Mythical Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1842: Chapter 1700: Technological Innovation (Part 2)

After Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing left, all the military generals were eager to practice in the afternoon to accurately determine how much their own strength had increased. Liu Bei and Cao Cao didn’t stop them and directly sent them off.

”Li Tiao, what are you doing?” Chen Xi curiously looked at Li Tiao, who was standing by raising his hand.

”I feel like I’m doomed. My body is getting stronger and stronger. Although Inner Qi can barely enter my body, it only goes in and doesn’t come out...” Li Tiao said with a bitter smile.

”Ha, that’s not a problem. It’ll definitely be solved in the future. You should quickly go with Zilong and Zhangming to train the White Horse. You’re a Colonel now, aren’t you?” Chen Xi patted Li Tiao’s shoulder and said. Li Tiao didn’t explain further and left after a salute.

”I didn’t expect pharmaceuticals to be used in this way?” Zhou Yu said while feeling the changes in his body and turning to Chen Xi.

”Of course. When things reach a certain limit, their significance becomes immense. The so-called ’divine craftsmanship’ refers to situations like this.” Chen Xi laughed and said, ”Many things would never reach this level without official support in this lifetime.”

”At least it’s impossible to draw blood from Inner Qi Manifestation, especially from Elai,” Xun Yu said with a smile, ”Looking back, it seems we need to invest in this area too. However, the somewhat troublesome aspect is that doctors now seem almost monopolized by Chen Zichuan.”

”That’s for sure.” Chen Xi said with a smile, ”That’s why it’s imperative for the officials to take the lead. By the way, let’s each be careful tomorrow. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”

”Nothing will go wrong. Even if the other party has a Military Spirit Legion, it’s meaningless,” Jia Xu said, turning his head to speak.

”What are you doing?” Chen Xi inquired of Jia Xu.

”I’m going to select some people,” Jia Xu said with a sinister smile, and Zhou Yu suddenly reacted, smiling at Jia Xu, ”Why don’t we go together?”

Jia Xu raised an eyebrow and used Voice Transmission to Chen Xi, ”For soldiers below Inner Qi Manifestation, physical use is more important than Inner Qi in battle, and organizing three thousand soldiers with Qi Refining to Gang physiques with Physician Hua’s medicine is actually not a big problem.”

While speaking, Jia Xu deliberately pointed at Zhou Yu, and Chen Xi suddenly understood.

Jia Xu and Zhou Yu’s flights of fancy were eventually crushed by reality. Hua Tuo said that ordinary animals could only survive under the care of himself and Zhang Zhongjing, and even those who had refined their Qi to Gang required the care of Inner Qi Manifestation just to be usable, let alone ordinary soldiers.

When Jia Xu asked Hua Tuo for that thing, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing quickly concocted a large test tube with various potions and warned Jia Xu not to mess around. As a result, the reckless Jia Xu and Zhou Yu almost killed six willing experimental soldiers on the spot.

”Cough, cough, cough, it appears this approach is not feasible.” Zhou Yu said with slight embarrassment. He wanted to gain some advantage, but it couldn’t be played that way.

”I told you not to mess around. This stuff significantly affects muscles, and ordinary soldiers just don’t have the foundational conditions. Even though Marquis Chen has improved the soldiers’ standard of living greatly, they still don’t meet the basic requirements.” Zhang Zhongjing said with dissatisfaction after rescuing the six soldiers.

”Is there an inferior version?” The idea of Xuu Chu and Dian Wei led a group of eight-foot Tiger Guard Army, which were essentially muscular bodyguards, flashed in Chen Xi’s mind.

”Super Speed Recovery coupled with muscle enhancement should be okay,” Chen Xi explained, as he had some understanding of biology. In Zhang Zhongjing’s eyes, Chen Xi was also somewhat considered a doctor, so his proposals were somewhat considered.

”It can be done, but enhancing the body would require considerable strength in the muscles themselves,” Zhang Zhongjing said, furrowing his brows, ”Moreover, there needs to be potential in this area, especially in muscle cells.”

”Can the combination with nutrient fluid be made universal?” Chen Xi asked, furrowing his brows.

