Chapter 100 (1/2)

After the FBI had left, Steele finally appeared. He didn't ask directly, but he was indirectly trying to find out Huang Xuan's relations.h.i.+p with Senator Melvin. Huang Xuan coped with it diplomatically.

Ginger didn't stop Huang Xuan from continuing to use the lab. In fact, he never showed up there again. Even the few graduate students had been scared away. When Huang Xuan tried to find a few people to do some work for him, he found that there was only Peter and him in all of Zone C. Peter was also reluctant to stay, but he did so since he felt it was his duty. So with a bitter face, he ended up helping Huang Xuan wash beakers.

Due to disruption, a few steps that required strict timing had to be conducted all over again, which meant two hours had been wasted on it. Huang Xuan shook his head resignedly. The bright side was that since he had done it once, he had become more familiar with the steps to make the medicine.

At last Huang Xuan didn't find anybody else for help and spent all night doing the experiment. As with most experiments, this experiment required high accuracy. So after each step he needed to add a small step to remeasure the object before the second step, otherwise each step would magnify the error of the previous steps. That was why it was difficult to counterfeit medicine, even under the same experiment conditions. The production procedures were much more troubling, because of the cost and equipment that must be taken into account.

After working continuously for 1 day and 1 night, under Rolin's careful watch, no other problems occurred. However, Huang Xuan was still a bit worried since the formula had been given by a time traveller. So, Huang Xuan repeated the experiment 27 times to ensure their was no issues. After the last step had been completed, Huang Xuan took the pills out of the machine. Peter was also curious and came closer, but didn't smell anything.

24 hours had pa.s.sed. Under Rolin's watch, no problems had occurred. But Huang Xuan was worried about the formula given by the time traveler. The last step had been completed. Huang Xuan took the tablet off the machine. Peter came closer to watch clearly and smelt nothing. Huang Xuan conducted the experiment 27 times.

”Prolong 4N,” Rolin called.

4N?” Huang Xuan wondered.

Rolin immediately corrected ”Pro-long 4 N. Life const.i.tutional medicine, pharmaceutical grade 4 N-type.”

”You told me you didn't know what it was!”

”I can't read the formula but I know the completed product.”

Huang Xuan was glad. He had thought that he would need to ask Steele for help with the clinical tests. ”Is the medicine OK?”

”All is usable except number three. But there is a bit of a problem.”

”What?” Huang Xuan became worried.

”Model N requires the cooperation of the base. You may need to send your grandpa to the base.”

Huang Xuan shook his head immediately. There was always someone taking care of his grandpa in the hospital. How could he take his grandpa away without being found out?

Rolin waited for a while until the medicine was put in the plane pa.s.sage. Seeing Huang Xuan still hadn't responded, he said, ”In fact, the base could be simulated with energy, but it costs too much.”

”Rolin, don't worry. We have a lot of gemstones that haven't been sold. They are all yours.” Huang Xuan giggled, which startled Peter, who was in his thirties but had a mentality similar to Huang Xuan's. Peter mumbled something and then said to Huang Xuan, ”You'd better take the opportunity and do more experiment. Otherwise you will have to re-adjust the machines next time.”

Huang Xuan nodded with a smile but didn't follow his advice, because he trusted Rolin. Now, the problem was energy, a lot of energy.
