Chapter 234: The Right Way to Open Insight (2-in-1)
Bai Xiaowen understood and nodded.
He finally understood why the purity of Sun Hecheng's pharmaceutical steps was so low, only 67%.
The medicinal materials purified by the furnace themselves contain a certain amount of impurities, which will not be discussed for the time being.
And Bai Xiaowen completely copied and applied Sun Hecheng's pharmaceutical steps, and even the amount of medicinal materials used was exactly the same, which seemed to be accurate and foolproof, but in fact, the active ingredient particles contained in the refurnace medicinal materials were definitely different from the active ingredient particles of the original medicinal materials used by Sun Hecheng.
In the end, there was no pharmaceutical failure, which was already very good. It's not surprising that it's only 67% pure.
"As long as the active ingredients in the medicinal materials can be accurately measured, can the perfect quality of the medicine be made?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"That's true, but you also know that there is no tool to accurately measure the ingredients of psionic herbs, and it depends on the experience of pharmacists to roughly estimate the number of active ingredient particles contained in medicinal herbs from the quality of medicinal herbs......
Bai Xiaowen smiled: "I understand...... Store manager, Master Sun, I want to try to make a bottle of Ruby Power Elixir, can you borrow the workbench here?"
"You?" Sun Hecheng was slightly stunned.
Zhang Jing laughed and said, "Of course it's no problem if you want to practice your hands...... However, the store has store rules, and the medicinal materials consumed will be deducted from your monthly purchase money. β
"No problem. Bai Xiaowen said happily.
Bai Xiaowen's earth currency income will be divided into the account of the Chaoshen Pharmacy every month, and he will go through the channel of the Chaoshen Pharmacy to buy medicinal materials and use them in his own medicine.
The purchase of psionic medicinal materials in the Chaoshen Pharmacy is a bulk purchase, not to mention the discounts in the price, and the quality is also relatively assured.
At that moment, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi followed Sun Hecheng into the pharmaceutical department together.
Sun Hecheng opened the door of his exclusive production room and patted Bai Xiaowen on the shoulder: "Don't have any pressure, just practice your hands." Now hundreds of thousands of yuan of medicinal materials are consumed, and it is just a drizzle for you......"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Master Sun, I understand." β
Not long after, the potion of the Enhancement Elixir: Ruby Power was sent over, a total of three copies. It seemed that Sun Hecheng didn't believe in Bai Xiaowen's level very much, so he prepared two more medicinal materials.
After Bai Xiaowen failed twice in a row, he should be able to realize that it is not easy to make high-level strengthening elixirs. When the time comes, Sun Hecheng will not let Bai Xiaowen go home, he pondered about going down in person, using the third medicinal herb to make a bottle of ruby power strengthening potion for Bai Xiaowen.
Maybe the purity can't reach the perfect level, but more than 85% can still be guaranteed, and if you're lucky, 87% or 88% is possible, and it's better than most ruby power potions on the market.
Sun Hecheng's thoughts, Bai Xiaowen can probably guess, he is very familiar with the character of the good man Sun Hecheng.
However, Bai Xiaowen didn't say much and directly began to deal with the medicinal herbs. Instead of proving yourself with words, it is better to be more convincing with actions.
Sun Hecheng was on the side to guide.
"The Ruby Power Elixir is synthesized from four medicinal herbs: Clematis Vine, Pulau Pollen, Moon Wheel Leaf, and Terrain Dragon's Blood Crystal Powder," Sun Hecheng opened a thick book, "The most perfect formula ratio is here, you can take a look at it for yourself and weigh the medicinal herbs." β
Bai Xiaowen nodded, first put the first medicinal herb, the iron thread vine, at the end of the scale, and began to weigh it.
When Sun Hecheng didn't find out, Bai Xiaowen turned on his insight ability to detect this small piece of iron thread.
γClematisγ
[Grade: 1]
[Year: two years and three months]
[Ingredients: Energy components (life particles) 9.97%, plant fibers 86.12%, impurities (phosphorus, phloem, water, etc.) 3.91%]
Bai Xiaowen knew it in his heart, and silently calculated:
[Among the ingredients, the 'energy component' should be the active ingredient, only 9.97%, it seems that the age of this section of clematis is a bit low.] According to the perfect formula ratio, the specific gravity of the active ingredient of Clematis in 100 grams of the total liquid medicine should be 2.85%, if converted...... I should need about 28.59 grams of wire rattan herbs......γ
Bai Xiaowen felt a little emotion in his heart, this is the correct way to open the insight talent.
