Crimson Dawn

Chapter 12

A person's future path is greatly influenced by childhood.As an ordinary only child, Chen Ke has no companions to play with.Parents are very busy at work. If Chen Ke can read books honestly at home and not go out to cause trouble, it will be a great convenience for his parents.Chen Ke also spent his childhood as they hoped.

Among many popular science books, "The Story of Candles" and "The Road to Conquering Bacteria" had a great influence on Chen Ke at that time.Originally a popular science work, it expounds the development history of chemistry and medicine in words that children can understand.Later, Chen Ke chose to major in chemistry. It must be said that these two books played a huge role.

"The Road to Conquering Bacteria" introduces the story of the fantasy doctor Ou Lixi's research on the special drug 606.Chen Ke later also specialized in the production methods of 606 and 914.I also personally gave birth. After completing this experiment, Chen Ke can still remember the joy in his heart at that time.Therefore, on June 1905, 6, Chen Ke felt double the joy.

606 and 914, created a precedent for chemical drug therapy.In 1908, Eurich received numerous honors.Chen Ke is very envious of the honors this great senior received back then. Now, although he doesn't expect to get the "face" of the senior, at least he can get the "face".Eurich is a German, and the British could not imitate this medicine until the outbreak of World War I.During the First World War, the British could not get the supply of medicines, so they had to spend huge sums of money to research alternative products.It was not until Germany was defeated and after the end of World War I that the British, the victors, mastered this special medicine.

"We must rescue He Zudao. He is our colleague, our comrade, and we cannot abandon him." Chen Ke said to the youths. "Hui Shen, take me to see He Zudao. Tell him the news."

Qi Huishen looked at Chen Ke very moved, "Mr. Wen Qing, you should write a letter and ask me to take it there. He Zudao said that he respects Mr. Wen Qing very much, and he would have no face to see you if he contracted this disease."

"What's so embarrassing about this kind of thing?"

"Mr. Wen Qing, I will tell him now that you want to give He Zudao medicine. He Zudao has the intention of dying after contracting this disease. If you go to see him now, I'm afraid he really can't think about it. You write a letter and I'll take it to him."

Hearing Qi Huishen's sincere words, Chen Ke had no choice but to take a notebook and a disposable pen, and under the envious and surprised eyes of the young people, wrote a letter in super bad calligraphy.The content of the letter is very simple, Chen Ke wants He Zudao to believe that he can make a special medicine to save He Zudao.This new group never forsakes a single companion.

Seeing Qi Huishen leaving the gate with the letter in his hand, Chen Ke looked at the other young people who were looking at him eagerly, and felt uneasy about the secrecy work.Up to now, the only person Chen Ke can cooperate with is You Gou.There is only harm in these young people who know too much, not good.

Now Chen Ke is not in Germany, nor is he the famous Dr. Ou Lixi.This special drug is a double-edged sword for Chen Ke, and it must have a partner.

Chen Ke called the young people to the front of the blackboard and began to talk about the cause of the infection of the willow disease.After learning that skin-to-skin contact is enough to catch the disease, all the people attending the lecture changed their faces.As for how to ensure disinfection, that is to change clothes, take a bath, and expose the clothes to the sun.Although he didn't know if the sterilization method he said was correct, but Chen Ke wanted to scare these people home, that's all he said.

Seeing that the young people were anxious, Chen Ke asked them to go back first.Hearing this, the young people ran away as if they had been pardoned.

Hua Xiongmao's expression was also wrong, "Wen Qing, is it really so serious?"

"Definitely not. But when we are conducting experiments, you should not go back. In this way, let's go back first. I have something to say to Sister Qiu. Let's go back and get a change of clothes, and we won't go back to our residence these days gone."

"Okay. I'll listen to Wen Qing."

Qiu Jin and Xu Xilin were not at the residence. Chen Ke asked the maid, Lin Jian, but she didn't know very well.Chen Ke simply went to the meeting place with Hua Xiongmao last time.For a long time in this world, the two of them couldn't remember exactly where they were.Just circling around like headless flies over there, the two of them didn't dare to knock on the door casually to ask, and finally they just came back and packed their things while waiting.

