Buckingham Palace, London.

"Chinese? Dear Albert, you say that Jason the Ripper's ancestors are from China? It's incredible. ”

The one who spoke was a short stature, beautiful facial features, and a little fleshy looking foreign girl. I saw her wearing a silk nightgown embroidered with exquisite patterns, sitting on the edge of the bed with a cup of black tea in her hand, looking at the handsome young man holding a German newspaper on the sofa opposite, just like a little girl from the star-chasing clan.

This chubby chick looks, uh, it's not an ordinary person! In fact, she is Queen Victoria, the current monarch of the British Empire! And the young man who was called "dear Albert" by the queen was the uncrowned king of the British Empire, Prince Albert, the husband of Queen Victoria.

Anyone who was close to the Buckingham court knew that their queen admired her husband and obeyed him, and Prince Albert often attended meetings between the queen and her ministers, gave her advice to the queen in all kinds of ways, helped her in her affairs, and often sent letters to the ministers in the name of the queen, and made notes, comments or suggestions on state affairs. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was the uncrowned king or the king behind the scenes of the British Empire.

"Alexandrina," said Prince Albert, putting down the newspaper in his hand and smiling at his wife in German, "said so in the latest issue of the Rheinische Zeitung. Zhu is indeed Chinese. I think he must be the smartest of all Chinese, no, of all the yellow races! Blood transfusion therapy, bacterial staining, bacterial culture, and various disinfection and sterilization methods can be regarded as an important scientific discovery or invention. But I think his greatest contribution was in the prevention of puerperal fever and caesarean sections. ”

The queen took a sip of black tea and touched her big belly - the queen was almost seven months pregnant. Her married life with Prince Albert is undoubtedly very sweet, and the sweet married life has turned Queen Bixia into a baby giving birth machine, she has been pregnant three times in the past 3 years, gave birth to a princess and a prince, and is now pregnant with a third child in her belly. Historically, the queen had a total of nine children with Prince Albert, and is said to have had a relationship with her later lover and servant, John Albert. Brown gave birth to a daughter. According to the average maternal mortality rate due to dystocia or puerperal fever in this era, it is indeed a miracle that Queen Victoria lived to be 81 years old.

"C-section!" The queen stuck out her tongue, "How much it hurts!" I can't stand ......."

"You can use anesthesia, this Jason. Zhu also invented morphine hydrochloride and diethyl X morphine, two very effective anesthetics that can minimize the pain of surgery. Albert looked at his wife dotingly, "In addition, there are British doctors experimenting with chloroform as a surgical anesthetic, and I think that by the time our third child is born, the problem of surgical anesthesia will definitely be solved." ”

"Morphine hydrochloride and diethyl X-morphine?" The queen frowned, "Isn't it a derivative of opium?" ”

Prince Albert smiled: "My dear, don't underestimate these two derivatives of opium. The people of the Royal Society of Medicine say that the significance of these two medicines to medicine cannot be overemphasized! In fact, many drugs on the market today are mostly adulterated with opium or morphine...... Basically, the drugs used to relieve illness and discomfort are all opioids. And this morphine hydrochloride is ten times more potent than opium! Die-B X morphine is thirty times more than opium! Moreover, morphine hydrochloride and diethyl X morphine have good water solubility, and can be directly used as injections for subcutaneous injection after treatment, so that the anesthetic effect will be greatly enhanced! ”

The queen nodded, "Well, then speaking of which, these two narcotics can be used for surgical analgesia, shouldn't the army be equipped with some?" ”

"It's not just surgical analgesia, honey, don't you understand? The emergence of morphine hydrochloride and diethyl X morphine will completely eliminate opium from the European pharmaceutical market! And because they are more miraculous, the drugs they produce will inevitably be popular, more expensive, and more profitable......"

