It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 299 This magician, you are poisoned!

"It's so difficult to make mold into medicine..."

"Yeah, it's very difficult."

"Totally clueless."

"Yeah, the difficulty is extremely high."

Gretel and Master Morton sat shoulder to shoulder in front of seventeen or eight dead rabbits, sighing one after another.Master Morton sighed because the project was too difficult, and Gretel sighed because making penicillin was too troublesome!

"Old Morton!" Another magician came in.On the badge on the chest, three gold stars flashed, obviously a thirteenth-level boss.Gretel quickly stood up and saluted: "Your Excellency Novak!"

"Little Gretel? Why are you here?" The visitor paused.The last time Aurora tossed chlorine gas and poisoned himself, he was the one who came to rescue him, and he had a chance encounter with Gretel.He looked Gretel up and down, and smiled slightly:

"Oh, I remembered, the penicillium project is yours. ——I asked you to come to me when you were free, why didn't you come?"

Gretel could only smile at him.Pointing to the dead rabbit on the ground, the voice was weak:
"Busy, busy..."

"It's really busy, this project is not easy." Archmage Novak sighed.He turned to Old Morton and asked:
"How much success rate of spells have you achieved? I only have 10% here..."

This is even worse.Gretel almost covered his face, listening to the two archmages talking to each other, exchanging spellcasting experience:

"The selection of Penicillium is a difficult problem."

"Yes, you must control the time well. According to the current experience, if you cast the spell 3 to 5 hours after you buy it, the death rate of the rabbit is the lowest."

"The output of magic power should also be well controlled... Hey, I have a model curve here, can you see if it works..."

Gretel covered his face when he heard it.You two big brothers, when you use Penicillium to cast spells, you don't consider its active ingredient content at all!
"Old Morton!" Another person walked in quickly from outside.Stepping into the room, seeing the dead rabbits all over the floor, he immediately showed a gloating smile:

"Hahaha, you can't do it either! By the way, have you ever tried to extract the solution from Penicillium?"

"I tried it!" The two archmages replied in unison: "But it didn't work at all! The efficiency of casting spells plummeted!"

This time, Gretel really started to cover his face.

Yes, penicillin is very unstable in aqueous solution.When encountering acid and alkali, it will accelerate its decomposition. Even if nothing is added, it will decompose by itself after a long time in water.Not to mention the reduction in the efficacy of the medicine, the ingredients that cause allergies will also increase. Imagine that half of the medicine liquid is allergic ingredients...

Oh yeah.

Pushing a tube of liquid medicine, or throwing a magic spell, let alone the healing effect, the death effect is proper!
The newcomer didn't notice him, and was still complaining to old Morton:
"I said, you're not kidding me, are you? Who is this—Great Nordmark—his project is simply too difficult, and his thinking is completely different from others, and the points to be paid attention to are completely different.

What kind of high temperature sterilization, what kind of purification and breeding, are all unheard of things!We use the usual method, those spell models, magic shocks, everything can't be used!If there are his projects in the future, you can do it yourself, don't pull me! "

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Master Novak winked at the side, almost coughing out his lungs.And Gretel stood beside the rabbit cage, revealing an embarrassed but polite smile, and concealed a little smug smile...

I just want you to stay away!Knowing that my project is not easy to do, no one will try to steal it!

In fact, Gretel hasn't spent much energy on penicillin recently.Because of penicillin medicine, or penicillin sodium, he is really about to make it.In other words, if purity is not required, he has already made it——

It is nothing more than allowing Penicillium to fully multiply in the culture medium, ferment, centrifuge, and filter to obtain a solution.Then, pour sodium hydroxide into it to get penicillin sodium, and then crystallize it.Penicillin drug, done!
The problem now is that without pretreatment of the fermentation broth, extraction with butyl acetate, back extraction, and decolorization with activated carbon, the purity of penicillin sodium obtained is very impressive.Then, the ability of Penicillium to produce penicillin is also very touching...

The latter is also relatively easy to solve.Gretel arranged for four priest apprentices from the God of Nature Church to concentrate on cultivating Penicillium, targeted mutagenesis, and must produce the highest-yielding penicillin.As for the former, Gretel knows how to do it, but he has no conditions...

"It's too difficult to purify... I want yellow blood salt, I want phosphate, I want flocculant... I want butyl acetate for extraction... By the way, how to make butyl acetate..."

Gretel hugged his head and sighed.In fact, he came to the summit today with a second mission:
Someone has made a rectifier that converts AC to DC, and he needs to receive it...

"Hey, having a rectifier is also a good thing. At the very least, I can make my own bleach instead of renting the Thunder Tower all day long." Gretel muttered as he stepped into the laboratory of Archmage Carlisle.I don’t know who made the rectifier, which school is it?
What kind of thinking did you come up with?brush?diode?What is the capacity?If it is big enough, maybe the reservoir of the drinking water source can be installed with a hydroelectric generator, and the rectifier can be installed...

