<h4>Chapter 745: Finding Treasure</h4>


    As Lu Zhou looked at Xu Wenhao happily walking out of his office, he smiled and shook his head. He reminisced for a second about his younger days. He then picked up the analysis reports on his table.


    The analysis results were quite interesting.


    The first analysis was the liquid meal recement.


    Even though Lu Zhou had never done any biology research, he still knew a little bit about biology. Also, Xu Wenhao’s report abstract was written in rtively simplenguage, so he could still understand it.


    ording to theposition analysis, the liquid meal recement food contained almost all nutrients required by the human body. It also contained a special active substance, which improved the activity and absorption of the human intestine. This increased the absorption of nutrients and reduced the excretion quantity.


    Basically, if someone ate this for three meals a day, they would only have to sh*t once every three days, but they would urinate more often.


    This thing could definitely be applied in spacecraft, where excretion was troublesome.


    Also, in addition to being used in aerospace food, the active substance could be made into a health supplement.


    As for the toxicology test of this active substance, the clinical experiments proved there were no obvious signs of toxicity. Xu Wenhao didn’t do any experiments on humans, but Lu Zhou guessed it was probably fine.


    After all, the future process of clinical and pharmacological tests was bound to be more and more sophisticated.


    There was no reason for Lu Zhou to worry about “food safety”.


    After Lu Zhou finished reading the liquid food report, he began to read the report on the Future branded coke.


    This report was slightly longer, and it was around a dozen pages long.


    Other than the ingredient testing, Xu Wenhao also conducted clinical trials on mice for some of the most interesting substances.


    It was worth mentioning that, like Lu Zhou’s prediction, the coke had athletic enhancing abilities.


    However, there was one part he was wrong. There wasn’t arge amount of taurine; rather, a special amino acid substance was added.


    This amino acid had stable chemical properties. It was insoluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol, and belonged to a special non-protein amino acid group. After being ingested into the human body, it did not participate in biological protein synthesis.


    This amino acid had a special R group, which was more likely to bind to insulin receptors. This promoted cell glucose uptake and elerated glycolysis.


    Also, the amino acid could also elerate the secretion speed of various human body nds. It improved the human body’s metabolism level and stimted nerve cells for a certain period of time.


    More importantly, there was no toxic side effect!


    But, Lu Zhou obviously knew that...


    Because he had drunk this coke many times.


    “This is basically NZT-48... The kind with no side effects.”


    Lu Zhou put down the report.


    He was only curious about one thing. Which was whether or not the energy medicine contained simr ingredients.


    Unfortunately, he drank all of the energy medicine when he was working hard. He had to wait until next time to test the ingredients.


    After reading theponent analysis reports, Lu Zhou contemted for a bit. He opened hisputer and opened a new Word document. He began to type up two patent document drafts.


    Even though he didn’t n on selling coke, the interesting substances in the two liquids had interesting applications.


    Regardless of whether or not it woulde in handy, Lu Zhou decided to register a patent first.


    The two patent drafts didn’t take him too much time. He didn’t have to write in detail. Star Sky Technology had a professional patent management department that could do the misceneous work for him.


    Considering the fact that Star Sky Technology was in the patent licensing field, the examination and approval procedures weren’t much of an issue. It wouldn’t take long for the patent to be approved.


    Lu Zhou leaned in his office chair and stretched his back. He ced the two reports aside and saw a notification on hisptop screen.


    [Master, you have mail!]


    “Okay.”


    Lu Zhou sat up straight and clicked the notification, which opened his email.


    The email was from Yang Xu.


    Lu Zhou could tell that the material analysis of the piece of clothing waspleted.


    He downloaded the PDF report from Yang Xu’s email and began reading it. He started to get intrigued.


    He nced through the abstract and saw the transmission electron microscope image. He was in disbelief.


    “... This is incredible.”


    Nano-thin wires were tangled intricately as they weaved into a solid mesh structure.


    The wire was made of hexagon-filled carbon nanotubes!


    No wonder this material is so tough and has good thermal conductivity properties. It is wrapped in carbon nanotubes!


    Other tests such aspression and tensile resistance tests were also in the report.


    Without using an actual gun for testing, just by looking at the data alone, Lu Zhou estimated that assault rifles would have difficulty prating through 2.2mm of this carbon nanofiber material.


    If there were anotheryer of ceramic chip added to the clothing to disperse the impact force of the bullet, this piece of clothing would be imprable.


    Lu Zhou couldn’t help but mutter, “I can’t believe this kind of material is made into a sweater, what a waste.”


    The SG-1 superconducting material used in the Pangu reactor was a simr kind of carbon nanotube. However, that material was so expensive that it was only used in controble fusion reactors or atomic colliders.


    But now, there was someone using carbon nanotube fiber thinner than SG-1, to make clothes. Lu Zhou couldn’t even imagine how expensive that would cost.


    This thing could be applied in marine and industrial fields as high mechanical property cables. It could be made into bulletproof clothing or even tank armor. It could even be used in fighter jets and other aerospace applications. Lu Zhou had countless application ideas...


    However, maybe in the future, this kind of material would be cheaper, and that’s why they made it into clothes?


    It’s just like how aluminum was as expensive as gold a century ago, but now it’s used in soda cans.


    However, for now, Lu Zhou couldn’t imagine using this kind of material to make clothes.


    In short, this thing was an absolute gem of a treasure.


    I guess I underestimated this sweater!


    Lu Zhou immediately had an idea, and he stood up from his chair.


    The Lunar Gateway moon space station program is about to begin.


    What if I use this material on the lunar space station!
