Chapter 577 -353: Lin Qi’s World-Shaking Theory, Baili Xueyuan Is Lured Out
“I understand. You need me to design an instrument to detect the ‘Phase State’ of Extraordinary Materials. Then, using an algorithm, it would automatically match these ‘Phase States’.”
“Following this logic, we could one day produce Base Potions with a base value exceeding 150 without any human intervention.”
As the chairwoman of United Pharmaceutical, Liu Xuan understood just how disruptive this would be to the entire Pharmacy industry, even though she wasn’t a Pharmaceutical Researcher herself.
This could be the key to solving the severe shortage in S-Class Potion production.
Hearing this, Lin Qi first nodded, then shook his head.
He used his Prosthetic Body to transmit his voice directionally.
The voice sounded only in Liu Xuan’s ear. “Not exactly. Actually, in my vision, if the instrument could truly perform such a precise analysis, the final product wouldn’t be a Base Potion. It would be a true S-Class Potion. During the creation of an S-Class Potion, the ‘inspiration’ Talent only serves to judge and guide.”
At these words, her pupils contracted sharply.
Then, without any prompting from Lin Qi, she immediately raised her voice and said, “From a technical standpoint, even if your hypothesis is correct and the Phase Theory is fully proven, instrumental analysis could never achieve such high precision.”
“Using purely machine-based analysis, a Base Potion with a base value of 140 is probably the absolute limit.”
‘It absolutely cannot exceed 150!’
‘Otherwise, this would be a world-shattering achievement, not just for the Pharmacy industry, but for the entire domain of Extraordinary Professions.’
‘United Pharmaceutical can’t handle it!’
‘Forget United Pharmaceutical—even the Eastern Alliance and the Asian Big Business Alliance combined couldn’t control something like this!’
‘Mass-producing S-Class Potions is equivalent to mass-producing S-Class Extraordinary Professionals.’
‘The impact this would have on the world order is too radical.’
‘It would inevitably trigger a new round of corporate wars, perhaps even a global crusade against the Asian Administrative Region.’
Liu Xuan was sharp; she immediately understood why Lin Qi had spoken to her in private.
Lin Qi’s plan was to proceed in stages. Initially, the Phase Theory would just be a tool—a sharp one—in the hands of S-Class and Quasi-S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers.
The production of S-Class Potions could be increased, but not mass-produced.
This was why Lin Qi had explicitly stated the project’s objective in his proposal: “To perfect the Phase Theory and create a white paper on S-Class Pharmacy materials.”
After Liu Xuan finished speaking, horrified expressions appeared on the faces of the many S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers in the circular conference room.
The Phase Theory was just too revolutionary. They couldn’t even imagine the circumstances under which Lin Qi could have discovered the existence of “Phase States.”
“Young Lin Qi, can this Phase Theory be real? Do you really see Extraordinary Materials as… pieces of a puzzle? That’s a staggering concept.”
“Can human inspiration truly reach such heights? Can the gap in Talent between S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers really be this wide? Generations of S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers have only had a vague sense of Extraordinary Materials. Who would have thought that in the eyes of a genius, the world would look like this?”
While the veteran S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers were reeling in shock, Xu Qinghe, who was sitting not far from Lin Qi, had a thoughtful look in her eyes.
She was deep in thought, recalling her own experiences with Potion crafting.
Suddenly, she spoke up. “It’s true. When you’re not using instruments for analysis, making a Potion does feel a lot like putting together a puzzle.”
“Sometimes, even when the instruments show an improved Potion score, I can’t shake the feeling that a certain material is just… unnatural when I add it.”
“But the moment a ‘Spiritual Light’ appears, the Potion has a smooth, natural, and even complete feeling to it.”
“Could it be that the essence of Potion crafting is to reconstruct some kind of Extraordinary Item using Extraordinary Materials? Yes, ‘reconstruct’… that’s the perfect word for it! And it fits perfectly with the ‘puzzle’ metaphor in this report!”
Not everyone was simply stunned.
To a true genius, Lin Qi’s proposal was like a key opening the door to a whole new world.