”No, the universality requirement is much higher than normal. Marquis Chen knows this better than us. However, since General Dian obviously has an advantage in this area, it can indeed be done. As for Super Speed Recovery, we’ve already completed it.” Zhang Zhongjing said, frowning.

”So fast?” Chen Xi said incredulously.

”Yes, but it’s unsuitable for normal use, only for Inner Qi Manifestation,” Zhang Zhongjing said naturally.

This was researched while studying Zhou Tai. There used to be more than a dozen models, although generally effective, but after so much production practice, the hands became particularly skilled. The reason for success this time could be said to be that Zhou Tai finally thrived...

”Does it consume a lot of Inner Qi?” Chen Xi asked curiously.

”A lot, but the effect is excellent. Animals used in the experiment can recover quickly, but their Inner Qi is drained, and they die. Yuanhua and I believe it can be used, but it requires a significant amount of Inner Qi and nutrition,” Zhang Zhongjing said.

”Oh, prepare a hundred portions of it.” Chen Xi said without hesitation, it would be good to prepare two portions for each Inner Qi Manifestation general.

”It’s still in liquid form now, and I’m considering how to make it more portable. The finished product should be ready by tomorrow,” Zhang Zhongjing shook his head, refusing Chen Xi. Glass test tubes are quite valuable, and having Inner Qi Manifestation carry them would result in instant breakage.

”Oh, actually, you don’t need to create universally applicable items now. You can completely let people adapt to the medication...” Chen Xi said slightly shamelessly.

”...” Zhang Zhongjing was directly stunned. It was always about using medicine tailored to the individual, formulating different medicines for different people. Chen Xi was completely opening another door.

”Cough, cough, cough, so you guys make them quickly, and we can find suitable people,” Chen Xi said with a dry laugh, thinking that for military use, there was no need to chase after the conditions for civil use.

”In that case, it can be done,” Zhang Zhongjing said thoughtfully. ”Wait a moment, it should be ready soon.”

Less than an hour later, Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo took out a bunch of test tubes.

”This is what you want!” Hua Tuo pointed to the reagents kept active in warm water and said to the group, ”There are over sixty types, each with different requirements.”

”Ha, is there one that requires innate cellular activity to be seventy percent higher than the average person?” Chen Xi pulled a wry face at those conditions, ”Most of these are worthless, right.”

”Not necessarily, there might be someone suitable. For example, this one is suitable for those with a high bone strength,” Hua Tuo pointed to a greenish reagent and said.

”You’re joking, aren’t you!” Chen Xi retorted, ”With such high demands, out of the four thousand plus million people in the Han Dynasty, maybe one or two might meet the standard. Encountered anyone with continuous bone growth?”

”I haven’t met any, but they definitely exist, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible to formulate it,” Hua Tuo said indignantly, ”The fact that it can be refined means that such people surely exist.”

Chen Xi was too lazy to engage further, thinking that among so many people, Strange Species were bound to appear, ”In the end, the only usable ones are these two. By the way, can more be developed?”

”These are very basic, highly targeted agents directly decomposed using our talents, more may appear in the future, but with our current abilities, this is as far as we can go. Being able to do it this quickly is already the result of years of accumulated expertise reaching its peak,” Zhang Zhongjing sighed.

”Oh, then I’ll take these two,” Chen Xi said, not willing to comment further.

Taking the two vials, Chen Xi, along with Jia Xu and others, left the area and began gathering the Tiger Guard Army, while Zhou Yu rushed to pick out hulking soldiers who stood around 1.8 meters tall.

”For this portion, we need to find soldiers with extraordinary cardiopulmonary endurance. How do we even look for that?” Chen Xi muttered helplessly.

”What does this enhance?” Jia Xu asked curiously.

”It increases the rate of Inner Qi acquisition, allowing the body to extract more Heaven and Earth Essence from food. It’s meaningless for those with Inner Qi Manifestation, but for regular people, it means a lot. However, it requires extremely high cardiopulmonary endurance from the user,” Chen Xi said helplessly, realizing that with current poor technical conditions, meeting the requirements was nearly impossible.
