Chapter 50 Extraction Techniques
Is Lu Dian a stupid hat? Obviously not. Naturally www.biquge.info he is aware of the asymmetry between extraction technology and pharmacopoeia. But he wanted more than just a pharmacopoeia. Nangong Kun is obsessed with Dan Dao, and there is no need to say much about the requirements for extraction and refining. It is best for Lu Dian to use this trick against him, and there is an unpredictable backhand hidden under Lu Dian's extraction. Nangong Kun, the little white rabbit, didn't even think about it, and jumped into the cage that Lu Dian had carefully prepared for him. The reason why Lu Dian didn't let Bai Rong sit in a carriage was to avoid Bai Rong. That woman is too calculating, although her brain is not as good as she imagined, but under this kind of difference in interests, she will definitely not be tricked.
Nangong Kun swallowed his saliva. He was originally sitting opposite Lu Dian, but now he sat down beside Lu Dian, almost whispering close to Lu Dian's ear: "What is the extraction method you are talking about? How could such a big bargain be allowed to be touched by the Bai family. A dead pharmacopoeia for a living extraction method, as long as you are not an idiot, you can agree.
Lu Dian smiled faintly and said, "Have you ever heard of the Soxhlet extractor?"
Nangong Kun looked puzzled. Lu Dian dragged out a large box from under the seat of the carriage, opened it carefully, and a long copper pipe connected to a copper ball appeared in front of Nangong Kun. Lu Dian said: "I don't know what Brother Nangong's current extraction method is?" As soon as Lu Dian asked, he saw Nangong Kun's face turned green, this secret can't be said. Lu Dian sneered and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't ask about the private affairs of the Nangong family." In this world, whether it is refining medicine or refining tools, I think most of them still use fire, right? It's just that the Dan furnace that uses fire may be different, the exercises may be different, and the methods may be different. ”
Although Lu Dian's words are speculation, they are well-founded speculation. The reason why there is no such thing as potions in the cultivation realm is that it is obvious that in the process of refining things, a large number of people are still using fire as the basic method of extraction and refining. This method of staying in ancient times should have been eliminated quickly, but because of the cultivation of this world, the method that has remained unchanged has been purified through the improvement of human ability, and although it cannot reach mass production, it can also solve the problem. However, for ordinary people, this is not a problem. Although Nangong Kun wanted to deny it vigorously, what Lu Dian said was indeed the truth, and the most special thing about the Nangong family's extraction and refining method was on the huge Dan furnace. I am afraid that there is no medical family in the world that prefers to use the Great Dan Furnace more than the Nangong family, which is also the reason for the high yield of the Exorcism Pill.
"And my extraction method fire is only an external force, and water is the key. This conclusion suddenly hooked Nangong Kun's soul. Extracting it with water? It seemed to him to be a fantasy. Soak the medicinal herbs in water? Wouldn't it take thousands of years to get a large vat of diluted potions? Isn't this the most terrible, and what is even more terrible is that you have to separate the medicinal essence from the water, and you still have to use fire?
"You have gone around in such a big circle, and the co-authoring is boiling medicine?Lu Dian, this is a bit inconsistent with the technique of extraction and refining, are you mistaken?" Nangong Kun was a little unhappy on his face, after all, it was not a good feeling to be deceived by someone as a fool.
"It's also boiled, but my cooking method is different, and I cook it with this. Lu Dian pointed to the brass pipe utensils on the ground. This is the simplest Soxhlet extractor for simple extraction, specially prepared for Nangong Kun.
Nangong Kun frowned, he felt that Lu Dian was completely playing tricks on him. In his opinion, what is the difference between this strange copper pipe and a pot? Isn't it just a different look? But it is inconvenient for him to say directly, Lu Dian still has the ability, but this way of clearly deceiving himself is really taking himself as the wronged one.
Lu Dian knew that Nangong Kun couldn't believe it for a while, and of course he didn't intend to make Nangong Kun believe it like this. He said, "In this way, let's find a secluded place tonight, and I'll show you, and hearing is believing, and seeing is believing, okay?"
Nangong Kun smiled ugly: "Then try it." "He is an expert in refining medicine, and this kind of medicine boiling thing is really unreliable in his opinion.