Bai Xiaowen stared at the scale of the scale, took out the knife, and began to cut the wire vine. He cut it faster at first, but then slowed down, removing the excess almost in tenths and zero-grams, like polishing a diamond.
Sun Hecheng frowned slightly, he didn't quite understand Bai Xiaowen's intention to do this. Normally, the estimated amount of wire rattan medicinal materials is 27~30 grams, and experienced pharmacists will take a value in this range based on their feelings (the quality of the herbs themselves), which will not be like Bai Xiaowen, which is a little redundant.
"Hoo ......"
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, put the tray of 28.59 grams of wire rattan away, and covered it with a glass cover. For the sake of insurance, he used another insight to ensure that the ingredients were accurate.
Next, dealing with the Langluo pollen, moon ring leaves, and earth-walking dragon blood crystal powder, Bai Xiaowen spent a lot of time, used insights many times, and spent a total of hundreds of psionic points before and after.
Although the single consumption of Insight Medicinal Materials on Psionic Points is very small, it can't stand up to many times.
Although Sun Hecheng was a little puzzled by Bai Xiaowen's cumbersomeness, his patience as a senior pharmacist was still very good, and he didn't bother Bai Xiaowen out loud, waiting for Bai Xiaowen to finish.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready. β
Bai Xiaowen rubbed his hands, and under the guidance of Sun Hecheng, he officially began to prepare.
"The first step is to prepare the base solution, and use the distillation method to strip the active ingredients in the clematis and moon wheel blades, and carry out preliminary mixing...... The standard time for mixing is 15 seconds, and the next step is to add purified water. This standard time is only for reference, and in actual operation, because of the deviation of the active ingredients of medicinal materials, it will lead to an advance or delay of a few tenths of a second, which needs to be judged by experience......"
After Bai Xiaowen finished heating and distilling, he directly mixed it, and at the same time picked up the test tube of pure water.
Pinched the time, and when the stopwatch just jumped to 15 seconds, Bai Xiaowen didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and poured pure water directly.
Sun Hecheng's lips moved, but he didn't speak. He was somewhat surprised to find that the timing of Bai Xiaowen's pouring of water was not advanced or delayed in the slightest, and judging by experience, it was also the most suitable time.
"Is it a coincidence?" Sun Hecheng muttered in his heart.
However, the next steps surprised Sun Hecheng more and more.
Every step, Bai Xiaowen did exactly the same as the standard procedure, not even 0.1 seconds of change! The process seems to be rigid and without discretion, but every step is right, just right!
Until the end, when the pollen of Pulau was sprinkled and the final process was carried out, Sun Hecheng did not give any more instructions.
"This ...... It's definitely not a coincidence. β
Ten minutes later, a tube of the elixir, which emitted a rich red luster, was quietly erected on the test tube rack. Bai Xiaowen's pharmacist proficiency has been improved again, from a full proficiency progress bar at level 2 to a level 3 pharmacist.
The medicine on the test tube rack is crystal clear, without any sediment or impurities, like a flawless ruby under the microscope, which is intoxicating.
"This purity ......" Sun Hecheng froze, then accentuated his tone and said with certainty, "It is definitely a perfect quality, most likely more than 95% purity...... I can't really see how much. β
Sun Hecheng was a little excited, but also a little shocked. He pulled an apprentice: "Go and call the store manager...... Fast. β
The apprentice's eyes widened in surprise, as if asking with his eyes. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you take the initiative to meet you? Is it appropriate to call the boss over in this way?
"Hurry up!" Sun Hecheng almost kicked him, and the apprentice was convinced, and ran away.
Sun Hecheng turned his head and stared at Bai Xiaowen: "You...... How?"
Bai Xiaowen was stunned by him, rubbed his face, and squeezed out a smile: "This ...... Master Sun, didn't you watch the whole process, just follow your guidance and make the perfect recipe in the book. β
"Don't talk nonsense, I will go out in person, and I can't make a potion of this purity once ten times," Sun Hecheng recalled Bai Xiaowen's production process just now, "Could it be that the materials are more special?"
As Sun Hecheng spoke, he picked up the remaining two medicinal herbs and examined them carefully, but found nothing.
It didn't take long for the old store manager Zhang Jing to rush over.
"What's wrong?"
As soon as Sun Hecheng told him about the situation, the old store manager was also interested. He picked up the newly-made potion and made it carefully against the light.
