The Black Bone Spiritual Treasure remained the same as before, neither more nor less.
It seemed that Professor He hadn't used it in the past few days.
Xia Sang heaved a sigh of relief and put the spiritual treasure back.
She had been like this since she was a child. If she lost something, even if she found it back, she would keep checking it over and over again. If a family member fell seriously ill, after they recovered, she would constantly remind them to take care of their health.
Maybe it was because she had never lived with her biological parents. She always lacked a sense of security in some aspects.
Even though Xia Laosi had been very good to her, he had always kept her real origin a secret. The feeling of blood being thicker than water was only something she could feel between Xia Laosi and Xia Anying.
But things were different now.
She patted her cheeks to cheer herself up.
Just then, Professor He arrived. He pushed open the door and checked back and forth before closing it to make sure he didn't leave the key in the lock again.
He was holding a stack of materials in his arms. There was stubble on his chin, and even his eyelids looked swollen.
He looked more like the scientific madman described in movies.
She quickly walked over to take the documents from his arms. "Professor, why are you so sleepy?"
Professor He yawned. "Isn't it because of the research?"
She asked worriedly, "Has there been no progress in the research these days?"
Professor He nodded.
"Extracting the components from the Black Bone Spiritual Treasure by extraction method is indeed effective, but the effect is not very good."
"I've read the notes you wrote beside. Although I don't know what those things can do specifically, based on the current information, these components are far from enough to treat Treeman Syndrome."
"We need a better method for extraction now."
It was true that the Black Bone Spiritual Treasure could cure incurable diseases. However, up until now, only a few pieces of the spiritual treasure had been found in the world, let alone conducting research on it.
So there was very little reference material available to them, and there was practically no precedent for the technology of extracting the components of the spiritual treasure.
If it was about using the spiritual treasure to make medicine, it would not be a problem for Xia Sang at all.
But she was only proficient in pharmacy. When it came to physical technology, she wasn't completely ignorant, but she couldn't say she knew much either.
Both she and Professor He were at a loss when it came to the component extraction process.
"I'm thinking of asking that young man from the Leng family to request the school to assign a physics major to us."
"After all, only when the major is right can we achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Otherwise, if we just sit here worrying about the spiritual treasure, we don't know when we'll be able to extract the truly effective components."
She had considered this method before, but after going through so many things, she was a bit hesitant to trust others.
Moreover, this research laboratory was established under the guise of "new drug research". The research reports they had to submit to the school every month were actually taken out from Professor He's own discarded research reports.
In Fernos College, apart from the two of them, no one else knew about the existence of the Black Bone Spiritual Treasure.
Would it be too risky to suddenly let a new person join them?
She rubbed her chin and frowned, unable to come up with a better solution for the moment.
"I'll talk to him when I get home tonight. The Leng family is so powerful. I don't believe he doesn't have any trustworthy people he can send over."
Professor He was obviously more carefree than her. Moreover, the research progress had been stuck because of the lack of extraction technology. No researcher would be willing to give up.
It seemed that this was the only way now.
After making the decision, they quickly started analyzing the existing materials on hand to see if they could make a breakthrough in other directions.
The fragments Xia Sang had copied from the papers were all related to gene surgery. After all, most of the things she had come into contact with were traditional Chinese medicine, and she rarely had the opportunity to touch Western medical technology.
And Treeman Syndrome was a genetic disease. Starting from the genetic aspect, they should be able to find a breakthrough.
Leng Group's headquarters.
Leng Chuanjin was sitting in his chair, listening to Yun Ye's report with a gloomy face.
These were the information he had sent people to investigate about the group of people who had kidnapped Xia Sang.
According to Yun Ye, these people were indeed a mafia group, but during the heyday of the mafia, they were just a very small organization.
Before the country launched the anti - organized crime campaign, they had already quit the underworld and started a family business.
Why would they suddenly do such a thing?
Either they had suddenly gone crazy, or they had been instigated by someone.
It didn't take much thinking to know it was the second reason.
But who could have instigated them?
He instinctively thought of his uncle.
Leng Qiuhua.
Since he was a child, he had disliked this uncle.
Although his uncle always smiled at his family, every time he saw his uncle's face, he felt uncomfortable.
It wasn't until his father passed away and he gradually took over the company that he encountered heavy obstacles from his own uncle.
Whether it was the company ledger that had gone missing for no reason or the projects that they were originally sure to win but were out - bid by a rival company with insufficient funds.
At that time, he was alone and helpless. While Leng Qiuhua was playing tricks behind his back, he pretended to be his support, trying to gradually swallow up the Leng Group from his hands.
His uncle wasn't very capable. When he was young, he was just like Fu Kai. So his grandfather had handed the company over to his father.
As he got older, his uncle's desire for power and money grew stronger. After his father's death, taking advantage of his young age, he had used many insidious means.
Fortunately, his mother's family was powerful. They had helped him when he was most desperate and also helped him see through Leng Qiuhua's false appearance.
Since then, he had had a feud with his uncle.
Although they still seemed like a family on the surface, in fact, his uncle hardly ever went home except during the Chinese New Year.
It wasn't so much that he didn't want to go home as that he was forced by Leng Chuanjin and couldn't go home.
Back then, his grandfather was afraid that his useless youngest son would starve to death after his own death, so he left a small company in the family for him and asked his eldest son to support him so that he could at least have enough to eat and drink for the rest of his life.
It was a pity that even though his grandfather had prepared everything, he couldn't have predicted that his eldest son would die so early.
Leng Qiuhua wasn't married, but he had a son whose mother was unknown.
Since he had that son, he had become even more eager for the Leng Group's headquarters. Sometimes, he would even use all sorts of dirty tricks to deal with his own nephew.
Fortunately, Leng Chuanjin had grown up and had been through many years of business battles. Leng Qiuhua's tricks didn't even catch his eye.
