Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

This brings us to their relationship.

Ever since Miyazaki Yu saved Morita Einobu, things have taken a subtle turn. The head of the Morita family has developed an extremely strong interest in the supernatural realm.

However, those powerful individuals with extraordinary abilities are not easily accessible; they live hidden outside the secular world, and Miyazaki Yu is the only extraordinary person he knows.

As astute as he was, he immediately recognized the immense value of this relationship.

So he secretly contacted Miyazaki Yu, and the two reached a cooperation agreement. He was willing to use a large amount of money as support to get Miyazaki Yu to cooperate with him.

In fact, at the very beginning, what he considered cooperation was only a superficial one. It meant that when the Morita family encountered difficulties, this great swordsman would once again step in to help them out of trouble.

It was precisely because of this that Miyazaki Yu had a large amount of money and the support of various instruments and equipment, enabling him to complete the construction of his own building in the Sword Masters' Guild in such a short period of time. Some things cannot be easily accomplished simply by having money.

But to his surprise, Miyazaki Yu gave him a huge surprise: research data on human physiology!

This also aroused in him an endless longing!

The yearning for a longer life!

Chapter 367 Research Results (3rd Update!)

As a member of the government, he personally voted on the proposal for this project, and it was eventually passed.

He witnessed the beginning of the project firsthand, but that was all.

Although he wields considerable influence and is a member of the government, there is still a huge gap between him and having real access to the core secrets. The research results of the entire project are protected with extreme secrecy, making it virtually impossible to learn the secrets.

However, he did not expect that not long ago, this Miyazaki swordsman would suddenly come to his door and hand him a research document.

He hadn't paid much attention at first, thinking that Miyazaki Yu was just short of money for his research project. But after he had someone study the contents, he was shocked.

This document is clearly the content of the human data research that the government is currently conducting!

This surprised and delighted him.

The difference between the rich and the poor is never just a difference in wealth, but more so a difference in social resources, and even more so a difference in the order in which resources are enjoyed.

When many new things appear, it is always the rich who enjoy them first, before it is the poor's turn.

It's like a miracle drug; when it first came out, it was incredibly expensive, something the poor could never afford and could only watch helplessly as it was released.

The poor can only wait for the patent to expire and for the drug to be widely copied before the price can be brought down to a relatively affordable level, and only then will they have the opportunity to buy the drug.

This difference in time could very well be the difference between the lives of one or two generations!

As times have progressed, ordinary people have indeed been living better and better lives, but the absolute difference between them and the rich has not decreased, but rather has been increasing.

The difference that is even harder to accept is the difference in lifespan.

The wealthy can enjoy more and better medical services, and any disease can be detected and diagnosed early. They are also among the first to benefit from the latest effective drugs.

But for the rich, none of these are the most attractive things. What is most attractive is always the ultimate human desire: immortality!

Just like why Qin Shi Huang sought immortality and Taoism, and why the Jiajing Emperor refined elixirs, they all wanted to achieve immortality. They already possessed everything, so they wanted to hold onto it forever!

After seeing this research data, he guessed what Miyazaki Yu meant: that they could also conduct their own human physiology research without the government's involvement!

This is not just his imagination, but something that is actually feasible.

Moreover, it has two advantages. First, with this research data, they don't need to invest huge amounts of capital in the early stages to study these basic data bit by bit, which saves a lot of time and money.

What's even more ingenious is that Miyazaki Yu, the most important research subject, is no longer easily controlled by the government due to her formidable strength. In other words, their research on Miyazaki Yu's physical data cannot be too frequent.

However, this situation does not exist if one is researching oneself. One can even leverage Miyazaki Yu's connections to get those unruly swordsmen to participate in data collection as well. With a large sample size, the research difficulty in Kyoto will be greatly reduced.

Even more powerful is that after learning how Miyazaki Hayao obtained the data, Morita Eishin immediately realized that they could know the government's research direction and progress at any time.

This means their research now has a control group that they don't have to put in any effort!