The puzzle metaphor was a moment of epiphany for Xu Qinghe.
Seeing Xu Qinghe’s reaction, the others were left speechless.
If the Phase Theory had been Lin Qi’s idea alone, they might have dismissed it as the ravings of a madman.
But now, someone else understood it. Someone agreed with it. And from the perspective of a genius with a powerful “inspiration” Talent, she had even described the same puzzle-like feeling.
In that case, they had no choice but to take this proposal seriously.
Perhaps, from the perspective of a genius researcher, the world of Pharmacy truly was different.
It wasn’t a purely empirical field anymore; it was gaining a scientific foundation.
The Phase Theory could become the first unified theory in the Pharmacy Domain.
A discovery like this was akin to the apple that fell on Newton’s head centuries ago, defining the field of classical mechanics.
“If the Phase Theory is proven, S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers will have a theoretical framework to guide them. Potion creation will be conducted within a rigorous framework.”
“This could elevate a Pharmaceutical Researcher’s crafting ability by a whole tier. Researchers stuck at the entry-level might even have a chance to advance directly to S-Class!”
It would still be heavily dependent on Talent, but the birth of the Phase Theory was like giving this group of “primitive” researchers their first set of “standardized tools.”
For the Pharmacy Domain, this was truly revolutionary.
Thankfully, however, creating S-Class Potions remained the exclusive domain of S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers. Even Liu Xuan, a top-tier researcher in Extraordinary Item engineering, had said that current technology wasn’t advanced enough to cause a complete upheaval.
If that weren’t the case, the researchers wouldn’t just be shocked—they’d be terrified.
If it meant a complete upheaval, they would never dare help Lin Qi develop his theory. They would even try to dissuade him, telling him to just be content with his status as a “genius.”
Lin Qi didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he looked at the various S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers.
Meeting Lin Qi’s gaze, Xu Zhengming immediately stood up. “Young Lin Qi, please wait a moment. I need to contact my family’s patriarch. This matter may require us to file a preliminary report with the Eastern Alliance.”
Nan Jujun, Lin Qinghong, and the representative from the Li Family all had similar reactions.
They all quickly stated they needed to contact their family elders first.
The older generation of Pharmaceutical Researchers may have lost their “inspiration” Talent, but it was important to remember that all S-Class Pharmaceutical Researchers were also Extraordinary Professionals.
Combined with the wealth accumulated from their earlier careers as Pharmaceutical Researchers, they were without a doubt the richest group of Extraordinary Professionals.
As a major corporation, Nanyun Potion was full of hidden masters. The number of Tier Four Extraordinary Professionals in its ranks far exceeded public imagination.
In fact, after shedding the title of “Pharmaceutical Researcher,” many of them had gone on to join key departments within the Eastern Alliance.
One could say that for an S-Class Pharmaceutical Researcher, retirement was just the beginning of their ascent to the pinnacle of power and strength.
One email after another was sent from the Circular Experimental Field.
Lin Qi wasn’t in a rush. While he waited, he continued his conversation with Liu Xuan.
“Actually, besides the Phase Theory, I have another, even more unifying theory. The inspiration for your instrument design might just be hidden within it…”
He transmitted his voice physically, ensuring only Liu Xuan could hear him.
Liu Xuan listened and nodded, a strange light flickering intermittently in her right eye.
The problem that had stumped Lin Qi for twenty-eight hours seemed to be no great obstacle for Liu Xuan’s mind.
Perhaps something like “Spiritual Light” existed in fields outside of Pharmacy as well. Liu Xuan had only just heard the basics of Lin Qi’s “Spiritual Particles” theory, but an idea had already formed in her mind.
“This has some similarities to a machine I designed years ago. I might be able to borrow parts of its design.”
Just as inspiration struck Liu Xuan,
Lin Qi’s Spiritual Vision suddenly caught an anomaly in the light and shadows.
Not far in front of him, a familiar figure had quietly appeared.
Baili Xueyuan was here!
She wore a helpless expression, and her clothes were somewhat disheveled, looking as if she had thrown them on in a hurry…
