Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Page 227

Faced with these advanced weapons and equipment, the boss, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and everyone else had never even seen them, let alone used them.

These also attracted the curiosity of the public.

Such advanced weapons and equipment...where did the Independent Battalion and Su Zheng get them?

After all, neither the Japanese nor the Central Army’s direct troops have such advanced weapons and equipment!

Su Zheng saw the confusion among the crowd, but he was not panicked. He smiled and said, "Everyone, I know you will have such doubts!"

"But because of confidentiality, I can't tell you this secret now!"

"How about this... Let's gather at the battalion headquarters tomorrow morning, and I'll tell you where these advanced weapons and equipment come from!"

Showdown!

Su was about to reveal his hand.

He wanted to confront these leaders about the arsenal matter.

These leaders are trustworthy and naturally have no concerns about leaking intelligence information related to the arsenal.

Su Zheng planned to tell everyone tomorrow and take everyone to visit the independent battalion’s arsenal.

This must be hard for these leaders to imagine that a battalion would have an arsenal.

The boss also looked at Su Zheng curiously and said, "Su Zheng... is he so mysterious?"

Su Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, Boss, everything is for safety reasons."

Ding Wei: "Su Zheng, since you said so, let's wait another day! It's not too late anyway."

Kong Jie also looked curious and said, "Yes, yes, yes... Isn't it just a day's wait? We can wait, not to mention a day, we can even wait for three days!"

Now everyone wants to know the source of this batch of advanced weapons and equipment, so they are naturally willing to wait.

The reason why Su Zheng chose to reveal the matter of the Arsenal tomorrow morning was because it was almost noon. If he entered the Arsenal now, he would not have enough time to go back and forth.

Walking on mountain roads at night... This is not a big problem for Su Zheng, but he is afraid that it will be troublesome for these leaders.

Because it takes a whole day to go back and forth to the arsenal located deep in Xinmai Mountain.

And because the mountain road is rugged, we can only move forward on foot.

The terrain is complex.

It is naturally safer to walk during the day.

This is Su Zheng’s purpose.

Everything is done for the sake of safety and confidentiality.

The boss naturally didn't have any big objections, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll wait and see tomorrow morning!"

This time, Su was planning to announce the arsenal's trump card to these leaders.

Otherwise it is difficult to explain the source of these advanced weapons and equipment.

If we just tell the boss and other leaders that these advanced American equipment and weapons all come from our own arsenal, the boss will definitely not believe it.

After all, no one could have imagined that a small battalion-level combat unit could be an arsenal.

The Eighth Route Army was such a large combat force, but apart from the small workshop, it only had the arsenal in Huangyadong at Yitiantian.

So in order to make the boss and others believe it, I had to take them to see the arsenal.

This will better explain the origin of weapons and equipment.

Otherwise, it will be difficult to explain the advanced weapons and equipment in the future.

As for the equipment of the arsenal, Su Zheng can say that it was supported by overseas Chinese in Country M.

With this explanation...all the sources of weapons make sense.

Su Zheng chose to reveal the real purpose of the arsenal to these leaders.

Everything is planned.

The independent battalion's military parade ended perfectly.

Afterwards, Su Zheng, the boss, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and the members of the Eighth Route Army Senior Officers Exchange Group strolled around the Xinzhongcun base.

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly came from my mind: "Ding Dong, congratulations to the host for completing option 10. Review the troops with the boss to obtain the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine and boxes of penicillin."

Inheritance of Traditional Chinese Medicine: The host obtains the inheritance of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which collects the inheritance and experience of famous doctors of ancient Chinese medicine. This means that the host can skillfully master the treatment methods, methods, prescriptions, etc. of ancient Chinese medicine, reaching the level and ability of a senior old Chinese medicine practitioner, and his Chinese medicine ability is also at an extremely high level.

Inheritance of Traditional Chinese Medicine?

This skill made Su Zheng's eyes light up.

As the saying goes, when you live in the world, you will inevitably get hurt.

In this chaotic world, as a soldier, Su Zheng will definitely be injured on the battlefield.

This is inevitable.

Even though Su Zheng has a bulletproof vest and danger alarm capabilities, injuries are inevitable.

If you understand Chinese medicine, you can save yourself.

Traditional Chinese Medicine...it's a treasure.

Although Chinese medicine seems mysterious, China has relied on it to cure diseases and save lives for thousands of years of history.

Traditional Chinese medicine appeared as early as the primitive society. Then, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the preliminary theories of traditional Chinese medicine were gradually formed. Then, with the continuous improvement of famous doctors in successive dynasties, a huge system of traditional Chinese medicine was finally formed.

It can be said that Chinese medicine is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients. It is also the accumulation of experience and theory of the ancients in fighting diseases. It is a medical theory system formed and developed through practice.

Many people think that Chinese medicine is mysterious, that’s because its theories are mysterious.

Traditional Chinese medicine takes Yin and Yang and the Five Elements as its theoretical basis, and views a complete human body as a unity of Qi, form, and spirit. Then, through diagnostic and treatment methods such as "looking, listening, asking, and feeling", it ultimately determines how to treat the disease, and the principle of treatment is also to follow the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment.