It's important to understand that research is often like a blind man riding a blind horse; if the research direction is wrong, no amount of effort will be of any use.

Having access to information about the government's research progress allows for comparison, enabling individuals to identify their own shortcomings or strengths—a win-win situation.

"Uncle Morita, you're too kind. I'm not here to ask for money. It's just that my research has made a small progress."

He placed a small box on the table, opened it, and inside was a small medicine bottle filled with a pale blue liquid.

"This is..." Morita Eishin was taken aback.

"This is a drug that I developed in my laboratory. It is prepared by diluting a neurotoxin. A small amount can greatly stimulate the heart and brain, and it has special effects on patients with cardiac arrest and patients who have become vegetative."

This is the result of the research conducted by Ai Haibara, Makoto Asai, and Hayao Miyazaki over this period of time.

In Miyazaki Yu's first battle with Orenello, he was seriously injured and in a very dangerous situation. It was Ran who made a quick decision to have a snake bite Miyazaki Yu and use the snake venom to stimulate him and wake him up.

When Ai Haibara got to this, she became very interested in the venom of the white snake. After obtaining some venom from Miyazaki Yu, she began to study it.

Despite the involvement of Miyazaki Hayao and the dedicated efforts of Asai Makoto, who lived in the research institute, progress on this research was not rapid.

Things took a turn for the better after the attack on the Sword Masters Guild.

That's because the corpses of those cyborgs played a role.

During a routine examination, Makoto Asai made an unexpected discovery: the corpses contained a special active enzyme that was not synthesized by the human body but was injected later in life.

So she extracted a small dose from the corpse for animal experiments, and the results showed that after the animals were injected with this enzyme, their muscle mass increased significantly, and it had a particularly strong effect on cardiopulmonary function.

However, this enzyme has an extremely complex structure, and its preparation is extremely difficult, requiring many years of research.

However, at this moment, things took an unexpected turn. After seeing Ai Haibara's research data on snake venom, Makoto Asai suddenly discovered that the activity similarity between snake venom and this enzyme was surprisingly close. After the two were mixed, the enzyme, which was originally very inactive, began to become extremely active.

After Ai Haibara and Yu Miyazaki learned of this, they were greatly surprised, and the three of them began to work together.

They later discovered that adding trace amounts of active enzymes to snake venom serum could form a new protein that contained trace amounts of toxicity but was harmless to humans.

However, it can greatly stimulate the heart and brain, reactivating them.

Although human trials have not yet been conducted, these results are already sufficient!

Morita Eishin's eyes lit up immediately. He hadn't expected that his investment would already be paying off so soon. He was certain that this drug would cause a huge stir once it entered the market!

Not only can it bring huge benefits to the Morita Foundation, but it can also provide a continuous stream of prestige!

"That's great. Well, the experimental team you mentioned before has been set up. They will follow your team's arrangements completely, and they will only communicate by phone, existing solely as verification test subjects."

Miyazaki Yu smiled inwardly. What a cunning old fox who wouldn't act until he saw the benefits. If he hadn't taken out this bottle of medicine, the other party would never have so readily provided him with an experimental team.

There's nothing he can do about it. He only has three people under him who can conduct research, and he also needs to train. Ai Haibara is focusing on the research of APXX-4869.

Moreover, if she were to do all the repeated experiments and the calculation of a large amount of data during the trials, she wouldn't need to do anything else.

In that case, only Makoto Asai remains, and even if he puts all his energy into it, he still won't be able to support a large project.

So Miyazaki Hayao came up with this method, which is to test contracting.

All experiments that do not involve core secrets are handed over to external teams, which are essentially just tools, like calculators in their hands.

They only need to provide research ideas and directions, acting merely as decision-makers and reviewers, thus freeing them from a large number of redundant experiments.

However, this still carries the risk of leaks, and recruiting experimenters would certainly attract the government's attention. Only by doing this through the Morita family's pharmaceutical company can they leave no trace.

