Chapter 1297 Patulin
"Baga!"
"Pig trick!"
"A bastard without credit!"
Saburo Iguchi covered his wound with his hands and cursed, his forehead covered with cold sweat. This demon who killed countless people actually knew it was hurting at this moment.
Hasegawa Ryosuke walked out with the other person, raised his lips slightly upwards and quickly closed his smile. He was really afraid that he could not help laughing out loud, so he would feel a little embarrassed.
Since taking over the mission, Ikeguchi has been arrogant and rude and has not taken him seriously as the person in charge of his actions seriously. Fat Tiger's actions are really relieved.
However, on the surface, Hasea Ryosuke still pretended to be hypocritical: "Kun Ikeguchi, we must return to the safe house as soon as possible to treat you. I heard that penicillin is sold in the black market in Melbourne, but the price is relatively expensive."
Saburo Inuguchi shook his head and gritted his teeth and replied, "No, go find the Germans. The Republicans are right. We must verify that the drugs are authentic. The Empire Warriors need real penicillin."
Hasegawa Ryosuke was not surprised that these brainwashed guys were like this, so he helped Saburo Inoue get on the bus and rushed to the deal location that he had made an appointment with the Germans.
On the way, Saburo Inui briefly bandaged the wound, but did not clean it up. This is to prepare for drug experiments. From a certain perspective, Inui is indeed full of craftsman spirit.
Half an hour later.
In a gymnasium, Mulch raised his hand and looked at the watch, then looked at the suitcase on the ground, and was considering how much to offer the price to the Japanese.
Just as he was thinking, the voice of Hagu came from the gate. Muhyo squeezed out a smile and went up to him, but saw Ikeguchi walking in with a look of pain and immediately asked what happened to Haguchi.
"Mr. Mukh, the people of the Republic of China have no faith and actually attacked Ikeguchi." Hasea Ryosuke said indignantly.
Much was not interested in the conflict between the Republic of China and the Japanese. He cared about how much the Japanese were willing to pay for penicillin. After all, the white pound also had a cost, so he directly ordered someone to bring the suitcase.
"Mr. Hase, Mr. Iguchi, here is one-third of the bacterial species, half of the samples and the film negatives that record technical information." While introducing the items in the suitcase, Muhh opened the box to the Japanese.
Ryosuke Hasegawa glanced at the suitcase and proposed to try the medicine. Mulch naturally would not object. In fact, he was also very curious about the effect of the so-called new penicillin.
Soon, Abvell's doctor opened a bottle of sample, injected Saburo Ikeguchi with a needle and debridered it with normal saline dissolved powder.
Looking at the medicine liquid being pushed into the body, Saburo Inu took a deep breath and closed his eyes, silently felt the impact of the medicine on his body, and also used paper and pen to record something from time to time.
Because penicillin has a short half-life and the body metabolizes drugs faster, it is necessary to take medicine frequently. Next, German doctors inject the wellhead every few hours until the upper dose limit is reached, and then Japan and Germany left separately.
Haguchi and Mulch both knew that the transaction could not be reached for the time being before the drug effect was confirmed.
When he returned to the Japanese safe house, Hasegawa Ryosuke called Xing Hanliang and others to inform him of everything that happened today and the transaction with the Germans.
Xing Hanliang remained silent after hearing this. With his understanding of Zuo Chong, the other party could not let penicillin fall into the hands of the Japanese. There must be problems with the strains and information.
Tongsuo also had the same idea in his heart, but in order to avoid the Japanese settled the accounts in the aftermath, he still pretended to be cautious and reminded Hase to be careful of being cheated, which was echoed by Wu Sibao.
Hase nodded and turned to look at Saburo Inui who was scratching his head: "Iguchi, how do you feel? I think you don't feel very comfortable?"
Saburo Inguchi scratched his red neck and replied calmly: "It doesn't matter. The penicillin handed over to the Germans by the Republic of China must be inferior products. Rash and itching are normal. Hase-kun doesn't have to worry."
"Is it really okay?" Hasegawa Ryosuke frowned. The other party didn't look like he was fine now.
From the time I left the gym, a rash appeared on the neck of the wellhead, his lips were swollen like sausages, and his whole body looked like a blown balloon, looking a little scary.
Faced with doubts, Ikeguchi said that as a doctor, he is very clear about his physical condition and is more aware of the side effects of penicillin.
Hasegawa Ryosuke didn't know where this guy got the courage to say it was okay. After thinking for a while, he made two decisions. One was to continue to observe the effect of the drug, and the other was to inform Tokyo of this matter and show that he was cautious about drug transactions.
There will definitely be something wrong with the "new penicillin" in the future, and there is no doubt about this, so we must stay out of the matter to avoid being held accountable.
However, Saburo Inguchi was still stubborn and insisted on waiting for the treatment to be completed before discussing this issue. He claimed that as a scientist, he only believed in data and his own eyes.
In the afternoon of the same day, two dissenting opinions were sent to the Japanese cabinet. When they heard that Japan was about to have the latest type of penicillin, the senior Japanese officials at the meeting were ecstatic, but they were worried that the medicine would be defective.
