I accidentally joined a group of charlatans, so I immediately called the police and handed it over t

The palm-sized jade slip was sent to the "Genesis" laboratory, the highest-level laboratory in Base 001.

The moment Chen Xi's finger touched it, the jade slip shone brightly.

A soft curtain of light was projected into the air.

Countless mysterious and complex golden runes, like swimming fish, flowed slowly across the light screen, eventually forming a complete prescription.

"Dragon and Tiger Strengthening Wine"

"Quick! Write it down! Analyze the meaning of each character!"

Su Qingge's voice trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.

The pharmacologists, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and biochemists behind her resembled a group of believers who had witnessed a miracle, their eyes burning with fervent passion.

They were overjoyed and immediately threw themselves into intensive research.

"Incredible... the combination of ingredients in this elixir is simply a stroke of genius!"

A national treasure-level traditional Chinese medicine doctor pointed to a prescription on the light screen, his whole body trembling with excitement.

"The 'dragon bone' is the sovereign, and the 'tiger blood vine' is the minister. One is strong, and the other is gentle; one is yin, and the other is yang. They can actually be harmonized in this way! This... this completely overturns the theoretical system of the 'Compendium of Materia Medica'!"

"And then there's the refining technique: 'tempering with Samadhi True Fire for forty-nine hours,' 'soaking in Nine Heavens Sweet Dew for eighty-one days'... The temperature and humidity control involved is precise to a level we can't comprehend!"

Exclamations of amazement rose and fell throughout the laboratory.

This is more than just a prescription.

This is an encyclopedia of life sciences from a higher civilization.

Its underlying theories and technologies were at least a thousand years ahead of the rest of the world.

Standing behind the glass wall, Li Guobang looked at the group of scientists who were almost insane, and a surge of pride welled up in his heart.

The engine for China's rise has been ignited.

However, after the euphoria, a cold and realistic problem was presented to everyone.

"The minister... has run into trouble."

Su Qingge's voice came through the communicator, carrying a hint of helplessness for the first time.

"We have completely deciphered the formula, but... we can't refine it."

"Why?" Li Guobang's heart sank.

"Medicinal herbs."

Su Qingge magnified the dozens of core medicinal herbs on the light screen and marked them with red circles.

"Look, there's a 'hundred-year-old Solomon's Seal,' a 'thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum,' a 'earth dragon bone imbued with dragon energy,' and a 'heartbreak grass' that has been bathed in lightning tribulation..."

"These medicinal herbs are all rare and precious materials containing immense spiritual energy."

Su Qingge's tone was full of frustration.

"Reiki is essentially a higher-dimensional energy that we haven't yet been able to identify. But on Earth today, where reiki is depleted, these things simply don't exist!"

"We searched through all the Chinese medicinal herbs in the country and found that the oldest ones were no more than fifty years old."

"The medicinal properties are completely different."

The entire project instantly came to a standstill.

They possessed a treasure map that promised immeasurable wealth, but lacked the key to unlock the treasure vault.

The sense of loss, like falling from the clouds to the bottom of a valley, made the atmosphere in the entire command room oppressive.

"Is there really no way out?" a general muttered to himself, his voice filled with resentment.

Everyone fell silent.

This is a generational gap in civilization, a fatal flaw in the environment, and it seems there is no solution.

"No."

A clear and firm voice broke the silence.

It's Su Qingge.

She stood in front of the control panel, her stunningly beautiful face etched with the stubbornness and madness of a scientist.

"I don't believe in superstition."

Su Qingge pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, and her eyes behind the lenses gleamed with a terrifying light.

"Myths are simply science that we have not yet understood."

"Alchemy is nothing more than a more advanced biochemical reaction."

She turned around abruptly and gave an unquestionable order to the team behind her.

"Abandon the 'refining' approach!"

"Starting today, we will use modern technology to 'reverse engineer' this prescription!"

"Group A, use mass spectrometry to analyze the active ingredients and molecular structure of each herb in the prescription!"

"Group B, establish mathematical models to deduce the constant temperature, pressure, and catalytic environment represented by 'Samadhi True Fire' and 'Nine Heavens Sweet Dew'!"

"Group C, break down the entire refining process into tens of thousands of steps, including 'extraction,' 'synthesis,' 'catalysis,' and 'fusion,' and find the core reaction logic within it!"

A high-stakes gamble with mythology has begun.

The entire "Genesis" laboratory entered an unprecedented state of overload operation.

Seven days and seven nights.

Su Qingge and her team haven't slept a wink.

They drink coffee and energy drinks like water, and eat instant nutritional pastes like meals.

Countless failures, countless restarts.

Draft paper piled up like a mountain, and the server overheated and alarmed several times due to overclocking.

Everyone was on the verge of collapse.

Until the early morning of the eighth day.

When Su Qingge compared the results of the 13742nd simulation with the pharmacological model for the final time.

On the screen, two curves that could never have overlapped before miraculously and perfectly overlapped after countless forks!

It worked!

"We...we did it!"

A young researcher looked at the screen, burst into tears of joy, and slumped into his chair.

After a brief period of deathly silence, the entire laboratory erupted in a thunderous roar of cheers.

Su Qingge loosened her clenched fists, swayed, and almost fell over.

A pale yet radiant smile appeared on her face.

She found it.

The key to deciphering the myth has been found.

"minister!"

Su Qingge grabbed the internal communicator leading to the highest command center. Her voice was hoarse with excitement, yet it was filled with a world-shaking power.

"We discovered that the core function of those so-called 'millennial herbs' in the prescriptions is not to provide medicinal power at all."

"They are only there to provide a very special 'biological enzyme' to act as a catalyst for the entire reaction under the high temperature and pressure of the 'Samadhi Fire'!"

Li Guobang's heart began to pound.

"and then?"

"Then," Su Qingge took a deep breath, her eyes shining with a light that illuminated the night.

"We discovered that this 'bio-enzyme' can be completely replaced by artificial synthesis using several common and inexpensive Chinese herbal medicines, such as angelica, licorice, and astragalus, through specific temperature and pressure conditions!"

"The cost is less than one hundred yuan!"

Li Guobang felt his blood was burning.

Modern technology has been used to decipher the immortals' elixir formula.

With a cost of one hundred yuan, they replicated a priceless miracle drug.

This is the wisdom of the Chinese people! This is the power of science!

Su Qingge's voice, like a final thunderclap, exploded in Li Guobang's ears.

"minister!"

"Reverse engineering successful!"

"The first batch of military-grade tonic fluid will soon enter the trial production stage!"