Chapter 368 Training Clothes and Breathing Techniques

After reaching an agreement with this old fox, Miyazaki Yu didn't linger and left without a trace. The Morita family's seemingly tight security system remained completely unresponsive.

Then, for a period of time afterward, he began to work on this matter. Due to the need for confidentiality, this matter could not be entrusted to others and required his personal arrangement.

The advantages of having a large conglomerate in your hands are evident; you can have money and manpower whenever you want. The research team he mentioned was in place in just a few days.

Pharmacological tests were then conducted on the medicine provided by Miyazaki Yu.

The test results excited the entire team.

"President Morita, after our testing, this compound drug does indeed have extraordinary effects on the heart and brain. In the first trial, we conducted three control group mouse experiments, and all of them achieved very satisfactory results."

We then tested it on a large dog, and it's working now with no noticeable side effects.

In this way, we can quickly begin human trials, and once the human trials are successful, mass production will be just a matter of time.

This greatly reassured Morita Nagayuki. It seemed that this chemical agent did indeed have powerful effects, which meant that his biopharmaceutical company could launch a flagship product.

It is even quite possible that this drug will become a revolutionary product!

This is not wishful thinking or a pipe dream; it is a real thing.

It is important to know that drug development is one of the most difficult research areas in the world. Even the world's leading and globally renowned pharmaceutical companies generally do not easily undertake the development of a drug.

First of all, the investment is simply too huge. From determining the research direction to conducting pathological research, there are more than a dozen key steps, each of which is extremely difficult and costs a lot of money.

Spending more than a decade to research a new drug is standard practice, and it's common to spend even several decades.

Moreover, even if the research is completed, due to the huge investment, the drugs that are first sold are often extremely expensive, and only the truly wealthy can afford them, which often leads to a barrage of criticism.

Another point is the patent duration. The patent protection period for a drug is generally only about 20 years from the time it is launched on the market. Once this period is exceeded, other pharmaceutical companies will definitely produce imitations, which will cause the profits of exclusive sales to plummet.

Breaking even within twenty years is no easy feat.

However, with the basic drug developed by Miyazaki Hayao, many steps can be omitted, allowing direct entry into animal testing. Moreover, because the testing process is exceptionally smooth, it will soon be able to proceed to human testing.

Once human trials are completed, the drug can be officially launched on the market. This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the Morita family over the past six months, and it can even greatly boost the very depressed stock price. After all, such positive news is definitely an earthquake in the stock market!

"In the name of the Morita Group, we will secretly transport a batch of advanced research equipment into Miyazaki Kengo's territory. That would be a small token of our appreciation."

Watching his subordinates' departing figures, Morita Eishin's gaze was deep and thoughtful, though it was unclear what he was thinking.

"Sink your strength inward. The more you exert force, the more you need to sink it into your body. There should be no leakage. You must keep up with the rhythm of your breathing. Breath and strength are closely related. External force needs to come from the feet, while internal strength is condensed from the breath."

In the early morning, in the main hall of the Miyazaki family home, three figures were diligently training according to the methods taught by Miyazaki Yu.

Rena, Ai, and Ran all had beads of sweat on their faces, especially Ai, who was the smallest and weakest, making the exercise particularly strenuous for her.

Moreover, all three girls were wearing very special clothes, which Miyazaki had specially made at a high price.

This garment has two distinctive features. The first is its weight. The entire garment has dedicated strip pockets on the front and back, which are used to hold weights. Once the opening of the small pocket is sealed, the entire garment becomes a weighted garment.

What's even better is that the weight of the entire garment is adjustable, allowing you to increase or decrease the load as needed to achieve the best training results.

The second feature is the close fit and elasticity of this garment. The entire exterior of the garment, especially the upper and lower sections at the joints, has binding straps. After tightening and securing the two sections, you can open the zipper at the top to insert special elastic bands.

The tension created by several elastic bands is actually quite considerable, so to make each movement natural and smooth, you have to go all out.

The added weight and the tension of the elastic bands make wearing this training uniform a truly miserable experience.

However, as the exercise continued, the effects gradually became apparent.
