Chapter 808: Pill Research and Analysis
He is not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not have accepted Zhou Tian's suggestion to crack the formula ingredients of Western medicine and give up practicing medicine to become the leader of a project in the genetic field. He is also not a person who refuses to listen to advice, since Zhou Tian mentioned the effects of Red Star No. 1 and No. 2 paints.
Then he didn't think that traditional Chinese medicine was not even as good as paint in its effect on the body. In fact, medicines for improving human immunity were common in ancient times, but these elixirs were later labeled as feudal remnants and gradually disappeared in the tradition.
Although it is said that his ancestors had inherited the tradition of imperial physicians, after all, after so many years of suppression, many traditions of traditional Chinese medicine have disappeared in the long river of history. It is normal that many prescriptions and elixirs have been lost when it was passed down to his generation.
But after all, he had been practicing medicine for so many years and had acquired many Chinese medical books. Naturally, he had seen many prescriptions passed down from history, but he had also seen a few that truly met the requirements of President Zhou.
But as for what the effect would be, he really didn't know. Now that the dean was interested, he didn't mind handing it over. Especially since many of the medicinal materials in these recipes were extremely precious, and they were not something that a small project leader like him could afford.
After thinking about it, he looked at Zhou Tian and said, "Dean, I have seen a few recipes that meet your requirements in some Chinese medicine books I bought before, but because the medicinal materials are relatively precious, I have not tried them. How about I write them out for you and you can find someone to try. Of course, if you are willing, you can also let me refine them after finding the medicinal materials!"
Zhou Tian heard that it was all right, and he even welcomed it. What was his purpose in calling Zhang Guangyue to the Fifth Research Institute? Wasn't it exactly this purpose?
Although he could also simulate it in the virtual space of his mind, after all, with a ready-made recipe, he would naturally prefer to experiment rather than innovate on his own.
Perhaps in industrial machinery or other industries, innovation is an extremely cost-effective industry, but in the traditional Chinese medicine industry, the energy and time required for innovation cannot be achieved in just a few years.
After getting Zhang Guangyue's recipe, Zhou Tian achieved his goal. The two exchanged ideas on medical skills for a while, and then Zhang Guangyue got up and said goodbye and left the Fifth Research Institute.
After seeing Zhang Guangyue off, Zhou Tian picked up the pill recipe he left behind and began to read it. When he looked through the herbs needed in the recipe, he couldn't help but gasp.
The hundred-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum together require a total of thirty-two kinds of precious medicinal materials. The other medicinal materials are easy to deal with, but the hundred-year-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are simply too much for him to handle.
No wonder Zhang Guangyue said that he had never refined the elixir here. This is not refining elixir at all, this is simply burning money. Not to mention other things, just the price of a hundred-year-old ginseng in this era, don't even think about buying it without a thousand yuan. And this is still having acquaintances, or going to the Northeast to buy it and find bargains.
If you go to a drugstore, it's basically impossible to buy it without three or four thousand dollars.
What's more, there are relatively precious medicinal materials such as century-old Ganoderma lucidum, Dendrobium, etc. The cost of refining just one of the pills is no less than three thousand yuan.
Fortunately, this was nothing for Zhou Tian, who had a space. After all, he already had a lot of medicinal herbs in his space, including at least tens of thousands of thousand-year-old ginseng, not to mention Ganoderma lucidum and some common precious medicinal herbs.
Basically, there are very few that are hundreds of years old. Most of them are more than a thousand years old. Those that are hundreds of years old are newly planted medicinal herbs.
What he lacked was the recipe for the elixir. Now that he had it, he was naturally impatient. However, seeing that it was already noon, he could only suppress the urge in his heart for the time being.
At noon, after having a meal in the cafeteria, he returned to the office impatiently.
He locked the door tightly and disappeared on the spot.
In the space, as ripples appeared in the space, Zhou Tian appeared out of thin air in the sky, looking at the paradise below with birds singing and flowers blooming. His figure flashed in an instant, and he appeared in front of the thatched hut as if teleporting.
Holding the prescription written by Zhang Guangyue in his hand, he took another look at it, memorized the steps, and had an idea.
The dried medicinal herbs flew out from the warehouse in an instant. Under his spiritual sense, they turned into powder one by one. A stream of spiritual spring water floated over from afar and mixed with the medicinal herbs.
Under his high temperature control, the impurities in the medicinal materials were constantly removed, decomposed, and fused, and gradually a pill about the size of a fist was formed in the air.
At this point, Zhou Tian's spiritual consciousness shook again, and the fist-sized pill was instantly divided into particles the size of his little finger by his spiritual consciousness, and now there are a total of one hundred pills.
Then, a fragrance suddenly wafted through the air, and the more than one hundred pills condensed into particles, floating quietly in the air.
Seeing that the pill had taken shape, Zhou Tian didn't waste any words. He turned around and took out a gourd from the thatched hut. He opened the gourd and saw that the pills seemed to have eyes. They immediately flew into the gourd and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After putting all the pills in the air into the gourd, he felt a slight dizziness in his mind. He shook his head, flashed to the spiritual spring water, bent down and took a sip. Instantly, a cool feeling arose, and the dizziness in his mind was relieved a little.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, and in a flash he brought the gourd to the virtual space in his mind.
Now that he has refined one of the pill recipes, he naturally wants to test the ingredients in the pill to see if the medicinal effects are as powerful as recorded and to what extent they can enhance the body.
If it can really achieve a certain effect, it means that everything he has done is worth it, but if it is not satisfactory, he will naturally need to continue to collect the formulas of other elixirs.
The genetic field laboratory is more advanced than the laboratory open to Zhang Guangyue. The laboratory is filled with various experimental instruments that seem to be from the future. Unlike several other project laboratories, the genetic field laboratory is not one that can be said to be ahead of the world by more than ten years. Of course, the same is true for Zhang Guangyue's laboratory. Although it does not reach the level of Zhou Tian's laboratory, it is much more advanced than several other field laboratories.
After all, in the field of genetics, without instruments that are hundreds of years older, it would be impossible to research anything in the concept of genetics!
The operation of artificial intelligence is full of a sense of future technology here. It is even more advanced than the high-tech laboratories he has seen in his previous life. The only pity is that the experiments here can only be carried out in the genetic field.
Zhou Tian came to an artificial intelligence experimental testing instrument. He took out a pill from the gourd and placed it directly on the instrument. As an ultraviolet light swept over, a mechanical sound rang in his ears.
"Unknown elixir: After testing, the quality of the elixir is B. Its efficacy can double the strength and endurance of the human body. After training, it can improve the human body's fitness by up to two times. The ingredients are 100-year-old ginseng and 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum..."
