Chapter 91 The Perfect Dragon Power Potion

Without wasting any time, Li Ang immediately began assigning tasks:

"Your Highness, you are responsible for cleaning this bag of algae balls, then boiling them with water until they become a uniform colloid. Harris, you help me process the sap from the guar gum tree; we need to purify it further and remove impurities."

Maya was full of enthusiasm for the boiling work and immediately got to work, while Harris skillfully cooperated with Leon to filter the sap from the guarana tree.

Soon, the workshop was filled with the unique, faint fragrance of boiled algae balls. In Maya's crucible, the algae balls gradually melted, turning into a pot of translucent, slightly viscous liquid, which solidified into a trembling jelly after cooling.

Li Ang used a silver spoon to scoop out a small piece of algae ball glue for testing.

After some testing, Li Ang learned that this algae glue is stable at room temperature and insoluble in water. It only becomes liquid when it is reheated to 100 degrees Celsius.

Li Ang then took a small bottle of strong acid used to treat special materials and carefully dripped a drop onto the colloid.

With a soft hissing sound, the part of the colloid that came into contact with the strong acid was quickly dissolved.

"Just as I thought!" Li Ang was delighted. "This kind of colloid is sensitive to acid, making it perfect as an outer protective film. It dissolves instantly in the acidic environment of the stomach and releases its contents."

The next crucial step is to mix the treatment solution with the sap of the guar gum tree.

Li Ang first hypothesized that the indigestible nature of sap from the guar gum tree could delay the release of the medicinal liquid.

Based on this, three gradients were designed, in which moonshoe moss extract and sedum extract were mixed with 30%, 60%, and 90% of sap of balsam tree, respectively, and then placed in molds and baked at low temperature to form the product.

These three tree bread balls, containing different proportions of sap from the guarana tree and thus containing restorative components, are now ready.

Li Ang carefully wrapped these tree bread balls of different proportions with boiled algae glue, making them into small capsules the size of peanuts.

After finishing the production of the slow-release capsules, Maya and Harris worked with Leon to refine the medicine.

With the three of them working together, they refined three more bottles of Dragon Power potion without any healing ingredients, for tomorrow's effect test.

Next, to definitively determine the stability of the colloid, they placed the three proportions of capsules into three bottles of Dragon Power potion. One bottle was placed in the [Eternal Frost Rune Cabinet] and set to -20 degrees Celsius, another in the [Dragon Breath Temperature Chamber] and kept at 80 degrees Celsius, and the third was stored at room temperature.

After finishing all this, it was already late. They agreed to come back the next day to observe the results, and then left each other, exhausted but full of anticipation.

The next morning, as soon as class was over, the three of them immediately gathered at the workshop.

After being soaked in the medicine overnight at three different temperatures, the outer layer of Algae colloid remained intact, showing no signs of dissolution.

When Li Ang shook the medicine, the capsules only swayed gently in the medicine and did not rot.

"The first step appears to have been successful," Harris noted down.

"Great! Let's start the test, Li Ang!" Mei Ya said to Li Ang impatiently.

Li Ang nodded, and the three of them returned to the training ground of the Eighth Squad.

Maya first drank a Dragon Power potion with 90% sap from the sap tree. The effects took effect instantly, and her face turned bright red with bulging blood vessels. But this time, her nose didn't bleed.

Time passed second by second, and the duration of the sustained-release capsules covered the entire duration of the medication, plus a considerable amount of extra time.

Maya maintained a critical level of tolerable side effects throughout.

It seems the proportion of this colloid is a bit too high. Maya is fine because she has a strong constitution, but ordinary people would experience significant side effects if they drank it.

After resting for a sufficient amount of time and waiting for the effects of the medicine to completely wear off, Maya drank the second bottle of medicine, which contained 60% guar gum sap.

This time, as the medicine entered her throat, her expression remained unchanged; only a powerful sense of strength instantly filled her entire body.

She excitedly swung her battle axe, leaving deep cuts on the obsidian target once again. As time passed, Maya maintained her full strength without any abnormality.

"It's a success!" Harris looked at the recorded data, his voice filled with barely suppressed excitement. The effects of the drug had hardly changed, but the side effects had been reduced to almost zero. This meant that everyone should be able to use it now.

Maya sensed her physical state, her emerald green eyes sparkling:

"Li Angqing, you are truly amazing! I hereby declare that you are the greatest apothecary in Ironforge's history, no, the greatest wizard."

Even the usually calm and collected Harris stepped forward to Leon, solemnly performed a wizard's salute, and spoke with genuine respect:

"Wizard Leon, your wisdom and innovation are truly admirable. It is my honor to participate in this project."

Looking at his delighted companions, Li Ang felt a sense of accomplishment and smiled modestly.

"This is the result of our joint efforts. Next, we need to precisely optimize the ratio of sap from the guar gum tree. Although the current agent is close to perfect, there is still room for improvement."

The three were not overwhelmed by joy and threw themselves back into the intense optimization work.

A few days later, based on the data from the first two tests, Harris made precise calculations and finally locked the proportion of gum tree sap at 56%.

This time, they meticulously crafted three bottles of the perfect version of the "Dragon's Power" potion, infused with 56% balsamic slow-release capsules.

The perfect version of the [Dragon's Power] potion is still dark red overall, with red vortexes flowing within it.

What makes this potion completely different from ordinary potions is the yellow pill coated with a gel floating in it, which is something you would never see in traditional potions.

"Then," Li Ang looked at his two companions, "let's use this result to apply for project approval."

Sandra Meyer and Harris exchanged a smile and nodded vigorously.

After determining the formula and refining the finished product, the next step is to compile the entire research and development process, theoretical basis, material processing details, and final efficacy data into a paper.

This work was mainly done by Harris, primarily because she had the neatest and most beautiful handwriting of the three.

Li Ang was responsible for verbally verifying the core ideas and key steps, while Sandra Meyer supplemented the specific feelings and data feedback during the drug trial.

"...In summary, by combining the sap of the sap tree with the sap of the water hyacinth, the therapeutic effects of the moonshoe moss extract and the concentrated extract of the calming flower were successfully released gradually, covering the entire effective period of the Dragon Power Potion. While ensuring that the efficacy is increased by about 60% compared to the original potion, the side effects are reduced to a negligible level. This method may provide a new approach for dealing with other potions with high side effects."
