Chapter 378 Have you ever taken a sugar pill?
Bang bang bang~~
Outside the classified workshop, Tie Jun wielded a hammer that Jiang Xia had specially disinfected with alcohol, easily breaking the fossil into small pieces. After just a few taps, Tie Jun threw the hammer away and ran off to some secluded spot.
Just as Jiang Xia was about to take over, a rough, large hand snatched the sledgehammer from the side.
"Is this useful?"
"Hmm! Look, those two are much better after drinking this stuff. Even if it doesn't work, it won't harm anyone..."
Yang Youning swung his heavy iron hammer silently, striking again and again.
If you get sick from eating it, it's on me!
……
Jiang Xia threw the broken pieces of fossil into the juicer for further crushing. He originally wanted to pick out the bone fragments, but looking at the pregnant women, he stuffed them in anyway.
"There aren't any calcium supplements these days, so these bone tablets are just to give everyone some nutrition. I even gnawed on two ribs myself, and I'm fine," Little Dumb Hair muttered to himself.
It seems there's really nothing wrong with it; calcium carbonate is actually more reliable than bone broth.
To adjust the flavor, Jiang Xia added some honey, which was a gift from the villagers of Shangwa Village back when they were digging a well in the commune. He'd completely forgotten about it after putting it in his spatial storage, only rediscovering it a couple of days ago while organizing the blueprints.
With the help of a centrifuge, the montmorillonite suspension made its grand debut. The female workers, temporarily housed in the classified workshop, were the first to enjoy this special medicine.
Well, it wasn't exactly being the first. Anyway, before distributing the medicine, Yang Youning gulped down several large bottles of it.
"You all wait half an hour before you drink! I'm a Party member, I'll go first!"
Well, anyway, montmorillonite is considered a relatively human-friendly mineral supplement. Taking a little bit shouldn't be a problem.
What are its side effects again?
Jiang Xia thought for a long time but still couldn't remember...
Actually, it didn't take half an hour. You have to admit that the workers trusted Jiang Xia a lot. Even though they watched him grind that pile of strange stones into powder and make them drink it, they didn't say a word against it.
Instead, he joked that the stuff was sweet and that he wanted to drink a couple more bottles.
"Alright then." Jiang Xia didn't know the correct dosage either, so he simply gave each of them about half a bottle more.
Next, the medicine was distributed in the main square.
Everything went smoothly.
Even the group of nurses didn't stop Jiang Xia from distributing the medicine; instead, they started studying the turbid liquid.
Upon hearing that Jiangxia was made from dragon bone powder, some of the older doctors nodded in agreement and began explaining the medicinal effects of dragon bone to the crowd.
"This dragon bone is a good medicine; it can calm the nerves, soothe the nerves, and astringe and solidify. The things passed down from our ancestors still have their reasons..."
Well, by sheer luck, these doctors ended up taking the medicine that Jiang Xia had concocted as an "ancient prescription."
In light of the recent "remedy donation campaign," they simply believed that this was just another folk remedy compiled by Jiangxia.
It has to be said that in the early days of the People's Republic of China, everyone's style of doing things had a wild and adventurous spirit. Otherwise, the doctor who is talking to Jiang Xia now wouldn't have done something that outsiders would consider immoral, like having his own baby test drugs. Yes, the doctor who is talking to Jiang Xia now is our Grandpa Fangzhou. Although he is still in his prime, Xiao Dai Mao recognized him at a glance.
Sacrificing his own young for the sake of others' young—this is not cruelty, but the great benevolence of a healer. He came for a great cause and left after accomplishing it; his achievements are condensed into a single sugar pill, a panacea for healing, and a testament to his unwavering compassion. The citation for the "Touching China" award 19 years ago is the best testament to this elderly man.
Grandpa, I've taken your sugar pills before!
