Simply put, enzymes are high-molecular-weight substances with lifeform catalytic functions. Almost all cellular activities require the participation of enzymes to improve efficiency.
Similar to other non-lifeform catalysts, enzymes accelerate reaction rates by reducing the activation energy of chemical reactions. Most enzymes can increase the rate of their catalyzed reactions by millions of times.
They can be used in various industries such as food, feed, detergents, textiles, papermaking, chemicals, and more, with a market value exceeding billions. Furthermore, their market is growing at an average rate of 11% per year.
Peptides are compounds formed by connecting α-amino acids with peptide bonds, and they are intermediate products of protein hydrolysis.
Compounds formed by the dehydration condensation of two amino acid molecules are called dipeptides, and the same concept applies to tripeptides, tetrapeptides, pentapeptides, and so on.
Generally, compounds formed by the dehydration condensation of three or more amino acid molecules can be called peptides. Currently, the application of peptides mainly focuses on peptide drugs, peptide drug carriers, tissue engineering materials, and peptide-based nutritional supplements.
For example, antiviral peptides, peptide-guided drugs, cytokine-mimicking peptides, antimicrobial peptides, peptide-based nutritional supplements, tissue engineering materials, and more, have a considerable market value. Although the field is not yet mature, it holds promising prospects.
Su Jing concluded, “We have researched various commonly used enzymes and peptides, improved their effectiveness and production efficiency, and reduced their costs. Additionally, we have cultivated several advanced and highly useful enzymes and peptides. In other words, we can fully become a supplier of enzymes and peptides in the near future.”
Wang Zhuo and Zheng Nan listened in astonishment. They were tempted to use internet slang to say, “Su Jing, how come you’re not soaring in the sky? In such a short time, you have developed something groundbreaking again.”
Although the market value of over 10 Billion may pale in comparison to Artificial Intelligence, Smartphones, Automobiles, and the 5G Network, this is still a significant achievement.
“Do you think we should establish a separate company for this?” Zheng Nan asked.
“Have someone conduct a market assessment and then we can decide. There are many things to take care of in the company. You two go and attend to them. Don’t just stay here. I still need to continue my research,” Su Jing said.
“Alright, take care of yourself, and don’t overwork. Take it easy,” Wang Zhuo said as he turned around to leave. He and Zheng Nan left with some information about enzymes and peptides.
Su Jing stayed behind to continue his research with the researchers because there was a particular aspect mentioned in the Chemist Handbook that he was very interested in.
The achievements in spices, enzymes, and peptides could be considered a significant business opportunity, but it was only an appetizer at most. Su Jing’s main goal lay elsewhere.
…
In the following days, Su Jing continued to sort out the garbage while studying the Chemist’s manual.
Although he didn’t find anything particularly valuable in the trash heap, Su Jing brought many metallic materials to the Tianci Material Research Institute and managed to research several highly valuable alloys. It was quite a rewarding outcome.
The study of the Chemist’s manual progressed smoothly, and Su Jing’s main concern had shown some progress.
Inside the laboratory, a group of researchers were engaged in a discussion.
“Boss, this time it should work without a doubt.”
“The enzymes, nutrients, and water content have all been prepared according to the specifications.”
“The color and viscosity described in the manual match as well.”
“However, is this solution really as effective as described in the manual?”
After several days of relentless effort, the concoction finally seemed to be a success. However, the functions described in the manual were too exaggerated, and they found it hard to believe.
“I’m not sure either. We’ll only know once we try it,” Su Jing said with a neutral expression on his face before he took a small bottle filled with the prepared blue Miraculous solution and dropped a few seeds into it.
“Boss, what kind of seeds are you using?” A middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask.
“Ariocarpus Fissuratus,” Su Jing replied.
“Why would you use Ariocarpus Fissuratus? It won’t be easy to observe the effects that way,” The middle-aged man exclaimed in surprise.
“What is Ariocarpus Fissuratus?” The others around them asked as they were not quite familiar with it.
“I usually grow and cultivate Succulent Plants as a hobby, so I have some knowledge about them. Ariocarpus Fissuratus belongs to the Cactaceae family and has a peculiar appearance. It looks like a stone sculpture and is often referred to as the ‘living stone.’ This plant has a very low germination rate, and its seedlings grow very slowly. Among the Ariocarpus genus, it is only surpassed in growth speed by the Agave variety. A wild Ariocarpus Fissuratu with a diameter of more than 10 centimeters takes at least several decades to grow,” The middle-aged man explained in a knowledgeable manner.
The people were stunned for a moment as they finally understood the situation. It took several decades for an Ariocarpus Fissuratus with a diameter of 10 centimeters to grow, indicating just how slow its growth rate was.
It seemed inappropriate to use Ariocarpus Fissuratus for the experiment since it would take too long to observe any effects.
“It is precisely because Ariocarpus Fissuratus grows slowly that we can better reflect the effectiveness of this Miraculous solution by observing its effects on it,” Su Jing explained.
Hearing Su Jing’s answer, the people present here couldn’t help but wonder if Su Jing had overly high hopes for this Miraculous solution.
“Of course, we can also try it with a few other types of seeds at the same time,” Su Jing said, taking two more bottles and filling them with the Miraculous solution. He then dropped two different kinds of seeds into each of them.
Next came the waiting time. Initially, everyone thought they would have to wait for several days to see any results. However, unexpectedly, less than five minutes passed, and the effects began to show.
The three types of seeds started germinating in succession. Then, two of them started visibly growing at a rapid pace. It was clear to see that one was a rice seedling and the other was tobacco.
“Oh my, how is this possible?”
“Am I seeing things?”
Everyone was shocked and they could hardly believe that they had created this Miraculous solution together.
A smile appeared on Su Jing’s face as his heart was filled with joy. However, he wasn’t as surprised because it was completely within his expectations.
This Miraculous solution was one of the fifteen basic Miraculous solutions in the “Legend of the Supreme Soldier” Universe, called the Galo Blue Miraculous Solution.
