The pressed oil-water mixture is boiled and separated twice to remove impurities and then proceed to the next step of fractionation and crystallization. There are several ways to fractionate and crystallize palm oil. Among them, dry extraction is to purify palm oil by controlling the temperature without adding any chemical reagents.
Fortunately, the ability of the white pillow is precisely related to controlling the temperature.
The essence of Hati's freezing ability is to absorb heat, and when properly controlled, it can accurately grasp the temperature change. One of the main reasons why the white pillow rarely used the freezing ability was that it had left a psychological shadow in the elevator, and the other was that he could not control it well.
White Pillow's ability to control the spiritual body is perfect, even compared to some experienced old sentinels, and only the use of this special skill has never been able to be handy.
The tower has always been very interested in the ability of the white pillow, because this is the first case of the most intuitive energy exchange between dimensions on record. The appearance of sentries and guides has shaken the scientific system that has been developed for many years, because many times the appearance of their abilities violates various laws.
The collapse of the scientific system almost means the collapse of the civilization system. Scientists eager to find an exit finally accepted the theory of high-dimensional interference.
According to the second law of thermodynamics, energy does not spontaneously lead from low-temperature objects to high-temperature objects, that is to say, the release of the Freezing Skill from the White Pillow will definitely consume energy, and the energy mentioned here is what is called mental power.
In fact, although mental power is a conventional name that has continued to this day in the whistle-blower circle, researchers prefer to call it high-dimensional interference power or space-distorting dimension. Because there is no conclusion yet, so there are various names.
Due to the various abilities of sentries and guides, many of which are mysterious and mysterious, it is difficult to study as a benchmark, and the appearance of the white pillow undoubtedly opens a door for researchers to explore. Being able to use energy loss or entropy to convert mental power has a huge impetus to the basic research on the nature of whistle.
Of course, for today's White Pillow, none of this matters. Today, her ability finally has a real use.
After combining with Hua Mu, Bai Zhen clearly felt the improvement of her ability, and gradually began to understand the reason why she couldn't control this ability - she didn't know the essence of freezing ability.
To make a rough analogy, in the past, white pillows could use oil presses, but they did not understand the principle of oil pressing. They only knew that if the hitting wood was hit against the wedge, oil and water would appear in the barrel. As for what angle and strength to use, she did not understand. Although Hati obeyed her, she did not show herself.
Today's white pillow can not only use the oil press, understand the principle of the oil press, but also transform it according to the actual situation, making it more convenient and labor-saving to use. Although she still can't express its essence well - after all, she has little knowledge of research as she is committed to the Sentinel course, but she can already control it.
Once Hati released a skill, it would cause a freezing effect almost every time, which is also the source of the skill name. Now, she can completely reduce the object by only a few degrees and control the rate of cooling.
Even the white pillow has faintly felt that it is very likely that he can release heat. Although to a certain extent, the name "Ice Wolf" is not worthy of its name, but no one would care about it.
The dry fractionation of palm oil is actually the repeated heating and cooling filtration of the oil to separate the stearin and soft fat. The melting point of palm stearin is higher than about 33°C, and it is generally solid at room temperature, while the melting point of soft fat is about 24°C, and it is liquid at room temperature. Only the latter is suitable for edible oil.
This process requires trial and error, and users of Sentinel skills are very demanding. Not to mention the fine control of the temperature, but to say that the slow release for a long time is enough to make any Sentinel burnt out.
If it was in the past, White Pillow would not have the slightest confidence to complete this task. But now, she doesn't even need to rest - except to do a "serious job" at Hua Mu's strong request.
After another two days, the palm oil was finally released. After removing all kinds of moisture, impurities, stearate and wastage from the ten kilograms of oil cake, we finally got less than two hundred grams of edible oil, which took a whole week.
Looking at the little bit of oil in the glass bottle, Hua Mu didn't know if she wanted to cry or laugh. It was too difficult. Just for this small bottle, the two of them spent a lot of manpower and material resources. If it weren't for the strong white pillow, it might have taken more time.
At this time, she really missed the civilized society deeply.
Seeing her complicated expression, Bai Zhen said comfortingly, "Miss, although there is not much oil, there are a lot of by-products. The wooden house can also start to deal with it, and the result is still good. After I become proficient, I can increase the output and shorten the time. , look for other raw materials, and soon you won't have to worry about cooking oil."
Hua Mu also knew that the result was not bad, but she felt sorry for the white pillow. What she could help was a drop in the bucket for the Sentinels, and she was responsible for all the hardships and hardships.
"It's good," but after being busy for so long, it's really not right to say anything discouraged at this time, Hua Mu cheered up and said with a smile, "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I can just use these oils to make something delicious. Yes. By the way, the wine is almost gone, I need to go inside to get some more."
