When saving the Great Drought that affected the entire Main Plane Continent, Sui Xiong had produced a lot of salt, really a lot, so much that could be piled up into a mountain. Vertices M. updates the fastest

Of course, these salts are coarse salts, bitter and astringent, and perhaps the poor don't mind the taste, but Sui Xiong himself dislikes them. In his opinion, this salt is garbage. Not only does it taste bad, but it also contains a lot of minerals that are harmful to the human body, Sui Xiong lacks scientific knowledge, and he also knows that seawater is undrinkable, and the key reason why it can't be drunk is not dirty, but a large number of harmful minerals in it.

Sui Xiong once heard a popular science that said that the reason why seawater is undrinkable is that the excessive salt content is certainly one thing, and the various other minerals contained in it are another. He didn't remember what the minerals were, but he still had an impression of the name, what emetic salt, Epsom salt...... Just listen to the name and know what the consequences will be if you eat it.

So even though he incidentally obtained mountains of salt when he got fresh water from the seawater for disaster relief, he couldn't find any good way to use it. Eventually, Palin, the chief scientific research expert of the Masquerade Void Church, was given a task to study a way to purify these coarse salts into edible salt.

There is also a technology for drying salt in this world, and naturally there is a way to turn coarse salt containing a lot of impurities into refined salt that is almost free of impurities. However, those methods require the use of magical assistance, which is too costly, and does not have great practical value other than being enjoyed by the upper class.

The rank of the special spell "Purifying Coarse Salt" is mid-level, and the mage who can cast this spell is at least equivalent to a knight, and he only casts two or three spells a day, which can add up to ten to fifteen catties of salt. "Purifying Salt Water" is a little lower, and close to the intermediate level mage can use it, ordinary intermediate mages can use it about ten times a day, but considering that salt can only be obtained after the salt water is evaporated, in fact, the efficiency of making refined salt is not as good as "purifying coarse salt".

In general, considering the human resources and spell-casting materials, a pound of refined salt purified by magic is worth about twenty gold coins, which is the cost, the pure production cost, and only the cost of drying salt can be so low. If it is boiled salt, three to five gold coins should be added per catty. Plus the transportation ...... Refined salt in inland areas can sometimes even be sold for more than 100 gold coins per catty!

It's undoubtedly a profiteering industry, but in fact there are very few people who do it, very, very, very few. Because in the vast majority of cases, people would rather eat no more coarse salt than a pound of hardware.

What? You say it tastes bad? You say it's bad for your body?

Just eat less!

Therefore, the market for refined salt is not large, and the profits are not huge.

Sui Xiong gave Palin the task of researching a way to purify coarse salt at the lowest possible cost. As for what the research budget is, the old rule is that you don't have to care about the money, try to spend it.

Even so, it took Parin more than a decade to complete the study.

And the solution he and his researchers finally found was extremely simple.

It's so simple that it only takes two words.

"Powder" and "wash".

Yes, those are the two words that Parin used to name this salt.

The specific method is not complicated at all, first of all, the coarse salt is finely ground, as fine as possible, as fine as flour is the best. Then they are poured into the brine, and as more and more salt is dissolved in the brine, gradually the salt is insoluble in the water, and in physical terms, it is called "saturated".

This saturated brine can no longer dissolve the salt, but it can dissolve the impurities contained in the salt, and use it to wash the finely ground coarse salt powder to obtain refined salt with very little impurity content.

After washing, the resulting fine salt has very little impurities, and if necessary, it can also be used to make saturated brine for a second wash, or even a third ......

Generally speaking, the fine salt obtained after washing three times has no peculiar smell at all, and it is very pure. Parin also added some filtration, precipitation and other impurity removal methods in the process, and the final result is a refined salt as delicate as rice flour, snow-white and crystalline, and excellent taste.

He named it "powdered salt".

Sui Xiong listened to his report and inspected their research institute, and could not help but be sincerely happy for them.

"This is a remarkable achievement!" he said, "Palin, if my estimate is right, if you are willing to spread this technique widely, this feat may be enough to become a god, of course, it is estimated that it is only the lowest faint divine power." ”

Parin smiled, not excited.

It's not that he looks down on weak divine power, no matter how "weak divine power" is, he is also a god, a great existence of immortality, and a level that mortals can't reach. It's just that what he's after isn't this.

"In the process of researching refined salts, it was not me who really made a huge contribution. He said, "It's Ferakenki." ”

Sui Xiong, of course, knew who Ferrakenji was, and he was originally a pig-headed chef known as the "Green Mage", but later had an adventure and devoured the soul of an ancient sorcerer who tried to resurrect his body in vain, and then became a mage, and then with the help of Milomon and Mado, he delved into the creation of the Blue Magic, which is characterized by "devouring demonic beasts and learning spells......

He also saw Feira in the research base, because the life span of the pig-headed man was not long, Feira was already full of gray hair, and his fat face was gradually thinning, proving that his life had reached an advanced stage, and the battle with the soul of that ancient wizard had benefited him a lot, but also caused him to lose a lot of life. In addition, in order to end his long-cherished wish with his old opponent Rubisriu for many years, he used taboo means to lose his life, so he defeated his opponent at the world's first martial arts tournament and avenged the revenge of being underestimated and bullied in his youth.

Now he is almost in his last years, although he is not so trembling that he can even walk, but in fact, even if he falls tonight and will not wake up tomorrow, it is not a strange thing.

Sui Xiong still knew about his scriptures, but Sui Xiong never imagined that this pig-headed man with an impatient temper and limited talents, who seemed to be able to become a magician only by relying on good luck and the help of friends, turned out to be the key person in inventing the coarse salt purification technology.

Looking at the peaceful smile on Ferra's old face, he couldn't help but think of a famous quote in his heart.

That's a ...... No one should be disguised!(To be continued.) )
