Chapter 580: There's no good thing in the family
A fairly empty stone house, a simple shiyan platform, a few alchemical utensils, and a few chairs, this is Tang's own laboratory.
After a few casual fiddling with something similar to a test tube crystal bottle, Don pulled over two chairs and smiled at Matthew Man, who was standing a little cramped on the side: "Hehe, it's really simple." Mr. Ma, please be seated. ”
“xiexie。 Hurriedly thanking him, Matthewman, who had just been appointed as Done's assistant, sat on the chair and rubbed his hands, looked at the surroundings and hesitated, "Actually...... This is already a haode. ”
"Huh?" Tang En couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in astonishment when he heard this, although he had no substantial contact with the alchemy field, but don't forget, he had bought an alchemy device for Lena when he was in Laiyan City, and any one of them would cost at least a few thousand gold coins, without discounts. In this way, let's compare these primitive devices in front of you that are obviously not worth much...... It's not on the same level at all!
Matthew Man seemed to have guessed what Don was thinking, and shook his head helplessly: "The conditions here are incomparable to Bran, and it is not easy to have an exclusive personal laboratory here......"
After a pause and a glance at Don, Matthewman couldn't help but be more sure of his previous choice, and continued, "But fortunately, as long as the level is enough, the materials here can be called at will. Well, Arthur your rank...... It should be fine, right?"
This can be regarded as a temptation, a test of Donne's general position in the craftsman's house, in order to judge whether his choice is right or wrong. After all, the meaning of those royal guards, His Royal Highness's carriage, etc., was high, but it was too far away from here. The so-called county officials are not as good as the current management, which is also the reason.
But it is clear that Matthewman's cautious temptation is doomed to be useless. Because Don was thrown here by Lansha. For a while. I didn't know how much authority I had, so I honestly spread my hands and said, "I don't know if there's a problem, well, is the level of transparent crystal high? I need that thing." ”
"Uh......" Matthew Man was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then patted his head and knew that he had asked a stupid question, the other party was obviously the first time to come to the craftsman's house, how could he know the level. Then he suppressed the faint regret in his heart and replied. "Clear crystals, oh, it's crystal associated mines, that's fine, I can get them now." ”
"Hah, that's great...... Ma Lao also has research on ores?"
"It's not research, it's just a lot of contact. Matthew Man smiled bitterly, "There are too few people here in the Northern Wilderness who understand alchemy knowledge, so people from various research subjects often draw each other to help. For example, I don't think I'm just a metal alchemist, but over the years. I can even make some simple potions. ”
This is to catch the strong man...... Tang En shook his head with a smile, and then said what he needed for the crystal ore. Quite simply, the purer the better.
Seeing Matthew Man nodding away, Don's eyes flashed slightly, of course he knew the other party's purpose, but he didn't care. He needs a helper, and the other party needs his protection. It's fair that both sides take what they need.
After these thoughts passed in a flash, Don frowned, thinking about how to get rid of the unknown toxin on his body.
In the past few days, Tang En has not been completely in a comfortable state of eating and drinking, and after secretly observing, he found that the degree of surveillance around him is actually very low. Except for the more than 100 guards in the stone tower, no one else was watching. Of course, this was not caused by Lan Sha's carelessness, but only showed that she was very confident in the poison that was placed on Don En.
That's exactly the case, with Tang En's current perverted physique, not to mention that all poisons are invulnerable, but I really haven't seen poison trapping him before. But now this poison is like a maggot in the tarsal bones quietly waiting in the meridians and bones of his body, let the blood and qi wash away again and again, still immovable, extremely tenacious.
But fortunately, this poison is supposed to be a chronic poison, and I haven't seen it break out once in so many days. And judging from the fact that Lan Sha has not shown up since he entered the city, this poison will not kill him in a short time......