Before putting it, Hua Mu also took it by himself. But after that incident, she is really a little afraid to enter the cave now.
"I'll just go get it, and just put the things I got this time."
At present, the food is basically stacked in the cave. Because of the increase in ability, White Pillow has enough room to set up an ice cellar. She puts several buckets of water into the cave every day, and the cave has become a semi-natural freezer.
Although the white pillow is very strong, Hua Mu is still worried.
"I'd better go with you."
Luna is not very useful, but at least you can see that ugly little thing.
The white pillow thought for a while and agreed.
The two have already cleaned the cave, not only adding new racks, but also adding appliances for placing lighting items on the mountain wall. The ring on which the torches are inserted, the platform on which the candles are placed, and the small lamp that can light the oil lamp, are well thought out.
The by-products extracted this time have grease that can be used as fuel, which can be used for lighting.
There are two racks in total, about two meters long and wide, fifty centimeters thick, and divided into four layers. One for storing food and one for storing items. And like the previously discovered materials and candles, the white pillow has been moved into the hut.
The racks stand on both sides, one on the left and one on the right, and further in there is a road that shrinks like a bottleneck. The narrowest point is less than one meter high and half a meter wide. After this narrow mouth, inside is the wine cellar.
The temperature of the wine cellar is very low, only about ten degrees. Probably because of her previous experience, Hua Mu was very nervous this time, holding Bai Zhen's hand tightly all the way, and even shivered when she entered the wine cellar.
"Meow~"
To be on the safe side, not only did she summon Luna, but she also called out the sleeping reserves in a particularly unkind manner, which was considered to be well-prepared.
Seeing that she was afraid, the white pillow simply hugged her in his arms.
"It's okay, I don't feel any problem for the time being. Your previous experience here is not necessarily related to that thing."
With the white pillow, Hua Mu is of course a lot more at ease.
"Mmmm... Let's hurry up and grab the bar, this time a little more."
The wine in the cellar has been cleaned once before, and the rest are in the container intact. The large and small wine bottles are roughly several hundred kilograms, and even some of them are damaged, which is more than enough for two people who don't drink much.
Hua Mu guessed that the people who lived on the island were alcoholics and smokers. Otherwise, how could they produce so much alcohol and make tobacco? You must know that brewing is a waste of food, and she has no plans at all at present.
"It should be fine for cooking," Bai Zhen directly picked up a wine jar of about ten kilograms, "Do you have any wine you want to drink? You don't seem to like the mead last time."
Hua Mu also drank a cup that day, and he didn't touch it after that, so he drank it all for the white pillow. The slightly drunk Sentinel has more amazing charm, wilder and more interesting, and she likes it.
"I don't like to drink. It just looks good. Hmm... But let's get a bottle. I think you like it."
White pillow used to seldom touch alcoholic beverages because of tasks, but this does not mean that she is not good at drinking. On the contrary, she has a fairly good tolerance for alcohol.
"Okay, then you pick a bottle." What's more, Hua Mu is pouring wine for her now, as long as it is prepared by the eldest lady, she can eat anything.
Hua Mu completely lost her sense of tension because of the image of a drunken sentinel in her mind. While bending over to pick wine carefully, she thought that she could make "snacks" in the evening.
"This bottle of blue looks like a good drink, I need this..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Just when Hua Mu mentioned a glass bottle of about 500 ml, the reserve grain that had been in her arms suddenly roared. At the same time, Hati, who had been hiding in the dark, suddenly jumped out, blocking the In front of Hua Mu.
Hua Mu was startled, and the wine bottle in his hand almost fell to the ground. She finally grabbed it in a hurry, and the reserves had jumped out of her arms and stood at Hati's feet—as if she knew there was such a giant wolf beside her.
"Hoohoo!" Hati made a threatening sound, only Luna still didn't feel any sense of crisis, and walked calmly in the direction of the confrontation between the two beasts.
Hua Mu reflexively adjusted Luna's perspective, and as expected, she saw the spirit body at the junction of the firelight and the darkness.
"It's it!"
Bai Zhen had already protected Hua Mu behind her, and she couldn't help frowning when she heard her voice.
"Is that the spirit body last time?"
"Well... it should be."
"should?"
When Hua Mu saw it, he immediately recognized it as the creature from last time, but then he was a little unsure because the spiritual body was obviously smaller than the last time.
"Yeah, it's getting smaller." Hua Mu gestured with her hand, "It used to be as big as a sea bird, but now it's a little bigger than the reserve grain, which looks pitiful."
Not only the size, but the state of the spirit body doesn't look very good, and it looks like it's dying.
The author has something to say: Well, for appetizers, yes.
