Chapter 186 Technology and Hard Work, the Power of Industry

The chemical synthesis alchemy method seems very simple.

It's actually not easy at all.

Although Zhang Wei speculated on a very feasible path based on the experience of countless people in his previous life, in the world of cultivating immortals with different laws, no one knows whether it can be successful.

After all, in this world, no one has ever walked this road before.

If there is any genetic lock inside the elixir of this world, then Zhang Wei's idea, no matter how good it is, will fall into disrepute.

But it doesn't matter.

Give it a try.

Zhang Wei and Huaizhu now have sufficient time and resources to try this path that has never been taken before in the world of immortality.

If they can succeed, then future generations will more or less call them master and disciple "Taoist".

It's just that as a pioneer of the new system, Zhang Wei has a different advantage from other real pioneers, that is, he stands on the shoulders of giants.

Hundreds of years of experience accumulated by countless people in previous lives are all in his mind, so he can avoid many detours.

For example, a variety of experimental instruments and production machinery are needed for chemical synthesis of pharmaceuticals.

After Zhang Wei combined the knowledge of weapon refining in the world of immortality, it took less than a year to build the prototype of a laboratory.

All the experimental instruments required for the experiment appeared in the world of immortal cultivation in the form of second-level talismans thanks to the craftsmanship of Zhang Wei, a fourth-level high-level weapon refiner and a third-level mid-level spiritual talisman master.

I just don't know if Zhang Wei's experimental talismans can compare with the precision of those high-precision experimental instruments in his previous life.

After all, Zhang Wei was just a lonely librarian in his previous life, and had never entered any of the internal laboratories of pharmaceutical companies.

But something is better than nothing.

In this way, it took three years for Master Huaizhu to finally understand his apprentice's chemical knowledge.

Zhang Wei couldn't wait to take Huaizhu and made his first attempt at chemical synthesis and alchemy.

In this way, after three days and three nights of sleepless experiments, with the unremitting efforts of two senior monks, Zhang Wei and Huaizhu, the master and the apprentice successfully obtained a bunch of white flowers...

Monosodium glutamate.

It also has another name.

That's MSG.

Of course, this is no ordinary MSG.

This is the immortal version of MSG!

Gululu————

In addition to the recipe, Zhang Wei mixed the soup base and poured two spoonfuls of his own result into the pot.

Immediately, a stream of light air spewed out from the boiling pot, making everyone who smelled it couldn't help but salivate.

This is the special MSG for the Immortal World developed by Zhang Wei based on the market environment of the Immortal Immortal World.

In fact, to put it bluntly, some spiritual energy is injected into the MSG when refining it, and then the MSG is crystallized around the spiritual energy under the action of the machine to form the so-called spiritual MSG.

In fact, to put it bluntly, he is just a fake.

The little spiritual energy locked in the MSG is not enough for a Qi refining monk to practice for one day.

But this small step can ensure that Zhang Wei's MSG will not be cheap.

After all, in the world of immortality, except for things that are helpful for cultivation and longevity, other things will not be too valuable no matter how good they are.

If Zhang Wei only provides ordinary MSG, no matter how good it is, it will be nothing more than a common condiment to the immortal cultivators. From now on, they can only take the low-end route.

Even high-end restaurants won't accept it, and they will even resent your mundane condiments for ruining their brand.

But it will be different if you add some spiritual energy.

Once the MSG melts, the aura wrapped inside will escape, adding a sensory impact to the entire dish.

Let people know it at a glance.

Wow, this thing is incredible, it is indeed the essence of flavor!

So you are willing to pay.

The cost of this step is not high, but the benefits are several times or even ten times higher!

After the MSG completely melted, Zhang Wei took a sip, smacked his lips, and nodded.

"Master, please try it." Zhang Wei said.

"Um."

Huaizhu nodded, then ignored the spoon that was close at hand on the table, and directly took the spoon that Zhang Wei had used.

He still took a sip of the soup, thought about it carefully and said, "It's very fresh!"

Then Huaizhu looked at Zhang Wei and said: "Although I haven't eaten ordinary food for many years, after breaking through the Nascent Soul, I can easily recall the memories of my childhood.

I remember that before I entered the path of cultivating immortals, my father celebrated his sixtieth birthday and invited the chef from the most famous restaurant in the city to cook. At that time, I shared a small bowl of Jinyu Mantang soup. The taste reminded me of it for several nights...

