Xue Jinshan had already processed several types of herbs according to Xia Ruofei's request. He was chatting and waiting outside the door with a few veterans who were in charge of the security of the control room.
In fact, Xue Jinshan didn't dare to go far for the whole afternoon. He was supposed to patrol the workshop where the Heart Nourishing Soup was being produced a few times, but today, he left that to the deputy director.
As soon as he heard Xia Ruofei's voice, he immediately responded loudly and quickly walked over.
Xia Ruofei waved at Liu Lin and the other two veterans and said, "Liu Lin, you guys continue to be on duty!"
After that, he said to Xue Jinshan, "Let's go. Take me to the herb pretreatment workshop."
Xue Jinshan quickly led the way and led Xia Ruofei to the herb pretreatment workshop.
He specifically found a separate room to store the herbs that Xia Ruofei had asked him to buy today. The processing of several types of herbs just now was also done by him and a few of his most trusted employees.
"Boss Xia, these are the herbs you wanted. Please take a look and see if the quantity and type are correct," Xue Jinshan said respectfully.
These herbs were placed there according to their categories. The few herbs that Xue Jinshan had brought people to grind were placed on the side by themselves with their corresponding labels.
Xia Ruofei glanced at them and knew in his heart. He nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. Jinshan, I might have to work overtime today. Bring a few trustworthy and skilled workers with you and stay here."
Xue Jinshan knew that Xia Ruofei was going to process these herbs, so he quickly said, "Okay, Boss Xia. We'll wait for you outside!"
Xia Ruofei nodded. Xue Jinshan immediately left the room and closed the door.
After Xue Jinshan left, Xia Ruofei didn't process the herbs immediately. He had already developed a habit of being cautious, so he carefully checked the room first to make sure there were no monitoring devices.
Although Xue Jinshan was a trustworthy employee, Xia Ruofei didn't let his guard down because of this.
Xia Ruofei was already very experienced in anti-reconnaissance. Now that he had a strong mental power, if there were any spy devices in the room, there would be no way to hide. He quickly checked the room to make sure it was safe.
Then, Xia Ruofei walked to the herbs.
According to the minimum standards of the production line, these medicinal herbs could be produced three times. Of course, about half of the medicinal herbs could not be used to decoct the Jade Muscle Ointment, but many of them could be used to refine the Spirit Pregnancy Soup and Body Quenching Soup.
Therefore, the first thing Xia Ruofei did was to pick out the irrelevant herbs. Among them, the herbs related to the Spirit Soup and Quenching soup were naturally stored to be stored to the space.
Xia Ruofei threw the rest of the useless herbs into the grinder and threw them aside.
Then, Xia Ruofei began to process the herbs for the Yuji ointment.
In addition to the herbs that Xue Jinshan had brought people to grind, the rest of the herbs had to be added in three batches according to Xia Ruofei's design.
Xia Ruofei mixed the herbs of the same batches together and crushed them. Then, he divided them into three batches and labeled them separately.
These herbs were mostly roots, leaves, and the like. After a certain degree of crushing, they were mixed together. Unless there was a dedicated person who used specialized equipment to analyze them, it was basically impossible to restore their composition.
After the herbs were processed, the sky outside gradually darkened. However, the workshop next door that produced the Heart Nourishing Soup was still working. It was just that the workers were taking shifts to rest.
Xia Ruofei opened the door and called Xue Jinshan and a few other skilled workers in. He carefully explained the trial production process to them.
Of course, it mainly involved a few processes that required manual intervention. As for the other processes such as heating, adding water, stirring, and separation, they were all highly confidential. Moreover, the production line was controlled by the central control computer. Xia Ruofei naturally didn't need to explain too much.
There weren't many parts that involved manual labor, and it wasn't complicated. Xue Jinshan and the others recorded it down very seriously. Then, they nodded to show that they remembered it.
Thus, Xia Ruofei said, "Okay, Jinshan will divide the work for everyone. Then, each of you will receive a batch of ingredients. Everyone, take your places!"
"Okay, Boss Xia!" Xue Jinshan's voice was a little excited.
