Black Corporation: Joseon

Episode 1035: That thrilling name….. Electricity. (3)

Other departments and academies of the institute also began to exert themselves in the ‘oriental medicine reversal’ of the Electrical Department.

“Let us also take a look at Tae Sang-tae’s long face!”

It was the honor of a lifetime to be called directly to Hyang and Hyeon to give a lecture, and to have Hyang and Hyeon come and listen to their lectures in person. No, it didn’t end in glory. Recognizing the Hyang and Hyang, especially the Hyang, meant that one’s accomplishments were acknowledged. Immediately, the treatment changed and I was able to receive a much more generous budget.

It was a golden opportunity to gain both fame and practical benefit. And if by any chance I received a research assignment from Hyang, things would change again from then on. If the grade of the task given by the scent was higher than horsemanship, it was worth risking a lifetime for.

“If I solve the task, my name will go down in history!”

The officials who saw these scholars shook their heads.

“No, I don’t understand why you jump into a road that is clearly hell.”

“It’s really hard to understand because they want to get their assignments done on their own…”

“People who study physics can’t figure it out…” ”

If my child says he wants to study physics, I’ll hit him with a stick. I have to break it to stop it…”

* * *

Amidst this craze, a major incident occurred at the medical center.

It was the discovery of ‘cells’. A fierce debate broke out over the existence of these ‘cells’, with opinions divided between the members of the Medical Center and those working on the front lines. Although high-ranking officials who believed that the debate had become so heated that it had deviated from its original purpose gave warnings several times, the debate among lawmakers divided into pros and cons still continued to be heated.

Accordingly, senior members of the Medical Academy and members renowned for their high medical skills joined hands and filed an appeal to the county.

-“….Because of this, the members of the National Assembly have lost their original intention and are only engaged in a war of words, so I believe that Your Majesty has taken care of them.”

Hyeon sighed involuntarily after reading the appeal for life extension.

“Whoa. It’s not an easy task.”

‘why! Why! Why medicine! I’m confident I could talk about steam engines and ships for three days and nights, but I know nothing about medicine!’

Hyun-eun looked at the ministers with his eyes darkened because it was not his field of virtue.

“What do you want me to do?”

“……”

In response to Hyeon’s question, the ministers kept their mouths shut and only bowed their heads.

‘Like the last biography, everything that comes up these days related to physics is full of words that I don’t understand

… ‘

Because of the circumstances, I had no choice but to give a general answer in the end.

“The gods have limited knowledge of medicine, so they cannot judge right from wrong. Therefore, it is considered a priority to call the doctor and listen to his story.”

“I see. Go and call the doctor.”

After a while, the lawmakers who had been called by the prefecture entered the Geunjeongjeon Hall.

“No, I called the royal doctor, but why did the maternal doctors come?”

In response to Hyeon’s question, the Taeui bowed down on the floor and answered right away.

“I heard that your Majesty called the royal doctor because of the cell. This part is controversial even between the royal doctor and the maternal doctor, so I came together. Please forgive the disrespect of the small people.”

“So, you’re saying that medical doctors and fetal doctors are arguing about this cell issue?”

“So it is.”

“Whoa~.”

Hyeon placed his hand on his forehead with a long sigh and immediately gave an order to the lawmakers.

“Okay. Go back.”

The lawmakers quietly bowed to the prefect’s order and left Geunjeongjeon.

“Whoa~.”

Hearing Hyeon’s sigh, Han Myeong-hoe cautiously opened his mouth.

“How about asking His Majesty the Great Emperor for help?”

“To Taesang? Hmm…”

Hyun, who thought for a moment, got up from his seat.

“I think that would be best.”

* * *

Hyang immediately moved after receiving Hyun’s SOS.

Arriving at the medical center, Hyang was guided to the largest lecture room.

‘There are just cells! right! Bang, pound, pound! Situation over! I’d like to do this, but I can’t do it.’

Hyang sat down and looked at the lawmakers and academy students filling the classroom and opened his mouth.

“So… who first claimed that ‘cell’?”

“The little man is coming.”

He hesitated and looked at the front-line lawmakers and asked the question again.

“What is the basis for claiming that it is a cell?”

“Chief people mainly deal with external injuries. When dealing with trauma…”

The congressman’s explanation was summarized as follows.

-I had a question while treating broken and cut wounds.

-I came to think that it would be more accurate to call it something smaller, a bunch of cells, rather than just a lump of flesh or bone.

-To determine whether this idea was valid, a craftsman created a tool and used this tool to confirm the existence of cells.

“Hmm… What is that tool? Can you see it now?”

“Yes! I’ll get it now!”

After a while, Hyang saw the items the congressman brought and asked the congressman.

“Did you name it? What is it?”

“I named it ‘Microscope’ and the frame was taken from a telescope. This is because I thought that the principles of seeing things that are far away up close and seeing things that are small in a big way are similar.”

“I see…”

Hyang asked the doctor, holding a microscope that looked similar to a monocle.

“How do I use it?”

After learning how to use it from the doctor, Hyang held the microscope to his eyes and looked up for a moment.

“Is it because of my presbyopia? I can’t see very well.”

