On the second day, Du Dian came to the hidden alchemy room again. When he came, the poisonous snake and the "rat" he had tracked before were also there. The boy code-named mouse should have heard the poisonous snake talk about Du Dian. When he saw Du Dian, he asked nervously: "Hound, right? You, you followed me, so you... have you seen me?"
Du Dian thought that there was no way to deceive, nodded and said: "Yes, I will keep it a secret."
The mouse was full of frustration, and said: "It's exposed again."
The poisonous snake said angrily: "Who told you to engrave the tattoo on your wrist? I think you will be purified by the light sooner or later. Don't betray us by then."
"I won't betray you." The mouse said with a sad face: "My family is engaged to me, and I want to quit alchemy now. Anyway, with my level, it is difficult to achieve anything. At most, I can get a meteor badge."
The poisonous snake shrugged and said, "If you want to quit, remember to take off the tattoo."
"I was hesitant because I was afraid of pain," the mouse said helplessly.
Du Dian was a little speechless, looked at Nightingale's alchemy room, and asked, "Isn't she coming today?"
"I haven't come at this time, I guess I won't come." The poisonous snake said casually.
Du Dian said: "Can I borrow her alchemy symbol book?"
"This is optional, but it's best not to touch her other alchemy materials."
Du Dian nodded, and when they were busy with the experiment, he picked up Nightingale's alchemy symbol book and continued to memorize it silently. Although he has a super chip, the modern chemical system stored in it is much more advanced and perfect than the alchemy system of this era, but ancient does not mean backward, there are still many advantages worth learning in this alchemy system, after all, this is chemistry The ancestor of the embryonic form.
Du Dian first revisited what he memorized yesterday, and then continued to silently back the alchemy symbols behind.
Another day passed.
Du Dian carried about two-thirds of his back, and at dusk, he left the alchemy room one after another with the poisonous snake and the mouse. This time, the poisonous snake was the first to leave, and the mouse was the last to cut off its tail. Newcomers are worried about doing them.
After Du Dian came outside, he saw the poisonous snake hiding next to him again and wanted to spy on him. He ignored it, walked around a few times in the direction of yesterday, and returned home.
On the third day, Du Dian continued to come to the alchemy room, and Nightingale was there today. He borrowed alchemy books and continued to memorize them silently. Before leaving at night, he finally memorized the whole book, and he was able to understand the experiments of Nightingale and others.
Just from the symbols carved on the alchemy table, Du Dian could roughly guess what experiment they were going to do. When returning the book, he quickly glanced at Nightingale's alchemy table, and immediately saw a sun symbol, two water drop symbols, and a spoon symbol , I couldn't help being surprised, this Nightingale's ambitions are quite big, she even directly researched gold, did she want to directly create the Philosopher's Stone
fourth day.
Du Dian came to the alchemy den as usual. The poisonous snake was not here today, and Nightingale and the mouse were busy with their own business. Occasionally, the mouse would come out to ask Nightingale some questions. Here, her alchemy level seemed to be the highest.
"Don't read it today?" Nightingale asked strangely when she saw that Du Dian didn't borrow a book from her.
Du Dian shook his head and said, "Don't look at it."
"No need?" Nightingale was stunned, "What do you mean, you've already memorized it?"
"Well." Du Dian nodded slightly, and said, "I want to start learning to do experiments."
Nightingale understood, and said with a smile: "It seems that you have memorized a lot before. Let me tell you, how can you do experiments without memorizing alchemy symbols? If you want to do experiments, you have to buy the materials yourself. Today I I can lend you some first, provided I have extra, but you have to return it to me tomorrow."
"Thank you!" Du Dian thanked in his heart, looked up and scanned the raw materials on her shelf, and immediately saw a few raw materials for making black powder. These raw materials are also commonly used materials in other alchemy experiments. It was first invented in the motherland of China, and it has had a huge impact on the whole world. It originated from alchemy, which is actually equivalent to the alchemy of the East, which is earlier and more advanced than that of the West.
"I want this yellow phosphorus." Du Dian pointed to one of the bottles. Naturally, he didn't plan to make black powder here. Although it is not a technology in modern times, it is a very old technology, but it is definitely explosive in this era. Alchemy, and it can really "explode"...
Nightingale glanced at it, nodded and said, "Okay, I just happen to have more of these."
Du Dian asked for some raw materials such as gum and red scales, and then cleaned out the small warehouse. Then he suddenly found a problem... There is no alchemy table!
He was a little dumbfounded, this is not making black powder, there is already a complete recipe, just need to mix the ingredients together. What he wants to study is matches, but he hasn't mastered the specific production. Last time when he watched the black powder formula in the chip information, he saw some materials with similar characteristics, such as the use of yellow phosphorus, red scale and other materials, so he wanted to use this Do your own research.
Matches are not considered a technology, but in this era, they can greatly optimize the ignition tools, just like the gap between electric lamps and candles. The reason for researching this is firstly that he has not grasped the electrical energy in his hand, and cannot read other high-tech modern products in the chip, and secondly, the industrial level of this world is still too backward, and it is useless to have ideas without tools.
The second reason is that when the black powder was detonated last time, he felt that it was a problem to ignite the fire. The fire scythe was too difficult to handle, and he needed to hit it repeatedly with fire steel to ignite the tinder, which was too deadly at the critical moment of the battle.
Du Dian found Nightingale again, and asked curiously, "Where did you get your alchemy table?" No one dared to sell this thing in the market.
Nightingale was preparing the raw materials. When she saw Du Dian looking for her, she was taken aback for a moment, and then realized: "I forgot to tell you this, how about it, you go to find the mouse and see if he is free at night. If he is free, I will take you Go to the underground market to buy one, but the price is a bit expensive, you'd better prepare some money, at least two silver coins or more."
"Underground market?" Du Dian was slightly stunned, and suddenly thought that this place seemed to be mentioned in Roseyard's notes. It was a market for underground transactions of the Dark Holy See, with strongholds in various places.
Immediately, Du Dian found the mouse and said the matter again.
The mouse didn't think much, and agreed to take him there at night.
Du Dian had nothing to do for a while, so he greeted Nightingale and left the alchemy den, thinking that after three days, Barton and the others didn't know how things were going, so he immediately hired a carriage and went to the slums.
Arriving at a dilapidated square that had been agreed upon in advance, Du Dian quickly found the code left by Barton and the others. With a smile on his face, he followed the code and found a small remote shack, which is close to the slums. refugee gathering places.
As soon as Du Dian came to the shack, he heard Barton's surprised voice in a shack opposite the shack.
Du Dian looked around in astonishment, but saw that the low shack was opened, and Barton and others came over. They hadn't seen each other for three days, and they were a little more energetic than before.
"We were afraid that the secret code would be exposed, so we rented another one on the opposite side." Barton looked at Du Dian's expression and immediately explained.
Du Dian froze for a moment, and said with a smile, "You guys are very thoughtful." Although he knew that the possibility of the secret code being exposed was extremely low, Du Dian was still very happy to see their caution.
