Scholars in the courtyard

First Machinery Department

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Huang didn't look like Yang Xiaotao just now, and he felt much lighter.

The initial hesitation but the final confirmation of ecstasy made Mr. Huang feel that his neck no longer hurt so much.

"Soap, it's actually soap. It's unbelievable, but I have to believe it!"

"Ha ha."

"This damn machine factory, Yang Xiaotao, what kind of luck does this kid have! Ah! Lao Xia!"

"Our Machinery Department has done another big thing."

Mr. Huang smiled. After Mr. Xia was happy, he blamed himself a little, "It's all my fault. I forgot about it."

"I was busy with matters in Yanzhou and Northwest some time ago. The chemical factory said they were going to make soap. I thought they were going to make something internally for the Chinese New Year..."

Mr. Xia said, a little frustrated. He had not yet dealt with a lot of things at hand, but something he had ignored brought a huge surprise.

There is a feeling of doubting life.

Seeing this, Mr. Huang hurriedly comforted his brother, "It's not your fault! Who would have thought that there would be an outbreak of influenza? Who would have thought that soap can cure diseases?"

"If I had said this a few years ago, the person who said it would probably have been laughed to death!"

"Everything is a coincidence, there is no need to blame yourself!"

Mr. Xia felt better after hearing this, and then thought of business.

"Old Huang, you stay here while I take people to the Red Star Chemical Plant. People are needed there right now. The chief has said that large-scale production is going to happen next."

"This requires a lot of supplies. We can't rely on the machinery factory for deployment. We need to activate the surrounding areas to ensure sufficient use."

Mr. Huang nodded, "Go ahead and leave this to me."

"good!"

The two had a brief exchange, and Mr. Xia went out and left the office.

When Mr. Xia leaves, half of the people responsible for the security of the First Machinery Department Headquarters will also be transferred away.

A group of about ten trucks rushed towards the chemical plant.

On the other side, the old man put down the phone.

The people taking care of him quickly came forward and helped him sit down.

Tong Xiaolong and Secretary Tang stood aside with smiles on their faces.

The two bars of soap that Tong Xiaolong brought back yesterday made Secretary Tang look ugly.

Is this the thing?

Can it cure diseases? Can it cool down?

If she hadn't told Tong Xiaolong personally that the machinery factory had a way to cool down the temperature and let Tong Xiaolong take a trip, it would have been unbelievable!

Moreover, she also heard it from other people's mouths, so she didn't know the details.

But after listening to Tong Xiaolong's explanation, she realized that there must be something she didn't understand.

The two decided to give it a try.

So after the director of child care completed the inspection, the two of them used soap to wash the old man's hands and wipe his face in the name of taking care of him.

In order to ensure safety, the two of them also used it, and they used two pieces together.

After taking a shower in the evening, the nurse on duty found that the old man's body temperature had dropped by 0.5 degrees.

But the nurse thought it was normal. The symptoms of the flu were that the temperature fluctuated between high and low. Generally speaking, it remained high.

Then Secretary Tang and the two of them didn't care about the trouble, and washed themselves again in the first half of the night and the second half of the night.

The nurse looked on, and although it was strange, she didn't care.

Waiting for the early hours of the morning, the nurse suddenly heard someone talking.

At this time, the nurse suddenly woke up and ran out to call someone.

Tong Xiaolong, who was at the door, rushed in immediately. Looking at the old man who opened his eyes, joy filled his heart.

Soon, other people came running after getting the news.

With the confirmation of the chief doctor, the old man's body temperature dropped directly to 38 degrees, a full two degrees drop, making the treatment more reliable.

The people around were very happy after hearing this.

Afterwards, the old man ate two bowls of millet porridge and felt much better.

At this time, Tong Xiaolong and Secretary Tang told them about going to the machine factory privately.

The two of them knew that this was a violation of discipline, and the chief doctor on the side also had a sullen face. He didn't blame the two for being greedy for merit, but he just shouldn't hide this kind of thing from him.

What if, what if?

Fortunately, it's okay this time.

However, is it really that soap that can cool down?

The doctor was skeptical, but his doubts were soon dispelled!

