Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 72 72. Change your thinking

 An alcoholic drink rich in vitamins, this is still for a witcher.

For ordinary people, this medicine is not poisonous to death, but dizziness is inevitable.

 The key to the problem is indeed concentration.

Lan En picked up a piece of dried honeysuckle and frowned at it.

  The active ingredients of rough-processed raw materials are not evenly distributed on the blades.

According to Bordon’s alchemical notes, the medicinal value of honeysuckle is mainly concentrated at the end of the petals away from the rhizome.

 About one-fifth of the petals at the base, the medicinal value is quite scarce.

This is still on the petals of a flower, and the active ingredients are already so unevenly distributed.

Not to mention the different flowers that grow in different areas.

 When alchemists make finished products, they mostly use their own experience and eyesight to increase or decrease the weight.

  To ensure that the active ingredients of the entire dosage form are at usable concentrations.

 In the home world, traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine mainly use molecular technology to completely extract medicinal ingredients from medicinal materials.

 The pressed tablets are almost completely pure medicinal ingredients!

 But in the environment Lan En currently finds himself in, talking about molecular technology is too unrealistic.

 After thinking briefly, Lan En made a decision.

“Mentos, if we give up our existing chemical experiment ideas and follow local alchemy ideas, how fast will our learning progress be?”

“It is expected that you will be able to fully master the production of [Swallow] in a total of about ten hours of practice.”

 During these ten hours, the main time will be spent on forming experience and entering the effective content of medicinal materials into the database.

 Alchemists need to spend most of their lives on becoming proficient in selecting medicinal materials.

 Because they must use their ordinary human senses to feel everything about the medicinal materials and form memories.

 And if you don’t practice your hands for one day, your hands will be useless, and if you don’t practice for three days, your brain will be useless.

 But for Lane and Mentos, they could even analyze each petal on a flower as an independent sample.

A large bag of dried flower petals contains more samples than an alchemist would gain from making potions in a lifetime!

 After all, they even have to make a bottle of potion before they know whether their hand is accurate.

 Isn’t it the pursuit of experience? Is this experience enough?

Furthermore, Mentos’s complete recording capabilities also prevent Lan En from experiencing technological decline at all.

This strategy is similar to training an AI to play Go.

  There is no emphasis on ideas and ways of thinking at all, it is just a pile of sample sizes.

“Let’s go in this direction, Mentos. If we master a more effective method in the future, we may switch back to precision chemistry, but now we need to prepare the medicine quickly and put it into use.”

“The new instruction has been received, and the auxiliary working method is changing. It has been completed. Please start the screening of medicinal materials and increase the data capacity.”

 From Aria's perspective, Lan put down the experimental equipment in his hand.

 Instead, he put the big package containing the raw materials on the table and poured out all the petals, leaves, and roots.

 Then he began to lie on it, watching, sniffing, and licking one by one. The extraordinary senses of the witcher are also a great help in experiments.

With the continuous input of medicinal material data, the proficiency of [Alchemy] is increasing with visible progress!

The practice of preparing [Swallow] takes ten hours, and on the list of plans, Lan also needs to learn [White Rafad], which can instantly restore a large amount of vitality, and the most important antidote [Strengthened White Honey].

But it does not take thirty hours, because there are many duplicates of the raw materials for potions. As long as you have experience with medicinal materials, Mentos estimates that the three potions may only take a total of eighteen or nineteen hours to complete. Achieve stable production.

 The combined use of three medicines is the "medical set" Lan En prepared for his surgery.

  He promised Margarita and Arethusa College, and he also wanted to kill all the head-eaters and the buyers behind him.

The power of that buyer can be seen just by looking at the secret port and more than a dozen sentries they built.

  Being able to deploy resources and manpower silently to the remote hills of Wellen in a medieval world with stagnant transportation environment, the opponent is at least much more powerful than Veserad, the lord of Wellen!

And what is the level of Veserad, a lord who rules a province?

He has nearly a thousand low-level soldiers under his command!

This is not something that a witcher can solve with a few bottles of magic potion, no doubt about it.

 He needs more unstoppable power!

“Aliya, my experimental ideas have changed a bit. You don’t need to clean the test tubes here. Go and have a rest. Just remember to bring me food.”

 The lively little girl curled her lips and walked out reluctantly.

 She found it quite interesting to see Lan En busy here, even less boring than her favorite dance with swords and guns.

It is magic after all. Aria was extremely curious about this thing that was only mentioned in her parents' bedtime stories.

 But now that she has become a servant, her tutor also made her understand that she should follow the instructions of her "adult".

"But I am a girl. Although I am recognized as a squire, I am still a girl! There are no girls in Westeros who are squires, so I must be a special exception!"

The girl who walked out of the door of the alchemy classroom did not obey the instructions and go back to rest. Instead, she stood on the glass opening of the door and looked in excitedly.

 The corridor here has students from Arethusa passing by from time to time.

These sorceress reservists already have some of the demeanor of their predecessors, in terms of hot clothes and bold personalities.

　　When they pass by, they always look at Aaliya with a subtle look.

 This makes the little girl a little shy.

　　Although she has been resisting her mother’s “lady education”, she was evaluated by her father as having “the blood of the running wolf of the Stark family in her body”.

 But this "Blood of Running Wolf" is of no use to the bold attire of the sorceress students!

She dared to use her "sewing needle" to **** the trafficker's arm on the boat, but now she blushed and did not dare to look at the sorcerer student who was teasing her.

　　A slim or plump attractive figure, vaguely visible under clothes.

It was difficult for the little girl not to be distracted by this sight.

People pursue beauty, and young women will have a natural affinity towards beautiful adult women.

“They really dare to wear it! Maybe it’s because they need to wear it to release magic?”

Aliya scratched her head.

She didn't know that the revealing clothes were a mockery of the sorceresses' secular prejudices, and she just focused on guessing the magic she was curious about.

　　The little girl with her head shivering turned around and walked away.

 She couldn't get used to the teasing gazes of others after all.
