Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 139 Bio-Colonization Suit
"what happened?"

Roy put the "Shrinkage" spell book into the space ring, walked out, and found that Gold had already come to the door.

Atidiya was guarding the outer door and turned around to look.

Roy waved his hand.

Compared to reading, what he is more concerned about now is undoubtedly the mercury mine that Gold mentioned.

Gold walked in: "Sir, the workers discovered some unusual red ore during the mining process and reported it to me.

After identification, I confirmed that it was cinnabar, which can be used as raw material for refining mercury.

I remember that when you were arranging matters concerning the quarry, you specifically mentioned that we should be careful about this kind of thing."

"Indeed." Roy nodded with satisfaction. "Do you have a sample? Let me take a look."

"Here you go." Gold anticipated Roy's needs and took out the sample.

Roy took a look and found that they were rhombohedral and short columnar, with visible twin crystals running through them, and their color was bright vermilion.

"It's cinnabar crystal of relatively high purity."

This is a mineral material that can be used to extract mercury and has played an important role in the history of the development of alchemy.

And this kind of thing is also a common visitor in the alchemy furnace.

"What a great thing! Find some Centaurs and mine it for me..."

As for the refining after mining, let me think about it, issuing a task to refine mercury...

Calculate based on the time and energy spent, and give 100 magic stones per month!
See if there is anyone who knows this and is willing to work part-time.”

After Roy finished looking at it, he handed the sample back to Gold.

Not long after, Andov, Winter and others arrived and learned about this matter.

“How can I put it, this job is simple, but it takes up a lot of time and energy.

I'll forget it, it's more cost-effective to go out hunting or perform some combat missions."

"I'd like to do that, but I won't."

Finally, Olinda stepped forward and said, "I know a little bit about this. I've tried various methods to refine mercury before."

Roy nodded in satisfaction.

Olinda used to be his personal trainer and was good at magic gunpowder.

Cinnabar is somewhat related to it, so it's not surprising that you know how to handle it.

Olinda took the opportunity to speak: "By the way, can you replace the reward with blood mercury? How about 100 ml per month?"

Roy refused indifferently: "I told you before that 3 magic stones can be exchanged for 1 ml. After joining the team, it will be counted as 2 magic stones for you, and you can only get 50 ml per month.

And the mercury production, I'll check.

It’s difficult to set a quota for now, but we must ensure both quality and quantity, and deliver on time, in order to complete the mission.”

"Okay then." Olinda understood Roy well, so she had to give up bargaining.

Roy said to everyone, "You should have heard that I know how to refine blood mercury.

From now on, if you need to strengthen your Great Knight, you can come to me.

Team members are all charged a friendly price of 2 magic stones per milliliter.

But it cannot be resold.

I will remember the amount each of you uses. The limit is 5000 ml, and once it is used up, 4 magic stones will be restored."

Everyone just supported and praised it.

Roy then said to Gold, "Make sure Olinda has sufficient supplies of fuel and other supplies, and provide good logistical support."

Gold quickly bowed and said, "Yes."

……

In the next few days, Roy paid special attention to Olinda.

She has already instructed the craftsmen to build a simple refining furnace.

Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar, is a naturally occurring mineral form of mercury sulfide. Since ancient times, alchemists and alchemists have used cinnabar to extract mercury.

The method is also relatively simple, which is to crush the cinnabar ore into powder, mix it with coke powder in a certain proportion, and put it into a porcelain pot or furnace for calcination.

Then, just collect the liquid mercury that condenses from the mercury vapor.

If impurities are mixed in this process, they can be purified by distillation or other methods.

However, under high temperature conditions, cinnabar decomposes into mercury vapor and sulfur gas, which are extremely toxic.

With Knightland's craftsmanship and education level, they may not be able to do such a simple job well.

Don’t even think about gas masks or anything like that.

Gold whispered to Roy, "Sir, let the workers in Skatu do this kind of thing.

If something happens and someone dies, they die, and we can just replace them with another batch."

Roy said: "Such unnecessary casualties are unnecessary.

And through these things, I distribute my resources and find various ways to provide job opportunities for team members.

They need all kinds of resources, but I can’t give them away for free.”

Gold heard this and muttered to himself, "That's really too expensive!"

……

A few days passed quickly and the first batch of mercury refined by Olinda was delivered.

Roy immediately gave the order, asking the magical alchemy props to complete the preliminary preparations.

At this time, the "Portable Small Alchemy Laboratory" once again demonstrated its great convenience.

Needless to say, functions such as automatic dust removal, cleaning, ventilation, etc. can all be completed by relying on the witch array.

Except for the beaker that talks a lot, most of the alchemical tools inside are honest, reliable and mature tools.

Although the main development direction is "Potion Science", these basic operations that even apprentices can do well are more than enough to cope with it.

With them, it is basically equivalent to "apprentice-level alchemy operation automation"!

Roy dozed off for a while in the small study in the partitioned room, using the book on "Shrinking Objects" as a pillow. He came back to check and nodded with satisfaction.

Then the refining of blood mercury began.

To date, this thing is still a very important alchemical product among the many items he has refined.

It was completed quickly and with ease.

Then he put it aside, held his chin in his hand and thought about something else.

"I also need to consider the bio-suit and skin armor...

This can effectively improve combat effectiveness.”

In fact, he had already thought about this in the past few days.

As an alchemist in the wizarding world, I definitely need some armor for my body.

However, ordinary armor may not be stronger than one's own body, and may be inconvenient to wear.

In addition, the materialization of mental power that can take effect effectively with just a thought makes it completely immune to most mortal methods.

There are no special vulnerable parts on my body that require special protection.

Therefore, the main thing to be wary of is the spellcaster, or the opponent who is also a formal wizard.

“Actually, the Equis Stone is enough for battle.

But there is never a fear of having too much armor.

I also need some daily protective measures..."

Roy pondered and thought of the colonial suit.

This is technology from the Arcane Empire, a close-fitting armor similar to artificial skin!

The artificial skin I was thinking about before can finally come in handy!