There are many treatment methods, such as traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, massage, cupping, qigong, diet therapy and so on.

In addition to theories such as yin and yang and the five elements, there are also theories such as qi, blood, body fluids, viscera, meridians, and qi circulation... These constitute the theoretical basis of traditional Chinese medicine, which is why people feel that traditional Chinese medicine is very mysterious.

So many people seek treatment from traditional Chinese medicine...but whether the treatment is successful depends entirely on luck.

But in fact, if you truly master Chinese medicine, then it can really cure any disease.

Because Chinese medicine is a skill that cures diseases and saves lives, not a way to fool people by pretending to be mysterious.

Now that Su Zheng has inherited Chinese medicine, he can naturally inherit the ancients' experience in curing diseases and saving lives, as well as the medical monographs of traditional Chinese medicine, such as "Huangdi Neijing", "Nanjing", "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases", and "Shennong's Herbal Classic".

It can be said that the current Su Zheng cannot be called a miracle doctor who can cure all diseases, but there is basically no disease that he cannot treat.

"Not bad...this skill is good!" Su Zheng felt that the skill of inheriting Chinese medicine was quite useful.

Even if you can't use it yourself, you can give it to your comrades around you.

In times of war, a life saved is a life saved.

As the system's voice fell, a lot of knowledge, theories, experiences, techniques, etc. related to traditional Chinese medicine began to flood into Su Zheng's mind... These were all integrated and engraved in his mind and could be used at any time!

This is the power of the system.

However, what surprised and delighted Su Zheng was that this time the system actually rewarded him with ten boxes of penicillin?

".々System, ten boxes of penicillin? This... this is a lot!"

You know, Penicillium was really a golden medicine in 1940!

Penicillin, also known as penicillin.

To put it simply, penicillin is a type of antibiotic that has a bactericidal effect and is extracted from Penicillium.

By the 21st century, penicillin was worthless.

But in 1940, penicillin was liquid gold and extremely expensive.

Before penicillin was invented, the biggest factor leading to soldiers' deaths was not death on the battlefield, but bacterial infection after being injured in war, which eventually led to death.

In 1928, Fleming accidentally discovered a mold during another experiment, and found that this mold could kill bacteria such as Staphylococcus, so he discovered penicillin, but for various reasons he was unable to purify penicillin.

In 1938, German chemist Chain began to conduct purification experiments based on Fleming's paper.

It was not until 1940 that Qian En finally extracted a little penicillin, but due to the complexity of the technology, it could not be used clinically.

In 1941, Florey improved the penicillin purification technology, increasing the yield of penicillin from 2 units per cubic centimeter to 40 units.

So penicillin was quite expensive at that time and was called the golden drug.

It was not until 1943 that pharmaceutical companies discovered a method to mass-produce penicillin, which gradually led to the promotion of penicillin enteritis.

However, at this time, Country M's penicillin production method was kept secret.

It was not until 1944 that the first batch of domestically produced penicillin was produced, and the price of penicillin finally dropped.

That is to say, in 1940, ten boxes of penicillin were worth a lot of money.

After all, in 1940, penicillin could only be purified, and there was no way to apply it in clinical practice.

Therefore, the ten boxes of penicillin that Su Zheng obtained were ahead of their time. He obtained clinical application-level penicillin two or three years ahead of schedule, which was quite awesome.

It was precisely because of this that Su Zheng was somewhat surprised: "This... System, your reward is really awesome, ten boxes of penicillin... This is a lot!"

Seeing such a reward, Su Zheng was overjoyed...

Chapter 273 The Boss's Admiration: A Strong Youth Makes a Strong Country (Fourth Update, Please Subscribe)

Before 1943, penicillin was extremely expensive and precious. It was impossible to buy it even if you had money. The price was astronomical.

Even after 1943, the price of penicillin remained high.

In the first half of 1943, the global monthly production of penicillin was only 60 grams. This... this production is so low.

Therefore, in the first half of 1943, the medicine was so expensive that even if you had money you couldn't buy it.

Even in the second half of 1943, when penicillin began to be mass-produced, its price remained high. It was once called "penicillin is worth one pound of gold" and its price was extremely high.

By 1945, the production of penicillin was only 4.7 tons, and the price of penicillin at that time was US$25 per gram.

The purchasing power of the US dollar in 1945 was very high, and 25 US dollars was considered very high.

Su Zheng didn't know how much the ten boxes of penicillin rewarded by the system were, so he asked: "System, how much are these ten boxes of penicillin?"

System: “5kg!”

5 kg.

That's ten kilograms.

Ten kilograms of penicillin?

This...this is not a small amount!

A dose of penicillin contains 40 units, which is 0.4 grams.

10 jin of penicillin is 5000g, which means there are a total of 12500 doses.

In other words, this batch of penicillin can save 12500 lives.

There are only more than 4,500 people in the independent battalion now, which is completely sufficient.

Now in 1940, owning 5kg of penicillin was simply an incredible thing.

You know, when penicillin was first introduced in 1943, the price of one ton of penicillin was as high as 8.3 million US dollars!

8.3 billion!
