This world belongs to the world of immortal cultivators, where immortal arts and supernatural powers are prevalent.
During the reform and opening up of the ancient world of immortality, in order to promote the prosperity of the human race, some simple magical powers were introduced into the human world in the form of skills.
This also created the technological level of the human race, which was actually blocked by the immortal cultivators.
But now, Xu Mochen has made a new discovery.
The human race in this world is not bad at learning and pioneering abilities.
The reason is that some of them have access to immortality, such as the Li family's disciples. Although they do not practice immortality, they are very proficient in the basic refining of some elixirs.
In addition, there are very few immortal cultivators who are willing to help the human race, which allows many future technologies to be solved without hardware conditions.
For example, the penicillin cultivation method devised by Zhao Lingbo and the others.
According to Xu Mochen's understanding, in his 21st century, to achieve such a result requires the support of a large number of complex industrial processes.
However, the human race in this world can use "immortal magic" to make up for it.
Just like Xu Mochen, he can directly purify and extract penicillin by using the power of Daoyuan.
Then, they can also open the door to the world of chemistry through continuous attempts to understand.
Well, do you want to tell them the periodic table of elements?
Xu Mochen was silent. He had somewhat forgotten the periodic table of elements. Hydrogen, helium and lithium...
Everyone looked at the emperor deep in thought, and everyone was at a loss.
Zhao Lingbo reminded: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! We have made a new discovery, but we just don't know what it is."
Xu Mochen came back to his senses and took his time, step by step: "What else did everyone discover."
The monk hugged him into another room, where there were again large and small jars.
"Several masters also isolated a kind of bacteria from the soil," Zhao Lingbo brought a microscope. "After cultivating, purifying and extracting it, using a method similar to penicillin, some finished products were also obtained.
It’s just that I’m ignorant and don’t know what this can do.”
Xu Mochen didn't pick up the microscope. His consciousness had already been unfolded. When he walked around the room, everything was clear.
Inside this jar, there are sugar, soybean cake powder, corn syrup, soybean oil, salts, etc., which are fermenting.
The cultivated fungi are automatically distinguished by spiritual consciousness.
Streptomyces! It is also a very important antibiotic.
"Your Majesty," the monk's white beard curled up, "The princess said that fungi may be useful. The poor monk and others discovered it accidentally, and then it became like this. Please give me some advice."
Xu Mochen is full of complex thoughts, you are not stupid, on the contrary, you are very good.
You know, even in Xu Mochen's own time, it took a lot of trouble to discover and put things like Streptomyces into practical use.
This is a life-saving thing.
"It's very good," Xu Mochen couldn't help but praise, "I am impressed by the wisdom of the princess and the masters.
This is another thing called Streptomyces, which can treat many diseases, such as tuberculosis."
"Tuberculosis!" Zhang Tongyuan, who was following behind him, couldn't help exclaiming, "Your Majesty, you can really cure tuberculosis."
"Not only that," Xu Mochen affirmed, "These all belong to the field of microorganisms. Many people's illnesses are caused by viruses and bacteria.
And these fungi that you have discovered are the enemies of some bacteria. You can destroy them and make the patient recover."
Zhang Tongyuan's eyes widened: "This is a disease that cannot be solved by current medical technology."
He couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. The medical skills he had learned all his life were not as good as these bacteria.
Xu Mochen knew what he was thinking and comforted with a smile: "Various things have different effects and there is no comparison.
These drugs are useful, but they should not be overused. It is best if you can avoid taking them.
Zhang Yuanping's medical skills are to regulate functions and stimulate the body's own immunity. The entry points are different and breakthroughs will be made in the future."
Zhang Tongyuan felt relieved and nodded in agreement.
Xu Mochen didn't expect that everyone's progress would be much faster than he expected.
Gather the main personnel and listen to individual reports.
The overall situation is good, but there are many problems.
After all, this is ancient times, and some crafts and technologies cannot be realized by humans.
"Your Majesty," Fang Minghang and Fang Mingying's brother and sister have the biggest problem here, "For example, the injection needle you mentioned was originally left behind by Master Linglong Pavilion Master.
Now that the master has passed away, I looked up the master's notes and found that this thing was made with the help of immortal cultivators back then. It was mainly used in concealed weapons. The holes inside were for injecting venom into the opponent's body after a hit.
Now we don’t have much left. My sister and I have been trying to make it, but...
Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
They, brother and sister, can assemble complex and precise weapons, but their ability to produce raw materials is not enough.
Xu Mochen waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, what are you guilty of?"
This injection needle may look inconspicuous, but Xu Mochen actually knows that it is a very modern piece of technology.
The ancients did not have mechanical machine tools, so it was difficult to manufacture by hand.
Speaking of immortal cultivators, here are Li Bitong and Li Yihang. The two looked at each other, and Li Bitong stepped forward: "Sir, I can use magic and magical powers to make this needle.
It's just that this material is neither copper nor iron..."
"It's steel." Xu Mochen had seen the manufacturing process of needle tubes. "It's much harder than iron, but similar to the low-level weapons refined by immortal cultivators.
I know you can easily make it, but..."
His original intention was to let the human race master relevant technologies themselves and no longer be controlled by immortal cultivators.
What Li Bitong said is a solution, but it cannot eradicate the problem.
If you need it urgently now, you can ask her to take action, but for long-term considerations, you still have to plan ahead.
"Your Majesty," Fang Mingying added, "I was browsing the books left behind by my master, and I remembered that there was a record of a gold foil making process in Yuhuatai, Ningzhou in the south. It is said that it can make gold as thin as paper.
I wonder if this can be used to try making needle tubes."
"I also remember," Fang Minghang remembered, "the private sector also has excellent iron smelting and forging technology. Can it be improved to produce this kind of steel?"
Xu Mochen's eyes lit up: "These two technologies can be put to use.
Yihang, you are fast on your feet. You will leave Beijing secretly tomorrow to find these people.
Also, are there any mineral resources in Qizhou?"
The skills of the human race are not worth mentioning in the eyes of immortal cultivators.
But it made Xu Mochen see the light.
As the saying goes, masters are among the people.
"Yes," Li Bitong replied, "there are several kinds of mines. I will sort them out and give them to you.
But as far as I know, the output is not large."
Most of the valuable land is now in the hands of immortal cultivators.
They also need mineral assistance to refine magic weapons, immortal weapons, elixirs, etc.
The fight for resources is about to begin.
"Okay," Xu Mochen clasped his hands, "It concerns the fate of the human race, so please do your best."
