Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 5: First Return

“Draw the sword and travel through the system.

Current time and space: February 1940, Zhaojiazhuang, Jinzhong.

Countdown to return: 00:00:00.

Points: 0.

Do you choose to return? "

When the return countdown reached zero, new changes indeed appeared on the system interface.

Ren Zhong did not rush to make a choice, but sat there, waiting to see if the system would continue to execute the return action on its own.

I waited for nearly 3 minutes and nothing changed.

It seems that after the countdown for the system's return reaches zero, it only gives the host an option to operate, rather than forcing a direct return.

This discovery made Ren Zhong feel relieved. It meant that there was no possibility for him to play the role of God in front of Li Yunlong and the others.

All that’s left is to test whether you can choose to go back!

Ren Zhong's heart rate suddenly soared to 180!

Then silently say “Yes!”

Then everything went black, and I didn’t know how much time had passed before Ren Zhong woke up again while twitching!
He was still holding the charger in his hand and in front of him was a tablet computer that was still playing the drama "Bright Sword". However, it kept beeping to indicate that it was low on power, and Ren Zhong was a little confused.

Am I traveling through time or am I dreaming?

Why does it feel like a dream?

Ren Zhong let go of the socket and sat back on the stool with a dazed look in his eyes.

Suddenly, he touched his pocket.

Less amoxicillin!
Then, a virtual picture appeared in my mind.

“Draw the sword and travel through the system.

Current time and space: February 2024, 2, Balizhuang, Jincheng.

Countdown to return: 23:59:59.

Points: 0. "

Good news: I actually traveled through time.

Bad news: What's the difference between traveling through time and not traveling through time? !

Ren Zhong looked at this interface and his head felt like it was going to explode. Was he making fun of him?

Traveling back and forth has become a dead loop!
From the perspective of time continuity, the time of the two worlds is completely independent, without any intersection or interference at all. Ren Zhong lives two lives in two completely different time and space!
It sounds like this is a great thing, but if such a shitty life in the main world were to be repeated again, Ren Zhong would probably go crazy in a few months!

Because he was exhausted in the world of Bright Sword, and he was shivering with cold when sleeping on a pile of hay with a rough guy like Li Yunlong in Zhaojiazhuang at night, Ren Zhong was tired and hungry that day and did not have a good rest.

After getting up and finding a pack of instant noodles, Ren Zhong sat down and began to think about this system.

It feels like a space-time gate rather than a system. Apart from that, I can't see any other functions. The points seem to be the conditions for opening some functions, but now it shows 0 points. Ren Zhong can't guess what he needs to do to get the points.

The only interesting thing is that it seems that you can carry some small items with you to travel between the two worlds.

The amoxicillin that I accidentally brought back to the world of Bright Sword is a living example.

However, the things you can carry with you are extremely limited. I didn’t bring the charger in my hand with me. Apparently, there are restrictions on this by the rules.

One must carry something in his pocket that can cover his body in order to be transported to another time and space, which greatly limits Ren Zhong's ability to transport materials across dimensions.

It is basically not feasible to rely on the transmission of dimensional materials to help Li Yunlong grow bigger and stronger.

Ren Zhong calculated that among the supplies that he could teleport to the Liangjian plane, the most valuable one was probably penicillin. After all, it was a real life-saving thing in the Liangjian plane.

No! Ren Zhong, who had been thinking, suddenly had an idea in his mind. He remembered that he could travel between two planes, and the greatest support he could give to Li Yunlong was probably not material things, but knowledge!
The space where he lived had an ocean of knowledge that was nearly a hundred years ahead of the rest. Even if he could only absorb a tiny bit and return to the plane of Bright Sword, it would be a huge improvement.

For example, ideas and information on weapons research.

Thinking of this, Ren Zhong suddenly understood. He jumped up from his seat, turned on his computer, and began searching for relevant information.

Li Yunlong and his men were the first to be hit as they were short of guns and ammunition, especially bullets.

Ren Zhong began to search for a solution to this problem, and soon he figured out the raw material requirements for bullet manufacturing.

But before solving Li Yunlong's problem, Ren Zhong had to solve his own survival problem first.

In both worlds, Ren Zhong is still an absolute disadvantaged group and can be said to have no say at all.

So after studying Li Yunlong's problem for a while, Ren Zhong began to study penicillin, which he could use to make money.

In the original time and space, the Republic of China did not import penicillin until the late 40s. It was not until when Pfizer expanded its mass production that it began large-scale imports.

However, even so, supply still could not meet demand, forcing the authorities to implement a maximum price. The price limit for each bottle of 20 units of penicillin was 2.5 yuan in gold yuan coupons (the official price was 2.5 oceans). This price was obviously lower than the import cost at the time, but there was no market for it. Ordinary people had no possibility of purchasing it through normal channels. The market price on the black market was at least double that.

Because on November 11, 1, the price limit of penicillin in Shanghai was lifted. A few days later, on November 11, the price of penicillin skyrocketed to 5 yuan. On November 7.5, it continued to soar to 11 yuan. On December 15, it more than doubled again to 35 yuan!
Of course, there were multiple factors involved, including the demand for penicillin and the sharp depreciation of the currency. By the end of 48, the Red Army had the upper hand, and the Blue Army lost several key battles and seemed to be on the decline. In addition, the excessive issuance of legal tender could not support the original intention of the ocean exchange rate and depreciated rapidly. By , it had become worthless after the principal left in a hurry.

In the first few years after the word penicillin was introduced into China, there was no unified Chinese name. From the information found so far, there were different ways of translating it at that time. Some were transliterated as penicillin and penicillin; some were translated essentially as penicillin and qingwei (micro) bacterium. It was not until after liberation that the academic community gradually unified into: penicillin. However, in the early days, we saw that the transliteration of penicillin occupied the main cognition.

From the perspective of the development of penicillin production technology, since the 30s, Pfizer has relied on fermentation technology to become a leader in the field of vitamins and antibiotics, and pioneered the deep tank fermentation method of penicillin. However, the initial production capacity was very limited, and it only had laboratory production capabilities. The price of the penicillin produced was simply not affordable for ordinary people.

However, penicillin's powerful anti-inflammatory effect prompted them to carry out continuous process improvements. Finally, in 1944, Pfizer's penicillin was mass-produced and provided 90% of the penicillin for the Allied forces in the Normandy Landing during World War II.

During this period, penicillin production was still low and its price was comparable to gold. However, the high price prompted further development of technology. By the end of World War II, many companies joined the penicillin production race and the price of penicillin fell rapidly due to fierce market competition.

At this time, Pfizer focused its energy on new product research and development, and successfully found streptomycin and oxytetracycline to replace penicillin.

In 1950, oxytetracycline was approved for marketing. It was the first drug sold in the United States under the "Pfizer" trademark and brought Pfizer $1500 million in sales in the first year. Since then, Pfizer has officially entered the pharmaceutical industry and embarked on the peak of the company's impact on the world's top pharmaceutical company.

There are all kinds of stories in between.

After reading the information, Ren Zhong felt as if he had found a glittering way to make money. At least before Pfizer went into mass production, Ren Zhong was the only supplier and had the right to set prices freely. This was a huge opportunity to make a fortune. Considering the price of penicillin compared to gold, the annual sales were conservatively estimated to be tens of millions of dollars. In this era, 1 dollar meant 1 gram of gold. Wouldn't he be able to earn more than ten tons of gold in a year?
have a future!
There is a great future for making money!

Ren Zhong's blood suddenly boiled!
