After returning to the castle, Roland was still a little sighed. As the saying goes, weeping with joy, but from the hero's cries, what he felt was not all joy, as if he had suppressed too many grievances, pains and blames in the past, and finally got a vent.
In other words, the strength she showed was not to see pain as nothing, but to suppress all those negative emotions in her heart. However, this is also a normal reaction of a person. Before the drastic changes, the hero was just a girl who had just grown up. He was not destroyed by these tortures and still had hope. It was extremely rare to be able to do this.
The results of the treatment can be described as very successful, and her restored feet are basically the same as ordinary people. Although it is difficult to bend your toes because you haven't walked for a long time, since you can feel this part of your body, it means that the nerves have been connected to the spine. The ability to move freely.
This treatment also allowed Roland to further determine the ability of Broken Sword, which is to improve the "critical point" of witches.
Every witch's ability has its limits. For example, there are limits to the size, duration and degree of weight loss of hummingbirds. Even if one condition is exceeded, the required magic power will increase rapidly, just like a beating index. Going beyond too much results is unattainable. For example, she can't make a mountain as light as a feather, and she can't make the weight loss effect last forever, perhaps because the magic power required to do so is probably an astronomical amount.
The same is true for Nana. Rebirth from a severed limb is likely far beyond the critical point of its ability, so it is possible to restore the blown finger, but there is no way to restore the limbs, even with the help of leaves.
Broken Sword is equivalent to expanding this limit, making what was impossible to do before become something that is barely achievable; and the original way of using a huge amount of mana has become an ability that can be used multiple times.
He pulled out a stack of reports from the drawer, and spread it out on the table. It was Wendy's test record when Broken Sword merged with the other witches.
It can be seen that the abilities of most witches have been significantly strengthened, and the exponential growth is amazing, but the benefits are also not bad if they are reversed. For example, the Dawn No. 1 enchanted by the Mysterious Moon has extended its duration from five days to half a month. Before Neverwinter City has no large-scale power generation capacity, this improvement is invaluable. After all, more and more factories are built, and electricity consumption for lighting has gradually become the bottleneck of production.
There is also the solidification of the candle flame, which can be maintained for a longer time under the increase of the broken sword, which is very beneficial to the service life of the machine tool and the processing level. Without her ability, it is not surprising that a dozen boring knives or two or three machines would be scrapped a day when so many newbies were shoved into the factory.
In addition, Soraya, Agatha, Lucia, Bai Zhi and other witches who are active in the production line are the beneficiaries of Broken Sword. The industrial level of Neverwinter City has risen too fast, and many supporting systems and manpower are not in place. It is completely dependent on witches to prevent it from collapsing. Otherwise, according to such a crude and crude production method, it is estimated that there will be a shutdown every two days, and an explosion every three days. what news. Now with Broken Sword, this part is more solid.
Roland wrote his inference at the end of the report. It is foreseeable that Broken Sword will become one of the busiest witches in Neverwinter in the future.
In the afternoon, the personal guard Sean walked into his office.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Chemical Industry, Mr. Kaimo, wants you to go to the No. 1 laboratory. He said that what you explained has already got a clue."
"Oh?" Roland's eyes lit up, "You arrange the next trip, and I'll leave right away."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Accompanied by a team of guards, Roland came to Laboratory No. 4.
With the establishment of an acid plant and a nitrification plant, the humble bungalow that was originally a small workshop and was produced in a test area has become a real research site in Neverwinter. These buildings next to the Chishui River are not only separated by walls, but also equipped with guards and logistics. Even the houses have been redecorated, and the exterior walls are painted beige white, which looks much more solemn.
Kaimer Strell did not greet him at the gate of the courtyard, only the Deputy Minister Chamis stood alone in front of the gate with a slightly embarrassed expression. Roland had long known the temperament of the chief alchemist, waved his hand, and walked straight into the house.
I saw that Kaimo was attentively standing in front of the long table, staring at the liquid in the condenser tube dripping into the glass little by little. . Around it, there are several other cups, and the liquid inside seems to be different from shallow to deep.
Roland couldn't help taking a deep breath.
He hadn't smelled gasoline for a long time.
Of course, it is not appropriate to call this crude product gasoline, which is far from the automobile fuel used on a large scale in later generations, except that it has the same taste. It is not possible to use it as a stable energy source for a while.
"Your Majesty," only then did the chief alchemist notice him and salute him, "You are right, the black water in the extreme south is indeed composed of various liquids. I followed the method in "Moderate Chemistry" After doing a few experiments, I found that distillation can be used to separate them one by one. But..." He pointed to the glass on the table, "If they are further separated, their components seem to be almost the same."
"It's almost the same," Roland said indifferently. These things are all hydrocarbons. If Lucia were to decompose them, they would all look the same in the end. "Any other discoveries?"
"They can all burn, and the more the liquid is fractionated from the upper layer, the more violent it is, such as this" he held up the amber glass and shook it, "it almost explodes when ignited! Your Majesty, are you going to use Does it make more powerful explosives?"
Looking at the enthusiastic old alchemist, Roland couldn't help chuckling in his heart. As soon as he saw that it could burn, he thought of explosives. He already possessed the necessary qualities to become a real chemist.
In fact, these black waters are samples taken from Endless Cape.
From the very beginning, he suspected that the unquenchable fires were the so-called oil caused by the erupting oil wells. In fact, they were a huge family. As the blood of modern industry and the strategic materials that determined the direction of the world war, he naturally agreed It has been understood. In fact, the difference between the oil collected from the eastern continent and the oil collected from the western continent is far greater than the skin color, and it is okay to say that it is a completely different liquid. Their colors range from golden yellow and dark green to pitch black, maroon, and even transparent. Some can flow like water, some are extremely viscous; some cannot be ignited directly, while others can easily burn...
In terms of composition, as long as the hydrocarbons are composed of hydrogen and carbon, they can be put into the box of petroleum when mixed together.
Therefore, it is not uncommon for black water to be classified as oil.
In other words, it does not matter if it is not the same as any kind of oil in the previous life, as long as the flammable oil can be separated. After all, even in the pre-travel world, people haven't completely figured out the source of oil and all its types. When he was a child, he heard the saying that 50 years would be exhausted, but it was only later that he discovered that the reserves of new oil fields discovered every year grew much faster than the reserves used, and all the reserves combined have far exceeded biotransformation. The weight of the hypothesis.
