Chapter 175 You can analyze it, but you can't imitate it.
Looking into Gu Baobao's clear and determined eyes, Sui Jianguo felt reassured.
He straightened his back and, facing the skepticism from outside the booth, announced loudly (translated by Xiao Zhang):
"Our Chinese delegation acts with integrity and uprightness. Dr. Gu Baobao's research findings aim to benefit human health, and we welcome oversight based on science and facts."
We agree to submit our samples of the Strengthening and Nourishing Pills to an authoritative testing institution recognized by all parties, including the director of DuPont, for open and impartial testing. We believe the truth will eventually come to light.
The testing site was chosen to be a relatively well-equipped laboratory at the Pitié-Salpetril Hospital.
The scene was temporarily set up as a semi-public witnessing venue.
In addition to several highly respected medical and pharmacology experts invited by the DuPont director, representatives from the exhibition organizers,
Some media reporters, as well as representatives from both sides involved in the incident, including the Chinese delegation and Gu Ningbao, who has been detained, were also allowed to be present and observe.
The atmosphere was as heavy as a courtroom.
On one side of the long experimental table, there was a sample of Jiuzhuan Peiyuan San that had been sealed from the Red Company's booth.
On the other side, there was a well-packaged health-preserving pill provided by Gu Baobao.
Gu Ningbao was like a dead dog, guarded by two policewomen, huddled in a chair in the corner, her face pale, her eyes unfocused, and her body trembling slightly uncontrollably.
She knew the ending was already decided; she was just waiting for the final judgment.
Gu Baobao, on the other hand, sat in the area where the Chinese delegation was located, her back straight and her expression calm.
She didn't even glance at Gu Ningbao, her gaze calmly fixed on the lab table, merely a detached observer.
As the host, Dean DuPont solemnly announced the testing process and the list of participating experts, emphasizing the principles of impartiality and confidentiality.
Then, several recognized impartial experts and technicians began to conduct a series of complex physicochemical analyses, chromatographic detections, and spectral analyses on the two samples...
Time passed in silence and the soft hum of the instruments.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes fixed on the busy hands of the technicians and the instrument screens that were constantly outputting data.
Although Lavoisier had already boarded his private plane to leave Paris, his men remained at the scene, mingling in the crowd, anxiously awaiting the outcome.
Several long hours later.
The gray-haired pharmacologist in charge of the main testing adjusted his glasses, picked up a preliminary report, and faced the crowd, his voice trembling slightly with excitement and shock:
"Ladies and gentlemen, based on the tests completed so far, we have reached the following preliminary conclusions—"
The entire room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
"First, regarding the sample labeled 'Nine-Turn Cultivation Powder',"
The old expert's tone was heavy.
"We detected definite central nervous system stimulant chemicals, including amphetamine derivatives, and a synthetic bioalkaloid whose structure is not yet fully understood but whose toxicity is evident."
These ingredients have a clear addictive potential and pose a serious risk of damage to the cardiovascular and nervous systems. This sample does not meet the food or drug safety standards of any country and is therefore prohibited.
"Whoosh—!"
The scene erupted in uproar.
Although it was expected, the official confirmation from the tests still sent a chill down everyone's spine.
Those who had tried the food or even bought it instantly lost their color.
Gu Ningbao, who was in the corner, suddenly trembled and lowered her head even further, almost curling up into a ball.
The old expert paused for a moment, waiting for the commotion to subside, before continuing, this time with an incredulous astonishment in his voice:
"Secondly, regarding the sample of the 'Strengthening the Body and Nourishing the Vitality' health-preserving pills provided by Dr. Gu Baobao of China—"
Everyone perked up their ears.
“We conducted a comprehensive and thorough analysis. The results showed that the sample was composed entirely of natural plant and animal extracts, and no synthetic chemical drugs, hormones, stimulants, or other prohibited ingredients were detected.”
Many people breathed a sigh of relief, but even more were curious about where the immediate effect came from.
The old expert's tone became even more agitated:
"Even more surprisingly, we detected several highly active polysaccharides, saponins, and flavonoids in the samples, which showed significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities in in vitro experiments."
In particular, a uniquely structured complex polysaccharide, according to preliminary data, may have a mild repairing and regeneration-promoting effect on damaged cells. This…this is simply a miracle of natural product chemistry!
He looked in Gu Baobao's direction, his eyes filled with pure academic awe and respect:
"Dr. Gu, could you please tell me which medicinal herbs these active ingredients, especially the complexed polysaccharides, are derived from? And how are they extracted and formulated to achieve this synergistic effect?"
This question voiced the concerns of all the competitors and potential imitators present!
Countless gazes, like searchlights, focused on Gu Baobao.
Gu Baobao slowly stood up.
She walked to the lab bench, and instead of directly answering the senior expert's question, she faced the crowd and calmly spoke in clear and fluent English:
"Thank you to all the experts for their hard work, which has proven the safety and uniqueness of our product. The essence of traditional Chinese medicine lies in the holistic view and the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment."
Our health-preserving pills do not work from a single ingredient, but are formulated with more than ten medicinal herbs in a harmonious combination.
Under specific processing techniques and procedures, the inherent potential of medicinal materials is stimulated, resulting in a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.
The specific core ingredient ratios and key processing techniques are core intellectual property of our team.
She paused, her gaze sweeping over those whose eyes gleamed with calculation, her tone calm yet carrying an invisible pressure:
"Just as the synthesis routes and catalyst selections of certain Western special drugs are confidential, I cannot disclose the core process details here."
However, I can guarantee that any attempt to replicate this medicine by simply reverse engineering the list of medicinal ingredients will not achieve the same therapeutic effect. Because the real key lies in the process, not just the raw materials.”
Her words not only clarified her stance and protected core secrets, but also demonstrated her confidence:
You can analyze it, but you can't imitate it.
