Chapter 45: Liquid Gold
,
spn Xiaoqingshan Biological Breeding Base, Zou Shuming followed Zhang Shusheng and underwent two levels of extremely strict inspections and passed through a gloomy and slender corridor before entering the base.
What surprised him was that a greenhouse could be built here, and there was even a thermostatic greenhouse that was very difficult to build. [Search for the latest updates here]
Compared to Zou Shuming, Zhou Zikai is also an uncompromising workaholic. He lives alone in the base even though he is alone.
Even though Lishuping has more and more products and is becoming more and more prosperous, with several streets filled with business stalls, he has never gone shopping once. Apart from his assistant, the only people Zhou Zikai has contact with are
Zhang Shusheng and the guards who never had anything to say.
"Shu Ming, this is the patriotic scholar I just hired, Zou Shuming. He also studied in the United States. Let's get to know each other." Zhang Shusheng took Zou Shuming and changed into clean clothes with the help of two base assistants.
After waiting outside the constant-temperature greenhouse for a long time, I saw Zhou Zikai coming out.[
"Manager!" Zhou Zikai never seemed to be understanding of people, and he never thought that he had been kept waiting for a long time. For him, time was a cycle of research and experiment. He turned to Zou Shuming, regardless of whether there was still mud on his hand, and stretched out his hand.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Zikai. Congratulations on leaving the damn United States and returning to your mother's arms."
Zhang Shusheng smiled faintly, but he didn't expect that Zhou Zikai also had an emotional side.
"Harvard Medical School, Cell and Biology, Zou Shuming, I hope we can have a happy cooperation in the future." Zou Shuming did not specifically mention the name of the school, but he just didn't want the other party to look down on him and affect future cooperation.
"Yale University, genetics, Zhou Zikai."
The two of them greeted each other, and Zhou Zikai took the three of them to another larger indoor planting farm. Compared to the scorching heat outside, instead of taking cooling measures, there was a water-splashed charcoal stove for heating.
It's much hotter than outside.
There is only one vine crop in the greenhouse. There are small green melons growing on the vines. They look very much like small cantaloupes, but they look nothing like them if you look closely.
Zhou Zikai looked at Zhang Shusheng, and the manager nodded and said, "Shu Ming, look. This is a new variety of melon introduced by the manager from an island. The manager named it Qingmei melon. After the manager personally
As an assistant, during an experiment on the decay of green fruit, I found that it produced a strange substance after mixing it with corn syrup, and this magical substance can actually kill Staphylococcus aureus..."
"What???"
Zhou Zikai's understatement struck Zou Shuming like a thunderbolt. As a cell and biology scholar, he knew very well what it would mean if Staphylococcus aureus could be killed by an unknown substance. It might mean an epoch-making
The discovery of bactericidal substances.
"Take me to the laboratory quickly. Zikai, you may have encountered an epoch-making discovery."
So, a plant geneticist and a cell and biology scholar left Zhang Shusheng alone and flew to the laboratory. Across the door, Zhang Shusheng did not go in. He was operating alone and already knew the results.
Just today, a miraculous substance will be officially discovered by the scholars of this era, and the man responsible for mixing the biobase of melon and corn syrup will only provide them with a pair of God's hands.
I really know nothing about science. I can use the Dream Machine to synthesize ready-made penicillin, but I can't synthesize it on a large scale. The real large-scale production of penicillin depends on the person inside who is already so excited that his whole face is deformed.
Zou Shuming got in front of the microscope and never wanted to leave.
He and Zhou Zikai will receive numerous honors in a long, long time. Maybe they will also mention the manager who mixed the two things together. But after they enjoy these honors, they will make more contributions and eliminate bacteria.
Biology, genetics, etc., have developed to a level that is difficult for other countries to reach in China, which was once a poor country.
"Come here, let's inform Hua Yuwei, scholar Zou Shuming's wife, that he won't be going back tonight and will spend the night in the laboratory. Remember to bring an extra blanket for overnight use." He walked outside the base and faced the rising stars.
, Zhang Shusheng was thinking, the lucky me has really changed a lot of things. But these lucky people who are lucky because of themselves are also their own blessing and destiny.
If he traveled back in time and took a nap under Newton's tree and reached out to catch the apple, wouldn't Newton be able to discover gravity? In fact, another person like "Yang Dun" would also have discovered it.
If he had traveled back in time to the Leaning Tower of Italy experiment and reached out to grab the falling iron ball, would Galileo have been able to discover the law of free fall? Another person would have also discovered it.
What I have changed are only the small details of history, but the real general trend of history is affected by the times. Precisely because the technology of this era has advanced to a considerable level, the discovery of penicillin became a matter of time.