Later I heard that the Golden Jade Mantang Soup was cooked by the spiritual chef with dozens of chickens for a day and a night, during which he also used magic to achieve the effect. However..."

Having said this, Huaizhu paused and said with some emotion: "When I come to Zijie, I only need two spoons of MSG.

Two spoonfuls of MSG can equal the result of a day and night of hard work by a spiritual chef, making it possible for ordinary mortal chefs to prepare spiritual meals.

I have to say, Zijie, you really made something incredible! "

Zhang Wei was immediately embarrassed by Huaizhu's compliment.

He quickly said: "I didn't create this, I just reproduced it by standing on the shoulders of giants."

But for these words, Huaizhu only thought that Zhang Wei was being self-effacing.

Huaizhu has seen everything Zhang Wei has done over the years.

If she really stood on the shoulders of giants and reappeared, then let's not talk about why she had never heard of the existence of such a thing.

Let's just say that Zhang Wei failed hundreds of times when he first refined those so-called experimental instruments. What did it mean?

Although these instruments are complicated, in the final analysis they are nothing more than second-level talismans.

She knew the level of weapon refining of her disciples.

Zhang Wei could pinch a bunch of second-level magic weapons with his eyes closed at that time, so how could he still fail so many times?

So it must have been developed by Zhang Wei himself.

At most, you can just refer to other people's experiences.

So all in all, her Zijie is still the best!

"You, you, are still so humble."

Huaizhu smiled and shook his head, then looked at the plate of white crystals next to him and sighed: "But once this MSG comes out, I don't know how many spiritual chefs in the Qixing Sea will lose their jobs..."

"The pain of the development of the times..."

Zhang Wei couldn't help but sigh.

In fact, it is not just the so-called spiritual MSG. Zhang Wei also plans to reproduce all the seasonings that appeared in his previous life, so that immortal cultivators can also feel the power of so-called technology and hard work.

If this is normal, once MSG comes out and there is a more convenient and cheaper source of umami, restaurants will inevitably lay off employees to reduce operating costs and thereby obtain greater profits.

There is no way, the market is just that big.

Even though the environment here in Dongzhou is much better than that in the Five Realms, there are still only a few immortal cultivators who can go to restaurants regularly to spend money.

Unless these laid-off chefs are willing to downgrade themselves and start their own businesses like some small restaurant owners in Zhang Wei's previous life, using low prices and their own skills in exchange for the favor of lower-level monks, the only thing waiting for them is to change careers.

Of course, there is another way.

Make the cake bigger!

Utilize the labor force of the high-quality people who are cultivators, thereby increasing their income, so that in addition to cultivating and improving their realm, they also have extra money to enjoy!

Of course, during this period, as the boss, it wouldn't be too much for him to extract 40 to 50% of the value from the other party's labor, right?

"The ocean... contains infinite wealth and possibilities!" Zhang Wei looked toward the outside of Venus Island with burning eyes, as if he wanted to see the rippling blue sea through the distance.

Zhang Wei knew that the vast ocean contained countless wealth and possibilities.

Not to mention anything else, just relying on Zhang Wei's development of marine resources in his previous life, once it is deployed, it can feed a lot of people.

Unfortunately, the rules of the world of immortality are different from those in Zhang Wei's previous life.

In Zhang Wei's previous life, the human family was the dominant one, but in this world of immortality.

The ocean is the homeland of the Kraken!

Even in the surrounding sea areas, the human race occupied major islands and thrived, but in terms of the vast ocean, they occupied less than one percent of the territory.

The Kraken are not going to watch you dig wells and build infrastructure on top of their heads without doing anything.

If Zhang Wei really comes up to develop the marine industry, the Krakens have countless ways to make him lose all his money!

Therefore, this matter needs to be considered in the long term.

At this time, Zhang Wei slapped his forehead and thought, "Why are you thinking so much? My initial goal in engaging in chemical synthesis and alchemy was to mass-produce high-level elixirs to assist me in my cultivation.

Why do you think of infrastructure construction and people's livelihood when you start thinking about it? Could it be that the bloodline of the infrastructure madman in my previous life has awakened? Want to play with a real-life city skyline? "

Zhang Wei shook his head with a wry smile, as if he was laughing at himself for being so ambitious.