While packing his things, Chen Ke asked, "Zheng Lan, do you think those people are trustworthy?"

"Wen Qing is worried that once the medicine is released, someone will take advantage of it?" Hua Xiongmao laughed.

"indeed so."

"We really have to find a backer. People in the government are absolutely unreliable. People in the rivers and lakes... are also unreliable. If it's really not good..." Hua Xiongmao murmured, "If it's really not good, Wen Qing can't. You have to pretend to be a bachelor. Don’t let them frighten you, you have something to ask of you, as long as the prescription is not leaked, they will not dare to do anything to you. This medicine is a life-saving thing.”

After hearing Hua Xiongmao's words, Chen Ke felt that was the only way to go.After packing up their things, the two confessed to Lin Jian that if Qiu Jin came back, she must wait for Chen Ke to come back at the residence.It's time to go out.

Back at the workshop, You Gou did not come back.Zhou Yuanxiao had already said that he would not return to the workshop until three days later.Since there was no one in the workshop, Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao cleaned the whole workshop thoroughly.When he was in full swing, he heard You Gou shouting excitedly: "Thanks for your hard work, both of you."

After finally waiting for someone, Chen Ke immediately relaxed.

"You Gou, I have something important to discuss!" Chen Ke shouted.

You Gou was dressed up very beautifully, the dyeing was over, she deliberately changed into a brand new royal blue silk dress, You Gou, who usually doesn't wear jewelry, even put a silver hairpin on her head today.

After listening to Chen Ke's talk for a long time, You Gou, who was still smiling, stood up, her face was gloomy, and she looked at the stool with disgust, "I won't be infected?" Her tone sounded cold and scary.

"Certainly not."

"Hmph!" You Gou kicked the stool aside furiously, "If a person sits on the stool, the disaster comes from the sky! Brother Wen Qing, if I get this disease..." At this point, You Gou smirked Bian, his eyes were red, and he was already crying because of grievance.

"Calm down! Calm down! I'm going to make this medicine." Chen Ke knew that if Yougou was a big girl, if she contracted this disease, it would be hard for her to argue.

"I don't want to listen to these nonsense. I, I'll go back now and burn all the clothes I wear." Speaking of this, Yougou of Liushen Wuzhu grabbed Chen Ke's collar, and she choked up and said: " Wen Qing, Wen Qing, won't my family be infected?" At this point, You Gou was scared to tears by his own imagination.

"Oh my god! What kind of shit is this!" Chen Ke had mixed feelings in his heart.Originally, he wanted to research new medicines with Yougou, but he didn't expect Yougou to come out like this.It disrupted Chen Ke's plan.You Gou, a girl who is usually quite confident, was completely confused when this happened. "Women are unreliable!" Even Chen Ke, who has always advocated equality between men and women and respected women, couldn't help complaining in his heart.

But seeing Yougou trembling like a frightened little rabbit, the pear blossoms were raining.Chen Ke had to be patient and appease You Gou first.Exhausting his knowledge of medicine and biological infection, Chen Ke talked endlessly about how safe gaming is. He even explained the human immune system to him, but it didn't make him feel the slightest bit uncomfortable. sense of security.On the contrary, the knowledge that Chen Ke just described was used by You Gou to question Chen Ke indiscriminately.

At the end, Chen Ke simply roared, "I said, you are fine, and your family members will be fine too. Then you must be fine!" This meaningful shout scared You Gou.But this angry shout also stabilized Yougou's spirit.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, why are we going to save him now! This guy is dying soon." Chen Ke continued to roar.

"Ah..., oh, as long as my family is fine." You Gou choked out such a sentence at last.Chen Ke was almost amused again.

Chen Ke asked You Gou to sit down, and You Gou looked at the stool timidly and refused to sit on it, but Chen Ke ignored her and directly pulled a stool and sat down. "First, we will buy materials from Wang Bin. You must not reveal what you are going to do."

After hearing this, You Gou nodded desperately.

"Second, we start making medicine now. You can't leak our medicine."

