Chapter 1869

After drinking a few sips of warm water, Zhang San introduced the research and development progress of the new medicine to his research institute's main investor—the new human Xia Qing.

"The price of evolutionary crystal orchid is too high, so I selected six low-priced herbs with similar medicinal effects, and will start comparative efficacy trials after the Qiang rain."

After speaking, Zhang San tapped the laptop a few times to show Xia Qing the names and medicinal effects of these six herbs, and continued to introduce, "These six herbs are the candidate medicinal materials screened out so far. Although they do not have the perfect targeted delivery ability of evolutionary crystal orchid, their core analgesic molecules have structural similarities with the effective ingredients of crystal orchid."

Xia Qing quickly checked the text on the screen and opened her mouth, "The side effects are all quite obvious."

Zhang San nodded, "Controlling the dosage can reduce the side effects of taking it."

Xia Qing proposed, "Third Brother, we can develop two types of medicine, one is a regular version with side effects, and the other is an upgraded version without side effects. The regular version is sold out, and the high-priced version first meets internal usage needs, and the excess part is then sold at a high price."

"The number of high-level brain-domain and magnetic sense evolutionaries is limited, but to stably supply the high-priced version to meet their needs, at least 50 evolutionary crystal orchids need to be collected every year. As for annual profit..." Zhang San's brain operated rapidly and gave a reasonable number, "Conservatively estimated at 7 million points."

Xia Qing's eyes lit up immediately, full of motivation, "Third Brother, which research institute are you on good terms with, Gui 6 or Hui 10? Let's get the cultivation technology and seeds of evolutionary crystal orchid and cultivate this grass in the mountain crack of Mountain 62?"

The cost of building a laboratory is high, so just cultivate symbiotic fungi and sow seeds in the mountain crack. By then, I won't dare to say more, but getting dozens of plants a year shouldn't be a problem.

Zhang San leaned back in his chair, "I will contact Hui 10 first. We both belong to the Hui City base and are both adjacent to the Divine Grass Evolutionary Forest area, so the similarity of cultivation environment and bacterial species is higher. The Hui 10 base previously sent an application letter, hoping to participate in the 31-1 detoxification treatment. I plan to use the cases and treatment plans of 31-1 to exchange for this technology with them."

Letting them participate in the treatment is impossible, because the participation of other research teams might expose the secret that the attending physician of 31-1 is the resilience evolutionary Shi Shi Jiaran.

Hui 10 is located more than 300 kilometers northwest of the Hui 6 base, and the straight-line distance from the Hui 3 base exceeds 1,600 kilometers. It is the base with the weakest comprehensive strength, the smallest population, and the weakest sense of existence among the ten bases in Hui City.

Xia Qing hadn't dealt with people from this base, but her idol's choice must be correct, and Xia Qing had no opinion. She began to consider practical problems, "Third Brother, we don't exchange grass seeds and bacterial species with Hui 10 because of the cost issue, or can we collect the native bacterial species and seeds of Mountain 62 for cultivation?"

Zhang San explained, "The Hui 10 base is more than 1,000 meters higher than our base. The evolutionary crystal orchid they cultivate will not break ground until late May, and the seeds will not mature until late July. The evolutionary crystal orchid in the northern bear troop territory has already broken ground, and the seeds can mature by late April. We will try to use Hui 10's technology to collect native seeds and propagate native fungi first. If it doesn't work, it won't be too late to exchange with them."

"You are still the thoughtful one." Xia Qing asked for advice, "Third Brother, when the seeds mature in late April, can we harvest the stems and leaves of the crystal orchid together to extract effective ingredients for medicine?"

The farmer is still very reliable in her professional field. Zhang San nodded kindly, "Yes, the whole grass of crystal orchid can be used as medicine. After successful cultivation, we will harvest the stems and leaves after the seeds mature for medicine every year."

"Even if the cultivation is not successful, the stems and leaves of those thirty-plus plants in the crack can be harvested, which is enough for you to configure special medicine to treat headaches." After finalizing the plan, it should be implemented. Xia Qing discussed with her idol, "Third Brother, we have to install a camera in the mountain crack, right?"

Zhang San nodded, "In addition to the camera, try to protect the growth area of the crystal orchid to avoid the plants being bitten by insects. Will you and Dagua go there again tomorrow?"

"Good." Xia Qing agreed, took out her phone from her pocket, "Third Brother, that mountain crack is very narrow and very steep, so installing cameras and cultivating orchids has to rely on Dagua. So we have to increase Dagua's enthusiasm..."

Twenty minutes later, Xia Qing rolled out of her idol's office and saw Zhang Song, who was hanging one arm, standing in the corridor, looking at her eagerly.

Criminal investigation expert Zhang Song met Xia Qing's eyes and immediately judged that she was in a good mood now, so he seized the opportunity to invite, "Junior Sister, come to my room to have a cup of tea before leaving?"

Xia Qing nodded, followed Zhang Song into the room, and nimbly took out her phone, lit up the photo of Dagua that she had shown her idol again, and received a completely different reaction.

Zhang Song stared at the photo for a full ten seconds before looking at Xia Qing eagerly, "Sister Qing, can this photo be forwarded to me?"

After Xia Qing sent the photo to him, Zhang Song turned around and wanted to go back to the desk to use his computer to view the photo, but his two legs that were not under the command of his smart brain couldn't keep up, and his body fell forward.

Xia Qing, who was prepared, pinched Zhang Song's waist with both hands, lifted him up, went around the desk, and placed him beside the chair.

"Many thanks, Sister Qing." Zhang Song's attention had already been attracted by Dagua, and after thanking Xia Qing, he immediately used the computer to open the photo, zoomed in, and checked it carefully.

That look was full of love.

Xia Qing sat by the table and asked, "Song Ge, does Dagua's behavior of dyeing its hair count as vanity?"

Zhang Song shook his head, "Dagua's behavior of dyeing its fur white was generated after systematically learning human knowledge and deeply understanding the theory of microbial pathogenesis. This behavior is a complete, active health management plan with clear causal logic."

Xia Qing remembered, "The teaching video of the evolutionary biology class mentioned that dark hair easily adsorbs and hides a large number of pathogenic microorganisms invisible to the naked eye. After learning this lesson, Dagua stared at its fur for a long time."

Zhang Song immediately wrote down this behavior of Dagua and continued to introduce, "This knowledge point brought it continuous cognitive anxiety, so after learning that it could change its fur color with dye, it took the initiative to propose dyeing its fur white to build a micro-environment on the body surface that is not conducive to microbial growth."

Xia Qing added, "Dagua thinks white fur doesn't absorb heat and is cooler in summer."

Zhang Song paused for two seconds, expanded that sentence he just said, and re-expressed it, "It chose white because the white base can reflect heat and keep the body surface dry, so it can build a micro-environment on the body surface that is not conducive to microbial growth."

Xia Qing...

Brain-domain evolutionaries are indeed never likable at any time.
