Wizard of science

"What is recorded on it is the method of artificially synthesizing gems?" Bobo Bonas took the scroll handed out by Li He, his eyes flashed, and he opened it without any hesitation.

Browse quickly.

As he browsed, Bobo Bonasnas frowned little by little.

After browsing, Bobo Bonas frowned into a knot.

It's not that the method documented above is too difficult, it's that it's too simple.

With his strength, he only needed to collect all the materials and carefully cast a series of spells to complete it.

"Can rubies be synthesized artificially?" he wondered.

"You can give it a try." Li He said, "Facts will prove everything."

"Okay, come with me, Geller, come too, let's go to my laboratory together. I want to try to see if it's true." Popobonas walked towards the depths of the wooden building.

Soon, a group of three people arrived at a laboratory of hundreds of square meters deep in the wooden building, which contained many instruments and magic materials.

This was the first time Li He entered the wizard's research site, and he looked at it curiously.

Bata balance instrument, magic stone balance, crystal grinder, multi-eye microscopic magnifying glass, flame stone oven...

Most of the instruments are an organic combination of materials and organisms. Under the transformation of magic, they can achieve many functions, which are not inferior to mechanical scientific creations. However, careful comparison shows that it is still less precise and stable than scientific creations.

While Li He was looking at it, Popobonas told Geller to get busy and find a lot of materials according to the records on the scroll.

"Crush!"

Bobo Bonas gave a low shout and cast the spell. Many materials were broken into small particles with a hard sound, and then put into a crystal grinder and ground into powder.

"Separate!"

The spell was cast again, the air shook slightly, and many visible impurities flew out of the powder and fell into the huge glass container next to it - that was the waste collector.

But obviously, one spell cannot separate all the impurities. Next, different powders are put into different containers, various solutions are added, and the mixing reaction is carried out.

Precipitation, filtration, crystallization... step by step under the influence of magic, you will get the corresponding product.

"flame!"

After a while, along with Bobo Bonas's voice, purple-red flames appeared in the laboratory, and many products flew into the flames to react.

Without blinking, Bobo Bonas kept staring at the subtle changes in the many products in the flame. Seeing a ruby ​​that seemed to be slowly taking shape, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Although his face was calm, he could not hide his excitement. .

Finally, more than two hours after entering the laboratory, Bobo Bonas dispersed the flames, and a dark red turbid ruby ​​full of cracks fell from the air and slowly landed in the palm of his hand.

The surface of the ruby ​​was still extremely hot, and when it came into contact with the skin of Bobo Bonas's unprotected hand, plumes of green smoke came out directly, but Bobo Bonas didn't care at all, he checked it repeatedly, and kept saying for a long time. : "It's really possible, it's really possible, it's really possible to synthesize rubies... This is amazing! Who would have thought that natural gems can also be synthesized artificially. It was mentioned in "The Book of Big Rock" that everything is It can be transformed, and it seems like it might be true.”

"Ruby, ruby, if it can be synthesized artificially, then I will have a steady supply of rubies... Then my experimental research will definitely be successful..." Bobo Bonas became more and more excited, but slowly Calm down again.

Holding the ruby ​​in his hand, he looked at Li He and asked: "I believe what you said. Ruby can indeed be synthesized, but... there is one thing. Why is the quality of the synthesis so poor? It is completely different from what you provided me before. Although this Ruby can be used reluctantly, but only by synthesizing high-quality rubies like yours before can it greatly help my experimental research."

"That's because this is the first synthesis, and there are many links that need to be improved and more precise."

"oh?"

"For example, the removal of impurities must be more thorough. For example, the temperature of the flame must be stabilized in a narrow area. The process of synthesizing rubies must comply with a series of regulations. The more it complies, the higher the quality of the ruby ​​obtained." Li He As he spoke, he handed over a second parchment scroll, with many additional requirements densely written on it.

After Bobo Bonas took it, he browsed through it at a much slower speed than before, his eyes a little bright: "No wonder! No wonder! My previous method was too rough, so I couldn't get high-quality rubies. So, we Try again. Geller!"

"Teacher, I'm here!"

"Go to the warehouse and get the materials again."

"yes."

"As for you, my closest friend - Li He." Bobo Bonas looked at Li He and said with some sincerity, "Next, you will guide my work. If you make any mistakes, please tell me directly. , I will work hard to synthesize the highest quality ruby."

"Okay." Li He nodded.

After a while, Geller got the materials and started the synthetic ruby ​​work for the second time.

"Crush!" Popobonas said, shattering as before.

"Separate!"

"Remove impurities, add black lead solution and Berners solution..." Bobobonas directed his student Geller, adding liquid to the powder placed in the container to remove impurities.

"No, these two solutions must be added separately, and the copper solution and the flocculent solution should be separated in between." Li He stopped.

Geller was stunned and looked at his teacher.

Bobo Bonas looked at Li He in confusion and asked: "Why?"

"Black lead solution and Berners solution will have a very weak reaction, which is not visible on the surface, but will produce trace amounts of impurities, which will affect the subsequent processes and will be difficult to remove," Li He said. A series of names such as black lead solution and Berners solution are all corresponding scientific chemical reagents, but they are just names in the wizarding world. He is very clear about the reactions between them.

After hearing this, Bobo Bonas subconsciously retorted: "How can there be a reaction between black lead solution and Bernas solution? I have conducted so much research, if there is really a reaction..."

"If there really is a reaction..." Halfway through, Bobo Bonas suddenly realized something and fell into thinking, "If there is really a reaction... If there is really a reaction! Well, if there is really a reaction, Being able to produce subtle reactants can explain the reasons for those failed experiments."

"You know a lot, boy!" Bobo Bonas looked at Li He as if meeting him for the first time, "You have more comprehensive knowledge than I do. I seem to have made a great friend."

"you flatter me."

"You are being too modest. Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's continue."

"good."

The synthesis work continues.

"...After mixing, add the Black Sol solution and the Pubai solution..."

"...Don't filter, add Snow Iron solution first..."

During the process, Bobo Bonas’s questioning voice and Li Hyuk’s explanation voice occasionally sounded.

"Why do you need to add excess Prind solution? Wouldn't this generate new impurities..."

"It is easier to remove impurities produced by excess solution than impurities produced by insufficient solution..."

"But if it's too much...well, okay, I understand, let's continue..."

As the progress continued to advance, Bobo Bonas looked at Li He with an increasingly strange expression, and he hesitated to speak several times.

Geller, under the command of Bobo Bonas and Li He, continued to operate specific procedures, his expression gradually became numb, and he was in shock. What happened today was too challenging to his cognitive limits.

Can gemstones be synthesized artificially? Li He is an apprentice, can he guide the wizard? Moreover, it seems that the guidance is correct?

This... this world is too crazy!
