Chapter 89 Penicillin Emerges



He Yuan looked at his sad wife.

"Doctor Xiao Wen, what should we pay attention to now?"

Wenwen shook her head. "The most important thing right now is to stay cheerful. Also, we're in the period of inflammatory bowel disease, so we have to be careful and eat a balanced diet."

Wenwen looked at He Yuan: "Have you decided to keep this child?"

"We want to give it a try." He Yuan hugged his wife tightly.

The couple looked at each other firmly.

This man demonstrates a resolute and persistent character. It's clear he cares deeply for his wife and is unwilling to give up their shared future, even at the risk of having a deformed child. This persistence reflects his sense of responsibility and commitment to his family.

He may be brave and decisive, willing to face difficulties and uncertainties. He is not intimidated by potential difficulties, but chooses to face them with his wife, showing his strength and courage.

Overall, this man's character can be described as determined, persistent, and responsible, but he may also have some stubborn tendencies. His decisions and actions demonstrate his deep love for his wife and family, as well as his courage in the face of difficulties.

Maybe many people do not agree with such views and practices, but we respect everyone's choice.

Ahem, Wenwen didn’t want to interrupt the young couple’s affectionate gaze.

"Actually, the situation isn't as bad as you think. Once the inflammation is over, I'll prepare a special detox drink for you. Once the toxins are eliminated, there shouldn't be any major problems."

"Really?" The couple said in unison in surprise.

Wenwen touched her nose guiltily. What detox drink? It was actually just spring water from the valley. She didn't know if spring water had this function, but drinking it would definitely be good for the fetus. The main thing was to give pregnant women hope and not worry all day long.

She had just thought of this. Looking at this loving couple, she decided to help. After all, pregnant women also need to stay happy.

In fact, when she lived in the Youth League Home, she didn't like He Yuan very much. She always felt that he was too utilitarian, but today, her opinion of him has changed.

After seeing off the young couple, Wenwen was not so optimistic. No one knew when the epidemic would end, and no one could guarantee whether they would be infected with the herpes simplex virus.

Fortunately, everyone in the Wen family compound was fine, and her family in Beijing was also fine.

She folded her hands and prayed that she could develop penicillin as soon as possible.

Perhaps her prayers moved heaven and earth...

The next afternoon, He Hongchi was holding the culture dish and was so excited that he was incoherent.

"Apprentice, you, look, is this true? Is this how you eat the surrounding bacteria?"

Wenwen saw the rice-shaped penicillin in the middle of the culture dish. Originally, the entire culture dish was full of viruses and bacteria, but now a circle of white circles had formed around the rice grains, which showed that the penicillin had inhibited the virus.

Wenwen couldn't help but get excited: "Master, that's great, it worked, Master, you're so awesome, you're really amazing."

Oh my god! To say they went through untold hardships and hardships, carrying backpacks and carrying bamboo baskets, would not be an exaggeration. During this period, they had gone through thousands of experiments to extract penicillin, and each time they failed. Unexpectedly, they finally succeeded.

He Hongchi came back to his senses after being praised by Wenwen. He coughed twice and reminded his apprentice seriously.

"It's nothing, actually. Are you so excited about this little thing? Mind your image. You are the apprentice of a miracle doctor."

I didn't expect that He Hongchi also developed penicillin, which is more expensive than gold. Haha, he is indeed the most powerful doctor.

Well, calm down, stay calm...

"Master, how did you do it? I've tried so many methods before but none of them worked."

"I don't know if it was true, actually. That day, Xiaojie mischievously poured vinegar into the water used to wash the toner. I didn't know it at the time, but I just felt that the water had a faint sour taste."

Actually, Shi Weijie felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach that day. After He Hongchi took his pulse, he found that he had a little intestinal gas. It was not serious and he did not need to take any medicine. However, the child felt that he had to take medicine when he was sick. So He Hongchi gave him some vinegar water to drink. But the child was naughty and poured some vinegar water into the water on the table that he was going to use to wash the toner.

He didn't know it at the time, but Xiaojie said it himself later. The child felt that he had caused trouble and wanted to admit his mistake.

But the culture dish was already ready, and he was too lazy to care about it, but he didn't expect it to succeed.

"We need to conduct further tests to see if it's because of the vinegar water." He Hongchi was unsure.

Wenwen slapped her forehead. Penicillin is an acidic substance and will not dissolve in acid. Therefore, acidic water made from vinegar must be used, which must be deeply filtered again. Finally, alkaline water must be poured in to dissolve the penicillin in the carbon powder. In this way, a high-concentration penicillin solution can be extracted.

"It must have been successful after washing with vinegar water." Wenwen was annoyed in her heart, how could she have forgotten.

He Hongchi laughed heartily: "It's an unexpected success. I will reward Xiaojie well in the future."

Wenwen nodded. She felt that every major invention was discovered by accident.

One day in 1928, British scientist Alexander Fleming stumbled upon a laboratory discovery in which bacteria surrounding a fungus were significantly inhibited. After further research, he discovered that the fungus produced a powerful bactericidal substance, which would later be named penicillin.

It is said that this bacteriologist discovered it by accident.

The most important penicillin solution has been extracted and needs further purification.

After several days of experiments day and night, the master and apprentice finally produced penicillin pills.

Wenwen looked at the rough penicillin pills. There was no advanced equipment to purify them, so she could only extract the roughest penicillin.

Moreover, penicillin of low purity is not suitable for everyone, and some people's physical constitutions are not suitable for it. This is why a skin test is required before injecting penicillin antibiotics. Although this pill is not an injection, it also has risks.

Wenwen told He Hongchi about all these concerns and asked him to make the decision. After all, he was a miracle doctor with rich experience.

After several days of busyness, the wrinkles on He Hongchi's face became deeper, and he pondered for a while.

"These are extraordinary times. Cases like the one you describe are rare, after all. We can explain clearly to patients before use that this is a new drug and we don't know its side effects. It all needs to go through clinical trials, and we don't have time to conduct those tests slowly right now. We can make a batch first, report it, and then we don't have to worry about what to do in the end."

They just need to develop the product and leave the rest to the people who should take care of it.

Wenwen nodded. She didn't have the energy to think too much now. She quickly made a batch of penicillin pills. Li Jianguo had to come several times. In a few days, many more villagers in the village were infected with the herpes zoster. Five or six of them had died. Now the people in Lijia Bay were in panic.
