Chapter 266 Life and death are impermanent penicillin;
"Have you guys got any brains? Are you out of your mind?" Jiang Ning asked coldly, frowning.

"Sir, sir, the rest of us are just not convinced...I've been upset to see these guys showing off their might."

"If you're dissatisfied, let's hold it in until now? Don't the three of you get into trouble yourself?"

There are clear provisions in the military law that if the military police violate the law, they will know the law and break the law, and the crime will be increased;

The original intention of the two gendarmes was to dissuade and stop violations of the law, which is completely reasonable, but the other party obstructed law enforcement, and committed two major crimes of verbal abuse and violent resistance.

Originally, if they were stopped at that time, it would be considered over, and at most they would "respect" a pack of cigarettes to the two gendarmes, but now it will not end well.

Later, several gendarme reinforcements came and handcuffed the three soldiers of the [-]th Division. The dejected three were escorted into the truck, and then slowly drove to the headquarters of the headquarters.

"At least it's three years and a hundred sticks. This time the ass is blooming. We must be hated so much that we would rather do it like this." A military police sergeant sighed a few words, and then sat down The sidecar motorcycle left.

Impulsiveness is good for a while, but after calming down, you will regret it. However, there is no medicine for regret in the world, otherwise what is the meaning of the law?
Jiang Ning looked at Xiaosong Molizi who was on the side, their eyes met, and the latter quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his head.

"Let's go, and take care of the wound by the way."

There are no antibiotics in these days, and the available antibacterial drug sulfonamide has not yet been widely used. A small trauma may cause infection, and finally be killed by sepsis.

Naturally, Jasmine can't understand Chinese. She only graduated from the Santa Maria Church Primary School and she doesn't even know many Chinese characters. In fact, if she is in a government-run school in Japan, then Chinese characters and ancient poetry are compulsory subjects.

Reluctantly, Jiang Ning took out the notebook she carried with her and wrote a few words, and made a few gestures before she understood the meaning.

Since we were going to Zuckerley General Hospital, it wouldn't hurt to take one more person with us.

In the eyes of Komatsu Jasmine, the off-white collar badge of this young officer is really different.

In the past half a month, she has seen dark green, lilac purple, and jet black, but it is the first time she has seen beige.

Different from the pure white that gives people a sense of nobility and purity, the beige with a hint of creamy yellow makes people feel softer and warmer, just like her current state of mind.

The sidecar motorcycle made a puffing sound and returned to the same way she came.

Founded by two French doctors, Zachary General Hospital was originally a private clinic, but after more than 30 years of development, it has become one of the largest hospitals in the Tokyo public concession.

Because the field hospital focuses more on trauma rescue, more than a dozen severely wounded and sick from the [-]st Marine Regiment were transferred here to receive more comprehensive treatment.

Three people had bacteremia due to trauma infection, four had severe pneumonia, one had acute pancreatitis, one had acute hepatitis, two had severe parasitic diseases, and two had extensive burns, all of which were highly dangerous and fatal diseases without exception.

If it is estimated based on the effectiveness of previous treatments, it would be thankful to be able to survive a quarter in the end.

Nurses walked back and forth carrying trays of medicines. They were dressed in blue-gray clothes with white aprons, their hair was tied behind their heads, and they were wrapped in white scarves.

Jiang Ning, with a dignified expression, walked past the beds one by one, and finally stopped outside the special ward for severe burns—patients with extensive burns all over the body are extremely susceptible to infection and are not allowed to enter. Even the medical staff must be carefully disinfected and sterilized.

Through the glass window, he could see the two bandaged wounded patients sleeping on the hospital bed.

As a military doctor, he has a better understanding of the dangers of the situation. Although he has experienced countless times, he still cannot avoid feeling sad when faced with a powerless situation. The deep sense of powerlessness makes him feel that his heart is being held by an invisible hand. tight.

"Mr. Lieutenant, I'm sorry to inform you that one of the pneumonia patients' condition has worsened again, and he may not survive tonight." A middle-aged French doctor with a stethoscope hanging on his chest said in a deep voice.

The accompanying hospital interpreter repeated this sentence. Hearing this, Jiang Ning asked, "Have you tried your best? Have you tried to 'express your fatigue and calm your illness'?"

"Since he agreed to admit him, he must do his best. Now that the three sulfa drugs are all ineffective, there is nothing we can do. May God bless him."

