The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3655

The entire laboratory was in a state of despair because of the failure of the test.

The reason for their despair was not because they could not imitate the Apothecary Restoration Pill, but it was because they had already imitated it exactly, yet the result was very different. Everyone was suddenly placed in a dead-end.

If it was useless to imitate it to the point where it was exactly the same, what should be done to make it useful, then?!

Roger was also completely stunned. He paced back and forth with the imitation pill as he muttered, "What should we do next...? What can we do next? Since it's insufficient for us to come up with the exact same pill, should the next step be to try a different direction, then?" Several pharmaceutical experts were also extremely frustrated.

They had never encountered such an unbelievable situation in all of their many years of practice.

Smith pondered for a moment, and he suddenly remembered something. He asked Roger, "Could it be that there is some difference in The Apothecary Pharmaceutical's preparation process?"

Roger rubbed his forehead and asked, "What exactly do you mean by that?"

Smith said, "For example, do they boil it and then air dry it, or do they bake it or expose it to the sun for seventy-nine days or something like that?"

Roger asked in confusion, "Why seventy-nine days? What kind of logic is this?"

Smith said, "I don't know. My daughter is reading ' Journey to the West', which is an Oskian mythological story where the immortals refining medicine usually use a square number such as the number seven seven forty-nine and nine nine eighty-one..." Roger said awkwardly, "That is too f*cking undisciplined, right?"

Smith said seriously, "This thing is becoming very metaphysical now and so, we also have to think of whether there is something metaphysical here that we have not noticed."

As Smith spoke, he then added, "By

the way, I've heard that a lot of attention is paid to the preparation, of Oskian medication too. For instance, the effect would be

different based on the amount

water that was added, how long the potion was cooked, and whether it was boiled on high or low heat..."

Smith remembered something, and he hurriedly added, "By the way, in 'Journey to the West', it is also said that you would sometimes need to use rootless water in the preparation of medicine. You would not be able to achieve the desired effect if you

use any other type of water."

Roger rubbed his temples and asked him, "What is this rootless water you're talking about?"

Smith said, "The explanation of the so-called rootless water in the "Journey to the West" is about rainwater descending from the sky. Since rain comes from the sky, it is said to be rootless water."

Roger was dumbfounded, and he blurted out," Wouldn't all water be H2O regardless of where it comes from? Why would rainwater be more powerful compared to other water? Isn't rainwater also converted from water vapor evaporated from the ocean?"

Smith spread out his hands and said, "So, that's metaphysics. If it has a scientific basis, it's science, but it is precisely because there is no scientific basis, and that is the reason why it's called metaphysics."

Roger asked him, "So, what are you

saying, then? Should we have

different teams preparing this recipe using different methods next? For instance who should cook the concoction on high heat or low heat, and who should use natural air drying or baking? And then, we will have different teams using different types of water such as rainwater from the sky, well water from the ground, and spring water from the snowy mountains?"
