Chapter 150: No one knows microbes better than I do

Zhao Shizhen's face was full of pious light, as if what he was holding in his hand was an incomparably sacred treasure.

First of all, it can be ruled out that it is not a gun, otherwise Zhao Shizhen's face should be an idiot.

He carefully put the exquisite wooden box on the table, and the three famous doctors saw that the lid of the rosewood box was also engraved with a line of high-end and high-grade official scripts.

Li Shizhen looked at the line carefully and said, "No one knows microbes better than me. ”

"Wow, that's a big breath." Li Yuanming couldn't help laughing.

"What are microorganisms?" Wan Mi Zhai asked with a smile.

"It's a creature that can't be seen with the naked eye." Zhao Hao smiled faintly and said: "I call it a microorganism, and the reason why people get sick is mostly because of these invisible gadgets."

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Yuanming and said, "Mr. Nantong's so-called 'Gu worm juvenile' is a similar thing. ”

The adult worms of schistosomiasis are between twelve and twenty millimeters and are visible to the naked eye, and all three famous doctors have seen it with their own eyes. But where this thing comes from and how it grows is a mystery for the ages, so it is called 'Gu worm disease' at this time.

That's right, in fact, the Gu poison used by Miao Jiang is a variety of disease-causing microorganisms.

"I can't see it anyway, whatever you want." Li Yuanming is actually a very amiable elder, but his professionalism and pride as a medical scientist make it difficult for him to accept this statement.

No matter how much Zhao Gongzi gives, he can't do it.

"What if I could make you visible?" Zhao Hao gently stroked the sandalwood box and asked with a smile.

"If Childe can let me wait to see this thing, it will be a merit." Wan Mi Zhai is the right color road.

"Not bad." Li Shizhen also nodded and said: "I will write it into the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and indicate that it was discovered by Zhao Gongzi." ”

"Haha, it doesn't have to be." Zhao Hao waved his hand, and said in his heart that I have a large group of apprentices, if I have to rely on the "Compendium of Materia Medica" to become famous in the end, it will be a failure.

"Otherwise, if I can get the three of them to see the microbes they've never seen before, including, of course, the larvae of the schistosome...... You just stay in Kunshan for a few years, how about we happily study medicine together? ”

Zhao Shizhen was secretly excited when he heard this, and said in his heart that science is really invincible, and everything is clear. There is nothing in this world that Master does not understand!

The three famous doctors naturally have no reason to refuse, if what Zhao Hao said is true, they will also stay and study this new microbial world.

Although they can accurately grasp the symptoms of the disease by looking, smelling, and asking, they have never understood the real cause of the disease, and only rely on speculation to figure it out.

But seeing and hearing is the most real, and being able to see the cause of illness with your own eyes is the dream of every doctor.

"Okay, as long as Childe can let me see that...... Microbe. Li Shizhen nodded happily and said, "I will live in Kunshan." ”

The heart said that I didn't plan to leave the gold lord father anyway.

Li Yuanming also nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The salt merchants had already paid him three years' wages, and at least when Zhao Erye was the magistrate of the county, it was impossible for him to leave Kunshan.

Seeing that both of them agreed, Wan Mizhai also nodded casually.

"Okay, let's make a decision." Zhao Hao happily opened the box.

The three famous doctors saw that in the velvet-lined wooden box stood a strange instrument made of brass, which looked like a lampstand.

"What is this?" The three of them gathered around and looked at the delicate instrument curiously.

I saw that it was more than a foot high, and a copper pillar was cast on the circular base, and on the pillar was a square anvil, and there was a small round mirror under the anvil. On the anvil table is a cylinder that can be adjusted in height.

Yes, this is exactly Zhao Wenhaoke...... Oh no, invented by Zhao Gongzi, the world's first microscope.

The structure is very similar to that of the optical microscope used by middle school students in later generations for experiments, except that there is no rotating light bar and objective converter.

For Zhao Gongzi, who can already make binoculars, there is no technical difficulty, it is nothing more than a question of how to turn the design into reality.

Relying on Zhao Gongzi's own hands, he can't make it for ten years. But he's rich and there's someone.

With the blessing of banknote ability, as long as Zhao Gongzi puts forward the concept, Zhao Shizhen will help draw drawings and models, there will be professional mirror grinders to grind glass, and skilled coppersmiths will create accessories.

He can extravagantly use the best East China Sea crystals to make various multiples of lenses to try to combine, and if it is not suitable, he will tear it down and start over. To save time, several different styles of microscopes can be built at the same time to verify which one is most appropriate for the moment.

"The name of this thing is 'microscope', and it was exclusively developed by our science department." Zhao Hao caressed the retractable cylinder and said: "This thing can be known microscopically, and it is the most magical." ”

"Microscope?" Li Yuanming twisted his beard and said: "The body is used with one source, and the microscope is seamless." That's a good name. ”

Zhao Hao also nodded, and said in his heart, let you say this, and suddenly feel that this name is tall.

"As Fang just said, not every snail has eggs to parasitize. To save time, I asked the students to prepare a batch of slices and select a few that had larvae. ”

Then he picked up a thin piece of glass, carefully rested it on the stage, pressed his eyes to the objective, and said as he adjusted the focus:

"You can take a look at what it looks like first, and then you can make your own slices with snails, and soon you will find the larvae from it...... Of course, you must take good precautions, otherwise you will be infected. ”

"Hmm." The three of them nodded, they wanted to see microbes now, and they didn't want to care about anything else.

"Look." Zhao Hao adjusted the focus and put it aside.

The three doctors humbly conceded and let the eldest Wan Mi Zhai go first.

Old Man Wan followed Zhao Hao's example, put one eye on the eyepiece, and looked at it with wide eyes.

In a chaotic liquid, several pear-shaped, symmetrical left and right, covered with ciliated insects, were wandering slowly.

"This, this is the Gu worm?" Old Man Wan had pimples all over his body.

"Not bad." Zhao Hao nodded and said, "This is what it looks like after being magnified three hundred times." ”

The eyepiece that could magnify ten times, combined with the objective lens with thirty magnification, magnified the object on the glass plate by a full three hundred times!

The larvae of schistosomiasis are between 30 and 80 microns, and when magnified 300 times, they are a full 1 to 2 centimeters in size!

Not only can you see it, but you can also clearly see its evil appearance.

"I'll see, I'll see!" The two Dr. Li couldn't hold back, and took turns to watch, and Li Shizhen also drew a sketch of this thing on the spot.

The three famous doctors are like children who have gotten new toys, they can't put it down, and they can't move their nests anymore.

Zhao Hao had no choice but to cancel the next trip, asked his disciples to get two more microscopes, and gave them eucommia rubber gloves and large masks.

In order to protect the three treasure-level medical scientists, he also issued protective glasses to the three of them.

With soft and hard Eucommia ulmoides glue, Zhao Hao even put on rubber shoes, and it is very reasonable to make rubber gloves and protective glasses.

ps. The first of the three consecutive shifts, ask for a monthly pass!!
