Here at the headquarters of the Sishuiguan Field Hospital in Yushan, outside a house with a total of three rooms, thirteen mice are neatly arranged.
These mice seemed to have suffered a lot during their lifetimes.
It seems rather distorted.
The little eyes widened.
Under the influence of the cold temperature, they were already frozen to a solid state.
Liu Cheng pushed open the room and walked in, and immediately felt the warm breath hitting his face.
It was a huge contrast to the cold outside.
Hua Tuo, dressed in white, and Hua Tuo's two apprentices were busy in this room.
When Liu Cheng walked in, he took off his cloak and hung it aside.
But even so, I soon started to sweat. I had no choice but to take off another thick layer of clothing and only wore an undershirt before I felt comfortable.
This house has been turned into a laboratory, specially built for the purpose of studying streptomycin.
The temperature inside is not low, almost the same as human body temperature.
There were several stoves burning with fires, teapots sitting on them, and steam rising constantly.
Although there is a stove, there is no smoke or smoke in the room.
This is because there is a unique pipe on the side of the stove that sends the smoke outside.
The reason why the room was so warm was not to make Hua Tuo and others who were researching streptomycin comfortable, but to allow streptomyces to grow and reproduce.
In the room, there are some glassware with some things inside.
In addition, in the corner of the room, there are several cages with several mice in them.
They were squeaking there and looked very lively.
Hua Tuo and his three disciples were gathered around the mouse cage, looking at the mice in the cage with joy on their faces.
It will be as if the things in front of you are not mice that everyone is shouting to beat, but some peerless objects.
Particularly rare.
When Liu Cheng came in, he counted the number of rats outside.
He knew that when mice were used to test drugs, groups of ten were always used.
There are thirteen mice outside, which indicates that some welcome changes have occurred.
The mice used to test the medicine no longer die all at once like before.
But there are survivors.
When he came to the house and saw such a scene again, how could Liu Cheng not be happy?
This shows that this matter has made a breakthrough.
"Uncle Emperor? When did you come?"
Liu Cheng stood here for a long time before Hua Tuo and the others noticed Liu Cheng coming to the laboratory.
After being stunned for a moment, he quickly said hello.
Liu Cheng looked at them, smiled and said: "It seems that this streptomycin has made a breakthrough."
When talking about this matter, Hua Tuo and others became energetic.
"Based on the previous experimental results, two slightly different methods were used during manufacturing this time.
One of them, after being developed and fed to mice, nine out of ten mice died, which can be said to be a narrow escape.
In the other case, four out of ten died.
With the glassware made by your uncle, we have made a breakthrough..."
Hua Tuo looked at Liu Cheng and said happily.
For a person who is obsessed with medicine, has devoted a lot of effort to it, and has made great achievements, there is nothing more joyful than this.
When Liu Cheng heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger.
He stretched out his hand to shake hands with Hua Tuo and his apprentice, looked at them and said with a smile: "This is mainly due to Yuan Huagui and his apprentice. Without your dedicated study, even if I had an idea, I would not be able to realize it.
I have too many things on my hands and it’s too complex to be immersed in this..."
Hua Tuo laughed when he heard this and said: "What the emperor does is a big deal. Only when the world is stable, what we are doing now will be meaningful...
Uncle Emperor, if you have any innovative ideas in medicine in the future, just mention them.
You don’t have time to do research, so we will do research and be responsible for turning your ideas into reality!”
Through this development of streptomycin, Hua Tuo tasted the benefits and gained new ideas.
Hearing this, Liu Cheng nodded and said with a smile: "Yuan Hua's words are exactly what I want."
After standing here talking to Hua Tuo and the others for a while, and understanding the progress of the research, Liu Cheng left the laboratory and did not stay here any longer.
After Liu Cheng left, Hua Tuo's master and his disciples also devoted themselves to intense research.
Now that things are starting to take shape, they want to seize the time and produce a relatively mature and complete streptomycin as quickly as possible.
On the one hand, as doctors, they have a natural interest in this kind of drug that can treat terminal diseases. When this unprecedented drug appears in their hands, they feel a strong sense of accomplishment.
On the other hand, it has been more than three months since Hua Tuo first met Huang Xu and prescribed Huang Xu relief drugs.
In less than three months, the effect of the drug will gradually fade.
As time passes, his condition will worsen step by step...
Whether it was from the benevolence of the doctor, the friendship between Hua Tuo and Huang Zhong, or the perseverance of Huang Xu himself, Hua Tuo felt that he could get the streptomycin out as soon as possible, so he would give it to him as soon as possible.
