Chapter 251 Master and Disciple
Everything is here.
Li Ang looked around at the raw materials and equipment in the room, took a deep breath, raised his palms and released his telekinesis.
Antimony potassium tartrate, also known as tartar, is a powerful emetic and antiparasitic drug.
It can disrupt the lining of the schistosomiasis body, causing it to lose its body muscle adsorption function, fall off from the blood vessel wall, and be carried to the liver by the blood flow, where it will be eliminated by the human immune system.
In addition, antimony potassium tartrate can also affect the energy supply of the worm, affect the reproductive system of the worm, and has a powerful killing effect on schistosomiasis, filarial worms, etc.
"First, it's antimony..."
Antimony was called Lianxi in the Yu State. It was doped in copper and used to mint currency.
This batch of antimony shipped from Tanzhou is of high purity.
After calcination, antimony white, which is antimony trioxide, can be obtained.
"Then, there's tartar..."
The tartar precipitated in wine contains about 50% to 85% potassium hydrogen tartrate. After hydrochloric acid decomposition and recrystallization, higher purity potassium hydrogen tartrate is obtained.
"A mix of the two..."
Put potassium hydrogen tartrate and antimony trioxide in a weight ratio of two to one into a round-bottomed flask, add distilled water, and install an air condenser tube.
Use talismans and telekinesis to simulate a constant temperature magnetic stirrer, water bath heating, and the temperature is controlled close to boiling.
After the antimony trioxide is basically dissolved, filter it while hot.
The obtained filtrate is evaporated and concentrated, cooled to crystallize, and left to stand.
Subsequently, it is washed with a small amount of high-concentration ethanol and dried at a temperature of 80 degrees.
Finally, white crystals are obtained.
"..."
Li Ang looked at the extremely pure antimony potassium tartrate, but there was not much joy in his eyes.
He silently picked up the medicine, diluted it with 5% glucose injection, walked out of the secret room, went to the shed outside the hospital, and injected a small amount of potassium antimony tartrate into a sick cow infected with schistosomiasis.
Then take out the thread and insert it into the body of the sick cow to monitor the physical condition of the sick cow.
He told Qiu Feng and others that he wanted to develop medicines and not to disturb him if there was nothing particularly important. Therefore, the courtyard was extremely quiet except for the hard breathing of the cattle.
I don’t know how long it took, but Niansi finally got feedback.
In the body of the sick cow, one after another the schistosomiasis twitched and shrank, fell off from the inner wall of the blood vessels, and were rushed to the liver by the blood, where they were surrounded by inflammatory tissue and killed.
Schistosomiasis, which countless pharmacists and pharmacists have been unable to cure with prescriptions, has no ability to resist when faced with the special potassium antimony potassium tartrate, and is killed one by one like fallen leaves swept away by the autumn wind.
Li Ang still didn't have much joy on his face.
He stood up and walked across the courtyard, opened the door, and looked up at the cloudy sky.
Successful,
However, the price is too high.

Taihu Lake was called Zhenze in ancient times, also known as Lize.
It was early spring, the lake was rippling with blue waves, and the willow trees on the shore were sprouting buds and swaying in the wind.
The spring breeze is warm, the grass is green, and the air is filled with the fragrant scent of vegetation.
"Everyone must wear socks and gloves before entering the water! Did you hear that?"
"Be careful, schistosomiasis is everywhere and can even be found in the dew on grass blades. You can't take off your gloves even if you feel hot!"
"Ditches, every old ditch must be covered, and new ditches must be dug! Don't think that digging other people's ditches has nothing to do with you. After spring plowing begins, the ditch water system will be connected. If the snails in one place are not completely wiped out, a large area of cultivated land around it will be destroyed.
Disaster will happen!"
On the banks of the river, countless people were mobilized, wielding shovels and hoes, and struggling to dig ditches.
If snails and schistosomiasis cannot be killed on a large scale before spring plowing, all states, counties, towns and villages along Taihu Lake will suffer from a new round of water-borne diseases.
