Every time I come home, my wife is making garbage

Chapter 190 Alchemy without Magic

Gilneas Town has arrived...

As the sun sets, the town of Gilneas is bathed in golden light, looking peaceful and harmonious.

The wheat in the fields has been harvested, but the sugar beets are still growing vigorously.

Those who are responsible for growing beets are all believers of the Dark Church. They don't know what exactly they are growing, but they happily cultivate and take care of the crops diligently according to the "instructions of the God of Darkness."

They have happy smiles on their faces!
The minotaurs walked through the beet fields, looking at these "novel plants". Their huge noses moved slightly and they sniffed. Gareth couldn't help but wonder, "Huh? These should be beets, but they are not the same as the beets I remember."

Zhang Jingyi: "Oh, you know a lot about crops?"

Gareth said with a little pride: "All plants are our friends. I can smell that the leaves of this kind of beet are not eaten directly. Their rhizomes are sweeter. However... the sugar in the rhizomes cannot be eaten directly. Perhaps some alchemy is needed to process it a little."

Zhang Jingyi said, "Do you know alchemy?"

"Of course." Garen: "We have been good at collecting herbs and alchemy since ancient times."

"Hey!"

Zhang Jingyi was overjoyed, this was a very good thing.

He had always wanted someone who knew alchemy to come to the town, and now he had finally arrived.

Alchemy is essentially a naive and unrealistic fantasy of the "intellectuals" of the Middle Ages, who dreamed of turning stones into gold and creating wealth out of thin air.

Then they failed!
Because the law of conservation of energy cannot be violated, the alchemy technique clearly violates the principle of conservation of energy and is a vain attempt to create matter out of nothing, so it will never succeed.

Of course, in a world with magic, it is another matter. If a stone is infused with "magic", it makes sense that it will turn into gold, because it is infused with the energy of "magic".

In a world without magic, alchemists accidentally entered the world of "chemistry" amidst constant failures.

Chemistry is the process of fusing several different energies together and transforming them into new energy. It complies with the law of conservation of energy, so it is successful.

Zhang Jingyi said to Gareth, "What a coincidence! I also know some alchemy. We can exchange ideas later."

Gareth: "Huh? You can do it, too?"

Zhang Jingyi: "Yes! But the alchemy I know and you know may be different in direction."

Gareth: “???”

Zhang Jingyi pointed to the beet field and said with a smile: "For example, my alchemy can be used to turn the roots of these beets into sugar cubes."

After that, he pointed to the stone mountain in the distance and said, "I can also combine the stones on that mountain with the sand from the river next to it to form a solid wall."

Gareth: “!”

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "I can also use animal fats to make something called soap, which can be used to wash clothes."

Gareth: "Ah, your alchemy, it's all close to life."

"That's right!" Zhang Jingyi: "All I know are alchemy for daily life. As for making things like 'Enlightenment Potion' and 'Dragon Slaying Potion', I don't know anything about that."

Gareth: "The alchemy you know is the alchemy that our minotaur tribe likes the most."

Tauren love peace, love life, and love nature. Compared to things like "dragon-slaying potions", they prefer to turn beets into sugar and grease into laundry soap.

Gareth's eyes suddenly widened like copper bells: "I...I...want to learn alchemy from you, is that okay?" "Oh, of course." Zhang Jingyi smiled: "In fact, I am preparing to teach you how to make laundry soap with animal fats. If you are also interested, you can come and listen to the class together."

Gareth was delighted: "I am interested, very interested."

Zhang Jingyi: "Well, the class will start in the morning three days later! You guys should get settled first."

The Tauren people have just arrived in your place, so they really need a few days to settle in.

They loved nature and didn't want to cause trouble for the werewolves, so they simply ran into the dense forest and lived next to the cat village.

Zhang Jingyi booked a wooden house for them, but before it was delivered, they had to live in tents.

The Tauren people didn't mind living in tents. They received some relief supplies from Zhang Jingyi and were very happy to be able to guarantee their temporary living...
-
Three days later, early in the morning.

Zhang Jingyi appeared in the square of Girni Town with a large package.

Ace, two nuns, and a dozen believers had already lined up and were waiting to listen to the lecture. The people of the Dark Church were the most dedicated in learning new technologies.

In addition, there were a few werewolves sitting there, but most of them were not interested in doing laundry.

What’s interesting is that there are now a large number of chairs on the open space behind them, and more than twenty minotaurs, both men and women, are sitting on the ground.

They were clearly sitting on the ground, yet they were a head taller than the werewolves and dark believers sitting on the chairs.

A row of cow heads with horns on top and necks stretched out behind are very cute.

Gareth, the chieftain, was among them. He looked no different from an ordinary cow. He stretched his neck and said eagerly, “Washing clothes is such a wonderful thing. We must learn how to make laundry soap!”

Zhang Jingyi reached out and took out a gray-white stone from the package: "Does anyone recognize this?"

"Limestone!" A minotaur raised his hand to answer. After he raised it, he suddenly remembered something, put his hand down, scratched the cow's butt, and then raised it again.

The person next to him: "Oh! That's disgusting, put your hand down."

Zhang Jingyi smiled: "Yes, this is limestone... Next, we use fire to burn it..."

Next, I will omit the 100 million-word process of traditional soap making. Friends who are interested can search it on Baidu.

The werewolves yawned as they watched the chemical reaction. Several of them left the stage early and became glorious truants!
Ace and his dark followers were sitting in chairs, taking notes seriously.

Only the cows were the most enthusiastic. A large group of cows surrounded Zhang Jingyi and watched the chemical reaction taking place in the basin of soapy water from close range.

"Oh, this is really magical alchemy!"

"First, I refine alkali from the stone. I know how to do this. Then, animal fat and alkali are mixed together to form a paste... Is this laundry soap?"

The minotaurs stuck their butts out, each with a look of piety on their face.

"How could this happen?"

"There is no magic power injected into them, so how come they changed?"

"This is a kind of alchemy that can be used without injecting magic power!" Gareth was so surprised that he almost cried out: "Anyone can use alchemy."
