Luo Ji didn't know that while he was concentrating on researching how to suppress drugs, two enemies from different forces were slowly getting closer to each other at this moment. When the fish were dead and the net was broken, it would be a shocking day!

"No, how to make this?!"

In the research room, in front of Luo Ji were glass bottles containing medicinal powders one after another, with their respective names labeled on them - Hercules, Licorice, Burdock, Polygonatum...

At a glance, the number of various bottles and jars has reached hundreds. Their pharmacological effects are different. Some are to nourish the kidneys, some are to remove dampness, and some are to remove liver fire. There are many differences among these medicines.

I'm afraid there is only one thing they have in common, and that is common -

For example, licorice is drought-tolerant, cold-resistant, and light-loving. It is not only widely used in traditional Chinese medicine, but also widely used in medicine, seasonings, foods, and chemical raw materials.

In recent years, the country has launched a wild Chinese herbal medicine protection plan, so all wild medicinal materials are treasures in the market, and licorice is no exception. Fortunately, artificial planting can supplement this gap. Licorice is harvested after 2 to 3 years of growth, and the yield per mu is

600 to 800 kilograms, 3 to 4 kilograms of seeds per mu.

Because licorice can not only be used in pharmacological treatment of diseases, but also has a wide range of uses, the scale of artificial breeding will also be relatively large.

Among the prescriptions provided by Luo Ji before, there was actually no traditional Chinese medicine that could be almost used as a medicine. Otherwise, a huge city like Longcheng would not have enough reserves for more than a thousand people.

.

But that's because time was tight before, and Logic didn't have time to experiment and switch them one by one. But now, most of the hundreds of medicinal materials he uses can not only be used to treat diseases, but also to cure diseases.

For disease-free self-defense, if the raw materials used in some medicines are used, the scale of planting will naturally be larger.

However, if knowledgeable people were to stand here, they would probably be confused. After all, the types of these drugs are complex, and there is no overlap in their scope of efficacy, unless it is a patient suffering from AIDS.

Such patients have extremely low body immunity and various complications occur at the same time, so they need so many drugs to act at the same time.

Doesn’t Luo Ji understand this matter?

Just like the pharmaceutical method in modern medicine, the components of a drug often do not come from medicinal materials. The corresponding elements are extracted from food, drinks, and even some minerals, and after extraction and combination, they achieve the desired effect.

Therapeutic effect.

The benefits of this are extremely obvious. For the industrial production process, raw materials do not need to be limited to a limited resource. Instead, the elements you need can be extracted from different materials. This is undoubtedly a factor for the production efficiency of the production line.

Big improvement.

As long as the production process complies with safety regulations, apart from the fact that the medicines produced have no soul, the ability to treat diseases will not be lost.

If Luo Ji wants to produce large quantities of preventive drugs in a short period of time, then mass production is undoubtedly the most important. This is actually a big restriction. After all, Chinese medicinal materials are important in various fields.

In fact, the required share will not be too large.

For example, the fleshy root of ginseng is a well-known strong tonic. It is suitable for regulating blood pressure, restoring heart function, neurasthenia and physical weakness. It also has expectorant, stomachic, diuretic, stimulant and other effects.

The price of this kind of tonic is naturally extremely expensive, and not ordinary families can afford it. If someone needs it, some old Chinese medicine doctors will often recommend a similar medicine - Panax notoginseng.

It is recorded in the Qing Dynasty pharmaceutical work "Compendium of Materia Medica Supplement": "Ginseng is the first to nourish qi, and Panax notoginseng is the first to nourish blood. They have the same taste but equal potency, so they are called ginseng and Panax notoginseng, and they are the most precious among traditional Chinese medicines."

Even some of the more common artificially cultured ginseng is worth 300 to 500 yuan per pound, but if it is Panax notoginseng, the price will drop to about 200 yuan. For those who need to take medicine for a long time,

Speaking of which, this will undoubtedly greatly reduce its financial burden.

And from the perspective of drug reserves, the reserves of Panax notoginseng are naturally much greater than those of ginseng.

However, if you are taking it alone or need one or two of the effects, crude substitution is acceptable, but like Luo Ji, you need to use specific factors in the drug to achieve the desired effect.

, when paired with each other, it becomes more difficult to reconcile them.

After all, even if you have made ninety-nine combinations before, when you get to the last dose of medicinal ingredients, even if you just add more or less ingredients, it may lead to different changes in the properties of the medicine, and most of these changes may be malignant mutations.

But for Luo Ji, this is not the biggest difficulty. What makes him most distressed is that he does not have a real living sample.

