Chapter 144: Alchemy
Wang Yong sent Amy back to the cave, Amy has now moved out of the alchemy room, and the Terracotta Warriors and Horses have built an exclusive quiet room for Amy, which not only has a small spirit gathering array, but also all the furniture, Wang Yong is a little greedy.
Hei and Bai have become bullies in the cave, and they have occupied the fourth quiet room next to Amy's exclusive quiet room.
Other people who need to cultivate don't grab them, because they can't grab them, even if they go into the No. 4 ashram to cultivate while they are not there, as long as they come back, they will unceremoniously kick people out.
Except for Amy and Wang Yong, the two beasts of Little Black and Little White didn't give face to anyone, but fortunately, the current quiet room was enough, and everyone acquiesced to the ownership of the fourth quiet room.
Wang Yong thought about it for a while in the alchemy room, and simply planned what he would do in the next few days. The first is to refine the Yan Dan, not only for the sake of these women in the territory of Kra, but most importantly, because Wang Yong is very short of money now.
Wang Yong estimated that those rich ladies should be willing to spend money on Dingyan Pill, and no woman would want her appearance to grow old and lose her attraction to her husband or the opposite sex.
Then there is the construction of this asphalt lake base, which is rich in mineral resources, and the existence of this cave, and it will also become its own technology base in the future, so the construction here is also a top priority.
In addition to military buildings, people's livelihood construction is also indispensable, and Wang Yong plans to build this place into a second seaside city.
After deciding what to do, Wang Yong found Regan and asked him to temporarily deal with the affairs in the territory, and he wanted to retreat for alchemy.
Reagan is also interested in alchemy and wants to watch it together, but he still has a lot of work to deal with, so he has to wait for the next time.
When Wang Yong came to the alchemy room, he first transported the Qingxuan Gong and spit it out for a whole night, adjusting his state of mind and the mutated true qi to the best state.
Wang Yong, who had no waves, first took out the medicinal materials and materials used in refining Bigu Dan, and began to refine the simplest Bigu Dan according to the steps that had already memorized the rolling melon.
In the process of refining, Wang Yong confirmed a truth, there is a gap between theory and practice. The gap encountered by Wang Yong was even greater, there were originally more than 80 materials, and the first 60 or so all failed, either because the temperature was too high and all the materials were burned into steam, or the temperature was too low, and the materials were not completely melted.
Wang Yong looked at the few remaining materials in frustration, and he was about to cry if he was wronged, he didn't expect alchemy to be so difficult.
There were still more than a dozen materials left, and Wang Yong did not continue to try, but began to exercise his divine sense according to a secret technique on the jade slip.
According to the records on the jade slip, after practice, you can use your divine sense to penetrate the real object and observe the reality that is difficult to see with the naked eye.
Wang Yong practiced this secret technique in order to be able to see the changes inside the alchemy furnace ding, which was also a secret technique specially recorded and emphasized by Master Chuanyunzi.
Before, Wang Yong just glanced at it in a hurry, and he didn't care too much, but now it seems that he is not a genius in alchemy, so he can only use his divine sense to observe, remember all the changes in the material, and then he can copy this process in the future, and turn the elixir that should have been refined through a mysterious communication into a thorough mold production.
Although the effect of refining the pill in this way is not the best, and it is rare to be able to produce high-quality pills, for Wang Yong, it is enough to be able to refine the pill.
Wang Yong felt that it was not refining an elixir to improve strength or prolong life, but just refining Bigu Dan and Dingyan Dan, no matter how bad the medicinal effect was, as long as it could slow down aging.
Unconsciously, Wang Yong had been practicing in the alchemy room for five days, and finally practiced the secret technique, and his divine sense could barely penetrate the furnace to see inside.
If Chuanyunzi was still alive, it is estimated that he would not dare to accept Wang Yong as an apprentice, and he should treat Wang Yong as a peer, because cultivating divine consciousness in cultivation is the most difficult, and it is not impossible for someone like Wang Yong to be able to penetrate the physical object with divine consciousness, but absolutely no one can practice it in only five days. Those seniors who were able to penetrate the physical object with their divine consciousness in the past, which one was not super powerful, but even so, it would take at least ten or eight years of cultivation to do so.
Wang Yong didn't know this, and he was still very dissatisfied with his progress. When Wang Yong successfully cultivated the secret technique, he found that this secret technique was actually very simple.
Wang Yong thought depressedly: "You have to practice for five days for such a simple thing, have you been with Carl and them for a long time, and their two hundred and five have infected yourself? ”
Wang Yong slept beautifully all day, and when he woke up, he was full of energy before starting a new attempt.
After six consecutive failures, Wang Yong finally figured out the temperature control of each step, and finally succeeded in refining a furnace of Bigu Dan on the seventh time.
