Lord of Industrialization

Little Louis had listened to the imperial doctor's lectures on medical skills before, and he personally tested Te'ao and the others' pulses. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was normal.

As soon as he walked out of the tent, he saw a knight pulling a sheep. He thought that the mutton was not enough for one sheep. Could it be related to the treatment of diseases?

Out of curiosity, he followed to a group of strange tents.

Two tents were cordoned off 10 meters away. Every three meters there was a bilingual warning sign saying "No entry for unoccupied persons." One tent was connected to the water pipe and the drainage ditch, and there was a sealed corridor connecting the two tents. The tents were connected together, and the other tent was sealed tightly. There was a cabinet by the door that penetrated the tent cloth, and there were several machines that looked like blowers between the two tents.

Friedrich was checking the sheep that had been delivered. The sheep looked healthy. He nodded and said a few words to the people next to him.

Little Louis went over and asked: "Professor Friedrich, can I go in and visit?"

Friedrich thought for a moment, nodded and said, "No problem, but there are many requirements in the laboratory. Please comply with them and follow the instructions."

Little Louis agreed immediately.

He has heard that magicians' laboratories are very dangerous, and you will die if you mess with them.

Then Friedrich took him to the first tent. First, he had to take off all his clothes, wash his whole body with sulfur soap and a white soap, and then put on the clothes prepared inside.

Out of curiosity, little Louis did as he was told. He washed it carefully in the bathroom, went to the dressing room and put on underwear and outerwear all made of white cotton, a mask, a hat, and white cloth shoes.

When I walked out of the dressing room, the curtain was made of airtight tape. There were iron suctions on both sides that automatically closed it tightly. Wind blew out from the gaps.

Friedrich taught little Louis how to push the door curtain away from him, and then washed his hands again with alcohol on the table next to him.

At this time, a young female researcher walked out of the women's area next to her. While she was disinfecting her hands, Friedrich said to her: "You will do the yellow plate later, and I will do the blood plate. In addition to the patient, there is also a reference person. Make two sets, don’t forget.”

Little Louis couldn't understand it, but he thought it was very powerful.

Walking through the corridor, he saw something in another tent that made him feel even more powerful.

There are many cabinets and tables with large labels on them, which read petri dishes, beakers, golden bean liquid, beef extract, agar, heating table, purified water, sterilization table, operating table, refrigerator, constant temperature incubator, etc. Little Louis looked at Do you understand and don't understand words?

Manuel was already here. When he saw Friedrich come in, he said to the outside: "The blood can be taken."

Little Louis thought he wanted to take the blood of the sheep just now, so he turned to Friedrich and asked: "Is there anything I can do?"

Friedrich thought for a moment and said, "There is a physical job. I wonder if Your Highness would be willing to try it."

Little Louis immediately agreed, but there was no problem with the physical work, but he couldn't do the technical work himself.

Not long after, someone outside knocked on the cabinet that connected the inside and outside. Manuel used magic to sterilize the cabinet, and then took out a glass Erlenmeyer flask filled with a lot of sheep blood.

He took the Erlenmeyer flask to the sterilization table and sterilized it again. Friedrich took it to the operating table and poured a lot of small glass beads about 3 mm in diameter into it, plugged it with a cork, and let Little Louis shake it for 15 minutes.

Friedrich said to little Louis: "This is to remove some things from the sheep blood so that the blood will not coagulate. Shake it and pour the top part into another beaker, and then store it in the refrigerator."

"If Your Highness feels bored, you can shake it while watching us make something."

Little Louis asked nervously: "Aren't you going to put sheep blood into your father's veins?"

He was a little worried, what if his father likes to eat grass in the future?

"How is that possible?" Friedrich smiled and shook his head, "Everyone can have trouble with blood transfusions."

"People have been studying blood transfusions for hundreds of years. Some people survive and some die. The reasons are being studied. I hope there will be results within fifty years."

"This blood is used as a culture medium to observe what kind of bacteria are in His Majesty the King's blood and whether he has been completely cured."

Little Louis breathed a sigh of relief, that's good.

Over at the heating table, the female researcher and Friedrich began to heat the pure water extracted using the water displacing technique in a beaker, and then poured in the weighed salt, golden bean liquid and beef extract. After the latter two reagents were opened, When the outside is sealed, it must be placed on a disinfection table for Manuai to disinfect.