An encrypted document was handed to Secretary Tang. After looking at the rank, Secretary Tang handed it to the old man who held out his hand.

Then, the old man laughed heartily.

Coughing, getting out of bed, and picking up the phone.

Hence the conversation with the First Machinery Department just now.

Lying on the bed again, the old man asked about what happened recently.

Secretary Tang just talked about the domestic flu situation. The old man listened for a while and suddenly pointed to the soap box aside, "Go over there and send it to the boss."

"He needs it more than me!"

Tong Xiaolong quickly stepped forward to comfort him, "Chief, one piece is enough!"

The old man nodded, feeling the weakness coming from his body and said no more.

They just instruct the soap to be produced as soon as possible, distributed, and given priority to ensure hospital use.

Then he fell asleep.

Secretary Tang nodded and left. At the same time, as Tong Xiaolong said, he asked the nurse to spray and disinfect with soapy water and wipe the chief frequently!

chemical plant.

After Xu Yuanshan received Yang Xiaotao's notification, he arranged for personnel to go full production and material dispatch. After finishing his work, he waited at the gate.

Not long after, a motorcade came.

The car stopped and Mr. Xia came over quickly.

The guards who jumped down from behind followed the requirements and guarded the chemical plant.

Everything within a kilometer radius is under surveillance.

Around these four-nine cities, in order to deal with possible crises, various hotel bases are also ready for battle.

"Chief!"

I met Xu Yuanshan, and Mr. Xia nodded and shook hands.

"How was the production?"

"Production has been resumed, and the raw materials are enough for today. By night, it will not be enough!"

"What are you missing?"

"There is a shortage of grease, acid, and alkali, as well as manpower. We basically no longer pack, but packing is also a problem. Manpower has to work in three shifts, which is insufficient!"

Xu Yuanshan said it was difficult, and Mr. Xia nodded.

"I will arrange the people and materials. Now I want to know how much you can do in a day!"

Xu Yuanshan had already judged this, "As long as the logistics unit pays 10,000 yuan a day, we can guarantee it."

"good!"

"The current situation is that every extra minute and one piece of soap is responsible for life!"

"What you have to do is to ensure that it is made according to the original craftsmanship!"

"Don't worry, chief, we promise to complete the task."

As they spoke, the two came to the production workshop and looked at the busy workers. Mr. Xia frowned, "This production line must be protected. Now the people across the country are counting on it!"

"If something goes wrong, no one can take responsibility!"

Xu Yuanshan's heart tightened, "I'll ask the machinery factory to send someone over later to be responsible for maintenance!"

"Um!"

Mr. Xia nodded, and then walked straight to the office, ready to report on the situation here.

On the other side, Mr. Huang received a notice from his superiors to establish a material dispatching working group.

The leader is Mr. Chen, and Mr. Huang was appointed as the deputy team leader, responsible for production.

After emergency consultations, the working group decided to focus on ensuring the supply of hospitals in various places. If there is excess, it can be distributed to various factories to organize workers to resume work.

Of course, all this depends on the production speed of the chemical plant.

In this regard, all the materials needed by chemical plants have been given the green light.

In order to ensure logistical supply, slaughterhouses and reagent raw material factories were given priority to use soap.

At noon, the first batch of raw materials arrived to ensure sufficient production.

At the same time, the machinery factory dispatched 200 workers, led by Li Wei and Li Nan, to help in the chemical plant.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the transportation team of the machinery factory set off and came to the chemical plant to load the trucks.

This time, in addition to leaving behind emergency vehicles, the ten newly produced tricycles were also dispatched by Yang Xiaotao.

2 p.m.

At the entrance of the Sixth Hospital.

Liu Jun, captain of the machinery factory team, led three soldiers to the branch entrance, took out the special pass, and then drove into the hospital.

Soon, the vice president in charge of hospital affairs personally received the soap.

As for how to use it, they have been notified. Although they have doubts, due to the doctor's professionalism, they still give him hope.

After handing over the soap, Liu Jun and others had to return to the chemical plant and continue waiting for the task.

