"That's it."
The so-called "they" refers to the "Melande Foundation", a leading giant investment institution in Colombia.
This foundation is also the largest investor of Rhine Life Company besides the state officials!
Finalize everything.
When everyone went about their own business and Luo Cheng was the only one left in the room, he muttered to himself, "The long and tragic opera caused by the Originium in the Terra world should come to an end."
The good show started by me is about to begin!!
Chapter 23: Drug Testing, Melander Foundation
"Do you really believe that?"
call!
The off-road vehicle sped through the wilderness without a clear road, and the air currents from the speeding vehicle blew up a few withered yellow tumbleweeds.
Except for the hot woman driving the car, the other two people in the car were looking at the scenery along the way with a bit of melancholy in their minds.
"If possible, I hope it's true... If it's true, it would be great." In response to his subordinates' questions, the highest-ranking tin man rubbed his metal face with his fingers.
But... everyone knows that this is almost impossible.
Things like special medicines that can quickly cure mineralogy are basically from the mouths of crappy scammers and in the bedtime books that parents read to their children to put them to sleep.
As an immortal species that has lived for more than thousands of years, the Tin People have seen too many wars and tragedies caused by mineral diseases. They also know better than ordinary people what kind of earth-shaking changes the world will face if there really is a specific medicine.
Precisely because it is clear, it is more difficult for him to believe than ordinary people.
However, the person who contacted him this time was no small figure. He was one of the founders and directors of Rhine Life. The weight of this identity was enough for him to take it seriously even if he said some "talking in his sleep".
In addition, the other party had provided him with a lot of help in the process of recovering the fragments of the Flame Demon. Although the two had never met for the sake of confidentiality, he only knew the other party's identity a few days ago when the other party mentioned it on his own initiative.
Due to his status and past friendship, even though he felt it was ridiculous, he still reported the matter to his superior organization, the Melander Foundation, as required.
After reading the Tin Man's report, the senior management of Melander also felt that the idea of a specific medicine for oripathy was a bit ridiculous, but... what if?
After thinking about it, the senior management came up with a good idea.
Since it is you who submitted the report, let your Melander Historical Association be responsible for this contact.
If it works, you are a subordinate organization of the foundation, and the foundation will benefit in the end. If it doesn't work, then it's not the foundation that's been fooled, but a subordinate organization that made a foolish decision, making everyone laugh.
If it works, I'll get the lion's share of the benefits. If it fails, you'll have to take the blame.
"Even if it's not a cure, it would be good if it can suppress the disease more effectively than other drugs on the market..." another person in the car whispered.
He was tall and muscular, and looked like he could kill three cows with one punch, but the strong man's eyes were full of death, with only a glimmer of hope struggling to stay extinguished.
If you pull back the tightly covered collar, you can see Originium crystals embedded in his neck.
He is infected, and his condition has progressed to the advanced stage. He has at most one year to live.
As an employee of the Melander Foundation, his income is very considerable, but it is a drop in the bucket when invested in the bottomless pit of oripathy treatment. More effective drugs and advanced treatment methods are all big money-burners.
But no matter how much you delay, death will eventually catch up with you.
That's because he is rich. If he had been like most ordinary people and used conventional treatments that were almost placebo-like, he would probably have died years ago.
As a bodyguard of a high-ranking figure, while on duty at the foundation, he accidentally heard his boss talking about the gossip that "someone said she had a special medicine that could completely cure oripathy." As he was close to death, he took the initiative to apply to go.
This is also the reason why he, who is not a member of the Historical Society, appears here.
After the sturdy man finished speaking, the car fell into silence for a long time.
The topic of life and death was always too heavy, whether for the lady driving the car, whose life span was much lower than that of ordinary Terrans due to her race, or for the Tin Man who had witnessed countless ups and downs. For a moment, none of them had the interest to chat.
For the next few dozen minutes, the only sounds in the car were the engine sound of the SUV and the sound of wind and sand hitting the glass.
until……
"We're here." After driving through a long wilderness, they finally saw human figures.
At the end of the sight is a man and a woman.
The man was a teenager who looked to be about 16 years old, with delicate features and no obvious racial characteristics.
The woman was the 'old acquaintance' whom he had never met offline, the director of Rhine Life Ecology Department, Muir Seth.