After a period of application of sulfa drugs, bacteria will develop drug resistance, and it is a special cross-resistance-after a certain type of sulfa drug fails, all other types of sulfa drugs will reduce their effectiveness and become invalid.

"Life and death are impermanent." Jiang Ning sighed in a low voice.

a while.

After filling in the investigation situation against the roster, he walked down the steps step by step in a depressed mood.

Downstairs, Xiaosong Molizi, who had been debrided and bandaged by the nurse, saw him coming down, so she stood up quickly, bowed and said "thank you" in Chinese with a strange tone.

With a heavy heart, Jiang Ning just nodded, and then walked outside the building to prepare to drive back to the station.

Only then did he remember the girl just now, since her palms and knees were injured and it was difficult for her to walk, he should take her back along the way.

The language barrier made him speechless all the way, not to mention that Jiang Ning, who was depressed, didn't want to talk much.

The young girl's clear eyes slightly soothed his gloomy mood, which somewhat made him feel better.

After returning to the headquarters of the First Marine Regiment, he reported the previous incident to Zhou Changfeng who was packing up his personal belongings.

After hearing about the fight, Xie Wancheng was the first to complain: "This is the so-called lard, and I will definitely regret it afterwards."

Zhou Changfeng stared at a group photo, and casually said: "As long as the sample size is large, all kinds of strange things will happen. Let everyone be a warning, don't think of yourself too noble, and don't think of others too low. No matter how you say it, it is not ancient, and human rights must be considered to some extent.”

Xie Wancheng on the side muttered: "But in essence, one is expensive and the other is cheap..."

Zhou Changfeng glanced at him, "Indeed, but superficial respect still has to be given. Most people are easily moved by this kind of appearance, so it can significantly reduce hostility. The cost is small and the profit is large. This is a sure profit. practice."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Jiang Ning who was about to leave with fists in his arms, and asked, "Also, what's wrong with you? It looks sad."

The latter was silent for a few seconds, and replied truthfully: "The dozen or so wounded and sick are not optimistic. I am afraid they will be difficult to treat... Well, it would be great if there is a panacea in the world."

"There will be, and there should be hope in the past two years." Zhou Changfeng said with a smile: "Anyway, you are used to seeing casualties, why are you so depressed today?"

"Dying from a war wound and dying from a serious illness feel very different, and I didn't have much time to think about it when I was fighting."

"Too."

Antibiotics are indeed one of the most important creations in human history. Antibiotics represented by them have increased the average life expectancy of human beings by more than ten years. Humans can finally not worry about being killed by some inconspicuous minor injuries and diseases. .

The story of the discovery of penicillin is well-known. In addition to the climate characteristics of the British Isles, Fleming’s own personality and experience also played a big role, which made him notice his unintentional mistake-the green mold that appeared in the petri dish killed the penicillin. Staphylococcus aureus around died.

Fleming then published his findings in a paper titled "Experimental Findings Concerning the Potential Curative Effects of Penicillin" in the British Journal of Pathology.

However, Fleming himself is only a doctor of medicine. He and his assistants have been unable to find a method to cultivate and purify penicillin on a large scale; at the same time, in mouse experiments, penicillin killed harmless colonies in the mouse intestines and caused death. The reason caused Fleming to stop his research on penicillin.

Up to now, this discovery has not yet attracted people's attention. Some reason is that the rapid development of sulfonamide antibacterial drugs in recent years has attracted the attention and enthusiasm of most practitioners in related industries.

In history, it was not until the eve of the outbreak of the Great War that Howard Florey and Ernst Chain from Oxford University accidentally discovered Fleming's paper published ten years ago, and the two who were aroused decided to study together This is called the property of penicillin.

They quickly verified the surprising properties of penicillin, and then set about solving the extraction and purification problems that Fleming could not overcome.They recruited many girls at very low wages to cultivate Penicillium in bathtubs, bedpans, milk mixers, empty cans, beakers and other strange vessels.

More importantly, biochemist Norman Heatley successfully extracted penicillin from the filtrate using a countercurrent system, which finally gave people a glimpse of hope.

Is this series of processes really as difficult as climbing the sky?That would not be the case, the bigger reason is that these medical scientists have limited resources and energy, and because of the war, the British government has no spare time.

The problem now is that Zhou Changfeng doesn't know if anyone in Daming is doing a similar job.

