Chapter 557: Terrible Bacteria
Who is Liu Lang, although he is a pure soldier, but he is also a person who has been honed in the officialdom of the military factory for several years, and the changes in the faces of those guys who only focus on interests can escape his eyes.
After a while, he said: "I know, this cake is a little big and scares the big guys, I am afraid that the money to buy the cake will be invested in the cake but I will not eat it in the end and lose all my money." In this case, I won't talk about the chemical steel and cement, but let's talk about medicine with the big guys first. You haven't been to Europe or the United States! β
The bigwigs shook their heads one after another, whether it is Europe or the United States, it is thousands of miles away, and if you go, you can only take a boat, at least half a year or more than a year, who will go there if there is nothing particularly important? Even Fan Xudong has only studied abroad and been to Japan.
"But there are people here who have been to the United States, such as Fan Ziran and Fan Gongzi." Liu Lang smiled slightly and pointed to Fan Ziran, who looked confused, and said.
"Fan Gongzi, you have spent a few years at Harvard University in the United States to study chemical engineering, you can tell me about the current research on anti-inflammatory drugs in the United States." Liu Lang first asked Fan Ziran. Then he turned his face to the bigwigs, half jokingly and half seriously, and said: "Fan Gongzi is Boss Fan's nephew, he shouldn't miss this investment intention, you shouldn't think Fan Gongzi is my childcare!" β
"Haha, what about that! Head Liu smiled. β
"Fan Gongzi is also a new elite in the business world, and with the careful cultivation of Boss Fan, we naturally believe in him."
The bigwigs are naturally beautiful and full of words, even if they have some doubts in their hearts, they have to hide, at this time, if anyone doesn't believe it, not only will they slap Liu Lang's face, but Boss Fan's face will also be beaten.
If you don't believe it, you have to believe it.
Fan Ziran looked at his uncle with some hesitation, Fan Xudong nodded, "Ziran, since Head Liu asked you to say it, you can tell it, I just want to know how much you have broadened your horizons in the United States in the past few years." However, you have to tell the truth, and don't make it up. β
"The technology of the Americans is indeed beyond the reach of China at present, and their chemical industry is very developedγγγγγ The financial sector is also thriving, but just after the financial crisis, the economy is at a low point, and it is still far from a full recovery, and if we go there to invest, their government should still welcome it. Fan Gongzi obviously did not eat, drink and have fun in the United States, but he still knew the American chemical industry and economy very well at that time.
It's just that this is completely contrary to the so-called pharmaceutical industry that Liu Lang asked him to say, and it is completely wrong.
Hearing this, Fan Xudong's brows were deeply twisted, and after listening patiently for a few minutes, he finally couldn't help but interrupt his nephew's chatter, "We can't finish investing in China, what are we going to invest in the United States?" Speaking of the key points, what are the new trends in the pharmaceutical industry? β
"But, uncle, the pharmaceutical industry is not my specialty, I am realγγγγγγ I don't know! Fan Ziran explained with a sad face.
All the big guys hurt for a while, I don't know, you just say no, it's over, what are you doing so much?
"Haha, I don't know. You are a stranger, if even you know about it, it means that they have developed it, so there is still our soup to drink? Liu Lang laughed.
All......
Dare to use me as a background wall! Fan Dagongzi looked at Liu Tuanzuo with a look of resentment.
"Okay, since Fan Gongzi can't tell you what happened in the medical industry in the United States and Europe, let me tell you about the major invention of a European doctor, although the vast majority of Europeans and Americans don't know, of course, as for how I know, this, I'm sorry, I can only keep it secret." A hint of mystery appeared on Liu Lang's face.
This must be kept secret, because what he knows is written in popular science books eighty years later, and if he says it, a bunch of bigwigs will not regard him as a godγγγγγγ Menstrual illness is a strange thing.
However, Liu Lang pretended to be so forced, and the faces of the business tycoons became collectively cautious, what kind of medicine can make a colonel of the national army taboo? Could it be that this has something to do with the state apparatus?
No matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, Liu Lang continued: "I am a soldier, and the word casualties are the most contacted, and the reason why the injuries are ranked before the dead is because there are more injured than dead. After the bloody era of surgery when Guan Yu scraped the bones to cure the poison, anesthetics and bandages appeared in the world, so that patients did not have to endure severe pain for surgery, nor did they have to rely on a red-hot soldering iron to treat the wound. But no matter how medical technology advances, it can't stop a microorganism from harvesting life, and it is bacteria!
As we all know, after a flood, people die of malaria, a bacterial infection, often hundreds of thousands, and the number is much higher than the flood itself, that is, in the United States, where science and technology are much higher than China's, during the American Civil War, more than 50,000 soldiers died of diarrhea due to dysentery alone. In the year following the end of World War I, a single influenza outbreak killed 20 million peopleγγγγγγ
The tiny giant of bacteria has attracted countless elites in the field of medicine to explore it for thousands of years, but to no avail. This happened until the advent of a field medic named Fleming. As a medical worker, Fleming was born at the bottom of society, and because he accidentally inherited the inheritance of a relative, he was able to have the money to study and enter the medical profession. But this respected profession meant a lifelong memory for him as a young man: he participated in the rescue of thousands of wounded on the battlefields of World War I that swept Europe, and witnessed the merciless death of most people, and the danger of worsening wound infections.
As the military doctor once said: It is precisely because of the war that he understands how powerless he is as a doctor. In the battle of the Great Wall of our independent regiment, more than 1,300 people were seriously injured, but how many survived? So let me tell you, 597 people, less than half, and even until now some people have died in hospitals, and I can't do anything about it. Even if I can build the head of the Japanese invader into a Kyoto view, even if I can lead the soldiers forward against the rain of bullets, I still can't do anything with that tiny bacterium. Whether they can survive or not can only depend on their luck. Speaking of this, Liu Lang's eyes were full of tears.
This is really not Liu Lang's acting, in this era of no antibacterial drugs, the soldiers under his command are really too heavy casualties, an independent regiment with a strong man of up to 2,500 people, after this battle, only more than 1,100 people survived, as many as 60 percent of the casualties, and hundreds of disabilities, of these 60 percent, at least 30 percent died in the hospital, if there is an antibacterial penicillin, his soldiers, at least 500 more people can survive.
500 lives! It was not lost in the battlefield under heavy artillery fire, but it was all lost in the mouths of those tiny bacteria.
There was silence in the audience.
The officers sitting over there, picking out any one of them, were all strong men, but now they were also full of tears.
They are not sad to die, they die on the battlefield, that is the fate of the warriors, and everyone is ready to be shrouded in horse leather the moment they go to the battlefield. However, the pain of powerlessness is even greater than seeing death itself, when the war is over, and watching his brother die on the sickbed, and he can't do anything.
And all of this is caused by damned bacteria, a problem that humans have not been able to overcome so far.
