It's not that hard to open a hospital in another world, right?

Chapter 1138 How many tons of moon sand are needed to stop the ore vein burning?

Half an hour later, Elder Fahim, Anarilingo, You Dian, and several other elves who stayed at the outpost swarmed over.

Each of them took a copy of mineral No. 1593 - the words written on the label of the mineral box, translated, probably similar to "moon stone" or "moon sand" - followed the operating procedures set by Gretel, step by step .

Then, a group of elves held their breaths, opened the cloud chamber, or directly covered it with mental power, and observed the burning ores:
"The burn has slowed."

"It does seem to slow down."

"Is it as simple as that? Pour the moonstone in and extinguish the burning veins?"

"We have been searching for the answer for thousands of years but haven't found it. So, is it so simple?"

The elves whispered to each other, with expressions of surprise, joy, and disbelief on their faces.

Elder Fahim stood there in a daze, his eyes squinted, his gaze far away.With a stooped back and loose skin on his face and hands, he looked like a weather-beaten old tree at first glance.

No, it's not that they haven't found it after searching for thousands of years, but that the elves didn't look for it at all.

The elves, who are proud of their magic, have regarded magic as the only solution from the very beginning.

Even if I thought about using minerals, I just used various metals to pour them into partitions. I didn't pour all the minerals that can be found in the world into the burning veins like Gretel...

"Don't rush to celebrate yet." He said slowly.At the same time, a somewhat erratic and hoarse voice came from beside my ear:

"Wait...the experiment is not finished yet..."

Elder Fahim followed the prestige.On the left hand side, Gretel also just turned his head to look over, and when the two eyes met, Gretel smiled and made a "please" gesture.

The little guy still respects the old man very much... Elder Fahim grinned in his heart, smiled and shook his head:

"You come, you come. This experiment was designed by you from the beginning to the end, and of course you presided over it. The next step."

Gretel bowed slightly to him.Then he turned his gaze to the warehouse:

"This...moonstone? Moonlight sand? How much more?"

As soon as he asked, there was an explosion sound in the crowd.Gretel leaned back reflexively, and looked intently again, only to see that Judian had disappeared in place——

Gretel: "..."

I know you are in a hurry, but you don't have to be in such a hurry!Why bother to run out of the air boom?It's only a few steps from here to the warehouse, 10 seconds for 5 meters and 5 seconds for [-] meters, and the difference is only [-] seconds!
He had just finished complaining, when a figure flashed in front of him, and Judian had already rushed back.The half-step legend stood calmly with his hands behind his back, with a look of "I haven't moved at all, the person who ran so fast just now has nothing to do with me":

"I'm lucky. I still have half a basket. At that time, this thing was sold cheaply, so they just picked a basket and brought it back... about 100 pounds?"

Gretel frowned, tangled, and didn't speak.He looked at You Dian, and then at Elder Fahim, his eyes were wandering, obviously he was in trouble.You Dian waited patiently for half a minute, then stomped:

"Just tell me what you want me to do! ——Even if you want me to carry these moonlight sands and go to the center of the secret realm, I will go!"

"Yes, Gretel." Elder Fahim persuaded slowly from the side:

"It has been our dream for thousands of years to restore the fairy secret realm. For this reason, we have lost countless compatriots. What you see in the cemetery is only a small part. If we can succeed, we are willing to pay more sacrifices... ..."

He looked around, and every elf he looked at nodded firmly to him.Elder Fahim patted his chest lightly:

"Including me, an old man, it's not impossible to sacrifice. You just need to say what you need to do."

But I can't make people sacrifice casually.And the number of elves is so small, it is even more unbearable to sacrifice...

Gretel smiled bitterly in his heart.He took a deep breath, threw the messy thoughts behind his head, and began to design the experimental method:
"Let's take half of the moonlight sand first and repeat the experiment. This time, pour some more burning ore into it to see how it stops burning."

"Ok, no problem!"

Youdian is gearing up.Gretel hesitated:
"If this experiment is successful, I hope you can take these moon sands and go to the center of the secret realm. Pour them into the burning vein—"

"Is it enough to pour it all in?" You Dian subconsciously asked.Gretel shook his head slowly:

"Don't pour it in all at once, just like you did before, dig a little ore and put it in the moonlight sand. Watch it go out, dig a little more and put it in... By the way, remember to put a lot of crushed lead in the moonlight sand piece!"

"What? I have to carry hundreds of pounds of broken lead?"

You Dian's legs softened, and he was already considering whether to dismantle his lead full armor and throw it directly into the moonlight sand.Gretel is still struggling:

"Actually, 50 pounds is really too little... It's only useful to pour tons of this kind of thing..."

