Chapter 580 There Is No Good Thing in the Family
A relatively empty stone room, a simple test bench, some alchemy equipment and a few chairs, this is Tang En's own laboratory. After playing with something similar to a test tube crystal bottle for a few times, Tang En pulled up two chairs and smiled at Matthewman, who was standing aside and looked a little embarrassed: "Haha, it's really simple. Mr. Ma, please sit down." "
"Thank you." After thanking him hurriedly, Matthewman, who had just been appointed as Tang En's assistant, sat on the chair and rubbed his hands. He looked at the surroundings and said hesitantly, "Actually... this has been settled."
"Huh?" Tang En couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this. Although he had no real contact with the alchemy field, don't forget that he bought Lina an alchemy device when he was in Laiyan City. Any one of them would cost at least a few dollars. It's around a thousand gold coins, and there's no discount. So, compare these original equipment in front of you that are obviously not worth much... They are not on the same level at all!
Matthewman seemed to have guessed what Tang En was thinking, and shook his head helplessly: "The conditions here are incomparable to those in Bran. It is not easy to have a dedicated laboratory here..."
After a pause and a look at Tang En, Matthewman couldn't help but feel more certain about his previous choice, and then said, "But fortunately, as long as the level is high enough, the materials here can be used at will. Well, according to you, Arthur Level...should be no problem, right?"
This was considered a test, to test Tang En's general status in the craftsman's office, and to judge whether his choice was right or wrong. After all, the previous royal guards, His Highness's carriage, etc. represented a high level of significance, but they were too far away from here. The so-called county officials are not as good as the current ones. That's the truth.
However, it is obvious that Matthewman's cautious test is destined to be useless, because Tang En was thrown here by Lansha. For a while, I didn't know how much authority I had. I honestly spread my hands and said, "I don't know if there is a problem. Well, is the transparent crystal high level? I need that thing."
"Uh..." Matthewman was stunned when he heard this, and then he patted his head knowing that he had asked a stupid question. The other party was obviously his first time at the Craftsman's Institute, how could he know the level. Then he suppressed a hint of regret in his heart. He replied, "Transparent crystal? Oh, it's the associated crystal mine. There's no problem. I can get it now."
"Ha, that's perfect of course... Mr. Ma also studies ores?"
"It's not really research, it's just a lot of contact." Matthewman smiled bitterly. "There are too few people here in Beihuang who know alchemy knowledge, so people from various research subjects often call each other to help. For example, I am just a metal alchemist, but over the years, I can even prepare some simple potions .”
This is to catch young men... Tang En laughed and shook his head, and then told his request for the crystal ore he needed. Quite simply, the purer the better.
Watching Matthewman nod and leave, Tang En's eyes flashed slightly. Of course he knew the other party's purpose, but he didn't care. He needs a helper. The other party needs his protection. Both sides get what they need, that's fair.
After these thoughts passed away in a flash. Tang En frowned, thinking about how to remove the unknown poison from his body.
In the past few days, Tang En was not completely enjoying himself eating and drinking. After observing secretly, he found that the level of surveillance in the surrounding area was actually very low. Except for the hundreds of guards at the stone tower, there was no one watching at all. Of course this was not due to Lansha's carelessness, it only meant that she was very confident in the poison that was administered to Tang En.
This is indeed the case. With Tang En's current abnormal physique, not only is he immune to all poisons, but he has never seen anyone trapped by poison before. But now the poison was like maggots on the tarsal bones, sitting quietly in the meridians and bones of his body. No matter how much blood washed away again and again, it remained unmoving and extremely tenacious.
But fortunately, this poison should be a chronic poison, and I haven't seen it break out once in so many days. And judging from the fact that Lan Sha has not shown up since entering the city, the poison will not kill him in a short time...
Thinking of this, Tang En touched his chin, smacked his lips and murmured: "Tsk, let's find a way to meet that girl first. I don't expect to get the antidote, but at least I have to say something. But before that... ..." He looked up and looked at the place where the small explosion had just occurred. "That's where the poison is brewed. There should be some information on this."
