What does magic bullet mean?

"Magic bullet" refers to the chemical with the number 606. 606 for short, sodium hydrogen arsenide.

The "panacea" comes from the text "The Man Who Found the" panacea "in the fifth grade of primary school"-ehrlich and his assistant, in the laboratory, day after day, month after month, kept treating infected mice with various chemicals. Hundreds of drugs have been tried, and thousands of mice have been eaten, but it still has no effect.

In order to speed up the experiment, ehrlich fought day and night in the laboratory, often sleeping on a bench for several nights and using books as pillows.

The experiment is still going on, and they have used more than 600 chemicals for testing. A friend advised ehrlich not to waste time. Ehrlich said firmly: The experiment must continue, and we must find this panacea. Because ehrlich firmly believes that the success of scientific exploration is often based on numerous failures and setbacks.

After unremitting efforts, the No.606 chemical tested by ehrlich and his assistants finally stood the test. Groups of sick rats can recover with a single injection of 6 "606". After many experiments, it has been proved that it can kill infectious bacteria in human body without causing harm to human body.

With the firm belief of saving people's suffering and indomitable courage in scientific experiments, ehrlich finally turned the fantasy of finding a "panacea" into reality.

Extended data

The theme of the panacea-perseverance, firm belief and fear of failure.

Many people always miss out on success because after failing once or even several times, they have doubts about their abilities, lose confidence and go back to the original road. Failure is only defined as failure in life.

On the contrary, failure is the cornerstone of success, which means failure is the mother of success. Success is linked by countless failures.

Success lies in the farthest place in life. Although there are many failures around life, all efforts must start with failures. If a person doesn't realize this, he is a mediocre person.

This is the philosophy of life. If you fail once, tell people that you have passed this place. Don't make the same mistake, you should go another way. After countless changes, the smooth road to success has been paved in front of people.
