Virdra's laboratory is next door to the sewage treatment plant, and it is a large brick house with all the equipment.

It's still a holiday, so Virdra gave everyone in the lab a holiday, and he was the only one who came to serve the slimes.

"This is my makeshift lab. Virdra explained to the two young guests, "This is mainly to do some experiments on the transformation of different foods after digestion in the slime's body. Because these experiments require a lot of slimes, they are placed in this convenient place to obtain a large number of slimes. ”

Charles and Diana looked at the layout of the laboratory and thought it was a little creepy.

The shelves against the wall are filled with clear glass tanks, almost each filled with liquids of various colors, as well as a slime the size of a soccer ball, and strings of bubbles that oxygenate the water.

It would be nice if all these glass tanks were filled with beautiful goldfish, but these tanks were filled with round and wriggling slimes, and the long table in the middle of the laboratory was full of all kinds of unpredictable experimental equipment, and if the lights were dimmed, it would be the scene of a horror movie.

If a brave man sneaks in here one night, he will definitely think of Virdra as the Demon King.

Virdra had just gone to Slime Gully to fetch live slimes for an experiment, and the basket he was carrying was stuffed with eight live slimes, all of which he had poured into a large pool of water next to the laboratory door.

"This pool is filled with pure water. Virdra explained to the guests, "Freshly picked slimes must be kept in here for a few days to eliminate the substances contained in their bodies as a result of the treatment of the sewage. ”

Charles nodded, the slimes specially raised at his home were fed maple syrup water every day since he was a child, so he could directly use them to make sweet slime jelly. If you don't feed maple syrup for a while, the slime will have no taste.

That's when Diana asked, "Do experiments with only water-born slimes?"

Virdra nodded and replied, "Yes, aquatic slimes are not as active as terrestrial slimes, they are more resistant to disease, have a wider diet, grow faster, and reproduce faster and more, so I chose aquatic slimes as my main research subjects." ”

He then walked in front of the shelf with two guests, and said, "Slimes will produce some substances after eating different foods, and slimes containing these substances will take on different properties after being made into slime glue in different ways. ”

Veldra pointed to a glass jar and said, "The food that this slime eats contains a lot of sulfur, and the slime glue made after a certain amount of treatment has greatly improved its elasticity, heat resistance and strength, and I am very optimistic about their prospects." ”

After saying that, he pointed to one of the glass jars in the row below, and said, "This slime is different, it eats oil-rich fruits, and after it is squeezed into juice and properly processed, it is a high-quality lubricating oil." ”

Charles and Diana followed Virdra as he introduced the characteristics of the slime, while Virdra only gave a general introduction, and the most important core technologies such as "certain handling" and "appropriate handling" were not mentioned.

Rao was like this, and the two guests were still shocked in their hearts.

As Virdra's research continues and the results are industrialized, a slime chemical system will be built.

Charles asked, "If you need to produce all kinds of slime glue in large quantities, is there enough slimes now?"

"It's definitely not enough. "Sewage treatment plants have been built in several cities in China, but they are only a drop in the bucket. I'm planning to build some professional slime farms, but I don't have enough manpower. Originally, I was going to do small-scale free-range farming and local rough processing, but the quality was not easy to control. ”

Charles nodded, one of the major problems facing the Rurik Kingdom now is the shortage of labor, the agricultural population is infested by demonic beasts and the casualties on the Western Front battlefield make the country's population growth extremely slow.

Although the front line is now equipped with an "organ", it can only block the demon's attack.

When Charles was at the Springfield Arsenal some time ago, he heard calls for the militia to be equipped with new rifles to stabilize the farms and the rear of the countryside.

Even if these two lines can be stabilized now, it will take at least twenty years for the Rurik Kingdom to usher in the first wave of youth, and the dilemma of labor shortage will be barely alleviated at that time.

Virdra continued, "Slimes need plenty of water and flat land, and now the riverside flats are mostly cultivated, and it's hard to find a suitable place. ”

Charles and Diana were both at odds with the dilemma faced by large-scale slime farming. Charles had only raised lampfish in a straw tank, and Diana had a large basilisk farm at home, but she didn't think there was a comparison between raising a basilisk in a cellar and raising slimes in a gutter.

"As a result, the production of aquaculture has dragged down. Charles sighed.

After thinking about it, the number of cars can't go up because the number of tires is not enough, and the number of tires is not enough because there are not enough slimes to produce tires.

Then Charles asked, "So can you produce high-purity pure slime glue, and then add various additives to refine it for a second time, so that those slime glue can achieve the expected performance?"

Virdra was first surprised, then looked at Charles with appreciation, and said, "I am also studying the method of producing slime glue like mining steelmaking, but there are still many problems encountered during the period, and the determination of those additives alone is enough for us to have a headache, let alone production." ”

Charles nodded as he listened, although the recently released new slime glue was okay to use for carriage wheels, shoe soles and figure skins, but in the face of extremely demanding industrial and agricultural equipment, those slime glue were completely insufficient.

After walking around the lab, Virdra said to the two guests, "Let's go, I'll take you to see one of our official results." Although we have encountered many difficulties, there are still some significant achievements. ”

A short distance from the back door of the laboratory is downstream of the Pendragon Canal, into which treated water from the sewage treatment plant next to it is discharged.

After the two followed Virdra across a stone arch bridge, they noticed that several behemoths with the wrong style had appeared on the land opposite the Pendragon Canal.
