Chapter 733: Refining Star Epiphany
The rarity of Epiphany is due to the magical properties it possesses.
It also lies in its ultra-low content and ultra-high mining difficulty, as well as the complex refining process.
With an average content of less than one part per million, only one gram of gold powder can be extracted from one ton of gold ore.
Because of the natural ultra-high hardness of the Xingtan Gold Mine, hundreds of thousands of disciples from the Meteorite Sect could only use the characteristics of the Flying Star Shuttle that were harder and sharper than the Xingtan Gold Ore to chisel down from the ore deposit little by little.
Hundreds of thousands of laborers can only be exchanged for the output of dozens of tons of ore, which shows the difficulty of mining.
But the magic of Xingtanjin is magical, it only takes a little bit to change the characteristics of other materials, so that it has the unique characteristics of Xingtanjin, and the strength of the effect depends on the amount of content.
It is estimated that the entire Meteorite Sect does not have many Flying Star Shuttles made of pure star gold, not that they can't be made, but that it is too extravagant to do so.
Everyone knows that the Pure Star Alchemy is easy to use.
However, with the physique of the natives of the Great Wilderness Realm, even if they are not good at forging their bodies, a weapon in hand must be at least hundreds of catties to build a base.
It is worth mentioning that the magic cultivation of the Great Wilderness Realm does not have the habit of some plane casters using magic staff to cast spells, and the weapons they use are not much different from physical cultivation, but the way to release the additional power of weapons is different.
At most, it is to use long-range weapons such as the Flying Star Shuttle to maintain the style of the Shuxiu.
Therefore, if the disciples of the Falling Star Sect want to get a pure Star Epiphany weapon of any shape, it is conservatively estimated that they must first save up to 50 kg of Star Epiphany.
But according to the average production of 100 grams a day, it would take about a year and a half for the Whole Meteorite Sect to save a Pure Star Epiphany weapon, who could afford it?
Even if Ji Chenzi was the contemporary sect master of the Meteorite Sect, he would not dare to use the Pure Star Epiphany weapon so extravagantly.
After all, the Star Epiphany was the asset of the entire Meteorite Sect, not the private property of one of his sect masters.
If he dared to deduct Xingtan's gold to fill his own pockets, those disciples working below would have rebelled a long time ago, who would be willing to work for people for day jobs and chisel stones there all day long?
But the daily output of Xingtan Gold is so much.
In addition to sharing the profits to the disciples of mining, grinding, smelting, refining, and other processes, part of the star gold as a reward.
As the main resource output of the Meteorite Sect, it has to take out most of the output and exchange it for cultivation resources with other cultivation sects and secular countries.
Although the cultivation of the body is not forged, in order to improve the cultivation, the various rare cultivation resources consumed are at least ten times more than the amount of the physical cultivation, which is why the number of the cultivation is not even one-tenth of the physical cultivation.
This comes and goes, and the rest of the part has to be evenly distributed among hundreds of thousands of Meteorite Sect disciples, so that Ma Yue can save up enough for a pure Star Epiphany weapon in the Year of the Monkey?
Therefore, using the pocket-sized Flying Star Shuttle as a talisman has become the only choice for the vast majority of the disciples of the Falling Star Sect, otherwise what can they do? They are also desperate!
But now, in front of them, someone smashed enough of the Xingtan gold deposit that they had been digging for a hundred years to dig stones from all over the Meteorite Sect with a single punch, how could they not be shocked?
Although these raw ore of Xingtan gold mined still have to go through a complicated crushing, grinding, and calcination process to refine Xingtan gold.
But compared to chiseling the raw ore of Xingtan gold from the extremely hard ore deposit, the subsequent processes are much simpler, after all, an ore is burned, and a pile of ore is also burned, which can save much more time than mining!
Moreover, Bai Yuqi's action of shattering a large amount of Xingtan gold ore with one punch did not stop there, he grabbed a handful of Xingtan gold crushed ore and twisted it, and thoughtfully summoned a set of small smelting equipment.
This thing is a small portable device used in the world of Ethers to condense and reduce the crystallization of dark matter.
Slightly modified, leaving only the function of the dark energy flame to calcine and melt minerals, it can be used to refine other minerals.
"Dark energy flame" should be called "dark matter thermal expansion light wave" to be precise, which is an invisible energy state that does not even react with light.
The black-red flame that can be seen with the naked eye is actually a manifestation reaction formed when dark energy is neutralized with matter, not dark energy itself.
According to the theory of "dark matter thermal expansion", this form of energy, which is similar to the Big Bang, can theoretically have a temperature of up to more than 10 billion degrees, so let alone use it to smelt ore, what do you want to burn?
Of course, it is only a matter of melting an ore, even if it is a rare mineral such as Epita, which has the properties of absorbing, transforming, and storing energy, making it difficult to smelt with natural flames.
However, since the disciples of the Meteorite Sect can smelt by channeling natural energy and forming supernatural flames.
It proves that the melting point of this rare mineral is relatively "not high", so it is not necessary to turn the melting power of the dark crystal condensation reduction equipment to 10 billion °C.
Directly from 3000 °C to the beginning of the temperature, to reach 4000 °C Xingtan gold ore began to change color, to reach 5000 °C began to produce melting phenomenon, when 7000 °C to reach 7000 °C impurities in the raw ore began to gasify rapidly, resulting in the disintegration of the raw ore structure.
After adjusting the temperature of the equipment back and forth, Bai Yuqi determined that 10,000~12,000 °C was the best smelting stage for Xingtan Gold.
Then the bloody Tai Sui beside him beckoned, and the crushed ore all over the ground turned into a tumbling dragon, converging into a stream of gravel and burrowing into the feed port of the smelting equipment.
Obviously, there was only a device more than one person tall and more than ten square meters in size, but after tens of thousands of tons of Xingtan gold crushed ore poured into it, there was no sign of filling it up.
As the smelting equipment began to operate, the projected internal phantom showed that the ore was rapidly melting, and a large amount of impurities and harmful substances were directly vaporized and introduced into the Void Plane, and the remaining Xingtan gold liquid converged into a small molten metal, hovering inside the smelting equipment.
With the smelting technology of the Meteorite Sect, the purity of the Star Epiphany that can be refined is between 80%~90% at most.
Through the dark crystal condensation equipment, the roughly refined Xingtan gold liquid has reached 99.9% purity.
Bai Yuqi said that he was not very satisfied, and let Bloody Tai Sui release the [Refinery] and [Extraction] of the refined Xingtan Gold Liquid, removing the remaining impurities in it, making it 99.9999% pure.
However, the absolute purity has caused the star gold to fail to solidify, so it can be seen that too high purity is not a good thing.
After thinking about it for a while, Bai Yuqi took out a piece of Xi Gold and threw it in, and added point cloud elements and gravity to it as if cooking, as well as various rare trace elements, and after some micro-adjustment and ingredient ratio experiments, it began to be fused and shaped.
