After that, Richard recreated a glass tube dose of medicine according to the process he was already familiar with.
When the preparation was completed, the sweet and fragrant smell of the potion wafted away. Richard saw Pandora lying on the bed with her nose twitching and looking ready to move. He immediately blocked the glass tube with a cork to prevent the smell from continuing. Spread, Pandora twisted her body slightly and calmed down.
Richard breathed a sigh of relief, walked out quickly with the potion, and began to conduct experiments according to the plan.
The first subjects of the experiment were the rats and mice in the courtyard.
It is said that as various experiments were carried out, Richard discovered that the number of mice was plummeting. Except for those who "sacrifice themselves gloriously" for scientific experiments, the rest of the rats are constantly fleeing, and the trend is getting more and more serious. Richard speculated that this might be caused by hearing the screams of mice that "sacrificed themselves gloriously" for scientific experiments.
If this continues, within a few days, there may not be enough mice to serve as experimental subjects.
Maybe it would be better to raise a group of rapidly breeding mice, but it would take up a lot of time. Or, entrust Alex to capture some rats? I just don’t know if the other party will accept this commission. After all, in the eyes of the other party, this kind of entrustment should be very unusual.
While Richard was thinking, he quickly conducted a test experiment on the "Spartan Heroic Potion" using the captured mice to test the effects of different doses of the potion.
After a while, the test was completed and after the corpses of several mice that had "sacrificially sacrificed themselves with honor" were disposed of, Richard began to record data on the spare laboratory table next to him.
"Shashasha..." The quill dipped in ink quickly wrote on the papyrus scroll, stopping at the end.
Richard stood up and held the glass bottle containing the "Spartan Heroic Potion" in front of his eyes. His eyes flashed and he said, "The next step is the human experiment. I hope there will be some surprises."
After Richard finished speaking, he opened the stopper of the glass bottle and put it into his mouth. He controlled the dosage and took a very small sip—not swallowing it, but controlling the area under the tongue.
This is Richard using sublingual administration to speed up the effectiveness of the medicine.
Generally speaking, there are many ways for drugs to enter the body and take effect, from fastest to slowest: aerosol inhalation, intraperitoneal injection, sublingual administration, intramuscular injection, subcutaneous injection, oral administration, rectal administration, skin administration Medication.
Sublingual administration, that is, taking it under the tongue, ranks third. It is absorbed into the blood through the sublingual capillaries and completes the absorption process. Because it avoids the "first pass effect", the time to take effect is much shorter than oral administration. The only disadvantage is The intake is limited and is generally used for some kind of small dose administration.
The most common thing is that when a heart attack (angina pectoris) occurs, the patient will absorb the drug - nitroglycerin (pharmacologically to treat heart disease and chemically to make explosives) sublingually, and it will take effect in a very short time. It has a life-saving effect. Otherwise, if it is taken orally, it will take effect after a few hours, and the body of the sick person may have cooled down.
At this time, Richard absorbed the medicine by taking it sublingually and stood quietly, waiting for the effect to take effect.
After a while, Richard felt a change.
"Bang bang bang!"
The heart in the chest beats faster, the blood pressure rises, and the blood vessels under the skin bulge one by one.
"Hoo ho ho!"
Breathing becomes rapid, the oxygen consumption of cells in the body increases significantly, and metabolism continues to increase.
"Kakaka!"
Richard shook his hands, his knuckles making a series of bone noises, and his strength increased a lot. At the same time, speed, vision, hearing, and perception are all enhanced to varying degrees.
…
After a while, the effect of the medicine disappeared. Richard drank a large glass of light salt water to replenish the water consumption caused by metabolism during the test. He calmed down and began to analyze.
"It seems that it is similar to what was previously speculated. The 'Spartan Heroic Potion' is like a stimulant. It mainly works by strengthening metabolism and blood flow, improving the human body's reaction, endurance and explosive power, similar to the human body. Adrenaline. But..."
Richard frowned slightly.
"But... what did Macbeth say about stimulating blood seeds? Is it to stimulate the body to mutate on the basis of strengthening metabolism? But it's a bit unrealistic, right? After all, the direction of mutation cannot be controlled. …”
After thinking for a long time, Richard could not come up with a record, so he could only sigh and said: "Let's put this aside for now. Things like bloodline seeds are as scarce as wizards. Without samples for research, it is difficult to get them." clear.
Speaking of samples, I met several of them on Lisburn Island. Unfortunately, one of them was killed by himself, two were killed by Macbeth, and none of them survived - what a waste. "
Shaking his head slightly, Richard walked to the desk and began to record the data and results of his experiments. After recording, take the "Spartan Heroic Potion" and start processing it for sale.
The main step of processing is to add water, er, dilute.
This is not because Richard has a bad heart, but because he is cautious.
After all, the effect of the "Spartan Heroic Potion" produced at this time is stronger than the original one. If it spreads, it is unknown what kind of trouble it will cause.
Besides, if it is not diluted, it can only be made and sold in one bottle. In terms of raw materials, production process, labor cost and technical content, although there will be people in Baishi City who can afford it, if you want to pass Alex's It is difficult to sell through channels. After all, those who could afford it were the wizard class, and Alex was out of reach.
Thinking of this, Richard poured part of the medicine into a large volumetric flask and began to add water into it.
Dilute ten times? Twenty times? Fifty times
To put it simply, let’s do it a hundred times.
When a large amount of water is added, the color of the liquid quickly becomes thinner, and in the end it only floats a faint golden color.
What name should be given to this medicine that is diluted a hundred times
Richard blinked.
Golden blood? Isn’t it a bit unrealistic
Forget it, let's change the original name - since the previous name was "Spartan Heroic Potion", then the current name is... "Spartan Heroic Potion". In this case, the origin and background of the potion The story was all thought out together.
After sorting out the diluted medicines and putting them into a wooden box, Richard walked into the laboratory next to where Pandora was sleeping.
Pandora continued to sleep, and Richard walked in without moving.
"I'm going out for a while. Take a good look at the house, do you hear me?" Richard said.
Pandora turned over and moved her head slightly, as if she heard it, but also didn't seem to hear it.
That's what was heard.
Richard thought to himself, turned around and walked out.