Get it out...
Liu Cheng left the research room, but did not leave immediately. Instead, he stood here and watched.
The location here is about two miles away from where Liu Cheng lived before.
It's a big courtyard.
It is said to be a courtyard, but it is not completely built now, and there are not many houses inside.
This is the headquarters of the Sishuiguan Field Hospital that Liu Cheng started designing and building before.
Although his people, as well as the military doctors he trained before, had already left Sishui Pass.
Moreover, most of the military doctors were dispersed into various teams, but Liu Cheng did not intend to abolish the Sishuiguan Field Hospital.
On the contrary, it must be carried forward.
Liu Cheng has a clear understanding of how important the role of the hospital is.
The Sishuiguan field hospital is a long-term thing. It does not mean that it can be used temporarily and then discarded. This is not in line with sustainable development.
The cultivation of doctors, especially those with advanced medical skills or who are specialized in certain aspects, cannot be completed overnight.
Secondly, there are those military doctors trained by Liu Cheng.
This is a force that cannot be ignored.
Liu Cheng's ability to have such a great reputation among Dong Zhuo's many troops is closely related to his own outstanding military exploits and his daily style.
However, those military doctors from various ministries who had studied at Sishui Pass returned to their respective teams, and the spontaneous propaganda they carried out also played a big role.
It cannot be ignored.
The Sishuiguan Field Hospital cannot be abolished and needs to be carried forward.
In this case, these military doctors who left the Sishuiguan Field Hospital will have a spiritual destination and a practical link with Director Liu Cheng.
How could Liu Cheng, who knew the principal's huge role, let him go?
As early as the implementation of the work-replacing system, Liu Chenggong arranged manpower to start building the Sishuiguan Night War Hospital headquarters here in Yushan.
However, due to the short time, there were also major projects such as the palace, city walls, and huts, as well as the construction of houses for the wealthy families who were forcibly moved to Chang'an by Dong Zhuo, so there was a slight shortage of manpower.
So up to now, I have only built a rough outline.
If you want to completely complete the construction, you will have to wait until next fall.
However, some houses are now available for use.
In addition to the masters and disciples of Hua Tuo who came with him, more than a dozen key members of the Sishui Pass Field Hospital came here and stayed here more than a month before Liu Cheng and the others arrived.
It can be considered that we have a framework for the time being...
"Who are you? What do you do?!"
An order interrupted Liu Cheng's train of thought.
Liu Chengxun looked around and saw three civilians coming out about three or four hundred steps away from him.
This man was dressed in rags, just like the men living around Yushan.
They were carrying brightly colored pheasants and several hares.
The one standing in the middle had an even more amazing harvest. On his shoulders, he actually carried a dead leopard.
Leopards are plump and have smooth fur, which is very good.
"We are nearby villagers. We are grateful for the kindness of our uncle and have always wanted to repay him, but we suffer from the fact that our family is not rich and we have nothing to offer.
I waited for a few people to gather together, and took advantage of the cold weather and farm slack to go into the mountains to hunt some prey.
I'm pretty lucky, I didn't let it go, and I can use it to replenish my health with the emperor's uncle, which can be regarded as some of my thoughts."
The leader looked at the inquiring guard and said this.
With a hint of simplicity.
Hearing several people say this, the guard of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry showed a smile on his face.
He was no stranger to similar scenes. After all, he followed the emperor's uncle on the way to Yushan and saw many such situations.
He said aloud: "It's rare that you are interested, but please go back with the prey. These days, life is not easy for everyone, and it is not easy for you either.
I finally caught some prey, which can supplement my family's income, so I'd better take it back.
The Emperor’s uncle has accepted it.”
How could the villagers leave just like that?
He opened his mouth and said: "Without your uncle, we wouldn't be here today. We can't get expensive things, but we can still get some prey. If your uncle doesn't accept it, we will feel really sorry..."
What he said was very sincere.
If it were ordinary villagers, at this time, they would have basically put down their prey, rubbed oil on their soles and ran away.
Uncle Liu Huang has to take it even if he doesn’t want it.
But these villagers did not do this. They still said something like thanking Uncle Liu Huang here.
"Huzi, please let some of the folks come over. We cannot refuse the kindness of the folks.
I just happen to be a little greedy and want to eat some game."
After Liu Cheng stood there and watched for a while, he smiled and said to the tiger and leopard mounted guards who stopped the three villagers.
At this time, the tiger and leopard cavalry guards who came with Liu Cheng were only four people and they were still relatively scattered.
Hearing what Liu Cheng said, the tiger who blocked the three villagers got out of the way.
