Release that Witch

161. Chapter 161 alchemy and chemistry

    The principle and structure of the DC generator are very simple. When Roland was a child, he dismantled more than a dozen four-wheel-drive motors, removed them from the ordinary whiteboard motor to the legendary Jinchao, and wound the rotor copper wire by himself. These motors are typical DC motors.

    There is no difference in the structure between the DC generator and the DC motor. In essence, they are the same thing and the functions can be interchanged. As long as other machines drive the rotor of the motor to rotate and let the wire continuously cut the magnetic line, the energy source continuously generates an induced current.

    With the help of Mystery Moon and Anna, Roland only took half a day to assemble a simple DC motor. The stator parts were all made of wood and then magnetically supplied by Mystery Moon. The commutator segments at the end of the rotor are embedded in a truncated log with holes in the center of the log that can be connected to the Steam engine shaft. This configuration is convenient to manufacture and ensures that the commutator segments are insulated from each other.

    As for the new Steam engine, it became a processing skill for him and Mystery Moon to watch Anna perform. When she needs to make a large part, she opens the black fire, wraps a pile of iron ingot like a cloth, melts it and then shrinks the black fire, presses it into a sheet that meets the size requirements, and finally cuts it.

    On the following day, when Roland was preparing to go to the calcining room backyard to test the generator effect, the guards brought a good news that made him very happy. The chief alchemy technician from Scarlet Water City alchemical workshop had arrived in Border Town and came with him. There are more than one person.

*******************

    Cam Schuire walked very decisively, and he took his family and more than a dozen disciples to the Border Town’s merchant ship in the same day afternoon. Regrettably, James hesitated and refused his invitation.

    He did not disclose the contents of this letter to other alchemists. The more people he knew, the later the departure time. Cam is worried that the success of crystal glass firing will soon be passed to Duke’s ear, and it’s not so easy to think about it again – for this profitable luxury product, Duke definitely wants to stick to it.

    He has written the glass recipe and firing method on the parchment and stored it in the formula cabinet of the refining room. It is also a reward for Duke investing a lot of money in building an alkali workshop. It is only in the face of alchemy’s truth, whether it is crystal glass or alchemical workshop, it is worth mentioning.

    Five days later, Cam finally saw the owner of the letter, Border Town feudal lord, Roland Wimbledon.

    In the castle living room, he had just finished his work, and his butt was not yet stable. He couldn’t wait to say: “His Royal Highness, I want to talk to your alchemist.”

    “My alchemist?”The other party smiled. “Before you came, Border Town didn’t have an alchemist. But now, you are my alchemist. ”

    “You mean…Are those alchemy formulas written by you? ”Cam ignored his second half and his face became pale. He suddenly thought of another possibility. The other party is a prince. All the knowledge he received came from the teaching of the court tutor. If he could know this, wouldn’t the Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association master the essence of alchemy change? And I still want to be above them, and it’s ridiculous to say it.

    “Not exactly,” Roland said. “These formulas come from ancient books more than 400 years ago, and I discovered them by chance. It seems that hundreds of years ago, they called alchemy “chemistry.” ”

    ChangeInstitutionCam heard that the formula was not from the Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association, and he felt a lot better, but the answer given by the prince still surprised him. Alchemy books more than 400 years ago? To know that the Kingdom Capital Alchemy Association is only less than two hundred years old, is it not as good as the predecessors?

    “Yes, in the book, those scholars mentioned a hypothesis, that is, material immortality. The material that makes up the world does not disappear or increase, they just change from one form to another, such as this pastry, “Roland refers to the cake on the long table,” After you eat the belly, there is a part of you absorbed, some out of the body, if the absorbed part and the part outside the body added, They should be of equal quality. ”

    “Wait”His Royal Highness,” Cam thought, “If I burn a piece of wood into a powder, no matter how we weigh it, the weight after burning it is lighter than wood.” If the matter does not die, where did the missing material go? ”

    “These are also explained in the book,” Roland laughs. “They become gas and water. The water is bake and evaporated by the flame, so in the end you can only see the residue left behind. ”

    GasesCam felt something in his heart, “Does the air have weight?”

    “Of course, everything has quality.”The prince nodded. “It is also very simple to verify this. Put a pile of wood chips into the bottle, cover the bottle on the balance, and wait until the balance to ignite the wood chips. Eventually you will find that the weight of the bottle does not change. Because the combustion released gas could not run out, it remained in the bottle. ”

    “This…this…”Also written on ancient books? ”Cam eagerly asked, “Can you let me see the book?”

    “If you can promise me a few conditions,” Roland said.

    “You please say.”

    “First of all, you have to work for me, and the salary is calculated according to your salary at Scarlet Water City Alchemic Workshop. Second, once you accept the job, you must abide by the confidentiality regulations. In other words, you should not disclose your work to other alchemists. Third, if you agree, we will sign the contract. This contract is for a period of five years. After five years, you are free to choose to stay. The alchemy results are no longer subject to confidentiality regulations and can be displayed to other alchemist or alchemy guilds. Accordingly, if you accept these three conditions, Border Town will provide housing and chemical laboratories. At the same time, I will lend you the book «Elementary Chemistry» to you. If you don’t understand, you can ask me. ”

    It doesn’t sound like a harsh condition. Cam thought, although the words such as confidentiality regulations and chemical laboratories are really swearing, he still understands. The five-year contract was not too long. He thought that the feudal lord would ask him to stay in Border Town’s forever.

    andEven in the harsh conditions, he wants to witness it, the book records the alchemy qualitative books.

    Thinking of this, Cam got up and bent down a little: “I am willing to help you, Prince.”

    “Very good, then that’s it,” the prince didn’t seem to care much about the etiquette. “Your place of work is on the side of Scarlet Water River. After signing the contract, I will take you to the lab and get along. The use and operation regulations of those glassware.”

    What makes the chief alchemist feel awkward is why the prince of the prince talks about alchemy so skilled, and even makes people feel confident? He is just a plain noble Ah who accidentally touches the ancient books of alchemy?
However, these are all minor details. He pressed his doubts and asked, “I don’t know what my Royal Highness needs me to refine?”

    “The higher the concentration of acid, the better.”The prince answer.