Daming is so big, with hundreds of colleges and universities, and countless hospitals and clinics, maybe someone happened to read Fleming's paper, and then tried to verify and solve the corresponding problems.

And now there is no Internet and big data, looking for someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It’s okay to propose it yourself, but it’s a bit surprising-you, Qiuba, how do you know biomedicine?
It is reasonable to propose forward-looking weapons and equipment, but the span of biomedicine is still too large, and this cannot be fooled by "occasional self-study".

"Paper, everything is ready, sir, shall we leave now?"

"Okay, let's go."

Although it was estimated that he would not be able to return to China until May or June when he set off, the actual situation was smoother than everyone expected.

The second army will probably continue to be stationed for a period of time, and then other troops will come to take over.

So the day before yesterday Zhou Changfeng tried to apply for a vacation to return home, and was approved without any suspense. Now he can leave the army and return to the capital for a five-day vacation.

Many military officers prefer to travel in fighter jets or bombers, the former being quicker and the latter being safer.

The same is true for Zhou Changfeng, but at present, several fighter and bomber teams of the Air Force have no transfer missions, so he can only take a transport plane full of air mail.

The clouds were very high this evening, and the plane flew smoothly at a cruising altitude of about 4000 meters, and crossed the Daming Sea, which is the East China Sea.

When it approached the land, the cargo plane transformed from the Youyun [-] passenger plane began to descend slowly, and finally broke through the clouds.

The plane is facing the sun in the western sky, looking out through the round window, the coastline is directly below, behind is the sparkling sea reflected by the setting sun, and in front is the vast Shanghai Fucheng District.

Although the altitude was still over a thousand meters at the moment, Zhou Changfeng, who had good eyesight, still saw the outline of the huge battleship on the berth of the shipyard.

One, two, three... The outlines of two battleships and two aircraft carriers are clearly visible, in addition to a series of other medium-sized battleships, such as light cruisers and seaplane carriers.

The Washington Naval Treaty has expired, and the Ming Dynasty Navy, which has obtained additional budget under the Combat Readiness Act, has started an ambitious construction plan—according to the tentative construction plan in the "Navy Ship Warfare Expansion and Construction Draft", nearly [-] ships of various sizes The warships will start working one after another.

2艘新型的四万吨级战列舰、3艘一万四千吨级轻型航空母舰、2艘二万五千吨级航空母舰、3艘轻巡洋舰、16艘驱逐舰、4艘布雷舰、4艘扫雷舰、8艘猎潜舰、9艘登陆舰，还有小型舰艇若干。

The United States on the other side of the ocean is also pursuing the same agenda. Once the famous "Second Vinson Act" is passed, the US Navy will receive a budget of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, expanding its size by at least 20% on the existing basis.

When the sun was half below the horizon, the cargo plane carrying Zhou landed at Gaoqiao Airport.

In order to give a surprise, he didn't send a telegram when he set off, so when someone from Zhou knocked on the door of Xia's house, Xia's father, Xia's mother and Xia Xiaoshi thought it was the late postman.

"This postman is quite dedicated, and the sun is almost setting and he is still delivering letters." Gao Linglu served the dishes and beckoned her daughter to open the door.

Then when she brought the pot of winter melon ribs soup to the dining table, she heard Xia Xiaoshi's exclamation from outside.

Because the first thing she said was that she would return to China in June, and the letters these days did not mention that she would return early, so Zhou Changfeng, who had been an "uninvited guest" once, really shocked Xia Xiaoshi.

Her eyes were full of surprise, her small mouth was slightly opened, and after a few seconds she said in surprise, "Sir?"

"Everything is going well, and these days are considered stable, so I asked for leave and came back for a few days." The smiling Zhou Changfeng patted her on the shoulder, then grabbed her hand and walked into the courtyard.

"Huh? Then...do you still want to go after that?"

"Of course, it is estimated that I will have to stay for another month or so, and wait for the rotation, so I won't be able to elaborate on the rest."

"Ah."

Xiaobie is better than newlyweds, the hard work of teaching and teaching, and the exhaustion of waiting for opportunities are almost wiped out.

Dinner is dinner, but the world of two is the most comfortable and comfortable.

So after a meal, the two of them left Xia's house and returned to their own small house.

Ever since, this is destined to be a night of overtime work all night.
