Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 28 Homemade Allicin Production: Good News from the Field Hospital!

Dean Li's words left Chu Feng speechless for a moment. Then, he thought of a book he had read before his transmigration, about transmigrating to the Ming Dynasty, where a plot involved using allicin to save wounded soldiers on the battlefield. A thought suddenly struck him.

"Dean Li, I've heard that when garlic is crushed, filtered, and concentrated, the resulting solution can inhibit and kill bacteria."

Dean Li was taken aback upon hearing this, then looked at Chu Feng with some excitement: "Commander Chu, where did you hear this from? Are you sure?"

Dean Li was desperate and grasping at straws. Although he had some doubts about this folk remedy, he still chose to believe in it and wanted to give it a try because he had no other choice.

Even if it ultimately fails, it's still better than doing nothing.

Chu Feng looked at the anxious Dean Li and said, "This is a folk remedy that I heard about by chance."

"At the time, I heard them say to crush purple garlic, soak it in a small amount of high-proof liquor for half an hour, then squeeze it out with clean gauze, and use the juice to clean, apply, or bandage the wound."

At this point, Chu Feng paused and added, "However, it hurt a bit when treating the wound, but I don't know if it's actually effective."

Upon hearing this, Dean Li immediately perked up: "What's there to be afraid of in pain? A little pain is better than watching the wound fester!"

"And now that you mention it, allicin doesn't seem difficult to produce. We can give it a try!"

Dean Li extended an invitation to Chu Feng: "Commander Chu, why don't you come with us? After all, you've heard of us."

Chu Feng thought about it and did not refuse. He currently had a lot of merit points. As long as he could trigger the production of garlic extract, he could level up through merit points and thus gain experience and abilities.

"OK!"

Chu Feng originally came to the field hospital to check on the wounded soldiers of his regiment and, incidentally, to find a group of officers and soldiers who had recovered but were unable to continue fighting, to bring back to the guard regiment and have them take charge of the construction of the breeding farm.

But Chu Feng couldn't ignore this incident.

"Huang Zhenggong, you should take your men and go back first!"

Chu Feng gave a brief instruction to Company Commander Huang Zhenggong, then turned and left with Dean Li.

Garlic is easy to find, and clean containers are readily available in hospitals.

After the first batch of garlic was crushed, it was soaked in high-proof liquor and then the juice was squeezed out.

In the "Professional Skills" section, a new skill option, "Allicin Production (Apprentice): 0/100," has been added.

After acquiring the skill, Chu Feng's heart stirred. He entered the system space, freezing in the real world, and without hesitation, immediately chose to upgrade: "System, upgrade the garlic extract process to the beginner level!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in the study space.

Here, he learned about the industrial and traditional production methods of allicin, as well as the theory and application of allicin.

After an unknown amount of time, he returned to the system space.

"call!"

Letting out a soft breath, Chu Feng was once again amazed by the wonders and effects of merit points. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This is the right way to use cheat codes!"

He couldn't help but feel the knowledge in his mind, and then looked at the attribute panel. Allicin production had reached the initial stage. He smiled, but there was also a hint of regret: "Unfortunately, allicin still has too many limitations and its effect is too weak. It's not as good as penicillin."

"But something is better than nothing."

At this point, looking at the 100 fewer merit points he had accumulated, his mind started working: "The merit points are still too few."

"If I have enough merit points, could I try making penicillin using rudimentary methods?"

"Moreover, it's not just medicine; the arms factory is also a major branch, and you need a huge amount of merit points to unlock it."

"For the Eighth Route Army, which was extremely poor, it could be said that they lacked everything."

"But this is just the beginning. To change more, I need more merit points, and I need to fight more and bigger battles!"

"Isn't the point of having extraordinary abilities to use your own power to bring about more change?"

Feeling a sense of urgency, he turned his gaze away from the attribute panel and, with a thought, exited the system space.

"Dean Li, let's continue!"

Looking at the first batch of garlic extract, he was full of energy, having just mastered a more detailed and professional extraction process and experience.

"good!"

Dean Li was also very much looking forward to it and immediately nodded in agreement.

The group busied themselves again producing the second and third batches of allicin.

Dean Li quickly noticed something was amiss. Watching Chu Feng's skillful movements and meticulous, professional approach, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he exclaimed sincerely, "Commander Chu, your learning ability is incredible!"

"Even as a medical student, I'm not as good as you at manual operations."

Hearing Dean Li's praise, Chu Feng chuckled and said, "Perhaps my talent lies in my strong ability to learn and imitate."

"It's like, Dean Li, you are geniuses, suitable for making breakthroughs from zero to one, while my talent is more suitable for development from one to one hundred."

"I can't innovate; I can only build upon the work of those who came before me."

Chu Feng's analogy was very vivid, and Dean Li understood it immediately. He smiled and said, "You're too modest, Commander Chu."

With the successful production of the second and third batches of allicin.

Dean Li couldn't wait to use it on the wounded.

The irritation from allicin caused the sounds of injured people gasping for air and clenching their teeth to endure the pain to be heard frequently in the hospital.

After using up all three doses of garlic extract, Chu Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dean Li, the effects still need to be observed."

"I have other matters to attend to in my unit. You can send someone to let me know the results."

Upon hearing this, Dean Li immediately replied, "Okay, no problem!"

"Commander Chu, you can go ahead and get busy. Thank you very much. Although I don't know the specific results yet, I'm really looking forward to it."

The field hospital delayed Chu Feng for three or four hours. By the time he returned to the guard regiment with the recovered wounded, it was already four or five in the afternoon.

General Logistics Department!

"Allicin?"

"Was it Chu Feng who proposed this? Did Dean Li agree?"

The news of what happened at the field hospital quickly reached Minister Zhang's ears. He was taken aback at first, but then his expression became serious: "Have someone keep an eye on this matter."

Report any developments immediately!

"If this allicin really works, it will be fantastic news for our Eighth Route Army."

Minister Zhang was very excited and looking forward to it, and quickly elevated the importance of this matter to the highest level.

"This Chu Feng always manages to surprise us!" Minister Zhang Wanhe chuckled and cursed as he watched the official leave after giving his report.

Nothing more was said that night!

The next morning, the liaison officer arranged by Minister Zhang arrived and brought the first batch of necessary intelligence.

Around noon, people from the field hospital arrived.

"Commander, Commander, the field hospital has arrived!" Chu Feng, who was reviewing intelligence, quickly put down his work and came out to greet them.

"Commander Chu!"

Just as he stepped out the door, a doctor from the field hospital excitedly shouted, "Our director asked me to call you to the hospital."

"The allicin is working!!"

"The swelling and redness in the wounds of all the wounded who received the treatment have been controlled. Because it's still early, they need to be observed further, but the hospital director has preliminarily determined that allicin is definitely effective!"
