Extraordinary Sailing

Yuanfan leads the north and belongs to Aiwen's high-standard biological laboratory.

In the glass still, broken green leaves, red, yellow, and purple petals are constantly tumbling in the boiling water, and the scorching steam rises with the essential oil separated from the oil storage cells.

It passes through the condensation pipe above the distiller, and continuously flows into the spiral condenser surrounded by cold water, and the last drop drops into the collection bottle below.

With a hand wearing a sterile glove, he took off the transparent collection bottle filled with the oil-water mixture, and replaced it with a new one by the way.

clatter!

The young man in protective clothing used the experimental equipment at hand to separate the oil and water with ease, and then filled the extracted essential oil into several glass bottles.

"Teacher, the essential oil of the split-leaf pineapple flower has been extracted, would you like to see it?"

Distillation is currently the most commonly used method for extracting plant essential oils, and there is no one.

About 95% of all kinds of essential oils are extracted by distillation, and other methods include pressing, solvent extraction, etc., which are applicable to medicinal ingredients of different properties.

Now this simple preparation process does not require Ivan to do it himself, and the second disciple Calvin is more than enough to go into battle.

After taking the finished product in Calvin's hands, Aiwen conducted several groups of controlled killing tests on the collected [Super Cyst Fungus], and obtained the expected results.

Take the test record and walk to the MD who is working at the other end of the laboratory.

"Dr. Taylor, the essential oil of pineapple flower is stable in nature and has an excellent killing effect on this pathogenic bacteria, and it is also the most suitable for large-scale preparation. I think this is the good medicine we are looking for."

"Split-leaf pineapple flower? Let me take a look."

Not long after Ivan and his party parted from Dr. Taylor, Gary led a group of guards to find him and escort him to Yuanfan collar.

When Yuanfan led the first batch of [cyst attendants] to attack, causing panic infection, timely action helped a lot. Of course, not only because of his vocation as a doctor, because of his great value as a professional medical wizard, he was originally the guest of honor of the Marquis.

When Aiwen and his party traveled through wind and rain, they flew across the entire New Granada vice-king area and the golden sea to Yuanfanling. Dr. Taylor, who had already been prepared, used the knowledge inherited from the "Vesalius School" to lock a series of targeted herbal medicines with the original strain as the medium:

Dajinhua plucked ear grass, rabbit wind crab beetle, butterbur hair split, split leaf pineapple flower

In fact, those who look down on traditional Chinese medicine do not know that even the original western medicine mostly comes from grass roots, bark and flowers in the vast nature.

It's just that pharmacists have researched and extracted the most effective, single-ingredient chemical products. This is the purer and simpler western medicine than traditional Chinese medicine, which is extracted and made by westerners in the future.

For example, aspirin is an alias of acetylsalicylic acid, which is a synthetic product produced through the synthesis of the active ingredient "salicylic acid", which is named after a kind of "salicylic willow" from the willow tree.

The original source of the API is the resin extracted from willow bark and the sap extracted from willow leaves.

Quinine is a specific medicine for treating malaria, and it also comes from a flowering evergreen plant, the famous cinchona tree.

Initially, the bark of the cinchona tree itself was widely promoted as an antimalarial drug. Two hundred years after it was used as medicine, some pharmacists extracted an alkaloid called "quinine" from it, which transformed it into a conventional western medicine.

Currently in this age of great voyages, with the gradual development of experimental medicine.

Natural plant extracts or essential oils have begun to gradually replace the bottled decoctions with complex ingredients derived from wizards' "Potion Science", becoming an important weapon in the hands of pharmacists, and will soon become the main form of medicine in the mundane world.

If another hundred or two hundred years pass, natural substances will either be raw materials for making medicines or reference samples for artificial products. Chemists will also produce more and more chemical compounds that are not found in nature, which will lead to the great prosperity of western medicine.

Of course, it is now in the initial stage of medical science, and Aiwen and the others are far from having the corresponding hardware conditions and knowledge system.

Extracting essential oils containing active ingredients directly from plants is currently the easiest and the only way to produce enough medicines to solve diseases at the fastest speed, which is simpler than replicating its complex effects chemically.

As for the pharmaceutical giants in modern society, why they never promote these natural medicines with complex ingredients is not because they are not effective, but simply because it is difficult for pharmaceutical giants to obtain patent rights for the corresponding drug formulas, and then profit from them.

For Ivan, this problem does not exist.

