Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 239 Preparation of Sodium Nitrate
The three of them all looked unhappy when they returned to the laboratory. After Wu Xiao took out the nitric acid solution that was delivered back from the space, he went back to catch up on his sleep.

Lu Yuning originally wanted to help Zhang Song get some experimental equipment first, but considering that the process was quite dangerous and he was exhausted, he decided to take a good rest first and not rush.

When Lu Yuning woke up, it was almost afternoon.

After having a simple meal, Lu Yuning was dragged to the chemical laboratory by Zhang Song who came running over in a hurry. It seemed that he was more anxious about making gunpowder than Lu Yuning.

There are a bunch of equipment on the table in the laboratory, but the most eye-catching one is a cylindrical glass cup in the middle. It’s not that it looks strange, but the liquid inside seems to be divided into several parts. However, if you look closely, there is no barrier in the middle of the glass.

In other words, the liquid inside seemed to be forcibly separated by an unknown force.

There are also several tall shelves next to it, and on top of the shelves are several large containers filled with liquid.

It seems like a huge undertaking. It's incredible that these containers filled with liquid on the shelves can be lifted so high. Moreover, these containers are obviously the original liquid, which will be used for mixing later.

So how did these dangerous experimental liquids get mixed together? Lu Yuning couldn't figure it out.

Seeing Lu Yuning's puzzled expression, Zhang Song immediately understood what he was thinking. He said, "These supporting frames were made by a superpower in our organization. His superpower can grow wooden products into a certain shape."

This ability sounded familiar, and Lu Yuning quickly remembered that he seemed to have met a person with similar abilities in the Spark Base before.

This person's abilities seem to be similar, no wonder these racks appear to have no gaps at all, they are actually generated directly by controlling deformation.

"As for these solutions placed in the air, they are my abilities. You will know in a moment." Zhang Song first smiled and kept the secret.

Then he continued to state the purpose of calling Lu Yuning over.

"Actually, because we skip the nitric acid production process, the overall production steps are much simpler. With my ability, I can basically complete most of the process. However, the trouble is that the three materials need to be crushed and remixed. We used to do this by manual pressing, which is very troublesome and inefficient. So I want to see if you have any way to solve the final physical process."

Lu Yuning was stunned for a moment, and finally revealed a meaningful smile. This was really the right person to drink beer and peel peanuts.

Crush and reassemble, that's what I do.

Under Zhang Song's expectant gaze, Lu Yuning waved his hand and said, "Leave it to me."

Zhang Song was extremely happy. It seemed that this mechanical mixing step had troubled him for a long time. However, Lu Yuning was actually more curious about how he mixed all these liquids together.

He soon found out. After making sure everything was ready, Zhang Song walked to the center of the experimental field. He first looked at the large container in the middle that contained a mixture of various liquids. There were some scales on it. Judging from his appearance, he was probably measuring the proportion of a solution.

After confirming that everything was correct, he focused his attention on the container in the middle.

There was already some liquid in the cup, but there didn't seem to be a partition in the middle. Lu Yuning wasn't quite sure why they weren't mixing together.

Under the influence of Zhang Song's special ability, the separated chemical solutions suddenly began to slowly merge together, and the originally red liquid gradually turned into a colorless liquid.

The red color should be NaOH with phenolphthalein indicator. After the alkalinity is eliminated, the color of the reagent disappears.

This means that the neutralization reaction between the two liquids has been completed.

But this wasn't the end of the story. According to Lu Yuning's chemistry knowledge, the liquid should be a sodium nitrate solution mixed with water, but what was ultimately needed was sodium nitrate crystals, a solid form. This involved a complex evaporation and separation process. According to Lu Yuning, a fire should be started to begin the water distillation process, ultimately precipitating the sodium nitrate.

However, there was no ignition material or alcohol lamp nearby.

Obviously, Zhang Song had other ways to refine sodium nitrate into solid form. Sure enough, Zhang Song continued to act.

But the next scene left Lu Yuning stunned.

The mixed solution originally in the container suddenly began to separate automatically, but the liquid on one side became more and more, and the other side was no longer a transparent liquid, but gradually became a light yellow.

As the separation continued, Lu Yuning could already see some white crystals gradually appearing in the container.

In the end, the contents of the container were completely divided into two parts. One part was a transparent liquid, which looked like water.

The other part is all sodium nitrate solid!
magical!

Lu Yuning was a little surprised by Zhang Song's ability. Although he had seen many people with special abilities, Zhang Song's strange ability still made him feel a little unbelievable.

This doesn't seem to be the end. After the crystals are precipitated, the water is useless to them and needs to be drained away, while the crystals can be collected again.

Lu Yuning thought Zhang Song would ask her to go over and help, but she overthought it.

Under Zhang Song's special ability, the water in the container began to gradually change shape, and eventually turned into a long water column, standing tall in the air.

Then, the water column seemed to have life, and it slowly flowed towards the waste water bucket that had been prepared on the side. Finally, as the last drop of water flew into the waste water bucket, the entire process of sodium nitrate crystal precipitation was completed.

Talent!

This Zhang Song is definitely a talent. This ability is not extraordinary but it is almost extraordinary. It seems that he can even control liquids.

Not to mention being used for experiments, if this method of manipulating liquids is used in fighting, it seems to be an incredible ability.

How could such a talented person be bullied by the people from the Blood Hand Settlement?

Lu Yuning suddenly became confused.

But if you think about it, it's understandable. His ability is similar to Wu Xiao's. Although he can throw objects directly at other people's faces, it cannot cause much damage. If the liquid itself is destructive enough, then the power will be incomparable.

No, this person must absorb the faint light no matter what. Not to mention his attainments in chemistry, Lu Yuning has thought of many other ways to use it.

Lu Yuning still had a shocked expression on her face, and she was thinking about how to get Zhang Song to Weiguang.

On the other side, Zhang Song acted as if nothing had happened after he finished all this. He just turned around and looked at Lu Yuning and said, "Yuning, I can't deal with the crystals in here. Is there any way to get them all out?"
