The Troublesome Hero Among the Heroes

In order to deal with possible murloc attacks, Xueling Village began to repair stone walls and build new guard towers and shelters under the guidance and help of the military.

According to the plan, outposts will be built on hilltops and road junctions within five kilometers of the village to provide early warning for the village. The stone wall of the village is heightened and thickened on the original foundation, and a defensive array is set. Find several suitable places outside the village to build hidden shelters so that children can take refuge before the battle begins.

At noon one day, Charles followed the squad's comrades out of the jungle in the west. In front of them was a group of Xueling Village militiamen leading the way.

Each elves of this squad Wuli carry a huge basket, and it can be seen that the weight of the basket is not light.

Now the outside of the village has become a huge construction site, where the villagers and warriors ding ding dong dong will trim the stones mined from the mountain into the required shape.

A row of large pots are lined up near the stone wall. Many pots are burning firewood, and the pots are steaming white. There are young elves stirring the pots with long sticks. thing.

˂(‾_‾)˃ づ⊂⌒ꙭ

Under the leadership of Woodward, the elves who have just returned poured the fresh slime body in the basket on their backs On the clearing not far from the pot.

(≖‿≖)۶⌒ꙮ

And Charles flicked his hand, and more slime bodies poured out from his storage ring.

The villagers who had been waiting for them to return immediately took these slime corpses into an empty pot on the side, cut them into pieces, and smashed them, and then pressed the crushed quicklime, clay powder and fine sand. Pour the proportions into the pot.

The villagers ignited the firewood at the bottom of the pot and stirred them with wooden sticks at the same time to make the various materials evenly mixed and prevent the bottom from sticking.

After the slime is boiled dry, the slime mortar will be used to bond the stones of the stone wall.

Before the advent of cement, there were even slime bricks made in a similar way. Although its strength is limited, its waterproof effect is very good.

And Charles even heard that dwarves are studying how to add cooked and denatured slime to cement to make waterproof materials.

Today's task is completed, Charles breathed a sigh of relief. They take a break in the afternoon, and then go to the woods to the west tomorrow morning to catch slime.

"Charles!" Someone called him not far from Charles.

Charles looked over and found an elderly elf with white hair moving towards him and beckoning.

He immediately ran all the way to the old elf, "Mr. Fleming, why are you here?"

Fleming grabbed Charles' Hand, drag him to the village, "I've been waiting for you for a while. I heard that you are free in the afternoon, so I will take you to see my research results now."

See here Charles can only follow him.

When Charles and they first came here that day, this Fleming inquired all the way to find him. Then Fleming said that he had an extremely great project and wanted to ask Charles to report it to Queen Victoria.

At first Charles thought he had encountered a liar, but only after asking the village head, and getting the village head’s assurance that Fleming had been studying what they didn’t know, Charles agreed. Go and take a look.

According to Queen Victoria’s proposal, “According to domestic and foreign market needs, we will give full play to the advantages of local resources, so that one or several villages will have one or several leading products with great market potential, obvious regional characteristics and high added value. With the policy of “Harmony Industry”, Xueling Village now mainly produces spider silk.

Here, the specially selected spider will lie in a small cage under the control of the trainer when taking the silk. The worker first takes a roller at the spinning machine at the end of the spider’s tail section. There is a bit of spider silk there, and then the spider is properly stimulated so that while it produces silk, the worker rotates the drum to collect the silk.

And between the spider and the drum is a kettle similar to a teapot, the spider silk that has just been produced loses its stickiness after passing through the steam from the kettle.

The spiders are usually treated well. The chrysalis they ate that day was also a delicious meal for the spiders. The spiders would go to the woods in the surrounding mountains for two days every three days of silk.

At the same time, the spider silk that they spit out when they are letting out the wind also has other uses.

Fleming's family runs a spider silk workshop. After giving the workshop to the child many years ago, he did his own research all day long.

He found that Charles was interested in the production of spider silk, so he took Charles around the workshop first.

Finally, they came to the place where the spiders were raised. It was like a chicken farm. The spiders lived in stacked cages.

Here, workers happen to choose suitable spiders to mate.

Fleming took Charles to the spider cage in a separate room next door, put on his gloves, opened the cage and took out a volleyball-sized spider, and then confronted Charles. Said: "Look at its carapace."

Charles moved his head over and saw a spot on the black and white spider carapace that seemed to have red fluff. He took a closer look and found that the red was not fluff, but a kind of fungus hyphae.

Fleming explained to him: "This spider is infected with red hair fungus. This fungus is difficult to eradicate. They will make the spider feel uncomfortable. In severe cases, it will cause the spider to die."

Then he took out a few more spiders, all of which were infected with several kinds of fungi.

Then he took Charles to the cage across the room, and took out a spider inside to show Charles.

At this moment, Charles narrowed his eyes, and he saw the point all at once.

The carapace and abdomen of this languid-looking spider are almost covered with red hair fungus, but there is a green mycelium growing on its abdomen, and between the two colors of hyphae It's a clearing.

"Antibiotics!"

Charles almost jumped up.

His Elvish language is used as a textbook from Halkara's pharmacy books, so he knows a lot of medical knowledge.

In addition to disinfecting the infected place with various methods, the method of treating infection in this world is mainly to enhance the body's immunity through medicine, magic or divine technique, and let the body's own immune system eliminate invaders. .

However, the bacteria in this world are not to be trifled with. Some bacteria even carry a trace of magic power. The general method can't kill them, so whoever makes sense.

Bacteria often start a tug-of-war with the host's immune system in the human body, making the host chronically ill. More seriously, some hosts were killed by bacteria before their resistance was pulled up.

If antibiotics are available, it would be much easier to handle. At least the bacteria without magic power can be solved. After all, these bacteria are more common.

Fleming's subsequent explanation confirmed Charles's idea. He introduced to Charles that he had discovered that this green fungus secreted a substance that could kill other bacteria around it when it multiplied.

Then he took Charles to a laboratory not far away, where the temperature was a little higher than outside, and a shelf was filled with round petri dishes.

Under Fleming’s introduction, Charles saw that he had done a lot of experiments, that the green antibiotic secreted by the mold can kill many kinds of bacteria.

Fleming then handed Charles a stack of materials. It was an animal experiment of this green bacterial secretion extract. The average livestock and poultry did not have any adverse reactions to this antibiotic.

Charles, who knows nothing about antibiotics, barely spoke during the whole process, just listening to Fleming’s introduction carefully, and only when the other party uses some technical terms that he doesn’t know, will he ask in detail what those words are mean.

Tat first is the blessing of learning Elvish from the pharmacy books of Harkala. He understands most medical terms.

Charles doesn't know how to get antibiotics. His knowledge, plug-ins and cheat are not helpful in this regard. He only remembers that the raw material for penicillin in his hometown is related to corn starch.

But now this green bacteria grows on spiders, it is still a question whether we can apply cornstarch. What if people can reproduce through slime?

Charles adhering to the concept of "shut up if you don’t understand" didn’t speak much after listening to Fleming’s introduction. Instead, he borrowed his desk to help him write a letter of introduction and put him here. Write everything you have seen, heard, and a little bit of your own thoughts about "antibiotics" in it, and then let Fleming take the letter to Durian City to find old Charles.

Xiao Yao believes that old Charles can see the value.