After fierce debate, the big men came to the conclusion and waited for Saburo Inuki’s wound to recover. If everything was normal, then trade immediately and conduct a larger-scale human-physical experiment.
The Japanese troops in the pass have a large number of wounded soldiers every day. They are the best test subjects. Even if the drugs provided by the Military Control Commission are toxic, it doesn’t matter. At worst, you can send more postcards (death notice).
Cheap Army Red Deer has the opportunity to enjoy expensive magical medicine, which is a gift from the locust. Even if it dies, soldiers should be grateful for their kindness.
In the next week, the wellhead was injected with medicine on time, and the wound quickly improved, without inflammation or ulceration, but there was still rash on the skin and mild bleeding stools.
For this reason, German doctors and Ikeguchi studied it for several days and determined that this was a normal drug reaction. Hasegawa Ryosuke did not believe it and contacted Tokyo many times to ask for the suspension of transactions.
Unfortunately, his arms couldn't resist his thighs. In the face of a critical shortage of medicines on the front line, Haga's opinions were ignored. Tokyo ordered him to deliver the strains and information immediately.
Haguchi "helplessly" executed the order and successfully reached a deal with Muhy, and then boarded the ship returning to Shanghai with the trading items.
In a building near Melbourne Pier, Guqi looked at the backs of Xing Hanliang and Tongsuo, turned around and said to Zuo Chong: "Second Captain, Nobita is gone. Do you really want him to hand over penicillin to the Japanese? The superiors know if they will pursue this matter?"
Gucci thought the penicillin sold to Germans was a fake, but the wound that Saburo Ikeguchi would not cheat. The medicine does have anti-inflammatory effects, which made him unable to understand.
Zuo Chong, who was lying on the chair, yawned without explanation, got up and walked out. Wu Chunyang, Gui Youguang and Song Minghao next to him quickly followed.
The group returned to the pharmaceutical factory and entered the underground research center. Fleming, who was in charge of penicillin research, saw Zuo Chong and immediately put down the work at hand and asked, "Zuo, how is the performance of the new drug?"
Fleming was in a complicated mood when he was asked. As a scientist, he hoped that the new drug would be effective, but at the same time he hoped that the new drug would be useless because countless people would die because of it.
Zuo Chong clapped and said with satisfaction: "It's great, Alexander, the patulin you found is magical, and the Japanese and Germans have no doubts at all."
Everyone present was stunned. Isn't it penicillin? What is patulin? Before they could speak, Zuo Chong asked Fleming to introduce the new medicine to his subordinates.
"Okay, gentlemen, please come with me." Fleming walked to a blackboard, wrote the English word "patulin" on it in chalk, and then said solemnly.
"More than a year ago, laboratory researchers discovered a new strain in a rotten apple, which I named patulin, or panicillin 1.
Penicillin is a hydrolysate of penicillin. They have similar chemical structures. Excessive temperatures or wrong pH values may cause penicillin to degrade penicillin into penicillin.
Experiments have proved that penicillin has both the characteristics of broad-spectrum antibiotics and is also highly toxic, which is very harmful to the human body.
It not only destroys immune function, but also a neurotoxin, causing nerve paralysis, pulmonary edema, and renal failure in those taking the medicine.
What’s more serious is that Panpenicillin is teratogenic. We asked ten teen mice to take medicine in total, and the offspring of eight mice had deformities.”
Fleming took out a few photos with a serious expression and handed them to the Jun Tongmen. Looking at the mouse with six ears and only one eye on the photo, Guqi felt nauseous and frowned unconsciously.
It’s not his timidity, it’s a biological instinct and human fear of the unknown.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Fleming continued: "For safety reasons, I sealed the information of patulin and stopped researching it, but a month ago, Mr. Zuo asked me to weaken its toxicity and enhance its anti-inflammatory ability.
The researchers experimented many times and finally screened out the appropriate strains. At the same time, they formulated a production process. If they were exposed to patulin for a long time, the medication would be ill without realizing it and affect their offspring in secret."
So that's how it is. Guqi and others put down the photos and were speechless for a long time. The Germans and Japanese thought they were taking away a life-saving medicine, but they didn't expect it to be the deadly King of Hell.
When the thought of the countless deformed people appearing in Japan and Germany many years later, the spies swallowed and looked at Zuo Chong with a little fear.
Zuo Chong's face remained unchanged. It wasn't the medicine he forced Mu Hyuk to buy. If he wanted to blame the senior Japanese and German officials, it wouldn't have happened at all if they hadn't targeted the Zuo family's pharmaceutical factory.
Above the ocean.
"Kun Ikeguchi, are you sure you're fine?" Hasea Ryosuke asked Saburo Ikeguchi again, if the other party died on the boat, he would have great trouble.
Saburo Inguchi's facial muscles twitched and replied with great certainty: "Of course, there is no time to feel more comfortable than now. Hase-kun, please rest assured."
