The original name is Sheephole_Valley_Wilderness, literally translated as Sheephole Valley Wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Located east of Los Angeles, adjacent to the northern boundary of Joshua Tree National Park. The terrain combines basins and mountains and is part of the Mojave Desert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place used to be a hunting ground for Indians. Granite boulders can be seen everywhere, forming shaded areas, and snow sheep once lived here, which is the origin of the word \"sheep hole.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, by today, the distribution range of snow sheep has shrunk to areas further north. This place has become a desert with sparse vegetation, and although it is a natural landscape park, it is rarely visited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry got himself a container house laboratory in such a place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he considered whether to establish a laboratory in the national forest area north of Los Angeles, using the forest to hide the traces of the laboratory. But considering that forest fires in North America are frequent, he thought about it and forgot it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don't think about how to hide a conspicuous man-made building from satellite surveillance in the bare desert terrain, even if it's just the size of a 40-foot standard container.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he picked Sheephole Valley Wilderness was because there were natural caves formed by granite. The characteristic of this kind of cave is shallow, and some only provide a shaded area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, using such terrain to transform a cave that could fit a container house, shielding it from satellite detection in the sky, wasn't a big deal for the Kryptonian's civil construction ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry didn't even fear the problem of inconvenient transportation. His entry and exit were directly by flying. Outsiders wanting to use car tracks to find this place was simply impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason that could expose the location was whether those players who loved wilderness exploration and didn't take the ordinary route would bump into this place one day by chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of probability was quite low, and if it was really bumped into, he could only pray that the other party didn't carry any heavy equipment or lock-picking tools, and still chose to break in when seeing the lock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In order to meet the basic needs of survival, Henry dug a well and a septic tank here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he built wind power generation and solar power generation generator sets, large storage batteries, and equipped with a backup diesel generator. The most basic water and electricity were complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for establishing this laboratory was to manufacture various drugs needed by the black clinic. From antibiotics to all kinds of strange anti-cancer drugs, Henry could synthesize and produce them here through chemical methods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he did these things in Old Gary's apartment building, but some smells were not easy to handle. Rather than continuing to upgrade the air purification device and doing these things in the city center, it was better to find another piece of land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such an idea, Henry picked a piece of wasteland and Jedi in Sheephole Valley Wilderness, and established a simple shelter for laboratory use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with it, most of the work of manufacturing equipment originally in the rented house was moved here by Henry. Anyway, if he flew at full speed, going back and forth between the two places was just a blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the drugs used in the black clinic, of course, he didn't want to jump into the big pit of medicine. Think about how much IQ tax is in it, and how many drugs are regulated, if you want to buy them, you can only find ways and spend more money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Henry didn't want to open a pharmaceutical company himself and fight against those big factories, he just wanted to get some drugs to use with his medical behavior, so he simply did it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Relying on the knowledge learned from the library, going to university libraries to read some journals, literature, and papers. If it wasn't enough, he would go to \"visit\" the laboratories and data rooms of those big pharmaceutical companies...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In short, as long as it wasn't the kind of too tricky synthetic raw material, like Borneo blood orchid, with the Kryptonian's craftsmanship and super brain, there was no failure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because he still remembered his promise to Big Old Ou, and he didn't want to mix into the status of Breaking Bad, so the drugs Henry synthesized were limited to those with mature formulas and specific curative effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And those common painkillers, Henry didn't even touch them. His black clinic wasn't any proper hospital, if it hurt, just grit your teeth and hold on, if you can't hold on, then forget it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there was a need in the treatment, gold needles would serve, and after the treatment, it would still hurt. Pain proves that people are still alive! This is Henry's belief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, those who come to find him won't be good people. If his special painkillers become a channel for them to easily obtain, wouldn't it gather a group of drug addicts again. Rather than satisfying these worms, it's better to let them experience the taste of living.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the current stage, Henry was just imitating drugs that existed on the market, and didn't develop them himself. Mainly because drug research cycles are long, and it requires a series of experiments to prove its effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Addiction, human experimentation, these kinds of things, if he could not touch them, he wouldn't. This could be considered a red line Henry drew for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And coming to the laboratory to get some drugs was also in Henry's plan for this two-month suspension period. Because besides common drugs like antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, other things were synthesized and manufactured temporarily when needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this half-year of opening experience, Henry also knew which drugs could be produced a little bit, and when they would come in handy. Conventional drugs could also be reserved more, anyway, chemically synthesized drugs could be placed for a long time as long as they were not damp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for whether to make Chinese medicine? Henry only had the two words \"hum hum.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First of all, the place he was in was the United States. Secondly, it wasn't that Chinese medicine wasn't good, but that Chinese medicine that could really come in handy was quite rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can American ginseng and wild mountain ginseng be mentioned in the same breath? Can rhinoceros horn be replaced by cow horn? Are safflower and saffron the same thing? Can farmed and ripened ones compare with those raised by heaven and earth?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry sometimes felt that doing this kind of propaganda, making most people feel that Chinese medicine had substitutes, was it because those precious medicinal materials were really too rare, so those who understood threw this smoke bomb to retain their share.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no longer a problem that could be solved by simple price control, there were many things that were simply priceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for the same medicine, different sources, different origins, would the medicinal quality be the same? Really think that medicinal materials can be treated equally as long as they can be grown?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fruits on the same tree will have astringent and sweet, ripe and raw. Do medicinal materials have no distinction between good and bad?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anyway, Henry followed the Chinese medical books he could find, cooperated with the Chinese medicinal materials he could find in the United States, and gave up after using them a few times. He couldn't say the book was wrong, but the medicine he could find at hand really wasn't good enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Indian herbal medicine... Henry only knew one coca leaf. The rest of the knowledge was destroyed by the Europeans in the Age of Discovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Indians themselves didn't inherit much, let alone record it into text, so Henry could learn from books.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So on this North American land, Henry gave up researching Chinese medicine. It was better to rest assured and spin around in the field of chemistry, which could be considered as consolidating his research ability in chemical engineering and biotechnology.\u003C\u002Fp>",1366,"2026-06-18T03:06:30.833Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","7fec591ba93426dcd732da7266dc3b8e3df5634680efd174a0a605f84f23cf79","marvel-s-salted-fish-kryptonian-chapter-240","marvel-s-salted-fish-kryptonian-chapter-238",253,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-salted-fish-kryptonian-cover.jpg"]
