Chapter 224 We Will Work Hard

No one knows that in the basement of the Cathedral of Light in Sunshine City, a scientific research project is being carried out without sleep or food.

The three top alchemists began to work hard on researching how to make "clockwork iron".

“Add a little iron, a little tin, a little copper… Add a little mouse whisker, bat wings, cicada wings, pangolin scales, dog feces… Stir… Stir…”

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the entire Cathedral of Light almost jumped up...

Black smoke billowed out of the basement.

Since there were no windows, the black smoke could only rush out through the corridors and ventilation ducts, filling the entire interior of the cathedral. People ran out of every room, coughing and running towards the open space outside.

"what happened?"

"Shit! Why was there an explosion?"

"What is this strange smell?"

“This smells like shit.”

“Who’s making bombs out of dog shit?”

The entire Cathedral of Light was filled with smoke.

Even the Golden Cardinal was shocked out. He lived in a room on the third floor of the church. The thick smoke from the basement did not rush into his room, but there was thick smoke downstairs and he could not understand the situation. At first glance, he thought there was a fire downstairs.

The fire downstairs was not a good thing for the residents on the third floor. Soon the fire spread upstairs and he would end up being burned to death.

The golden cardinal acted decisively, opened the window and jumped down.

Throw out a [True Word. Shield] in mid-air.

There was a loud bang when he landed on the ground, and a crater was smashed into the ground. His shield was blown apart by the impact and shattered into pieces. The golden-robed archbishop was not injured, but his fat body was unstable and he rolled several times. When he got up, he was covered in dust and even his golden robe was covered in mud.

"Damn it, what happened?" the golden-robed archbishop asked angrily, "Who set fire to the church?"

"Report to the Archbishop, the alchemists are causing trouble."

The golden-robed archbishop was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "This... well, alchemists are always like this... where are they?"

"All three alchemists were seriously injured in the explosion."

A team of Temple Knights rushed into the smoking basement and carried out three seriously injured alchemists.

The Golden Cardinal originally wanted to get angry, but when he saw that the perpetrator was seriously injured, he felt it was too embarrassing to get angry. They were also working for the Holy See and working so hard on research that they ended up exploding and getting injured. Forget it, forget it, he won't get angry anymore.

He chanted a healing spell, [Group Healing], and a golden light enveloped the alchemists. The three alchemists opened their eyes and climbed up.

"Ah, thank you Archbishop for saving us."

The Golden Archbishop originally wanted to ask about the research progress of "clockwork iron", but seeing that there were many people around, many of whom were ordinary believers, he felt it was not appropriate to ask. After all, copying other people's technology was not a fair thing.

He changed the subject and said, "It seems that it is not appropriate for you to study here. Go find a quieter place outside the city to study alchemy."

The three alchemists said: "But if we explode here, we will be able to get treatment as soon as possible. In the quiet places outside the city, there won't be priests who can treat us at any time."

The golden-robed archbishop finally got angry: "Then you have to blow it up downstairs of my house, right?"

Three alchemists: "..." Glass got out of the crowd and said, "Three, I will accompany you to a quiet place outside the city to do research. If anything happens, I can heal you."

"Hallelujah, praise the Holy Light."

The three alchemists no longer had to worry...

Glass led them out of the city, and when they reached a deserted place, he asked, "Is the research on clockwork iron so difficult? Can't you use [Detection Magic] to find out its basic elemental composition, and then refine it through element reduction methods?"

After hearing what he said, the alchemist knew that Glass also knew a little about alchemy and was truly a knowledgeable priest.

"We used detection magic to detect the clockwork iron." An alchemist said, "But... we encountered a little difficulty."

Glass: “?”

Alchemist: "Inside the iron there are elements of which we have never known, for which we have no name, no understanding, and no precise character."

He was actually referring to several uncommon metals on the periodic table, such as manganese, which were not well understood in this era.

But alchemists have been able to detect its existence among a large number of impurities through element detection!

But there is an insurmountable gap between knowing its existence and using it.

Just like everyone knows about black holes, but what exactly are black holes and what is inside them, no one is still in the dark. Scientists' analysis of black holes is basically all speculation, and there is no real evidence.

Glass frowned. "Lack of understanding? What can I do?"

Alchemist: "So we try to add all kinds of strange things into it to see if we can activate these unknown elements and react with them."

Glass: “So it exploded?”

"Ok!"

"Uh..." Glass roughly understood. It seems that this matter is not that simple. It cannot be completed in a few days or a month. God knows how long this experiment will take. Maybe it will take half a year, maybe a year, maybe forever...

Glass: "Is there no other metal that can be used to replace the iron of the clockwork spring?"

"Yes." An alchemist showed a strange smile on his face: "Mithril! It is very hard and tough. If you forge mithril into the shape of a spring, you may be able to achieve the same elastic effect."

Glass: "Are you crazy? You use mithril to make the clockwork. How much do you plan to sell the pump for? One pump can buy an entire town."

Alchemist: "Or, you can use Arcanite."

Glass: "Are you planning to upgrade from a town to a city?"

Alchemist: “…”

Well, the alchemist had to shut up.

Keep researching!
Anyway, the original intention of alchemy was to turn stone into gold.

Now the Holy See requires them to transform ordinary iron into mithril or arcanite, which is normal and is also an extended application of alchemy.

Having said that, although alchemy has been around for thousands of years, no one has yet been able to truly turn stone into gold.

The alchemist spread his hands and said, "We will try our best, but we may not succeed."