Yougou still nodded.

"Thirdly, this is money. How much does it have to be? Even if one hundred thousand patients in the world buy this medicine, each person will give you twenty pounds. How much is this?"

"200 million." You Gou calculated the result nervously, but she obviously didn't realize the concept of this money.

"So, boy, come with me to find Wang Bin now." Chen Ke said pretending to be relaxed.

"Huh? Two million? Two million pounds?" You Gou finally understood what Chen Ke meant. "Wen Qing, 200 million pounds!"

"It's definitely impossible to give them all to you!" Chen Ke looked at You Gou's eyes that were almost shining with golden light, and immediately hit him hard.

"I want [-]%! No, half! No, [-]! No, [-]! Thirty thousand pounds is enough." You Gou became confused again.

"You have taken [-] pounds, so you are not afraid that others will kill you?" Chen Ke was amused.

After the emotional ups and downs, You Gou rested for a while before returning to normal.She gathered herself together, "Go to Wang Bin now."

The scientific name of 606 is arsenamin, also known as "Saerfusan", which is an arsenic-containing anti-flower willow drug.It was Ou Lixi and his colleagues, after long-term experimental research.Discovered by Paul Ehrlich's laboratory in 1908, hundreds of newly synthesized organic arsenic compounds were screened, and the 606th compound was finally determined to have anti-flowering willow activity. This is the first chemical modification of the lead compound , an organized and purposeful attempt to achieve optimal biological activity, venereal disease and other spirochetes have specific effects and are relatively safe.

Paul Ou Lixi is to create a precedent for chemotherapy. In 1910, 606 was listed with the trade name salvarsan. This was the first organic compound for the treatment of willow disease, which was a great improvement compared to the inorganic mercury compounds used at that time. In 1912, the new Arsvanamin (also an arsenic compound, 914) with better solubility and easier handling, but less curative effect was launched. The invention of 606 was a major achievement in medicine at that time, and it was later improved to "914" (new arsenophenamine) and sulfur arsphenamine, which were more convenient to use.The latter can be used for intramuscular injection.

Arsphenamine, the predecessor of 606 and 914, is actually very common.The compound was also widely used as an embalming agent in seventeenth-century England, and arsphenamine, infiltrated from ancient cemeteries, is one of the known pollutants in British groundwater supplies in the 21st century.

Wang Bin frowned slightly when he saw the medicine.It's not because Wang Bin has the foresight to predict the future and has any worries about China's environmental protection.He just couldn't figure out why there was such a thing for soaking corpses on the long shopping list.

On the way, Chen Ke had already ordered Yougou not to talk nonsense.So You Gou remained silent.

"Aren't these things easy to handle?" Chen Ke asked.

"It's not difficult to get. I'll give you the things the day after tomorrow. You come first tomorrow, and I'll give you whatever I get." Wang Bin replied.

"Brother Wang will worry about this. I will bring the money over tomorrow."

Back at the workshop, Chen Ke stopped Yougou from asking questions, and he and Hua Xiongmao carried a piece of faded white cloth.Cloth can be considered a market these days.Chen Ke kept dozens of bolts of cloth of various colors in the workshop for his own use.Chen Ke and You Gou sewed the dark blue overalls last time.

"Make ten white lab coats." Chen Ke put down these words and walked away with Hua Xiongmao.

Returning to the residence in the evening, Chen Ke was relieved to hear Qiu Jin talking to Lin Jian as soon as he entered the door.Finally found someone.

"Sister Qiu, I have something to ask."

"What's the matter?"

Chen Ke took out a small bag and pushed it to Qiu Jin across the table.Qiu Jin opened it and saw that it was a pile of silver.She sighed and was about to take off the watch on her wrist.

"Am I such a miser in Sister Qiu's eyes?" Chen Ke laughed.

"Then what is Wenqing doing?"

"I heard that Sister Qiu is going to Japan. I would like to ask Sister Qiu to do something. Mr. Chen Tianhua is also in Japan now. After Sister Qiu goes, I will definitely see him. I want Sister Qiu to invite Mr. Chen Tianhua to come back to China and meet me. On the one hand. The 50 taels of silver are for Mr. Chen Tianhua's tea expenses on the way."

