Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 238: Biochemist

As Kirsten’s elite team was heading for Oxford, in an idle office at the Dunn School of Pathology, Oxford University, Ernst Chann, the second person in the Florian research team, was staying. Sitting on the bench in the corner, waiting for fate to deal with him. The biochemistry expert no longer has any hope for his future, and he feels that this time he must be finished.

This chemist just passed his thirty-fourth birthday in June. He is in the golden age of his life. He has thick, fluffy black hair and a touch of fashionable under his straight nose. The eight-character Hu, at first glance, seemed to be somewhat similar to the great scientific giant Einstein, so he had a little Einstein nickname early in the morning. In fact, his discipline and Einstein are completely out of line, and the positions of the two sides in the scientific world are even farther apart. If there is any similarity between the two, it is only that he and Einstein are both Jews born in Germany.

Dr. Qian’s father is a Russian Jew. He met his mother in Berlin while studying chemistry in Germany. He soon fell in love and got married. His father simply immigrated and stayed in Germany because of his achievements in chemistry. With the support of the Jewish consortium, their family opened a chemical factory and lived a happy and wealthy life.

It’s a pity that Germany was defeated at the end of World War I. The first to be hit was the German chemical industry. Coupled with the worldwide Great Depression that followed, the Qian En family’s wealth of furniture disappeared overnight, and his father also Therefore, a disease can not be depressed and end up. However, due to the influence of family education, his love for chemistry has penetrated into Qian's blood. He entered the Friedrich Wilhelm University to study chemistry and obtained a doctorate in chemistry when he was 24 years old.

When Hitler came to power, the atmosphere of rejection of Jews in the entire German society became more and more intense, and the highly educated Qian En felt a little nervous about the current state of society. He found that if the situation continues to develop, sooner or later a storm will be set off against all Jews, and no one can guarantee that he will be spared.

For personal safety reasons. At the same time, he also wanted to change to a good living environment. He left Germany to seek a new life in Paris, France. As a result, his knowledge and skills couldn't even eat a bite to eat in Paris. In the end, seeing that he was about to sit and eat, he came to Britain on the advice of his friends to find a way out. It has the best scientific research environment in Europe, and young scientists like him will surely find a place to use it.

Reality always likes to shred young people’s dreams time and time again. When Qian En set foot on the British land, there were only ten pounds left in his body. This young chemist stood on the streets of London without knowing it. Which direction is your future?

Finally, the chemist still knew the truth of self-recommendation. He successively wrote self-recommendation letters to all the scientists he knew in the UK. Ask them to help them gain a foothold in the UK. At that time, the relationship between scientists was very close, especially when they met talented younger generations, the older generations were usually very enthusiastic to help. In the end, after going around in a big circle, Qian was finally valued by Sir Frederick Hopkins, the principal of the William Down School of Biochemistry at Cambridge University. The Nobel Prize winner introduced him to Qian. He took a job that completely changed his life, and went to the Florida Laboratory of Dunn Pathology School at Oxford University as the assistant of the pathologist.

Florida is more like a politician in the scientific world than a scientist. This Australian-born pathologist has been working hard all his life to climb up, but politicians are pursuing power and interest. And what he pursues is the fame and status of the scientific community, scientific research talents are his tools, and scientific achievements are like a stepping stone in his eyes.

Of course, this does not deny his ability in scientific research and development. He has very good social eloquence and keen insight. Flori is also very good at discovering and using talents, and can closely unite a group of scattered researchers, and become a clear division of labor under his organization, a smooth and efficient operation. Scientific research institutions, this has to make people admire its talents, he is absolutely qualified to occupy the most important position in the development of Penicillin.

In fact, before Qian En came to the Flori laboratory, Flori's experimental research was almost paralyzed. In four years, this scientific research institution spent a lot of research funds, but it did not even have a decent result. take it out.

This bleak fact made Flory, who controls the power of Dunn Pathology School, feel heavy pressure. We must know how much he hopes to be able to make some achievements that shock the world, so as to have the opportunity to become the director of pathology at Oxford University. He has been coveting that position for years.

Qian's arrival reopened a window to the laboratory's research dilemma, that is, he first proposed to change the laboratory's research direction. And put the subject of the manufacture and purification of penicillin to Flori. At this time, Ganchai met a raging fire, and both sides met their eyes. Everyone could see how great this work would promote the development of medicine. If they succeed, they will be admired by doctors and patients all over the world.

Qian’s goal at this moment is very simple, because biochemical analysis is what he is best at, and he is quite confident in his abilities. As long as Flory agrees to his suggestion, then a long-term meal The ticket can be considered securely in hand. And Flori was overjoyed at this. A pillow fell from the sky when he was dozing off. He was in need of a solid result that would establish his position in the scientific world. If under his guidance, penicillin that could be used as a medicine was extracted. , This alone is enough to make him enter the ranks of the top medical scientists, and the position of the director of pathology at Oxford must be easily accessible.

At this time, they don't know how difficult the problem they are facing is, how much sweat and hard work they will have to put in to achieve this research. After more than a year of hard work and hundreds of failures, they finally paid off. They finally found a way to effectively extract the active ingredient penicillin from the strain solution. Overjoyed, they worked harder and harder. Even if news of unfavorable British warfare from outside came in, it could not affect the indulge and enthusiasm of these researchers for their work.

