Chapter 6 Mentors
"Distillation, what distillation, how come I've never heard of it?" Glo frowned, a thoughtful look on his face.
Seeing this, Twelve hurriedly explained, "This distillation technique is a method that I have summarized by watching your experiments to separate substances and improve purity when I was an experimental assistant. β
"The way to separate substances and improve their purity? It's up to you? a medicine slave who is not even an assistant?
Dare you say you have knowledge that we don't know?"
Glo casually took a glass strip from the experimental table and slammed it on Ying Xingyun's head, he looked at Ying Xingyun angrily: "Moreover, you are a lowly experimental subject, and you dare to casually call something that has not yet been proven?"
Who gave you the guts?"
Ying Xingyun was stunned.
He realized that he had completely miscalculated Glo's reaction, that he had been a little too reckless.
He also underestimated the class power of the other world, living on the earth in the era of peace, it is difficult for him to imagine that there is a contempt for the high in the underworld for the low in the underworld that transcends the class itself.
This is something that the Ying Nebula, which once lived in the civilized world, has never felt.
Ying Xingyun retracted his gaze and gathered his divergent thoughtsβhe was already in a difficult position to ride a tiger, so he could only continue with his head.
Otherwise, Glo would have literally cut out his tongue.
Ying Xingyun sighed in distress.
"Lord Glo, you'd better cut off my tongue!
Since you don't want the spell you've created anymore, I'll have to throw it away for you. β
This is a strategy that Ying Xingyun came up with on the spot, to retreat into advance, biting to death that "the distillation technique is Glo's own originality", this central argument, attracted Glo's curiosity and self-esteem.
Sure enough, as he expected.
Glo was starting to get a little interested.
"Hmph, you little medicine slave is funny, why do you say that the so-called 'distillation' was created by me?" Glo sneered, "I don't remember I created such a thing......"
Ying Xingyun's expression was straight, and he explained very seriously: "Of course, it is the technique you created, and when I was your experimental assistant, I had the privilege of seeing many of your 'experiments'.
This distillation technique is summed up from this, and with your status and level, you will not pay attention to such 'little things', so it is normal that you will not notice it for a while. β
Ying Xingyun sighed deeply in his heart, he once again realized the cruelty of this world.
At the same time, there is also a deeper desire for the powerful transcendent.
In such a world, the weak have no voice.
Ying Xingyun's praise was very comfortable to listen to, yes, how could he pay attention to these trivial things at his level.
Only these lowly slaves would be like this, and if they pick up the little garbage he misses, they should treat it as a treasure.
"Hmph! Glo admits he's starting to get interested.
It's definitely not because of Ying Xingyun's inferior touch, but because his teacher, Kono, has been struggling with an acidic material lately.
However, all the methods have not been able to improve its acidity, could it be that the teacher is in the wrong direction?
Previously, the teacher had been trying to find a way to use other materials to improve the acidity, but the acidity not only did not increase but decreased, so is it possible that the acidity is not enough at all, but the purity is not enough?
Thinking of this, Glo couldn't help but get a little excited, maybe this so-called distillation technique could really surprise him.
"There's an old saying in our hometown, 'What the ear hears is false, but what the eye sees is true,' and I can't show it to you myself if I say more.
Please give me this opportunity. Ying Xingyun looked at Glo very confidently and said.
Glo smiled coldly, "I hope you won't let me down." β
After driving away the redundant assistants in the laboratory, Ying Xingyun took out the recently made "test tubes", "distillation flasks", "condenser tubes", "homemade simple thermometers" and other items from the cloth bag he was carrying, which he had made by himself in the past week.
When he was in college, he didn't help his chemistry teacher burn these simple glass instruments, so he was also very "experienced".
The only thing that is a little troublesome is the material from which the instrument is made - "crystal".
Crystal is very cheap in this world, but it is a special material for the laboratory, and it is not easy for him to get some.
It also took him several days of breakfast to successfully bribe his friends who worked in the laboratory in exchange for these things.
Looking at Twelve, who kept pulling out strange instruments from his pocket, Glo couldn't help but feel a little surprised, these strange instruments he had never seen before.
You know, he's a master of secret medicine!
There were very few things he hadn't seen!
This so-called distillation technique may not be as simple as you think!
Glo glanced at Ying Xingyun deeply, this guy codenamed Twelve was very likely to bring him a surprise.
He didn't dislike Ying Xingyun because of the fact that Ying Xingyun made experimental instruments privately, these little things didn't mean anything to him.
After fiddling with all the instruments, Ying Xingyun began to ask Glow for the important "material" - alcohol.
In this world, grain is a very precious resource, and making wine from grain is an extremely luxurious thing, and ordinary people can't afford to drink it.
