Magus Tech

Chapter 6 Extracting "magic substances"

Richard did not listen to what Edward said, and appeared in the room of the independent laboratory.

What I saw was a wide room with an area of ​​more than 50 square meters. The walls were painted with white snow. There were several black walnut tables on the middle ground, which looked like an operating table. The body of the python that came in.

Around the table, there are many wooden stands, some of which have various instruments, experimental materials, knives, etc., and others are instruments themselves.Most of them are far beyond the current level of technological development in this world. It was Richard who made a lot of effort to make it.

To put it simply, the room in which Richard is now has a technological level that exceeds that of the entire era by more than three hundred years, and the scientific thinking contained therein is more than seven or eight centuries.

Narrowing his eyes, Richard stepped towards a wooden frame.There is a handle on the side of the wooden frame, there is a nozzle under the handle, followed by a wooden barrel.

Richard stretched his hand over the handle and put it under the nozzle. After a short wait, a colorless and transparent liquid with a pungent odor flowed out of the nozzle and onto his hand.

This is 75% alcohol, which can act as a disinfectant. Li Cha scrubs each finger carefully to ensure that everything is cleaned, closes the nozzle, and flicks the palm a few times, waiting for the residual alcohol Completely evaporated, and walked towards another wooden frame.

From above, a set of knives that had been sterilized by alcohol was taken out and came to the wooden table with the python.

At this time, Richard's eyes fell on the body of the python, and he carefully observed this strange creature that could burn flames all over his body.

"The proportion of the head is relatively small." Li Cha measured the python's head with his hand.After opening her mouth, she looked at the slender fangs and said, "Non-toxic, the kiss ends are flat."

"There are three pairs of lip sockets." Li Cha's eyes fell on the part of the python that resembled the upper lip of humans, and saw three pairs of depressions, knowing that this is a special structure of the python, similar to an infrared sensor.It can allow pythons to detect the warm-blooded animals in the surrounding environment at night, determine the accurate location of the animals, and track and attack.

"Tan." Richard's gaze withdrew from the head of the python, and then fell to the entire body of the python, as well as the back. "The back is yellowish, with arrow-shaped markings, and a lot of irregular cloud-shaped markings."

"The abdomen is white." With a slight effort, the whole python was turned over, and Richard looked down at the lower body part, which is the excretory cavity of the python, and then saw a pair of protrusions, "There are also a pair of degenerate claw-like stumps. ."

"In this way, it is similar to the Burmese Python on modern earth, and it is probably a close relative." Li Cha finished his observation and said to himself, the data about the Burmese Python quickly passed through his mind:

Burmese pythons, also known as Burmese rock pythons, viper snakes, and double-banded anacondas, scientific name: Pythonbivittatus, snake suborder Anaconda python is one of the subspecies of Asian rock python, the third largest python on modern earth.Known for its huge size, it can reach 7 meters in length and weigh up to 91 kilograms, and the world’s longest Burmese python is 9.75 meters...

"7 meters? 9.75 meters?" Licha Nian yelled, looking at the table but more than 3 meters long python. If you think about it, "If you are really close relatives, you should not be an adult now. But if you are not an adult, just It can emit a flame of up to 1500 ℃, what effect will it be in adulthood? Hey, it really is a magical demon creature."

At the next moment, Richard took a deep breath and grabbed a knife that had been prepared for a long time, stab it at the body of the python.With a "poo" sound, the sharp blade easily cut the skin of the python, and with a slight effort, it was easily drawn downwards, and the entire body of the python was cut open, so that everything inside appeared in front of the eyes.

Reaching through the internal organs, Li Cha narrowed his eyes.

According to the description of many entertainment novels on modern earth, a magical creature like the current python should have a "crystal nucleus" and "magic crystal" in its body to provide energy for the release of spells.

From a scientific point of view, since a python can burn flames all over the body, there must be more special organs or glands than other pythons.

But these were not found by Richard.

Li Cha frowned slightly, and finally looked at the python skin.He remembers clearly that the snake skin that he touched in the package of the liar and the wizard had temperature. Obviously, there was something special in the snake skin.

As soon as his lips sipped, he held the knife and drew it down, quickly separating the python skin from the flesh, and soon Richard got a complete python skin.

Soak the python skin, and after a long time of cooking, the surface of the water floats a thick yellow material like a grease.

"this is……"

Richard, without hesitation, quickly picked up the yellow substance, took an iron pan from a wooden stand next to it, and put it in it to try to light it.

With a puff, I saw an orange flame rise in the air and the air warmed up instantly, but the iron pan showed no signs of being reddish.Looking at the slowly decreasing yellow matter in the iron pan, Li Cha was somewhat enlightened.

"This substance with python skin can penetrate from the scales to the outside, and then burn to generate a high-temperature flame for attack. While burning, a large amount of heat is taken away by the vaporization of the liquid to ensure that the body surface is at a low temperature. Without being burned.

This is similar to the magic of a "burnt handkerchief"-soak the cotton cloth with alcohol before the magic show, and then light it with fire.Because the water on the handkerchief absorbs heat, the temperature of the handkerchief is lower than the ignition point of the cotton cloth, so until the flame is extinguished after the alcohol is burned, the cotton cloth is also intact..."

"If you say that..." Li Cha's eyes lit up. "The so-called magic substance should be in it. If the water, grease and impurities are filtered out, then the pure magic substance should be left."

"that……"

Richard didn't talk about it anymore, but started quickly.

Remove all yellow oily substances, put them in a jar, and start to distill.

Richard did it in person, naturally faster than the unqualified ponytail maid outside.

It didn't take long for Richard to distill out the excess water in the golden grease-like substance, separate the grease and the remaining impurities, and finally got a small bottle of golden-colored liquid that looked like melted gold.

"Is it a real magic substance?" Li Cha looked at the golden liquid and squinted into a slit, feeling that some of the answers he was looking for could be solved.

At the next moment, Richard quickly disinfected and washed his hands with alcohol, picked up the liquid in the bottle and strode out of the laboratory.

At this time, several hours had passed, and it was already dark.

Outside the door, Edward was still waiting, watching Licha come out and opened his mouth to prepare to continue to persuade.

Richard, however, waved his hand and said, "Edward, you have someone clean my laboratory and then guard the gate of the palace. I have important things to do now, and no one is allowed to disturb me. I don’t eat dinner anymore. The situation will wait until tomorrow."

"amount……"

After finishing his speech, Richard stepped towards the side of the hall, quickly climbed the second floor along the wooden stairs, entered his bedroom and the connected study, and slammed the door shut.
