Upon returning to the 40k era, Alex immediately summoned the Rejuvenation Warlock assigned to him and consulted him in depth regarding the Rejuvenation Potion.
Although the Rejuvenation Warlock assigned to Alex was only an ordinary Rejuvenation Warlock, the Rejuvenation Potion he possessed was a high-grade product specially issued to Alex by the Inquisition.
These high-grade Rejuvenation Potions are strictly controlled strategic resources within the Imperial system, and their acquisition channels are subject to tight authorization controls.
Even Planetary Governors, who rule entire planets, would find it difficult to obtain a single dose in their lifetime without special merits or prominent backgrounds. After all, if such a thing were to be purchased with money, even a Planetary Governor would struggle to afford such an astonishing sum.
Only Rogue Traders who control Merchant Dynasties are capable of spending vast sums to purchase this level of Rejuvenation Potion to extend their lives.
Of course, the status and authority of Rogue Traders are also sufficient to support their purchase of this level of Rejuvenation Potion.
Some particularly meritorious Rogue Traders even have Rejuvenation Warlocks specially assigned to them by the Imperium, with all expenses covered by the Imperium. All of this is merely to reward their contributions to the Imperium.
Good Rejuvenation Potions naturally have better effects, fewer side effects, longer life extension, and require fewer Rejuvenation Surgeries.
After all, it is well known that the more Rejuvenation Surgeries performed, the worse the effect will be, eventually rendering the Rejuvenation Potion ineffective.
At that point, only highly effective serums, or those extracted from certain alien bodies that have become extinct in the 40k era, can work on bodies that can no longer be extended by conventional means.
However, generally speaking, people who can last this long, even if they have always used ordinary, low-quality Rejuvenation Potions, have usually lived for at least four or five hundred years.
As an Inquisitor, Alex enjoys a special potion quota, theoretically sufficient to support him for over seven hundred years.
However, each of these potions, strictly controlled by the Star Sector Tribunal, is registered. They not only require a special declaration and receive by the Rejuvenation Warlock but also demand biometric verification upon use to ensure they are exclusively for Alex himself.
This control is both to prevent resource abuse and because of its astonishing value.
After all, the preciousness of high-grade Rejuvenation Potions is self-evident. If sold on the black market, a single dose could even buy an entire continent of a prosperous Hive World or an entire palace at the top of a Hive City spire.
Therefore, it was almost impossible for Alex to obtain Rejuvenation Potions from this Rejuvenation Warlock. However, as a Rejuvenation Warlock assigned to an Inquisitor, he was highly skilled in Rejuvenation Surgery and medicine.
In addition to potion injections, he was proficient in a full range of organ regeneration techniques, stem cell activation therapies, and epigenetic modification technologies.
Through in-depth discussions, Alex successfully obtained a complete Rejuvenation Surgery operation manual. Besides potion preparation, it also included cutting-edge therapies such as telomerase activation, mitochondrial function repair, and epigenetic resetting.
The value of this technical data cannot be underestimated.
Even without the Rejuvenation Potion, these auxiliary techniques alone could significantly improve human body function and achieve a certain degree of rejuvenation.
This Rejuvenation Warlock could only do so much; he did not possess the relevant formulas for the Rejuvenation Potion.
The official production methods for standard Rejuvenation Serum are only mastered by the Imperial authorities and the Adeptus Mechanicus. Better formulas are proprietary to each faction and will never be disclosed to the public, nor will they easily leak out.
Therefore, if Alex wanted to obtain Rejuvenation Serum, he could only find another way.
And coincidentally, there were several Biological Sages of the Adeptus Mechanicus he could access at the moment.
However, Alex did not visit the Sages in Griya, but instead summoned Ovilia, who served him, and asked her if she could prepare Rejuvenation Potion.
"Rejuvenation Potion? You're so young, do you need that stuff?" Ovilia looked at Alex with some surprise. Although she didn't know why Alex was interested in this, she still told him what she could do: "I can make this, whether it's through the Imperial standard biochemical synthesis method or the more bloody method of extracting active substances from living bodies. The Imperial standard Rejuvenation Potion production is not complicated.
Of course, the effect of this standard potion is only average.
Generally speaking, the first surgery has the best effect, usually extending life by about 50-70 years, and thereafter the effect of the surgery will decline.
Depending on the individual's physical condition, it will generally become completely ineffective after extending life for about three or four hundred years.
If a more effective Rejuvenation Potion can be obtained, life can be extended further, but if not, one can basically just wait to die."
"Do you have a more effective formula?" Alex planned to take the Rejuvenation Potion back to the 3k era for his family, so he naturally hoped to get a better one.
Although a life extension of 50-70 years was already astonishing for the 3k era, if there was something better, Alex still hoped to provide his family with the best.
Regarding Alex's question, Ovilia pouted and said, "Do you think high-grade Rejuvenation Potion is a Golo Beast? This isn't something just anyone can master the formula for. High-grade formulas are either tightly held by some people, or they require special raw materials that ordinary people simply cannot obtain."
"Do you have any?" Alex ignored Ovilia's remarks and simply pressed her.
"Yes, but the effect is average. The first surgery can probably extend your life by about 90 years, which is incomparable to the best batch circulating within the Imperium. You should be able to get better stuff from the Inquisition." Ovilia was clearly reluctant to admit that she was inferior, but Alex's persistence made her tell the truth.
Hearing Ovilia say this, Alex nodded knowingly, then asked her, "If I can provide you with a batch of biological samples, or even human genetic samples from ancient Terra, would that help your research?"
"Biological samples depend on what kind they are; even many ordinary organisms are useless." At this point, Ovilia suddenly showed a very strange expression, then complained, "As for the ancient Terra human genetic samples you mentioned, although I don't know how this stuff was preserved, unless you have human genetic samples from the Dark Age of Technology, otherwise this stuff is useless. The Adeptus Mechanicus has much better cloned genetic samples than this. Ancient Terra human genetic samples are meaningless except for studying the physiological characteristics of primitive humans."
"Alright, I will look for special biological samples for you, but before that, please prepare a batch of Rejuvenation Potions for me. I want the best four doses you have, and the rest can be made to a slightly reduced standard effect." Alex stated his request.
