Although streptomycin is difficult to find, fortunately, Ma Qiang knew that there was a scientific case behind this streptomycin, which gave him some confidence in finding a suitable streptomycin.

That is, the discovery of streptomycin is actually controversial. Later American soil microbiologist Waxman and his student Albert Sazzi once said that it was streptomycin he discovered.

As a student, Albert Saz was naturally the weaker side. Seeing his teacher making a fortune because of streptomycin, but he had not fallen into anything, Saz couldn't help but get angry and sued his teacher in court with a complaint.

The final result was that Waxman chose to settle out of court with Saz and gave Saz a certain patent fee.

Although Saz was treated fairly on the surface, in fact, he was rejected in more than 50 subsequent applications for laboratory work. The American scientific community closed the door to him and lost the opportunity to obtain Nobel.

After all, no capitalist hopes that there is a scientist in his lab who will fight for reasonable power for himself.

Well, it's a very American story!

When Ma Qiang thought of this, he couldn't help but remember that he heard in later generations that this blacklist system had appeared in HR in some places.

Forget it, work is important!

But thanks to this case, Ma Qiang has also heard about how Streptomyces, which can produce streptomycin, was discovered.

Ma Qiang put all his mobile phone and other items back into the safe, then messed up his password, and then walked out of the big tent.

"Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter my room, and those who violate the order will be killed directly!"

"No!" Dian Wei replied immediately.

"Brother Ma, have you thought about how to cure the Black Death?"

"When you have a clue, go and go to the research center first!"

——

"What? Blow the plague bacteria into the chicken?"

Li Wei listened to Ma Qiang's request and suddenly failed to react.

What's going to do with the general?

"Yes, go and do it now. Remember not to let the chicken infected with the Black Death run away. You must use a rope to control its range of movement, but you must not let it move!

It is best to take the chickens for a walk every day! Let them walk more and eat some bugs in the wild, sand, etc..”

"promise..."

Although Li Wei didn't understand why the general had to do such a strange move after Mrs. Qingcheng came, he still did it honestly.

"Brother Ma, can you say that chickens will find medicine to treat the Black Death?"

"My green orange is smart~" Ma Qiang smiled and nodded, "Although it is not right, it is not far from the facts.

The medicine that can cure the Black Death is actually in the land, it is a fungal metabolite. However, there are too many fungi in the land, and it is difficult for us to find the fungus we need at once, so we can only rely on these chickens."

Yes, Streptomyces in history were found through chickens.

By chance, Saz discovered that a chicken's throat contained a mold-rich soil block, and this mold was the later Streptomyces that might produce streptomycin.

Ma Qiang didn't understand why chickens looked for such clay to eat. They could only think that this was chicken's instinct. The chicken understood that these clays were good for it.

Of course, Ma Qiang didn't know how to make the chickens have the idea of ​​finding Streptomyces to eat. He could only get rid of the chickens with black dead bacteria, hoping that this would make the chickens have the idea of ​​finding Streptomyces to eat.

How to say it... Although chickens are not humans, Ma Qiang is a real dog...

Although there are not many live chickens in the military camp, there are also many. Thousands of live chickens were injected with plague bacteria by Li Wei and others in turn, and then they waited for them to attack.

The plague bacteria are indeed domineering. The next day, the chickens started to get wrong, and they twitched and bleeding from their mouths and noses, and gradually began to die.

"Colle the dead chickens and cremate them directly!"

Ma Qiang didn't have time to dig out one chicken one by one to find mold, so he could only bet that chickens could really know what mushrooms they could eat to save their lives.

Of course, these chickens were all infected. In order to prevent them from escaping, Ma Qiang simply dropped a team of sharpshooters and followed these chickens. Anyone who dared to escape would die!

On the third day, more and more dead chickens were dead, and the fragrance produced by cremated chickens made Ma Qiang saliva without any effort.

Madan, these chickens are so delicious!

On the fourth day, there were less than a hundred chickens left.

Ma Qiang didn't wait anymore. He asked Li Wei to destroy the obviously ineffective chickens directly, and then found a few lively chickens.

It's you!

Killed!

Get ready for boiling water!

No...it's preparing the vegetable dish!

Ma Qiang was too lazy to look for them one by one, so he directly sampled the throat, stomach and other parts of the chickens and added them to a vegetable dish full of plague bacteria.

Alas~ it’s just betting~ it’s just playing!

Time passed little by little, and everyone was staring at the plague bacteria colonies in these breeding dishes.

Finally, the plague bacteria in one breeding dish began to show significant changes, and compared with other breeding dishes, its colonies became significantly smaller.

"That's it! Find the corresponding Streptomyces immediately!!"

The bet is right!

This method is indeed useful!

I don’t know if this is really the right way to find Streptomyces or Ma Qiang’s luck is so good, or both, Ma Qiang finally saw hope of making streptomycin.

Although I found Streptomyces that may be able to make streptomycin, it still takes some time to cultivate and even produce streptomycin.

During this period, Ma Qiang could only hope that the spread of the epidemic would be further controlled, and the fewer people died from the Black Death, the better.

Just when Ma Qiang was nervously making streptomycin, Sun Ce from the South Bank was almost desperate.

I thought that the plague would not spread again when the scout was blocked, but who knew that on the fourth day of the blockade, the soldiers who blocked the military camp also began to get sick.

In the military camp, more than twenty soldiers fell down due to the illness.

And this is just the beginning.

On the fifth day, 22 new cases were added.

On the sixth day, there were 53 new cases.

On the seventh day, 114 new cases were added, and Liu Qi's military camp found.

What's even more terrifying is that the mortality rate of all sergeants who have developed the disease is as high as more than 90% within three days.

The remaining 10% is not healing, but dies three days later.

The terrible plague spread so quickly that the plague in the military camp spread throughout the army, and the morale of the army was in chaos for a while.

Sun Ce was at a loss because of the fierce epidemic and could only force the military Chinese medicine practitioners to come up with a solution as soon as possible.

The military Chinese medicine practitioners had no choice but to find the epidemic prevention manual written by Ma Qiang more than ten years ago, so that the soldiers in the army could drink boiled water, eat cooked food, take a hot bath, pay attention to hygiene, wear masks, and establish an isolation camp to isolate all the sergeants who have occurred.

Although Sun Ce was reluctant to implement the epidemic prevention strategy written by Ma Qiang, he had no other way and could only order it.
