Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Chapter 244: A Moldy Melon

"What are you thinking? Am I that greedy? Even if I were greedy, I wouldn't want a moldy melon."

Yu Ye was left speechless by the pitying looks of Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang.

"Have you heard of penicillin?" Yu Ye asked.

Shake his head.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang: "......"

"Have you ever heard of penicillin?"

Continue to shake your head.

"Then you should know about the sulfonamide drugs I asked you to buy at any cost these past two days, right?"

In order to prevent the monks from being really infected with plague and cholera and having no medicine to use, Yu Ye asked Zhao Gang to find a way to purchase some sulfonamide drugs for subsequent antibacterial treatment when preparing for the battle.

However, because the sulfonamide drug "Prontosil" had just been put into use in the United States at that time, the Japanese and the transport captain had very strict control over these drugs, and sulfa was even sold at a higher price than gold.

In a short period of time, even though the Independent Regiment made tremendous efforts and even used up all the gold in stock to buy sulfa, they only bought ten doses of sulfa.

"I know, I know, this thing is really too precious."

Li Yunlong felt a little shocked when talking about these. He didn't expect that this kind of medicine would be so precious that even if you have money you may not be able to buy it.

However, this thing really works. According to the rear-line hospital, some soldiers with very serious infections have used sulfa drugs and there is a high probability that they can turn the corner.

It can be called a panacea that can heal a dying person.

"I can find a way to extract a new generation of antibacterial drugs from moldy melons, or more precisely, from the Penicillium mold found on them.

This generation of antibacterial drugs is more effective than sulfonamides and has fewer side effects.”

As soon as Yu Ye said this, Li Yunlong's eyes widened like cow eggs, and they were about to burst into light on the spot.

"Old Yu, tell me, what do you need me, Li Yunlong, for?"

When Li Yunlong heard that Yu Ye wanted to extract the latest antibiotics, he became instantly excited, as if to say, "Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it for you right away."

"Not really, not really. Let's mobilize everyone to see if we can find moldy food. Green mold is best."

Yu Ye said this to Zhao Gang. It was okay to let Lao Li carry a gun and fight the Japanese, but it was a bit difficult to expect Lao Li to do such delicate work.

"Okay, Lao Yu, I'll go right away."

Zhao Gang didn't say anything and immediately prepared to go out to ask Lao Yu for the moldy melon.

As it was already late autumn at this time, moldy things were not very common, but this was not within Zhao Gang's consideration.

Since Lao Yu said that the melon must grow green mold, then it must grow green mold, no matter what!

"Wait, Lao Zhao, if possible, please help me get some light bulbs. It would be even better if you could get some transparent glass."

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Zhao Gang nodded and strode out the door. In front of the big pie drawn by Lao Yu, Zhao Gang walked with extraordinarily strong and powerful steps.

"Old Yu, what about me?"

Seeing that Zhao Gang had taken the mission and went out, Li Yunlong felt a little uneasy in the regiment headquarters. How could it be unreasonable for me, Li Yunlong, not to participate in such a big event?

"Go ask the brigade commander for a fermentation tank and a filtration device to extract microbial products."

"Ah I?"

Li Yunlong pointed at himself in disbelief, feeling that Lao Yu might have said something wrong.

"Yeah, you wanted to ask me for a mission, didn't you? I just gave you a mission, didn't I? Is there something wrong with that?"

Yu Ye looked at Li Yunlong with a smile.

Old Li's frown turned into the shape of a "川" character. Everyone knew that he was most afraid of the brigade commander. Although asking the brigade commander for a fermentation tank was a very normal task, Old Li was still a little uneasy, fearing that the brigade commander would be unhappy about something and would find fault with him.

Seeing Lao Li's hesitation, Yu Ye continued to add fuel to the fire: "Lao Li, you are not afraid, are you?"

"I... I, Li Yunlong, have nothing to fear. I will go find the brigade commander right now."

Li Yunlong strode away.

"Oh, Lao Li, I forgot to tell Lao Zhao that if you can't find any moldy melons, you can ask a tailor for help.

Maybe Sister Xiuqin has something that can meet our needs.

Especially look at the tailor's bowl for paste.

Also, if the brigade commander cannot find the fermentation tanks and equipment in Shanghai, he can try to look for them at Peking University, where there should be 5 sets of equipment donated by Americans. "

Yu Ye added.

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

After Lao Li walked out of the regiment headquarters, Yu Ye couldn't help but want to laugh. It was really funny to see Lao Li, the brigade commander, suddenly tense up when he was mentioned just now.

As for asking Lao Li to go to Xiuqin to ask the tailor, it is true.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, some tailors discovered that applying paste with green mold on inflamed wounds could effectively inhibit inflammation of the wound and help it heal as soon as possible.

When Yu Ye first learned about this anecdote, he did not feel a sense of national pride, but rather a sense of sadness.

Although this phenomenon was discovered more than 1,300 years earlier than the West, it ultimately became just a folk remedy and did not become a truly effective medicine.

It’s a bit sad to talk about it.

......

The independent regiment completed the mission brilliantly, which made Yoshio Shinozuka and even the highest leader of the North China Expeditionary Army, General Okamura Yasuji, extremely angry.

"Mr. Shinozuka, have you read the article written by the Eighth Route Army titled "Exposing the Truth about the Japanese Invaders' Use of Bacteriological Weapons and the Inevitable Destruction of Imperialism?"

On the phone, Okamura Neiji's voice was so calm that it was a little scary.

"Hai, General!"

At this time, Yoshio Shinozuka, the highest-ranking leader of the Japanese army in Jin, lowered his head involuntarily on the other end of the phone, like a primary school student being scolded, and did not dare to argue.

"Shinozuka-kun, in this article, they say that our Locust Army is the weaker party. What do you think?"

"General, our Locust Army has a powerful industrial system and elite troops. The Chinese army is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot under the wheels of our chariot. We will definitely crush them!"

Yoshio Shinozuka said this directly without any hesitation.

"Shinozuka-kun, do you believe this yourself?"

Shinozuka Yoshio: “…”

In the end, all Okamura Neiji got in response was a long silence.

"Those people in the military are too arrogant. We are a Yamata no Orochi, but China is a giant elephant. If we swallow it, we will be stuffed to death."

Yoshio Shinozuka continued to remain silent.

"However, Shinozuka-kun, we will never give up the territory and resources we have already taken. We need to gradually digest them and turn them into resources that we can use.

The military has approved adding two more divisions to your Jin area.

According to the military's plan, the Chinese troops in the Zhongtiao Mountain area in southern Shanxi would be dealt with first, and then the Eighth Route Army troops in Shanxi would be eliminated, especially that damned independent regiment.

This time, no more mistakes will be allowed, otherwise you will commit suicide to thank God!"

Ningji Okamura's voice suddenly turned cold.

Shinozuka Yoshio said solemnly: "Yay!"