At Hyang’s words, one of the lawmakers stood up and said to Hyang,

“That’s why small people deny cells! The only person who saw cells through the instrument called a microscope was this one, who argued for cells! This cannot be said to be solid evidence!”

Hyang nodded at the opposing member’s argument.

“Your opinion is reasonable.”

At Hyang’s words, the member who first advocated for cells looked very disappointed. That member. Looking at the Hyang, Hyang continued,

“However, Rep. Lee’s argument also makes sense, and the process of proving it is also reasonable. However, there was no evidence that could convince everyone. I think this is definitely due to the poor performance of the tool. First of all, the performance of this microscope must be improved. That way, you’ll be able to tell whether it’s your illusion or whether those opposing you have weak eyesight, right? What do you think?”

“I think it’s the best!”

All the members present agreed with Hyang’s proposal. Hyang stood up from his seat and ordered the eunuch.

“Bring Da Vinci to Sugang Palace.”

“Yes. “Your Majesty.”

One of the council members asked Hyang a question as he was about to leave after making an inconclusive conclusion.

“With all due respect, what do you think about cells?”

“I won’t answer until a better microscope comes out. Yes.”

* * *

When Hyang arrived at Sugang Palace, Da Vinci, who had received the message and had been waiting, rushed over and paid his respects.

“Have you invited Your Majesty?”

“Ah, I have a request for you to produce.”

Da Vinci responded to Hyang’s order. His eyes began to sparkle.

“Just give the order!”

“Follow me in.”

After receiving the outline of the microscope and the required performance from Hyang, da Vinci was confined to Area 51 and focused on manufacturing. After almost two months, he was not satisfied. Da Vinci, who produced a satisfactory result, reported it to Hyang.

“I have completed the performance that your Majesty requested.”

“But why didn’t you bring it?”

“To make it more beautiful…..”

“Bring it to me right away.” !”

“……Yes.”

After receiving the microscope from Da Vinci, Hyang headed to the medical center with it.

And the ‘existence of cells’ was acknowledged.

“Your argument was correct. Congratulations.”

“I am devastated!”

The congressman who advocated the cell theory under Hyang’s reign expressed his gratitude with a face filled with tears. Returning to the Sugang Palace, Hyang muttered softly.

“The discovery of cells is important, but even more so. The important thing is that a usable microscope has been released. How many people would just leave that alone?”

And the trend went as Hyang had predicted. As the concept of cells and the existence of microscopes became known, many departments began to introduce and use them. However, the department that would use them most actively was, of course, It was a medical center.

It was a microscope with better performance than the magnifying glasses that had been used. The doctors made all kinds of specimens and observed them. Thanks to this, there was a rumor that all the meat in the meat barns around the medical center had run out.

Such enthusiastic observation . As this continued, more and more medical knowledge began to accumulate. But the most groundbreaking among them was the ‘discovery of capillaries.’ With the discovery of these capillaries, Galen’s blood theory, which had been considered certain, collapsed. * *

The medical department that developed visibly after the establishment of the Medical Academy was surgery. At the same time, the most unconventional medical department that deviated from the tradition was the Department of Medicine. This was because the level of anatomical knowledge was very low in traditional Oriental medicine.

Therefore, incense was widely used in Byzantine and Islamic countries. Medical books were brought in, and surgeons unexpectedly had to learn Latin. As a result, surgery came to follow Western systems and theories rather than Oriental medicine systems and theories.

However, this did not mean that they were followed unconditionally. It served as a kind of regional emergency trauma center. While treating many trauma patients through a military clinic, he discovered the gap between theory and reality and accumulated knowledge to find a solution. As the microscope was added to this accumulated experience and knowledge, Galen’s blood theory, which had been considered an immutable truth for a long time, was finally established. It had collapsed.

As the discovery and activity of capillaries became known, the division of roles between Artery and Jeongbaek, whose roles had been ambiguous until now, became clear. One of the difficult problems in Daejeonrok’s Ugong-i-san level was solved.

Hyang confirmed the report on this. I suggested to Hyeon,

“Since this is related to human life, I think it would be good to publicize it widely. Bio asks the emperor for permission to spread the word about it.”

Hyeon immediately nodded to Hyang’s petition.

“Sometimes, publicizing something more than hiding it can make it more valuable. All right. I will accept Tae Sang-tae’s request.”

Soon, according to the order of the county, the articles translated into Chinese characters, Latin, and Arabic were loaded onto ships and headed to the Ming, Japan, the Middle East, and Europe. The doctors and scholars who accepted the articles were shocked.

“Galen’s theory . This is wrong? What is the basis?”

After checking the paper, the scholars ran to the nearby Imperial Chamber of Commerce and placed an order.

“Get me a microscope!”

“Get me the imperial medical books! The most recent one! Everything!”

The scholars’ orders made the imperial merchants look perplexed.

“There is no big problem with the microscope since it is an item not used in the military…”

“The medical book is the problem.”

“It is prohibited to take it out of the country. It’s not, but…huu~”

The imperial merchants who were talking sighed.

“It’s extremely expensive and extremely abundant.”
