Rebirth of the Cannon Fodder in the Entertainment Circle-Chapter 599: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (13)
Chapter 599: Republic Divorced Wife Cannon Fodder (13)
Under Lu Xun and Yi Ting’s puzzled gazes, Luo Ning took out a box from her bag.
She handed it directly to Lu Xun, "This contains the anti-inflammatory drugs I’ve developed, which are not only highly effective against pneumonia but also excellent for healing inflamed wounds."
"It has already been successfully tested on animals and humans."
"Knowing what I’ve just said, you surely won’t believe me, so I’ve brought the finished product for you to experiment with yourselves."
Her words stunned both Yi Ting and Lu Xun.
What was this situation? She had actually given them the finished product?
The critical issue was whether it was real. Could there really be a medicine that treated both pneumonia and wound inflammation? How could that be possible?
Yi Ting looked incredulously, suddenly feeling that the expert from Xiang Island University seemed unreliable in every aspect, except for her beauty!
Normally, Lu Xun would definitely not believe it either.
But for some reason, facing Luo Ning’s confident and smiling eyes, he felt compelled to take the box, "Alright, we’ll take it to test."
"In that case, come find me after you get the results."
It was still the era of warlord chaos in the Republic, sulfonamides had not yet been developed, let alone what was called Penicillin.
The anti-inflammatory drugs she had created were based on sulfonamides and Penicillin, in line with the technological level of the era, and crucially, producible in mass quantities.
Otherwise, modern drugs like cephalosporins would have much better effects, but with the current level of technology, they could not be researched and produced in mass quantities.
The anti-inflammatory drug she was now presenting should be considered the first case of antibiotics in the history of this Little World.
Therefore, she could not possibly set up a factory to produce it herself; otherwise, it would be a big temptation, not just for domestic powers but also for foreigners looking to take a bite.
Although this Little World was fictional and its historical process was different from the world she had once been in.
However, it also suffered from the invasion of colonial powers, and memories of World War I and II still existed.
So Luo Ning also wanted to do her part and make a contribution to Huaxia.
Although the Lu Family was a major warlord faction, they had done a lot of good deeds for the country and the people, and later fought at the forefront of the resistance.
Unlike the Huo Family, which was more about power and had an ambiguous attitude towards the invaders from Taiyang Country during the later stages, not committing fully to the resistance.
With Old Lu, the Young Commander in the Lu Family, Luo Ning felt reassured in handing over the medicine to them.
Lu Xun carefully held the box in his hands, "Okay!"
Yi Ting looked at his friend as if to say, "You’re acting very oddly today."
To his knowledge, Lu Xun was not the type to easily trust people.
Nonetheless, since Luo Ning had brought out the medicine, they still had to do the experiment.
Though the chance seemed slim.
But what if it really worked?
After escorting Luo Ning to where she was staying, they called over the Yi Family’s pharmaceutical experts.
Because it was the first time they’d heard of such effective anti-inflammatory drugs, they didn’t dare to use them on humans right away.
Instead, they had the experts test it on mice.
The next day, several elderly experts, excited with red eyes, kept pulling Yi Ting, incessantly inquiring about who had developed this drug.
It was the first time Yi Ting had seen these old experts lose their composure, which led him to contemplate a possibility.
"The medicine works?" he asked.
The experts nodded frantically, "It works, it works incredibly well!"
"Not only is it great for treating pneumonia, but it also has a miraculous effect on inflamed wounds; we recommend trying it on humans."
"Should I find a few condemned prisoners to test it on?" Yi Ting couldn’t help but get excited.
Who would have thought it was true? What kind of divine beauty was Luo Ning?
Lu Xun also rarely showed a burst of excitement, "No need to waste the medicine on condemned prisoners. I will have some severely injured and inflamed soldiers brought over later."
Yi Ting frowned, "But what if it has adverse effects when used on soldiers?"
Lu Xun replied, "First, I trust Luo Ning. Since she can produce this kind of medicine, it’s unlikely that she would deceive anyone. They must have gone through clinical trials."
It was just a feeling, Luo Ning wouldn’t cheat him, though he didn’t know why.
He continued, "Secondly, those soldiers with severe and inflamed wounds are on the brink of death. If we try the medicine, they might live; if we don’t, they will surely die."
The soldiers he was preparing to send over all had their death notices signed by the doctors.
He couldn’t possibly joke about human lives, especially when it came to the soldiers under his command.
Since they were on the path to certain death anyway, why not take a chance? There might just be a hope for survival.
Yi Ting thought so too, ’Better to treat a dying horse as one that’s alive,’ at least better than giving up and letting those people wait for death.
"Okay, I’ll arrange for a few ICU rooms. Send the people over."
Lu Xun nodded, "Alright!"
Then, with a sharp glance, he swept over those present, "I hope no one here reveals what has happened."
Otherwise, Luo Ning would be in danger.
Everyone present was trustworthy and understood Lu Xun’s intentions, "Don’t worry, we won’t tell."
After Lu Xun left, he arranged for people to protect the area near the address given by Luo Ning.
That night, several critically wounded soldiers were sent to the ICU.
Under the watchful eyes of Lu Xun and a few others, they were injected with the anti-inflammatory drugs provided by Luo Ning.
Before the results came out, neither Lu Xun nor Yi Ting wanted to leave, so they sat in a rest room and waited.
The next morning, just as dawn broke, the door of the rest room was pushed open.
Several doctors and longstanding experts rushed in excitedly.
"It works, it really works!"
"The results are very good. All five critically wounded soldiers made it through the danger period."
"The condition of four soldiers with inflamed wounds was brought under control. Moreover, the soldier with pneumonia showed signs of recovery, with his cough frequency halved."
"Where did you get this medicine? Who developed it? This person is a genius."
The experts, as if energized, grabbed Yi Ting, looking at him as if he were some kind of treasure.
As for Lu Xun, they didn’t dare to grab him...
Yi Ting got goosebumps from the way those experts were looking at him.
"Ahem, let go first. I’ll go with the Young Commander to fetch the person."
After checking the experimental results, he couldn’t help but feel excited and eager too.
He thought about grabbing Lu Xun too but was deterred by a chilling look from the other man.
When the two of them arrived at Luo Ning’s place, she had just gotten out of bed.
Only she was at home, her sister had gone to the company, Xue Liu had gone to the factory, and the two children had gone to school.
The servant let Lu Xun and his companion in.
After sitting for a moment, they saw Luo Ning descend the stairs in a treasure-blue cheongsam.
The color that would overwhelm most people instead showcased a sense of mature charm on Luo Ning.
Luo Ning sat down opposite them and smiled, starting the conversation, "Did you two get the experimental results?"
Yi Ting looked at Luo Ning, astounded, "How did you know?"
Luo Ning chuckled, "Such an early visit from both of you with such eager expressions must mean you’re not here to make small talk."
Yi Ting found this beautiful woman to be not only capable but also clever and mysterious.
Lu Xun cut to the chase, "The medicine worked well. What do you want?"
He added, "I mean, you’re offering the formula for production, what would you like in return? Anything within my power, I can grant."
With eyes as deep as water, Luo Ning gazed at Lu Xun and parted her lovely red lips gently, "What if I want you?"
