimized to the greatest extent.

After Bao Guowei talked to the two of them, Tang Feifan's face showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"What's wrong? Don't you two gentlemen know about this organization?"

Bao Guowei was a little surprised. Logically speaking, this kind of scientific organization should be very famous, but the two scientists seemed very surprised.

Fang Xinchuan replied, "It's not that I haven't heard of it, but this kind of organization usually has an internal invitation system. Brother Feifan and I, one just came back from abroad, and the other has been in Hangzhou for many years. We rarely come into contact with other professors. I have heard of it, but I don't know the internal situation."

Now Bao Guowei understood that the two people in front of him were socially anxious people in the scientific community. They rarely participated in research groups and so had no chance to join such organizations.

After settling down in Shanghai to conduct research, I stayed in the laboratory all year round, not to mention joining any scientific society.

"Does Bingwen know him?" Tang Feifan frowned. From what he knew, the Chinese Science Society did have a good reputation.

"I don't know him." Bao Guowei shook his head and said firmly, "But I can find trustworthy scientists in this organization to help us."

Why is Bao Guowei so sure?
Tang Feifan and Fang Xinchuan didn’t know, all they knew was that what this kid said was never wrong.

Just be clear about your goals, why bother yourself with the reasons?

It was already evening when we finished the meeting in the laboratory.

Fang Xinchuan very hospitably invited Bao Guowei to "have dinner" with them.

I thought the two would go to the cafeteria of Tongji University to eat, but unexpectedly Fang Xinchuan took Bao Guowei to the backyard, opened a big pot and said.

"Bingwen, don't underestimate us. Brother Feifan and I may not be as talented as you in researching penicillin, but we do have some talent in cooking."

Seeing the other party's smug look, Bao Guowei looked into the big pot curiously, and saw all kinds of messy vegetables mixed together, with a few pieces of fatty pork, making a big pot of noodles.

The noodles were stewed for too long and became a mess, just like the dark cuisine of later Indians.

I don't know where Fang Xinchuan got his confidence from. But Tang Feifan didn't seem to care at all. He took out a large bowl from the side, which was as big as his face, and filled it with a big bowl of noodles with a smile, and started to eat it.

Bao Guowei was speechless.

"You two don't have enough funds? I remember that I withdrew 20,000 silver dollars from you earlier. Why don't you eat something good?"

As for research funds, Bao Guowei gave the profits from his previous cooperation with Wing On Department Store on masks and with Xiang Songmao on allicin pharmaceutical production to the research work of these two people.

Bao Guowei was not stingy with money when it came to the development of penicillin.

So, where did all this money go for these two people?
Hearing Bao Guowei's evaluation, Fang Xinchuan suddenly became unhappy. He pointed at the noodles in the big pot and said.

"Bingwen, I'm not happy with what you said. We didn't skimp on our food. As biologists, we all know the importance of keeping healthy. Look at these green vegetables and radishes. We bought them from the street. And this fatty pork is something that ordinary people can't afford. Compared to them, we eat very well."

After hearing what the other party said, Bao Guowei was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had fallen into a cognitive error.

Perhaps in this era, this pot of soup has become a rare delicacy.

Time was tight, so when Bao Guowei went out, he planned to go to Datong University to visit the Chinese Science Society and seek help from more scientists.

When the Science Society moved back to China in 1918, its headquarters was established in Shanghai, and Datong University was one of its important offices.

Bao Guowei might be able to meet Mr. Zhu Kezhen, the pillar of the country, there.

When leaving, Tang Feifan mentioned the issue of penicillin confidentiality again.

"Bingwen, you don't have to worry about the confidentiality issue. I have figured it out. Since penicillin has been invented, there is no reason to hide it.

Whether he is good or bad, he is a medicine that can save thousands of lives.

My only hope is that even if foreigners master the production of penicillin, we can also realize mass production ourselves, after all, this is a drug developed by our own people. "

Bao Guowei stopped and was stunned for a moment. He grasped a lot from the other party's words.

Then he thought a lot in his head.

Tang Feifan was right. As long as penicillin was developed, it would inevitably be acquired by other countries.

In later generations, even developed countries with absolute power would not be able to guard against a technology.

What’s more, it was the Republic of China period?

So, instead of always worrying about the leak of penicillin.

It would be better to take advantage of the first-mover advantage, realize mass production ahead of schedule, benefit more Chinese people in advance, and form a virtuous circle based on pharmaceutical manufacturing.

With our own vision and a group of outstanding scientists, in the future, not only penicillin but more antibiotics will be developed.

With mass production, countless ordinary people and countless patriotic heroes will be saved.

There is almost a year left.

Bao Guowei thought of the national tragedy next year.

He cupped his hands and said to Tang Feifan, "Sir, you have inspired me. It seems that we need to explore another track for the research and development of penicillin."

Fang Xinchuan nodded and said.

"We are good at developing medicines, but if we want to open a factory, we need to negotiate with officials and foreigners. It would be best for you to leave it to Bao Guowei!"

When they walked out of Tongji University, Bao Guowei got into the car and Cao Yanhai drove in front. Although it was dark, they still drove towards Datong University.

While riding in the car, an idea slowly began to emerge in his mind.

Find a safe place, preferably one that won't be affected by the fighting.

We need to build an effective production line and produce large quantities of antibiotics on our own.

It is even possible to have a group of armed forces to help you.

Today, Bao Guowei has enough funds, but there is still a long way to go to truly achieve the above goals.

Of course, the most important thing now is to promote the success of penicillin experiments.

Let Zhang Taiyan cure the disease with medicine!
