Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 396: Insect-catching fruit
On the other side, Xia Fan also got the first batch of insect-catching fruits sent by the Silver Star Tree Boat.
The pick-up location is in the courtyard of the New Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.
After a simple inspection, the elves of Silver Star received their own payment-a large basket of silver and a dozen boxes of copper coins. Maybe they didn't care about these extraneous things before, but now, these money will become the foundation on which they rely.
Insert an app: The perfect re-engraving of the old version of the book-chasing artifact can change the source of the APP-Mimi Read.
The bureau can directly provide moderately priced grain, cloth, coarse salt, and iron tools, all of which are urgently needed by the boat. After the islanders were taken away by the receptionist, Zhuo Fulan volunteered to stay and instruct the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering on how to use these fruits.
She has decided to serve as an example for everyone to enter the new world.
What you saw and heard on the silver star tree boat, and Jin Xia risked the imperial fleet to fight in close quarters, just to save more people, all show that they are completely different from the imperial people.
This trust is worth her giving.
After finishing the preparation work, Zhu Fulan first used a spatula to scrape the outer hairs of the insect-catching fruit, then drilled a small hole in the exposed shell, and poured the milky white liquid inside into a porcelain bowl.
These liquids look quite viscous, much thicker than coconut milk.
"The juice of the insect-catching fruit will be affected by the light and become invalid, so it must be used as soon as possible after it is poured." She introduced as she operated, "In the case of standing, its effective time is between one hour and ten hours. , The more sticky you go back. Of course, if you are just catching insects, the rest time is enough."
"So you use sunlight to control viscosity?" Mo Yun immediately noticed the key.
"Accurately speaking, any light is fine." Zhuo Fulan spread the mucus on the ends of the two wooden sticks, then put them together and put them in a black box. "So the unused insect fruit must be sealed. Go up the hole and put it in a dark place."
After waiting for half an hour, she took out the wooden stick and handed it to Xia Fan.
"You can try to pull it apart, being careful not to touch the sap, it hasn't started to solidify."
After Mo Yun's translation, Xia Fan did what he said.
He tugged lightly at first, but the stick did not move.
So he started to increase his strength.
The two ends of the stick are gradually being pulled apart, but there are still countless filaments connected to the glue.
It wasn't until almost 50% of the strength was used that the stick was completely divided into two.
The bonding strength is really beyond Xia Fan's expectations.
Mo Yun took the exhibit curiously, and looked around, "What will happen if someone encounters it?"
"It will be stuck, and it's quite troublesome to handle." Zhuo Fulan replied, "It is especially suitable for bonding living things, wood, porcelain and fur. Metal and crystals are not so effective. It is not effective in blocking the empire. During the invasion, the islanders also tried to use it as a weapon and trap, but the effect was very mediocre."
Xia Fan can imagine it.
In order to maintain its stickiness, it must be stored away from light, so it must be used before the battle. At the same time, it will quickly fail due to light, so only in caves, underground and other places will there be a little chance to stay solidified. As a weapon, the limitations are too big.
But as a kind of biological glue, it can be said to be quite qualified.
"Miss Mo, what do you think?" He looked at the head of the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering.
"I have to admit that you have a good eye for picking things." Mo Yun said with satisfaction, "There are golden vines in the front, and insect-catching fruits in the back. Although it is a pity that metal cannot be glued, the specific adhesion strength needs further testing , But the Agency should have quite a few places to use it."
"Then let the Silver Star Tree Boat increase the output of insect-catching fruits." Xia Fan turned to Zhuofan, "What will this glue look like after it fails?"
"Similar to a solid, with a certain degree of hardness, but not as hard as a stone." The latter took a "white stone" from his pocket and placed it in Xia Fan's hand.
Xia Fan squeezed it and found that its surface was smooth, like a common pebble by the river, but with force, it could feel a certain degree of toughness. Considering that this colloid can be freely shaped, can the finished product be used as a component that does not require high strength?
After he asked what he thought, Zhuo Fulan did not immediately deny it, but replied with a little regret, "I also asked my father about this. In fact, the islanders also want to use it to lose its stickiness after solidification. One characteristic is to make real objects such as short bows and knife handles, but in the end only jewelry is successful."
"Why?"
"If the glue accumulates too high or too thick, there will be a situation where the glue on the surface solidifies first, but the inside is not yet. It has poor light transmission, so the outer layer will become a kind of seal Container to prevent the complete consolidation of the glue."
"So that's the case." Mo Yun thought thoughtfully, "This is equivalent to the object has only a thin shell, which is empty inside, and it is difficult to maintain its own strength. It is fine to make jewelry, if it is a bow Things like the body are easy to break during use."
"It's okay if it's damaged." Zhuo Fulan smiled bitterly. "The point is that the glue inside will still leak out, and accidents can cause catastrophes, such as sticking clothes and flesh together. Then I thought. To tear it off is almost no less than a torture."
Light...Isn't it going through?
Xia Fan was lost in thought.
"Do you have any new ideas?" Mo Yun asked familiarly. The two had been working together for a long time, and she knew that the problem had been figured out when she saw Xia Fan's appearance.
"It's not easy to say for the time being." Xia Fan organized the wording, "You should remember ~IndoMTL.com~There are actually many kinds of light, right?"
"Did you say what was written in the principle of the book?" Mo Yun nodded, "Although it is difficult to understand, but those words are still remembered-we can only see visible light with the naked eye, and in addition to visible light, it is still There are so many invisible lights... Honestly, it's incredible. It's not visible anymore, and you can know that it exists."
"Isn't qi such a thing? You can't see it, but you can drive it." Xia Fan stretched out his hand, "Of course the point is not this. What I want to say is that different types of light have different penetrating powers. ."
"Uh... Master Xia, Miss Mo, can I ask, what are you discussing?" Zhuo Fulan asked curiously.
Mo Yun repeated Xia Fan's words on the spot.
The elf girl suddenly fell into a daze.
"You can continue." She turned to Xia Fan again, "If I understand correctly, do you want to try those more penetrating invisible light to make the inside of the colloid solidify?"
"This is indeed the idea."
"Interesting." Mo Yun has entered a state of research, as if light is flickering in his eyes, "If the experiment is successful, it can also prove in disguise what he has heard-there is indeed invisible light in the world. You plan to How to make them?"
"It was originally a difficult thing to do, but during the time I visited Gyeonggi, I stole it from the Privy Council... and found a secret book of fairy art."
"You mean—Xianshu?"
"Well, the name of the technique is Jiuyouhuo."
Mo Yun's cold and indifferent expression has completely disappeared, replaced by an eager look.
Xia Fan couldn't help laughing out loud, "I can show it to you, but really... it's not easy to understand."
Suddenly he felt his eyes flash.
Mo Yun grabbed his arm first, then hugged him full of arms.
