This Overlord Doesn’t Care About Anything

Chapter 200: 4. Scientific refining method

Views:

I waited for a while, Heyue adjusted her mood much faster than I expected, and soon recovered a smile on her face, and said to me:

"This kind of model existed before, but everyone just took it for granted. I didn't expect to hear some professional theories one day. Yuxi City should follow this model in the future, but... not yet."

I changed to a more comfortable sitting position and said:

"Tell me about the difficulty."

He Yue replied sharply:

"Two points. First, there is no more profitable industry to develop in Yuxi City. Now there are no mineral veins around the five cities in our hands, and the soil is worse than those fertile lands. Second, in the long run Look, the industrial transfer you mentioned requires continuous industrial replacement as the core driving force, that is, we can always find more profitable industries, and then spread the original factories to the surrounding cities. But at present, we do not have such capabilities .”

He Yue patiently explained to me:

"To achieve this virtuous circle, education plays a very important role in it. We need a large number of creative young people to do this, and the education in Yuxi City is a mess now. In my plan, Yu It will take about five years for Xicheng to establish a sound education system. Because the first thing to do is to get rid of poverty. Only when a family has spare money, will not suffer from hunger, and does not need so much labor, they will consider sending their children to Studying. Now the people of Yuxi City can only be considered food and clothing, even if we give them educational resources, they will not consider it."

I didn't speak after listening, just nodded.

Compared with me, Heyue's biggest disadvantage is that she doesn't have any previous life, and she doesn't know much about it at all. Different from the era of the information explosion in our time, a large amount of knowledge that has been summarized can be obtained with just a few clicks on the computer. Just imagine that if you want to summarize some rules, you have to pile up countless books and read them together, which is frighteningly inefficient.

But He Yue has her clever side. As long as I tell her a little bit about internal affairs, she can see it very clearly. And her biggest advantage is that she is down-to-earth, and she must consider every step carefully.

I lightly tapped the table with my fingers, thought for a while, and said:

"When I was in Lingyun City before, someone told me something that I didn't understand. Later, I followed what he said and drew some sketches. I gave it to you and asked you to help out. Now In the north of the city, it is a small factory building."

He Yue nodded, smiled and said:

"There is such a thing. There is a lot of expenses there, mainly some parts, which are unheard of by the craftsmen of Yuxi City. Especially the [bearing], no one would make it at the beginning, and a lot of raw materials were wasted in the process of groping. But In the end, it was done, but I don’t know if it has met your standards.”

"I've seen it. Although it's not particularly durable, it's enough for the current stage. I also ran to the factory a few times during this period, which can be regarded as a verification of some guesses I heard before. Come, come with me and have a look."

I stood up and took Heyue to the northern industrial base.

Although the name is quite domineering, it is actually just a small factory not much bigger than a workshop. It even looks very shabby, and thieves will not come in to patronize.

However, although the sparrow is small and well-equipped, it still has everything that should be inside.

And what I plan to show Heyue today is just the tip of the iceberg of this little sparrow...

Taking He Yue into the house, I lit a candle, put a sealed medicine bottle in front of him, and said:

"He Yue, do you know how to refine medicine?"

"The elixir that rich kids take when they practice martial arts? Yes, I know. Alchemy and alchemy have knowledge related to this field. In human history, the status of alchemists and alchemists is not much different. At that time, the king believed in which one more. Both claimed that they could refine the medicine of immortality, but they both failed. Isn’t the Lord Zhaochen in the north still seeking longevity every day? I think they are all illusory things... But Both alchemists and alchemists can refine medicinal properties and create some auxiliary medicines that are beneficial to the improvement of cultivation, this is recognized. It's just that the price of those medicinal materials is relatively high, and ordinary people can't enjoy them."

I asked:

"Then have you ever wondered why the medicine they refine can be sold at sky-high prices?"

He Yue said:

"Although I'm not very proficient in this, I have some understanding. There are two purposes of refining medicine, one is to refine the properties of medicine, and the other is to remove toxins. For example, there is actually a kind of [blue flower leaf] outside our Yuxi City. Wild vegetables have certain medicinal properties. But it depends on eating them to improve your strength, let alone eat a thousand catties to be effective. But no one will eat that much... Alchemists can collect a large number of these plants with low medicinal properties, and finally refine a A pill. This pill can be said to be the essence of thousands of catties of blue flower leaves, eating a small pill is equivalent to absorbing the medicinal properties of thousands of catties of blue flower leaves."

"In addition, those natural treasures that are inherently strong in medicinal properties, although they can improve their strength if taken directly, they will also suffer backlash. Whether it is alchemy or alchemy, it is actually to make the medicinal properties of these medicines milder. Some of them are three parts of the poison, and the so-called refining is to refine the toxins inside."

After He Yue finished speaking, she turned to look at me.

I nodded as an acknowledgment of his answer.

Then, I pushed the medicine bottle in front of him in front of him and said:

"open to take a look."

He Yue pulled out the cork suspiciously, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance immediately permeated the not-so-spacious room. He Yue was taken aback, and quickly put the cork back on, saying:

"This is [Blue Flower Pill]? I remember it's not cheap. I bought it for Alayah? It's better to take it early, as it will cause the medicinal properties to slowly dissipate."

I shook my head:

"I didn't buy it."

Then I pointed to the table and said:

"I did it myself. Here."

He Yue's eyes widened suddenly, with an expression of disbelief.

I also like to see her surprised, because most of the time she is not surprised.

I took the medicine bottle in my hand, threw it up, waited for the medicine bottle to fall into my hand, and threw it up again. After repeating several times, I said to He Yue:

"Alchemists and alchemists are too rare. Especially the master level, there are too few people who can be useful. The reason is that they just know what they don't know why. So and so are mixed together. Burning with a flame of a certain degree for a long time produces a certain result, so something like this formula is passed down from generation to generation, which is the inheritance of alchemy and alchemy. But why such a result is produced, the temperature of the flame is high or low Whether it has any effect, whether it would be better to change something else, they don’t explore these things, so they scramble and study the formulas of those seniors all day long, for fear that the formulas in their hands will be discovered by others, so I often I feel that their industry will not progress, or that the progress is too slow and too accidental."

Putting the bottle containing the elixir in my hand back on the table, I also laughed:

"So, I decided to take a whole new approach... 'Scientific Alchemy'."
