Chapter 840 Effect
Time passed quickly while I was immersed in research. At least in Zhou Tian’s impression, it was just yesterday, but before he knew it, it was already the end of May.
In the past few months, the Fifth Academy has made repeated breakthroughs in missile technology, especially in underwater missiles and long-range missiles, which have undergone earth-shaking changes time and time again.
First, the Longteng-1 submarine-launched cruise missile was successfully launched, greatly increasing China's deterrence in the near seas. Then, the missile range of the nuclear bomb directly broke through to an astonishing distance.
Coupled with the subsequent success of the Longteng II and Longteng III submarine-launched cruise missiles, China's war potential has been elevated to a new level.
Second, it is about the satellite plan, which is also the focus of Zhou Tian and Dean Wang.
At the beginning, they were planning to send some information from Big Brother and Bald Eagle, but both Zhou Tian and Chang Weijun refused. The reason for their refusal was very simple, that is, they planned to research their own satellite launch technology from scratch.
You know, even in previous lives, satellite launch technology was a cutting-edge technology, especially in aerospace. Having your own technology means owning the entire future of space.
They don't want to follow the old path of other countries because of other influences, especially Zhou Tian and Chang Weijun, who have the help of the virtual space in his mind. Although they are starting from scratch, their progress is not slow.
From the design of the rocket to the design of the satellite, it can be said that the two of them spent a lot of effort, especially in the design aspect, which not only made them exhausted, but even when discussing it, they had to consider various domestic situations.
Fortunately, everything was worth it. It was not until a month ago that the two of them, together with Professor Liu, finally finalized the appearance and various structures of the rocket, especially the engine, for which they had specifically selected an engine from the Red Star Research Institute.
Of course, although on the surface Zhou Tian has been busy with satellites and rockets during this period, the progress on elixirs is also improving at an astonishing speed.
The first thing to do was to set up a pharmaceutical research institute, which was built very quickly under all the green lights. Not only was it completed as before, but at the same time, the instruments he ordered from the Red Star Machinery Factory were also moved into the institute as soon as possible.
At the same time, Chinese medicine practitioners from various military hospitals were secretly transferred to the Fifth Research Institute to become his assistants, and at his request, a number of Taoist books containing records on alchemy were sent to him.
With the assistance of so many professionals, Zhou Tian's progress on elixirs will naturally not be slow. Although he has not yet developed an elixir that can meet his ideal, at least after analyzing the efficacy of the medicinal materials of the elixir, he still used a lot of aged medicinal materials to formulate a new medicine.
The new medicine was not in the form of a pill, but more like an oral liquid. Although its efficacy was not as good as the pills he made himself, it was at least one tenth of the pills' efficacy.
As soon as this drug was developed, it was kept secret by the higher-ups and no one was allowed to disclose it.
And it was directly named as "Life Potion No. 1!"
With the appearance of No. 1, Zhou Tian asked all the staff in the institute to continue researching No. 2, while he secretly made new improvements to the original pill.
In the past few months, although he did not develop a pill that surpassed the one he had originally refined, he did make new gains as his understanding of the original pill became deeper and deeper.
He discovered that elixir, to put it simply, is the process of extracting something beneficial to the human body from medicinal materials and then magically integrating them to achieve a certain effect.
Although it sounds simple, the difficulty is beyond his imagination. He had an idea five months ago, but he didn't expect that five months later, no, if the time in space is included, he has even been researching for almost five years, but there is still not much progress.
Only recently has he made some new breakthroughs.
That day, he had just come out of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute when he saw Dean Wang standing outside the door, pacing with an uneasy look on his face. When he saw Zhou Tian's time, he immediately came over to greet him.
"Xiaotian, you finally came out. How is your drug research going?"
Since Life No. 1 was developed last month, the confidentiality of the entire Fifth Research Institute has been raised to a higher level. Now, except for Zhou Tian and some traditional Chinese medicine practitioners from various military commands, no one else can enter the Pharmaceutical Research Institute.
For the safety of the institute, the higher-ups even allow the killing of anyone who does something unauthorized, even Dean Wang is no exception.
"Fortunately, Dean, everything is progressing at a rapid pace!"
Zhou Tian rubbed his eyebrows and couldn't help but smile.
"Dean, you are in such a hurry to find me, has something happened?"
"Xiaotian, it's like this. The wind direction is a bit wrong recently. I want to tell you that you must be careful recently. Also, didn't I hear that your two sons have graduated from secondary technical school? Do you want me to use my connections to get them into our Fifth Research Institute?"
Dean Wang spoke immediately when he heard Zhou Tian’s question.
"The wind is blowing in the wrong direction?"
Zhou Tian didn't pay attention to Dean Wang's words at first. After all, he already knew what would happen next, and the wind was naturally blowing in the wrong direction. But now when he heard that the dean was going to use his connections to get his two sons into the Fifth Research Institute, he was shocked at first, and then shook his head.
"Dean, you don't have to worry about this matter. I'll do it myself. Besides, the two boys in my family have their own ideas. I don't want to influence their wishes!"
Are you kidding? He knew that the storm was going to blow, so how could he let the dean make such a mistake? Even though this mistake was insignificant, it was not a big deal for Dean Wang.
But when the wind really starts, if the higher-ups get serious about it, this can become a handle that they can use against them.
Dean Wang has always been very good to him, and he doesn't want to replace him with someone he doesn't get along with to take charge of the Fifth Research Institute. He is afraid that there will be a lot of trouble by then.
"You really don't need my help?"
Seeing Zhou Tian’s refusal, Dean Wang couldn’t help but ask uncertainly.
"Really, no need, Dean. I'll first see where the two little guys will be assigned to. If they are not satisfied, I will take action. If even I can't handle it by then, I will ask you to help again!"
He knew that because of the elixir research, Dean Wang had been asked to take care of his logistics, but in this regard, he still hoped not to give others a handle.
"Okay, since you said so, I won't care. Xiaotian, according to your estimate, how long will it take to develop Life No. 2?"
The effect of Life No. 1 has been demonstrated in this month. Through specific experiments, as long as it is combined with the military's training methods, the physical fitness of each soldier participating in the experiment has improved by one third in this month.
