Chapter 915: penicillin (1/2)
Berlin Medical School, Germany.
There are people in white coats everywhere, many of them are young and young girls. After they have gone through their student career here, they will become qualified white angels.
At the same time, in the most central building of the college, there are also many rooms for medical research. For example, on the sixth floor with the best location, in a room, several people in white coats are watching A mouse that has been injected with drugs.
The wound of the white mouse has successfully healed without any infection!
”Our experiment finally succeeded!” said a white coat happily: ”I knew that we would succeed! We found the right way!”
”Yes, penicillin can finally enter clinical use. Once it can be produced in large quantities, we can save many people. This drug is no longer affordable only by the rich and aristocrats, but ordinary civilians can also use it. That's it!” another officer said.
He took off his mask, revealing a Jewish face.
The most famous chemist in Germany, Boris Chann, he is an authentic Jew.
At first, when Hitler first came to power, Chan felt that his identity would pose a threat, so he had to leave Germany and go to England. In England, he met the inventor of penicillin, Fleming, and him work together.
Penicillin was discovered by Fleming in 1929. This penicillin is an extremely good drug, but he faced a huge problem. This drug cannot be purified!
Fleming was extremely disappointed in this. For ten years, he has been working on the purification of this penicillin, but he has gained little.
His team is constantly joined by pedestrians. For example, Australians Walter Flory and Paulis Chann, they both have first-class academic and technical skills. Unfortunately, they still lack another condition, a large amount of funds. Invest.
To develop this drug and purify penicillin, the most important thing is to find suitable high-yield strains. This requires repeated experiments, which require a lot of money.
The British government did not have this ability, so it was dragged on until that terrible war was carried out.
During the war, everything stopped. Fleming's team was captured by the Germans while fleeing. They were not persecuted, but were taken back to Berlin.
After returning to Berlin, Chan was surprised to find that the academic atmosphere in Germany is the best in the world!
Once, Jews were persecuted in Germany, but that process only went through a short period of time. After that, the identity of Jews was no longer persecuted. As long as they worked for the empire, they would be respected.
Qian En met a lot of companions, and they all had a very good working environment. At the same time, the investment in the empire they received was quite high.
At this time, Qian En had softened his position, and Fleming and others were also lumpy in their hearts. After Edward VIII came to power, their pro-German stance eliminated their last interference.
They are scholars. They study penicillin for the benefit of the whole world. With this kind of thinking, they started working again in Berlin.
In the early stage, penicillin was extremely difficult to separate and purify, and the aqueous solution was extremely unstable and easily decomposed and failed. Moreover, the most frightening thing is that their initial crude extracts are very lethal to guinea pigs when they are taken orally!
Simply put, this thing is toxic and cannot be used in clinical medicine at all.
Fleming and others were not discouraged. They thought it would take a long time. Who knows, they broke through soon!
