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 that have been melted and purified themselves contain a certain amount of impurities, let’s not talk about this for now.
Bai Xiaowen completely reproduced and applied Sun Hecheng's pharmaceutical steps. Even the amounts of medicinal materials used were exactly the same. It seemed to be accurate and foolproof. In fact, the number of active ingredient particles contained in the recycled medicinal materials was exactly the same as that of the original medicinal materials used by Sun Hecheng.
is different.
In the end, there was no pharmaceutical failure, which is already very good. The purity of only 67% is not unusual.
"As long as we can accurately measure the active ingredients in medicinal materials, can we produce perfect quality medicine?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"That's true, but you also know that there is no tool to accurately measure the ingredients of psychic medicinal materials. This depends on the pharmacist's experience and the appearance of the medicinal materials to roughly estimate the number of active ingredient particles contained in the medicinal materials...
"
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "I understand... Store manager, Master Sun, I want to try to make a bottle of ruby ​​power potion again. Can you borrow the workbench here?"
"You?" Sun Hecheng was slightly stunned.
Zhang Jing laughed and said, "Of course it's okay if you want to practice your skills... However, the store has store rules, and the medicinal materials consumed will be deducted from your monthly purchase funds."
"No problem." Bai Xiaowen said happily.
Bai Xiaowen's earth currency income will be transferred into the account of Chaoshen Pharmacy every month, and he will go through the channels of Chaoshen Pharmacy to purchase medicinal materials for his own medicine.
Purchasing psychic medicinal materials at Chaoshen Pharmacy is a bulk purchase. Not only are there discounts on price, but the quality is also relatively reliable.
At the moment, Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi followed Sun Hecheng and walked into the pharmaceutical department.
Sun Hecheng opened the door of his exclusive production room and patted Bai Xiaowen on the shoulder: "Don't feel any pressure, just practice your skills. The current cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars in medicinal materials is just drizzle to you..."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Master Sun, I understand."
Not long after, the ingredients for making the strengthening potion: Ruby Power were sent over, three copies in total. It seemed that Sun Hecheng didn't quite believe in Bai Xiaowen's ability, so he prepared two more ingredients.
After Bai Xiaowen failed twice in a row, he should be able to realize that it is not easy to make high-level strengthening potions. When the time comes, Sun Hecheng will not let Bai Xiaowen go back disappointed. He is thinking of going out in person and using the third medicinal material to make a bottle for Bai Xiaowen.
Ruby power strengthening potion.
The purity may not be perfect, but it is still guaranteed to be above 85%. If you are lucky, it is possible to reach 87% or 88%. After all, it is better than most ruby ​​power potions on the market.
Bai Xiaowen could probably guess what Sun Hecheng was thinking, as he was very familiar with the character of the good guy Sun Hecheng.
However, Bai Xiaowen didn't say much and started processing the medicinal materials directly. Instead of using words to prove himself, it would be more convincing to use actions.
Sun Hecheng was guiding from the side.
"The power of ruby ​​​​potion is synthesized from four medicinal materials: Maidenhair Vine, Talisman Pollen, Moon Leaf and Terrain Dragon's Blood Crystal Powder." Sun Hecheng opened a thick book, "The most perfect formula ratio is here, you
You can take a look at it yourself and weigh the medicinal materials."
Bai Xiaowen nodded, first put the first medicinal material, Maidenhair Vine, on one end of the scale and started weighing it.
When Sun Hecheng didn't notice it, Bai Xiaowen activated his insight ability and detected this small section of iron wire vine.
[Malaysian vine]
[Grade: 1]
[Year: two years and three months]
[Ingredients: energy components (life particles) 9.97%, plant fibers 86.12%, impurities (phosphorus, phloem tissue, moisture, etc.) 3.91%]
Bai Xiaowen understood clearly and silently calculated:
[Among the ingredients, the 'energy component' should be the active ingredient, which is only 9.97%. It seems that the age of Maidenhair Vine is a bit low in this period. According to the perfect formula ratio, the active ingredient of Maidenhair Vine is in 100 grams of the total medicinal solution.
The proportion should be 2.85%. If converted... I should need about 28.59 grams of Maidenhair medicinal material...]
Bai Xiaowen felt a little emotional in his heart, this is the correct way to open up the talent of insight.
