Lawen Schneider is a white British man. He was born in Cape Town and spent his childhood safely. Later, he was sent back to the mainland by his father to study medicine. The reason why he came back from the mainland was because he was bleeding people in London. Let people die.

The deceased's family refused to give in, and he finally settled the matter after paying a large sum of money.

He had no choice but to return to Cape Town. In order to make money and live better, he paid for his connections to work in the Cape Colony.

In 1878, the Cape Colony sent troops to occupy Walvis Bay, and he was sent to Walvis Bay as a resident doctor.

In 1879, Mr. Shi came with his people, and he became an employee of Nanhua Company on the spot.

Over the years, his medical skills have improved by leaps and bounds, all thanks to Mr. Shi's help and teachings.

But Mr. Shi never took credit and still discussed medical issues with him humbly.

Almost every time I talk to him, I can get some inspiration from Mr. Shi, especially about antibiotics.

At that time, Mr. Shi found him and talked to him about some inexplicable words about yin and yang complementing each other.

Seeing that he had no reaction, Mr. Shi told him that there must be antidote herbs near poisonous snakes.

It made him confused even more, and he had no choice but to protest loudly.

Mr. Shi was left speechless for a while, and angrily shouted out a sentence in Chinese. He didn't understand Chinese very well, but he vaguely understood a few words: Don't knock off the shy tree...

Then Mr. Shi directly threw him a petri dish and told him that it contained Penicillium.

As you can see from the Petri dish, there is a blank area surrounding the Penicillium.

Mr. Shi reminded him: "Other harmful bacteria were originally placed near Penicillium, but this mold secreted a special substance that inhibited the growth of surrounding harmful bacteria."

Lawen Schneider suddenly became energetic. The substance secreted by Penicillium allowed him to see the power of changing the world.

Therefore, he is currently focusing his energy on this area of ​​research, and most of the students he leads are also engaged in this research.

Schneider's lectures are mainly in English. It is still difficult for him, an old white man, to learn Chinese.

Fortunately, his students now all speak English fluently and can communicate with him without any barriers.

“Antibiotics are substances that destroy or inhibit the growth of certain microorganisms. This is a concept proposed by our beloved and wise Mr. Shi.

He pointed out that there are countless microorganisms in nature, and we can divide them into several categories according to their species.

But what we are mainly talking about today is microorganisms like bacteria.

Bacteria exist in everything, and they have developed a very harmonious symbiosis with us humans.

But there is no coexistence. They will still use our corpses as food after our death, and eventually digest us completely and return to the cycle of nature.

Among the bacteria that are beneficial to us humans, we call them beneficial bacteria, and those that are harmful to us can be called harmful bacteria and pathogenic bacteria.

The main function of antibiotics is to inhibit the reproduction of harmful and pathogenic bacteria. This substance can be extracted from Penicillium that we are currently studying.

At present, our research on extracting antibiotics has some twists and turns, but as long as we keep researching, we can always find a way.

In addition, according to Mr. Shi's tips, I discovered that in the distant Qing Dynasty, there may be a more advanced method of preparing penicillium antibiotics than our research.

Let's discuss whether it works or not. "

Dr. Schneider's explanation was clear and concise, but everyone's curiosity was aroused when they heard that the backward mother country actually had a more advanced method of preparing penicillium antibiotics than Southwest Africa.

Lawen Schneider took his time and continued to write on the blackboard: mustard marinade.

(This is penicillin prepared by ancient Chinese people. During the Anti-Japanese War, Japanese soldiers went to snatch it. It is not known whether they succeeded or not, but the TV series "Old Chinese Medicine" did not succeed.)
  He had practiced these simplified Chinese characters for a long time and was relieved to be able to write them correctly. "This kind of juice is said to have been made by monks in Buddhist temples in the Qing Dynasty. They would use many huge jars with mustard greens in them and expose them to the sun day and night. When the mustard greens become moldy, green mold will grow, which can last up to three years. They can't proceed to the next step until four inches.

After the mold reaches the standard, the monk will seal the vat and bury it in the soil. It will take ten years before the vat can be opened for use.

The mustard greens in this vat have completely turned into juice after such a long time.

This juice is named 'Cold Mustard Braised'.

This juice is specially designed to treat high fever illnesses, such as pneumonia in young children and respiratory diseases in adults.

Do you think this method is feasible? Should we continue to study it? "

Dr. Schneider's words triggered a discussion in the lecture theater.

Ye Rong and Cai Ya also joined the discussion.

Cai Ya has no hope for the old shepherd's purse marinade from the Qing Dynasty. Ten years is too long!
  Moreover, it is still unknown how much penicillin is contained in this juice. Even if it can effectively treat diseases, production capacity restricts the further development of this production method.

Ye Rong also has her own opinions on this. She thinks this method is effective. She might as well try it first to see if there is room for improvement.

The views of Cai Ya and Ye Rong are very representative. Dr. Schneider is inclined to Ye Rong's opinion. Since their current research is at an impasse, it is better to look for breakthroughs through external means.

Everyone decided to issue a reward to the immigration department, asking them to find a way to get some vegetable juice from a Buddhist temple in Changzhou, Qing Dynasty, and study it.

Of course, they can't just wait and try it in Southwest Africa to see if they can restore the monk's method.

This class was basically over. Ye Rong and Cai Ya got up and planned to go to the basement laboratory to continue their previous research.

Dr. Schneider suddenly spoke: "As for the operation of collecting blood to determine blood type, everyone should practice more in the near future.

Mr. Shi informed me that he would select someone to go on a business trip in the near future.

Everyone should be prepared so that when Mr. Shi comes to choose someone, everyone will not be unprepared. "

With that, Dr. Schneider left.

However, the classroom was caught in an even bigger commotion. Following Mr. Shi on a business trip, they had never experienced such a good thing.

Ye Rong was so angry that she bit her teeth secretly, "Why didn't this dead man tell me about such a good thing first?"

She secretly made up her mind to go back and practice hard. When he came, she would go directly to him and ask him to take her on a business trip.

……

Different from the busy life of Anhai Town Medical College, Shi Jintang is wandering in the interior of Portuguese East Africa (Mozambique).

These Portuguese are so weak that the natives can't do anything but just hide on the beach and enjoy their happiness.

Crossing Portuguese East Africa was a bit strenuous for him and his troops. Fighting with the indigenous people along the way wasted a lot of time.

Fortunately, it is still early February. If they move quickly enough, he will be able to arrive in Cannes, France, in early March.

The little prince of England should not die yet.
