Unknowingly.
More than two months had passed since the "secret stone incident". Han Dong could be regarded as a senior mystery apprentice in his second year.
His study of the library and mysteries had almost reached the limit of the current stage, and there was little improvement if he continued to study.
As for the level of the "little magic eye", it was directly linked to Han Dong's head.
Before the faceless head was upgraded, the little magic eye could only be maintained at the [Volume Two – Pupil Seal] stage.
This meant that if he wanted to increase his strength, he could only do so through fate points … Han Dong even faintly touched a bottleneck, and began to desire to break the seed.
Breaking the seed had to be done step by step, and Han Dong also tried to slow down his mentality as much as possible.
Therefore, in these two months, Han Dong put his mind on a sideline that he was very interested in.
[Alchemy].
The level of science and technology in the Holy City stopped at the first industrial revolution.
Because of the emergence of higher life forms, a very small number of humans were restricted to living in a sealed city.
The main problem was not the development of science and technology, but how to obtain the ability to resist the life forms outside the city from the destiny space.
In the world where science and technology were far inferior to Han Dong's previous life.
Among them, the retention of [Alchemy] was a good example.
Alchemy, in essence, was a kind of ancient chemistry. Human understanding of chemical reactions only stopped at the surface (not able to realize the microscopic level).
However, because of the existence of magic and abilities in the Holy City, the development of alchemy was different.
Alchemists would understand various chemical reactions from the corners of magic, thus deriving a unique technology tree from Han Dong's previous life.
The preparation of various kinds of potions was essential.
High-efficiency potions refined through alchemy could provide instantaneous energy replenishment, HP recovery, and physical strength replenishment.
Some of the more advanced potions could even increase combat power, magic enhancement, and even provide visual combat effects, which could bring a great hope of survival to the knights in the destiny space.
In Han Dong's long study of alchemy, the most important point was the "symbol".
The alchemists in the Holy City did not write any chemical formula, nor did they know any chemical formula.
They integrated alchemy reactions with their own magic, and expressed it in the form of an abstract "symbol".
For example, the preparation of a certain active potion, the symbol was represented as.
He only needed to draw a formation with the symbol on it, or wear a glove with the symbol on it.
Once the raw materials were prepared according to the ratio and driven by alchemy magic, the activation energy needed for the chemical reaction could be replaced and the reaction could take place directly.
It seemed simple.
In fact, the drawing of symbols was also a form of knowledge.
There was a book called "The Symbol System" in the library. It was more than a thousand pages thick and contained nearly a million words to describe the drawing of symbols and their details.
At the same time, during the alchemy process, the alchemist's control of magic was also tested. Whether it was evenly or explosively driving the symbols, the precision of each step would affect the quality of the final alchemy product.
For some advanced alchemy products, multiple "symbols" needed to be "overlapped", "connected", or "complex fusion" to achieve this, so it also corresponded to several driving steps.
Once there was a mistake in any part of the process, it would lead to the failure of the alchemy. It could even lead to a major accident.
Due to the uniqueness of the symbols, the alchemists in the Holy City specialized in a certain type of alchemy.
…
Han Dong was studying and memorizing basic symbols, so he wasn't affected by the solidification mode.
After all, Han Dong's mind was filled with the periodic table of elements and a large number of reaction equations.
If there was enough time, Han Dong could even create symbols according to some equations and make some products that had never been heard of in the Holy City.
However, since Han Dong embarked on the path of a minor, it meant that his "time" would be squeezed out.
Therefore, Han Dong could only focus on making money, rather than scientific research and development.
After investigation, all kinds of medical potions and energy potions were basically saturated.
Moreover, for a novice alchemist like Han Dong, the potions made by him might not reach the standard of purity and be unable to circulate in the market.
However, Han Dong aimed at a blind spot in the market in a short time.
"Pressure"
At this stage, it was an unavoidable problem for humans.
The generation of pressure mainly came from the spiritual level.
Because they saw the indescribable faces of the creatures outside the city.
They heard some kind of horrible whisper implanted in the cerebellum.
Or they suffered from near-death pollution trauma.
Even if the pollution was purified by the Holy Light, the spiritual pressure in the brain still existed, like a nightmare surrounding the brain. If it couldn't be vented in time, it would lead to insomnia, hallucinations, self-harm, and eventually suicide.
To some extent, it was somewhat similar to "depression."
The preparation of stress-relieving potions in the Holy City was very complicated, often involving more than ten "symbols." The final potion was very precious and expensive.
This kind of potion was often given to the important members of the Knights for use during the "expedition."
In Han Dong's memory, there were a lot of molecular formulas and production processes of antidepressants.
After all, during the postgraduate entrance examination, he basically flipped through the book "Medicinal Chemistry."
There was an antidepressant that could be easily prepared, which gave Han Dong the idea of mass production. If the effect was good and mass production could be achieved, a steady stream of funds would flow into Han Dong's hands.
And the Holy City would have one more stress-relieving potion at a reasonable price.
…
"Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine).
It is widely found in mammalian tissues, especially in the cerebral cortex and nerve synapses. It is a messenger that can produce pleasant emotions.
Serotonin affects almost every aspect of brain activity: from the regulation of mood, energy, memory, and even a person's outlook on life.
Studies have shown that people with lower levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine are more prone to depression, impulsive behavior, alcoholism, suicide, aggression, and violent behavior.
I even suspect that the synthesis rate of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the brain of humans who have been "polluted" is seriously hindered.
Try to use alchemy to create a drug that can catalyze and increase the synthesis of 5-hydroxytryptamine in the human brain.
But in the background of this era, a compound with a multi-ring structure is probably very difficult to prepare. Even if it passes the test of the laboratory, mass production is not easy.
Let's give it a try. If it succeeds, not only will I gain huge economic benefits, but the stress situation of the entire Holy City will also be improved.
During the experiment, I will try to borrow funds from Brother Demps.
When the finished product is out, I will apply for research funds from Mr. Black And White. "
Han Dong wrote down all the molecular formulas of the antidepressant that he could remember.
After purchasing a batch of benzene-containing substances, he immediately used Mr. Black And White's privilege to go to the area outside the city.
This time, he naturally took Demps with him. In other words, every time he went out of the city, he would take Demps with him. He had to please this project sponsor.
