Chapter 129 Achieving Mass Production
"Stationmaster, I have something else to remind you." Jiang Shiyuan's expression became unusually serious before leaving.
"Oh? What's the matter?" Stationmaster Wang asked seriously when he saw her serious expression.
"When you call Boss Dai tomorrow, be sure to remind him that the Military Control Commission and the military should pay close attention to the movements of the Japanese army in North China during this period."
"North China?" Stationmaster Wang frowned slightly, "You mean..."
"I have a strong feeling that Japan is likely to launch a full-scale war of aggression against China in the near future!"
Jiang Shiyuan spoke in a firm and decisive tone.
"Although I went to Jinling to report this matter to Boss Dai in person in March, I still want you to remind him again!"
"All-out war of aggression against China?!" Stationmaster Wang was shocked. This was no small matter!
"Xiao Jiang, why do you have this premonition?" he asked in a low voice, with a hint of disbelief in his tone.
Jiang Shiyuan looked solemn as he slowly explained the whole story, "When I was receiving secret training in Xijing, I once dealt with the Gaoqiao family, and I know a little about the Japanese people's evil ambitions."
"Moreover..." She paused, a hint of sharpness flashing in her beautiful eyes, "I have a hunch that they will most likely use military exercises as a pretext to start a war with North City in July!"
"Then, they will invade Beicheng, Jincheng and other important cities in North China at lightning speed, laying the foundation for the subsequent full-scale invasion of China!"
After listening to Jiang Shiyuan's analysis, Stationmaster Wang couldn't help but take a breath.
He knew Jiang Shiyuan's wisdom and ability very well, and he also knew that she would not do anything without a purpose.
"If they really control North China, they will do the same thing next, march into South China, launch an invasion of Shanghai, or even Nanjing!" Jiang Shiyuan added, his tone full of worry.
"Xiao Jiang, I will keep what you said in mind and report it to the acting boss tomorrow!" Stationmaster Wang promised solemnly.
"This is a matter of great importance. Please ask the stationmaster to remind the acting boss to report to his superiors and let the military stationed in various strategic locations make preparations early. We must not take it lightly!" Jiang Shiyuan reminded again.
"Okay, I understand!" Stationmaster Wang nodded solemnly.
After Jiang Shiyuan left the Military Control Commission's safe house, Station Chief Wang immediately recorded the interrogation results and Jiang Shiyuan's reminders in detail.
He knew that he had to convey this important information to the acting boss as quickly as possible!
When Jiang Shiyuan returned to the Wanguo Apartment, it was already late at night.
She lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Today is June 6th, and there are less than 20 days left until the July 20 Incident in history!
"Is it true that the course of history cannot be changed?" she murmured to herself, with mixed feelings.
As a time traveler and a prophet, she always feels that she is carrying a heavy historical mission.
She hopes that with her foresight, she can change the course of history and prevent the country and the people from suffering from the ravages of war.
But she is just an ordinary person after all. Can she really fight against the rolling wheel of history on her own?
“If I could really change history in the world of the Lantern Bearer, would it trigger a butterfly effect that I, or even more people, would find unbearable?”
Jiang Shiyuan didn't dare to think about it any further, for she was afraid that she would fall into endless confusion and fear.
"Do your best and leave the rest to fate." She sighed and tried to calm herself down.
At present, she can only do her best to prepare everyone in advance for disasters caused by major historical events.
Leave the rest to time and fate.
For the following period of time, the underground party and the Military Control Commission had no tasks to perform.
Therefore, Jiang Shiyuan devoted himself to the research and development of mass production technology of penicillin.
The peaceful days in Shanghai are numbered, so she must cherish them and make the most of them.
After all, after the July 7 Incident, the Anti-Japanese War will break out in full swing, and the soldiers on the anti-Japanese fronts in various places will be in great need of penicillin!
She wanted to develop as many of these "miracle drugs" as possible that could save countless lives before the war catastrophe that engulfed the entire China!
The next morning, Jiang Shiyuan went to work at Sacred Heart Hospital as usual.
But this time she went there specifically to ask for leave from Professor Williams.
She wanted to devote all her time and energy to finding a way to mass-produce penicillin. Professor Williams also felt that this would benefit all mankind, so he readily agreed.
He also specifically assured Jiang Shiyuan that Sacred Heart Hospital would still conduct the first batch of clinical trials for penicillin, so she could move forward with confidence.
In order to speed up the research and development process, Jiang Shiyuan decided to select two young researchers from Jiayuan Pharmaceutical who have strong technical skills and trustworthy character to work with her.
Jiang Shiyuan said seriously, "Xiao Xu, Xiao Zhou, from today on, you will move into the laboratory!"
"Ah? The laboratory conditions are so harsh, I can't eat or sleep well..." Xiao Xu looked embarrassed.
"Yes, Dr. Jiang, we..." Xiao Zhou also echoed.
"Stop talking nonsense! This is an order!" Jiang Shiyuan interrupted them sternly, "From now on, our laboratory will enter a wartime state!"
"You also know the importance of penicillin to the soldiers on the front line against the Japanese and the common people. We must race against time to achieve mass production as soon as possible!"
"Yes!" Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhou were infected by Jiang Shiyuan's determination and enthusiasm, and they answered in unison.
Jiang Shiyuan returned to his independent research and development room and carefully took out a wooden box from the safe.
In the box, there is the penicillin formula left by her mother and the research materials sent by Professor Robert Anderson.
"Mother, let your daughter fulfill your unfulfilled wish!" Jiang Shiyuan stroked the yellowed paper, her eyes slightly red.
She took a deep breath, calmed her excitement, took the research materials on Penicillium, and walked into the large R&D room.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
In the laboratory, the lights that stay on all night are a testament to the hard work of Jiang Shiyuan and her team day and night.
They worked day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, conducting experiments again and again.
Failure, failure, and failure!
Failures again and again did not make Jiang Shiyuan give up, but instead stimulated her fighting spirit even more.
"If you don't succeed, you will become benevolent!"
She just didn't believe that even with her strongest brain, she couldn't conquer this tiny Penicillium!
She carefully studied the formula left by her mother, combined it with the research data of Professor Robert Anderson, and supplemented it with her own modern knowledge of penicillin, and led two researchers to deduce it over and over again to find a breakthrough.
Hard work pays off. After continuous attempts and improvements in the selection and breeding of excellent strains, optimization of culture medium formula, improvement of fermentation process, and optimization of extraction and refining process, they finally found a method suitable for the current era and capable of mass production of penicillin!
"Success! We succeeded!" Deafening cheers broke out in the laboratory.
She knew that this was not only a victory for her and her team, but also the hope of the entire Chinese nation!
With the method to mass-produce penicillin, the lives of countless anti-Japanese soldiers will be saved in time, and the Chinese nation's anti-Japanese war road will have fewer bumps and thorns!
"Xiao Xu, Xiao Zhou, make arrangements immediately and prepare to connect with Sacred Heart Hospital for the first clinical trial!"
"And have the production workshop start preparing a large amount of raw materials, ready for large-scale production at any time!"
Jiang Shiyuan's tone was excited, and he could not hide the joy and excitement in his heart.
"Yes!" Xiao Xu and Xiao Zhou immediately took the order and left.
July 1937 was destined to be an extraordinary month.
This month, Jiang Shiyuan led her team and successfully achieved mass production of penicillin, a full 6 years ahead of the United States!
This feat not only provided strong support for the Chinese nation's war of resistance, but also made an indelible contribution to the medical progress of all mankind!
