Chapter 81 The first step in the light chemical industry
From Lu Hong's point of view, letting Xue Fucheng go to the church hospital for the so-called fatal surgery of this era is obviously a suicide act. Twenty years later, a large number of wounded people died tragically on the operating table of the hospital. That was twenty years later, let alone now...
Synthetic drugs in this era may still be in the laboratory. Most Western medicines are extracts from natural materials. After he asked the American Hebrowne, this man had some Western medicines from this era. However, those bizarre names made him unable to help but complain. Taking these inexplicable extracts will be a weak existence in front of our Chinese medicine that has been passed down for thousands of years in Greater China.
In fact, most of the early Western medicines had very serious side effects, in addition to their efficacy, which was that they entered the 20th real world. After the era of synthetic drugs came, tens of thousands of so-called Western medicines were produced in just a few decades, but the only ones that were truly verified and continued to use were actually aspirin and sulfa antibiotics.
Later, Xue Yiyun came back with a serious look on his face. Chen Lianfang was very dedicated and accompanied him to take Xue Fucheng's pulse. However, after coming out, his expression became even more serious. This old Chinese doctor was not the kind of quack doctor who was blindly xenophobic. In fact, Chinese medicine in this era has generally begun to pay attention to certain treatment methods of Western medicine, especially in Shanghai, where the collision and communication between China and the West are hot spots.
After Master Chen passed on Hebrown's opinion to Xue Yiyun, the eldest son of the Xue family was quite anxious and asked Hebrown for questioning. He couldn't help but call Chen Lianfang to discuss it. As a result, although the two Chinese and Japanese judged the condition similarly, they wanted to go far in terms of treatment methods.
Hebrown suggested entering the church hospital immediately, where he believed that some drugs could relieve the symptoms, and that, once the condition worsened, at least there was a possibility of surgical treatment... Although so far, he has not figured out the cause of Xue Fucheng's acute illness.
Chen Lianfang refused to recognize the Western medicine practices that often require a knife and the extracts that are said to be directly derived from various animals and plants. That can be regarded as practicing medicine. It is more like using people to do living experiments. Our ancestors of China were the insights obtained by Shennong's taste of hundreds of herbs, which was not like Westerners using bottles and jars to cook various strange soup ingredients.
Before noon, after Chen Lianfang's decoction was poured into Xue Fucheng, although there was no immediate effect, the condition seemed to improve under Herbourne's blood pressure and body temperature measurement. Therefore, Herbourne no longer insisted on entering the church hospital... The situation seemed to have made everyone see some hope.
Seeing this, Lu Hong was not inconvenient to do anything amazing now. He briefly introduced the disadvantages of Western medical surgery he knew to Xue Yiyun and Chen Lianfang, and repeatedly emphasized that if it were not necessary, he would never choose the current surgery. However, he repeatedly affirmed the blood pressure gauge and body temperature gauge that Hebrown stayed here. These words made Xue Yiyun and Chen Lianfang look at Lu Hong as half of the doctor.
When he returned to the official residence, Feng Hesheng had been waiting here for a long time. He brought another telegram sent by Wang Renkan from Lushun. The telegram was not much, but Lu Hong was sweating coldly. The imperial envoy obviously found a big problem in Lushun. What's even more terrible is that Yan Fu was really not a case-handling material. Although he had some connections in the Beiyang Navy, Wang Renkan said in the telegram that he was reckless in doing things and asked Lu Hong to rush to meet him as soon as possible.
Lushun Military Port... That is the base camp of Beiyang. The Westernization Movement has been clamoring for coastal defense for 30 years. This has invested a lot of money to build the forts in various places. The one with the most money is Lushun Port... However, after thinking about it carefully, Luhong did not understand what kind of trouble Yan Fu had made there. It seems that he should go there as soon as possible!
However, I have made such a big mess on the Shanghai Beach and now I can leave as soon as I say. Although Qin Tianmin is left to control it, to be honest, I may not be completely relieved... Nan Rui and Nan Chen are really short of money for the modification of the two ships. Although I have taken Ruisheng's path from the Manufacturing Bureau, the cost of the money cannot be saved when it comes to real materials, which has led to the transformation of the two warships being half-baked!
Although my time travel career has reached its current situation, it has opened up some situations, but the situation is so urgent that I have to follow Wang Renkan to put out the fire everywhere and trace the root cause. This is because I complained about the military discipline concept through Huang Tifang! However, my position is not high now, but because of the imperial envoy's name, the power and responsibility at hand are very satisfied.
That night, Lu Hong had to consider the affairs of Shanghai one by one. The current production capacity of the machine factory was almost saturated. He thought about letting Qin Tianmin arrange to expand operations and carefully studied the development path given by the super industrial system. The light chemical industry was quickly included in his development goals. It is obvious that the history of modern science is actually a history of progress in the development of chemical industry.
Without progress in the chemical industry, all technological progress would face bottlenecks. This time, Lu Hong became interested in the rubber trade that was already very common in this era!
Natural rubber, as a trading product, has become a trend in the Nanyang region. However, the era of the real rubber industry has never arrived at. Even the European rubber industry, which has developed slowly for 40 years, is now formed only the early rubber industry. Goodyear's vulcanized rubber technology made him die alone after bankruptcy. However, this technology gave birth to the Western rubber industry. However, no one knows that the polymer chemical industry, which started with the rubber industry, has just begun.
The rubber products of this era, based on the investigations collected by Lu Hong from foreign companies, are actually extremely scarce. Although Goodyear's vulcanized rubber method has been successful, there are actually too many problems with primary vulcanized rubber. However, the carbon black reinforced vulcanization technology provided by the super industrial system is undoubtedly an excellent solution.
He called Cheng Daqi and Sun Cairen overnight and handed the vulcanizing furnace drawings to Cheng Daqi for research and development. As the technical director of the specific rubber workshop, Sun Cairen obtained an explanation on the strengthening technology of carbon black rubber...
The two of them were surprised after getting the materials and drawings. The machine factory's operation was already very excited. In the past two days, several experienced workers have been recruited, but the orders placed by the silk reel factory have already distributed the production capacity to thirty months later... For them, it means the large bonuses that Lu Hong promised and the factory options a few years later.
Unexpectedly, a new industry was launched so soon. Sun Cairen held the instruction manual and thought about it for a long time before saying, "Sir, I think this industry can be successful... But I want to go to the explosives factory to recruit some old friends. If you prepare, you must have a while. Don't rush to open a factory!"
Lu Hong was also worried that this guy would just tinker with gunpowder and was not familiar with chemical machines. Now it seems that this idea is unnecessary. This guy is an excellent worker in the Manufacturing Bureau's smokeless gunpowder factory. This ** can be handled safely. This dangerous vulcanized rubber is naturally no problem.
As for the issue of recruiting people, Lu Hong only made it clear, "Old Sun, if you go to recruit people, remember to keep a low profile..."
This made Sun Cairen a little stunned. After a while, he asked: "Sir, what is low-key?"