Little Louis curiously asked what the latter two things were, and Friedrich said: "Golden bean liquid is a by-product of golden beans making soy cheese, and beef extract is the product of beef hydrolysis, which provides nutrients for cultured bacteria."

Once again, I was confused.

When fifteen minutes were up, little Louis put the triangular beaker on the table, waved his hand, and under Friedrich's guidance, poured the supernatant into the beaker, covered it, and put it in the refrigerator.

At this time, a jar was delivered from outside. It was made of black iron. Little Louis had seen good things, and he could tell at a glance that it was a metal that could defend against magic.

He soon learned that it was to defend against Manuai's disinfection magic.

There was some alcohol in the jar, and four small glass bottles with lids on them, with ropes of different colors tied around their necks, containing blood.

Little Louis asked: "Which bottle of blood belongs to my father?"

Friedrich shook his head and said: "I don't know. We just use the blood sent for culture. Only Dr. Frank knows the details."

"However, according to my experience, the blood of people with weak health is darker."

Little Louis saw that the color difference between the four bottles of blood was obvious, and he understood in his heart.

Put the four bottles of blood in the refrigerator first and use them later.

After a while, the female researcher over there cooked the culture medium, took out 12 petri dishes from the cabinet, and poured the culture medium into them.

Friedrich asked her to boil water in a large beaker, put a certain amount of the sheep's blood that little Louis shook just now into a small beaker, and then heat it over the water.

Little Louis asked curiously: "Why is it frozen and then heated?"

Friedrich replied: "The purpose of freezing is to prevent it from deteriorating. Blood can easily go bad."

"Heating has to be poured into the jelly later. If it is too cold, the jelly will solidify and become uneven."

Little Louis half understood what he was saying, but he soon understood.

Friedrich used a thermometer to measure the temperature of the culture medium he cooked. When it just dropped below 42 Webster degrees, he poured in the sheep blood with a lower temperature, stirred evenly immediately, and then poured it into the 12 newly taken out petri dishes. inside.

After a while, the medium cooled down and solidified.

The female researcher wrote the number and date and time on the piece of paper, pasted it on the bottom of the petri dish, placed it on the sterilization table for Manuel to sterilize, and then placed it on the operating table and arranged it according to the number.

Under the current conditions, they can only do blood culture using the dilution coating plate method. Four bottles of blood are diluted 10, 100 and 1000 times with pure water. One of each of the two culture media is placed and spread with a triangular glass rod. flat, and finally placed in an incubator for culture.

When leaving the laboratory, Friedrich said to little Louis: "The results will be available within 24 hours at the earliest. Generally speaking, the results within 48 to 72 hours are the most reliable."

Little Louis just nodded. The unprecedented experience just now deeply shocked him.

He looked back at the laboratory and asked, "Isn't such a laboratory very expensive?"

He didn't know anything else. Just those glasswares, he could tell at a glance that they were not cheap.

Friedrich said: "I don't know the specific price, it's all handled by the principal, but I know it's worth it."

"Four years ago, jet diarrhea broke out in a small town in the Principality of Mainz. At that time, we didn't have such good conditions. We drove the carriage there and spent three days to determine the cause and the source well, and another two days to find the appropriate medicine. , and in the end, the epidemic was brought under control in less than a month.”

"The principal only started to study this laboratory after that time, so that he can go wherever there is an epidemic."

Little Louis' eyes were red, and he almost wanted to pack up Frederick and the others and kidnap them away.

Jet diarrhea is a very serious infectious disease with a mortality rate of over 60% and spreads quickly. This alone is enough to demonstrate the value of the laboratory.

But little Louis was depressed again. Now that the war was approaching, the country did not have so much money to invest.

But he also thought that he now had a good set of cards in his hand that he could play to Archduke Wesson's liking. At least he could hire this laboratory to fly over to save lives when a plague broke out?

But another question came to his mind. There were too many cards and he didn't know which one Archduke Wesson liked. How about playing them all and seeing which one he would pick?

Little Louis quickly made a decision. Since those cards were to be played before the next war, it would be better to use them here first.
