Finally, there is the gunpowder group.

"Your Highness, we have re-refined the gunpowder according to Your Highness's method. After soaking in water, we used a fine sieve to form granules, and then dried the granular gunpowder. It is indeed much more powerful than the original one. In addition, according to what Your Highness said

Yes, adding various metal particles to gunpowder can indeed make fireworks explode in different colors. However, according to Mr. Xu’s order, we only dare to test indoors during the day. If we can get it to be tested in the wild at night

, I think the effect will be excellent.”

"Two masters, your next work is divided into two parts. First, fix the loading of gunpowder. In the Ming Dynasty's army, at least 50% or less of the firearms are installed. But loading the matchlock gun is too troublesome.

And the amount of gunpowder contained depends entirely on the shooter’s personal experience. What I mean is to introduce a fixed-load gunpowder, wrapped in a paper shell, and when needed, the gunner can just bite open the paper shell.”

"Your Highness, this is not difficult. It is very simple for us to granulate the gunpowder and assemble it evenly. Your Highness, the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, hey, this..."

"Haha, the two masters want to say that after the power of gunpowder is increased, if the quality of the barrel is not improved, it will easily explode?"

"Your Highness Yingming. I used to work in the Ministry of Industry. The master who made the gun barrel, uh, I have to be disrespectful, in the environment of the Ministry of Industry, the master who made the gun barrel really couldn't do it.

Better.”

"Well, I understand. Thank you for reminding me. I plan to have our own blacksmith make a few reliable gun barrels in Zhuangzi to test the new granular gunpowder."

"Oh? Then this is no problem. The young ones can trust Master Huo's craftsmanship."

"Very good, then, masters, your next job is to make fireworks."

"Fireworks? Your Highness, fireworks are not difficult. It's just that Your Highness proposed it so carefully, but is there any special need?"

"Hahahaha, smart! Grandpa Huang's birthday is on the fourth day of September every year. Do you all understand what to do?"

"Young men, I understand. I just want to ask His Highness to speak. When a certain time comes, I will ask the guards in the village to escort me to a deserted wilderness for testing."

"Of course. I'll let Old Wei make arrangements later."

After the master of the gunpowder team retired, Xu Guangqi also stood up: "Your Highness, after all, I am still a commoner, and sometimes I still need to work in the Hanlin Academy. Sometimes things in Zhuangzi are really beyond my ability. And I understand your Highness's ambitions.

, at least when it comes to gunpowder, you can never be satisfied just by lighting up fireworks to make the emperor happy. Therefore, I would like to recommend someone to His Highness."

"Well, I have also thought of the person Mr. Xu mentioned. Let's get in touch with Mr. Xu first, and I will visit him in person tomorrow night."

"Your Highness, courtesy to the virtuous corporal, is a blessing to the Ming Dynasty."

"Haha, you should keep talented people for the country. Mr. Xu, it seems that this glass production is about to have results. I already asked Mr. Leach three months ago and asked him to write to Macau to find some people for me.

A craftsman who knows how to grind lenses will come over. It’s been such a long time, and I don’t know how things are going. I would like Mr. Xu to pay more attention to this matter for me.”

"Yes, I know. In this case, I will retire."

Nowadays, various rules have slowly come into being in Honghe Village. The biggest one is: everyone does his or her own thing, and no one is allowed to interfere with things other than their own work without Zhu Youdong's words.

Even Xu Guangqi, the director of science and technology, had to step down at this time. Because although the next person who came in was also reporting on science and technology matters, it was better for him, a man of science and engineering, to leave medical technology alone.

"Student Wu Youxing, meet the teacher!"

"Oh, Wu... Doctor Wu, how many times have I told you not to call me teacher. I'm less than six years old, where can I be your teacher?"

"I don't dare. Those who are wise come first, and age does not matter. The teacher is knowledgeable about heaven and man, and the students are willing to follow the teacher throughout their lives and explore the true principles of medicine!"

Although I was somewhat of a minor player in this profession before I traveled through time, even among those big players, who would dare to say that they have grasped the supreme principles of medicine? But that’s all, I can’t teach you Chinese medicine.

Yes. But if I want to teach you some modern medicine, I will definitely be your teacher. Forget it, call me whatever you want. Anyway, I am not yet six years old, so calling me will not make me older.

"Uh, there's sex. Have you read all about anatomy?"

"Yes, the students have read them all. Countless rabbits, domestic pigs, cattle and sheep have been dissected. It's just this man's body. Although the teacher also asked Mr. Li to send some to the grassroots, the people are dead. This blood

The cycle naturally stopped. So, it’s a little bit regretful..."

What are you doing? Do you still want to dissect a living person? Even I can't accept this.

Speaking of which, there were many famous doctors in the Ming Dynasty for two to three hundred years. Specifically speaking of this era, if it were not for the foresight of the time travellers, Wu Youxing would have had to endure for decades to become famous. At this time, he really

The famous doctor is Zhang Jiebin. His greatest contribution is to systematically sort out the contradictory or overly complicated things in various medical books for more than two thousand years since the "Huangdi Neijing", making the entire medical system more comprehensive.

Clear and simple to learn... However, this master of traditional Chinese medicine specializes in treating the rich and powerful. His pioneering and exploratory spirit is far behind Wu Youxing. So at that time, he was considering who should get the smallpox vaccine.

At that time, Zhu Youdong chose Wu Youxing.

However, Wu Youxing's enthusiasm for pursuing technology was too high. He just refused Emperor Wanli's order to recruit him as an imperial physician, and moved directly into Honghe Village, saying that he would continue to study medicine with Zhu Youdong.

"Sex, I only have one request. If the drug testing on animals is safe, living people can be used for drug testing, but living people are never allowed to be used for anatomy tests! Can you do it?"

"Yes, teacher, don't worry, students still have some conscience."

"Well, um, how are you doing with the refining of sulfa?"

"A batch of finished products have been made. The students first conducted experiments on mice and piglets according to the teacher's instructions. After seeing the effect, they also found some patients with colds to take it. The effect is excellent!"

The so-called sulfonamides are drugs that kill streptococci and inhibit many other bacteria. They were the most effective antibacterial drugs before the advent of penicillin. Their source comes from a red dye.

As a doctor, Zhu Youdong is very familiar with this period of history, and when he was studying medicine, he made complete sulfonamide drugs with his classmates from the same school of pharmacy.

Benzoic acid is extracted from urine, and then benzene is extracted. Then benzene reacts with acetic acid to form acetanilide. Once acetanilide is available, sulfonamide is not far away.

(The whole process is actually very troublesome and contains a lot of harmful substances, so I won’t go into detail here)

"Well, please be careful that raising animals is also very dangerous. I will send you ten smart children to be your students and assistants in a period of time. You can raise them in your own laboratory."

"Yes, speaking of which, the students would also like to thank the teachers for their love. Recently, all the newly produced glass in Zhuangzi has been installed in the students' laboratories. The lighting is really much better. If the impurities can be cleaned out early, the glass can be used

It would be better if it doesn’t come with its own color.”

"This matter is almost settled. On your side, another topic I assigned you, how are you going with the intravenous infusion?"

"Master Huo from the iron group has made a batch of needles specially used for infusion for students. The masters from the leather and cloth group have also cleaned the sheep intestines, but there are too many impurities in the glass bottles, and there are wooden

The tightness of the plug..."