After half a year, they finally obtained 100 mg of penicillin crystals. It is a brown-yellow powder that looks like corn flour. Just like in history, they can’t wait to conduct a series of animal experiments, and it turns out that the drug is not toxic. At the same time, it does have a therapeutic effect on purulent bacteria.

Florie wrote a research paper headed by him shortly after the experiment was completed. He also submitted his manuscript to the editor of the famous British medical journal "The Lancet", hoping to make a name for his research results, and to attract the attention of colleagues in the medical field and get their affirmation.

And here, there is a deviation in history. The paper originally scheduled to be published in mid-August was aborted due to a bombing by the Luftwaffe. A German bomb hit the "Lancet". The business printing house, so the Lancet magazine that month can only announce that it temporarily suspends publication.

Just when Flory was considering whether to change to a significant magazine and resubmit. A bad news came suddenly that the German Army broke through the strait defense line and has now landed ashore. Now let alone this little pathology school, the entire University of Oxford is in a mess at the moment.

The bombers of the Luftwaffe had visited Oxford before. They used incendiary bombs to destroy several manors around the school. Several of the scientific research teams that were conducting classified research in the manor were even killed.

But this did not scare the scientists who were full of molecular formulas and equations. Some students were asked to return to their hometowns for safety reasons. However, there are still a large number of professors and graduate students who insisted on staying in the university town. Here are their important subject materials and well-equipped laboratories, unless the Germans throw hand grenades directly into their dinner plates. Otherwise, don't want these science madmen to leave their paradise.

Now that the brutal and barbaric Germans are coming, scientists first consider not their own personal safety, but how to avoid their efforts from being destroyed by those barbarians. Especially for some projects that may be used for military purposes, they don't want their own achievements to be used by their compatriots after being obtained by the enemy.

The various large and small research groups and laboratories are busy frantically. They began to clean up their research data, back up important data, and destroy the parts that might be helpful to the enemy's research. Some valuable research results and materials have been sealed and buried underground, waiting to be discovered again when there is an opportunity in the future. Many scientists began to burn their research data with tears in their eyes. For several days, the city of Oxford University was filled with paper-burning smoke and paper embers.

Flory’s laboratory is of course no exception. Researchers seal a large number of test data records in metal boxes. Buried in the backyard of the school, at the same time the most important information was copied in five copies. Then the five main researchers in the research group will save them separately.

Flory believes that their research has not yet achieved real success, and the Germans should not be interested in such things. The backup is just to prevent accidents, who knows what crazy things the German soldiers will do after seeing the mold in the culture tank.

Immediately that afternoon, the voice of the King of England sounded on the Oxford University campus. With the surrender edict, the frenzy in the university came to an abrupt end, and the campus quickly restored daily order and calm.

Since the war is over, there is no need to worry about the safety of their respective research results. All political issues are left to the cabinet and parliamentarians. As long as a peace agreement is signed in London, the Germans will soon Leave honestly.

The ideas of these scientists were a bit naive. Before they could celebrate, an entire infantry brigade of the German Army slammed into it, occupying the entire Oxford within two hours.

The German side issued a brief statement. Every scientist here is a precious property belonging to all mankind and must not be allowed to receive the slightest harm. Now there is evidence that a group of rogue bandits have sneaked into the university city. Before they are found and hanged one by one, the school will be protected by the German Army. Oxford will be under military control for 24 hours from the time the order is issued. No one is allowed to leave their residence without the permission of the German Army. . At the same time, the German army will be responsible for the living supply of everyone, and the food and drinking water needed every day will be delivered to the door by specialized personnel.

As the saying goes, the German soldiers acted quickly to put a seal on everything they could find. The scientists were forced to leave their beloved laboratory, some were returned to the dormitory, and the other was placed under house arrest by the Germans.

Qian is the part of the house arrest, and now he is full of despair and resentment. Desperately, he believed that the reason why the Germans were under house arrest must be knowing his ancestry. He had obtained some information in Germany from those Jewish organizations and knew how the Germans dealt with Jews, not to mention that he was from Germany. The Jews who escaped to serve the enemy country know how they will end up thinking about it.

It was not the Germans outside the door that made him resent, but his two best colleagues and closest research partners.

Before he was caught by the Germans, he had discovered that the laboratory supervisor Flori and Hitley, who led the cultivation of strains, were missing, and four of the five backup files and Most of the penicillin crystals, of course, there are a few boxes of precious strain samples.

They must have noticed something escaping early. Qian En understands this, but what makes him feel unforgivable is that not only did they not take him to run with him, they didn't even reveal any news to him before.

Obviously he has been abandoned by his colleagues without hesitation~IndoMTL.com~Qian feels that he has been mercilessly betrayed. You must know that Flory is in the laboratory just soliciting sponsorships and gesticulating, Hitt Li is responsible for conditioning the nutrient soup in the jar to cultivate strains, and Qian En is responsible for the most critical task of purifying penicillin. In this experiment, he is the one who contributes the most, and he is also the one who consumes the most effort.

Qian believes that these two people are premeditated. They all know that they are Jewish. If they throw themselves at the disposal of the Germans, who play the most important role in this work, they will be able to hold them grandiosely. No one will know Ernst Qiann as well as the research results and honors. When he rotted in the German concentration camp, these two guys enjoyed the honor and applause abroad with this great achievement. Whenever he thought of this, Qian En felt like a knife and wanted to live.

Today's cough has improved a lot, and the medicine has worked well, but I still have to insist on consolidating, but I dare not repeat it again.