Based on the medical books in his mind, he can still tell whether the medicine he made is beneficial or harmful.

But if you want to refine it into what role it plays, it becomes a bit difficult for Luo Ji. After all, he still doesn't know whether the unknown substance plays a supporting role or is a direct factor.

The difference between them is quite different.

If he wanted to do it roughly across the board, he could do it, but the medicine made in that way would have too much of an overdraft effect on the human body. After taking the medicine, he might not be able to lie down flat, and he would feel nauseous and dizzy for a day or two.

I couldn't get over it for three to five days. With such obvious side effects, few people dared to eat this crab.

This is completely contrary to the effect Luo Ji wants to achieve. Indeed, before life and death are critical, people will not care about their bodies and how they will feel. They can eat even disgusting things. But now,

If they are allowed to make themselves ill for three to five days just to prevent possible dangers, it is impossible to achieve the benefits produced by the monopoly pharmaceutical industry in any case.

Human beings' natural instinct is to pursue happiness, not to seek self-abuse. In daily conditions, it is naturally impossible for Luo Ji to change people's minds.

But the fact is that by the time they can feel the crisis coming, it may be too late. Luo Ji cannot guarantee whether the official will endorse the medicine he made. If so, then everyone will be happy.

But what if it doesn’t happen?

Without the clear guarantee of official power, no matter how powerful he was, he would not be able to sell this drug with such obvious side effects.

What's more, even if we take a step back, the government does guarantee it, but can Luo Ji's medicines only be sold to normal young adults?

For pregnant women, the elderly, and children, if they suddenly suffer from illness for three to five days, even if their health is fine, they may be suffering from something wrong. By that time, they are not under control from outside, but are poisoned by drugs.

His body was weak and he brought another wave of patients to the hospital.

"If you want to weaken the side effects... you either have to change the one-size-fits-all approach, or you have to strengthen the quality of the human body itself..."

Stuck at a difficult point, Luo Ji frowned and said to himself,

"But the human body is not a machine. If it gets stuck, just put a drop of lubricant on it.

If you want to strengthen your body, you need a lot of time to recuperate. It is impossible to change the body's quality in a short time with just one or two medicines!"

"Then we can only conduct targeted research?"

Thinking of this, Luo Ji only felt that it was quite tricky. It was a taboo to conduct experiments on human subjects. The risk control during this period had always been strictly controlled by the authorities.

If you want to progress things to the level of using human bodies for research, you only need to think about it. From research and development to implementation to clinical stage, it takes more than ten years to prepare, and various experiments must be carried out to ensure that there is no great impact on the human body.

Harmful, only one or two patients were allowed to be used as clinical trial targets.

Only if the trial target has no obvious adverse reactions after a period of time, will it be allowed to enter the stage of large-scale clinical trials.

It is conceivable that Luo Ji wants to directly use human bodies for his own research, which is quite difficult.

Just as he was thinking about the possibility of doing this, the only phone in the R&D room rang, interrupting his thoughts.

Luo Ji's face couldn't help but darken. Before he came in for research and development, he had specifically told him not to disturb him unless necessary.

The ratio of drugs is different from writing a novel. Even if it is an interrupted train of thought, at most typos, or one or two paragraphs of preface and follow-up, if there is even the slightest difference in the drug product, it will really make a difference.

Those who put people to death!

Under such circumstances, someone actually came to disturb him knowingly. This made Luo Ji, who had been stuck at the critical moment for a long time and was already very unhappy, feel a little annoyed. He answered the phone and said coldly:

"What's the matter? You'd better make me feel that the news you're telling me is important."

The person on the other side of the phone was Yang Ziye. When he saw Luo Ji's cold face for the first time, he couldn't help being startled. He hesitated before speaking:

"The official sent two experts to understand the pathology of the prescription you prescribed before and to discuss how to curb the outbreak of the disease next. You should meet with Mr. Wang about this matter."

"Didn't I already tell them that I can't treat it? As for studying pathology, they have so many high-end instruments. Isn't it difficult to analyze the effects of combining the medicines? Why do you come to me?

?!"

Luo Ji murmured unhappily, and the dissatisfaction in his words entered Yang Ziye's ears, making the latter's heart tighten slightly and said with a little embarrassment:

"Maybe... it would be better to ask the person involved about some things..."

"Ask them to wait in my office. They will be there immediately."

Even though there was some reluctance in his heart, Luo Ji knew that this kind of matter was beyond the scope of Yang Ziye's handling, so he could only give this order.

"expert…"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Ji looked at the earthen pots on the countertop, his eyes flickering on and off, and he said almost babbled,
Chapter completed!
