Battle of the Third Reich

Just as Kirsten’s elite team was heading towards Oxford, Ernst Chan, the second person in the Flori research team, was sitting in the corner of an idle office in the Down College of Pathology at Oxford University. On the bench awaited his destiny. n∈n∈, the biochemistry expert no longer holds any hope for his future, he feels that he must be finished this time.

The chemist just passed his thirty-fourth birthday in June, and was in the golden age of his life. He had thick, fluffy black hair, and a stylish bazi under his straight nose. At first glance, it looks a bit similar to the scientific giant Einstein, so he had a nickname of Einstein early in the morning. In fact, his subject and Einstein are completely separate from each other, and their positions in the scientific community are far from each other. If there is any similarity between the two, then only he and Einstein are Jews born in Germany.

Dr. Chan’s father was a Russian Jew. He met his mother in Berlin while studying chemistry in Germany. They soon fell in love and got married. His father immigrated and stayed in Germany because of his achievements in chemistry and the Jewish consortium. With their support, they set up a chemical factory and live a happy and wealthy life.

It is a pity that after the World War I ended Germany’s defeat, it was the German chemical industry that was the first to be hit. In addition, the world’s Great Depression followed, and the family’s Wan Guan furniture disappeared overnight, and his father became ill. Not depressed and ended. However, due to the influence of family education, the love of chemistry has penetrated into the blood of Chann. He entered Frederick William University to study chemistry and received a doctorate in chemistry when he was 24 years old.

When Hitler came to power, the atmosphere of the entire German society excluding Jews became stronger and stronger, and the highly educated Qian En felt a little nervous about the status quo of the society. He found that if the situation continues to let it go, sooner or later, it will set off a storm against all Jews, and no one can guarantee that he will be spared under that tide.

For personal safety. At the same time, he also wanted to change a good living environment. He left Germany and went to Paris, France to seek a new life. As a result, his knowledge and skills could not be achieved in Paris. In the end, when he was about to sit down and eat in the sky, he came to the UK to find a way out on the advice of a friend. There is the best scientific research environment in Europe. A young scientist like him must be able to find a place to use it.

Reality always likes to tear up the dreams of young people again and again. When Qian En set foot on the British land, there were only ten pounds left and right all over his body. The young chemist stood on the streets of London and had no idea of ​​his future. In which direction.

After all, the chemist still knew the truth about Mao Sui's self-recommendation, and he wrote a self-recommendation letter to all the scientists in Britain he knew. Ask them to help them gain a foothold in the UK. At that time, the relationship between scientists was still very close, especially when encountering talented juniors, the seniors are usually very enthusiastic to help. Eventually, after a large circle of relationships, Chane finally won the attention of Sir Frederick Hopkins, the principal of the William Downe Biochemical School of Cambridge University. The Nobel Prize winner introduced Qiann After a job that completely changed his life, he went to the Flori laboratory of the Down Pathology School at Oxford University as an assistant to the pathologist.

Florians are more of a science politician than a scientist. The Australian-born pathologist has been working hard to climb up and down throughout his life, but politicians are pursuing power and interests. What he pursues is the fame and status of the scientific community, scientific research talents are his tools of use, and scientific achievements are a stepping stone in his eyes.

Of course, this does not deny his ability in scientific research and development. He has a very good social eloquence and keen insight, Flori is also very good at discovering and using talents, and can unite a group of scattered researchers closely, and become a division of labor under his organization. Scientific research institutions have to admire their talents. He is absolutely qualified to occupy the most important position on the development path of penicillin.

In fact, before Qian En came to Flori's laboratory, Flori's experimental research was almost paralyzed. In four years, this scientific research institution spent a lot of research funds, but did not even get a decent result.

This bleak fact makes Flori, who is in charge of the power of Down En Pathology School, feel heavy pressure. Know how much he hopes to make a shocking achievement, so that he will have the opportunity to take the throne of the pathology director of Oxford University. He has been salivating at that position for several years.

Qian En's arrival reopened a window to the laboratory's research predicament, that is, he first proposed to change the laboratory's research direction. And put the subject of manufacturing and purification of penicillin before Flori. This time, Ganchai encountered a fierce fire, and both sides met. Everyone could see how tremendously this work would promote the development of medicine. If they can succeed, they will be respected by doctors and patients around the world.

The purpose of Qian En at the moment is very simple, because biochemical analysis is his best job, he is still confident in his ability, as long as Flori agrees with his proposal, then a long-term meal ticket will be considered. It was firmly in the hands. Flori was overjoyed by this. He really fell asleep when he was dozing off. He was in need of a solid result that could establish his status in the scientific community. If under his guidance, penicillin could be used as a drug This alone is enough for him to step into the ranks of top scientists in the medical world, and the position of Oxford Pathology Director must be easily available.

At this time, they did not know how great the difficulty they faced was. How much sweat and hard work they would have to pay to achieve this research. After more than a year of hard work, hundreds of failures, and finally paying attention, they finally found a way to effectively extract the effective ingredient penicillin from the strain solution. Overjoyed, they are working harder and harder, even if the news of the British military's unfavourable warfare is coming, it will not affect the indulgence and fanaticism of these researchers.

After spending half a year, they finally obtained 100 mg of penicillin crystals. It was a brownish yellow powder that looked like corn flour. Similar to history, they can’t wait to conduct a series of animal experiments, and it turns out that the drug is not toxic. At the same time it does have a therapeutic effect on pyogenic bacteria.

