Chapter 571 A Beauty in Troubled Times (6)
Therefore, it cannot be said that her research was ineffective; rather, it can be said that she failed to produce the expected results, but produced quite a few things on the fly.
"Father, why don't we donate these medicines to the soldiers over there? If they'd like, they can come and learn how to make them."
“Then your dad will have to invest in another laboratory for them, otherwise it won’t be easy for them to get the complete equipment.”
"Father, please help me out. Anyway, we didn't break any rules."
"Alright, alright, Father will have someone make the contact right away."
"Father is so good." Wangyou smiled and kissed her father's cheek. "Father, where is Mother?"
"Your mother is planning to go to the front lines these days!"
"Is it alright, Mother?"
“Your mother is skilled in martial arts, but she doesn’t know anything else. She’ll be fine going out.”
"But how old is Mother?" Wangyou asked worriedly.
“Our Xie family and your mother’s Zhang family are both famous long-lived families. The only difference is that our family is much cleaner than the Zhang family.”
"Then Father, how old are you and Mother this year?" Wangyou asked curiously.
"Ahem, daughter, how about taking a trip to Haishi? You can see what your older brother and the others are up to."
"Can I go?"
"As long as we don't cause any trouble, there won't be any problems. After that, Dad will take you to other places to play."
"But I haven't made my antidote yet."
"You already have a semi-finished product, don't push yourself too hard, you're still so young."
"Will Mother come with us?"
“Your mother has other matters to attend to, so we will meet up in another city.”
"Alright then!" Wangyou nodded. Maybe going out for a stroll would give her more inspiration. It's not that there aren't antidotes, but they're too expensive to make, and many of the ingredients are hard to find, some might not even be available.
Without further ado, Old Xie went to the village chief and arranged everything, including having the laboratory's medicines transported out.
When the Red Party learned that Old Man Xie was willing to invest in a laboratory and teach them how to make sulfonamides and penicillin, they rushed people to Dahe Village day and night.
The people who came were two doctors, a man and a woman. Old Xie first had their identities screened, and then had them tested in various ways. Only after confirming that there were no problems did he send them to Wangyou.
The two were stunned when they entered the underground prison. There were many Japanese people locked up there. When the people who came to move the medicine saw this scene, they finally understood where the Japanese people who often went missing in Ping'an County and Wu'an County had gone.
However, everyone tacitly refrained from asking questions and pretended not to see anything. Doctors Xiao Fan and Xiao Zhou were surprised that their teacher was a child, but after the initial surprise, they did not look down on him. Instead, they began to study very seriously.
The process of making sulfonamides is not difficult; the difficult part is making penicillin. Even so, it still took the two of them a month to learn how to make sulfonamides, which made Wangyouren very irritable.
The order and quantities were explained so clearly, how could something go wrong halfway through? Wangyou doesn't even expect them to learn how to manufacture penicillin anymore, and sulfonamides are sufficient now.
Xiao Fan and Xiao Zhou felt ashamed. They were college students, yet they were not as knowledgeable as a girl who was not even seven years old.
“If I could get involved, I would have gone to your base to make it. I’ve finally learned how to make sulfonamides. As for penicillin, the formula and steps are all here. Take it back and study it carefully. My father and I are going on a long trip.”
"Thank you, Teacher Xie. We will definitely study this diligently when we get back," Xiao Fan and Xiao Zhou said with a sense of shame.
It's not that Xiao Fan and Xiao Zhou lack learning ability, but rather that Wang You's standards are too high. Not only are the sulfonamides sold on the market expensive, but the purified ones are not as pure as those purified by Wang You. And Wang You is holding these two to her standards.
In other words, normally one or even two vials of sulfonamide are needed to save a life, but the sulfonamide produced by Wangyou is only half a vial, which means that more lives can be saved on the battlefield.
Most importantly, the sulfonamide production method that Xiao Fan and Xiao Zhou learned in a month is completely comparable to the efficacy of penicillin on the market, and has no side effects.
It's a pity that they wasted a lot of materials and made many defective products. According to Wangyou's requirements, these defective products should be destroyed because they would have side effects if used by humans. However, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Fan kept them all.
There's no other way, we'll just have to go even if it's a poor man's business. The side effects are better than losing our lives. I'm sure the leaders would do the same if they knew.
Xiao Fan and Xiao Zhou arrived empty-handed, but left with a truckload of sulfonamides, all in barrels, though not many were of high quality.
But this also surprised the leaders of the Red Party. So much sulfonamide, how many lives could it save!
Moreover, the laboratory funded by Old Man Xie was built within a month and was located at their headquarters. Raw materials for making sulfonamides and penicillin were delivered regularly, which solved most of their problems.
"Goodbye, Mother!"
"Goodbye, Mother has to go take care of some things now. You and your father have fun."
"I understand, Mother. Mother, please be careful."
“Mother knows too.”
After seeing Ms. Zhang off, Wangyou and Old Man Xie packed their luggage and set off.
In fact, most of their luggage was inside the wooden compartment; the suitcases on the outside were just a disguise.
When the father and daughter changed trains for the third time, Wangyou was no longer as excited as before; she was now suffering from back pain from sitting on the train for so long.
"Father, I feel unwell."
"We'll be in Haishi after this trip. Dad just bought some chestnuts, would you like some?"
"Yes!" Wangyou nodded. "Father, are my eldest brother, second brother, third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother, sixth brother, and seventh brother all in Haishi?"
"Not necessarily, I'd guess most of them aren't there."
"Well, I knew they wouldn't stay put."
"You're just as restless as I am."
"Daddy, give me one so I can peel it myself." Wangyou stretched out her chubby little hand to change the subject.
"Alright, Father will enjoy my daughter's care today too," Old Man Xie teased.
The father and daughter ate chestnuts and looked at the scenery outside the car window, quite relaxed.
"Father, I want to go out and see what's going on. It's so stuffy in here." After a while, Wangyou couldn't sit still any longer.
"Okay, let's go get something to eat." Old Xie nodded and led Wangyou out.
As the father and daughter walked towards the dining car, they noticed something different when they passed a particular carriage; the people in that carriage seemed rather diverse!
The father and daughter exchanged a glance. It seemed they had stumbled upon an assassination attempt, but neither of them panicked. They calmly walked through the carriage and into the dining car.
The food in the dining car wasn't exactly delicious, but it wasn't bad either; it was just average, enough to fill your stomach.
It's a pity, they're both terrible cooks, so they have no right to complain.
