Chapter 389 Alchemy

unconsciously.

It has been more than two months since the "Secret Stone Incident", and Han Dong is also a senior sophomore mysterious apprentice.

For both the library and the mysterious study, the limit value of the current stage is almost reached, and the improvement of continuing to study is very small.

As for the level of "Little Magic Eye", it is directly linked to Han Dong's head.

Before the faceless head has been upgraded, the little magic eye can only be maintained at the stage of [Volume 2 - Pupil Seal].

It means that the only way to gain strength is through fate points... Han Dong even has a faint idea of ​​hitting a bottleneck and starting to yearn for breaking the seed.

Things have to be broken step by step, and Han Dong also slowed down his mind as much as possible.

Therefore, in the past two months, Han Dong focused on a side business that he was very interested in.

【alchemy】.

The technological level of the Holy City remains in the first industrial revolution.

Due to the emergence of higher life, very few human beings are restricted to live in sealed cities.

The main consideration is not the development of science and technology, but how to obtain the ability to fight against life outside the city from the space of destiny.

In a world where technology is far inferior to that of Han Dong before his death.

The reservation of [Alchemy] is a good example.

Alchemy, in essence, is an ancient chemistry, and human's understanding of chemical reactions only stays at the surface (the microscopic level has not been realized).

However, due to the existence of magic and supernatural powers in the Holy City, the development of its alchemy is also different.

The alchemist will understand various chemical reactions from the corner of magic, thus deriving a unique technology tree of Han Dong's world.

The preparation of various pharmaceuticals is essential.

High-efficiency potions extracted through alchemy can provide instant energy supply, life recovery and physical energy replenishment.

Some more advanced potions can even improve combat power, magic potency, and even provide intuitive combat special effects.

It can bring great hope of survival to the knights who enter the space of destiny.

From Han Dong's long-term research on alchemy, the most important point is "symbols".

The alchemists in the holy city can't write chemical formulas, and they don't know any chemical formulas.

They fuse alchemical reactions with their own magic, expressing them in the form of an abstract "symbol".

For example, the preparation of a certain active pharmaceutical, the symbol is [Я].

Simply draw a formation with this symbol on it, or wear gloves with this symbol on it.

The raw materials are prepared in proportion, and driven by alchemical magic, the activation energy required in the chemical reaction can be replaced, and the reaction can occur directly.

Seemingly simple.

In fact, the drawing of symbols is also a science.

There is a book "Symbol System" in the library, with a thickness of more than 1,000 pages and nearly a million words to describe the drawing of symbols and its details.

At the same time, during the alchemy process, the alchemist's control of magic needs to be assessed, and the "symbols" are driven evenly or explosively. The precise execution of each link will affect the quality of the final alchemy product.

For some advanced alchemy products, multiple "symbols" are required to be realized through "overlapping", "series" or "complex fusion", so they also correspond to multiple driving steps.

Once a link goes wrong, it will lead to alchemy failure, and may even lead to major accidents.

Due to the specificity of the symbols, the alchemists in the holy city specialize in a certain alchemy mode.

…………

Han Dong was not affected by this solidification mode during his reading, learning and memorizing basic symbols.

After all, Han Dong had memorized the periodic table of elements and a large number of reaction equations in his head.

If there is enough time, Han Dong can even create symbols according to some equations, so as to make some products that have never been heard in the holy city.

However... Since Han Dong embarked on the path of minoring, it means that 'time' will be squeezed out.

Therefore, Han Dong can only focus on making money in the end, rather than scientific research and development.

After investigation, all kinds of medical medicines and energy medicines are basically saturated.

Moreover, for a novice alchemist like Han Dong, there is a possibility that the purity of the medicine produced may not meet the standard and cannot be circulated in the market.

However, Han Dong aimed at a blind spot in the market in a short period of time.

"pressure"

At this stage, it is an unavoidable problem for human beings.

The generation of stress mainly comes from the spiritual level.

Because of witnessing the indescribable faces of creatures outside the city,

Heard some kind of terrifying whisper implanted in the cerebellum,

or suffering from contamination wounds of near death,

Even if the pollution is purified by the holy light, the mental stress in the brain still exists, and it surrounds the brain layer like a nightmare. If it is not vented in time, it will lead to insomnia, hallucinations, self-mutilation, and eventually suicide.

To a certain extent, it is somewhat similar to "depression".

In the holy city, the preparation of the medicine for stress relief is very complicated, often involving more than ten "symbols"... The final medicine is very precious and expensive.

Such potions are often given to important personnel in the Knights for use during the 'expedition'.

In Han Dong's memory, there are many molecular formulas and production processes of antidepressants.

After all, during the postgraduate entrance examination in front of him, he basically read the book "Medicinal Chemistry" to the fullest.

There is an antidepressant drug that can be easily prepared, which gave Han Dong the idea of ​​mass production... If the effect is good and mass production can be achieved, a steady stream of funds will flow into Han Dong's hands.

And the holy city will have an additional anti-stress medicine at a price that is affordable to the people.

...

"Serotonin (Serotonin)

Widely present in mammalian tissues, especially in the cerebral cortex and synapses, it is a kind of messenger that can produce pleasant emotions.

Serotonin affects nearly every aspect of brain activity: from regulating mood, energy, memory, and even shaping a person's outlook on life.

Studies have shown that people with lower serotonin levels are more likely to experience depression, impulsive behavior, alcoholism, suicide, aggression, and violent behavior.

I even suspect that in humans who have been 'contaminated', the rate of serotonin synthesis in the brain is severely hindered.

Try to create a drug that can catalyze the synthesis of serotonin in the human brain by means of alchemy.

However, in the context of this era, compounds with polycyclic structures may be extremely difficult to prepare... Even if they pass the laboratory, mass production is by no means easy.

Give it a try... If it works, not only will I be able to reap huge financial benefits from it, but the entire Holy City's stress situation will also improve.

For the funds during the experiment, try to borrow it from Demps.

After waiting for the finished product, apply to Mr. Black and White for research funding. "

Han Dong wrote all the molecular formulas of antidepressants that he could remember in essence.

Acquired a batch of benzene-containing substances, and immediately took advantage of Mr. Black and White's privilege to go to the area outside the city.

This time out of the city, Demps will naturally be brought with him, or every time he goes out of the city, he will bring Demps with him... This project sponsor must please.