…
Soon after, Matthewman obtained a large amount of associated crystal mine, which was moved into the laboratory by several apprentices in black robes.
Most of these apprentices are ten-year-old children from the Northern Wilderness. Different from ordinary barbarians who are a little bit brainless, they are all quite clever and everyone can speak Bran's language. Although it is a bit stiff, it is obvious that they have been specially trained. .
From this point, we can also see a little bit of the ambition of the Queen of the Northern Wilderness. Although all these apprentices can do now is to make a living, when decades pass and Matthewman, the alchemists mostly from Bran, grow old, this craftsman's office will be a pure Northern Wilderness grown up by them. People control.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Tang En. Thinking of the Queen of the Northern Wilderness, apart from a little admiration, his heart was full of slander... tmd, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked! The old one plays chess badly and has a bad character. Little Lansha was very cunning, and Tang En also remembered the man named Tiwu. Wasn't he the mad general who once surrounded and suppressed him? In short, there is nothing good about this one!
While constantly cursing, Tang En observed these complete or broken associated crystal mines, and the corners of his mouth could not help but gradually rise.
The situation was much better than he expected, and he didn't know whether it was due to the influence of the otherworldly environment. The crystal mines here were naturally very pure, and some of them even contained no impurities, so there was no need for secondary processing at all.
"Look at it this way, you only need to polish the concave lens lens... Well, polishing is a problem, but relying on blood energy, it should be able to remove surface burrs to the greatest extent... There is also the lens power, oh, I forgot to ask that girl how short-sighted she is. Forget it... Forget it, I don't know if I ask her, just make a few more pairs of glasses by then... The biggest problem now is the focal length. How to calculate the formula? Oh, isn't this embarrassing for a third-rate student like me? ! But I should be able to come up with a model using system analysis. I just need to keep revising it in the real world..."
Squatting next to the crystal mine, Tang En kept mumbling nervously, which made Matthewman and several apprentices who were studying with his subordinates dumbfounded, and their heads were filled with questions.
polishing? focal length? Jiaodu... what the hell is this!
Bang bang, clapped his hands, and found that the problem was not big, Tang En stood up with satisfaction, shook his head and said with emotion: "It's too backward. If there are optical lenses, everything will be solved."
"Uh, Arthur, what are optical lenses...?" Matthewman asked weakly at first, then patted his chest and promised, "Describe the appearance, and I will send someone to find it for you."
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then he laughed and waved his hands and said: "Haha, forget it, Mr. Ma, it's really hard to find this thing in the Northern Wilderness. Just have something that can replace it."
"Oh, then tell me, what should we do?"
Tang En chuckled, knowing that Matthewman was eager to show that he wanted to get closer to him, so he didn't point it out. He gestured politely and said: "Then I'll bother Ma Lao. Well, let's pick out some crystal mines first. As long as the purest , without a trace of impurity. Then cut them into small pieces, each about this size..."
The explanation was quickly completed. Although Matthewman and the apprentices did not know the meaning of Tang En's actions, they still cooperated and started working together.
Tang En thought that Matthewman and the others would have a hard time doing this work. After all, crystal ore is also very hard. For ordinary people, if it is smashed directly without violent means, it would be a very patient job.
But in fact, after Matthewman and the others found a few transparent knives, they could easily pierce the crystal ore and slowly separate it. The success rate of removing the fine lines caused by uneven force was about half and half, and soon the prototypes of circular lenses were produced.
After questioning, Tang En learned that the transparent knife was called a mining knife, and it was an alchemy item. Its function was to split most common ores as painlessly as possible. Of course, it can be seen from the name that this is a special tool. If it is used as a weapon, it will be easily broken.
Tang En saw that he didn't need any help at all, so he greeted Matthewman and became the shopkeeper. He walked out of the laboratory, looked around, and walked openly to the place where the poison was prepared...