It's even more unlikely that a medicine slave like Twelve could have such a thing.
After being stunned for a moment, Glo generously took out a large barrel of "wine" from the space ring.
Seeing a large barrel of wine appear out of thin air, Ying Xingyun's eyes widened in surprise, and he subconsciously looked at the bright silver ring on Glo's hand, could this be the legendary "Space Ring"?
At this moment, he suddenly felt a little absurd, and there was a feeling that the novel was reflected in reality.
In this regard, Glo smiled disdainfully, "Hmph! If you are really a cheap slave who has never seen the world, can a barrel of wine shock you so much?"
Ying Xingyun quickly came to her senses, poured a large glass of wine out of the barrel, and looked at the somewhat cloudy red liquid in the beaker.
Ying Xingyun put the beaker to his mouth and took a sip gently, the mellow fragrance in his imagination did not appear, but had a bitter and strange taste.
The taste is not good, the purity of the alcohol is not high, it seems that this world is more fermented liquor, and there are not many distilled spirits, or it has not yet appeared.
The wine was poured into a distillation flask, the small mechanical stove was lit, and the experiment began.
This experiment is very rudimentary, but fortunately, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs, and Ying Xingyun stared at the experiment while explaining the "experimental principle" to Glo.
After a short time, the Erlenmeyer flask at the end of the device was already starting to condense liquid.
After waiting for about half an hour, the Erlenmeyer flask already had about one-third of the volume of high-concentration alcohol in it.
Glo couldn't wait to pick up the Erlenmeyer flask, put it to his mouth, and drank half of the alcohol directly.
The concentration of alcohol was beyond his imagination, and as soon as the colorless liquid entered his throat, it was like a red-hot knife, scraping his throat fiercely.
He was used to drinking low-concentration fermented wine, where did he suffer from this, and he coughed violently, and his face was a lot more rosy.
The pain came and went quickly, and his body didn't know what kind of monster he had transformed into for a long time, and soon, his body adapted to this "spirit".
Gully draining the rest of the alcohol, Glo reluctantly put down the Erlenmeyer flask.
It's so enjoyable. It was definitely the strongest liquor he had ever drunk, not one of them.
Looking at Glo's aftertaste and enjoyment, Ying Xingyun silently scolded in his heart, "Turtle." β
"Yes, you did give me a big surprise, and this distillation technique is very useful.
What do you want? Tell me about it, as long as it's not too much, I can give it to you. Glo happily patted Ying Xingyun's shoulder.
"Hehe, I don't have much pursuit, my lifelong dream is to follow in your footsteps and do some research. Ying Xingyun looked at Glo with a sincere look in his eyes and said.
"Hmm, you want to be my student?" Glo's brow furrowed slightly, he was not qualified to be his student with just one distillation technique.
Seeing the reluctance in Glo's heart, Ying Xingyun also knew that it was indeed difficult to impress Glo with this distillation technique alone, so he spoke again: "I don't know what you think of this distilled spirit, how does it taste?"
You must know that on Earth, it was the era of distilled spirits, and he deliberately led the topic to the direction of distilled spirits, implying that Glo himself was still valuable.
Glo wasn't stupid either, and with a little contemplation, he saw the huge business opportunities in distilled spirits.
Needless to say, the taste of this distilled liquor is not to mention, those fermented liquors are as light as water, and the taste is more than one grade worse.
Picking up the Erlenmeyer flask that had been filled with alcohol again, Glo sniffed it fiercely, and in the aftertaste, he also realized a very important problem.
Yield! Yield is the biggest problem.
It's one thing to make it in the lab, it's another thing to produce it on a large scale.
"If you had a way to make distilled spirits on a large scale, maybe I would consider taking you as my student.
Take these first......" Glo said as she pulled out some strange potions from the ring and handed them to him.
Now that Ying Xingyun has shown his worth, Glo doesn't mind increasing his investment in him.
"To tell you the truth, I've already got some eyebrows. "He's not bragging, as a keyboard scholar in the twenty-first world, he knows almost everything, and the technology of distilled spirits has been played out on the earth, so he can take a little bit casually, and this distilled spirit will become.
Glo was silent for two seconds.
"Very well, then you are my student now. "This twelfth has really brought him too many surprises.
"Yes, Mentor. Ying Xingyun hurriedly climbed up the pole.
"Well, don't let me down. β
"Mentor, I'll try. β
After that, the two discussed some details about the distilled spirits, and it was not until lunchtime that the two of them left the laboratory together and walked towards the cafeteria on the fifth floor.
Originally, Ying Xingyun was not qualified to go to the fifth floor to eat, but now that he is a student of Glo, his identity is naturally different.
Glo also took this opportunity to announce the news to everyone.
