"Dr. Feng, what is the current status of epiphyseal reactivation technology?"
After watching Uncle Luo and the others leave, Xia Xu went upstairs to the drug molecule laboratory where Feng Wenbin was, and asked directly about the situation.
"No problem. This technology essentially reactivates the epiphysis by injecting a special ingredient. The ingredient structure in the data is very clear. I have already sorted out the preliminary synthesis plan. It's just that the mass production plan still needs time to explore and cooperate with other experts."
When Feng Wenbin saw Xia Xu, he was about to say hello, but when he heard Xia Xu's question, he stopped and answered the question in a serious manner.
"Don't be so serious, Dr. Feng. The laboratory is your territory. I'm just a bystander."
Xia Xu laughed and continued, "That means the epiphyseal restart technology can already be put into use on a small scale, right? Have you done any biological tests?"
"Preliminary tests have been conducted on experimental animals such as mice and rabbits, and the results are quite significant, but they still follow the normal biological development cycle. If converted into the development cycle of the human body, the effect may appear to be slower."
Feng Wenbin relaxed a little, but still looked quite formal. He paused for a moment and added, "In addition, the secretion of growth hormone in adults may stagnate, so it may be necessary to combine growth hormone injection with high nutrition supplementation and other measures."
"That's enough."
Xia Xu nodded slightly.
The epiphysis restart technology is just to restart the epiphysis. It is not a technology to promote growth. It naturally follows the development cycle of the organism.
It may only take about a month for a mouse to grow from birth to adulthood, but it takes humans more than ten years. This is the difference in developmental cycles or life cycles, which depends on various aspects such as genes, body size, and complexity of life forms.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that you have to wait another ten years to grow taller. The period of rapid growth and development of humans is actually only a few years.
What Feng Wenbin meant was simply that it would be difficult to see results within a few days or weeks. Generally speaking, it is normal for humans to grow seven or eight centimeters a year. With scientific growth hormone injections and nutritional intake, it can grow even faster.
"In this case, Dr. Feng, you don't have to worry about the mass production plan. Leave it to the team below. I have another task for you."
Xia Xu pondered.
Any invention, from big to small, from birth to leaving the laboratory, from small-scale production to mass production and low-cost production, is a time-consuming and labor-intensive process.
Countless advanced materials, energy, and technologies do exist today, but they are all in the laboratory or in the process of commercialization.
For example, graphene, which is extremely popular in the field of materials science, and superconducting materials that play a vital role in various fields.
The former is easy to produce on a small scale but there is no suitable mass production process. The superconductivity of the latter is not rare, but it cannot be achieved at room temperature and can usually only be carried out at ultra-low temperatures.
Various emerging things either have defects in themselves and their processes or their costs are high, lack of commercial prospects, etc. Most of them stop at the laboratory in the research and development stage. It is an extremely long process to truly apply and popularize them.
This is the case with the current epiphysis restart technology and even the wolf tribe enhanced serum technology. It is easy to prepare in the laboratory, but finding a suitable solution for mass production and assembly line production will require a massive process and the coordinated cooperation of a large number of experts in different fields.
These can be done by other R&D teams in the company. He is naturally unwilling to waste talents like Feng Wenbin and Gu Haiming on such things that waste their lives and talents.
In fact, he didn't even think much of the dopamine receptor sensitizer that Feng Wenbin got from Carroll Pharmaceuticals. It was just that he hadn't found a suitable project arrangement before.
However, just now when he was in Gu Haiming's laboratory, he had a flash of inspiration and remembered something he had been thinking about.
The Eye of Marseille!
This was a special term he had seen a long time ago from Grant's teammate, a Maasai named Adams.
The Maasai are not only tough people who consider hunting lions as a rite of passage, but their eyesight is so gifted that it can be described as a superpower.
Their general vision can reach 6.0 or even 8.0. They can see objects several kilometers away with the naked eye and have a certain night vision ability.
And this is not an isolated case caused by individual differences, but a common phenomenon. Almost everyone of them has this level of vision.
The first reason is that it comes from their physique, or they do have this gene at the genetic level, and the second reason is that it is a secret medicine circulated within their tribe.
The Maasai people still have a primitive tribal system. In childhood, the tribal elders will apply some traditional secret medicine to improve their vision.
When he saw the entry of the Eye of Marseilles from Adams a long time ago, he actually wondered what would happen if he could figure out the ingredients of the Maasai's secret medicine
In modern technological society, there are too many people with myopia. You can restore your vision by applying some medicine without laser surgery, and you can make a lot of money.
What's more, vision plays a vital role in observation, shooting, etc. The exaggerated vision of the Maasai is no different from a superpower for normal people.
Developing this kind of drug will not only strengthen oneself, but its popularity when sold to the government will definitely not be inferior to that of Violent Heart, and the prospects for civilian use are even brighter.
In the past, he was a powerless high school student who could only worry about such things with a sense of sympathy. But now that the power under his command is of a certain scale, he can naturally try to turn his worries into reality.
"Mr. Xia, it's fine for you to let me study the drug ingredients, but it should be very difficult to get the drug formula from the Maasai, right? And the Black State..."
After listening to Xia Xu's explanation, Feng Wenbin looked embarrassed.
The Maasai are not truly isolated from the world, and this special vision is not a secret. There are definitely many people who have set their eyes on the Maasai secret medicine, but to date, no similar product has been seen on the market, which is enough to explain a lot of things.
Besides, in Heizhou, I heard that the Maasai people are quite simple and honest, but the other Niger people are not like that. You might get robbed and shot, and it is also dangerous to encounter poisonous snakes and fierce beasts on the road.
"Don't worry, I will arrange for an elite team from Xinghai Security to escort you. You don't have to worry about obtaining the secret medicine, Dr. Feng. You mainly need to verify the authenticity of the formula and identify the raw materials."
Xia Xu explained.
The reason for letting Feng Wenbin go was, firstly, to take into account the need to verify the authenticity of the formula in case a deal was reached, and secondly, to gain a more detailed understanding.
After all, primitive tribes have different names for various animals and plants, and the secret medicine seems to require some messy rituals.
Although metaphysics may not be reliable, there may be some coincidences during the process. It would be helpful to have a top expert on the scene to take precautions.
Moreover, all of this is based on the premise that the medicine can be successfully traded from the Maasai. It is obvious that this traditional secret recipe, which is only in the hands of tribal elders, will not be easily leaked.
By then he might not be able to commit murder and robbery, but he would not hesitate to use extraordinary means like stealing skills. This could only fall on Feng Wenbin, after all, he could not rely on a group of rough guys like Zou Jin.
