Chapter 236 Chemical Accident

When Roland rushed to the laboratory next to the Chishui River, he found that the damage was not as serious as he had imagined. At least the main room used for refining acid was undamaged, while two pieces of window glass in the side room were shattered. August 1 ((中)

"Lord Lord, please save our mentor! He is seriously injured and is about to die."

Seeing Roland appear, a group of disciples immediately surrounded him, but were quickly stopped by the guards. Roland waved his hand to signal everyone not to be anxious, "Where is he? Let me see first." Then he turned his head and asked Carter in a low voice, "Where's Nana?"

"I have already sent someone to invite them, and it is estimated that they will arrive soon."

"Um."

Roland nodded, and entered the laboratory under the protection of his personal guards.

Kymer Struer was lying on the ground, with a little blood on the ground, extending to the side. It was probably dragged from the accident site to the main house. His face was blurred, and blood and pus were mixed together, which should be caused by the strong acid splashed by the explosion. On the hand, several fingers were missing, and white phalanges could be seen through the flesh and blood.

The apprentices have already done emergency treatment, and it can be seen that they have encountered similar things in Chishui City, leading people out of danger, bandaging to stop bleeding, seeking help... These measures are quite in place. However, if this kind of injury is usually treated with herbal medicine and self-healing methods, there is a high probability that it is hopeless.

Roland ordered the guards to guard the door, waiting for Nana's arrival, while he and Carter walked into the side room, trying to retrieve the finger of the chief alchemist. Otherwise, even if the little girl healed his injuries, he would not be able to carry out chemical experiments again—this would definitely be a huge loss for Border Town.

"It's like being swept away by a strong wind," Carter pinched his nose and said, "There is also an unpleasant smell."

"That's the smell of nitrogen dioxide." Roland scanned the small room for a week, the windows were all open, the possibility of poisoning is not high, at most it's just some residue. The glass bottle on the test bench was broken, and the acid water flowed down the table, forming water spots on the ground.

"Remember to use tools when searching, and don't touch them directly with your hands," the prince reminded, "There are gloves in the cabinet."

Since Soraya's ability evolved, he also sent more than a dozen pairs of anti-corrosion thin gloves to the laboratory, but seeing the current miserable state of the alchemist, it is obvious that the experiment was carried out without wearing gloves. If he was wearing gloves, even if the explosion blew off his finger, at least it could keep the severed finger inside.

In the locker above the test bench, something caught Roland's attention. After he took down the strangely shaped bottle, he realized that it turned out to be white wine sold in a convenience market—and the wine in it had been drunk a lot, leaving only a small half of the bottle.

Kaimo actually brought baijiu into the laboratory? It's hard to imagine an experienced master alchemist drinking while experimenting!

"Your Highness, Miss Nana is here," the personal guard reported.

"Well, continue to guard the door, and don't let the apprentices enter," leaving Carter to continue searching for his severed finger in a pile of glass shards, and Roland went back to the main room of the laboratory first.

"Is it him?" For Nana, this level of treatment is already commonplace. Compared with the little girl who was too scared to see blood and fainted when she encountered a horrible wound, she has grown up now. A lot—both ability and courage.

"Let's heal the corrosion wound on his face first," Roland nodded. "Carter is looking for his broken finger, and you can connect it later."

"No need," Nana smiled triumphantly, "I can directly heal this kind of minor injury now."

Roland was stunned, and saw that she put her hands on the alchemist's chest and closed her eyes. Kaimo's injury immediately changed—the face healed in a short while, and the severed finger began to stretch out , that is, the speed is much slower. First the bones, then the flesh, and finally the nails and hair. It took about a quarter of an hour for his fingers to fully recover.

At this moment, Carter also came out from the side room, ""Your Highness, only three fingers were found, and one severed finger may have been blown to pieces—eh? "

"When will you be able to do this?" Roland asked in surprise.

"About a week ago, when I was training with chickens, I realized that it would grow slowly without amputating limbs, as long as I poured enough magic power into it." She stuck out her tongue, "I probably remembered what you said—people Every part of the body is made of cells, and there must be cell loss in the broken place. Since the magic power can make up for these losses, why can't the whole limb be made up? Then I tried to do so .”

"Can any part grow?"

Nana shook her head, "This method is too labor-intensive. It's okay if you have long fingers. If it's an arm or a calf, I can't do anything. After all, the magic power I can hold is far less than Sister Anna."

That's because you're underage, Roland thought to himself. In addition, is this a manifestation of ability evolution, or is it because of training that the current magic power is enough to achieve effects that were not possible before? Without Nightingale, it is impossible to judge whether Nana's magic power has changed in form. If it is only because of the increase in magic power, then the little girl's performance when she becomes an adult is definitely expected.

"Your Highness, he's awake." Carter said.

"What's wrong with me?" Kaimo frowned, first looked at his intact hands, and then touched his face, "I shouldn't—"

"You should have died from serious injuries in a chemical accident, but the witch saved your life. The person next to me is the one who rescued you, Miss Nana Pyne." Roland decided to tell Nana's identity directly. The chief alchemist, a person who can rush to Border Town for a chemical reaction formula, should not be a stubborn person. Even if he hates witches in his heart, he will not drop his work and report to the church. In addition, now that there are more Lucias in the town, it will be a matter of time before the alchemist and the witch cooperate.

"My God, you mean this witch can heal the wounds caused by alchemy—no, chemical experiments?" Unexpectedly, Kaimo's reaction was quite different from what he thought, "Hahaha, this is really great Your Highness, so Once I come here, I can test my reactions as much as I want without worrying about danger!"

"So what happened?" Roland breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Why did you bring liquor into the laboratory?"

"No, Your Highness, that's just an experimental item," the chief alchemist said excitedly, "I made what you asked me to try out!"

"You mean... mercury fulminate?"

"Yes, Your Highness! The missing reactant turned out to be alcohol!" He said in a breath, "Before that, I tried dozens of raw materials without any progress. When I was bored, I went to the market to buy some wine to drink, and suddenly remembered It was mentioned in "Elementary Chemistry" that alcohol is an organic solvent, and it is also a necessary raw material for some reactions. So I distilled and purified liquor as a new reagent and tested it, and it succeeded the sixth time... in several test tubes. I noticed the precipitation of gray crystals. I also recorded the heating time and reaction temperature at that time, and took some of them out for testing, and the characteristics were the same as what you said - off-white needle-like crystals or powder, extremely sensitive and irritable. Just in When I tried to filter out the precipitate in the remaining few test tubes, the test tube suddenly exploded."

So that's the case, Roland now recalled that mercury fulminate was formed by mixing mercury and ethanol in excess nitric acid, or directly reacting mercury with ethanol with nitrate *.

"Good job." He patted Kyle Streeer on the shoulder. "This achievement is enough for you to get the highest honor and a generous reward in Border Town."

In this way, the percussive primer with fixed bullets finally took shape. (To be continued.)