It's just that this process has a pair of golden hands, and it changes it with a gentle touch.[
Giving a straw bag a bunch of scientific and technological information will never make a difference. Giving a scientist the corresponding scientific and technological information may create a complete scientific and technological chain. While they enjoy the honor, they also shoulder the responsibility of being a technological leader.
Zhang Shusheng came to the breeding base again the next day and found that the two people inside were still busy. Even the assistants were driven away by them, and no one touched the rice placed at the door.
Although Zhou Zikai was not a professional biologist, being told by Zou Shuming was like a revelation, and he understood how great the impact this substance would have on mankind once it was confirmed and refined.
In the laboratory, the two of them stayed together. When they were really hungry, they ate a few mouthfuls of cold food at the door, then casually sat on the chairs and worked overtime to do experiments for four whole nights.
Morning of the fifth day
"Well, experiment..." Zou Shuming opened his blood-red eyes in a daze, feeling dry and aching. He struggled to walk to the microscope, turned on the observation light, and took a closer look. His confused mind was suddenly awakened.
"Zikai, Zikai, come on, come and see."
At noon, after Zhang Shusheng arrived after receiving the report, the two exhausted scholars burst into tears of joy. Facing the manager, Zou Shuming actually cried.
"Shu Ming, you are too tired, why don't you go back and rest first." Zhang Shusheng was also very excited. This Zou Shuming is really powerful. In more than two days, he not only identified this special substance in the culture medium, but also preliminarily isolated a small amount of it.
Partially purified liquid.
"Manager, I'm very happy." Zou Shuming pulled Zhou Zikai over, and the two had already forged a profound scientific friendship during these four days and four nights of hard work.
"Manager, this newly discovered substance can indeed kill bacteria. During these four days of experiments, we used several different bacteria as experimental subjects, put in that special substance, and conducted comparative observation experiments. The results are amazing.
I'm very satisfied." Zou Shuming suppressed the excitement in his heart, picked up a small test tube on the table, and said with a trembling voice
Yin said: "This is it, it will change history. It will also save thousands of lives. And this magical substance was not born in a laboratory in the United States, nor in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, or even Russia.
It was born in our Chinese laboratory. I, Zou Shuming, went out and died immediately, and I will never be able to rest in peace for the rest of my life."
"Manager, please name it. This will be our company's second epoch-making discovery after the new rice species. Haha, I, a geneticist, have benefited from the company twice. There is no company.
, without a manager, these accidental and accidental
Even if all the factors are added together, the two inevitable outcomes of new rice and bactericidal substances cannot be achieved." Faced with the huge joy, Zhou Zikai also rarely sighed with emotion, Shusheng Company is really a lucky place, and Zhang Shusheng has great magical powers and is luckier than ever.
Wise leadership.
"This kind of liquid gold is called penicillin." Zhang Shusheng patted the two of them on the shoulders and asked them to sit down. "The Chinese are nicknamed the sick men of East Asia by the foreign devils, which makes people hate and help them. Other aspects are too far away, at least now
In this field of science, the two of you
The efforts of the Chinese people have pushed the Chinese to be at the forefront. What you have to do next is to produce as much of it as possible. The country needs it to treat diseases and save people, and the company needs to sell it to the West at a price comparable to gold, so that people can
Those Westerners who have their eyes high above their heads
, also spent a lot of money to buy our medicines, and used real money willingly to support the expansion of our Shusheng Company and support our Chinese people's own scientific and technological revolution. We did not catch up with the first scientific and technological revolution, and we did not catch up with the second.
But I assure you, there are
One day, I will do whatever it takes to make the Chinese not only catch up with, but even lead the third technological revolution. And new rice and penicillin are just the starting point of all this. However, the old rules and the company's confidentiality system do not allow you to use it in any form.
violation."
"Don't worry, manager. Now I just want to go back and have a good sleep, and then continue to conduct more experiments to demonstrate several mass production processes. Science is all based on analogies. If the manager gets any good ideas from other special channels,
But you must give it to us as soon as possible." Zou Shuming knew that this manager had great powers and could buy technology from any laboratory in the West. Following him in scientific research made people feel at ease.
Zhang Shusheng nodded and asked the guards to help the two men go back to rest, and then ordered to strengthen the surrounding force of the breeding base. Before the underground biological laboratory is built, this place will serve as the main penicillin research center.
He knew in his heart that compared to daily chemical products that could only be mass-produced early next year, penicillin would be effective this year. Faced with all kinds of difficulties like thousands of mountains in this era, he never gave up, but today
It gave him real hope: if penicillin is here, will the rest be far behind?