How many tons of borax were dumped in Chernobyl?

Chernobyl was still only a nuclear reactor with limited fuel.Here in the Elven Secret Realm, it looks like the entire uranium mine is on fire...

Even if you just do an experiment, you need a whole ton of borax to be useful, right?

However, the whole ton of borax, not to mention the question of whether You Dian can carry it on his back - there is space equipment, you can ignore this for the time being - after it is poured down, you have to stir it, right?

Stirring, you have to withstand great radiation, right?

In the Chernobyl incident, it seemed that the helicopter fell down... What should we do now?Flying monsters?Or a flying puppet?Or is manpower thrown in at the edge?

Forget it, don't think about it for now.Let's gather enough borax first... Do you want to go outside the forest for a run?Back and forth for a month?Or, this time, only borax is needed, and the speed can be faster without so many people passing by?
"If it's moonlight sand, I still have some here." Elder Fahim interrupted slowly.He glanced at the surprised Gretel:
"What are you doing? Moonlight sand can be used as medicine or as an alchemy material. It is still useful. It is not easy to go out here at the outpost. I have a lot of things like this that can be stored for a long time. "

This "not much" was beyond Grete's expectations.Elder Fahim dragged out a very large wooden box, which was full of translucent white moon sand.He pointed at Gretel with a gesture:
"Take it and use it, take as much as you want."

...This box is more than one cubic meter by visual inspection...According to the density of borax, it can contain almost 2 tons...Are you going to use it forever...

As long as it is not made into boric acid solution and washed in large quantities, people who come out of the radiation area will wash one by one. If it is purely for medicinal purposes, even if you are a long-lived species, you can also use it when you are buried in the soil, right?

Gretel groaned frantically.He confiscated all the borax without hesitation, leaving only one kilogram for the elder.Then mix it with crushed lead lumps of equal volume—rather than equal weight—and give it to Judian:
"It's up to you, boss! — Wait, draw my blood first!"

You Dian bravely went in again.This time, when he came out, his eyebrows were beaming, and every strand of his hair exuded joy:

"It works! It really works! ——Little Gretel, I shoveled the burning ores in one by one as you said, and they really went out! In the end, I poured the whole box of moon sand into a fire port, That crater was actually suppressed a little!"

That is an inextinguishable fire, an eternal fire!
How many seniors, how many legendary masters have worked hard to suppress it a little bit, as long as the magic power disappears, the eternal fire will rekindle!
Now, pouring down a box of moonlight sand can actually extinguish the burning ore. This method is too simple!

"Sit down first, sit down first." Gretel pushed him down forcefully, drew blood, performed a microscopic examination, and performed various body checks.You Dian sat obediently, unable to stop opening his mouth:

"It's just moonlight sand, just pour it in! It's not expensive! It's such a big box that you don't spend a single gold coin, so it's a little troublesome to transport! Lead blocks are not expensive, you can buy them at will... "

"So, how much moonlight sand is needed to stop the burning of the entire vein?"

After Gretel finished a blood smear, he couldn't help but ask after hearing his lively talk.Youdian didn't even think about it:

"According to the previous experiment, if you mix one-tenth of the ore in a box of moonlight sand and crushed lead, it will definitely be fine. Mixing in one-fifth is a bit troublesome. See if it can be mixed evenly. One-third mixed, probably not enough..."

"What about the whole vein?"

Yudian fell silent.He is a warrior, not a spellcaster, let alone a legend-level spellcaster who masters the core secrets of the elf secret realm.How big is the whole lode?

As far as he could see, on the mountain in the center of the elf secret realm, there were countless gaps, and there were dots of light everywhere.And beyond the hills, the former residential areas, gardens, schools, martial arts arena...

Youdian didn't want to think about it.But it is said that this place was chosen to build a settlement because it was on a mine vein full of magic power...

Gretel stared at the microscope, brushing and writing all over a sheet of paper.After comparing it with the previous data, I breathed a sigh of relief, and asked back:

"How many reserves does this vein have? How many tons, or how many tons?"

"do not know……"

"How big is this mine area?"

"do not know……"

"Okay, how big is the entire Elven Secret Realm? How high is the mountain in the center? How big do you think the place where there may be mineral veins is, and how deep are the mineral veins buried?"

"The center of the secret realm... a radius of 30 miles." You Dian thought slowly:

"The mountain in the center isn't too high, it's less than 500 meters from the ground, and there are burning veins around it... at least 10 miles away?"

Gretel did a quick mental calculation. 500 meters, multiplied by the diameter of 10 miles, multiplied by the density... Alas, I don't want to forget it...

In short, throwing hundreds of thousands of tons of borax down, should be able to get it done, right?