Looking at the more than a dozen small fingernail-sized, crystal clear white pills in his hand, and smelling the faint medicinal fragrance emitted by the pills, Wang Yong couldn't help but pick the one that looked the worst quality and swallowed it.
It didn't take long for Wang Yong to feel hot in his stomach, and then slowly turned cool, and when all the changes disappeared, Wang Yong didn't feel hungry.
Wang Yong hummed a small tune with joy on his face, made a small bottle out of spar, put away the rest of the Bigu Dan, and then continued to start refining according to the procedure just now, refining all the remaining materials into Bigu Dan.
In the next eight refining, he failed four times, and the success rate was fifty percent, and Wang Yong was quite satisfied with this. Moreover, Wang Yong was still in the process of refining, using the thermometer made by Reagan to record the temperature and time required for each stage in detail, thinking that in the future, he could find someone to refine the pill according to the record.
In these refining processes, Wang Yong also gradually learned about the joints of some refining pills, that is, controlling the temperature at various stages, fully burning the dregs in it, and not letting the materials lose their medicinal properties, which is the key he summed up.
Looking at the more than 70 Bigu Dan in the vial, Wang Yong's mouth was cracked like a hippopotamus, and his front teeth made of spar also flashed with brilliance of various colors.
After his state of mind calmed down, Wang Yong took out the materials for refining Yan Dan, and divided the materials he had into ten parts according to the amount recorded in the Dan Fang.
Wang Yong let out a sigh of relief, abandoned all distracting thoughts, threw a piece of material into the furnace in order, and carefully controlled the ground fire port under the furnace to control the temperature inside the furnace, and then used his divine sense to carefully observe the changes in the materials in the furnace.
Refining the Yan Dan is much more difficult than the Bigu Dan, and the steps of refining are also very complicated, and the temperature changes between each step are uncertain, and if you are not careful, you will lose your efforts.
After each failure, Wang Yong has to find out the reasons for the failure, adjust it, and mark the correct method on the note.
In this way, when the ten materials were exhausted, Wang Yong successfully obtained the three-furnace Dingyan Pill. Among the three furnaces of pills, the first furnace and the second furnace each only refined six ordinary Dingyan pills, while the last furnace unexpectedly obtained twelve pills, and among these twelve pills, six of them were much better than the others.
Wang Yong carefully divided the Dingyan Pill into two bottles according to its condition, and then simply cleaned up the room, and couldn't wait to leave the cave to find someone to test the medicine.
Wang Yong convened the meeting hall and, according to the usual practice, listened to everyone's work reports first.
In the past ten days of Wang Yong's alchemy, the newly purchased slaves have arrived, and after they learned about the treatment here, they are all full of enthusiasm, and now they have been divided by Kevin and them to dig the foundation of the city wall.
Steward Hal reported that because of the increase in population, the food was consumed too quickly, and it was expected to be enough for three months.
Shirley reported that although there are no large expenditures these days, the amount of gold coins needed to purchase materials for full production is also decreasing, and if there is no income, the territory is purchasing food twice, and the funds will be depleted.
Ryan reported that the training of the 200 junior officers had ended, and suggested that the formation of the corps and the training of recruits should begin.
Reagan reported that the phantom array was drawn on the various tools made with the compound magic array, but somehow, the phantom array could not be operated, and now it cannot be put into auxiliary production.
Wang Yong frowned, and decided to go to Regan's to solve the problem of the phantom array together in a while, this is the key to technical secrecy, and it must not be delayed.
Mu Sen reported that the Minotaur is very suitable for hoplites, and hopes to form a Minotaur hoplite brigade first to see the effect.
Wang Yong's reply to these things is one sentence: "Now we are short of manpower, and we will talk about it later." ”
Phoebe reported that during this time, many people who went out to pick up the families of slaves were sent back one after another, including more than 200 poor people and more than 600 slaves, and the distance was still on the way.
There are also reports on production, calculating the progress, Wang Yong is quite satisfied, and it is expected that he should be able to supply the construction needs in time.
Wang Yong instructed the dwarven smelting base to build another rolling mill, which would not make steel bars, but make thinner aluminum wires, and required the aluminum wires to have good toughness and strong folding resistance.
That's right, Wang Yong is going to make wires, which is also the inspiration he sparked when he used magic electric fish, and now he has a preliminary plan, just waiting for time to find Reagan and them to study the magic array of power supply and the insulation material outside the wire.
After that, he has to study the production of glass, which Wang Yong is very bottomless, he doesn't know if there are materials used to make glass in this world, maybe Reagan can use alchemy materials instead, anyway, this is not in a hurry, so it has not been put on the agenda for the time being.
Wang Yong also ordered to gather some craftsmen who know construction to gather here to study the plan for the construction of this asphalt lake base. And let Phoebe have the manpower ready, and as soon as the plan is decided, start construction immediately.
