Episode 379
Moreover, the result of the process was also very good.
Powerful repellent!
At this level, even the strongest fantasy parasite, Solitude, may be paralyzed for a moment!
In the beginning, Jin Cheon-hee, as a surgeon, did not actually have great abilities in the pharmaceutical field.
However, after arriving at the martial arts world of Dosan Geomlim, he is somehow able to make it through various opportunities, exhausting martial arts training, and an obsession that borders on madness.
Of course, if she said this out loud, the members of the research ward would cough up blood, but in any case, it could be said that Jin Cheon-hee was somehow leading the way in a field that was not her major.
Thanks to this, in this medical exchange, we can say that we are developing new drugs by borrowing the knowledge of Dangga, who can be said to be the best expert(?) in this area.
“Ha, I’m worried about the side effects, but… I’m glad I found it.”
“…It’s better than dying because of solitude, having your organs eaten and puncturing you or your internal organs melting. Hehehe. “Isn’t it better than having a master paralyze you with a long needle and then extract it every time you learn a medical technique?”
Jin Cheon-hee recalled the time when it was removed from Yeo Ha-ryun’s body.
“Well, depending on the loneliness, there is a way to paralyze it with an ice ball… but there aren’t many doctors who can use it.”
“I guess what happens next is now in the hands of the White Cloaked Divine Dragon.”
Jin Cheonhee nodded.
In my current state, even if I kill loneliness, I cannot guarantee my body’s safety.
It is difficult to actually administer.
However, since the core elements have been completed, is this enough?
A guy who worked at a pharmaceutical company once said this.
‘Developing new drugs is hard work. It’s luck and hard work.’
He said with a straight face.
Usually, new drug development involves discovery and development.
It goes through these two things.
What we did this time at Tangga was this discovery stage.
The planning department of Hyundai Pharmaceutical Company also calls it ‘Discovery’.
It means identifying the cause of a disease and then finding a substance that can treat it.
In modern times, you have to design the material structure and mix the structures to create it.
Usually, it is a very painful process, takes several years, and there is a high possibility of failure along the way.
After making it like that, we now have to see whether this drug is effective or safe.
In the history of mankind, the process of developing new drugs has been similar at all times and everywhere.
99% hard work and 1% luck.
Success rate 0.01%.
In modern times, it is said that this process can be improved with the development of technologies such as artificial intelligence.
According to a person in the field, AI is not as smart as you might think, so I heard that no matter how much technology develops, the human mentality remains the same.
However, in Hyundai, where Jin Cheon-hee was present, the drug was eventually commercialized based on countless clinical trials, statistics, and that data.
Kangho.
‘Kkekekekekeut Do you really want to live? If you take this medicine, it might save your life. However, even if that happens, you may become a wreck for the rest of your life. Are you prepared? Yeonja. Hahaha!’ The difference is that some crazy worker throws it away.
From a modern perspective, this is a clear violation of pharmaceutical law.
‘Is it imprisonment of up to 5 years and a fine of up to 50 million won?’
Labor and management will be judged by the pharmaceutical law.
‘….’
First of all, Jin Cheon-hee decided to maintain the minimum level of conscience as a medical professional, even if it was difficult to reach modern standards.
We plan to return to Baeklin Uigak to test side effects and explore whether improvements can be made by using acupuncture or Chuna to increase safety.
“Trust me! “I will definitely complete it!”
“Oh! Indeed, a white-robed divine dragon! “I’ll look forward to it!”
Jin Cheon-hee was able to complete the entire schedule and leave Sacheondanga with an extremely happy face.
Looking at Jin Tianxi like that, Sima Xuan thought.
‘Hmm, I’ve never seen you smile so brightly~?’
Although this evaluation was made because he did not see the birth of the second streptomycin created with Yoo Ho, it is true that Jin Cheon-hee is happy.
“Do you like him that much?”
“huh. Discovering new things is always fun. “Even after going through a hard time, when I find something like this, I feel like all the old problems are going away.”
“Is it that much of a discovery?”
At those words, Jin Cheonhee spoke empty-handedly.
“We’ve only discovered one key thing… but if we can take the right steps and commercialize it as expected, we can save many people.”
“Even if you don’t have a brother?”
Jin Cheon-hee still responded to those words with the same expression.
“Yes, I’m making sure you can go back without me in the first place. Ultimately, medicine is something that an unspecified number of people should benefit from. “There is a long way to go, though.”
For some reason, I couldn’t imagine it.
Suddenly, Jin Cheonhee scratched her head.
“But it’s not like I’m working on something great. “I’m just doing it because it’s fun.”
At that time, Jin Cheon-hee asked with a hot expression.
“Does it look too strange?”
“Some people enjoy killing things in and of themselves, so the opposite could also be true. “What’s important is the feeling of accomplishment of having done it, right?”
“Exactly.”
“Then that’s it.”
It was surprising because it was surprisingly easy to understand.
On the other hand, Sima Xuan was able to easily agree with Jin Tianxi’s words.
‘I still have the urge to suddenly rip off people’s faces, so the opposite could also happen.’
If I told you that the feeling of your skull being smashed is quite addictive, my brother would be offended.
Does not matter.
Anyway, Sima Xuan won’t tell that to Jin Tianxi.
Actually, I’m not going to go that route.
Although I had vaguely thought about that future when Sima Hye asked me to kill him.
Now the group is heading towards Yunnan Province, southeast of Sichuan Province.
