Three Kingdoms Swept the World II

Chapter 807 Propagation
Qin Feng read Hua Tuo's prescription carefully.

Honeysuckle, Forsythia, Folium Isatidis, Banlangen, Indigo Daisy, Ponytail, Viola, Dandelion, Andrographis, etc.

Hundreds of antibacterial traditional Chinese medicines are combined into more than one hundred prescriptions.

Qin Feng knew very well that the plague was caused by Yersinia pestis, and bacilli were bacteria, so it was absolutely correct to use antibacterial drugs.

Among these prescriptions, there are some for internal use, some for external application, and some for internal and external application.These Chinese herbal medicines all have excellent antibacterial effects in traditional Chinese medicine, and with the matching of Hua Tuo and others, the antibacterial effect will be even better.

How could it have no effect?

"Is the medicine powerful enough?" Qin Feng asked.

Hua Tuo hurriedly said: "My lord, the potency of the medicine has been maximized. For example, this combination of honeysuckle, banlangen, general and skullcap purslane can't be increased. If you boil it and drink it, something will happen. It's three points of the medicine. Poison, if the medicine is too strong, it is no longer medicine, but poison."

Qin Feng nodded, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said, "The medicine power I mentioned also has another explanation. You see, it is the same bowl of medicine, if it is purified, the effect will be better, so that it can be as effective as possible in a short period of time. Release the medicinal power at a fast speed, will there be additional effects?"

This is absolutely reasonable in theory, the same medicinal effect, digested and absorbed in the stomach, naturally it is more direct than an injection.

Hua Tuo was taken aback for a moment, and after being happy, he became sad, and said: "My lord, I can understand what you said, and it makes sense, but how to condense it?"

Yes, how to refine it?Nowadays, taking medicine is to boil medicine into potion. Some prescriptions need to eat herbs directly, and then make them into large pills or powder.Apart from these, there is really nothing else.Moreover, today's powder is not the concentrated powder of later generations, but chopped herbs, which has nothing to do with concentration and refining.

Qin Feng said: "Yuanhua, Chinese medicine has been using water as a solvent since ancient times, and the decoction method is the most commonly used method. This method is simple and effective, and can boil out most of the active ingredients in the medicinal materials. In addition to being used as a decoction, it can also be further processed , making pills and powders."

Hua Tuo kept nodding, "My lord's words are true."

"But this method has too many impurities, which affects the efficacy of the medicine."

"Yes."

In fact, Qin Feng was thinking for himself while talking.With today's technological strength, too many concentration and extraction methods in later generations cannot be used, mainly because there is no equipment, such as vacuum devices, ultrasonic vibration devices, and none of these.

But just because too many are useless, instead the options are compressed, which made Qin Feng think of a possibility.

Qin Feng was really excited, and said: "Yuanhua, I have a way, maybe I can purify it again. Let me tell you, you go and try."

Hua Tuo was even more excited, and he felt that this time was the right time, the lord had too many wonderful ideas.But the lord has too many things to do, if I don't come, it will be difficult for the lord to concentrate on these areas. "My lord, tell me." Hua Tuo immediately took out a small notebook.

"This is actually very simple, it is distillation, and steaming is steaming." Qin Feng said.

Distillation is a common method for separating and purifying liquid mixtures.But distillation came along with wine making. There was no distillation and wine making in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there was no such concept as distillation.

"Distillation! How to carry out distillation?" Although Hua Tuo was grateful for "steaming", he was still full of question marks.

Qin Feng's thoughts became more and more clear, and he continued: "The effect of the medicinal herb is dissolved in water, and it becomes a bowl of medicine. But there are many impurities in the bowl of medicine that the patient drank together. We have to be more thoughtful and consider everything in the face of unknown diseases. Perhaps it is because of these impurities that affect the efficacy of the medicine."

Hua Tuo nodded repeatedly.

Qin Feng continued: "Therefore, we use distillation, which is to refine the brewed soup again. Use fire to boil it dry."

"Ah! My lord, the medicine is gone!" Hua Tuo said hastily.

Qin Feng taught: "You can put a cover on the pot, and the water vapor rich in medicine will adhere to the lid to form distilled water rich in medicine. These distilled medicines can be said to have undergone a complete purification. The medicinal power of this water is much better than that boiled in a pot."

"Water vapor turns into morning dew, and medicine gas also turns into dew?" Hua Tuo said in surprise.

"Children can be taught." Qin Feng nodded.

Hua Tuo stroked his white beard, his mind was immediately enlightened, but he was troubled, "How to collect it?"

Qin Feng hates iron for being weak, "Water vapor will liquefy when there is too much water, and it will flow along the lid. You can collect it in a container on the inner wall. After the medicine is gone, when the lid is lifted, there will be a lot of colorless liquid left behind. Distilled water with medicinal properties. But now we collect this specially. Well~, we need to develop better equipment, the kind that prevents the loss of water vapor."

Hua Tuo blushed, "It turns out that the water on the lid is rich in medicinal properties, and my subordinates thought it was water before."

Qin Feng taught: "A bowl of medicine is boiled to dryness, where does the medicine go? There must be a place to go. In fact, it turns into water vapor and disperses into the heaven and earth."

After some discussion, Qin Feng felt that this method could work, at least it would enhance the efficacy of the medicine.He told Hua Tuo to go back quickly to study this purification, and then give it to the patient again to see if it would work.

Hua Tuo ran out of the prime minister's mansion without stopping.

Three days later, Hua Tuo came to Qin Feng again with a bitter face, and said, "My lord, the equipment can't be made..."

Water extraction technology requires targeted equipment. Although it is not as complicated as a TV refrigerator, it is still unimaginably difficult for the ancients.

Although Qin Feng came from a later generation, he was a big head for a while, but he quickly summoned his great inventor Ma Jun and the mechanism master Huang Chengyan who made parts.

Fortunately, Qin Feng had Ma Jun, the only great inventor in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Huang Chengyan, the only mechanism master.Finally, the device was manufactured.

Time waits for no one, and the gears never stop turning.

Dong Cheng's four dead men crossed the Yellow River.

These four people quickly sent the blood edict to Cao Cao and others, and then rushed to other directions.But the four dead men who climbed out of the pile of dead people soon died of illness on the way.He died on the way to Yongliang, Shuzhong, Jingzhou and Jiangdong.As a result, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, Ma Teng and others did not receive the blood edict from Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

Their bodies were either lying on the side of the road, dying in the forest, or floating on the river.But some people found that they were walking around and didn't dare to go close to look at it.When the local government heard the news and arrived, mosquitoes and flies were biting the corpse, and scavengers such as rats devoured the corpse. In addition to the heat of summer, the corpse had long been rotten and fuzzy.And because of the chaos in the world, there are too many cases of refugees dying, starving and starving to death, and they are hastily buried everywhere.

Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, Lu Bu, and Yuan Shu received the blood edict of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.They sneered at the order of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty calling on them to take the opportunity to attack the Northland. They didn't care whether they could save the Han family or not.

Based on the belief that if you don't die, you won't die, they will not attack Qin Feng.

However, since they could attack Qin Feng's prestige, they were naturally willing to do so.With their fueling, the rumors that had spread in the Northland before began to prevail in the world.It has spread so widely that it has become a reality.

The people were suspicious at first, but as the rumors spread widely, the princes fueled the flames, and the fakes became true.People all over Qin Feng were hit hard, and they all exclaimed, "Could it be that the great savior is really condemned by the gods for being ungrateful?"

Qin Feng's reputation was hit hard by this.
