65 Improve Formulation (1/2)

The study of gene potions was very profound to begin with.

Each mature formula was a result of countless geneticists' hard work. They must have conducted many clinical trials to ensure the stability of the medicinal effects. Otherwise, they wouldn't be accepted as an approved formula.

It was far too difficult to improve a formula on top of what had already been achieved!

However, This was an extremely important task. The R&D departments had always been the core technical department of a company, let alone the Giant Pharmaceutical Company that had an oligopoly in the solar system. It wasn't an easy feat for a person to stay on in the organization as the competition was very intense.

Therefore, although the task assigned was very difficult, Feng Lin must still complete it.

It might be fine if he failed to complete one task. However, if he continued to fail for multiple times, he would be kept out from the core of the research team sooner or later. He might even be chased out of the R&D department.

This wasn't a result that Feng Lin wanted.

He would only be able to acquire the Giant Pharmaceutical Company's core technologies by staying in the R&D department.

Feng Lin opened up the Adrenaline Potion's formula and started to study it seriously.

When Feng Lin's new colleagues in the R&D department saw his troubled scene, they kept on exchanging strange glances, secretly gloating over his misfortune.

”It isn't that easy to enter our R&D department! This newcomer is going to have it real bad!”

”Don't take on jobs that you aren't capable of accomplishing! Which one of us who managed to join the R&D department isn't a talent amongst genetic researchers? If this newcomer doesn't have the capabilities, he'll be chased out sooner or later!”

”This guy is really unlucky. Furthermore, he has offended the team leader. The team leader is a very petty person!”

...

In their eyes, Feng Lin was going to end up as a passerby. They felt that he didn't have the capabilities and had even offended the team leader. His luck was really bad and he would be chased out very soon. Therefore, no one was interested to make friends with him.

However, Feng Lin didn't pay them any heed and just focused on studying his Adrenaline Potion.

This wasn't a high-grade gene potion. Like the potion of life, it was also a potion without any grade. Its formula was very simple and only required seven ingredients and 31 steps.

However, the simpler something was, the harder it would be to improve it.

It was because the formula was already as simple as it possibly could get. So how could one still improve it?

It was like if a person was given a cup of plain water, would they be able to formulate anything out of it?

Clearly, this was extremely difficult—close to being impossible!

However, a subordinate didn't have the option and reason to reject tasks assigned by their superiors to begin with.

Feng Lin didn't have much of a choice. If he wanted to let Team Leader Aike be speechless, he must submit an improved gene potion formula.

Since he wanted to improve the formula, he must first understand it.

Feng Lin pondered seriously.

The Adrenaline Potion, true to its name, was a gene potion that stimulated the human body to secrete adrenaline.

Adrenaline was a hormone that was naturally secreted by the human body. When a person experienced excitement, horror, or other intense agitation, their bodies would secrete a large amount of such chemical substances. They could make one's breathing become a lot faster, their nerves to be completely excited, and their reaction speed to exceed the normal rates.

This potion itself was also a kind of powerful stimulant.

If a person were to drink it whilst in a battle, their thoughts would move at a faster speed, their reactions would be a lot swifter, and their actions would become more agile.

When fighting it out with an opponent, being one step faster would make all the difference between life or death.

This made the amazing effects of the Adrenaline Potion very clear. Amongst interstellar cultivators, it was also considered the most popular and commonly used gene potion.

Thankfully, the ingredients for the formulation of gene potions were supplied for free in the R&D department. Feng Lin started experimenting.

The Adrenaline Potion's formula: dragonblood flower's nectar 30 milliliters, waterjade powder 15 grams, losoto solution 100 milliliters, catalytic cream 10 grams, spirit powder 12 grams…

Feng Lin measured out the ingredients according to the formula and started formulating the gene potion.

He followed the instructions on the formula, first heating up the dragonblood flower's nectar slightly to 60 degrees Celsius, before then diluting it with losoto solution. He then added in waterjade powder at a stable rate, mixing it in to present a murky condition.

Although this was only the initial phase of the formulation, there was already a strange aura emitted from the mixture that caused one's blood to seeth and for an individual to feel restless after smelling it.

Clearly, the gene potion was already showing some hints of its medicinal effects while in the midst of the formulation.

Feng Lin didn't stop what he was doing. He continued to add in the various ingredients according to the specified methods and order, doing things very orderly.

In the end, he increased the strength of the flames, and the liquid from the gene potion started to evaporate. Very soon, a small bottle of gene potion that had a volume of 20 milliliters appeared in Feng Lin's hand. It was clear and translucent, with its ingredients perfectly integrated with no signs of impurities at all.
