Seeing Peter Brown go out for a few days and coming back with a truck, Raven Walter asked, "What have you been up to?"
Peter Brown pulled his father aside and said, "Dad, I have something to tell you. Since our wine factory is expanding, the wine formula will be patented, and some people in the factory will know about it."
Raven Walter frowned and said, "I wanted to talk to you about this as well. Now that we are using those medicinal materials, everyone pretty much knows about them. Some people are even studying our materials. If the recipe is made public, will they be able to crack our formula?"
"Dad, you know that the key to our medicinal materials is the extraction part."
Raven Walter nodded and said, "Yes, after the expansion, I alone definitely won’t be able to handle everything. Do you have any solutions?"
Peter pointed to the seemingly not too large item being unloaded and said, "Dad, this is a high-tech medicine extractor I’ve designed. When we install this device above the path through which the medicine flows, the medicine will be able to reach the standard we require."
In the past few days, Peter Brown had almost completely devoted himself to the casting of the formation disks. Fortunately, the machines in the factory were very precise instruments, saving Peter a lot of effort. After a little modification with a carving knife, the formation disk was actually made. Not only that, Peter made thirty-six array disks at once, which were enough to meet the needs of medicine extraction.
"Peter, I’ve heard that some researchers can break down the different contents in various things. If they just take our wine to study and know the formula, can’t they come up with something similar?"
When Peter Brown heard this, he couldn’t help but secretly praise his father for learning so much. He truly understood these matters.
With a smile, Peter said, "Don’t worry, our recipe won’t be stolen. You just have to learn how to operate this extractor, and you won’t even have to do it yourself. You just have to manage one crucial part."
Raven Walter was delighted and said, "What’s the logic behind this?"
"Dad, it’s hard to explain in a nutshell, but I’ll teach you when the time comes."
Peter Brown wasn’t sure how to explain the alchemy methods. If it were just a small batch of wine, using the traditional manual method would be okay. But now, large amounts of medicine were involved. This process, which couldn’t be explained by science, involved a fusion process. It required using formations to merge the substances, integrating spiritual energy into the mix.
As Peter Brown didn’t completely understand the process himself, he naturally couldn’t explain it clearly.
Raven Walter didn’t ask more questions. He was only concerned that others wouldn’t learn the recipe, and he laughed, "I can rest assured then."
"CEO Wang, what is this machine?"
Phoenix Taylor also rushed over. Her main concern was the wine production issue.
"This is a specially developed high-tech medicine extractor. It only needs to be installed in the pipeline of the medicine extractor you’ve purchased. After passing through this extractor, the extracted medicine will be able to reach the required standard. If this step is missing, the medicine will be useless even if it’s merged."
"Do we have to do this for every medicinal ingredient?" At this point, Phoenix Taylor thought about the large number of medicinal ingredients they used.
Peter Brown smiled and said, "Phoenix, since we’re planning to expand our market globally, our factory can’t stay small. We’ve simplified our medicinal materials to thirty-six types. I’ve purchased thirty-six of these extractors. They will be installed on every production line, and the thirty-six pipes will be connected together. The resulting medicine will be mixed with the wine, and the medicinal wine will be produced."
Looking at the trucks coming one after another, Phoenix Taylor was somewhat speechless. She thought that the entire wine production process would have to be modified again. She really didn’t know what kind of thing this machine was.
However, seeing that Peter Brown had solved the most critical issue, Phoenix Taylor was still pleased. She smiled and said to Peter, "We need to apply for a patent for our recipe as soon as possible to avoid future problems."
"Hmm, you organize the personnel to do this."
After the extractors were put in one place, Raven Walter, accompanied by Peter Brown, visited the site when no one was around.
"Peter, I’m not sure about this. Will the recipe be leaked?"
Peter Brown laughed and said, "Don’t worry, it won’t be. You just need to keep an eye on this place."
As Peter Brown pressed a specially-made button at the bottom, Raven Walter saw a hidden box come out, and there was a small piece of jade inside.
"Peter, what is this? Why is there jade?"
"Dad, the key to this extractor is here. It can only operate with this jade. This is not ordinary jade; it’s specially made. So, you just need to secretly check the jade situation here and put a small piece into the box when it runs out."
Raven Walter widened his eyes and asked, "What kind of technique is this?"
"Dad, this is actually the so-called alchemy technique from legends. I’m not too clear about it either. Someone taught me, but they didn’t want me to reveal the secret. You just need to know that."
Remembering the mysterious techniques that his son had learned in prison, Raven Walter nodded and said, "Alright, as long as I know."
Peter Brown added, "Don’t worry, even if someone steals our machine, they won’t be able to produce qualified medicine without my jade."
Raven Walter finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That’s great. I haven’t been able to sleep these past few days because of this."
At this point, Raven Walter said, "We’ll need a lot of jade for this, right? I checked, and each extractor requires one piece of jade. That’s thirty-six pieces for thirty-six extractors. How long can that last?"
"If we go by our current production rate, I estimate that we’ll need to replace the jade every three months."
Raven Walter asked, "Where can we find so many jade stones?"
"I’ll handle it. In a few days, I’ll go to the China-Myanmar border and buy some jade stones. Don’t worry; we’ll be able to make enough money to cover the cost."
"Alright, I feel reassured now that you’ve said that."
Peter then taught his father the technique to open the hidden box.
After explaining the matter to his father, Peter really thought about the jade stones. He needed a lot of jade, as the array disks also required jade to maintain their operation. Peter’s jade stones were almost used up, and he needed to buy some more.