Gretel was thinking wildly, and walked slowly inside.In the laboratory, thin electric arcs are shining everywhere, which has a bit of post-modern cyberpunk taste.He is already considered a celebrity in the Archmage Carlisle, and most of the students who come and go know each other, and from time to time someone greets him from afar.

Gretel carefully bypassed a grid—it was a real grid, with blue and white arcs intertwined in the void, forming a net naturally—and then bypassed a group of ball lightning that was running happily.This laboratory is really too dangerous, even if he is covered with all kinds of defensive magic, he dare not run around...

Follow Aurora who leads the way carefully.Dodging left and right, moving erratically, finally reached the core part of the laboratory.At first glance, I saw that on the experimental table with the largest area and the most unknown magic devices, a hand-cranked generator was placed right in the middle.

This is to be verified!Gretel walked up quickly.On both sides of the hand generator, one left and one right, stood two magicians.The one on the left is naturally Archmage Carlisle, while the one on the right has a sad face, rough and cracked hands, more like a worker than a caster, obviously the inventor of this rectifier...

"You are here." Archmage Carlisle nodded to him with a pleasant face.Then point to the right:
"This is Mr. Christopher Norwood, Department of Transformation, third-ring Arcanist, fourth-level mage. He has already made the rectifier you want. Would you like to inspect it?"

Gretel stepped forward to shake hands with each other.Mr. Norwood's hair is a little gray, and his outstretched hand trembles slightly:

"Hello, hello... I have already made the rectifier. If you have seen it, there is no problem, and I can get paid - [-] contribution points!"

The last sentence was suddenly raised, the voice was sharp, and the eyes were so bright that they were about to shoot out.Gretel didn't bother to get closer, but he leaned back because of the bad breath in his mouth.In an instant, the premonition of being a doctor began to desperately call the police to him:
has a problem!
There is something wrong with this person!

Out of a doctor's instinct, Gretel nodded again and again, following the other person's words to comfort him:
"Okay, okay, I'll take a look at what you've made first. - Already connected?"

"Yes, it's connected." Archmage Carlisle gestured.Gretel leaned over to look, and there was a small glass vessel connected to the circuit, shaped like a pear, with a puddle of glistening mercury sinking underneath.Two wires extend below the surface of the mercury, and a few thin graphite rods are embedded in the upper part of the glass vessel, which fit perfectly with the glass.

This is……

Mercury arc rectifier!

What an old thing, it has been obsolete for more than half a century in the previous life, right?
Gretel suddenly turned his head and looked at the gray-haired alchemist.At the same moment, Archmage Carlisle pointed out, and the handle of the generator started to rotate.Once, twice... until a group of afterimages appeared, the glass dish was still quiet, and no sparks could be seen.

"Why is there no response?"

Gretel muttered softly.However, this low sentence has already ignited the alchemist.Master Norwood immediately became anxious, baring his teeth and claws, and rushed forward:

"Impossible! I made it good! You used it before and said it was good! Don't even think about losing my contribution points! Five thousand points!"

His voice was high and sharp, and his eyelids and fingers were trembling constantly.The alarm sound in Gretel's heart became more and more intense. After thinking for a moment, he suggested:
"Maybe the current is not strong enough? Or... make a current first and try?"

"It's possible." Archmage Carlisle snapped his fingers, and an electric arc burst out in the glass dish instantly.The whole circuit seemed to have been opened up in an instant, the glass dish buzzed and trembled, and the blue light inside was shining, and the scene was cool and magical.Master Norwood stopped immediately, stood there for a while, and clapped his hands:
"Hey! Alright! This is it!"

This is it!Gretel clenched his fist.Sure enough, his impression was correct. The trigger power of the mercury arc rectifier is relatively large, and the current of the hand generator may be too small to make it work...

But that's okay, the big deal is to make the generator bigger!
Archmage Carlisle also showed joy.Gretel wanted to join them, but the doctor's instinct made him pull Master Norwood back again and again, all the way to the corner, and immediately said:

"You are poisoned!"

"What?" The alchemist was taken aback.Then he became furious:
"What poisoning! I'm not poisoned! Let me tell you, don't try to deduct my money based on this!"

"You use mercury in this rectifier! Excessive mercury contact with the skin, or inhalation of mercury vapor, will cause poisoning. Don't tell me you don't know!" Gretel squirted back:

"Do you often have dizziness, headaches, and nausea recently! Do you often have heart palpitations, moodiness, and insomnia at night! Do you have more ulcers in your mouth and loose teeth? Do your hands shake when you are working!"

I hate disobedient patients the most!I hate patients who desperately deny their condition the most!

A patient should behave like a patient!
Compared with the rectifier, it is more important to treat the disease first!
