Upgrading the Pharmaceutical Equipment

Ren Yisheng will seek Zuo Quan's 'lucky gem' ornament, while Zhang Xuezhou will continue to seek Dongshan's fortune, ensuring that everything is prepared for any eventuality.

Meanwhile, Koting Sakura got his wish and arrived at the B13 Research Institute.

The construction debris in Zhang Xuezhou's rest room had just been cleared away, and several construction technicians who had been requisitioned were seeking repairs, pointing and discussing, and also looking for ways to modify the wiring.

"This basic lab is too rudimentary. Even if you don't need a high-end lab, you should at least set up a mid-range one, so that even operating the equipment becomes a problem!"

This was Gao Tingsheng's first time visiting the B13 Research Institute.

This research institute seems perfectly fine to young people, but to Gao Tingsheng, everything here is too rudimentary.

"For a craftsman to do his job well, he must first hone his tools to a very sharp edge. Similarly, we researchers need a good laboratory before we can conduct in-depth research," Gao Tingsheng said. "If Professor Zhang had an intermediate-level laboratory, I believe the quality of longevity medicine would definitely reach a new level!"

"I'm not sure about this..."

"We also really want a mid-level laboratory, but the procedures are difficult and the equipment is hard to get approved!"

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to say that he didn't have high requirements for laboratory equipment, Ren Anran quickly interrupted him.

"Although we have some connections, a candidate member is still a candidate. Without the status of a member, the approval of this intermediate laboratory becomes a problem," Ren Anran said.

"These rules and regulations are too rigid. People who really need them can't use them because of the restrictions, while those who don't need them can get involved in high-end laboratories, but they can't produce anything that benefits the country and its people," Gao Tingsheng said with extreme dissatisfaction.

"This is how the Alliance States manage technological risks," Ren Anran laughed. "We can only wait and see if there's any hope in twenty years!"

"Twenty years is too long!"

Gao Tingsheng only needs to think about how he will be eighty years old in twenty years. He feels that even if he can live for several more decades, his condition at eighty will definitely be average, and he will not be as mentally clear as he is now.

Extending lifespan is not about staying young forever. If he could prolong his life, Gao Tingsheng would prefer to do so while he is still young, rather than dragging his frail old body through the rest of his days.

"I need to talk to my colleagues to see if we can make this system a little more flexible. This rigid system is not conducive to the development of our Alliance States!"

Gao Tingsheng muttered something to himself, and then followed Zhang Xuezhou into the center of the research institute.

"This is our platform for processing longevity-enhancing drugs. There are also some artifacts in the freezer here!"

"Wet processing machine, slicer, pulverizer, multi-functional extraction tank, storage tank, tilting reaction vessel, feeder, pelletizing machine, liquid preparation tank, fluidized bed dryer..."

As Zhang Xuezhou introduced the pharmaceutical equipment room, Gao Tingsheng also quickly checked the relevant equipment in the laboratory.

"This is the medicine for prolonging life!"

Only after Zhang Xuezhou took out the longevity medicine did Gao Tingsheng focus his attention entirely on the bottle of black pills that Zhang Xuezhou had taken out.

He took the sealed bottle, slightly opened it, brought it close to his nose, and sniffed it. He smelled a refreshing medicinal scent.

"Once you detect the scents of Erigeron breviscapus, Ligusticum striatum, and Polygonatum sibiricum, the rest become very difficult to distinguish!"

Gao Tingsheng sniffed it and looked completely intoxicated, as if he were smelling some rare treasure.

"This is ancient medicine refining, and a high-level ancient method at that. Everything is just as Professor Zhang said at the awarding ceremony," Gao Tingsheng exclaimed. "Traditional processes may seem simple, but the failure rate is ridiculously high. Replicating the pills requires an extremely high level of skill. Combining it with modern pharmaceutical equipment requires integrating, improving, and perfecting the entire process. Professor Zhang is truly remarkable!"

