Door-to-door dragon son-in-law

Chapter 1778 This is Metaphysics

Because the test drug failed, the entire laboratory suddenly fell into despair.

The reason for their despair was not that they couldn't imitate Jiuxuan Zaizaowan, but that they had already imitated it one to one, but the results were quite different.

This suddenly made everyone fall into a dead end.

If imitation is useless, what should be done to be useful?

Rogers was also completely dumbfounded. He paced back and forth with the imitation pill, muttering in his mouth: "What should I do next... What else can I do next... It won't work if it's exactly the same. Could it be different next time?" direction to try?"

Several pharmacy experts were also full of frustration.

They have been in the industry for so many years, and they have never encountered such an incredible thing.

Smith thought for a moment, thought of something, and asked Rutgers: "Could it be that Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical has a different process in the preparation process?"

Rutgers touched his forehead and asked, "What exactly do you mean?"

Smith said: "For example, whether they are boiled and then air-dried, or baked, or exposed to the sun for seven to seven days for 49 days..."

Rutgers asked at a loss: "Why is it 49 days? What kind of logic is this?"

Smith said: "I don't know, my daughter is watching the English version of "Journey to the West", a Chinese mythology story, in which the immortals refine the elixir, usually using square numbers, such as seven seven 49, nine nine 81..."

Rutgers said awkwardly: "Isn't this fucking too rigorous?"

Smith said seriously: "This matter has become very metaphysical now, so we have to think about whether there is something metaphysical that we haven't noticed."

As he said that, Smith continued: "By the way, I heard that traditional Chinese medicine also pays attention to a lot of things, such as how much water to add, how long to cook, whether to cook on high or low heat, the results are different..."

Smith thought of something, and hurriedly added: "By the way, "Journey to the West" also said that sometimes you need to use rootless water to make elixirs. If you use other waters, you can't achieve the desired effect. The effect of the medicine!"

Rutgers rubbed his temples and asked him, "What is this rootless water?"

Smith said: "The so-called rootless water is explained in Journey to the West as rainwater falling from the sky. Because the rain comes from the sky, it is called rootless water."

Rutgers almost fainted, and blurted out: "No matter where the water comes from, isn't it all H2O? Why is rainwater better than other water? Isn't rainwater also transformed from water vapor evaporated from the ocean?"

Smith spread his hands and said: "So this is metaphysics! If it has a scientific basis, it is science. It is because there is no scientific basis that it is called metaphysics."

Rutgers asked him: "Then you mean, next we will let different teams try to prepare this formula in different ways? For example, who cooks on high heat, who cooks on low heat, who uses natural air drying, Who uses high temperature to bake? Then let them try different water, for example, who uses rainwater from the sky, who uses underground well water, and who uses snow water from snow-capped mountains?"

Smith said embarrassingly: "I know, this sounds strange, but I really think there is no better way now. The White House has engaged us in such a big battle. We can't declare defeat in less than a day." Right? In that case, in the eyes of the White House, what is the difference between everyone and a bunch of trash?"

Rutgers wanted to cry, but blurted out: "Smith...we are all scientists, let scientists do such metaphysical things, they are not professional..."

Smith said: "No way, just bite the bullet and do it, otherwise what should we do?"

At this time, a scientific researcher with an Asian face plucked up the courage to say: "Mr. Rutgers, I suggest that it is best to go to Jinling for field investigation, and then bring back a batch of environmental samples for research, such as the air quality there. , soil, groundwater, surface water, and rainfall, etc.

Seeing that he had an Asian face, Rogers asked curiously, "Are you Chinese?"

"No, I'm Japanese."

Rutgers asked again: "Do you think it is so troublesome to go to the local area?"

The man replied with a serious face: "Before I immigrated to the United States, I did research and development of microorganisms in Japan for many years. At that time, Japan's economy was taking off, and all walks of life were imitating excellent products from overseas, not only automobiles, Optics, steel, medicine, and even winemaking!"

Then, the man continued to explain: "At that time, many distilleries in Japan entrusted us to help them reverse-engineer European and American whiskey and Chinese Moutai, and then imitate them. Western whiskey is very simple, and we will soon have Breakthrough, it didn’t take long for Japanese whiskey to be better than blue, its quality and taste surpassed that of European products, and it won a large market share, but China’s Moutai was the only one that could not be imitated.”

Rutgers asked him, "Why? Is there anything special about Moutai?"

"It's really special." The Japanese researcher explained: "We used the same method to reverse-engineer Moutai, and found that the taste is always much worse!"

"Later we learned that there are many wineries in China that have tried to imitate Moutai, but they all failed. The reason for this is very mysterious. The same craftsmanship, the same materials, and the same formula are only available in Moutai. , to be able to produce that kind of Moutai liquor, leaving that place, no matter how imitated it is, it still lacks a little soul.”

Rutgers hurriedly asked, "Have you finally found out where the problem is?"

"I found it." The other party explained: "We later carefully studied the microbial flora in the wine brewing process, and found that it was because of the koji we used, the microbes were always different from the local koji in Moutai, even if we It’s still not enough to secretly extract Moutai’s distiller’s yeast and bring it back to Japan for cultivation.”

After a pause, the other party continued: "We finally came to the conclusion that pure Moutai can only be brewed in Moutai, in their very unique environment, where the climate, altitude, humidity and local water Resources are playing an extremely subtle but extremely important role."

"I understand..." Rogers gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that there is something really mysterious about it..."

After all, Rutgers asked him appreciatively: "What's your name? Which company do you work for?"

The other party hastily bowed excitedly, and said, "My name is Nakamura Shunpei. Before I immigrated to the United States, I worked at the National Research Institute. Later, I moved to Kobayashi Pharmaceutical to work in the research and development of microbial pharmaceuticals. Now I work at Johnson & Johnson! It is a great honor to be able to Participate in the research and development of this miracle drug! I will definitely go all out and do my best!"

"Kobayashi Pharmaceutical..." Rutgers asked in surprise, "Is that the Kobayashi Pharmaceutical that was acquired by Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical?"

"Yes!" Nakamura Shunhei nodded immediately: "Later, Kobayashi Pharmaceutical gave up microbial medicines and fully transformed into Chinese prescription medicines, so I left."

"Okay!" Rutgers nodded, and said: "In this case, you should form a team and set off to Huaxia to conduct investigation and research immediately! Take a look at the location of Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, what is so special about it! By the way I’m also going to try out Jiuxuan Zaozao Pill locally to see if it will work!”
