Chapter 292: Making Penicillin



After returning to the military camp, Lin Jiuyue couldn't wait to park the carriage in front of the door of the tent used for his experiments.

In order to make these things visible, Lin Jiuyue specially called two soldiers to help him move the things into the experimental tent.

After moving the things in, Lin Jiuyue started to get busy.

First, put all the fruits and vegetables together.

The tent was not humid enough, so Lin Jiuyue spread some straw on the ground, and then poured water on the straw to soak it thoroughly.

The temperature in winter is not high, so it will probably take a long time to dry the straw.

By the time the straw dries, these things will probably have become moldy.

As long as it can grow mold, you can extract the Penicillium you want and make penicillin.

Just when Lin Jiuyue finished all these things, Gu Chengyan came over with Lin Qiye.

"Jiuyue, I heard you went out early this morning? When you came back, did you bring a lot of things with you?"

Lin Jiuyue nodded.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

Gu Chengyan opened his mouth.

When the military camp was short of food, he had sent people to the nearby town to buy food, but the people in the town said there wasn't enough food. How did September buy it right away?

"How did you buy those things?"

Lin Jiuyue looked puzzled.

"Of course you buy it for silver? Why? The people in the city won't sell it to you?"

Gu Chengyan: ...

September was right.

"No way? Gu Chengyan, you don't look scary, why wouldn't they sell it to you? This is the first time I've heard of someone not selling something even for money."

After Lin Jiuyue finished speaking, she burst into laughter.

Gu Chengyan listened to Lin Jiuyue's laughter and turned his head away in embarrassment.

"Hey, Gu Chengyan, tell me, why didn't they sell it to you? Is it that they were selling it for ten coins a pound, but you only gave five coins? Or maybe you didn't give anything at all?"

Apart from this reason, Lin Jiuyue couldn't think of any other reason why people wouldn't sell things to Gu Chengyan.

Logically speaking, as a general of the army, Gu Chengyan should have no trouble buying food. How could he not be able to buy food?

"That's not the case. They just don't have that much food..."

Lin Jiuyue: ...

Although he brought back a truckload of food and other things, the quantity was not very large. Fortunately, he did not take out a lot of things, otherwise, it would really arouse Gu Chengyan's suspicion.

"Haha, that might be because I didn't buy much."

"Sister, where are the things you bought?"

Lin Qiye looked around but couldn't find the things Lin Jiuyue bought. However, he did see something covered with oilcloth in a corner of the tent. Because it was covered with oilcloth, Lin Qiye didn't know what was underneath.

"Hey, there it is."

The things that were taken out were all things that existed in this world, like oranges, which were only available in this season. Lin Jiuyue was not afraid of being found out.

After listening to this, Lin Qiye walked forward, lifted the oilcloth and took a look, then covered it again as it was before.

“Why would you need so many things?”

"I'm worried that the experiment might fail and I won't have enough raw materials, so I prepared some extra. It's better to be prepared, right?"

Experiments are about trying things over and over again, so you definitely need to prepare more. That way, if an experiment fails, you'll have the raw materials for the next one.

"Sister, do you need help here?"

Lin Qiye knew that his sister had a magical space, and he also knew that in order to prevent others from knowing the existence of this space, his sister would definitely not let others help.

If my sister really needs help, then I am the best choice.

Lin Jiuyue thought for a moment and turned to look at Gu Chengyan.

"If Qiye comes to help me, will there be any consequences?"

Gu Chengyan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"It doesn't have much of an impact, but I can arrange for someone else to help you. Qiye has more suitable things to do."

Helping Jiuyue here would be detrimental to Qiye's promotion. Someone as outstanding as Qiye should be placed in a more important position.

Hearing this, Lin Jiuyue turned around and looked at Lin Qiye again.

"Qiye, what do you think? Do you want to stay here and help, or do you want to return to the battlefield?"

"Sister, I can handle this by myself."

Making antibiotics doesn't require much work, so I can do it by myself. If things really don't work out, I can call Bubble out to help.

But if he asked others to help, Lin Jiuyue would never agree to do so.

Not to mention that one needs to be extremely careful when making these medicine-related things, even matters in one's own space cannot be known to outsiders.

Hearing this, Lin Qiye fell silent.

"Sister, just like what Brother Gu said, I think if you can handle it, then I still want to go to the battlefield."

Lin Qiye still felt a little sad after seeing his brothers who had fought alongside him die on the battlefield.

But war will result in death, and apart from going to the battlefield to avenge them, there is nothing else I can do.

"Since you already have the answer in your mind, then go ahead. I can handle it here by myself."

It’s not a big deal, but it just takes some time.

After listening to this, Lin Qiye nodded.

"If you're too busy, call me anytime."

The three chatted for a while before Gu Chengyan and Lin Qiye left.

Five days later, Lin Jiuyue opened the oilcloth and found that everything underneath had grown mold.

After collecting the Penicillium, Lin Jiuyue began to prepare the culture medium.

After the culture medium is prepared, the collected Penicillium is placed in the culture medium. This process requires waiting for seven days.

During the seven days of waiting, Lin Jiuyue prepared everything else that needed to be prepared.

After all the preparations are done, we just wait to extract penicillin.

Rapeseed oil is also needed for the extraction of penicillin.

There was no rapeseed oil in this dynasty, but Lin Jiuyue accidentally got rapeseed seeds when he was fleeing famine, and by chance he planted rapeseed.

Now, rapeseed oil comes in handy.

Time passed little by little, and finally came to the last step, which was also the most critical step.

In the tent, Lin Jiuyue carefully scooped out the top three layers of liquid from the earthenware jar.

Suddenly, a shout was heard from the door of the tent.

"sister!"

Lin Jiuyue's hands trembled in shock at the word "sister".

Fortunately, the bottom layer of water-like substance has not been destroyed.

Lin Jiuyue turned around and glared at Lin Qiye.

"What are you yelling about? You're already an adult, why are you still so reckless?"

After being scolded by Lin Jiuyue, Lin Qiye scratched his head embarrassedly.