"Professor Gao is so good at praising people!"

I'm telling the truth!

Gao Tingsheng carefully put the sealed bottle cap back in.

When he peeked out on tiptoe, he saw that Zhang Xuezhou only had one bottle of longevity medicine left in the freezer, and his heart immediately settled down.

The idea that taking medicine will make you full is a false proposition; no one can eat medicine as food. This bottle of medicine should be within the dosage range of the prescription.

Gao Tingsheng was overjoyed to receive a bottle of longevity medicine from Zhang Xuezhou.

There wasn't much to see in the basic laboratory, but the life-extending drug had already been obtained.

Gao Tingsheng was not in a hurry to take the pills, but he was eager to use them for experimental analysis.

He was somewhat unable to contain himself once he got his hands on the medication.

"Our pharmaceutical equipment needs upgrading!"

Seeing Gao Tingsheng leave the research institute in his car, Ren Anran happily uttered a sentence.

"This Gao Tingsheng doesn't have the ability to smooth things over for us, does he?" Zhang Manqian asked doubtfully. "These kinds of things are governed by law; it seems there's no room for personal connections!"

"Gao Tingsheng can't help us smooth things over, but he can use the guise of lab collaborations to transfer or rent equipment," Ren Anran said. "If he's willing to do it, we'll have to replace all the equipment in our lab!"

"Could he send all the equipment from his lab over?" Zhang Manqian asked incredulously.

"He can't," Ren Anran shook his head, "But he can contact many laboratories to procure equipment!"

"He must have memorized all the pharmaceutical-related instruments in our lab," Zhang Xuezhou laughed. "Once we get this bottle of medicine for analysis and research, and gather some professors with similar ideas, we can temporarily borrow some help from him!"

Are we using this equipment to continue producing longevity drugs?

"The Xuezhou doesn't require such advanced modern equipment. Perhaps by acquiring more sophisticated instruments, we can improve the formulation standards of the Heavenly God General's medicines!"

Ren Anran couldn't withstand two doses of the Heavenly God General Potion, and Zhang Xuezhou almost died after receiving two doses as well, with what appeared to be residual trauma in his brain. Ren Anran couldn't help but want to settle down and try to improve the Heavenly God General Potion.

With her hands now back to normal and able to operate the instruments, and the laboratory equipment likely to be replaced, Ren Anran felt more confident.

Of course, even if the improvement fails, Ren Anran doesn't think things are too bad, after all, she is only exploring related possibilities, not necessarily aiming to achieve any goal.

"Since you, I, and I have already received the injections, it's difficult to have another one in the short term, so there's no need to rush," Zhang Xuezhou said after a moment's thought. "Perhaps we can contact Zuo Quan; I'll get in touch with him later!"

What Ren Anran mentioned might correspond to probability, and Zhang Xuezhou felt that for things with a probability of success, he could ask Zuo Quan for help.

Zuo Quan mentioned that he had run out of lucky charms, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't think that was a problem. He said that if the other party didn't have any, they could make more, and who knows when new ones would come out.

"Should we make a trip to Qinmeng?" Ren Anran asked.

"Hunting ferocious beasts is no small matter. We also have the situation with Huo Liuxing on Qin Meng's side. We'll assess the situation after the international dispute is resolved!"

Zhang Xuezhou waved his hand, indicating that everyone could relax a bit and not be too tense.

Cultivation, medicine making, and hunting ferocious beasts are not things that can be accomplished overnight, but these things are closely related to everyone.

If they hadn't thoroughly investigated Zuo Quan and Zuo Luo's backgrounds and known that the probability of Huang Daoxian causing trouble recently was very low, Zhang Xuezhou and the others would have had to think twice before going to Qin Meng.

Now that Huang Daoxian's high risk has been eliminated and Zuo Quan's high-risk period two years from now has been confirmed, everyone can indeed put aside the tension of the past year, adjust their mind and body, and then set off again.