Gululu——
A carriage passed by on the road near the lake,
In the carriage, an old man named Situ Zhi looked out the window through the curtains and chuckled.
"Haha. This momentum is really a battle between heaven and earth. Man will definitely win against heaven..."
His eyes swept across the sweaty people on the shore, and a strange smile appeared on his face, "Yushi, do you know why I want to spread the disease in the Yu Kingdom?"
"Huh?"
The white-haired young man sitting across from the carriage thought that this was another test from the teacher. He considered his words and answered slowly: "To defeat the Yu State?"
"No, defeating Yu State is Zhaoming's goal, not ours."
Situ Zhi said: "Think again."
"For..."
The young man named Yushi followed the teacher's gaze and looked out the window at the people of Yu State, and hesitantly replied: "Observe the reaction of people under the epidemic?"
"Very close."
Situ Zhi smiled and said: "We spread the disease not to kill as many people as possible, but to observe the power of people.
You are an abandoned baby of Western origin that I picked up,
In our hometown, the far west, there once was a great empire named Romulus.
The territory and number of people of Romulus were no less than that of the Yu Kingdom. Romulus's scholars, like the Academy, respected the way of reason.
Five hundred years ago, an unprecedented plague broke out in Romulus.
The sick patients suffered from severe diarrhea, vomiting, sore throat, fever, thirst, ulcers on hands and feet, pus on the skin, and rashes on the body peeling off like fish scales.
From the royal family to the slaves and civilians, nearly ten million people died in the plague. The entire empire suffered a huge blow, the order was in shaky state, and the fire of civilization was almost extinguished."
Situ Zhi said leisurely: "However, just when everyone thought that the Romulus Empire would collapse and perish, the disease subsided.
The living people who stand up from the pile of corpses will no longer be infected with the disease, and the population will rebound accordingly.
They cleaned up the corners of the city and built better public buildings. Farming and construction in the empire were more developed than in the past. Roads ran through everywhere, and every city was open to business.
People reclaimed wasteland, built manors, cut down thorny forests, and replaced them with farmland.
The empire's civilization is also more prosperous than in the past.
The death of the slave owner freed a large number of slaves.
The debts of the past were wiped out, and business developed again and prospered.
The college has lowered the threshold and admitted more students.
The nobles were afraid of the power in the dark and did not dare to act recklessly. The upper class of society was corrupted and the arrogant and licentious atmosphere was suppressed.
Even the seemingly endless war had to be suspended due to lack of manpower.
A horrific plague brought rebirth to the empire."
Situ Zhi sighed: "In the East, everything is the same.
The newly born kingdom was able to re-establish order and quickly gain strong national power because it cleared away the long-standing abuses of the past.
For example, in the Han Empire, it only took a few decades from the time when Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was besieged by the Xiongnu on Baishan Mountain to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty attacking the Xiongnu and forcing them to move to Mobei.
After the Western Han Dynasty fell and Emperor Guangwu once again unified the world, the empire's population increased again and its national power recovered rapidly.
Until the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the empire was unable to suppress the Yellow Turban Uprising due to decay, so it decided to drink poison to quench its thirst and ordered each county to recruit its own troops, which ultimately led to the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty."
He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The destruction of a great empire is often not due to the invasion of foreign enemies.
But before that, the empire itself fell into a long-term rigidity.
The nobles are at the top, the wealthy families are annexing the land wantonly, the rich have endless fields, and the poor have no place to stand.
Scholars who are aspiring to change the status quo are forced to get involved in official circles and lose their motivation to move forward in the intrigues.
The interests of all parties wrap around every corner of the empire like a cobweb. Everyone knows that the status quo is wrong, but no one has the ability to change it.
The only lesson that humans can learn from history is that humans never learn from history.
Unlike some people in Zhaomingli, I don’t hate Yu State.
On the contrary, I have a good impression of this huge empire that is somewhat similar to Romulus. If it were not for my status, I would actually like to go to the academy in person and sit down and talk with the doctors there.
And I didn’t spread this plague to destroy them,
More like...a kind reminder, a wake-up call."