Shortly after the experiment was completed, Flori wrote a research paper headed by him. In addition, he submitted a manuscript to the Lancet Editor, a well-known journal and magazine in the British medical community, in order to gain a reputation for his research results, and to attract the attention of medical colleagues and get their approval.

And here, there is a deviation in history. The paper originally scheduled to be published in mid-August was aborted by a bombing of the German Air Force. A German bomb hit the printing plant that undertook the lancet business. So the Lancet magazine that month could only announce a temporary suspension.

It was just when Flory considered whether to resubmit for a weighty magazine. Suddenly a bad news came that the German Army broke through the Straits Defense Line and has now landed. Let's not talk about this little pathology school, the whole Oxford University is now in a mess.

The bombers of the Luftwaffe had visited Oxford before. They destroyed several estates around the school with incendiary bombs, and several of the research teams that were conducting confidential research in the estate were killed.

But this did not scare the scientists who are full of molecular formulas and equations. For safety reasons, some students were asked to return to their hometowns, but there are still a large number of professors and graduate students who insist on staying in the university city. Important subject materials and well-equipped laboratories, unless the Germans throw grenades directly into their plates. Otherwise, don't want these scientific madmen to leave their paradise.

Now that the brutal Germans are coming, the first thing scientists think about is not their own safety, but how to prevent their efforts from being destroyed by those barbarians. Especially for some projects that may be used for military purposes, they don’t want their achievements to be used by their compatriots after they are obtained by the enemy.

Research groups and laboratories of all sizes are busy, and they began to clean up their research materials, backed up important data, and destroyed parts that may be helpful to enemy research. Some valuable research results and materials were sealed and buried underground, waiting to be discovered again in the future. Many scientists have begun to burn their research data with hot tears in their eyes. For a few days, Oxford University City is full of paper-burning smoke and scattered embers.

Flori's laboratory is of course no exception. Researchers sealed a large number of test data records in metal cases. Buried in the backyard of the school, and copied five copies of the most important information. Then the five principal investigators in the research group kept them separately.

Flory believes that their research has not been truly successful, and the Germans should not be interested in this kind of thing. Making a backup is just in case, who knows what crazy things the German soldiers will do when they see the mold in the cultivation tank.

Immediately that afternoon, the voice of the King of England sounded on the campus of Oxford University. With the promulgation of the surrender edict, the frenzied behavior in the university came to an abrupt end, and the campus soon resumed its daily order and calmness.

Now that the war is over, there is no need to worry about the safety of their research results. The political issues are all left to the Cabinet and parliamentarians to resolve. As long as the peace agreement is signed in London, the Germans will soon leave honestly of.

The thoughts of these scientists are a little too naive to wait for their foreheads to celebrate. The German Army of an infantry brigade was killed in a mighty way and occupied the entire Oxford within two hours.

The German side issued a short statement. Every scientist here is a valuable asset belonging to all mankind, and must not be allowed to get any harm. There is now evidence that a group of gangsters who have escaped have infiltrated the university city, so they are looking for them Before they were hanged one by one, the school would be protected by the German Army. From the time the order was issued, Oxford entered military control for 24 hours. No one was allowed to leave his residence without permission without the permission of the Germans. At the same time, the German Army will be responsible for the supply of life for everyone, and the food and drinking water needed every day will be delivered to the door by special personnel.

As the saying goes, German soldiers acted quickly to seal everything they could find. Scientists were forced to leave their beloved laboratory, some were sent back to the dorms, and the other part was put under house arrest by the Germans.

Qian En is the part under house arrest, and now his heart is full of despair and resentment. Desperately, he believed that the reason why the Germans were under house arrest must be knowing his bloodline identity. He had obtained some domestic information from those Jewish organizations and knew how the Germans dealt with the Jews, not to mention that he was from Germany. The Jews who escaped and served the enemy country knew how they would end.

What made him resent was not the Germans outside the door, but his two best colleagues and the closest research partners.

Before he was caught by the Germans, he had discovered that the laboratory supervisor Flori and Hitley, who led the cultivation of the strain, were missing, and four of the five backup materials and most of them were missing with them. Penicillin crystals, of course, there are several boxes of precious strain samples.

They must have noticed that they had escaped ahead of time. This was understandable by Qian En, but what made him feel unforgivable was that they not only did not run with him, they didn’t even reveal any news to him.

Obviously he has been abandoned by his colleagues without hesitation. Qian En feels that he has been ruthlessly betrayed. To know that Flori is only sponsoring everywhere in the laboratory while gesturing on the head, Hitley is responsible for regulating the nutrition in the jar Qian is responsible for purifying penicillin to cultivate strains in soup. He is the one who contributes the most to the purification of penicillin in this experiment, and he is the one who expends the most effort.

Qian En believes that the two people are premeditated. They all know that they are Jews. If they throw the most important role in this work to the Germans, they will be able to take possession of his share in a stately manner. Research results and honors, no one will know that there is Ernst Chanen. When he rotted in the German concentration camp, these two guys enjoyed the honor and applause abroad with this great achievement. Whenever thinking of this, Qian En felt heartbroken and desperate.

Today's cough is much better, and the medicine works well, but it still needs to be consolidated, but I dare not repeat it again.