The leader of the villagers, who was carrying a leopard, quietly relaxed his hand that he clenched secretly.
He thanked Huzi and walked towards Liu Cheng with the two villagers carrying pheasants and hares.
Seems more restrained and careful.
These three people were not ordinary villagers. They came to Yushan quietly and lurked for a long time. Finally, they found an opportunity and prepared to take action against Liu Cheng. Cao Ren and his two capable men.
In fact, what Cao Ren wanted to do most was to bring nine of his men over to attack Liu Cheng. In this case, the chance of success would be greater.
But it’s just a thought.
Because in this case, the exposure may be too great.
It is very possible that they were arrested before they even got close to Liu Cheng.
To be on the safe side, Cao Ren finally decided to lead two men to attack Liu Cheng.
To be honest, this was still not the best opportunity to attack Liu Cheng, but Cao Ren did not dare to wait any longer.
Because the more he learned about Liu Cheng, the more he became shaken and wanted to join Liu Cheng and do things with Liu Cheng.
I can't bring up my murderous intention towards Liu Cheng.
This thought made Cao Ren feel frightened and full of fear.
He didn't dare to wait any longer.
He was afraid that if he continued to wait, he would lose the courage to assassinate Liu Cheng, which would go against his original intention.
Carrying the prey, Cao Ren walked towards Liu Cheng step by step.
As he continued to get closer to Liu Cheng, Cao Ren also suppressed some of the feelings in his heart.
He kept thinking in his heart about his brother Ah Man's kindness to him, the friendship between his brothers, and the dignity of the Cao family.
The murderous intention in my heart became stronger and stronger, and my determination became stronger and stronger.
I completely suppressed some of the strange feelings in my heart.
Liu Cheng stood there motionless, with his hands behind his back and a smile on his face, looking at the three people who were coming towards him with prey to deliver the prey to him.
"Does your melon stay ripe?"
Seeing that the three people were less than five steps away from him, Liu Cheng showed a meaningful smile on his face, looked at the three people and spoke.
His main gaze fell on Cao Ren, who was walking in the middle with the leopard on his shoulders.
The murderous intention in his heart kept building up, and he was so excited that he wanted to attack Liu Cheng. He couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.
I didn't understand why Liu Cheng suddenly made such a meaningless statement at this time.
What I am carrying is a leopard, a prey, not a melon!
Even if he asked, he should be asking himself whether the leopard was dead, not whether the melon was still cooked.
This thought flashed through his mind, and Cao Ren gave it up.
"What did you say?"
He responded in such a random manner that he was ready to suddenly attack.
But suddenly, he discovered that Liu Cheng, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the others with a smile on his face, and looking calm and calm, made the first move!
He took a step forward towards himself, his right foot suddenly bounced up, and he kicked himself hard in the chest!
When Cao Ren saw this, the first thought that came to his mind was that it was not good!
The other party seems to already know the whereabouts and purpose of himself and others!
As this thought arose in his mind, he subconsciously threw the leopard he was carrying towards Liu Cheng!
At the same time, he quickly touched his hand under his clothes, and a hunting knife was already in his hand.
He slashed at Liu Cheng's leg.
His idea at this time was very simple, that is, he wanted to cut off Liu Cheng's feet by kicking him.
Cao Ren was very confident in his sword.
Although Liu Thief's reaction at this time was surprising and caught him off guard.
However, when he came this time, he himself planned to kill Liu Cheng.
Although I was a little caught off guard, I was still prepared in the end.
He was just stunned for a moment, and then he slashed out with his sword.
In addition, Cao Ren is also very confident in his own martial arts. He has also practiced martial arts since he was a child and has developed a strong martial arts.
At this time, he stabbed Liu Cheng's traitor's leg with a knife, and his confidence in his heart skyrocketed.
I feel that I will definitely be able to cut off Liu Cheng's leg this time.
As long as he cuts off one of Liu Cheng's legs and gets the upper hand, then it is logical to kill Liu Cheng next.
No matter how powerful Liu Ben is in martial arts, it would be easy for him to kill him after one of his legs was cut off!
Even if Liu Thief's kick fell on him first, he could still resist Liu Cheng's kick and cut off his legs.
He used his body to support Liu Cheng's kick on him, and then slashed with the sword, which was more convenient, faster and easier to use force.
Cao Ren still has some confidence in himself.
However, what happened next made Cao Ren know how wrong his idea was!
"Bang!"
A muffled sound suddenly sounded, and Liu Cheng's kick quickly landed on Cao Ren's chest.