Thinking of this, Don touched his chin and smacked his lips and muttered, "Tsk, it seems that we have to find a way to meet that chick first." I don't expect to get an antidote, at least I have to put some words out. But before that...... "looking up at the place where the small explosion had just occurred," "it's a place where poison is concocted, so I guess there should be some information about it." ”
......
Soon after, Matthew Man brought in a large number of associated crystal mines, which were moved into the laboratory by several black-robed apprentices.
Most of these apprentices were teenagers from the Northern Wilderness, and unlike ordinary barbarians who had some bad brains, they were all quite clever, and everyone could speak Bran's language, although a little stiff, but they were obviously specially cultivated.
From this point, you can also see a little bit of the ambition of the Empress of the Northern Wilderness. Although all these apprentices can do now is to fight, when decades have passed, and when Matthewman's group of alchemists, mostly from Bran, grow old, this artisan will be controlled by them, the pure people of the Northern Wilderness.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Tang En, thinking of the Empress of the Northern Wilderness, his heart is full of slander in addition to a little admiration...... TMD, the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked! The old chess trick is bad, and the character is very bad. The little Lansha has a lot of thieves, and there is also the one named Tiu, Tang En also remembers, is it not the crazy general who once surrounded and suppressed him? In short, this family has no good things!
While constantly sneering, Tang En couldn't help but gradually raise the corners of his mouth as he observed these associated crystal mines, which were either complete or broken.
The situation is much better than he expected, and I don't know if it is because of the influence of the otherworldly environment, the crystal mines here are naturally very pure, and even some of them do not have the slightest impurities, and there is no need for secondary processing at all.
"In this way, you only need to polish the concave lens...... Well, polishing is a problem, but relying on blood gas, it should be able to remove surface burrs to the greatest extent...... And then there's the lens power, oh, I forgot to ask the chick how many degrees of myopia...... Forget it, she doesn't know if she asks, just make a few more pairs of glasses then...... The biggest problem now is the focal length power, so how do you calculate the formula......?
Squatting beside the crystal mine, Don kept muttering nervously, which made Matthew Man and the few apprentices who were learning from him dumbfounded, and his head was full of question marks.
Polishing, focal length, power...... What the hell is this!
snapped, clapped his hands, and found that Tang En, who had no big problem, got up satisfied, shook his head and sighed: "It's too backward, if there are optical lenses, everything will be done." ”
"Uh, Arthur, optical lenses...... What is it?" Matthew Man asked weakly, then patted his chest and promised, "You describe your appearance, and I'll send someone to find it for you." ”
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hand: "Hehe, forget Ma Lao, this thing is really hard to find in the Northern Wilderness, just have something to replace." ”
"Oh, then you tell me, what are we going to do?"
Tang En chuckled, knowing that Matthew Man was in a hurry to show that he wanted to get closer to him, and he didn't break it, so he gestured politely and said: "Then it's troublesome Ma Lao, well, pick out some crystal ore first, as long as it is the purest, there can be no impurity." Then divide them into small pieces, each about this size......"
After the explanation was completed quickly, although Matthew Man and the apprentices didn't know the meaning of Donn's actions, they were still very cooperative.
Originally, Don thought that Matthew Man would have a hard time doing these jobs, after all, crystal ore is also very hard, and for ordinary people, if they don't use violent means to smash it directly, it will be a very patient job.
But in fact, after Matthew Man and the others found a few transparent knives, they easily pierced into the crystal ore and slowly split it. The success rate of removing the fine lines caused by uneven force is about half and half, and the prototype of round lenses is quickly obtained.
Upon inquiry, Don knew that the transparent knife was called a mining knife, and it was an alchemy item, and its function was to divide most of the common ores as harmlessly as possible. Of course, as the name suggests, this is an exclusive tool, and if it is used as a weapon, it can be easily broken.
Seeing that he didn't need his own help at all, Tang En, after greeting Matthewman, made a handshake, walked out of the laboratory, looked left and right, and walked towards the place where the poison was concocted......