"Oh." Qiu Jin finally understood what Chen Ke meant.

"Mr. Chen Tianhua and I have never lived together. Sister Qiu, you have a great reputation. It is perfect for you to help me contact Mr. Chen Tianhua. Originally, I was supposed to go to Japan with Sister Qiu to visit Mr. Chen Tianhua, but I have something to do here. Definitely not going."

"Ha, Wen Qing has been busy." Qiu Jin smiled.Knowing Chen Ke's intentions, Qiu Jin was a little curious.After these days of contact, Qiu Jin knew that Chen Ke was a person who would not see a rabbit but would not cast an eagle.This is true for Xu Xilin, and it is also true for Tao Chengzhang and Cai Yuanpei.Just relying on the little money he provided, Chen Ke made money in Shanghai with his bare hands.It is true that Chen Ke relied on his own ability, but without the help of so many people, it is absolutely impossible for Chen Ke to achieve where he is today.

Chen Tianhua's "Slam Back" and "The Alarm Bell" are well-known among the revolutionaries.Like Zou Rong who passed away unfortunately, he is a very prestigious figure among the younger generation.Chen Ke has such a great interest in Chen Tianhua, there must be some special reason.

"Wen Qing knows this Mr. Chen Tianhua?"

"I don't know him, I just read his books. I really want to make friends with this Mr. Chen."

"Then why don't you go to Japan with me? Wouldn't it be more sincere for you to meet this Mr. Chen in person. Is Wenqing so busy?"

"In the next month, I don't know how many hours I can sleep." Chen Ke smiled helplessly.There is an article in Chen Ke's English textbook. Dr. Ou Lixi, who studied 606, had to write a letter to himself in order to avoid forgetting his family's birthday, so that he could attend the birthday party on time.Although I have made this medicine, it is a laboratory in the 21st century.In 1905, what kind of "Chen Ke Laboratory" would be built is something beyond imagination.

Qiu Jin knew that Chen Ke didn't like lying. Although he hadn't seen the specific operation of Chen Ke's dyeing cloth, every time he came back, the strong smell of Chen Ke and Hua Xiongmao could prove what they were doing.Since Chen Ke said so, he must be really busy.

"Then I'll help Wenqing with this." After speaking, Qiu Jin put away the money.

When he rushed back to the workshop, You Gou was no longer there.There was a letter on the table, before Chen Ke opened it, he had to arm himself mentally.Even if there is something in the letter that You Gou asks to break up with Chen Ke, Chen Ke can accept it.

The content of the letter really surprised Chen Ke, You Gou didn't complain or anything in the letter.On the contrary, she told Chen Ke clearly that she was going to live in the workshop during the period of treatment.In order to avoid trouble, You Gou will bring a maid to live here with her.This time she went home to convince the family about this matter.So tomorrow she will not come too early, or even impossible.

Chen Ke put down the letter.As expected of a chemistry background, everyone really has the same awareness.There was no one in the workshop, so Chen Ke was about to go back.But there was a sound of pushing the door.The dyeing of the cloth is over, and the gate control is naturally broken. Who is here at night?

As soon as the door opened, Qi Huishen appeared at the door.

"Mr. Wen Qing, I have already met He Zudao. I have been here several times today, but there is no one here. I will send you He Zudao's reply no matter what."

"It's deep, sit down quickly." Chen Ke said hastily.Chen Ke really liked Qi Huishen's earnestness. "The world is only afraid of the word serious. We Communists are the most serious." This clear standard was put forward by that great man.Chen Ke originally liked Qi Huishen, a revolutionary party, and now he even listed Qi Huishen as the number one person to recruit.

Chen Ke was moved by He Zudao's letter, and the child's painful mood was fully revealed between the lines.Being infected with this disease is a disgrace in itself, and He Zudao repeatedly swore in his letter that he had never done any "bad things".And he begged Chen Ke to save himself.He Zudao said that after recovering from the disease, he will follow Chen Ke wholeheartedly, and he is willing to fight for Chen Ke.

