The Rise of the European Emperor

Marin has long had the idea of ​​establishing a general hospital, but he lacks medical talents. Two Mongolian doctors, Mozhigen and Battelle, can already be regarded as miracle doctors in Europe. However, they are only proficient in bruises, bone setting (which can be classified as orthopedics) and veterinary medicine, and they are not good at internal medicine, gynecology and pediatrics.

Therefore, even if the two have taught hundreds of disciples, Marin cannot build a hospital based on this. Otherwise, the newly built hospital might only have the Department of Orthopedics. After all, veterinary subjects cannot be listed in human hospitals. German orthopedics? German orthopedics led by Mongolian doctors? No matter how Marin thinks, it feels weird...

In fact, there is still a big surgeon hidden in Beihai, that is—Da Vinci...

Da Vinci's other surgical skills are definitely not as good as Mozhigen and Battelle, but Da Vinci's anatomical level is estimated to be at the top level in this era. After all, surgery hadn't yet taken off in this day and age. Da Vinci, who has rich experience in stealing and dissecting corpses, is definitely a pioneer in the surgical field.

However, because of the canon, Marin could not make Da Vinci's ability public. After all, desecrating a dead body is scorned and against the canon. For example, Vesalius, the famous pioneer of anatomy in the 16th century, was persecuted by the Holy See. Da Vinci is also smart. If Da Vinci dared to publish his anatomical diagrams, he would definitely not be able to escape the persecution of the church.

Fortunately, Marin was smarter and hugged the Holy See's thigh from the beginning. Even the current Pope Julius II is Marin's father-in-law. Therefore, Marin felt that he could use this relationship to promote the development of medicine...

For this reason, Marin intends to make two-handed preparations—on the one hand, Marin intends to continue to support Da Vinci’s research on autopsies, and even ask law enforcement agencies to provide some unidentified corpses of executed prisoners; on the other hand, Marin I plan to ask the Pope's father-in-law to make some policy relaxation on the issue of dissecting the human body, so as to prevent anatomy from being invisible. After all, anatomy is meant to go into the hospital. If you can't see the light, how can you treat patients?

In view of Da Vinci's superb anatomical ability, Marin decided to find an apprentice for Da Vinci, so as to carry forward this subject and provide convenience for surgery.

After choosing and choosing, Marin finally decided to let Mo Zhigen and Battelle, two veteran drivers who are good at surgery, follow Da Vinci to learn anatomy. After all, it is very difficult to find newcomers to learn this without a foundation, and there are obstacles in the canon. And Mo Zhigen and Battelle are not Christians, so they don't care about religious rules. Moreover, their surgical foundation is very strong, and they can learn more with less effort.

Then, Marin set up a secret anatomy base in the city of Aurich, and Da Vinci taught Mozhigen and Battelle in the secret base. Marin, on the other hand, is responsible for providing unclaimed corpses of death row prisoners as teaching materials...

However, the biggest problem in dissection is not the source of the corpse, but the preservation of the corpse. After all, there is no formalin in this era...

Marin sighed—it seems that formalin has to be provided by Marin, a half-assed chemical "master"...

Formalin is a formaldehyde solution, and formaldehyde is directly oxidized to formaldehyde by using methanol at a high temperature of 600 to 700 degrees, water, and air through catalysts such as silver, copper, and vanadium pentoxide. Vanadium pentoxide marin definitely does not exist, and I don't know it. But he has plenty of silver and copper. Therefore, the production process of formaldehyde is relatively simple.

But the difficulty is, how to obtain the raw material methanol for the preparation of formaldehyde?

In modern times, this is certainly not a problem. Use hydrogen and carbon monoxide to synthesize, or use natural gas for large-scale production... However, Marin is not a chemistry major, so he naturally doesn't understand those methods. Therefore, Marin cannot do those low-cost methods.

However, Marin does know a method of methanol preparation, which is also the earliest method of methanol production - dry distillation of wood...

At the earliest, people obtained methanol through dry distillation of wood, and even methanol was called "wood essence". However, the amount of methanol obtained from dry distillation of wood is very small.

If you want to prepare in large quantities, you don't know how much wood will be consumed, and the cost is very high.

However, Marin is now sitting on the endless virgin forests of the Americas, and there is no shortage of wood at all. Therefore, the stupid method of dry distillation of wood can also produce methanol.

With methanol, formaldehyde can be produced. Then, the formalin solution for preserving the corpse was naturally also available...

Thinking of the corpse soaked in formalin solution, Marin suddenly had the urge to vomit. Suddenly, Marin admired those who studied medical anatomy, and he wanted to know, after the anatomy class, would they still be able to eat meat?

For the great god Da Vinci, Marin also convinced. Because, Marin saw with his own eyes that he ate so much braised pork after dissecting a corpse. But Marin, who just watched for a while, saw the fat of the braised pork, and always unconsciously remembered the corpse dissected by Da Vinci. Then, Marin covered his mouth and vomited for a long time. When I came back, Da Vinci killed a plate of braised pork...

As for Mo Zhigen and Battelle, when they first learned anatomy from Da Vinci, they were also very uncomfortable, and they refused to touch the flesh for many days.

Only Da Vinci was surprised—as for what? Now there is a formalin solution made by Marin, which is much better. Back then, when he secretly dissected the corpse in the basement of the villa in the city of Milan, it was such a stench... Didn't he come here anyway?

For this, Marin, Mo Zhigen and Battelle can only express their admiration...

Fortunately, both Mo Zhigen and Battelle are old doctors, and they quickly adapted to it. And Marin, a non-medical person, still couldn't adapt to this. Simply, he never went to watch Da Vinci's anatomy class again, so as not to be disgusted again.

Out of curiosity, Marin didn't eat meat for a whole week after watching Da Vinci's anatomy class. Because, as soon as he saw the meat, he remembered the scene of that old pervert Leonardo da Vinci dissecting the corpse with his eyes shining. Then, he couldn't help but go out and vomit...

...

However, at present, Marin does not expect Da Vinci, Mozhigen and Battelle to improve the level of surgery. For the time being, Marin only made one request to them - to operate on appendicitis...

Because appendicitis is a very common disease with a high incidence rate. The fatality rate is also high in the absence of surgical intervention. But if there is surgery, it's actually a minor ailment. In his previous life, Marin had many classmates who had undergone appendectomy. If it was in ancient times, those students would probably have grass growing on their graves...

In order to tell the three people where the appendix is, Marin endured the nausea and went to the secret anatomy base again, pointed out the location of the appendix to the three people face to face, and told them the extent of the resection, so that they would not know how to cut the good intestines broken.

After hearing this, the eyes of the three medical leaders lit up, and they performed appendectomy operations on several corpses. And Marin had to stay there to observe and correct because of the need for supervision and correction...

Then, Marin spit out all the bile after returning...