Bai Xiaowen stared at the scale of the scale, took out a knife, and began to cut the vine. He cut faster at first, then slowed down, removing the excess almost in units of 0.01 grams, just like polishing a diamond.
Same.
Sun Hecheng frowned slightly, he didn't quite understand Bai Xiaowen's intention of doing this. Under normal circumstances, the estimated weight of the maidenhair medicinal material is 27 to 30 grams, and experienced pharmacists will rely on their feelings (the quality of the medicinal material itself).
Picking a value within this range will not be as elaborate and cumbersome as Bai Xiaowen's.
"call……"
Bai Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief, placed the tray of 28.59 grams of maidenhair rattan, and covered it with a glass cover. To be on the safe side, he used Insight again to ensure the ingredients were accurate.
Next, Bai Xiaowen spent a lot of time to deal with the pollen, moon leaf and earth dragon blood crystal powder. He used insight many times and spent several hundred psychic points in total.
Although the single consumption of psychic points by insight medicine is very small, it cannot be used many times.
Although Sun Hecheng was a little puzzled by Bai Xiaowen's tedious work, as a senior pharmacist, he was very patient and did not disturb Bai Xiaowen. He waited for Bai Xiaowen to finish.
"Are you ready?"
"Ready."
Bai Xiaowen rubbed his hands and, under the guidance of Sun Hecheng, officially started the preparation.
"The first step is to prepare the base liquid, use distillation to peel off the active ingredients in the maidenhair vine and bay leaves, and conduct preliminary mixing... The standard mixing time is 15 seconds, and the next step is to add pure water. This standard time is just
For reference, during actual operation, due to deviations in the active ingredients of medicinal materials, it will lead to an advance or delay of a few tenths of a second. This requires empirical judgment..."
Bai Xiaowen completed the heating and distillation and started mixing directly. At the same time, he picked up a test tube of pure water.
Checking the time, when the stopwatch had just jumped to 15 seconds, Bai Xiaowen poured pure water directly into it regardless of the situation.
Sun Hecheng's lips moved but did not speak. He was somewhat surprised to find that Bai Xiaowen's timing of pouring water was not advanced or delayed at all. Judging from experience, it was also the most appropriate time.
"Is it a coincidence?" Sun Hecheng murmured in his heart.
However, the following steps surprised Sun Hecheng more and more.
Every step, Bai Xiaowen did exactly the same as the standard procedure, without even a 0.1 second change! The process seemed rigid and without discretion, but every step was done right and just right!
Until the end, when the pollen was sprinkled in and the final process was carried out, Sun Hecheng did not give any further guidance.
"This... is definitely not a coincidence."
Ten minutes later, a tube of potion with a rich red luster stood quietly on the test tube rack. Bai Xiaowen's pharmacist proficiency has been improved again, from the full proficiency progress bar of level 2 to level 3.
pharmacist.
The medicines on the test tube rack are crystal clear without any sediment or impurities. They are like flawless rubies under the mirror, which is intoxicating.
"This purity..." Sun Hecheng was stuck, and then he emphasized his tone and said with certainty, "It is absolutely perfect quality, most likely above 95% purity... I really can't tell how much it is."
Sun Hecheng was a little excited and a little shocked. He pulled over an apprentice and said, "Go and call the store manager over...quickly."
The apprentice's eyes widened in surprise, and he seemed to be asking with his eyes. Under normal circumstances, shouldn't he take the initiative to see him? Is it appropriate to call the boss over like this?
"Go quickly!" Sun Hecheng almost kicked him, and then the apprentice was convinced and ran away quickly.
Sun Hecheng turned around and stared at Bai Xiaowen: "How... did you do that?"
Bai Xiaowen felt guilty when he saw him, rubbed his face, and forced a smile: "This...Master Sun, didn't you watch the whole process? I just followed your instructions and the perfect recipe in the book."
."
"Don't talk nonsense. I personally will not be able to make a potion of this purity even once ten times." Sun Hecheng recalled Bai Xiaowen's production process just now. "Is it because the materials are special?"
As Sun Hecheng spoke, he picked up the remaining two medicinal materials and examined them carefully, but found nothing.
Not long after, the old store manager Zhang Jing rushed over.
"What happened?"
As soon as Sun Hecheng explained the situation, the old store manager also became interested. He picked up the newly made potion and looked at the light to identify it carefully.
"The purity is 96%, which is a rare product among perfect potions."
