Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2072, direct title 2
"The emergence of penicillin has given us a way to deal with bacteria and viruses."

Professor Chen explained the working mechanism of penicillin, which also let everyone finally understand why this penicillin can treat many diseases.

It is not just like the magic medicine of quack doctors, but it can really be effective for a variety of diseases infected by bacteria and viruses.

"So, this penicillin is really amazing?"

Emperor Hongzhi immediately understood after listening, and asked after thinking about it.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"This penicillin is really a great invention, and it can even be said to be an epoch-making great progress and discovery."

"Because the emergence of penicillin marks that we have a weapon against bacteria and viruses, and we will no longer be helpless in the face of diseases caused by bacteria and viruses."

"For the most common viral cold, this seemingly insignificant cold is actually very harmful."

"Especially for children with weak resistance, once they get a viral cold, they can only rely on their own body to support them. If they can support them, they can live on. If they can't support them, they will basically die young. of."

"And even if you rely on yourself to support yourself, because you have a fever and the temperature is too high when you catch a cold, if you don't cool down in time, it is very likely to cause damage to the brain and become demented and clumsy."

"My Ming Dynasty, tens of thousands of children die from this viral cold every year."

"In addition, there is pneumonia. Once infected with pneumonia, there is almost no cure. You can only survive on your own, but very few people can survive on their own."

"Pneumonia is one of the common diseases among children, and the mortality rate is very high. Of course, not only children, but even adults have a very high mortality rate."

"In my Ming Dynasty, tens of thousands of children and adults died of pneumonia every year."

"But with penicillin, it's going to be completely different."

"Based on the current treatment situation in the hospital."

"Using penicillin can easily cure viral colds and pneumonia. As long as the drug is used, the condition can be greatly improved. After a few days of medication, pneumonia can be easily cured."

"As for viral colds, use penicillin together with some other medicines, drink plenty of hot water, and it can be cured in a day or two."

"For these two diseases alone, this penicillin can save an unknown number of people every year. Conservatively speaking, it is an underestimation to save hundreds of thousands of people a year."

"In addition, because penicillin can kill bacteria and viruses very well, it also has a great effect on tuberculosis, plague, and tetanus, and can play a very good therapeutic role."

When talking about this, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly interrupted and asked: "Is it also useful for plague?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it also has a very obvious therapeutic effect on the plague. If we had this penicillin last year, then our Daming would have killed a lot of people."

Professor Chen nodded solemnly and said.

"That's really amazing."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately nodded.

Last year's plague caused the entire Ming Dynasty to be precarious. If the most stringent control had not been implemented in the end, this plague may have killed many people.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is a very remarkable invention."

"Like the current surgery, our research found that one of the most important reasons for the failure of surgery is bacterial infection and viral infection. With penicillin, the success rate of our surgery will be greatly improved."

"In addition, if it is on the battlefield, the situation of wounded soldiers dying of tetanus will also be changed, and there will be no need to worry about this problem from now on."

Professor Chen nodded solemnly and replied.

When it comes to tetanus, we have to talk about ancient wars. The arrows used on the battlefield are often rusted on purpose or passed in dung water before the war.

In this way, if the arrow is shot out, as long as it rubs against a person and leaves a wound, it will basically be infected with tetanus, and tetanus can almost always kill the soldier.

For example, Zhang Bao, Zhang Fei's son, fell down while riding a horse and broke his head a little, which directly killed him. In fact, he was infected with tetanus.

There were many similar things in ancient times. Many famous positions and generals in history actually died of tetanus and pneumonia.

Like Chang Yuchun, a general of the Ming Dynasty, because it was too hot to wear armor, he took off his armor to cool off, but when the wind blew, he got pneumonia and burped.

This is ancient times. In the era without antibiotics, when the seasons changed, a gust of cold wind blew, and many people died.

Everyone listened carefully, nodding their heads while listening, and finally understood why Liu Jin said this was a happy event. With this penicillin, many diseases can be easily cured. This is indeed a very remarkable invention.

"The emergence of penicillin can be said to increase the average life expectancy of our Ming Dynasty by 20 years!"

