Liu Lin was too sleepy and was about to make some coffee to refresh herself when Lu An Ning stopped her.
She looked at Liu Lin with some distress: "Go get some sleep! I'll be here, I'll call you if anything happens."
She was too tired, so she lay down on the small recliner in the office, and fell asleep in the blink of an eye.
Lu An Ning stood by, looking at the sleeping Liu Lin, a little dazed.
In the past, she had only seen Professor Liu, who was as famous as the master of traditional Chinese medicine, on the screen, and she felt that such a person was high and mighty and she might never be able to reach him in her lifetime.
Someone like her, who is surrounded by such brilliance, should be able to live comfortably every day. But who would have thought that the real Liu Lin couldn't even get enough sleep every day!
It seems that everyone has their own hardships and difficulties behind them.
After about an hour, Xiao Han came out with the latest experimental data.
Liu Lin was awakened by a knock on the door and sat up suddenly.
"How about it?"
Xiao Han sighed and shook his head, saying, "The newly cultivated medicinal strains still haven't achieved the results we expected. I always feel like something is missing."
In addition to improving the old formula to enhance the efficacy of the drug, Liu Lin's team is now mainly tackling the problem of cancer cells.
Xiao Han boldly imagined that if new drug strains could be developed to keep oncogenes in a dormant state forever in the face of an increasingly deteriorating overall environment, the occurrence of cancer could be fundamentally suppressed.
Our ancestors left behind many ancient prescriptions, too many of which were incomplete. What they needed to do was to find clues from them to overcome the problem of cancer and find ways to prolong life.
The ancient silk prescription they obtained at the last auction was exactly the focus of their research.
The office fell into a dead silence, and no one had a smile on their face. They all knew that Lu Anning couldn't wait too long, and they needed to produce some results as soon as possible to let the company's shareholders see the value of the investment.
Lu Anning remained calm and comforted them, "Although I don't understand, I do know that success requires countless failures. Don't be discouraged, I believe in you. Just focus on your research, and I'll handle the company side. What we need to do now is to find the cause."
Liu Lin was a little shocked. Even when she worked at Gu's before, Gu Yue would not be so tolerant towards them.
"I will definitely not make things difficult for you."
Liu Lin wasn't just talking. While Lu An Ning was there, the two of them reviewed the experimental process again. They were sure that there was nothing wrong with the idea and the ancient recipe in the silk book. All operations during the experiment were also guaranteed to be as error-free as possible.
After searching over and over again, they really couldn't find where the problem lay, as if they had reached a dead end.
Lu Anning was an outsider, listening to their discussion without saying anything. When they were reviewing the experiment again, Lu Anning mustered up the courage to interject.
“What if we use soil?”
In just a few seconds, Liu Lin and Xiao Han were completely stunned.
They considered various reasons and even changed the nutrient solution formula during the cultivation process, but never considered soil cultivation.
Liu Lin frowned. "An Ning, the nutrient solution used in the laboratory cultivation process contains richer nutrients than ordinary soil, so the difference shouldn't be significant."
Lu Anning responded. She just remembered that the old dean mentioned before that Chinese medicine is more effective when it is grown wild. The efficacy of herbs grown in different soils can also vary greatly.
Liu Lin was a professional after all, so since she had said that, Lu An Ning didn't continue.
Xiao Han seemed to understand what she meant: "You mean, the medicinal herbs dug from the mountains in the past were more effective than the ones cultivated artificially now, right?"
"That's exactly what happened, but I'm not entirely sure why. You guys should know better!"
Liu Lin and Xiao Han fell into deep thought!
Liu Lin sighed softly: "It's a pity that our company is not like the Gu family, which has its own medicinal fields."
Xiao Han murmured again, "We can try it first, using wild medicinal herbs for experiments. If it really is a problem with the medicinal plants, can we consider simulating different wild environments?"
Although it sounds unbelievable, Xiao Han really wants to give it a try.
Once successful, the development of traditional Chinese medicine may take a big step forward.
Someone once asked why the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine is much lower than before?
Traditional Chinese medicine used to be collected by doctors themselves in the mountains, but now it's mass-produced and often grown in greenhouses using chemicals. Some, to improve the quality of the herbs, use pesticides and fertilizers, and the resulting products may have long lost their original medicinal properties.
Lu Anning listened quietly and had his own thoughts in his mind.
Is the Gu family’s medicinal field very big?
After leaving the lab, Lu Anning's mind kept echoing with Liu Lin's voice. They used to work at the Gu family and knew more about the Gu family than he did.
If I had returned to the Gu family, the current problem might have been solved.
Since there are no medicinal fields, perhaps she could first find out more and go to the remote mountains to collect some wild medicinal herbs.
"Zhong Ling, ask Professor Liu to make a list of the herbs you need and the requirements. Also, ask around to see where you can get wild herbs."
"Wild?" Zhong Ling looked troubled. "Mr. Lu, most of them are now artificially cultivated. There are too few wild ones. I'm afraid it would be difficult to meet the laboratory's needs even if we could find them."
Lu Anning was confident: "I know what's going on. Just go and ask, I'll think of other ways."
As she and Zhong Ling were talking as they walked, she inadvertently looked up and ran into Gu Yu who was stopped outside the laboratory.
Lu Anning was shocked. How could such a busy man like him have time to come here today?
Looking for Liu Lin?
