Permanent medicines are expensive and will greatly reduce the user's natural lifespan after injection, to only eight to ten years.
Time-sensitive medicines are relatively cheap to make, but can only be used for one to two years. However, they do much less damage to the body and only shorten one to two years of life.
It's hard to say which of the two medicines is more cost-effective.
But what is certain is that once the 'Night Traveling God' comes out, it will greatly change the power structure among large organizations.
If Jiang Hong, who used the 'Night Traveling God' potion at that time, was used as a reference, Luo Yan was certain that people who had been injected with the potion had combat power that could threaten high-level cultivators.
This is where the preciousness of the 'Night Wandering God' potion lies. It can give an ordinary person an instant high-level combat power.
To cultivate a high-level environment requires investing a lot of time and resources.
Of course, practitioners will basically have no side effects during the practice.
The side effects of the 'Night Wandering God' medicine are much greater, even if they are 'time-sensitive'.
In addition, it requires the use of 'Shebi Corpse Blood Essence' to extract the required materials, which will result in the 'Night Wandering God' potion being unable to be mass-produced and making it difficult to reduce costs.
Small and medium-sized organizations certainly cannot afford it. Only large organizations such as 'Yellow Spring' and 'Black Witch' can master it.
After mastering this potion, Luo Yan imagined that the 'Night Wandering God' potion could only be used on dead soldiers.
But it still does not prevent it from playing a major and decisive role in certain events.
"What were the side effects of the trial model used by Jiang Hong at that time?" Luo Yan thought of another question.
Zhang Deye shook his head: "Jiang Hong's trial version has serious side effects. First of all, it is time-sensitive and can only last for one to three days."
"Secondly, it causes huge damage to human genes. After the medicinal properties are over, the person is basically useless."
"In addition, because it is a trial model and the formula is incomplete, a lot of materials will be wasted during production, which will invisibly increase its cost."
"But even so, Jiang Hong is still a genius. There are too many imaginative things in his original formula and he is full of creativity."
"Honestly, it was quite difficult for me just to perfect his formula."
"And to create such a formula is basically impossible."
"This is the difference between genius and ordinary people."
Luo Yan patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's already amazing that you can perfect his formula."
This is the truth.
It was because Zhang Deye was the only researcher in the base who had participated in the 'Underworld Ghost' project that Luo Yan asked him to take over. However, Luo Yan did not have high hopes for Tuozi.
All he asked Tuozi was to copy the 'Night Wandering God' potion. Now Zhang Deye was able to go one step further on Jiang Hong's trial model, perfecting Old Man Jiang's formula and creating two potions, 'permanent' and 'time-sensitive'. Much beyond his expectation.
Now Luo Yan is very satisfied with Zhang Deye's performance and plans to reward him well.
After listening to some reports from Zhang Deye on the 'Huangquan Evil Ghost' project, Luo Yan left the Central Laboratory and the Underground Research Institute.
It can be said that Zhang Deye's mind was completely focused on the 'Night Wandering God' potion, so he did not put much energy into other projects of 'The Evil Ghost of Underworld'.
At most, they have perfected the formulas of ghost weapons such as 'Hell's Spear Soldier' and 'Ghost General', and slightly reduced the production cost, but they have not developed new projects.
But after having the 'Night Traveling God' potion, Luo Yan was wondering whether he could use the blood essence of other giant beasts to develop other potions.
Or let Zhang Deye continue to dig deeper into the 'Night Wandering God' potion and strive to reduce the cost and side effects of the potion.
However, these are things for the future.
Now let's wait for Zhang Deye to produce a new version of the 'Night Wandering God' potion, conduct experiments, collect data, and then formulate a report and submit it to the 'Black Witch' so that he can apply for more resources.
Only with the above resources can we conduct more research.
However, Luo Yan was worried that after obtaining these data and reports, the upper management of the 'Black Witch' would forcibly take away the entire project, including Zhang Deye.
After thinking about it, Luo Yan asked Luo Yao to go find Zhang Deye and ask Tuozi to make some backups when the time came.
After he calmed down, he saw several missed calls on his mobile phone.
It was Yu Qiushui who called.
Luo Yan called back.
Unlike last time, this time the bell just rang and Yu Qiushui answered it.
"Where did you die!"
"My sister has made so many phone calls and still doesn't answer. Her wings are stiff, right?"
"If there is no reasonable explanation, I will not deal with you!"
Luo Yan couldn't help but move his phone away from his powerful words. He waited until Yu Qiushui finished speaking before he said.
"I was in the underground research institute just now, and mobile phones are not allowed into the laboratory. Do you think this explanation is reasonable?"
Yu Qiushui then snorted: "It's just so-so."
"Forget it, let's get down to business."
"The deputy director of your base was sent by Zhu You named Liang."
Luo Yan nodded: "I know, his name is Liang Ze."
"I have made an appointment with him to meet in a few days."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.
Then Yu Qiushui said in a faint voice: "Okay, Chi Gui, you are quite capable of this."
"I've already found out the person myself, so why do I need my sister to do anything?"
"Hey, I'm just superfluous."
Luo Yan felt a headache and thought that this woman was so stingy sometimes. He also wanted to take the initiative and gain an advantage, so he took a two-pronged approach.
This was good, but Yu Qiushui was not happy about it.
He thought for a while and changed the topic: "The formula of the Night Walker Potion has been perfected. Next, we will conduct experiments, collect data, and then make adjustments."
"I believe it won't take long before it can be put into use."
"However, this piece of meat is too fat, and my branch team cannot eat it."
"I wonder if the Xuan Ming Department is interested?"
Suddenly.
Yu Qiushui's laughter sounded on the phone.
"Chigui, Chigui, you have a conscience, don't forget to call me sister when you eat meat."
"Sister, I love you the most."
"I'm interested, of course I'm interested."
"But as you said, this meat is too fat. We have to make a long-term plan to prevent others from swallowing it."
"After you finish the experiment, don't be too busy handing in the report. Wait until I arrange the layout."
Luo Yan's understanding of the 'Black Witch' was naturally not as good as Yu Qiushui's, so he did not refuse after hearing the words, and readily agreed: "I'll listen to you."
"Well, be good, my sister likes you the most."
After saying that, Yu Qiushui hung up the phone.
A few days passed quickly.
Today, Luo Yan received the news.
Liang Ze will arrive at Chunyu Base in the afternoon.
Cha Song asked Luo Shu to tell this news on his behalf. After hearing this, Luo Yan said to Luo Shu.
"Tell Zhang Deye that the underground research institute has been temporarily closed for the past few days. It is said that an accident occurred and the facilities need maintenance."
Luo Yao didn't ask why he did this, he just agreed and went to do the work.