But I kept this idea in mind.

Maybe one day, this seed will sprout and bloom brilliantly.

Then, in the following days, Zhang Wei and Huaizhu began further research on chemical synthesis of alchemy.

After developing a variety of chemically synthesized seasonings, Zhang Wei and Huaizhu finally summed up enough experience, and then began to refine the first elixir.

Tempering Spirit Pill.

An ordinary first-level middle-grade elixir has a certain effect on increasing the cultivation of Qi Refining monks. It is one of the most commonly used elixirs by the monks at the bottom of the Seven Star Sea and even several surrounding sea areas.

Almost every Qi refining monk spends a budget to buy a bottle for personal use every year.

And with the huge population base of low-level cultivators, the major forces are making a lot of money every year just by selling Spirit Tempering Pills.

This is still in short supply.

After all, there are only a few alchemists.

And if Zhang Wei and Huaizhu analyze the material composition of the Quenching Spirit Pill and successfully synthesize it chemically.

That is equivalent to holding the key to financial freedom.

In addition, the quality of this elixir is very low, and there are many raw materials. There is no need to store and use it like the Thunder Holy Origin Fruit.

Therefore, masters and apprentices Huaizhu and Zhang Wei regarded it as their first target to practice.

At this stage, even Zhang Wei cannot take shortcuts at this moment.

After all, no matter how complete the knowledge in his library is, it is impossible to record the method of making a first-class medium-grade elixir in the world of immortality.

So the two masters and apprentices could only experiment over and over again.

The work was tedious and boring, and the road ahead was confusing, even the two high-level immortal cultivators were a bit overwhelmed.

After all, they don’t have a God-given reward system, and they don’t see much positive feedback from scientific research. In the early stages, they can only use a large number of experiments and exhaustive methods to implement it over and over again. This is the most despairing thing.

But fortunately, Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu did not gain nothing.

Although they did not make any major breakthroughs in scientific research, their state of mind and spiritual consciousness were tempered through repeated experiments and failures.

This so-called tempering would probably only make people laugh in Zhang Wei's previous life.

But in this world with extraordinary power, this tempering further transformed the spiritual consciousness of the master and apprentice.

Under the influence of this strange power, Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu did not delay their practice because of scientific research. Instead, some of the previous difficulties in practice were solved by themselves.

Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu were surprised to find this.

Although there is no prospect in the road of scientific research, it is not a loss to make progress in cultivation. At least there is motivation for people to continue.

During the experiment, Zhang Wei also discovered a lot of elements that did not exist or have not been discovered in his previous life.

If these discoveries are published, it is tantamount to throwing a Tsar bomb in the scientific research circle.

Unfortunately, in this world of immortal cultivation, no one will share this joy.

Except for his master Huaizhu, no one understands what this means.

In this way, time passed day after day, year after year.

In the seventh year of the chemical synthesis experiment of Qulingdan, that is, the tenth year since Zhang Wei proposed the concept of chemical synthesis alchemy...

With the humming sound of the machine, hundreds of snow-white pills were spit out from the exit, and a special medicinal fragrance gradually spread, occupying the entire alchemy room.

If you smell it from the medicinal fragrance, this is indeed a genuine Qulingdan.

But Zhang Wei and Huaizhu were not happy, because reaching this step did not mean success.

In the past seven years, they have synthesized many pills with similar pill fragrance, but the actual effect is completely different from Qulingdan.

Most of them have become waste pills, and some are even poisonous!

Only a small number of them have the effect of Qulingdan, but the effect is very poor, and it is not worth mass production at all. It can only be used as a reference for Zhang Wei and Huaizhu to continue to work hard in the corresponding direction.

At the moment when the "Quenling Pill" was released, Huaizhu on the side immediately pushed an iron cage covered with forbidden runes, in which a demon cultivator who could not move was lying.

The second step of chemical synthesis alchemy is clinical experiment.

"This is the 37th one, right?" Zhang Wei muttered.

"I hope it will succeed this time..."

Zhang Wei waved his hand, and a "Quenling Pill" flew out and went directly into the mouth of the demon cultivator. Then, under the effect of Zhang Wei's magic power, it immediately turned into a medicinal power in the body of the demon cultivator.

The demon cultivator's eyes widened, and then his body began to tremble. However, under the care of a Jindan and a Yuanying, this demon cultivator who was only in the late stage of Qi Refining could not make any waves.

