    After Wang Geng finished writing this proposal to U.S. President Wilson, he encountered another difficulty. Obviously, he could not pass it through the diplomatic channel of Gu Weijun, the minister in the United States. At this time, no matter which country's diplomatic envoy was operating in Washington, he must be a representative  own country's government.

    When diplomats lobby the President of the United States on behalf of their own government, the effect will be greatly reduced. The eyes of the whole world are staring at each other. Any good or bad suggestions must have ulterior motives in front of the domestic and international forces that oppose the United States' participation in the war.  In order to drag the United States into the water, this proposal must not be delivered to Wilson through official or formal channels.

    ??Send a letter directly to President Wilson via the U.S. Postal Service?  It is not advisable that most of them are lost in the tens of thousands of letters from the people sent to the President's Office every day. Time is more precious than anything else.

    Go through the school channel of West Point Military Academy?  During the two years that the original owner, Wang Geng, was at West Point Military Academy, he was really considered a man of the hour, because West Point Military Academy mainly recruits fresh high school graduates. Of course, the age limit is from 17 to 22 years old, and the height must be 1.69 meters.  to 1.98 meters.

    Wang Geng was a government-sponsored international student who was recommended to the United States after graduating from Tsinghua Academy in China in 1911. Before entering West Point, he had already graduated from Princeton University¡¯s Department of Literature with a Bachelor of Arts diploma, so he skipped the second grade directly after entering West Point. Normally, he should have graduated next year.  Also because of the war, the third grade at West Point Military Academy graduated early this year along with the fourth grade.

    In fact, in the previous life, two batches of cadets from West Point Military Academy graduated at the same time in 1917 and 1918. This was because of the war.

    Wang Geng searched the memory of the original owner and could not find a suitable channel or person in West Point Military Academy to deliver this letter of recommendation to him. Although Wang Geng had been an activist in the school advocating that the United States should join the war as soon as possible, yellow foreigners  His status as a cadet makes it easy for others to regard his views as having ulterior motives. What's more, how could the pride and self-esteem of the President of the United States take the advice of a yellow-skinned West Point cadet into consideration?

    Although MacArthur, the little war madman in his previous life, would become the youngest president of West Point Military Academy, that would have to wait until after the end of World War I. In 1919, although Pershing, the future commander of the American Expeditionary Force, would be responsible for leading troops to suppress the Mexican guerrillas this month,  He was promoted directly from captain to brigadier general as if he were taking a helicopter, but the influence of a division commander-level general on the president is basically negligible at this moment.

    The U.S. government and military-industrial enterprises were actually active elements in encouraging the U.S. to join the war, but it was Congress that ultimately made the decision. It was the president who could request Congress to join the war. And the president, in addition to Wilson himself, also had considerable influence on the opinions of his cabinet.  Influence, only that of the military, has been minimal in the cabinet.

    You must bypass diplomats, the military or interest groups and submit your proposal to Wilson's desk from an unexpected channel. Of course, if you have the opportunity to meet this man who is both compassionate and iron-fisted,  If you have a president, that would be great!

    Wang Geng had no idea for a moment, so he simply found an envelope for the proposal and stuffed it away. Seeing that there was no news from Nurse Kaili or the newspapers to be collected, the man stood up and touched the cigarette in his pocket out of habit. He was speechless for a moment.  Wearing a hospital gown, his pockets are empty.

    I walked over and opened the closet. The clothes I wore yesterday when I dived to rescue people had been carefully washed, dried, ironed, and hung neatly in the closet by the hospital. After searching through my memory, I found that the original owner, Wang Geng, had never been there while he was studying.  Don't smoke or drink.

    Damn it, how can I live a life as a special soldier from the Military Region without smoking?  Wang Geng got addicted to cigarettes and wandered around the house. He wanted to go out to buy cigarettes and found that he didn't have any money. His wallet and ID were not under the pillow or in his pocket. Did he lose them when he jumped into the water from the Brooklyn Bridge?  Already?

    At the moment, there was nothing he could think about. He had no choice but to wait for Kelly to come back before asking. Sitting back at the desk, the guy held a cross brand pencil in his hand and recalled every detail of the invention of the killer penicillin.

    Penicillin is actually just a type of antibiotic. It refers to a class of antibiotics that contain penicillane in the molecule extracted from the culture medium of Penicillium, which can destroy the cell wall of bacteria and play a bactericidal effect during the reproduction period of bacterial cells. It is the first  An antibiotic capable of treating human disease.

