Chapter 207 Eastern Magic Water
"What is potion? Do you know what marketing is?"

"That's obviously magic water from the mysterious East, with a secret recipe that has been passed down for hundreds of years by the royal family!" Wang Deming immediately refuted seriously, then smiled slightly and said, "Add a little bit of mysterious attributes, doesn't it sound high-end to you?"

Alexei blinked, and Wang Deming was stunned by his words. "The Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact seem to be talking about Marxism-Leninism, dialectical materialism, and socialist principles."

"It's the same here. Aren't you afraid of being accused if you promote it this way?"

It seems that it doesn't matter. It's just a potion. As long as I can sell it for money, it's fine.

"Then let's go to the lab. Diana told us last time when we were playing mahjong that we seem to have some clues."

This time, Alexey also got a brand new British Phoenix car, and they drove one after the other, heading south in the warm breeze.

With the strong promotion of a Ming history expert named Wu, large-scale construction and demolition began in the capital, vowing to build the capital into an industrialized city.

On the North-South Streets of Dongsi and on the East-West Chang'an Avenue, several brand new high-rise buildings are being constructed. These are the office buildings of various ministries and commissions. On the nearby Gongzhufen side, there are all the buildings and compound of the Military Commission.

What followed were all kinds of simple buildings and tube-shaped buildings built in various ancient buildings, such as the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Agriculture, which were built in a fragmentary manner.

After leaving Chongwenmen Street, the outer city seemed to have not changed much. No, it can only be said that the low houses have not changed much, but the city wall has quickly become shorter. From time to time, people would come spontaneously to pull bricks from the city wall to pave their own floors or the floors of the alleys.

More often than not, the government organized factories and schools at all levels to come and do voluntary labor and tear down walls on Sundays.

On the second street, in a courtyard house that was converted into a purification laboratory, biologists and chemists who came from the Soviet Union to provide support, wearing white coats, masks and white hats, and a few students from Beijing were constantly mixing test tubes.

"Master Hara! My dear comrade, how is the progress now?" Wang Deming and Alexei were at the gatehouse at the entrance of the hospital. They put on white coats, walked into a laboratory in the second courtyard, and asked a Soviet female comrade who was taking notes.

The round-faced, slightly plump lesbian shook her head, "I still don't understand!"

Wang Deming was stunned. What don’t you understand?
The round-faced woman continued, "No matter how I test it, the main ingredients of the ginseng plant you mentioned are the same as those of radish. How can a combination of several plants have such a great effect?"

How advanced was technology in the past? AI has replaced the lower-level cattle and horses, and various unmanned technologies have emerged one after another, but they still cannot explain the principles of traditional Chinese medicine well?
Even the United States has expanded its acupuncture clinics to traditional Chinese medicine clinics and hospitals, and included traditional Chinese medicine in the medical insurance coverage. Aren’t there still a lot of people in China who are against traditional Chinese medicine?
"My dear comrade, you just need to know that it works. If you can really crack the secrets of Chinese medicine," Wang Deming paused and smiled mysteriously, "then the Nobel Prize in Medicine is definitely waiting for you."

"Really?"

"Of course!" Wang Deming pointed to the test tube in her hand, "You have drunk the liquid purified from Chinese herbal medicine yourself, and you should know the changes in your own body."

"Oh my god, why didn't I think of that before?"

"It's not too late."

"De, I have to say that you are a very good lobbyist, but..." The round-faced female comrade hesitated for a while and said, "We will leave here soon and go to a place called Shijiazhuang."

"The sulfa and penicillin production lines provided by the Soviet Union are located there. We all need to report there and help build your pharmaceutical factory smoothly."

This sudden news immediately disrupted Wang Deming's plan. He quickly pointed to a row of reagents on the test bench and asked, "Dear Katyusha, did we successfully purify the medicine?" "Hehe," the round-faced Katyusha laughed and shook her strong waist, "Of course, you have to believe in the ability of our Soviet comrades and the hard work of our Chinese comrades."

“Purification seemed very simple to us, but it was a little troublesome to adjust the taste at the end.”

"Yes." Katyusha handed Wang Deming a lab notebook and added, "We not only completed the purification of several mixed herbal plants you asked us to do, but also added some extra ones."

After saying that, he blinked his right eye at Wang Deming.

"Ahem!" Wang Deming pretended not to see it and took the lab notes and quickly looked through them. Indeed, not only Siwu Decoction was successfully purified and made into various flavors; there was also Shiquan Dabu Decoction, Sishen Decoction, Sijunzi Decoction, etc., which were further extracted into powder and could be processed into tablets in the future.

"Wow, Katyusha, I really don't know what to say." Wang Deming was excited, laughing and holding her thick waist and spinning around a few times, "Haha, you are our friend forever!"

"Wow, De, you're really strong."

Seeing that Katyusha's small fat hands had already touched his forbidden area, Wang Deming quickly put her down and pushed Alexei forward. "When it comes to strength, Alexei is still the best!"

"Of course!" Alexei straightened his pectoral muscles without hesitation.

Unfortunately, Katyusha had no interest in him. Then she sighed and said quietly, "Since I participated in the chemical and molecular research of traditional Chinese medicine, I have become more obsessed with traditional Chinese medicine. One of our comrades went to bed without a blanket one night and had a high fever that wouldn't go away. Penicillin didn't work."

"As a result, one of your traditional Chinese medicine doctors touched his wrist and boiled water with plaster mixed with several plants, and successfully reduced his fever. This is really amazing."

“And the magic of acupuncture”

Katyusha turned around and said, "Don't you find that my figure is much better than before? My complexion and skin are much better too? I don't believe that acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine affects the body through Pavlov's higher nervous system theory."

"I have inquired about it. The meridians in traditional Chinese medicine must contain secrets of the human body that we have not yet discovered."

"I have actually told Diana to help me get a few X-ray machines. I hope to try to use X-rays and isotopes to detect acupuncture points and meridians. It's just..."

"Katyusha!" Wang Deming really didn't expect that after the Soviet comrades recognized Chinese medicine, they did not completely deny Chinese medicine like those who thought they were well-educated and specialized in Western medicine. Instead, they reflected, explored, and actively studied in depth, trying to crack the principles and secrets of Chinese medicine.

This spirit touched him deeply. After thinking for a while, Wang Deming said solemnly: "Katyusha, in my opinion, Chinese medicine emphasizes that people are a whole, including their spirit, or soul."

"Western medicine studies the human body as an ordinary object and excludes mental factors. Therefore, I have always believed that a person's spirit will cause changes in his or her body."

Wang Deming looked at Katyusha with burning eyes and said firmly: "If this can be proved, it will definitely be a Nobel-level discovery in physiology and medicine!"

"Katyusha, I solemnly invite you to return to this simple laboratory to conduct further research on traditional Chinese medicine after the construction of the pharmaceutical factory in Shijiazhuang is completed."

"Would you like that?"