"Will opium be replaced?" The queen nervously turned the teacup in her hand, her eyes fixed, "Wait, dear Albert, you said that the patent rights of morphine hydrochloride and diethyl X morphine are in the hands of this Chinese?" ”

Prince Albert nodded heavily and said, "With these two patents, he can control all drugs with morphine hydrochloride and diethyl X morphine added!" Or in other words, he will monopolize the pharmaceutical market in Europe! ”

"Monopolize the European pharmaceutical market? Dear Albert, you're not kidding, are you? ”

The Queen of England looked at Dr. Blomstein in amazement. This is too sensational, although no one knows how big the plate of the European pharmaceutical market is? But one thing is for sure, this is definitely a big deal no less than textiles! Just like wearing clothes, getting sick is something that everyone can't avoid in their lives, and if you get sick, you have to take medicine! How many people are there in Europe right now? It seems to have exceeded 300 million! If every European spends an average of one shilling a year on medicine, that's a big market of almost £30 million a year!

In fact, Europeans are bound to spend more than £30 million a year on medicines, and maybe £90 million, which is about the same as the UK's revenue. Such a large market is monopolized by Zhu Jishi alone, even if he controls one-tenth of it.

"Alexandrina! I'm not kidding, Jason. Zhu's assistant informed the Royal Society of Medicine. Sir Reed told me that Jason. Zhu has found in experiments that a drug called berberine hydrochloride has a strong antibacterial effect, which can kill Vibrio cholerae, Staphylococcus aureus and tuberculosis bacteria......"

"Vibrio cholerae? Tuberculosis bacteria? Although the Queen of England did not understand medicine, she could literally know what these two bacteria were, she took a breath and looked at Prince Albert, "Is it the germ that causes cholera and tuberculosis?" ”

"That's right! There is also a type of Staphylococcus aureus that is the biggest culprit of puerperal fever! ”

Tuberculosis, cholera, puerperal fever...... If you were to rank the top 10 deadliest diseases in Europe of this era, these three would definitely be among them! If it can be cured by this berberine hydrochloride, this market alone may have millions or even tens of millions of pounds a year, right?

"Who owns the patent for berberine hydrochloride?"

"It was also Jason. Zhu mastered! Prince Albert looked at the Queen of England and said solemnly: "Alexandrina, the French Academy of Sciences has already given it to Jason. Zhu sent out an invitation letter to elect him as an academician of the French Academy of Sciences! ”

"Academician of the Academy of Sciences! A Chinese? The Queen of England thought about it and suddenly realized that something was wrong, suddenly accentuated her tone, and said in a deep voice: "No! This Chinese cannot be co-opted by France! Otherwise, the entire European pharmaceutical market will be monopolized by France! ”

"Yes, and all of Europe will treat us fools who don't respect science!" Prince Albert had a hint of anger on his face, apparently directed at the District Court of London and the Royal Society of Medicine.

"But...... How should we keep this Chinese in the UK? ”

Prince Albert raised his eyebrows, "Isn't he just a member of the Academy of Sciences?" We also have the Royal Society, and we can elect him a Fellow of the Royal Society at the Annual Election Conference in March. ”

The queen nodded, the number of members of the Royal Society is not fixed, the total number is several times more than the members of the French Academy of Sciences, and there can be 4 new foreign members every year, and it is nothing to give Zhu Jishi one.

Prince Albert paused, and then continued: "In addition, we can award him the Copley Medal, and even canonize him as a baron." ”

"From the baron? A Chinese? Dear Albert, you're not kidding, are you? ”

"What's not to do? Dear Alexandrina, I remember that several Indians have received the baronial title of the British Empire, so a Chinese weishenme cannot get this title? ”

Victoria was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Isn't it just a scientist with several patents?" Is it worth the effort to win him over? And he is still a Chinese! China has just fought a war with us! ”

Prince Albert frowned, "It is precisely because China has just fought a war with us that this great scientist of Chinese descent is even more worthy of our wooing!" Alexandrina, don't you see the potential value of this Chinese scientist? ”

"Potential value?"

"What do you mean......"

"Alexandrona, do you remember that prophecy of Napoleon?" Prince Albert's complexion grew gloomy.
