Chapter 1588: Chapter 1567: Super Series The most precious thing obtained from Butter Knife was in Gao Yang’s hand. It wasn’t a night vision device, nor a gun sight, but rather the first aid kit he was holding. The medicines and items in the first aid kit were not remarkable, as Gao Yang had seen them frequently. The most crucial were those three spray canisters. What Gao Yang held might be the representative outcome of America’s next-generation battlefield first aid, yes, those three seemingly inconspicuous sprays. What’s the key in battlefield first aid? Battlefield injuries are essentially open wounds from bullet or shrapnel hits, as well as barotrauma and fractures caused by shock waves. Relatively speaking, injuries mainly focus on these few types. Medics on the battlefield have several characteristics in treating the wounded. The primary one is speed, the faster the better. The next is simplicity in method, and of course, the effectiveness of the medicines and equipment used. In movies, you can see medics frantically stopping the bleeding and bandaging wounded soldiers, while a heap of wounded soldiers howl nearby. Once a medic manages to handle one, they can move to the next. How many severely injured soldiers, who could survive if the bleeding was stopped, die in this process? It’s just impossible to count, nor can it be counted. Medics certainly wish to save every wounded soldier, but medics are humans, not gods. They can only rescue as many as possible by working at their fastest, that’s all. But what if medics could significantly shorten the rescue time on the battlefield? For instance, in a major battle, if the time to rescue a wounded soldier could be reduced from ten minutes to five, how many more people could survive? If it could be reduced to one minute, making the speed ten times faster, the significance speaks for itself, right? In 1943, penicillin was first used on the battlefield in World War II. This antibiotic saved countless soldiers’ lives, and the importance of this drug to soldiers, and even to all mankind, can never be overstressed. Now, the question arises: what medicine is Gao Yang holding? What Gao Yang is holding is the crystallization of American pharmaceutical technology, the core item of America’s next-generation battlefield first aid, a revolutionary medicine upending the current state of battlefield first aid. To put it simply, Satan has struck it rich. Why say Satan has struck it rich? It’s because those three spray canisters are remarkable, a demonstration of the U.S. Empire’s power to dominate the world—three aerosol sprays: one for hemostasis, one for inflammation prevention, and one for anesthesia. They look unassuming, sound unassuming, right? But if a wound that requires a hemostatic clamp and tight bandaging can stop bleeding with just a spray, what does that imply? Because of poor medical conditions or the long time to reach a well-equipped hospital, situations arise where surgery is successful but the wound gets infected, necessitating extensive hormone and antibiotic usage to combat the infection, leading to a significant decline in fitness or even death. Now, with just a gentle spray, there’s no worry of wound infection anymore. What does that imply? Anesthesia—currently, the anesthetics used by the U.S. Army on the battlefield is morphine. It has a strong analgesic effect but is highly addictive. Additionally, never underestimate anesthetists; how to anesthetize, the dosage of anesthetic, all constitute a specialized field. So anesthetic control is in the hands of medics, but the effect isn’t particularly strong. Now, with just a spray, pain is significantly reduced—simple, convenient, fast. But that’s not all; it can even allow lightly wounded soldiers to continue fighting. What does that imply? So saying Satan strikes it rich isn’t exaggerated at all with those three spray canisters. Gao Yang’s heart nearly leaped with excitement, and he dared not enter the hospital, only waiting outside for Andy He’s arrival. Andy He was still escorting Cui Bo and the others to the hospital, but he was already near the hospital. When the convoy reached the hospital, Andy He had Albert take over to first get the wounded inside, while he went out to meet the hiding Gao Yang. Fresh chapters posted on NoveIＦire.net “What’s up? What’s the big deal?” Gao Yang, like a thief, took out the first aid kit, glanced around, then whispered: “The aerosol sprays taken from Butter Knife—I checked, and the first aid kit doesn’t contain antibiotics or anesthetics, meaning these three canisters definitely have antibiotic and anesthetic effects!” Andy He’s lips trembled, and he snatched the first aid kit from Gao Yang’s hands, quivering, “No one saw this, right?” “Nate found it! But he thought it was useless. I got it from him—no, I snatched it from him. I fear Angel’s military doctors discovering the benefits of the medicine, so I dare not enter the hospital!” Andy He quivered, “Right, right. Nate doesn’t understand, but their military doctors probably do. We can’t let them discover this. Boss, do you think this is the S-series emergency supplies that Morgan mentioned?” Gao Yang nodded, lowered his voice, “Absolutely! Just think, it’s already beyond the laboratory and early clinical trial stages. Morgan said it’s already in phase four clinical trial, right? If not Butter Knife testing them, then who? Three epoch-making sprays—aren’t these the three? I think it must be!” Last time Gao Yang was injured, it was in Austria when two shots hit his belly. After returning to America and Morgan saw him, he casually said it would be great if they could get the new-generation battlefield first aid medicine being tested by the U.S. Army, so Gao Yang wouldn’t be so endangered. The one who said it had no intention, but the listener did. Though Morgan said it casually, Gao Yang was sure to inquire more. Thus, he learned the U.S. Army had a series of new medicines in the confidential stage, code-named the S-series, in clinical trials. It’s almost impossible to obtain them as it’s in the confidential stage. What is the S series? It’s “super,” it’s “super.” Why does Morgan know about this S series? Because this project is hosted by the Ministry of Defense, and it requires Congressional approval for funding. Thus, some senators know of the project, as well as the general progress, but it’s impossible to obtain. Gao Yang learned about this S series from Morgan, as well as the overall progress. But he thought only when the U.S. Army began large-scale deployment, or at the earliest during small-scale usage, would it be possible to obtain it. Unexpectedly, it was acquired several years earlier than anticipated. Holding the first aid kit like a thief and glancing around cautiously, Andy He quivered, “Struck it rich, struck it rich! We’re saved this time. But Boss, we’ve only heard about it and never used it, don’t know the method, dosage, subsequent reactions or side effects. Can it be used now?” (To be continued.