At this moment, Zhang Wei and Huaizhu released all their divine thoughts, carefully scanning every inch of the demon cultivator's body and every tendon, not missing any changes after the other party took the pill.

Finally, after an hour, the demon cultivator completely digested the power of the Soul Refining Pill, and Zhang Wei and Huai Zhu did not see any adverse reactions from the demon cultivator.

They even felt that the spiritual power in the other party's body had become more condensed!

"Success...success?"

Huai Zhu said excitedly.

"We need to change some samples for another experiment."

Zhang Wei suppressed his excitement and found a few more demon cultivators to do the same. After changing ten people and confirming that there were no problems, he finally let go of his hanging heart!

"Success!"

A happy smile appeared at the corner of Zhang Wei's mouth.

Then, the smile became more and more unbridled!

"Hahahaha! Success!"

Zhang Wei excitedly hugged Huai Zhu beside him, jumping and shouting: "Master, we succeeded! We succeeded!"

Huai Zhu was also very excited.

Seven years of hard work, thousands of failures, and now it finally bears fruit!

They finally mastered the chemical synthesis of the Soul Refining Pill!

Although it was only a first-class medium-grade elixir, this success also proved that the chemical synthesis alchemy method proposed by her disciple was feasible!

If the Quling Pill can be made by chemical synthesis, then more advanced elixirs must be possible!

Realizing elixir freedom is not a dream, and achieving wealth freedom with elixir is also not a dream.

And she, Huaizhu, can also go further and higher with this chemical synthesis alchemy method, and it is not impossible to leave a name in the history of the immortal world one day!

And all this is because of her apprentice!

So Huaizhu hugged Zhang Wei directly, held him in her arms and ravaged him hard to vent her excitement.

"Yes, Zijie, we succeeded!"

Zhang Wei was held in Huaizhu's arms, feeling the other party's amazing softness, but this time he did not react as intensely and sensitively as before.

After all, the ten years of getting along day and night are not fake.

The long-term companionship made him less wary of Huaizhu.

Years of hard work finally paid off, and it is normal to hug him and vent when you are emotional.

Anyway, I won't suffer any loss, so I'll just let the master hold me.

Zhang Wei thought so in his heart.

Seeing that Zhang Wei didn't resist, Huaizhu felt a different kind of happiness in his heart, which was different from the success of the experiment.

Two happinesses added together, double happiness!

There is no way. If Zhang Wei had not been hurt in love and had been taken by the evil witch, Huaizhu would not have to go through so much trouble.

She had already gone A.

Why wait until now?

She was worried that if she asked Zhang Wei to be her Taoist partner directly, Zhang Wei would think that she was another bad woman who had thoughts about his body, and would find an opportunity to sneak away.

So Huaizhu had no choice but to resort to this last resort, using a subtle way to slowly let Zhang Wei let go of his grudges, and then complete the transformation from the master's disciple to the master's Taoist partner!

This is Huaizhu's strategy for Zhang Wei!

"If it weren't for that evil witch, I would have gone to Wushan with Zijie to have sex, why would I be so deliberate? Don't let me know who hurt Zijie, otherwise I will definitely make you look good!"

Huaizhu reluctantly let Zhang Wei go, thinking so in her heart.

After landing, Zhang Wei looked at his achievements and said: "According to the current technology, the same materials can be used to produce ten times more Quenching Pills than the traditional alchemy method by chemical synthesis, and the quality is extremely stable, and the bad pill rate is extremely low. In a word, the Quenching Pill rate of chemical synthesis is at least ten times that of the traditional alchemy method.

And the speed is very fast. Now if I build a production line, as long as the raw materials are supplied, the number of Quenching Pills produced in a day can be conservatively 10,000, and the production efficiency is equivalent to the result of a thousand first-level alchemists working hard for a day."

Speaking of this, Zhang Wei stopped talking, and Huaizhu, who was standing beside him, was also full of emotion after listening to Zhang Wei's calculations.

"Is this... the power of industry that you said, Zijie?"

I originally wanted to add more chapters during the Dragon Boat Festival, but my project applied for an award, and the company leaders and government leaders are coming to observe and evaluate, so I am very busy during this period and don't have much time to write.

But my saved draft is about to be continued, and I will make up for it in two days.
