Chapter 413: Dregs and Essence
After the minibus passed through this small town.
Turn into a tunnel and arrive at the door of a laboratory located in a nature reserve.
The laboratory is built on the hillside, surrounded by towering mountains, dense jungles, and the occasional chirping of insects.
Li Qingye got off the minibus and glanced at the sign at the door: Natural Medicine Laboratory (4407).
Hearing Li Qingye's arrival, Manning, the laboratory director, hurried over to greet him.
"Hoohoo... Welcome Mr. Chairman to come and give us your guidance."
Li Qingye smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, just follow your daily work inspection schedule. I just stopped by to take a look."
Manning also breathed a sigh of relief.
Bagheira stayed in the minibus and kept in touch with the headquarters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while Sangjibada Layal followed Li Qingye into the laboratory.
This laboratory may not look large on the surface, but it is actually quite large because some of its facilities are hidden in the mountains and underground.
Passing through the large botanical garden, you can see tropical plants from Southeast Asia.
In addition, there are many special eco-friendly plant greenhouses, which use technology to achieve subtropical, temperate, subarctic and arctic climates, and can grow plants from those climate zones.
"I heard that you are working on a complete analysis of the genes and components of natural plants. What is the current progress?"
Manning quickly replied: "The genes and components of 753 plants have been studied."
“It’s a long way to go!”
“This is also due to the full support of the company.”
Suddenly Li Qingye remembered something: "By the way , I heard that the Chinese Medicine Research Institute is also doing work in this area? Have you had any communication?"
Manning nodded: "Yes, in fact, many of the plants we study give priority to those that are used as herbs."
Sapiens Company does not reject Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, but that does not mean that Sapiens will blindly apply the mysterious theories of traditional Chinese medicine.
If those guys had a little bit of scientific spirit and materialism, their personalities wouldn't have collapsed.
Li Qingye has always been against blindly copying and clinging to old ways. The times are progressing, technology is developing, but it is ridiculous to still cling to metaphysical theories from hundreds of years ago.
Just like this herbal medicine laboratory in front of you.
It collected various medicinal plants from the entire Indochina Peninsula and brought together traditional medicine practitioners from the entire Indochina Peninsula to conduct comprehensive research and analysis on drugs and prescriptions.
Why a herb or herbal prescription works, what are its active ingredients, and whether it can be improved and industrialized are all research topics.
If we all follow the traditional empiricism, then Chinese medicine will be doomed.
Instead of revealing the secrets of the uses and principles of meridians and acupoints, they cling to theories from hundreds of years ago and insist on the traditional apprenticeship training model. No wonder they are beaten badly by modern medicine.
In this era of competition, if you don't want to innovate, you will be eliminated by the times.
Li Qingye thought some people were ridiculous. With all the modern testing technologies and sophisticated instruments, couldn't Chinese medicine innovate? They had to stick to tradition and treat the old metaphysical theories as the Bible.
According to his ancestors' memories, many of them had studied Chinese medicine and were very familiar with that obscure system.
The various strange terms alone are enough to overwhelm beginners, and it would be impossible to become a master without more than ten years of practice.
Mysticism, empiricism, and the apprenticeship system that leaves everything to chance are self-destructive.
Now, the medical and scientific ministries of Homo sapiens have comprehensively required traditional medicine practitioners to use unified terminology and to provide precise, accurate and detailed scientific explanations.
You cannot use vague terms such as "getting angry", "dampness", "evil spirit" and so on. Everything must be targeted and don't make things confusing.
As for the idea that prescriptions should be tailored to the individual, the Ministry of Health agrees with this concept, but believes that this concept is not comprehensive and should be further expanded.
Why should we have different prescriptions for different people?
It’s not that every patient’s pathological conditions are different, but many traditional Chinese medicine practitioners do not study the details and analysis of pathology at all, but rely entirely on experience.
The Medical Department requires that the patient's pathology be described as detailed as possible, and then scientifically summarized and analyzed.
The human body is an organic system. The systemic treatment concept upheld by traditional Chinese medicine is very good, but this concept still has room for further development.
Since the human body is an organic system, problems in various organs may affect each other. So why not completely decompose each disease, break down systemic diseases into individual organ diseases, and then further subdivide them, and then study the laws and principles behind them.
After breaking down organ diseases, organ branch diseases, branch cell diseases, organelle diseases, and genetic diseases, these small diseases are put back together to establish a combined disease model.
As long as the classification is detailed enough, there must be something in common in all people's pathologies. After all, humans are all carbon-based organisms and the same species.
At the atomic level, all human beings are the same.
It is based on this set of theories that the Institute of Traditional Medicine under the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Science has made many new discoveries.
Currently, there are 23,000 micro-pathology models alone, with more than 550 million pathology samples.
In this way, it even helped artificial intelligence doctors make great progress.
Now the artificial intelligence within Homo sapiens can already judge a person's physiological condition through superficial information such as complexion, skin color, tongue coating, pulse, body temperature, and eyeballs, with an accuracy of about 96%.
If pheromones, magnetic fields, brain waves, hormones and symbiotic worms implanted in the body are combined, the accuracy can even reach over 99%.
This is the development direction of traditional Chinese medicine.
As for the Natural Medicine Laboratory, its current mission is to study the pharmacology of all traditional herbs and then improve them, while also further expanding the pharmacology research of wild animals and plants.
After all, many Chinese medicine prescriptions were developed based on plant and animal materials from East Asia.
Animal and plant materials from other regions have enormous medicinal value and must contain many natural ingredients that have not yet been discovered.
In addition, animals and plants that were previously useless also need to be re-studied in depth. After all, today's extraction and separation technology is several orders of magnitude higher than that of ancient times. Just because they could not be used before does not mean that these cannot be used.
With the huge investment of Homo sapiens and advanced concepts, Chinese medicine has completed its evolution on the side of Homo sapiens.
The new humans have biochips and intelligent assistance systems, and every Chinese medicine practitioner can be compared with the top old Chinese medicine practitioners in the Far East.
In addition, Chinese medicine no longer uses the processed medicinal materials of the past, but instead uses extracts of various active ingredients.
This eliminates the inconsistency in therapeutic effects caused by differences in medicinal ingredients.
For example, wild ginseng, forest ginseng , and garden ginseng all look like ginseng, but the content of their active ingredients is different.
Even the top national players cannot rely on experience to accurately determine the content of active ingredients in each medicinal material.
Therefore, promoting the standardization, industrialization and artificial synthesis of the effective ingredients of Chinese medicinal materials is also a necessary path for the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.
Now the entire East is extremely shocked by Homo sapiens' intelligent traditional Chinese medicine and finely customized Chinese patent medicines.
Many top national players have secretly tried intelligent Chinese medicine, and they found that it is indeed very powerful and can be compared with them.
