First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 340 Penicillin Moving Forward

Although Zheng Wenxiu was a noble lady in the capital, she didn't know much about the affairs of the imperial palace. So when Zhao Xiuwan said this, she became very interested and started chatting with Zhao Xiuwan.

Zhao Xiuwan and Zheng Wenxiu talked about many secrets of the palace. After the conversation, the two became as close as sisters.

Su Jixiang went to the villa for something.

Before that, she copied a note to Wei Ling, which recorded the simple method of refining steel, making gunpowder and all other simple firearms.

There are also things like making honeycomb briquettes and coal-burning stoves.

Now the honeycomb coal and stoves have been made, and I heard that even glass has been fired. Su Jixiang entered the villa to see the results of those people's research and development of these things in recent days.

Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning have also gone to other cities and counties to register three businesses. They are just waiting for her to develop all the products in the other courtyard so that they can sell them in large quantities through the businesses!

If you trace the origins of these businesses, it is difficult to trace them back to Su Jixiang.

In this way, not only can he avoid the eyes and ears of others, but he can also provide Wei Ling with more ways to make money in the future.

Su Jixiang also wrote a note on how to extract penicillin and gave it to Zhou Ziqi.

Zhou Ziqi has also been working hard in the villa these days, and I heard that he has isolated Penicillium!

Therefore, Su Jixiang's quarrel with Wei Ling was just a pretext. On the one hand, it could paralyze those guys in Mangcheng who always kept their eyes on the couple, and on the other hand, it could be a reason to get away and go to the villa to see what to do next.

As soon as they entered the villa, Zhou Ziqi was the first one to look for Su Jixiang.

These days he told people that he was going to the mountains to collect herbs and conduct medical treatments, but in fact he was hiding in the villa to refine penicillin.

Su Jixiang told him that after many soldiers suffered trauma on the battlefield, the most fatal thing was not the location and size of the wound, but the infection after treatment.

This point touched Zhou Ziqi's heart deeply.

He also followed Wei Ling across the country and fought in many battles, so he has the most say.

Sometimes the wound is obviously not serious or fatal, but the injured person will often have a fever. If the high fever does not go away, the person will die!

After a period of exploration, they learned to use boiled water to clean the wounds, which greatly increased the survival rate of the wounded.

However, these are the experiences they have summed up on the battlefield, and they don't know why there is such a reason. Su Jixiang and Zhou Ziqi said that she had seen a strange book in the palace, which stated the reason. It is because there are many creatures that are too small to be seen by the naked eye around us, and many wounds are caused by the existence of these things.

And these things can be killed by penicillin!

When Zhou Ziqi learned that Su Jixiang had arrived, he excitedly pulled Su Jixiang into his yard.

"Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission!" Zhou Ziqi's face was not very good. He had been almost sleepless for this period of time because of the penicillin.

Although Zhou Ziqi looked pale, he couldn't hide the excitement in his words.

"What is recorded in Madam's strange book is so amazing!" Zhou Ziqi couldn't wait to show his achievements to Su Jixiang.

He opened and uncovered a row of curtains, behind which lay several cages.

There are a group of rabbits in the cage...

"These are the rabbits that have been treated with penicillin!" Zhou Ziqi showed them to Su Jixiang. "These rabbits were injured together with the ones in the cages next to them, and most of their wounds were infected. But the rabbits on this side have been treated with the penicillin I extracted using the method you provided, and all of them have survived. The symptoms of infection disappeared in a few days, while the rabbits over here have not been treated with penicillin. Look at the comparison!"

The rabbits on the left are obviously full of vitality. Although there are wounds on their bodies, they are still lively and can eat and sleep.

The rabbits in the cage on the right were lying on their stomachs, looking half dead.

"Madam, this penicillin is amazing!" Zhou Ziqi rubbed his hands excitedly.

"You are so amazing! I just provided a method, but you actually did it!" Su Jixiang said with a smile.

"Madam, your method is really powerful!" Zhou Ziqi bowed to Su Jixiang again. "The method provided by Madam can save countless Black Tiger Army soldiers! I bow to Madam here!"

"Don't worship me!" Su Jixiang waved his hands quickly and said, "According to our previous agreement, this note should be destroyed!"

"Here is the notebook." Although Zhou Ziqi was a little reluctant, he still took out Su Jixiang's notebook and handed it back to Su Jixiang in person, "Madam, don't worry, I definitely didn't make any other copies!"

"If I didn't believe in Doctor Zhou's character, I wouldn't have given this thing to Doctor Zhou to refine!" Su Jixiang took the note with a smile and burned it in front of Zhou Ziqi.

Although this thing can save many lives, its existence is still a bit too outrageous. No matter from what angle you consider it, the fewer people who know about it, the better!

Therefore, Su Jixiang and Zhou Ziqi had an agreement that the note provided by Su Jixiang was only for Zhou Ziqi's reference and refining. If it was refined, all the penicillin produced by Zhou Ziqi would belong to Su Jixiang. Su Jixiang had the absolute right to distribute penicillin.

Zhou Ziqi's life was saved by Wei Ling, so in Zhou Ziqi's view, these requests were nothing at all.

"The first batch of penicillin is in the house." Zhou Ziqi said to Su Jixiang, "There are thirty bottles in total. Give them to Madam first!"

"This is for you." Su Jixiang took out another note and handed it to Zhou Ziqi.

"What is this?" Zhou Ziqi took it and unfolded it. His eyes lit up. He read what Su Jixiang had given him, "Microscope!"

"Yes, a microscope." Su Jixiang smiled. "Don't you want to know about things that are invisible to the naked eye? You can use this to make simple observations. I didn't give it to you before because I didn't make glass. Now I heard that glass has been refined in the villa. I think you can find a craftsman to help you make one according to this drawing!"

Although the microscope drawing that Su Jixiang gave was the simplest kind of earth-made microscope, it was already very advanced under these conditions.

Besides, the basic requirement for making a microscope is to have a lens, and the lens is made of polished glass.

Only after glass was refined could it be possible to make a microscope.

And now, the craftsmen in the villa have really made glass!