When Liu Cheng's foot was about to land on his chest, Cao Ren, who had an idea in his mind, immediately leaned forward and took the initiative to meet Liu Cheng's kick.
In this way, you can stabilize your body as much as possible and resist Liu Cheng's kick.
He heard that Liu Cheng was very powerful, so he made this choice.
In his own opinion, his response measures were prudent enough.
At the same time, his right hand holding the knife also accelerated the speed of slashing.
However, only when Liu Cheng's foot landed on his chest could he feel just how powerful Liu Cheng was!
"Crack!"
At the same time as the muffled sound of 'bang' was heard, the sound of bones breaking was clearly transmitted.
It's heartbreaking to hear.
At this moment, Cao Ren's fully charged body flew up uncontrollably and retreated backwards.
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Cao Ren was horrified in his heart, and he desperately controlled his right hand that wielded the sword, hoping to chop off Liu Cheng's leg at this moment.
But under such circumstances, how can it be successful?
This sword, which had lost a lot of its strength, fell into the air.
The moment Cao Ren flew backwards, Liu Cheng retracted his feet and stepped forward.
At this time, the two people on both sides of Cao Ren who were pretending to be villagers with Cao Ren also followed Cao Ren's action and dropped the prey in their hands. They both held hunting knives in their hands and rushed towards Liu Cheng.
Liu Cheng's actions at this time looked like he was actively touching the hunting knives that the two of them had slashed out.
But is that really the case?
Liu Cheng was extremely fast and followed Cao Ren who flew out, rushing forward, almost rushing into the gap left by Cao Ren after he flew out.
As he pounced forward, he also swayed to avoid the two hunting knives that were coming at him.
"puff!"
There was a sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh, and the body of Cao Ren's man on the left suddenly stiffened!
His eyes widened, and he covered his throat with one hand. A large amount of blood flowed out, but even so, there was still a large amount of blood mist spraying out from the gaps between his fingertips, which looked extremely miserable.
Such a scene immediately stunned the other Cao Ren's subordinates.
Their murder of Liu Cheng can be said to be well-prepared.
It took a long time of careful preparation and calculation.
They mainly focused their energy on how to bypass Liu Cheng's guards and attack Liu Cheng when there were very few guards around Liu Cheng.
The current three-on-one situation is the best situation they can think of.
Who would have thought that it would become like this?
The three people's joint attack was broken by Liu Cheng in an instant!
This made him lose the will to fight and wanted to run to the side to escape.
Liu Cheng, who didn't know when he had already grasped the butcher's knife in his hand, cut the throat of one of Cao Ren's guards and ignored him again.
He ignored Cao Ren who was kicked away by him, but held a butcher knife and rushed towards the guard of Cao Ren who retreated in fright.
As long as this person is eliminated, these three people will be destroyed by him alone!
After the man took a step back, he realized that he had no way to retreat at this time. To retreat would be to die, and he stopped immediately.
He roared loudly and rushed towards Liu Cheng, preparing to fight Liu Cheng to the death.
With the hunting knife in his hand, he slashed hard at Liu Cheng.
The hunting knife in his hand is much longer than the pig-killing knife in Liu Cheng's hand, which has a huge advantage.
But the next moment, Liu Chenggong told him with practical actions that he had no advantage at all!
"Bang!"
His hand that was about to be cut down stopped, and his wrist was held by Liu Cheng, as if it was tightly held by an iron pliers, unable to move at all.
He was horrified. He didn't expect Liu Cheng to have such great strength!
One hand can easily block the slashing power of both of his own hands!
He struggled hard, trying to move.
However, Liu Cheng didn't give him a chance at all.
After holding his arm, the other hand holding the butcher's knife drove the butcher's knife into the chest of Cao Ren's guard.
The man screamed and immediately lost his strength.
Liu Cheng pulled out his butcher's knife and ignored the man who fell to the ground. He quickly kicked his feet on the ground a few times, and like a cheetah, he jumped up to Cao Ren, who had just gotten up after falling to the ground with blood spurting out.
Cao Ren's eyes were red, his whole body was extremely uncomfortable, and his breath was like blowing a bellows.
He had already seen the scene when Liu Cheng quickly took action and killed two of his men.
But even so, he never feared or gave up.
Under such circumstances, facing Liu Cheng who rushed forward, he retreated instead of advancing and faced Liu Cheng.
However, what greeted him was still Liu Cheng's feet.
He who was holding a hunting knife was already kicked by Liu Cheng and was in despair.
As soon as I moved, before I could reach Liu Cheng, I experienced the feeling of flying again...
