Chapter 577 - 577 577 The Terrifying Effects of the New Drug

577: Chapter 577: The Terrifying Effects of the New Drug 577: Chapter 577: The Terrifying Effects of the New Drug “I really didn’t expect our experiment to come around so quickly.”

At the moment, Zhao Guang and Ye Zhi were inside the prison, and certainly, more people had come along than just the two of them.

Aside from Ye Zhi’s assistants, there were also many medical experts helping with the experiment.

As soon as they arrived, these experts began to adjust and install various kinds of professional equipment.

“Of course, you’ve underestimated the power of those above us.”

Elder Ye personally gave the order, and now many other elders are watching over it.

How could it not proceed quickly?

The only reason it took a day was to notify others; otherwise, we could have come the next day.”

“Alright, these are the clinical trial subjects.” Ye Zhi saw that someone was leading a group of people over.

The enthusiasm of some people was palpable as they leaped at the chance to participate in the experiment.

Yet despite appearing quite fearful, the people before them did not seem to have any intention of backing down, clearly not being coerced.

“Why are these people so eager?” Zhao Guang asked, somewhat puzzled.

“That’s quite normal because this is a new drug trial, and it’s considered a significant contribution.”

“Is it really worth it though?

After all, experimental drugs could potentially cause serious side effects.

Do they know that my potions don’t leave any side effects?”

Can modern medical research really compare to the potions I create through Alchemy?

I can fully control every aspect of my potions and know they don’t need to go through so-called clinical trials.

Modern medicines are different; few pass the tests.

Despite the annual introduction of new medicines, many more fail than succeed.

“After all, individuals vary, and even if side effects occur, it’s better than being dead, I suppose.”

Ye Zhi looked over and said, “Those who are most enthusiastic are mostly death row inmates.

They don’t want to die, so they must earn a reprieve soon.

Your new medicine is of great merit.”

A person nearby added, “Yeah, don’t feel sorry for them.

We’ve already told them that just by participating in the experiment, their death sentences will be commuted to life imprisonment, and life imprisonment to indefinite terms.”

Zhao Guang understood.

No wonder so many inmates, by showing good behavior, gradually obtained commutations and were eventually released.

It turns out all of these were bargains made with their lives on the line.

After all, one stroke of bad luck could mean an immediate end.

They might even suffer a death far more agonizing than a bullet.

“Alright then, let’s begin.

First up is the hemostatic powder.”

“You just sprinkle it on the wound, right?”

Zhao Guang nodded, “It can be directly applied to the wound, or consumed orally; either way, it will be effective.”

On hearing this, everyone around widened their eyes.

A medicine that can be both topical and ingested with effective results was rare.

Typically, a topical medication was meant just for that, and oral medication for ingestion.

“What if it’s dissolved in solution and injected?” an expert suddenly inquired.

“It should also work, I suppose.

I haven’t tested it, but there shouldn’t be a problem.” I know the properties of my own medicines.

However, the method of injection is almost never used in the Otherworld.

Direct consumption is so much more convenient than injection, and medicines in the Otherworld are known for their rapid effects anyway.

“Let’s add an injection group for comparison in the experiment.”

And then, more test subjects were selected for trials.

Soon, various wounds were inflicted on these subjects.

If it weren’t for the difficulty in simulating internal bleeding, they might have gone even further.

This process, however, sent shivers down the spines of the onlookers.

“Don’t worry, those injured will be given time to heal while we continue to observe the drug’s effects.

This will be like a vacation for them.”

The prison guard spoke casually, aware that those who ended up here hardly ever had a moment of rest.

Such a break was an exceptional respite for them.

Zhao Guang took a closer look and indeed, despite their fear, those people also looked envious.

“Such strong results, look quickly.”

Suddenly, everyone’s attention was drawn to the previously injured test subjects whose bleeding had stopped.

Even one with a severed blood vessel had the bleeding halt on the spot, and the effectiveness was truly terrifying.

The experts surrounded the test bodies, continuously analyzing the underlying principles, eager to understand how the drug worked.

In reality, I would find it difficult to explain in medical terms; some of the special substances don’t exist on Earth, so they will need to research that themselves.

Zhao Guang had no intention of spending time and energy on such matters.

As the research deepened, even Zhao Guang began to realize he could not clarify everything about his work.

Lately, he even thought of training some Mage Apprentices to help with the fringe aspects of his research.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have enough time, so he would have to think of ways to recruit more Mage Assistants in the future.

“It’s incredible, according to our tests, this medicine is highly effective even for severe internal bleeding, and the key point is that there are no side effects.”

“Let’s not jump to conclusions too quickly.

Continue the observation.

Submit the results and apply for a clinical trial.”

Many special effects can’t be fully understood simply through these volunteers.

One must go to a hospital since it’s where various and unexpected situations can develop.

“Let’s begin testing the second potion.”

The first potion already demonstrated such a terrifying effect; everyone was now very much interested in the last two potions.

“This anesthesia can be drank directly, though injection should be fine too,” Zhao Guang mentioned proactively before they could ask.

Strictly speaking, all of his potions were injectable.

Normally, after consuming these potions, they would quickly permeate throughout the bloodstream.

That’s right, permeate, not absorb, which is a different mechanism from Earth’s medications.

The others nodded and immediately began the trial.

Then they watched as the test subjects lay down one by one.

Apparently awake with eyes open, they felt nothing throughout their bodies.

Even when pricked with needles in areas that would normally cause intense pain, these subjects had no reaction.

Looking aside from other factors, based purely on the anesthetic effect and speed, this was top-tier efficacy.

Many anesthetics in use can leave some sensation—even when reduced—they’re not completely insensate.

To be frank, the sensation of a knife cutting through one’s flesh is not a pleasant one.

At this moment, the experts were thoroughly captivated by the terrifying effects of the drug.
