Greece to roman road

After coming out of the ward, Constantine, led by Dean Macaulay and Nina, came to the dean's office at the end of the corridor.

"How is it? Dean Macaulay, is Bailangduoxi used by the University of Athens to fight bacterial infections?" Constantine asked impatiently before the three of them could sit down.

Hearing Constantine's words, Nina and Macaulay looked at each other, then nodded in unison, and replied excitedly: "It's simply a miracle, Your Highness, this is the first time in human history, it's simply It’s like snatching the lives of these young men from the hands of death, which is unbelievable.”

The expressions of the two revealed unconcealable excitement.

After saying that, Nina handed a brown bottle to Constantine.

Constantine carefully observed the white powder in the bottle and thought that this was Bailangduoxi.

Its other name may be better known - sulfonamide.

"Your Highness, we used this medicine to treat the injured soldiers as you said, and the effect of this medicine was unexpectedly good. In fact, without this miraculous medicine, the patients with amputations in the ward would have lost their limbs." , it was almost impossible to survive. Before the advent of this drug, even if amputation patients did not die from excessive bleeding, it was almost impossible to escape bacterial infection," said Dean McCauley.

"Who would have thought that this dye would have such a miraculous effect, that this drug could inhibit the growth of bacteria in patients' wounds. Apart from miracles, I can't imagine any other explanation for this." As a doctor, Dean Macaulay said, Compared to Nina, the manager of a pharmaceutical company, she is better able to understand the great significance of this drug.

During the Battle of Salonika, when Constantine came to the hospital in the rear to inspect wounded soldiers, he was deeply shocked by the miserable conditions in the field hospital.

Throughout the field hospital, soldiers screamed and wailed one after another. The ground was covered with dazzling black blood stains, and flies buzzed back and forth, lingering among the rotting stumps and flesh.

The fishy smell of blood, mixed with the smell of rotting meat flowing with green water, can almost make people suffocate.

People who are not familiar with the situation might think they are in hell.

The injured soldiers were bandaged after simple disinfection at the nurse's door, and then lay helplessly on the hospital bed, waiting for their fate to be decided.

If they can hold on, they can win their lives!

Whether the injured soldiers can survive mainly depends on their vitality and willpower!

After understanding the cruel situation that doctors had no antibacterial drugs to use, Constantine thought of the drug sulfonamide, which was originally invented as a red dye and was later accidentally discovered to be used as an antibacterial drug.

At Constantine's behest, the medical staff received an inexplicable order to try the use of perondol (another name for sulfonamide) as an antibacterial drug.

In fact, most of the medical staff who first received the order thought the order was too ridiculous and used a drug with no proven effect to treat the wounded.

In the early 20th century, "secret recipes" were rampant in the drug market, and various "drugs" were heavily advertised. However, doctors knew that the only ones that were really useful were quinine, artemisinin, aspirin, and morphine, which were already recognized drugs. In addition to providing a comfortable environment for patients to recuperate, doctors can only hope that the patients will recover on their own.

"I think this is simply a gift from God. Bailangduoxi is not only for treating open wounds. Although we haven't had time to figure out why Bailangduoxi can inhibit bacteria, what is certain is that this drug can indeed Dealing effectively with germs." Dean Macaulay was so excited that he held Constantine's left hand tightly with both hands, regardless of etiquette.

"I even think that all diseases that were previously considered incurable can now be tried with Bailang Duoxi, and maybe more miracles can happen."

As far as Constantine knew, after the 1912 war, the actual number of soldiers killed in the Greek army was 2,896, and the number of injured was 4,327.

It can be said that the use of sulfa greatly reduced the casualty rate of Greek soldiers in this war, thus saving thousands of Greek lives.

"Now that Bailangduoxi has proven its worth, then, Nina, your Philip Pharmaceutical Company should cooperate with the Athens City Hospital to research this drug clearly as soon as possible. As a drug, Bailangduoxi also has side effects, right? "Constantine ordered the two of them.

Constantine remembered that after the emergence of the more perfect antibacterial drug penicillin, sulfonamides quickly disappeared from the public eye because sulfonamides had too many side effects and were easily poisoned.

"Then I'm going to start this work." Dean Macaulay hurriedly left the office and went to the laboratory.

Only Constantine and Nina were left in the house.

"Nina, you have also seen that Bailangduoxi is a new special medicine, and your Philip Pharmaceutical Company is the largest pharmaceutical company in Greece. The army urgently needs to purchase a batch of Bailangduoxi as a military material reserve. This The order will be left to your company," Constantine said to Nina.

The biggest users of drugs like antibacterials are none other than the military. After all, no one is more likely to be injured than soldiers.

After the leakage of artemisinin production technology, although Philip Pharmaceuticals is still the largest pharmaceutical manufacturer in Greece, its performance has plummeted.

After all, after Greece defeated the Ottoman Empire in the 1895 war, the morale of the Greek nation and country was high. It happened that the drug sales agreement reached with the Dutch at that time expired. After there were no restrictions on the sales market, relying on the advantages of exclusive technology, at the same time The production cost is lower than that of quinine, a specific drug for treating malaria. Philip Pharmaceuticals exported artemisinin to foreign countries in large quantities and made a lot of money in a short period of time.

Philip Pharmaceuticals became famous for a time, and almost everyone in Europe knew that the Greeks had found a cheap malaria drug.

Philip Pharmaceuticals, which has made huge profits, has naturally become the target of everyone's attention. In a short period of time, there have been many incidents of commercial espionage stealing production technology in factories that produce artemisinin, even though Constantine was stationed in the factory. The seconded professional intelligence personnel from the Military Intelligence Division of the General Staff Headquarters also failed to prevent the outflow of artemisinin production technology.

The rapidly rising performance of Philips Pharmaceuticals, which had been prosperous for some time, came to an abrupt end.

As a manager of a pharmaceutical company, Nina naturally understands the huge wealth behind this new type of specific medicine. The antibacterial drug market is much larger than the malaria drug market.

Bailangduoxi is the second specific drug of Philip Pharmaceuticals, which will be the growth point for the long term in the future.
