Chapter 161 Alchemy and Chemistry

The principle and structure of the DC generator are very simple. When Roland was a child, he dismantled more than a dozen four-wheel drive motors, from an ordinary whiteboard motor to the legendary Golden Speedmaster, and also wrapped around the rotor copper wire by himself.

These motors are typical DC motors.

There is no difference in structure between DC generators and DC motors. In essence, they are the same thing and their functions can be interchanged.

As long as other machines are allowed to drive the motor rotor to rotate and the wires are continuously cut into the magnetic inductor wire, the energy source will continuously generate induced current.

With the help of My Moon and Anna, Roland only spent half a day assembled a simple DC motor, and the stator part was all made of wood, and then handed over it to My Moon to give it magnetic.

The commutation piece at the end of the rotor is embedded in a piece of log, with holes left in the center of the log, which can be connected to the steam engine shaft.

This structure is convenient for production and ensures mutual insulation between the reversing sheets.

As for the new steam engine, it became him and My Moon watching Anna perform magical processing skills.

When she needed to make large parts, she let the black fire open, wrapped a pile of iron ingots like cloth, melted it, then shrink the black fire, pressed it into a plate that meets the size requirements, and finally cut it into molding.

Just the next day, when Roland was about to go to the backyard of the calcining room to test the generator's effect, the guards brought him great news that the chief alchemist from Chishui City Alchemy Workshop had arrived in the border town, and more than one person came with him.

*******************

Kemostri left very decisively. That afternoon, he took his family and more than a dozen disciples onto the merchant ship to the border town.Unfortunately, Chames refused his invitation after hesitating.

He did not reveal the content of the letter to other alchemists, and the more people he knew, the later he would set off.

Kaimo was worried that the news of the successful firing of crystal glass would soon reach the Duke. If he wanted to leave, it would not be so easy. For such high-profit luxury products, the Duke would definitely want to hold them firmly in his hands.

He has written the glass formula and firing method on parchment paper and stored it in the formula cabinet in the refining room, which is also a reward for the Duke's large amount of money to build an alchemy workshop.

But in the face of the truth of alchemy, neither crystal glass nor alchemy workshop are worth mentioning.

Five days later, Kaimo finally met the owner of the Border Town Lord, Roland Wimbledon, who wrote the letter.

In the castle living room, he had just finished his salute and had not sat firmly on his butt, and couldn't wait to speak: Your Highness, I want to have a good talk with your alchemist.

My alchemist?The other party smiled. Before you came, there was no alchemist in the border town.But now, you are my alchemist.

You mean... those alchemy formulas were written by you yourself?Kaimo directly ignored the second half of his sentence, his face turned pale.

He suddenly thought of another possibility. The other party was a prince, and all the knowledge he received came from the teachings of the court mentor. If he could know all this, wouldn’t the King Capital Alchemy Association have long mastered the essence of alchemy changes?

And I still want to be above them, so it is ridiculous to say it out.

Not exactly, Roland said, these formulas come from ancient books more than 400 years ago, and I discovered them by chance.It seems that hundreds of years ago they called alchemy chemistry.

Chemical?Kaimo felt much better when he heard that the formula did not come from the Royal Capital Alchemy Association, but the answer given by the prince still surprised him.

Alchemy books from more than four hundred years ago?

You should know that the King Capital Alchemy Association has a history of less than two hundred years. Are future generations worse than those of predecessors?

That's right, in the book, those scholars mentioned a hypothesis, which is the theory of immortality of matter.The substances that make up all things in the world will not disappear or increase. They just change from one form to another. For example, this piece of pastry. Roland pointed to the cake on the long table. After you eat it, some of them are absorbed by you and some are excreted from the body. If the absorbed part and the excreted part are added, their mass should be equal.

Wait... Your Highness, Kaimo thought, if I burn a piece of wood into powder, no matter how much I weigh it, the weight after it is burned into powder will be lighter than that of wood.If matter is immortal, where does the part of matter it lacks go?

These are also explained in the book, Roland laughed, and they became gas and water.The water is baked and evaporated by the flame, so in the end you can only see the residue left behind.

gas?Kaimo felt something coming out of his heart. Does the air have weight?

Of course, all matter has mass.The prince nodded. It was very simple to verify this. Put a pile of wood chips into the bottle, cover the mouth of the bottle and place it on the balance, and light the wood chips after balance.Eventually you will find that the weight of the bottle will not change.Because the combustion releases gas cannot run out, it remains in the bottle.

This... is also written in ancient books?Kaimo asked anxiously, can I read that book?

If you can promise me a few conditions, Roland spread his hands.

Please say.

First of all, you have to work for me, and your salary is calculated based on your remuneration when you were in Chishui City Alchemy Square.Second, once you accept the job, you must comply with confidentiality regulations.In other words, the work content shall not be disclosed to other alchemists.Third, if you agree, we will sign the contract.This contract lasts for five years. After five years, you can choose to stay or leave. The results of alchemy are no longer subject to confidentiality regulations and can be displayed to other alchemists or alchemists.Correspondingly, if you accept these three conditions, the Border Town will provide housing and chemistry laboratories.At the same time, I will lend you the book "Elementary Chemistry" to read. If you don't understand, you can ask me.

It doesn't sound like a harsh condition, Kaimo thought, although words like confidentiality regulations and chemical laboratories are really difficult to describe, he can still understand the general meaning.

The five-year contract was not too long. He originally thought the lord would make a request to stay in the border town forever.

And... even the most harsh conditions were, he wanted to witness the book that recorded the essence of alchemy with his own eyes.

Thinking of this, Kaimo stood up and bent down slightly: I am willing to serve you, Your Highness.

Very good, then that's it. The prince doesn't seem to care much about etiquette. Your workplace is by the Chishui River. After signing the contract, I will take you to familiarize yourself with the laboratory and introduce the uses and operating regulations of those glassware.

What made the chief alchemist feel something was wrong, why is His Highness the Prince so skilled in talking about alchemy that even makes people feel confident?

He was just an ordinary nobleman Ah who accidentally came into contact with ancient alchemy books?

But these are all the details. He suppressed his doubts and asked, "I don't know what Your Highness needs me to refine?"

High concentration of acid, the more the better.The prince replied.
