54 Chapter 43 Weight Loss Cookies
Watching Lu Pingping leave, Yan Fei felt a bit sorry, but he didn't have a solution. He previously thought that the Auxiliary Brain's technology analysis and deduction would be quick, but who knew it would take so long without producing specific results, leaving no choice but to let his close friend be frustrated for the time being.
A week later, the Auxiliary Brain finally gave Yan Fei a pleasant surprise. The technology for adding the Obesity Antibody to the Human immune system had at last been deduced and analyzed.
To ensure a fail-safe outcome, the Auxiliary Brain conducted numerous experimental simulations within its own Technology Analysis System, and to guarantee computational power, Yan Fei hadn't let the Drone go out during this time, dedicating all computational capabilities to technology deduction.
After multiple simulation trials with consistent results, the Auxiliary Brain confirmed the correctness and effectiveness of the technology, and recorded it onto a branch of the Technology Tree. The Technology Tree only documents mature technologies, so once marked, it indicates that the technology has matured and can be put into commercial operation.
Under Yan Fei's guidance, the technology met all his requirements, with all necessary components extracted from natural plants, ensuring safety and lack of toxic side effects.
It was precisely because of the Auxiliary Brain's extensive data verification that it took so much time. This technology diverged from the production thinking of chemical drugs in the Western World, drawing inspiration from China's Traditional Chinese Medicine system. To obtain non-toxic and effective optimum components, the Auxiliary Brain downloaded and studied the complete canon of Chinese Medicine as well as modern Plant Data, and finally, produced a definitive formula.
This formula somewhat resembled a Chinese Medicine prescription but broke free from the constraints of traditional prescriptions. It comprised 13 plant ingredients, with one being from Chinese Medicine, and the remaining 12 being common plants from everyday life. The one medicinal herb was also widely cultivated and Affordable, incurring virtually no cost. The other twelve plant species were the most common plants found in the mountains, essentially cost-free. In other words, the final formula in Yan Fei's possession was both affordable and effective, without worry of being bottlenecked by Raw Materials.
Although the required Raw Materials for the formula were simple, the entire extraction and manufacturing process was very complex. It involved many steps, and any issue at any stage could result in a failed product.
Curiously, the production site for this kind of product required no special conditions; it could even be done at home with a large iron pot and a gas stove. However, the most challenging aspects were the order in which to add the plant components, the timing of their addition, controlling the intervals of ingredient input, the simmering time, and even the stirring method and temperature during simmering all had specific requirements.
Only by meeting all these production conditions could the perfect product be refined. And if there was an error in any of the Programs, the effort would be wasted due to the failed concoction.
Having received the formula, Yan Fei set out to manufacture the product, thus he began preparing the Raw Materials. As the needed Materials were quite simple, he easily gathered the 13 plant ingredients and prepared them in his home kitchen, then proceeded to simmer the product under the Intelligent Brain's direction.
Despite the Intelligent Brain's instructions and Yan Fei's perfect body control, he still failed on his first attempt at producing the product. The failure continued until the fifth attempt when he eventually succeeded.
The successfully refined product was a light golden, silver-white liquid with a sweet fragrance—this was the final color and scent deduced by the Auxiliary Brain for a successful product. The failed products all turned black, resembling the bitterness of Chinese Medicine and emitting a foul odor. Only the successful product would display a silver-white liquid with light golden luster and sweet fragrance—truly amazing.
Yan Fei was delighted to find out from the Auxiliary Brain's deduction results that the concentration of this silver-white liquid was extremely high, so it had to be diluted before it could be used orally, allowing the Immune System to mark the Obesity Antibody and thus achieve the goal of weight loss. The dilution degree was so high, it reached an astonishing ten thousand times.
Yan Fei calculated that the 50 milliliters of liquid he had successfully refined could be diluted to dose 200 people. With one liter of such liquid, 4000 people could be treated. Although producing this product was very energy-intensive, with all the right Equipment, Yan Fei could remain focused and produce 500 liters in a day, which meant his daily output was enough for 2 million people. At least in terms of production volume, there were no issues with this product.
Having produced a mature Weight Loss product, Yan Fei then began to prevent others from cracking his commercial Secret. Even though the Intelligent Brain's method for concocting the product was very complex—if someone obtained the formula without the Auxiliary Brain's assistance, they could not replicate it—he still had to be extremely cautious. Many amazing events occur in the World every day, and one oversight could lead his product's Secret to be leaked, which would be a tremendous loss.
Therefore, Yan Fei began to ponder how to conceal his product's secret. Eventually, he thought of a brilliant method: to incorporate the Weight Loss liquid capable of marking the Obesity Antibody into other Items and then sell them under the guise of those Items. When people consumed these Items, they would ingest the Slimming liquid and achieve the weight loss effect just the same.