"In the past, when the seasons changed and the weather changed, many people would often fall ill and die of illness. Among them, children with weak resistance were the most common."

"In ancient and modern China and abroad, the mortality rate of children is extremely high. Only [-]% to [-]% of ten children can be raised to adults. A large part of this is due to virus infection. When we are against these viruses, there is nothing we can do. , so you can only rely on your own body's resistance to resist these viruses and bacteria."

"If you get through it, you can survive. If you can't hear it, you will die."

"Not only children, but even adults, a lot of people die every year due to virus infection. This is a very important reason for the short life span since ancient times."

"But with penicillin, many diseases can be easily cured, and the average life expectancy can be greatly improved. From then on, the child mortality rate will be greatly reduced, and the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty will be even greater!"

The more Professor Chen said, the more excited he became. To be honest, the appearance of penicillin also caused a huge sensation in the medical field of Ming Dynasty. Countless doctors found it unbelievable, and then they were ecstatic.

As doctors, they have naturally seen too many, too many lives and deaths.

Most of them are caused by colds, pneumonia, tetanus, etc. With penicillin, these diseases can be easily cured. How can this make everyone very excited?
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty!"

"My Ming has this magical medicine, and it will be even more prosperous!"

Zhong Fan stood up and sent blessings to Emperor Hongzhi.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, His Majesty!"

When the other ministers heard this, they immediately reacted and stood up to express their congratulations.

After listening to Professor Chen's words, everyone understands that this penicillin is not a joke, but a real magic medicine. It is of great significance to Daming. It will greatly improve the medical level of Daming people and increase the average life expectancy of Daming people. This is very important for prosperity. It is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty, which means that the future Ming Dynasty will be more prosperous and prosperous.

"Ha ha!"

Emperor Hongzhi laughed happily when he heard everyone's congratulations.

"Having this magical medicine is my great blessing, and it is a gift from heaven!"

"What's the name of the person who invented this penicillin?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Zhang Xingjian!"

Professor Chen quickly replied.

"This Zhang Xingjian has made such great contributions, and he must be rewarded heavily. This penicillin can save hundreds of thousands of people every year. This merit is immeasurable and the contribution is enormous."

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and asked after thinking about it.

"What Your Majesty said is true, Zhang Xingjian has made great contributions and should be rewarded heavily!"

Liu Jin stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, no matter how rewarding this son's achievements are, it is not too much."

Yang Yiqing also followed suit.

"Your Majesty, using the reward, you should also spread the praises of his achievements to the whole of Daming, and even the whole world."

Yang Tinghe also followed suit.

Although it is said that they are people of the old school, in this respect, the development and progress of medical technology benefits everyone. The ministers of the old school are also human beings, and sometimes they get sick. The progress of medical technology is for everyone. It's also good to take advantage of rewards and support.

"Your Majesty, you should be rewarded!"

The other ministers also spoke one after another.

"Ok!"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, then thought for a while and said, "Zhang Xingjian invented penicillin and saved countless people. He is the Hua Tuo of the present age. He was granted the title of Marquis of the Miraculous Medicine, and he was given a gold medal for avoiding death. He rewarded ten thousand taels of gold and one hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Emperor Hongzhi was also very generous this time, throwing out a marquis directly, and at the same time bestowing a gold medal for avoiding death, which is an unprecedented reward.

You must know that even Liu Jin and Yang Yun did not escape the gold medal. This shows that Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to this matter and was very happy.

This penicillin is of great significance to Daming, of course not only to Daming, it is a milestone for the development of the entire human race, enough to be recorded in the annals of human history.

So even though there were a lot of rewards, Emperor Hongzhi and many ministers felt that this was what Zhang Xingjian deserved.

Inside the laboratory of Daming Medical College.

When the eunuch delivering the imperial decree found Zhang Xingjian, he was still in the laboratory researching the method of large-scale cultivation and production of penicillin.

The effect of penicillin is so great and the effect is so significant that there are too many people who need penicillin.

However, the cultivation, acquisition and purification of penicillin is not an easy task, which caused Zhang Xingjian a great headache. His newly opened penicillin factory has not yet started to produce penicillin, and there are already a large number of orders flying towards him.

The demand is simply too great!
