Emperor Hong is refining the elixir of life!

Since the day when Hong Tao used blue alum to prepare concentrated sulfuric acid at the mouth of the Yinhe River, a rumor has circulated in Jinhe City. Everyone thinks that Hong Tao is refining the elixir, because only Taoist priests play this kind of thing, and Hong Tao himself has the name of a half-immortal, so he is naturally regarded as refining some immortal medicine. The elixir of life bears the brunt, aren't all emperors good at this, even if Hong Tao is a true half-immortal, he is also an emperor, so naturally he can't be exempt from vulgarity.

"Da Lang, does it smell like an immortal medicine on your body? Can you give me a taste when you're done......" It's not just others who spread this rumor, even Bo Zhu believes it. After enduring it for several days, I finally couldn't bear it anymore, and I whispered to my husband while I was eating dinner, and my eyes flashed with extreme excitement.

"Two things! First, if you dare to call me Da Lang in the future, I will take you to the roof to make love, so that everyone in Jinhe City can see it; Second, what I got is not an elixir, but a highly poisonous thing, which is used to kill people, and whoever doesn't believe you will ask them to go to the council and make an exemption document, and then I will let them drink enough! Hong Tao didn't understand why ancient people wanted to live forever, even women like Bo Zhu had this idea. They can't explain it to themselves, and they don't need to explain, as long as they say one more word, they won't know it until noon, and the whole Jinhe City will know about it.

In fact, rumors are a thing, as long as you ignore it, it will soon be self-defeating. As time passed, everyone began to doubt the statement that Emperor Hong was refining the elixir in the woods at the mouth of the Milky Way. Because several slaves had already been sent back, they were all poisoned. Soon, the mouth of the galaxy became a place more terrible than the mines, where only the most dishonest slaves and Mongol prisoners of war were sent to work, and although the work was similar to that of making oil mixtures, the casualty rate remained high. It's basically all poisoning.

So Emperor Hong's claim of making poison prevailed again, and the Milky Way, which was originally a heavily polluted place, became a forbidden place for the people of Jinhe City, so they couldn't go, who wanted to go to work in a place where there was a pungent smell everywhere and there were no fish and shrimp in the river.

"See? It's called concentrated sulfuric acid, and it's a very basic chemical. With it, we can build a lot of things. For example, lead-acid batteries that can produce lightning, glass that is as transparent as crystal, high explosives that can hold several barrels with a small can, and various miracle drugs for curing diseases. Write down every word I say, it's not a fairy, it's a science, it's called chemistry. If this knowledge is learned well, it will be even more powerful than Qi Zu and Wen Xiaoqi. You are like a true immortal, you can create something out of nothing, create something that did not exist in the world, and you are more powerful than a fairy, do you want to learn? ”

Hong Tao doesn't care what others think of him. He doesn't care if he thinks of himself as a god or a devil. When the first jar of concentrated sulfuric acid was placed on the table, looking at these transparent oily substances, his little eyes were full of all kinds of stars, and his teeth and claws began to flicker again, and there was only one person in the audience, that is, Bush.

"It stinks...... Bush leaned over to the mouth of the jar and fanned it with his hand. He shrugged his nose, his face full of bitterness. He had no liking for the pungent smell of the liquid. I don't believe it's as powerful as Hong Tao said, it's almost catching up with the artifact.

"You have the potential to be a chemist, it's a shame not to study this." Hong Tao was not disappointed with Bush's performance, on the contrary, he was even happier. Because I only told me once how to smell this unknown liquid. Bush remembered it, and did it well, and if such material is not used well, it will be a waste of talent.

He cultivated a group of metallurgical and forging talents like Qi Zu, as well as ship design experts of the Wen family, and made the Weng family a petrochemical pioneer in the thirteenth century. There's no reason not to try to see if you can teach another chemist. Although I don't learn chemistry very well, I still remember the basic things, as long as I have a foundation, I can follow the vine and slowly synthesize more advanced substances. Whether or not the chemical industry can be set up depends on whether people like Bush and others have spirituality, and they can only give them a start, and they need to walk the road on their own.

"Come, the master will let you see how powerful it is, and then you decide whether to learn it or not, look carefully!" Fooling people, sometimes just saying it can't be done, and you have to come up with some real materials, and now Hong Tao plans to show Bush what a chemical reaction is.

Concentrated sulfuric acid and relatively pure table salt are put together, heated in a small distillation kettle, and then the resulting gas is cooled and integrated into distilled water, and the resulting solution is concentrated hydrochloric acid. This is one of the most important experiments in high school chemistry, and if you understand this chemical reaction, you can build the whole chemistry foundation. The three acids and two bases in modern industry are the mixtures in mahjong tiles, and they can be mixed with most substances to produce new compounds.