The convoy traveled for a day, and after it got dark, Lu Dian instructed Hua Yun to take care of the convoy. During the night's rest and mid-day, Lu Dian called Nangong Kun, and Nangong Kun was extremely reluctant to go with Lu Dian, because he felt that this matter was unreliable at all. However, Lu Dian insisted on doing this, so let's go and take a look myself, and don't hit Lu Dian's confidence, maybe his ability is not in medicine, otherwise he wouldn't have asked himself for a pharmacopoeia.
The two of them wandered through the mountains for a while, found a clearing with a stream of water, and raised a pile of firewood. Lu Dian shook his shuangjie, and the box containing the experimental equipment appeared in front of Nangong Kun. This hand made Nangong Kun wake up and fall asleep, this storage magic weapon is rare, Lu Dian still has such a treasure, I really didn't find it. Nangong Kun was interested, so he naturally cheered up.
Seeing Lu Dian take out a small pot from the box, Nangong Kun's face suddenly collapsed. Nangong Kun no longer has any hope in his heart, no matter what he boils medicine or not, he should be accompanied by the prince to study. Lu Dian took out the copper pipe and divided it directly into three sections, which was unexpected by Nangong Kun, it seems that this copper pipe still has a bit of meaning, but when he thought that it was a fancy medicine, Nangong Kun lost interest. No matter what mechanism you have, boiling medicine is boiling medicine, and the nature is the same.
Lu Dian took out a bag of homemade tea leaves from the box and handed it to Nangong Kun and said, "Try the medicine I prepared, can you guess the use?"
It was the first time for Nangong Kun to see Lu Dian take out the medicinal materials, and his interest suddenly increased As a result, the so-called medicine package was opened and saw that it was a package of medicinal powder, which put an end to the possibility that Nangong Kun wanted to judge the medicinal materials from the appearance. Nangong Kun said in his heart that Lu Dian is really a chicken thief, but you dare to show off your medicine in front of me, and I will know what you are when I taste it. Nangong Kun took out a handful from the medicine bag and put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it, but the smell was fragrant but it was a smell that he had never smelled. After putting it on his tongue and fiddling it a few times, he frowned lightly and said, "What the hell is this, there is no trace of aura, could it be a weed?"
"It's some of the little market shops in the Westland, but they made it from a mess of leaves. This is a real tea for me, although it is not a spiritual grass, but it has the effect of refreshing the mind and calming the nerves. As a medicine practitioner, can't you feel it?" Lu Dian poured the cooling water into the copper pipe, and the tea bag was also prepared, so he carefully took out a bottle of purified alcohol from the double ring, this is real pure alcohol, and Lu Dian used a lot of methods to purify it. Unexpectedly, in order to show Nangong Kun the purified caffeine today.
Nangong Kun pursed his lips, the astringent taste of the tea leaves was indeed a bit medicinal. Although it does not have the aura of heaven and earth, it has a unique medicinal property that he has not seen. In the elixir, aura is one thing, which determines the level of the elixir, but at the same time, the medicinal properties are also extremely important, which determines the use of medicinal materials. The medicine that heals injuries is the medicine that heals injuries, and the medicine that dispels poison is the medicine that dispels poison, and they should not be confused. Sometimes, medicinal properties are even more important than aura, because some special situations require targeted medicinal materials to refine targeted pills, and there are many different types of exorcism pills, but the world doesn't know about them.
"Good herbs. Lu Dian: I don't think it's going to boil medicine. You can use this herb to exchange pharmacopoeia with me. "Nangong Kun is really not interested in boiling medicine, that kind of thing has been annoyed since he was three to ten years old. He boiled medicine almost every day at home, and now he is disgusted when he sees it, so he is so obsessed with pills. Hating soup is probably one of the most important reasons.
Lu Dian smiled: "Don't worry, I haven't started yet." After Lu Dian finished speaking, he uncorked the alcohol bottle and said, "Today I will use this thing to refine the refreshing ingredients in this tea for you, you have to take a good look at it!"
The corners of Nangong Kun's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: What are you kidding, boiling out the medicinal essence? I have been boiling the medicine for seven years until the end there is only one result, the medicine is paste, and there is no other way.
Lu Dian carefully poured the alcohol solvent into the copper bottle, and suddenly, he frowned and looked into the darkness. A voice said lazily: "It's a bit too much to call me for such a good wine." ”
