After returning to the castle, Roland was still feeling a little emotional. As the saying goes, people shed tears of joy. However, from Hero's cry, Roland did not feel all joy. It was as if she had suppressed too much grievance, pain, and criticism in the past, and finally found an outlet to vent.
In other words, the strength she showed was not because she ignored the pain, but because she suppressed all the negative emotions in her heart. But this was also a normal reaction. Before the upheaval, Hero was just a girl who had just reached adulthood. It was very rare for her to not be destroyed by the torture and still have hope.
The treatment was very successful. Her feet were basically no different from ordinary people. Since he hadn't walked for a long time, it was difficult for him to bend his toes. However, since he could feel this part of his limbs, it meant that his nerves were connected to his spine. After that, as long as he went through rehabilitation training, he would regain the ability to move freely sooner or later.
This treatment also made Roland further confirm Broken Sword's ability, which was to improve the witches' "critical point".
Every witch's ability had its limits. For example, Hummingbird — there were limits to the volume, duration, and degree of weight reduction of the object. Even if one of the conditions was exceeded, the magic power required would increase rapidly, like a jumping index. If the limit was exceeded, the result would be that it could not be achieved. For example, she could not make a mountain as light as a feather, nor could she maintain the effect of weight reduction forever. The reason might be that the magic power needed to do so was probably astronomical.
The same was true for Nana. Regrowing severed limbs was probably far beyond the critical point of her ability. Therefore, although she could recover her exploded fingers, she could not recover her limbs, even with the help of Leaf.
Broken Sword was equivalent to expanding this limit, making things that were impossible before become something that could barely be achieved. And the original method of using magic power, became an ability that could be used many times.
He took out a stack of reports from the drawer and spread them on the table. They were the test records of Vendy's integration of Broken Sword and the other witches.
It could be seen that most of the witches' abilities had been significantly enhanced. The exponential growth was amazing, but the reverse was also very beneficial. For example, the enchanted Dawn I could last from five days to half a month. Before Neverwinter had the ability to generate electricity on a large scale, this improvement was very valuable. After all, as more and more factories were built, electricity for lighting had gradually become the bottleneck of production.
Also, Candlelight's solidified state could be maintained for a longer time under the buff of Broken Sword. This was greatly beneficial to the machine tool's service life and processing level. If it weren't for her ability and there were so many newbies crammed into the factory, it wouldn't be surprising for a dozen boring tools or two or three machines to be scrapped every day.
Apart from that, Soroya, Agatha, Lucia, Paper, and other witches who were active in the production line were also beneficiaries of Broken Sword. The industrial level of Neverwinter was rising too fast. Many of the supporting systems and manpower were not in place. It was only thanks to the witches that the industry did not collapse. Otherwise, with such crude and crude production methods, it would not be news for them to stop work every two days and explode every three days. Now that he had the broken sword, this part was even more stable.
Roland wrote his deduction at the end of the report. It was foreseeable that Broken Sword would become one of the busiest witches in Neverwinter in the future.
In the afternoon, Xiao En walked into his office.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Chemical Industry, Sir Kyle, wants you to go to Lab No. 4. He said that he has some clues about what you asked."
"Oh?" Roland's eyes lit up. "Arrange the itinerary. I'll leave right away."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Accompanied by a team of guards, Roland arrived at Lab No. 4.
With the establishment of the acid plant and the nitration plant, the simple bungalow, which was originally a small workshop, had become a real research site in Neverwinter. These buildings located beside the Redwater River were not only separated by walls, but also equipped with guards and logistics. Even the houses had been redecorated. The outer walls were painted beige, which made them look much more dignified.
Kyle Sichi did not greet him at the door. Only Deputy Minister Chavez stood alone in front of the door, looking a little embarrassed. Roland had long known the temperament of the Chief Alchemist. He waved his hand and went straight into the room.
Kyle was attentively guarding the long table, watching the liquid in the condensing tube drip into a glass. The liquid was as clear as amber, and when he got closer, he could smell a familiar and nostalgic smell. Around it, there were several other glasses, and the liquid inside seemed to be different, from shallow to deep.
Roland could not help but take a deep breath.
He had not smelled the fragrance of gasoline for a long time.
Of course, it was not appropriate to call this crude product gasoline. It was very different from the large-scale car fuel used in the future, but it had the same smell. It was not possible to use it as a stable energy source in a short time.
"Your Majesty," the Chief Alchemist noticed him at this time. He put his hand on his chest and saluted. "You're right. The Blackwater in the Southernmost Region is indeed composed of a variety of liquids. I've done several experiments according to the method in 'Intermediate Chemistry' and found that they can be separated one by one by distillation. But … "he pointed to the glass on the table." If you further separate them, their composition seems to be almost the same. "
"Almost the same is right," Roland said carelessly. These things were all hydrocarbons. If Lucia were to decompose them, they would all end up the same. "Anything else?"
"They can all be burned, and the higher the level, the more violent the liquid will be. For example, this …" he raised the amber glass and shook it. "When ignited, it's like an explosion! Your Majesty, are you going to use it to make more powerful explosives? "
Looking at the excited old alchemist, Roland could not help but chuckle in his heart. When he saw something that could burn, he thought of explosives. He already had the necessary qualities to be a real chemist.
In fact, the Blackwater was a sample taken from the Endless Cape.
From the very beginning, he had suspected that the everlasting underground fire was caused by the eruption of oil wells. The so-called oil was actually a huge family. As the blood of modern industry and the strategic material that determined the direction of the world war, he naturally knew about it. In fact, the difference between the oil collected from the Eastern Continent and the oil collected from the Western Continent was much greater than the color of the skin. It was not wrong to say that they were completely different liquids. Their colors ranged from golden yellow and dark green to black, brownish-red, and even transparent. They were gorgeous and gorgeous. Some could flow like water, some were extremely viscous; some could not be directly ignited, but some could easily burn …
In terms of composition, as long as it was a hydrocarbon composed of hydrogen and carbon, it could be put into the frame of oil after being mixed together.
Therefore, it was not strange that the Blackwater was classified as oil.