There were no means of transportation around. The two sat on white chairs that looked like they were made of bones, with a round table of the same material in front of them.
There were three empty chairs, obviously prepared for their guests.
The SUV drove to a place not far from the round table. The driver turned off the car, and the three of them got out and walked to Luo Cheng and the other person.
"Good afternoon, everyone from Melander. I am Luo Cheng, the main inventor of the Holy Healing Potion." Luo Cheng stood up to greet them.
"As for the person next to me, I'm sure everyone is familiar with him, so I won't introduce him to you in detail."
"You can call me Tin Man. I belong to the Melander Historical Association, an organization affiliated to the Melander Foundation. This is Holhaiya, my subordinate, and George, the special envoy from the foundation." As the leader, Tin Man shook hands with Luo Cheng in a friendly manner.
Although he thought the so-called potion was just a "fairy tale", the Tin Man found it particularly strange that they chose to meet in this uninhabited wilderness within a hundred miles.
But the Tin Man was a little curious about how the next play would unfold.
After a polite greeting, he led everyone to take a seat. As soon as he sat down on the chair, Luo Cheng got straight to the point and said, "Everyone, your time is very valuable, so I won't beat around the bush. This is my medicine."
To the Tin Man's surprise, he originally thought that the boy would talk about this and that like those business people, but he didn't expect that he would just hit the ball straight out.
Watching Luo Cheng take out the glass medicine bottle directly from his pocket and place it on the table.
It contained ten crystal clear blue translucent pills, which looked as gorgeous as gems under the midday sun.
This made the Tin Man feel a little uneasy.
Could it be... is it true?
No, it's not possible...
"Ten pills for a course of treatment. After taking them, the oripathy will be completely cured, and you will have a certain resistance to the erosion of lower-intensity Originium energy for the rest of your life... In other words, you will be immune to oripathy to a certain extent."
"After taking the medicine, the active ingredients in the medicine will decompose the Originium crystals in the patient's body. This can be dangerous for patients whose Originium crystals are distributed in sensitive parts of the body, such as the heart, brain, and spine. Therefore, we recommend taking the medicine every five days. The ingredients in the medicine will decompose while the treatment is being carried out, so the related risks will be minimized."
"Of course, if the patient is on the verge of death and cannot wait that long, it is OK to take all ten pills at once. However, a professional medical team must be deployed nearby to prevent the rapid decomposition of the Originium crystals from causing massive internal and external bleeding, shock, etc."
The series of long sentences contained a huge amount of information which caught Xiren and others off guard. Luo Cheng's expression was serious and earnest, and he did not seem to be joking.
"...That's too exaggerated." George, the sturdy man next to him, couldn't help but interrupt.
As a person who has been taking medicine for many years, he can be considered a doctor through his experience with illnesses over time and has some knowledge of the various mineral disease treatment drugs currently available.
If what Luo Cheng said was true, then the technical content of the bottle of medicine on the table was so high that it was unimaginable!
It has far surpassed the present era!
In response to the doubt, Luo Cheng, who had expected it, just smiled and said, "You can try it yourself... If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Special Envoy, you are an infected person, right? Take ten pills together, and they will work immediately. Don't worry about safety. I am still somewhat confident in first aid."
He glanced at Luo Cheng's confident smile, then looked at the tin man who had lived beside him for a long time and was unfathomable in his heart, and he hesitated for a moment.
Then, he reached for the medicine bottle.
"Mr. George!" Holhaiya couldn't help but exclaimed.
"Okay... I'll try!" Ignoring Hol Haiya, he looked into Luo Cheng's eyes. He could not find anything except sincerity in the other person's gaze.
George didn't think any con man would be so despicable.
Maybe... it's true?
The approaching death made him just one step away from complete madness.
For George, who only has one year left to live, no matter if the probability is one in ten or one in a hundred, as long as there is the slightest possibility that it is true, he will give it a try!
Unscrew the medicine bottle and swallow all ten pills in one breath!
A few seconds later...
"Oh... um... ahhhhhh!" George was seen covering his chest with a look of pain.
The already strong muscles on his body expanded even more!