    Wang Geng thought that the previous life of penicillin was not discovered until 1928 by the British bacteriologist Fleming, and then it was realized around 1941 by Howard Florey, a pathologist at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom, and Qian En, a German biochemist.  Isolated and purified penicillin and discovered its efficacy against infectious diseases. It was a later story that Fleming, Flory, and Chain jointly won the 1945 Nobel Prize!

    What troubles Wang Geng is that in his previous life, this guy was a second-year graduate student in the Military Strategy Department of the Graduate School of the National Defense University, following the Military Exchange Agency.A group came to the United States for an exchange visit. In his previous life, this guy never thought that time travel existed in the world, let alone that he had to go back to 1917 to rediscover penicillin!

    Everyone knows about penicillin, but how to cultivate it and how to get a commission. Even though Wang Geng has always boasted that he is a super ace in the special forces, the Army Command College and the National Defense University, after all, this guy is not a medical student, even though his hobbies are quite wide.  , and his memory is amazing, but he is not so knowledgeable that he can discover and purify penicillin out of thin air!

    This guy could only frown and bite the end of his pencil while trying to recall so many materials and articles he had read in his previous life. Of course he remembered the process of penicillin being discovered in 1928. Fleming was famous for discovering lysozyme and many other things.  Achievement leads to professorship.  As a result, this guy went on vacation as soon as he was happy that he didn't have to clean the culture glassware.

    On September 3, 1928, Fleming returned from vacation and had just entered the laboratory. His former assistant Pulis came to visit and asked Fleming what he had been doing recently during the conversation. So Fleming picked up the first one on the top floor.  When I was about to explain to him a culture medium, I found a pale white patch on the edge of the culture medium caused by bacteriolysis, so penicillin was discovered.

    Wang Geng's memory ability can be said to be second-to-none, no matter in his past life or in this life. For all outstanding students at the genius level in history, the first outstanding thing is their memory ability, and the second most outstanding thing is their logical judgment ability. In his previous life,  After the souls and bodies of the two Wang Geng merged in this life, the effect was 1+1>2.

    Wang Geng racked his brains and couldn't figure out how to purify penicillin. However, he found out how to cultivate penicillin from the article in the corner of his memory. The selection and cultivation of penicillin species is the key.  The yield of penicillin produced by natural Penicillium is very low. The key is to find high-yield Penicillium species from different soils and cultivate them, so that applicable penicillin can be produced on a large scale.

    Thinking of this, Wang Geng chuckled. The matter of breeding high-yielding bacterial strains was naturally left to medical professionals. Ordinary Penicillium species are actually everywhere in life, growing on rotten fruits, vegetables, and even bread.  Green-green bacteria definitely indicate the presence of Penicillium.

    One of the key points in developing penicillin is to directly tell the experts that the penicillin produced by Penicillium is the best antibiotic of this era. The second key point is to tell them that high-yielding strains need to be comprehensively collected from the soil and selectively cultivated.  , and corn is the best medium for large-scale production. The extraction and storage seem to be related to potassium or sodium salt!

    This guy wrote down another piece of paper with the details related to penicillin, and also found an envelope and sealed it. This is a big killer related to the safety of human life, patent application and selection of research institutions and development and production partners.  You have to be extremely cautious no matter what, and you must get it done before you return home!

    Based on the scientific talent pool and medical industry foundation of the United States, if the key points are clarified to them, it is estimated that the first penicillin can be produced in three to six months. The key is to find good partners and agents.

    Given China's current situation, it can only lay eggs by borrowing chickens and laying eggs. The talents, equipment, and instruments will be cultivated and strengthened in the United States first, and then brought back to China for production when the time comes. Wang Geng gradually discovered that according to the current status of science and technology in the era of 1917,  , with China¡¯s weak foundation, it is simply impossible to develop world-leading weapons, equipment or medicines.

    This guy gradually came to the realization that the ideal of unifying the country through Beiyang and defeating the old Maozi and the Japs would probably have to rely on conventional weapons such as aircraft, tanks, and cannons. It was nothing more than taking less detours and striving to achieve the goal.  A complete military industrial system was established.

    When all weapons can be produced by oneself, all raw materials can be developed, refined and produced by oneself, plus oneself have a somewhat unreliable foretelling of history to prepare for a rainy day, plus conspiracies!

    Damn it, I don¡¯t believe we can¡¯t deal with the little devil and the old man!  Wang Geng gritted his teeth and thought to himself!