No, I can't call him Grandpa now, people are calling me Comrade! The little goofball's head is spinning again. How fortunate to be able to walk alongside these heroes…
"Comrade, I don't think the main component of this stuff is dragon bone," Dr. Fangzhou asked, looking at the suspension that had settled in his hand.
"Fangzhou, Comrade Fangzhou, of course not, the one that actually works inside is this..."
Jiang Xia took out the remaining small piece of montmorillonite and handed it over.
"Nonsense!" Dr. Fangzhou looked around and then lowered his voice: "Isn't this Guanyin clay? Comrade, you may not know, but when edema is severe, how many people eat this stuff and their stomachs swell up like balloons!"
“Wait, that’s not right.” Dr. Fangzhou rested his chin on his hand. “Kaloulite can’t be digested because it’s not easily excreted, and diarrhea is exactly what it is…”
"Hiss... This formula might actually work. However, we still need to analyze the specific principles behind it."
"It's alright, take your time to analyze it." Jiang Xia smiled. See, this is the benefit of dealing with capable people; they can fill in the gaps in your understanding of why it works.
If Jiang Xia had to explain, this guy, who only has a superficial understanding of medicinal minerals, would probably have to invoke the name of our ancestor who "tasted hundreds of herbs."
"Yes! This is perfect for sampling and research. You know, there's a type of epidemic where the hardest part is stopping the diarrhea. If this medicine really works..."
Dr. Fangzhou became excited: "Comrade! Although it may be presumptuous of you, could you please tell us the specific method for making this medicine?"
"Don't worry, I will absolutely not embezzle your contribution. I will report this prescription truthfully!"
"It's nothing, it's very simple. Just crush the fossils and spin them in a centrifuge..."
"What's a centrifuge? I recently read a paper that described a continuous flow blood cell separator. If our station had one, we could separate cells and all that..."
"I'll take you to see it. The principles behind separators are all pretty much the same..."
When Teacher Fangzhou heard that there were similar machines in the steel rolling mill, his eyes lit up. He unconsciously followed Jiang Xia's footsteps.
"Oh dear, no, no. I can't go now. The stool samples from the patients here haven't been collected yet. We still need to find the cause of such a large-scale outbreak of diarrhea. Comrade, may I visit you again next time?"
"Always waiting!"
Well, our Dr. Ark's noble professional ethics saved him from some unnecessary trouble.
Having regained his composure, Secretary Liu pulled out a thick manual, preparing to give him a training session in advance.
"The lab report is out! Which one of you is Dr. Ark? Please come and receive the report!"
Old Wang hurriedly drove back in his jeep, waving the report in his hand as he began searching for people.
Salmonella! Paratyphoid fever!
"Huh, that's strange, we didn't find this kind of bacteria in the ice cream."
“This kind of bacteria is most likely to be produced in animals…” Dr. Fangzhou paused, then looked at the bigwigs in the factory.
"Boss, where do you source your meat from?"
shuh...
All eyes were on Li Huaide.
Yang Youning clenched his fist, which was as big as a clay pot, with an even more unfriendly expression.
Li Huaide was starting to panic. It turned out that the problem really was the pork he had purchased.
“I purchased it from a department store! It’s a legitimate purchase! The invoice is still with the purchasing department!” Li Huaide immediately calmed down when everyone brought up the issue of the source of the goods.
He's been busy with important matters lately, and the small profits from purchasing groceries are no longer of any interest to him. Besides, he now has a close relationship with Manager Wang of the department store; why would he need to tamper with such a trivial matter as procurement?
Amidst the murmurs of the crowd,
Old Wang patted Liu Hongjun beside him and pointed to Jiangxia. After Hongjun nodded in understanding, Old Wang and a few others disappeared into the crowd.
"Look, look! This is the purchase list and the department store receipts. I didn't just make things up!" Just as Li Huaide was passing around the relevant documents from the purchasing department.
The lights in Jiang Xia's office suddenly went out, followed by a few muffled groans, and then the lights were turned back on...
