Release that Witch Chapter 220: Decomposition and reduction
Roland was full of various test items on the office floor early in the morning.
Everything from solid to liquid, mineral to metal ingot, inorganic to organic.
"You look happy." Nightingale squatted down, picked up the small soup bag in the dinner plate, and threw it into his mouth.
"Of course, small town has another new witch, and her ability is so incredible," Roland raised her eyebrows. "Also, don't think I didn't see it, did you just steal the test product? "
"There are several more," she wiped her mouth, "Lucia's ability is useful?"
"It is extremely useful, whether it is decomposition or reduction, it can bring great progress to smelting and manufacturing." Roland said excitedly, "With Anna, the strength of the machine can be increased several times, even if it does not have energy Production, as long as several master machines are made manually, the production level of small town is definitely an increase of qualitative. "
The machine tool used in the workshop of Greycastle Industrial Co. is precisely finished from Anna. Although it is extremely accurate in the beginning, it is limited to the defects of the material itself. During the production process, the problems of wear and deformation of machine tool become increasingly apparent. Fragmentation is more common. Without Anna supplementary maintenance parts, these machine tool can only be used for a maximum of one or two years.
The capabilities of Lucia make it possible to precisely control the material composition. machine tool made of high-strength cast iron, steel, or even alloy can not only improve the service life, but also reach a new level of processing efficiency and processing level. For example, revolver, which can only be produced by Anna for the time being, can also enter the sequence of batch production.
"Really?" Nightingale jumped back to the table, "but she doesn't seem to think so."
"Because she hasn't really realized the value of her ability, it's the same as Mystery Moon." Roland disapproves. "If Lucia can read through «Theoretical Foundations of Natural Science», I will definitely not have such an idea."
"..." Nightingale silently shoved two dried fishs into its mouth.
When Lucia finishes breakfast and comes to the office, the ability test officially begins.
Roland watched with anticipation as she turned each test product into a pile or a few small piles of different materials. Iron ingots and iron ore turned into silver-white particles. If you look closely, you can find some on the side. Varicolored powder. Grapes and steaks have not changed, steamed dumpling has become water, meat residue and flour.
At the halfway point, she stopped suddenly, and said with a little embarrassment: "I seem to ... run out of magic power."
Roland looked towards Nightingale, and the latter nodded. "The magic power stored in her body is very small. It looks like a fluctuating smoke, but this color is the first time I see it."
"What color?"
"... grey," she said.
Roland returned to the desk and beckoned to Lucia. "The magic power of witch is increasing with age and training. You do n’t have adulthood. It is very good to do this step." He pushed the prepared parchment in front of the other party. "Since you decide to stay in Border Town, sign this contract."
Lucia looked down at the end of the contract and couldn't help but take a breath. "One gold royal a month? Your Highness ... But, but I haven't tested Ah? yet"
"It has nothing to do with your ability," Roland smiled and shook his head. "As long as you are a member of Witch Union, this contract will be valid forever."
"Even if witch's ability is useless?" she asked incredulously.
"You can understand it this way, too," said Wang Zifang, "but I believe that any witch ability has its unique usefulness, only the sequence of digging is different. So you don't need to worry about it being useless." He paused, "In addition, you should have heard the real reason for the magic power phage from other witch, so in order to ensure a smooth awakening day, you have to practice your ability repeatedly every day. After dinner, Teacher Scroll will be in the parlor To teach for witch, you also have to go to the lecture. Although you have mastered literacy, elementary math and natural basics courses are still necessary. "
"Yes, Your Highness." Lucia nodded strongly.
"You have a younger sister, right?" Roland laughed. "Take her by the way during class. She's the age to be educated."
Lucia hesitated for a moment. After raised head confirmed that he was not joking, he happily bowed, "As you bid."
After the little girl retires, Roland puts the signed contract into the drawer, and looks at the test products on the ground with thoughtful thoughts.
"What's the result?" Nightingale asked.
"Surprisingly," he held up the plate containing steamed dumpling and fiddled with the finely ground meat and flour. "Like this ... when kneading, the gluten contained in the flour will form a net. The dough-like structure makes the flour dough flexible and stretchable. Once cooked, the gluten made of protein will be denatured by high temperature. Even if it is ground into powder, impossible will return to the previous smooth and smooth appearance. This transformation is irreversible Yes, but ... "Roland picked up a small cluster of powder and spread it out in the palm. It feels soft and smooth, just like freshly ground fresh flour." She returned the flour to its original appearance. "
"Uh, I don't understand," Nightingale said, "but in this way, her ability can be regarded as a reducing substance?"
"Not so," Roland pointed to the iron ingot. "If it is only reduced, the iron ingot should become iron ore, but in fact it is decomposed into iron powder and other impurities."
"... what is her ability?" she was confused.
"It's unclear for the time being, but at least it can be speculated that maybe her ability has both effects, as to what form it takes depends on her knowledge."
"See ... learn?"
"In essence, the steak is not much different from iron ore. They are composed of a variety of particles, but the ability of Lucia can only decompose iron ore, and cannot affect steaks. I think it is because she cannot understand organic matter ... or the composition of a living body. "Roland explained that he was not sure whether this guess was correct, but there is no doubt that Lucia is the person who needs to learn and supplement knowledge as soon as possible.
Three days later, when the second fleet carrying eastern region refugees arrived in small town, the same epidemic broke out on the ship, and this time it was more serious, almost half of the people were infected. Roland learned through interviews that some patients had dark spots on the first day after boarding, which meant that they had been parasited by monsters earlier and the incubation period had been shortened accordingly.
At the same time, Roland also received a letter sent back from Kingdom Capital. The sealing wax was printed with the Margery Commerce mark.
After reading the letter, he frowned.
The evil epidemic is spreading in Kingdom Capital. The church declared that this was a conspiracy of witch and told the public that they have elixir that can fight the evil epidemic. A large number of infected people also appeared outside the city of Kingdom Capital. For safety reasons, Tasa chose to temporarily suspend the delivery of refugees.
If the time is not wrong, the first batch of returning fleet will return to Kingdom Capital after four days, and take the news that small town can cure the evil epidemic, but those patients who have been infected may not have the chance to stay close on the ship A week's journey, and the Church's propaganda also made him smell a bit of conspiracy.
After much consideration, he decided to send a team to **** Lily to Kingdom Capital. Otherwise, Kingdom Capital people and eastern region refugees will die most of this man-made disaster, and if they survive, they will become Church's devout believers.
Roland must avoid such situation production as much as possible. (To be continued.) 8