"Hui Shen, did you tell He Zudao, I said, never give up on our colleagues."

"Mr. Wen Qing, I went to find He Zudao, but he closed the door and wouldn't let me in. I said this specifically to you. Although He Zudao didn't open the door, I heard him crying inside the room. Wen Mr. Qing, I trust you, please save He Zudao!" Qi Huishen didn't sit down at first, but he bowed deeply when he said this.

Chen Ke hurriedly helped Qi Huishen up, "Huishen, we are all colleagues and friends. There is no reason to wait until death. He Zudao has been with us these days, and he must not have been to any romantic places. I can trust it." his."

"Mr. Wenqing, during your treatment, as long as you have any orders, I will definitely listen to you, and I will do whatever you want."

"Can you do anything?"

"Exactly."

"Well, can you come and live with me during this period? We have to work day and night. The sooner we get this medicine, the sooner He Zudao will be saved."

"I obey Mr. Wen Qing's orders." Qi Huishen replied without hesitation.

"That's good. I have a background in chemistry. I have admired those seniors since I was a child who can stay up all night without repairing or sleeping. I will do it this time, and save He Zudao. Experience the hard work of the seniors. Haha. "Chen Kezhi said confidently.

"Don't work too hard." Qi Hui advised deeply.

"Labor is the most glorious. It will be deep. Labor is the most glorious. Sit there and do nothing, and the sky will drop you a pie? Why do the big powers look down on China, because China has made no contribution to the world, and we can only work and go to work. Create and build a new China, and the world will respect you. Thousands of people like you and me work together, work, and work hard. Only then can a new China come out. You will be deep, do you want to go to the revolution with me? "

"Mr. Wenqing, is this revolution?" Qi Huishen was unwilling to dampen Chen Ke's excitement, but his doubtful tone could not be concealed.

"Hui Shen, the revolution is not for killing people, but for saving people. Revolution is a kind of humanity!" Chen Ke's voice was deep and powerful.

Hearing this, Qi Hui was taken aback.

Chen Ke patted Qi Huishen on the shoulder, "Hui Shen, I'm not a cruel person who is easy to kill. With my ability, I don't say that I am rich, but I have no worries about food and clothing, three wives and four concubines. In the future, I will have children It is not difficult for me to sit and enjoy family happiness in groups. But I love our China, and I love the people of China. China should not be reduced to what it is today. Looking at today's China, I feel worse than death. But what can I do alone, without many comrades, I can't do anything. Revolution with me, will be deep. Let's gather comrades who are willing to revive China, we will not abandon anyone, save the Chinese people, and save the Chinese people. China was rescued from where it is now."

Listening to Chen Ke's words, Qi Hui remained silent.Gradually, Qi Huishen's eyes turned red, "Mr. Wen Qing, you are a real revolutionary."

"Don't flatter me here, tell me quickly, do you want to join?"

Qi Hui wiped his tears deeply, "I will definitely follow Mr. Wen Qing."

"Mr. Wen Qing, you and I are almost a few years old. Since we are comrades, just call me Wen Qing. You should go back to rest and come over at noon tomorrow. The days ahead will be very hard. Let's save He Zudao first."

"Wen Qing, am I also a revolutionary comrade?" Hua Xiongmao interrupted.Watching Chen Ke formally recruit Qi Huishen.Hua Xiongmao felt uncomfortable.

"Zheng Lan, you are naturally a revolutionary comrade. You joined Huishen earlier, and you are still a senior. So please don't show your qualifications here." Chen Ke laughed.Turning back to look at Qi Huishen who was full of tears, Chen Ke slapped Qi Huishen on the shoulder forcefully, "Hui Shen, revolution is not a dinner party, why are you so excited? Starting tomorrow, you should be prepared to die of exhaustion Let's go, let's go back now, don't raise your spirits, where is the strength to work."

Chen Ke dragged Qi Huishen, turned off the lights together with Hua Xiongmao, and left the workshop together after checking everywhere in the courtyard.
