The Dwarf Clan was slightly better off.
They had medicinal herbs and medicinal liquor, but they were just as helpless against complex illnesses.
In particular, they had previously had no choice but to endure lung conditions and occupational diseases caused by prolonged mining and forging, metal dust damage, joint strain, and burns from high temperatures.
Now, with Great Xia hospitals, they could at least receive systematic treatment.
After hearing this, everyone looked thoughtfully at Liu Chengen.
Great Xia had only established diplomatic relations with Terra a little over a year ago, yet so many medicines targeting Terra's various races had already been developed?
And they had passed clinical trials?
In Great Xia, a drug took a few years at the shortest to reach the market, and over a decade at the longest.
Why had it been so fast on Terra...?
Could they have been experimenting on living people?
Seeing the slightly furrowed brows around him, Liu Chengen immediately understood and said:
"Development of race-specific medicines has progressed faster than expected, but I must emphasize one thing: our Biological Research Institute hasn't been doing anything reckless."
He looked around the conference room, his tone unusually serious.
"Terra's various races have physiological differences from humans. We certainly can't simply apply Blue Star's standards to drug metabolism and effects."
"But every drug we've developed has gone through a volunteer system, phased clinical trials, and ethical review. Everything is entirely legal and compliant."
"The speed is partly because biological science is advancing rapidly now. During trials, we also have healing magic and holy water as safeguards, along with Terra's magical plants, animals, and other raw materials. That's why progress has been so fast."
Terra's medicines could reach the market quickly not because Great Xia dared to experiment recklessly, but because the magic system reduced
