Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 187 Pang Tong’s Wild Big Goldfish
"Master Bai Gong, this Artemisia annua water is really useful! Some patients have already begun to feel relieved." Zhang Zhongjing said excitedly.

Lao Zhang was the happiest when he saw that the artemisia annua juice squeezed into water was really effective, because it not only meant that the losses of Shouchun soldiers and civilians were reduced, but also meant that in the future, in addition to Shuqi powder, malaria would have another efficiency Prescriptions that are taller and have easier-to-find ingredients.

"I don't dare to be praised by Zhang Laomiao...it's just the right meeting, the right meeting. However, we must pay attention to the hygiene of the sanatorium area, clean up the stagnant water, and prevent the breeding of mosquitoes." Bai Tu showed little interest.

Malaria is mainly spread by mosquitoes. The effect of isolation is actually not that great. The main thing is to repel mosquitoes and maintain hygiene.

"Is Mr. Bai worried about the efficacy of Qinghao water? Hey, it is a blessing among misfortunes to have the current effect. Even if there is enough Shuqi powder, it will not be better than now." Zhang Zhongjing said with relief. .

Sure enough, take a handful of Artemisia annua and two liters of water, grind it up and drink the juice - such a crude extraction has limited effect.

Otherwise, it would not be malaria's turn to continue its rampage for more than 1000 years...

Mr. Zhang also already knows that boiling Artemisia annua is useless. Times and technology have limited the method of cold brewing, and the only way is manual "raw pressing".

"I have a student with a quick mind, maybe he will have a solution." Bai Tu said.

He was still waiting for Pang Tong's reply, although... rationally, Bai Tu already understood that Pang Tong should also be "desperate" about this.

After all, where can ether, gasoline, etc. be made now?
Otherwise, Yuan Shu would have been blown up to the sky by him, and there would be no malaria...

But still holding on to some sentimental fantasies, Ling Bai Tu was still looking forward to Pang Tong's reply.

Zhang Zhongjing did not try to persuade him any more, but instead looked at Bai Tu with relief - if he were a doctor or a disciple of Mr. Zhang, he would definitely change Bai Tu's mentality. After all, doctors are not omnipotent, and it is their duty to be dedicated to every patient. points, but if there is such a big reaction to every incurable patient, then he is not far away from washing his hands in a golden basin.

Modern medicine cannot save all patients, let alone in the late Eastern Han Dynasty?Just do your best and obey fate...

However, Bai Tu is a prince, so Zhang Zhongjing hopes that Bai Tu can maintain it, just like King Xuan of Qi saw that his subordinates were about to slaughter a cow for sacrifice, and he felt distressed when he saw the cow shivering... and asked his subordinates to kill a sheep instead. .

It seems hypocritical to modern people, but stingy to people at that time. After all, sheep were much cheaper than cattle at that time...

But when Mencius heard about it, he gave positive affirmation, thinking that it was an expression of King Qi Xuan's "benevolence".

Just like a gentleman knows how to eat meat, but is unwilling to kill chickens and sheep with his own hands. It seems hypocritical in theory, but the emotion of "unwillingness" can arise because of the existence of "benevolence" in the heart, even if sometimes it seems that It sounds silly, and it's better than nothing.

What's more, Shouchun is a citizen of nearly half the city. After actually doing a math problem, he found that the proportion of injured people was lower than expected, and he burst into laughter... This is scary.

As a doctor, Zhang Zhongjing should be happy, but it was not Bai Tu's turn to be happy.

At this moment, Bai Tu's official seal trembled. It was a reply from Pang Tong. Bai Tu quickly apologized to Mr. Zhang and began to check.

Seeing the schematic diagram that Pang Tong drew for himself, Bai Tu was stunned for a while—how does it look like a supercritical fluid extraction device?

Supercritical fluid extraction can be said to be the most efficient and pure cold extraction method, but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it was even less reliable than ether and gasoline...

In principle, it is to select those special gases or liquids. Under special pressure environments, they will behave as supercritical fluids, that is, they have some properties of gases and some properties of liquids. In this state, the fluid to be extracted The substance dissolves out and then returns to normal, with the supercritical fluid turning back into a normal gas or liquid, leaving only the extract.

It has low residual dissolved matter and high efficiency. It can be said that the fighter in modern cold brewing technology is just... expensive.

Generally speaking, carbon dioxide can be used as this fluid material, but it requires hundreds of times the atmospheric pressure to make it behave like a supercritical fluid. The entire equipment is very expensive.

Although Bai Tu didn't know much about it, he had only come across it when he was writing a paper, but when he sent information to Pang Tong not long ago, he read it all, so he recognized this equipment at a glance, it was very similar to the supercritical fluid extraction equipment!
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, this was not only expensive... Where can I add hundreds of atmospheric pressures on the white picture?

However, continuing to look down, Bai Tu was stunned by Pang Tong's imagination...

There is a big difference between Cheng Ji's world and the world before Bai Tu's time travel, but...for a long time, Bai Tu has not noticed any difference in civilian technology, so he has always ignored this point.

However, as a "local" who was born and raised with a very high IQ and an open mind, Pang Tong discovered a brand new method from the super-outline textbook given to him by Bai Tu.

Although the textbook was out of scope, Pang Tong already understood the basic principles, so he found a substitute for supercritical fluid-inner breath.

It's a very mysterious thing. Lu Bu also told Bai Tu before that a very small number of exercises that lay the foundation for warriors include some breathing and breathing laws, and a large part of the exercises that come with the armor will also have corresponding ones. part.

