Release that Witch Chapter 161: alchemy and Chemistry
The principle and structure of the DC generator are very simple. When Roland was a child, it disassembled more than ten four-wheel drive motors, from ordinary whiteboard motors to the legendary Jin Chaoba, and also wound the rotor copper wires by itself. These motors are typical DC motors.
DC generators and DC motors have no difference in structure. In essence, they are the same thing and their functions can be interchanged. As long as other machines drive the motor rotor to rotate, and the wire continuously cuts the magnetic induction wire, the energy source will continuously generate the induced current.
With the help of Mystery Moon and Anna, Roland took only half a day to assemble a simple DC motor. The stator part is all made of wood, which is then given magnetism by Mystery Moon. The reversing piece at the end of the rotor is embedded in a log, and a hole is left in the center of the log, which can be connected to the steam engine shaft. Such a structure is not only convenient to manufacture, but also ensures that the commutator plates are insulated from each other.
As for the new steam engine, it has become his and Mystery Moon side watching Anna performing magical processing skills. When making large parts, she opened the black fire, wrapped a pile of iron ingots like cloth, shrunk the black fire after being melted, pressed into a plate that met the size requirements, and finally cut and formed.
On the next day, when Roland was about to go to the backyard of the Calcination Room to test the effect of the generator, the guards brought him great news. The chief alchemy surgeon from Scarlet Water City alchemical workshop had arrived at Border Town, and the following came More than one person.
*******************
Cam Schuire went very decisively. On the afternoon of the same day, he took his family and more than a dozen disciples to the Border Town's merchant ship. Unfortunately, James hesitated and rejected his invitation.
He did not disclose the content of this letter to other alchemists. The more people he knows, the later the departure time will be. Cam is worried that the news of crystal glass firing will soon reach Duke. It will not be so easy to leave at that time. For this kind of high-margin luxury products, Duke definitely wants to hold firmly in its own hands.
He has written the glass recipe and firing method on parchment paper and stored it in the formula cabinet of the refining room. It is also a return to Duke investing a lot of money to build alchemical workshop. But in the face of the truth of alchemy, whether it is crystal glass or alchemical workshop, it is not worth mentioning.
Five days later, Cam finally met the owner Border Town feudal lord, Roland Wimbledon who wrote the letter.
In the living room of the castle club, he just finished the ceremony, and his buttocks were not seated yet, so he could n’t wait to say, "His Royal Highness, I want to talk to your alchemist."
"My alchemist?" The other side smiled, "Before you came, Border Town did not have an alchemist. But now, you are my alchemist."
"You mean ... those alchemy formulas were written by yourself?" Cam ignored the second half of his sentence, and his face became a little pale. He suddenly thought of another possibility. The other party was a prince. All the knowledge he received came from the teaching of the court mentor. If he could know all this, wouldn't Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association have mastered the essence of alchemy's changes? And he was delusional over them, and it was ridiculous to say it.
"Not exactly," said Roland, "these formulas are from ancient books more than 400 years ago, and I discovered them by accident. It seems that hundreds of years ago, they called alchemy as a chemical."
"Chemical ... learn?" Cam heard that the formula was not from Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association, and he felt a lot better, but the answer given by the prince still surprised him. alchemy books more than 400 years ago? Want to know that Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association has a history of less than two hundred years, is it not as good as the posterity?
"Yes, in the book, those scholars mentioned a hypothesis, that is, the theory of material immortality. The materials that make up everything in the world will not disappear or increase, they just change from one form to another. For example, this cake, "Roland refers to the cake on the long table." After you eat your belly, part of it is absorbed by you and part of it is excreted from the body. If you add the absorbed part and the part excreted from the body, their The quality should be equal. "
"Wait ... Your Highness," Cam thought, "If I burn a piece of wood into powder, no matter how we weigh it, the weight of the powder after burning is lighter than wood. If the substance does not die, then it Where did the missing part go? "
"These are also explained in the book," Roland laughed, "they have become gas and water. And the water is evaporated by flame baking, so in the end you can only see the remaining residue."
"Gas?" Cam felt something coming out of her heart, "Does air have weight?"
"Of course, all materials have mass." The prince nodded. "It's easy to verify that, put a pile of wood chips in the bottle, cover the bottle mouth on the balance, and ignite the wood chips after balancing. Finally You will notice that the weight of the bottle will not change. Because the gas released by combustion cannot run out, it remains in the bottle. "
"This ... is also written on ancient books?" Cam asked eagerly, "May I see that book?"
"If you can promise me a few conditions," Roland said in a hand.
"Please say it."
"First of all, you have to work for me, and your salary is calculated based on your remuneration at Scarlet Water City Alchemic Workshop. Second, once you accept this job, you must abide by the confidentiality regulations. That is, you must not disclose the content of your work to other alchemist Third, if you agree, we will sign a contract. This contract is for five years. After five years, you can choose to stay freely. The results of alchemy are no longer restricted by the confidentiality regulations. You can submit to other alchemist or alchemy guilds. Show. Correspondingly, if you accept these three conditions, Border Town will provide housing and a chemical laboratory. At the same time, I will lend you the book «Elementary Chemistry», if you have any questions, you can ask me. "
It doesn't sound like harsh conditions. Cam thought that although words like confidentiality regulations, chemical laboratories, etc. are really verbal, he still understands the general meaning. The five-year contract was not too long. He originally thought that feudal lord would ask to stay at Border Town's forever.
And ... even in the harshest conditions, he wants to see it for himself, the book which contains alchemy and qualitative books.
Thinking of it, Cam got up and bent down slightly: "I'm willing to work for you, His Highness the Prince."
"Very well, let's say so," the prince didn't seem to care much about etiquette. "Your work place is near Scarlet Water River. After signing the contract, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the laboratory. Introduce the use and operating regulations of those glassware. "
What makes the chief alchemist feel a little bit wrong, why is His Highness the Prince so proficient when talking about alchemy, and even makes people feel like they have a sense of success? He was just an ordinary noble Ah? who came into contact with the ancient books of alchemy by accident, but these were minor details. He pressed down his doubts and asked, "I don't know what His Highness needs me to make?"
"The higher the concentration of acid, the more the better," said Prince answer. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to start casting, your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile phone users please read.)