Although he didn't know what Xia Ruofei's new product was, with the Heart Nourishing Soup as a precedent, Xue Jinshan was already full of anticipation for this new product that was about to be released.
He was no longer that inexperienced college student. After this period of experience, his working ability had been greatly improved. Moreover, his prestige in the pharmaceutical factory was also very high.
Xue Jinshan quickly distributed the tasks. Every worker had a corresponding job, and he was responsible for overall coordination and inspection, as well as dealing with emergencies.
The workers each brought the ingredients to their assigned positions, and Xia Ruofei brought Xue Jinshan back to the control room.
"Everyone, report your preparations!" Xue Jinshan picked up the control room's intercom and said calmly.
"Work Station 1 is ready!"
"Work Station 2 is ready!"
...
Xue Jinshan looked at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei nodded slightly and said, "Let's begin!"
After that, Xia Ruofei opened the sealed production program on the computer. After double-clicking to run it, he pressed the green button on the interface.
Each work station had a corresponding indicator light. After the workers saw the indicator light up, they poured the ingredients they wanted into the feeding port.
The entire production line began to operate under the control of the computer.
Amidst the roar of the machine, the ingredients were sent through the conveyor belt to the high-pressure stainless steel tank. Then, distilled water began to slowly pour in.
The amount of water that was poured in each time was set by Xia Ruofei according to the ratio.
The ingredients were slowly heated and stirred in the high-pressure tank. The first test production of Yuji Ointment had officially begun.
Xia Ruofei stared at the control room, and Xue Jinshan began to inspect each work station on the production line.
As the indicator light continued to light up, the workers at each work station also carried out the corresponding operations.
Finally, the few medicinal herbs that had been ground into powder were slowly added through the last feeding port.
The ingredients were constantly stirred in the high-pressure tank, and the water began to slowly evaporate.
The green indicator light on the control computer flashed a few times and then lit up.
Xia Ruofei stood up with a trace of excitement. He was accompanied by Xue Jinshan to the feeding port.
He saw a steaming brown paste in a stainless steel container. He could smell a familiar fragrance from afar.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked closer to take a look.
He reached out and dipped his finger in the ointment produced on the assembly line. He carefully observed its quality, deeply sniffed the smell, and finally even stuck out his tongue to lick and taste it.
Although the Yuji Ointment was a cosmetic, it was made with pure Chinese medicine ingredients. It could be said to be food grade. Even if it was taken directly, there wouldn't be any problems.
Xia Ruofei's eyebrows slightly wrinkled. Although the appearance of the Yuji Ointment was similar to his hand-made products, and the smell was similar, Xia Ruofei could clearly feel that there were some granular substances inside. Moreover, there was a certain difference between the finished product and the finished product.
Obviously, the product produced this time didn't meet Xia Ruofei's expectations.
However, Xia Ruofei was already mentally prepared for this. The brewing process of the Yuji Ointment was quite complicated. There were many steps involved in the process. He spent almost an entire night to complete the theoretical construction of the production process. If the first trial production was successful, then he would definitely hit the jackpot.
In fact, in order to achieve mass production, it would definitely need to go through many trials and constantly fine-tune the parameters to find the best effect.
Xue Jinshan saw Xia Ruofei's eyebrows wrinkle. His heart sank slightly. He asked nervously, "Boss Xia, the product doesn't meet the requirements?"
Xia Ruofei smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't reach the best state. But it's okay, it's an experiment! It's impossible to not make any mistakes. I'll go and fine-tune the parameters again! "
Then, Xia Ruofei thought for a moment and said, "Take a sample of the finished product from the first trial and label it. Oh right … prepare a sample for me too."
"Okay, Boss Xia!" Xue Jinshan quickly said, then signaled to a worker.
That worker immediately began to sample the product.
Xia Ruofei turned around and walked back to the control room. He used the USB drive to copy the program that he had just backed up into the control computer. The program in the computer had been sealed and solidified, so it couldn't be modified anymore.
This USB drive was specially prepared by Xia Ruofei to handle some confidential work. It was never connected to the Internet. Even computers that had been connected to the Internet before wouldn't connect to it even if the cable was unplugged.