The Sixth Hospital immediately took out the soap and distributed two pieces to each ward, asking the nurses to organize their hands and wash them every hour.

At the nurse's station, Li Qing sat with the director and discussed the soap.

The two had practiced medicine for many years and had never heard of this.

However, after the two people inquired, especially Zhou Shenghong's family, they were the ones who used soap, and they were 70-80% convinced.

"Director, from now on, you have to use soap to absorb it!"

Li Qing smiled and stroked his belly. The little guy inside was a little restless and quite noisy recently!

"Yes, in the future, everyone will probably fall in love with this plum blossom soap!"

As the two talked, the hospital was filled with the smell of soapy water.

"Not to mention, the smell is much better than disinfectant!"

The two of them laughed, and the other nurses at the medical station were also laughing.

At the same time, the same scene as in the Sixth Hospital continued to play out in Forty-Nine City.

After receiving the notice, no matter what the people in the hospital think, they must strictly implement it.

As a result, more and more hospitals are filled with the scent of plum blossom soap.

Even many years later, there will be a piece of soap engraved with plum blossoms next to the pool in hospitals, hotels and even public places in the 49 cities.

And people who came from that era would involuntarily pick it up and smell the fragrance every time they washed their hands.

The roads in Sijiucheng are quite busy today!

There are many more cars than before!

However, as long as the people guarding the checkpoints and patrols see a car with the logo of the Red Star Machinery Factory, all checkpoints will be cleared.

The most famous ones are those blue tricycles. From a distance, you can tell they are from the machinery factory.

And this car looks smaller than a truck, but it can haul as much cargo as a truck. It is especially agile and can get into some small alleys. A familiar driver can save half the time by driving it through the streets.

After delivering the medicine, you also have to go where to deliver the fuel.

Especially the fats supplied by slaughterhouses are extracted from pigs, cattle and sheep, and most of these animals are scattered in the towns around Sijiu City.

After leaving Sijiu City, the road is difficult to travel.

At this time, it can be seen that the tricycle is solid, and the three wheels continue to run on the bumpy road, delivering goods continuously.

So in the end, Mr. Xia got the reaction and had to ask the machinery factory to increase the production of tricycles to ensure transportation efficiency.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao was happy with this and allocated half of the manpower in the fourth workshop to give priority to the production of tricycles.

And as a car continued to transport the soap produced to various places according to the plan, more and more people got the news, and they were even more excited to learn that there was a way to treat the flu.

After more than ten days, I finally saw hope.

the next day!

Mr. Chen came to the First Machinery Department to take charge, Mr. Huang was constantly arranging supplies, and Mr. Xia was in charge of delivering goods at the chemical plant.

In the morning, Mr. Chen received the good news below, which finally put Mr. Chen's heart back into his stomach.

Especially when the news came that a large number of patients in the hospital had improved and no longer had fevers, it seemed as if a gap had been opened in the sky above Sijiu City, and the sun was exceptionally bright.

Similarly, the influenza epidemic in Shibalipo has been brought under control with no new cases.

There is no death.

The source of the flu is under control, which greatly reduces the pressure on epidemic prevention work!

Of course, when the good news comes, there are also purchasing requirements from various hospitals and various requests for inside information.

This time, the hospital's demand was far from being met with just a few hundred bars of soap.

In particular, soap itself has a certain probability, which has been seen in ward experiments. Some are effective and some are not.

Of these, less than one-third are effective.

But they don't care how much they occupy, as long as there's something useful inside.

Quality is not enough, quantity is needed.

This is what hospitals in Sijiucheng and surrounding areas think so.

As a result, the requests from the hospitals below were in the tens of thousands, and the chemical plant couldn't even get them all even if it was at full capacity.

What's more, there are so many factory residents in Forty-Nine City, especially schools, no matter how big or small, they are gathering places for people!

Mr. Chen is also a clever woman who cannot make a living without rice, so she can only adopt a limited supply to ensure that the hospital can control the disease while sending the remaining parts to other places.

After all, he still had to take care of some people's requests.

Of course, continuing like this is not the answer. We still need to urge the R\u0026D department to find the key as soon as possible and create therapeutic drugs.
