Chapter 115: Miracle Elixir, Dihydrogen Monoxide
After thinking for a moment, Li realized that he still made this matter clear in a roundabout way, trying not to hit Gro too much, but also not to let the other party continue to misunderstand.
"I think it's possible that your talent has indeed awakened. Richard looked at Grodao.
Gro's eyes lit up.
"But ......"
Gro's eyelids jumped again.
In everything, I am afraid of but.
Sure enough, the next moment, Richard was heard to say, "But...... I think this probability is still a bit low, if the talent is really awakened, then there should be a series of performances in normal times, you should have noticed it a long time ago, rather than a sudden qualitative change. ”
"Then I'm ......," Groh asked tentatively.
"I think it may be due to the external environment. Richard spoke.
"External circumstances?"
"Yes. Richard nodded, "Maybe because of the movement of some stars, last night was in the right place, which is more suitable for meditation out of the body." In addition, last night was the end of the month, there was no moon, and other reasons, and by chance, it finally led to the unprecedented success of your meditation. ”
Gro understood, and he didn't.
In his mind, Richard gave the reason, which led to the success of his meditation last night. But what is the inner principle of the reason, he really does not understand at all.
But there was one thing he still understood, he looked at Richard and frowned and asked, "Your Excellency Richard, in this way, yesterday was just a special case, and after that, I will change back to my original appearance?"
"I'm afraid. Richard said, adding a sentence in his heart: unless he helps out of the body every day.
"In that case, wouldn't I ......" Gro's mood suddenly became depressed.
Richard's eyes flashed, he thought of something, and said loudly, "However, I can help you." ”
"Huh?" Groh said, "How?"
Reaching into his arms, Richard pulled out a small glass bottle, which was actually taken out of the iron ring. The glass bottle contained a small amount of clear liquid, which was somewhat shiny in the early morning sun, and looked like gold was flowing inside.
"It's a special meditation potion that's more precious than the ether that was given to you before, you can call it ...... Well, deionized water, also known as dihydrogen monoxide. ”
"Deionized water?dihydrogen monoxide?"
"Yes, this bottle is a three-time dose, and after each use, you can be guaranteed that the effect of your exit from the body is as successful as last night. Compared with ether, this agent has an advantage that it has no side effects, no matter how many times it is used, it will not cause harm to the body, and it is impossible to become addictive. However, there are also disadvantages, that is, the storage time is very short, only three days. Therefore, after you get it, you must use it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be invalid. ”
Gro was a little excited: "Can it really be like this?!There is such a miraculous potion?!"
Of course not! Of course there is no such miracle potion!
Richard said in his heart.
The so-called deionized water, the so-called dihydrogen oxide, can only deceive people like Gro who did not have any chemical knowledge in the Middle Ages, and on the modern earth, I am afraid that even junior high school students cannot deceive.
Deionized water, which is water after removing impurities in the form of ions, is slightly purer than distilled water, and the chemical formula is H2O, that is, dihydrogen monoxide. Simply put, deionized water is water of high purity. This kind of deionized water is different from ordinary water.
In general, there are "sodium polyhydrate ions" and "potassium polyhydrate ions" in normal water, all of which will have a little sweetness. But deionized water does not have any ions, and it tastes like water.
What does water taste like? It's the smell of nothing.
If you drink too much water, beverages, and wine with various flavors, and then drink deionized water, you will have the illusion of taste buds, and there will be a faint sense of irritation, which is the residual ions of deionized water in the mouth, but it can indeed be disguised as some kind of medicine.
Of course, deionized water has no other function.
The reason why Richard said that this deionized water had a miraculous effect was just that he was going to wait until the night when Gro was out of his body to help.
Of course, this favor is not for nothing, Richard does not have a good habit of being helpful, and thinks of an equivalent exchange. Help out of the body three times in exchange for what you want.
Richard stretched out his hand and handed the deionized water to the excited Gro, and said loudly: "You can take this potion, of course you should also understand......"
"I understand, I understand. Gro did understand very well, and said aloud, "Your Excellency Richard, you say, there is something for me to do." ”
"Hmm......" Seeing that Gro was so cooperative, Richard didn't be verbose, and said directly, "It's not difficult for me to ask you to help me do something, it's just a little cumbersome." Because I'm going to make something, and before I can make it, I'm going to need some raw materials. It would be a waste of time for me to collect them one by one, so I want you to accompany me to a few places, and by virtue of your status as a prince, it would be better for me to finish things and make things in one day. ”
"Okay, no problem. After listening to this, Gro agreed in one bite.
"Then let's go. Richard was not polite.
"Okay. Gro walked quickly towards the door.
Richard followed him out the door.
Gro asked one of the guards to dismount, gave the horse to Richard, and then accompanied Richard on his way to the first target location, somewhere outside the city.
......
On the plains, outside the city of Cuijin, there was a barren, low, continuous hill that abruptly sprouted, like an unsightly acne on the skin of the earth. And in the midst of this, there is a mine.
Soon after dawn, there was the sound of shouting and whipping.
The fierce and meaty-faced overseer, armed with sticks and whips, rushed into the tents and thatched huts that were soaked in the cold wind, and unceremoniously swept at the miners on the beds, shouting dissatisfiedly: "Get up for me! A bunch of lazy pigs, don't you see the sun drying your butts? Go to work, don't work again, there is no lunch today!"
"Hurry up!
"The one over there, be neat!"
"Eslick, old Maren, don't put on a show for me, don't come to work in this mine if you have the ability! Five silver coins a month, you think it's so easy to earn?!"
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up! When Lord Orrick gets up and sees that you haven't worked, your wages will be deducted, and you will cry!"
In the midst of the noise, the miners got up, either numb, angry, neat, or slow, put on their tattered clothes, picked up their tools, and walked to the mining area in the mine.
This is an open-pit iron ore mine, so you don't have to bend down in a cave to mine ore, which is very dangerous, but the workload is huge. It is necessary to knock down the ore with a shovel and hammer with bare hands, and then sift and sort it. The good parts will be piled up and waiting to be transported, and the bad parts will be thrown away.
In front of the cliff-like walls of the mine, there are two piles of gravel, one maroon iron ore and the other discarded ore of various colors, like two small hills.