Hydrochloric acid is similar to concentrated sulfuric acid, and it is also a transparent liquid with a slight brown color, but it is not as viscous as concentrated sulfuric acid. However, it is very volatile, and as soon as the container is opened, there is a strong smell of hydrogen chloride.

"Come, stretch out your arm, and the master will play tricks for you." Hong Tao did not stop the experiment, and the hydrochloric acid alone was not enough to persuade Bush, and he dripped concentrated sulfuric acid onto Bush's sleeve, and saw a dark spot appear on the white cloth. Then he stabbed it with a small stick, and a hole appeared in the piece of clothing as if it had been burned by fire.

"This is the new dress my mother just bought for me...... Why not try it on with your old clothes? Bush looked at the hole in the sleeve of his clothes, and his face immediately became bitter, and at the same time, he also reacted that he had been calculated.

"Nonsense, do you learn the ability or I learn the ability! If you can't even give up the sleeves of a dress, you can learn a fart skill. This dress is also not wasted, and the sleeves are cut short, so it can be worn as short sleeves. Hong Tao glared at him and sternly pointed out Bush's ideological misunderstanding. I've been busy for more than half a month, and I'm not allowed to make fun of others. These things that he taught Bush are no weaker than spells, and as long as he can memorize one-tenth of them and have the patience to explore them, he is likely to become a Lublan in this era. Compared to the great achievements of the future, a dress counts as a fart.

"Take out your short knife, and the master will wipe it for you! It's kind of a loss for the sleeves of your clothes. Seeing Bush's unlucky nature, Hong Tao also felt that it was not interesting to bully a hairy young man, and came up with an idea to make up for Bush's losses.

"You won't burn my knife out of the hole, will you......?" Bush didn't want to give it, but because of Hong Tao's obscenity, he didn't dare not give it, so he had to shudder and pull out the dagger from his trouser leg and slowly put it on the table.

Most of the citizens in the Jinhe Empire have the habit of carrying daggers close to their bodies, which is the custom of the Tan family and the Li people, and many sailors also have this problem, so the parliament and Hong Tao do not restrict it. If everyone has weapons, they don't have anything, because they have a deterrent effect on each other. The only thing that needs to be guarded against is the government, because when the people have the capital to resist, the government will not dare to do whatever it wants, which is also a kind of checks and balances. Most people don't, and only a few people have trouble.

"Are you lazy, you don't even bother to sharpen your own self-defense weapons, and the instructor didn't teach it in school?" Bush's dagger is very simple, with only three copper nails on the wooden handle as decoration, and the blade is still made of steel five or six years ago, which is probably a coming-of-age ceremony given to him by his family. The children in Jinhe City are considered adults when they reach the age of fifteen, and this is also the old custom they have retained.

"......" In the face of Hong Tao's questioning, Bush kept his head down and remained silent. He really had no reason to argue on this question, according to the requirements of the nautical school, the dagger worn by each cadet must be constantly sharpened, and if any signs of rust were found, he would be criticized by name.

"Look, I slowly poured the concentrated sulfuric acid down the edge of the bowl into the distilled water, and it turned into dilute sulfuric acid. Remember, you must pour concentrated sulfuric acid into the water, you can't pour water into the concentrated sulfuric acid, if you don't want to die, listen to me. Take this dilute sulfuric acid and brush it on a knife...... Wipe it with a cloth again! Here you go, you are the first to accept the Emperor's knife sharpening service. While using sulfuric acid for the dilution test, Hong Tao taught Bush how to operate, and then used a cotton cloth dipped in the diluted sulfuric acid solution to wipe back and forth on the knife surface. Soon, Bush's rusty dagger was as bright as ever, as good as the one he had just bought.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Uncle Emperor knows spells, can you let me try it? Bush watched as the whetstones on the dagger were difficult to remove the rust, and the liquid from the flood was easily wiped off, and his eyes were about to fall off. It's much more fun and useful than burning a hole in your clothes.

"Stay away from me...... Try it at the other end of the table, my face is enough to spend, and if I am splashed with sulfuric acid, I can still go out. Hong Tao was happy to let Bush try the experimental process with his own hands, and then explain it to him. But try it back, don't try it in front of yourself, it's too dangerous.

"Uncle Emperor, I will too! I know how to spell the gods! "Bush is indeed a smart kid with a strong memory and hands-on skills. Just watching Hong Tao do it once, he memorized all the steps, quickly configured dilute sulfuric acid, and removed the rust on a few iron nails. Then he was so happy that he went around the house, and whenever he saw an iron vessel, he took it and wiped it.

"What I teach you must be kept secret, and no one is allowed to say it without my permission. That's all for today, you go home first, and come back tomorrow morning. By the way, are there any of your classmates who study well like you, but can't do any work for long? If there is, you can write to them and ask them to come here and see me as soon as possible. Seeing Bush having fun, Hong Tao's interest also rose. Teaching others is hard work, but when you make progress, you get a lot of satisfaction.