The painful feeling made him unable to help but tear off his clothes, revealing the Originium crystal that was originally covered on his neck.
The Originium crystal was actually melting at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Blood overflowed from the wound caused by the loss of crystals, and then granulation tissue surged in the wound, and rapidly dividing totipotent stem cells were repairing the body.
An incredible miracle happened before his eyes. Horhaiya couldn't help but tremble all over and breathe rapidly. The Tin Man felt that his brain was overloaded and he almost stopped thinking!
Really...
medicine……
It turned out to be true! !
Luo Cheng, on the other hand, looked forward to the birth of the first 'victim' of the Holy Healing Potion on the land of Terra.
This is truly a moment worth remembering.
Chapter 24: Special Medicine? Or Super Soldier Potion?
His fingers stroked his neck, over and over again.
Smooth and flat, this is a feeling I haven't felt since I was 18.
The noose of death that was tied around his throat really disappeared!
Tears blurred my vision and no matter how I wiped them away, I couldn't stop them.
There is great terror between life and death.
The huge rock that had been weighing on his heart was shattered along with the Originium crystal. Now George felt more relaxed than ever before, as if his whole body was filled with endless strength!
No... not as if!
George clenched his fist and swung it quickly.
It was just a swing of the fist, but it created a gust of wind, like the air current caused by a passing high-speed train!
"5 times..." Without any detection equipment, he could clearly sense how much his strength had increased.
Not only that, he could clearly feel every muscle and every organ in the body, just like the "inner vision" in the Yan Kingdom legend.
In George's 'vision', not only did the Originium crystals on his internal organs disappear, but even his kidneys and other organs that had been weakened by long-term medication and had occasional pains became better than ever before.
The metabolic capacity is far greater than before.
"What is this?!" George and the Tin Man asked in unison.
Anyone with eyesight can see that George's strength has increased. This phenomenon is no longer within the scope of mineralogy treatment, right? !
"As we all know, people infected with Ore Disease have a higher adaptability to Originium skills than ordinary people. The power of their spells is more convenient and greater than that of ordinary people. All of this comes from the Originium crystals in their bodies." Luo Cheng did not hesitate to tell Melander and his men about some of the healing mechanisms of the Holy Healing Potion.
"As a highly condensed product of Originium energy, the energy contained in Originium crystals is enormous and can bring a lot of power to the infected. However, if the infected person is a layman in Originium skills, when they are close to death, the uncontrollable energy in their bodies will run wild, which will not only cause the surrounding environment to be destroyed and cause casualties, but the huge amount of Originium energy leaked will also corrode the bodies of the people around them and create new Ore Disease infected people."
"Then the question is, this much energy will not disappear out of thin air. How should the potion deal with it when it breaks the source stone crystals?"
"Leaked out? Wouldn't that be similar to the rampage phenomenon in the late stage of oripathy? It would be too dangerous for the people around."
"I think that instead of wasting it, we should use this power. The method of use is a trade secret, so it is not convenient to explain in detail. You can understand that after taking 'Holy Healing', a kind of Originium skill will be solidified in your body. It will continuously convert all the Originium energy in your body into physical energy, strengthening your physical strength. It will last until the end of your life. This is also the general principle why after taking my medicine, the cured person will have lifelong immunity to mineral sickness."
Of course, it was impossible for Luo Cheng to make all the information about special cells public and transparent, so he explained it to everyone in a way that was easy for the Terrans to understand.
"By the way, according to my estimate, if the user of the drug continues to live in a place with a high Originium energy content, such as an Originium mine... he will be able to reach the physical fitness enhancement limit of the Holy Healing Potion in about three years, which is 72 times the average physical fitness of Terrans!"
The Tin Man did a quick mental calculation of the approximate figures.
...This is several times higher than those large-scale construction machinery used to open mountains and dig canals!
Moreover, this kind of strengthening is all-round. Not only strength, but also the body's flexibility and nerve reflex speed have been enhanced to varying degrees.
The actual combat power generated is much stronger than that of clumsy machines.
"Of course, if you are willing to spend more money and inject Originium solution into your body, then you will probably be able to reach the limit of physical strengthening in a month or two."
The Tin Man, who had traveled through a long history, and George, who had been through many battles, both of them couldn't help but think of the same word.