Zhang Jing, the old store manager, commented, "Hecheng, when the purity of the medicine reaches this level, it has little to do with the raw materials."
Sun Hecheng put down a few medicinal materials, nodded, and looked at Bai Xiaowen with Zhang Jing at the same time: "Indeed, the reason should be the preparation process. Xiaobai, how did you do it? Is there such a high-purity, perfect medicine?
What tricks can a low-level pharmacist produce in large quantities?"
Bai Xiaowen was a little embarrassed by the two people, so he simply told the truth: "Well, I have an innate ability called insight. You all know it, right?"
"I know, it's an ability to assist combat. You can see other people's attributes. What does this have to do with medicine?" Sun Hecheng asked doubtfully.
"Actually, the insight talent can be used not only on people, but also on any other items containing psychic particles, such as medicinal materials," Bai Xiaowen explained, "And when I use the insight ability on medicinal materials, I can clearly see
The proportion of active ingredients in medicinal materials..."
This sentence is enough.
Sun Hecheng's eyes widened: "See the proportion of active ingredients clearly? Then you can measure it accurately..."
"Yes, I can accurately measure the amount of each medicinal material that should be used, accurate to one hundredth of a gram," Bai Xiaowen said. "If the raw materials reach this accuracy, just follow the perfect preparation deduced in the book
The process, just prepare it step by step.”
"This...if this is the case, wouldn't it be possible to use machines to prepare medicines on a large scale? And the products produced are all perfect medicines?" Sun Hecheng thought quickly, "Then the pharmacist industry...may be fatally impacted.
"
The old store manager Zhang Jing suddenly asked: "How long does it take you to measure the weight of a portion of medicinal materials?"
"The four medicinal materials took a total of nearly two hours." Bai Xiaowen secretly admired the old store manager Zhang Jing's quick thinking and instantly thought of the crux.
"In this case, if you work eight hours a day, you can only produce four batches of medicinal materials. Including the preparation time, the output will not exceed three bottles."
Zhang Jing, the old store manager, pondered and said, "For an ordinary pharmacist, having the ability to make three bottles of perfect potions a day is enough to become famous in the pharmaceutical industry, and even become a master figure. But... for
For the hero profession, Xiaobai's time itself is an immeasurable wealth, and he probably won't waste all his time on this..."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said: "I need to spend psychic points to activate my insight talent. Just to determine the active ingredients of these medicinal materials, it cost me hundreds of psychic points... With so many psychic points, a bottle costs two to three hundred.
It’s hard to say whether tens of thousands of strengthening potions are worth it. Therefore, it is really difficult to realize large-scale mechanized production.”
Sun Hecheng shook his head and said: "The price of perfect potion is completely different from that of high-quality potion. This bottle of potion of yours can be sold for tens of millions at auction... Of course, for you, you are not lacking.
Earth currency, consuming spiritual energy points to earn tens of millions of earth currency is putting the cart before the horse."
Since there is such a high cost of psychic points and time, then mechanized production is definitely impossible. Sun Hecheng felt inexplicably relieved when he thought this.
Zhang Jing fell into deep thought and said slowly: "However, Xiao Bai's talent can help our pharmacy solve a big problem..."
The expression on Sun Hecheng's face changed: "Teacher, you mean... the competition with Giant Pharmacy? I'm afraid Xiaobai doesn't have that much time. The number of bottles of medicine he can make in a month is probably the limit. With this amount of medicine, for a shop
Say, it’s just a drop in the bucket.”
Zhang Jing shook his head with a smile: "No brainer! How can a perfect medicine with a purity of more than 96% be placed in the front hall and sold in the normal way? We can set a purchase limit! We can sell one or two bottles a week and set up an on-site
At the auction, some media resources were used to promote the name of 'Genius Pharmacy Master', wouldn't the reputation of our super pharmacy store also become popular?"
Sun Hecheng was a little confused.
Zhang Jing turned to Bai Xiaowen: "Xiao Bai... I didn't want to tell you about the competition situation of Giant Pharmacy that you heard before. The situation is indeed very serious. The branches of Giant Pharmacy have been opened.
Chihuo Plaza, it is clear that they are here to grab territory. Moreover, their store has a group of excellent pharmacists who have been trained for many years. They have sufficient supply and complete varieties. We cannot compare with them, so we can only think of other ways. Can you help one?
busy?"