In cooperation with Dr. Taylor, they finally selected a plant that is widely distributed in the subtropics and tropics of the New World from several candidate plants: "Split-leaved Pineapple Flower" of the Bignoniaceae Artemisia genus.

The essential oil components directly extracted from it can exert a strong killing effect on the [super cyst fungus] modified by witchcraft, and even have a broad-spectrum inhibitory effect on many other germs.

In particular, the growth range of this plant is very wide, even if the most simple and crude distillation extraction method is used, the active ingredients will not be destroyed, and it is convenient for large-scale preparation.

Moreover, it is not like the antibiotic that Ivan is planning to manufacture, which may have strong side effects on the human body, and an allergy test must be conducted in advance before use.

This also means that they don't need to conduct too complicated human experiments, and they can go to the market directly!

"I don't think there is a problem, Mr. Aiwen. Although it is not the one with the best bactericidal effect, considering various factors, this drug can fully meet all our current requirements."

After reading the experimental report and the comparison of several alternative drugs, Dr. Taylor also agreed with Ivan's choice with some excitement.

Sand.. Sand.. Sand..

By the way, from the professional point of view of an excellent doctor, a prescription on how to use this new drug was left at the bottom of the report.

Combined with this plant essential oil named [Rucin] because of its color and several auxiliary medicines, it is expected to be enough to cure the second generation of patients infected by [Cyst Attendants] within three days.

However, after being absorbed by the cyst fungus too much nutrition, it is inevitable to be weak for a long time.

As for the first generation of patients who were directly infected by the "Plague Cloud", it is not yet certain. Because they don't have such patients at hand for the time being, even if there are some who come here, they have already been burned as the source of infection.

And Aiwen is very suspicious, after killing two members of the "Poison Epidemic School", would they dare to continue spreading germs with such a big fanfare.

Although this time because of various coincidences and the pertinence of the road, they fell into their own hands.

However, it is impossible to question the viability of the "Poison Epidemic School" and its powerful threat to ordinary people. If you keep a low profile, you can at least live a good life.

At the same time, Aiwen couldn't help but think deeply, just a germ in a crystal cave can cause such a big trouble, so what kind of power will the various pathogens that humans don't know much about break out?

Even common diseases that are very popular among oceangoing sailors: malaria, yellow fever, bloody dysentery, edema, colds, and parasitic diseases. These are more troublesome than one another, and they cannot be solved by just relying on strength.

So when Calvin left the laboratory with the report and the warrant issued by Ivan, collected raw materials, and summoned craftsmen to prepare for large-scale preparation.

Aiwen asked the doctor who was sorting out the experimental equipment beside him:

"Dr. Taylor, after solving the matter here, do you have any other plans?"

After finding the special medicine, Taylor, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, did not expect Ivan to ask this question. After thinking for a while, he answered him very honestly:

"I may choose to continue to travel to the magical new continent and improve my medical skills in the process of continuous treatment. If I can make some kind of groundbreaking medical results and leave a mark in the medical canon, it will not be a waste of my decades of work." medical career."

Ai Wen also knew that this seemingly middle-aged doctor was actually close to seventy years old. Just because of the nature of an official wizard and the special knowledge in his hands, his physical condition is much better than that of ordinary people.

It is completely unimaginable for such an "old man" to travel across the ocean and across the Black Sea to the New World without firm belief or obsession.

Therefore, after hearing what he said, Aiwen felt certain that his plan this time should be stable.

He stared into Taylor's eyes and said very sincerely:

"With such great ambitions, you are destined to be a great doctor.

It just so happens that I have an idea that may inspire you.

Essential oils derived from plants have a variety of effects because they contain specific natural ingredients. "

When the other party couldn't help listening, Ivan dropped a blockbuster.

"And I discovered a class of special substances produced by certain microorganisms, which can also be used to treat various bacterial infections or diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms, which I named: antibiotics.

Moreover, they have much better antibacterial effect than natural plant extracts, and they are destined to be the gospel of countless patients suffering from diseases.

Most importantly, this is a brand-new category of drugs, and its inventor is destined to be famous in the history of medicine! "

Looking directly at Dr. Taylor, who was already blushing and short of breath, Ivan finally showed a devilish smile:

"I haven't fully completed the experimental part, and the second author of the paper is currently unavailable, so I don't know."

"Please be sure to give me this opportunity to contribute to the cause of human medicine!"

Looking at Dr. Taylor who had already bowed to the end in front of him, Ivan was in a very happy mood, and he clenched his fist lightly:

"Ship doctor, get!"