"The purity is 96%, and it is also a rare boutique among perfect-grade medicines. β
The old store manager Zhang Jing gave an evaluation, "Hecheng, when the medicine reaches this purity, it has little to do with the raw materials. β
Sun Hecheng put down a few medicinal herbs, nodded, and looked at Bai Xiaowen at the same time as Zhang Jing: "Indeed, the reason should be the preparation process." Xiaobai, how did you do it? Is there any trick to making this high-purity perfect-grade potion a low-level pharmacist produce in large quantities?"
Bai Xiaowen was a little hairy by the two of them, so he simply said honestly: "This, I have a natural ability called insight, you all know it." β
"I know, it's an ability to assist in combat, and you can see other people's attributes, what does this have to do with medicine?" Sun Hecheng wondered.
"Actually, the insight talent can be used not only on people, but also on any other item that contains psionic particles, such as medicinal herbs," Bai Xiaowen explained, "and when I use the insight ability on medicinal herbs, I can clearly see the proportion of active ingredients of medicinal herbs......
This sentence is enough.
Sun Hecheng's eyes widened: "See the proportion of active ingredients clearly, then you can accurately determine ......?"
"That's right, I can accurately determine how much weight should be used for each medicinal herb, accurate to one hundredth of a gram," Bai Xiaowen said, "If the raw materials reach this level of accuracy, as long as they follow the perfect preparation process deduced in the book, they can be prepared step by step." β
"This ...... If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to make it on a large scale with a machine?, and all the products produced are perfect-grade potions?" Sun Hecheng thought quickly, "What about the pharmacist industry...... I'm afraid I'm going to have a fatal impact. β
The old store manager Zhang Jing suddenly asked: "How long does it take for you to determine the amount of a serving of medicinal materials?"
"The four medicinal herbs took a total of nearly two hours. Bai Xiaowen secretly admired the quick turn of the old store manager Zhang Jing's thinking, and instantly thought of the crux of the problem.
"In this way, if you work eight hours a day, you can only make four servings of medicinal herbs, and if you count the preparation time, you can produce no more than three bottles,"
The old store manager Zhang Jing pondered and said, "For ordinary pharmacists, having the ability to make three bottles of perfect-grade potions a day is enough to make a name for themselves in the pharmacy world, and even become a master-level figure." But...... For the hero profession, Xiaobai's time itself is an inestimable wealth, and he probably won't spend all his time on it......"
Bai Xiaowen said with a smile: "I need to spend psionic points to open the insight talent. Just to determine the active ingredients of these medicinal herbs, it cost me hundreds of psionic points...... With so many psionic points, it's hard to say whether it's worth it in exchange for a bottle of two or three million enhancement potions. Therefore, it is really difficult to achieve mechanized mass production. β
Sun Hecheng shook his head and said, "The price of a perfect-grade potion is completely different from a high-quality product. Your bottle of potion can be sold for tens of millions of dollars at auction...... Of course, for you, there is no shortage of earth currency, and consuming psionic points to earn tens of millions of earth currency is putting the cart before the horse. β
Since there is such a high cost of psionic points and time, then mechanized production is definitely impossible. Sun Hecheng thought so in his heart, but he was inexplicably relieved.
Zhang Jing fell into deep thought, and said slowly: "However, Xiaobai's talent can help our pharmacy solve a big problem......
Sun Hecheng's face moved: "Teacher, you mean...... The competition with the giant god pharmacy?Xiaobai may not have so much time. It is estimated that the number of bottles of potion he can make a month is the limit, and this potion is a drop in the bucket for a store. β
Zhang Jing smiled and shook his head: "Don't use your brains! How can a perfect-grade potion with a purity of more than 96% be sold in the front hall in a normal way? We can limit the purchase! Sell one or two bottles a week, hold a live auction, and use some media resources to hype up the name of 'Genius Pharmacy Master', won't the fame of our Super God Pharmacy become popular?"
Sun Hecheng was a little confused.
Zhang Jing turned to Bai Xiaowen: "Xiaobai...... I didn't want to tell you what you heard about the competition in the Titan Apothecary. The situation is indeed very serious, the branch of the Giant God Pharmacy has already opened to Chihuo Square, and it is clear that it is here to grab the territory. Moreover, they have a group of excellent pharmacists who have been trained for many years in their store, with sufficient supply and complete variety, which we can't compare, so we can only think of other ways. Can you do me a favor?"
Bai Xiaowen said happily: "What do you want me to do? How many bottles of potions need to be made every month, you name the number, I will try to find time to complete it." β