Although the warriors in Cheng Ji's world mainly practice "moving power", that is, exercise, rather than meditation, a magical power is also generated through breathing, which can be used to charge the armor.

Generally, the consumption of gilt armor requires the user to have a certain amount of inner energy to drive it, but Bai Tu... is stuck at this step.

If there is no part about breathing in the instructions of the Wood and Stone War Armor, it means that the user is not very qualified and must seek advice from others and improve the techniques before he can continue to improve.

It is said that inner breath should be a conceptual product of the "ideal" level. It cannot be seen or touched. It is neither a gas nor a liquid.

It's not that after the inner breath is transformed into liquid, there will be a new "blood vessel" in the body to flow the inner breath. It's just that when used, it can not only charge the armor, but also affect reality. This is different from many white pictures. The principles handed over to Pang Tong all conflicted.

Therefore, Pang Tong has already done some research and ideas in this regard, and he also has the best "test subject" - Zhou Tai.

Although Zhou Tai is still far behind Jinyu, he is currently the armor under Bai Tu that is closest to the Jinyu armor. His body is different from ordinary people, and his pure combat power is not inferior to Gao Shun who wears the Jinyu armor.

Zhou Tai's inner breath is already "liquid", of course...it's just a liquid in the abstract. If a person drives the armor until the inner breath is exhausted, his weight will not change compared to when he is normal.

Pang Tong was very curious about this state. He had done some research and experiments before, and finally found that this abstract liquid can be released when the warrior concentrates, just like the "non-existent" internal energy can be released externally. Like knocking down trees or even blowing a hole in the ground.

In the end, Pang Tong came to the conclusion that when the substance of inner breath is in the body of a warrior, it is between existence and non-existence. When the warrior releases it to the outside, it has certain physical properties...

In the current situation of insufficient information, Pang Tong established a hypothesis, that is, "inner breath" is the existence of the warrior's will. When this will is recognized by external objects in the world, it will show the same behavior as the real matter in the outside world. nature.

When the outside world does not recognize the will of the warrior, "inner breath" does not exist - but this violates the conservation of matter, so Pang Tong changed his thinking, not "non-existence", but "existence and non-existence" superposition between them.

To expand further, Pang Tong conducted a hypothetical experiment.

If a wild big goldfish caught by Gan Ning is placed in a barrel of sea water, the barrel is covered with a wooden board, and a few kilograms of salt are placed on the wooden board. At this time, a warrior with inner breath appears hits the wooden board from the air, and the wooden board will break. , the big goldfish died because the concentration of the sea water where it was located was too high. If it were replaced by a warrior with no inner breath, he would not be able to penetrate the board through the air, and the big goldfish would survive...

In other words, if you change to a general who does not know whether his will is recognized, the big goldfish will be in a superposition of death and immortality. This is the later famous hypothesis "Pang Tong's Wild Big Goldfish".

Bai Tu had no interest in Pang Tong's big goldfish, but... Pang Tong also explained something in the letter, that is, the "internal breath" can be used as a "supercritical fluid".

It does not require hundreds of air pressures to create supercritical conditions. As long as a warrior can control the liquefaction and release of his own inner breath, it can be used as a substitute for supercritical fluid, or... should this be considered an "inner breath fluid"?
The name is not important. What is important is that Pang Tong not only simulated it with special strategies, but also actually experimented it in Wu County. When Zhou Tai was the provider of the internal fluid, he could efficiently extract the juice from Artemisia annua!

Pang Tong even felt that if further research was carried out, the warrior himself could control the nature of the inner breath to separate the effective substances in it. However... time was tight and there was no time to study it so deeply.

After Bai Tu understood it, he immediately started organizing and building extraction equipment in Shouchun, and then asked Taishi Ci to try it...

Liquefaction of inner breath is the basis for extraction of "inner breath fluid". Apart from Zhou Tai, there should be only a few golden and jade generals who can do this step.

At the same time, Bai Tu also immediately sent someone to notify Lu Bu and Sun Ce who were still in Runan.

Pang Tong has already succeeded in Wu County, which shows that this method is feasible, but... it is not so easy to manifest the liquefied inner breath in a liquid state only and recover it after completing the extraction.

One day later, the equipment had been built by Bai Tu with concentrated manpower. It looked like a supercritical fluid extraction equipment, but in fact it was very "pocket-sized". Tai Shici could hold it on both ends with his left and right hands. On one side were the import and One side is the exit - if the inner breath is not recovered, Taishi Ci will be exhausted in a short while.

Two days later... Taishi Ci successfully extracted two liters of essence, but seven or eight pieces of equipment had been destroyed. Fortunately, Bai Tu has been organizing manpower to make it!
This thing is more dangerous than ether. Although it is not flammable, it shows aggression at every turn and directly blows up the equipment...

Taishi Ci was also a little surprised. He usually preferred to be a skilled warrior, but his performance was not satisfactory.

As for the reason why Zhou Tai was able to succeed, Bai Tu estimated that it was because Zhou Tai had a special physique and his strength was not as strong as a golden jade general. His inner energy was also weaker after being liquefied. Therefore, judging from the success rate given by Pang Tong, it exceeded Tai Shi Ci.

At this time, Lu Bu and Sun Ce had also returned overnight.

This extract is indeed useful, but Tai Shici alone cannot keep up with the efficiency. Now Bai Tu can only look forward to his adoptive father and second brother...