This was all for the sake of confidentiality.
Xia Ruofei deleted the solidified program, then opened the program that he had copied from the USB drive. He looked at the complicated parameters and links and fell into deep thought.
After a while, Xia Ruofei heard a knock on the door.
He minimized the program's editing interface, then got up and opened the door to the control room.
Xue Jinshan stood at the door with a wide-mouthed glass bottle and said, "Boss Xia, this is the sample you wanted!"
Xue Jinshan knew that Xia Ruofei wanted to modify the production program, so he didn't follow Xia Ruofei back to the control room. Now that Xia Ruofei had opened the door, Xue Jinshan's eyes were lowered. He didn't even glance at the control computer in the room.
As the director of the pharmaceutical factory, Xue Jinshan's position was still very proper. He was working for Xia Ruofei. He would never try to get in touch with such core secrets. He wouldn't even have the thought of doing so.
Xia Ruofei smiled and took the glass bottle. He said, "Okay, thank you, Jinshan!"
After that, Xia Ruofei casually put the glass bottle into his pocket.
Xue Jinshan said, "Boss Xia, you're welcome. I'll go to the workshop and wait for orders!"
Xia Ruofei smiled and nodded. "Okay! Oh right … I think it'll take a long time to adjust the program. Get someone to prepare some supper! It'll be hard for the workers to work overtime! "
"Okay, Boss Xia!" Xue Jinshan replied, then turned and left the door of the control room.
Xia Ruofei closed the door and sat back in front of the control panel.
First, he sent the sample bottle into the Ring-Tu space. Then, he communicated with Xia Qing with his telepathic thoughts and asked him to check the quality of the Jade Muscle Ointment produced by the assembly line.
The result was as he expected. After Xia Qing's inspection, the sample could only be said to be a success, but the quality was very average. It was considered a low-grade product.
Although it was a success and the product would still have medicinal effects, Xia Ruofei wanted to go the high-end route. Naturally, he couldn't allow a shoddy product to appear. Therefore, after he took out the glass bottle containing the sample from the space, he began to analyze the program.
He mainly adjusted the time, temperature, amount of water, and other parameters according to the situation of the Jade Muscle Ointment produced this time.
This kind of adjustment couldn't be done casually by luck. It was based on knowing the entire program and parameters like the back of one's hand. After analyzing the product, it was possible to find the parameter modification plan that would affect the quality of the product.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei thought for a long time before he began to adjust five of the parameters in one go.
Then, Xia Ruofei backed up the second version of the program into a USB flash drive and sealed the program on the computer. Then, he picked up the walkie-talkie and communicated with Xue Jinshan in the workshop.
The second production test began quickly.
After waiting for more than an hour, a batch of finished products were produced.
This time, the product still had many flaws. Xia Ruofei found that the parameters he adjusted didn't seem to have any obvious effect.
Therefore, he quickly began to analyze and adjust again.
Although the results weren't ideal twice in a row, Xia Ruofei wasn't discouraged at all.
It was normal for this kind of experiment to fail eight to ten times. Xia Ruofei had enough patience to slowly grind it out.
The third production test officially began after more than an hour. When the production line finished all the procedures, it was already eleven o 'clock at night.
This time, the effect seemed to be good. The particles in the ointment were significantly reduced.
It was already very late, and the herbs prepared for the day were all used up. Therefore, after Xia Ruofei asked for a sample, he let Xue Jinshan and the others go back to rest.
He also told Liu Lin and the other veterans to pay attention to the security in the control room. Then, he drove away from the pharmaceutical factory.
On the way, Xia Ruofei sent the third batch of samples into the Ring-Tu space for Xia Qing to examine.
In line with Xia Ruofei's judgment, the Muscle Jade Ointment barely reached the intermediate level. Although it still didn't reach the effect that Xia Ruofei expected, at least it was developing in a good direction.
Xia Ruofei wasn't discouraged by the results of the three experiments. On the contrary, he was full of confidence because he knew that he had found the crux of the problem. All he needed was more time and more experiments to adjust and improve the parameters step by step.
He already told Xue Jinshan to prepare ten more sets of herbs according to today's list.