If you take a boat from Sichuan Province, you will arrive in Yunnan, and it will be very hot as you go.
Sichuan Province itself has a unique climate that makes it easy for poisonous plants to grow, but Yunnan Province is a truly blessed environment with many jungles and swamps.
Therefore, in Yunnan Province, in addition to the Sichuan Tang clan, there have been clans and sects that have been dealing with poison since ancient times.
Most of them, like party families, operate in clans with the same surname and are very closed.
Among them, there was a sect that was the most powerful and dominated the entire Yunnan Province, and that was the Wudukmun.
Now the group was heading towards Odogmun Gate.
‘Master told us to draw the Five Dogs to our side.’
At that time, Hwanggu said, ‘Kung!’ He barked lowly and stood up.
“hmm? “Is there something being followed?”
Kiing?
Hwanggu, who was on guard for a moment, tilted his head.
“Did I smell something wrong?”
Hwang-
gu sat down with his butt pressed against the ground.
Sima Xuan asked.
“Do you think Hwanggu sometimes makes mistakes too?”
“huh. Humans make mistakes too, but is it true that spirits are always accurate? “Sometimes we make mistakes like this.”
Wow!
Hwanggu responded by wagging his tail wildly.
“Do you want a snack?”
Kkeung kung!
Jin Cheon-hee took out some beef jerky from his sleeve.
Meanwhile, a black figure that had been watching the ship from a distance, difficult to see with the naked eye, suddenly disappeared.
* * *
“I knew it was a jungle, but this is steamy. “Getting fat.”
Sima Xuan was flapping his fan enthusiastically inside the carriage.
It was now time to get off the ship and head overland.
It is hot and humid enough for tropical fruits to grow, and there are many high mountains, making the climate truly changeable.
So, there is an old saying that goes, Ilsan Yusagye Simnibudongcheon (一山有四季 十里不同天): There are four seasons in one mountain, and the climate changes when you go 10 ri further.
“No, it would be more convenient if there was at least a guest room in between.”
“From here on out, we don’t receive many outsiders, so we don’t even have guests.”
It is clearly part of the midfield, but it does not have full administrative power.
The majority of areas are underdeveloped.
‘Besides, there is a feeling that the midfielder also brought this situation upon himself.’
At least Yunnan and Chengdu are referred to as the central plains, but other regions are ignored and called outside the world even though they are within the border.
It is human to discriminate based on school or blood ties, but there is no way not to discriminate based on region.
Since the time of the Emperor, there has always been not only discrimination based on dialect but also administrative and bureaucratic discrimination.
Even though the emperor has changed and the empire’s policies have changed, it is impossible for those people to like the Central Plains people now.
‘It’s not a problem that can be solved in one or two years. This.’
Sima Hyeon continued.
“Actually, there is a stronger sense of identity as a tribe rather than a surname.”
“I heard that they call themselves the Hojok (虎族), Geumchungjok (禽蟲族), Tokwanjok (毒緩族), Sajok (蛇族), Jeokungjok (赤熊族), and Black Dragon tribe (黑龍族).”
“huh. Clan law takes precedence over imperial law. Martial arts are also very unique, so physical characteristics seem to stand out depending on the martial arts.”
“Are you from the magic or boat type?”
At those words, Sima Xuan frowned slightly.
“If I had to classify it, it would be closer to the Sa sect than the Right sect… but I understand that if a member of that clan learns it, the risk is low. On the contrary, it is dangerous if a foreigner learns it.”
“Hmm. “It’s really closed off.”
“that’s right. So, the door of Odogmun can only be opened if it is as big as our Geumhyeolbang. And Baekrin’s Pavilion.”
At those words, Jin Cheonhee shook his head vaguely.
“This sudden cooperation is unusual. “If you think about other regions, even compared to the party, our side is also on the exclusive side.”
After saying that, Jin Cheon-hee practiced the ice ball.
That alone lowered the surrounding temperature a little.
Sima Hyun’s expression, who was dying from the heat, softens a little.
“The invitation of Wu Dok-mun can ultimately be said to be an invitation to the entire Yunnan Province. Because the alliance of clans is ultimately a misreading. I heard that the master of the Five Readings is currently a member of the Geumchung tribe. Perhaps because my mother is from a different clan, I am somewhat more open-minded. “I heard that you won Munju’s position through a fierce competition.”
At those words, Jin Cheonhee asked with a serious expression.
“Life or death?”
“huh. Life or death. However, unlike Gangho, if you lose, you will definitely die. Even if you lose your will to fight and surrender, you will be executed.”
‘That’s the law of Yunnan.’
I immediately understood why Odogmun entered Sapa.
Sima Xuan spoke as if singing a song.
“Normally, it uses a martial art that is controlled by connecting a thread to the rain pipe, but its real weapon is poison. It uses poisonous insects such as snakes, scorpions, and spiders. It tries to avoid the rain, but if you can’t dodge it, it will bite you~”
“It’s scary.”
“Odeokshingong is the best martial art, but there are many different weapons. The only problem is that I don’t use swords or swords well.”
“It doesn’t seem to match the poison attack.”
“huh. I use the bow, poison needle, rain, moon, and flute. Even if that’s not the case, there was someone we fought with before and caught, right?”
“Yocheon-gun?”
“Yes, it’s a secret. There is speculation within the Murim Alliance that ‘Isn’t Yocheon-gun from the Odokmun family?…’
“…!”
It must have been quite confidential, but I managed to find out.
