"No, no, no. That's not what I meant. The earth will be affected by this force, but the movement isn't limited to falling. I'll talk about this in the future, but you just have to have this concept first.
To put it simply, when the earth moves, it will form all sorts of situations. For example, a protruding mountain range, turning the ocean into a plain, razing the mountain range to the ground, and so on. Of course, this takes a long time and is measured in tens of thousands of years.
"One of them is that the ocean becomes a plain or a mountain, and the seawater is swallowed underground before it can evaporate. After countless years, some changes occur and are finally discovered by humans," Ren Baqian said.
"Teacher, do you mean that this place was originally an ocean?" Shi Gan asked. Ren Baqian's words were too surprising.
This was the inland of Dayao, and one had to travel thousands of kilometers to reach the seaside. This place was originally an ocean? Didn't that mean that Dayao and the Yun Nation were originally located in the ocean?
"That's possible, but it's just a guess. We still have to see the composition of the black water in this pool to know." Ren Baqian nodded.
Everyone was speechless at first, then asked, "Then? Is this what we are trying to prove? "
"Then, you should know that salt is obtained from seawater …" As soon as Ren Baqian said this, everyone was shocked and asked, "Salt can be produced here?"
Dayao was short of salt, and even children knew this. Most of the salt had to be transported from other countries. If salt could be produced here, it would mean something. Most of these children knew what it meant.
"That depends on the composition of the water here." Ren Baqian didn't say too much, but the light lick just now proved that there was salt in the water. They just needed to see if they could produce edible well salt.
"How do we know what the composition of the water is?" everyone asked.
"What's chemistry used for? It's used to analyze, transform, and extract substances. However, you are still very far from here. I'm here to bring you on an outing. "Ren Baqian laughed.
He then asked Na Gu, "Has this place ever dried up?"
"I don't know." Na Gu was a little confused. She didn't understand most of what these people said just now, but she felt that it was very impressive.
"Bring me the rope," Ren Baqian shouted behind him. He wanted to test the depth of the pool.
Soon, he tied a head-sized stone to one end of the rope and threw it into the water. With a splash, a lot of water splashed.
Other than the rock, there were no signs of life in the pool.
"Sir, it has stopped." The guard lowered the rope for about five meters before.
"Find a branch and push the rope forward. Try to make it land in the center and test a few more places." After Ren Baqian gave his instructions, a student ran off to find a branch.
Although Ren Baqian wasn't too sure about it, the possibility of producing salt made them all excited.
If he could really do it, it would be a huge thing.
If that was possible, it, it, it would be a big deal..
After completing these calculations, Ren Baqian took notes. Following which, he wanted to go to the mountain stream with the light brown water.
"In the direction they are going, it will take them a day to get there. It will take us at least a day and a half to get there," Na Gu said.
Ren Baqian calculated the time. It seemed that he had to return to Earth first before going there.
Everyone went back. Along the way, they heard the sound of small animals and the guards went to look for them. After all, mosquito legs were still meat. There wasn't much food in the village, and it was best to eat some themselves.
After returning to the village, Ren Baqian arranged for half of the guards to build houses and the other half to go hunting.
At night, Ren Baqian woke Lin Qiaole up. "I'm going to rub a hearthstone. Do you want to watch?"
Ren Baqian felt that he had to tell Lin Qiaole. Otherwise, she would go crazy when she woke up and realized that he was gone. Although this girl was silly, she could be quite honest sometimes.
"What's a hearthstone?" Lin Qiaole forced her eyes open and looked confused.
Ren Baqian was speechless.
"Anyway, I'm going to leave for a day. Don't worry," Ren Baqian said.
"No, Her Majesty asked me to protect you." Lin Qiaole finally woke up.
"The place I'm going to is a national secret. Her Majesty knows about it. Just wait here." Ren Baqian waved his hand. He took a bottle of water from the Black Pool and walked to a corner of the room. With the thought of going back, he disappeared in an instant.
At the moment when he disappeared, Lin Qiaole felt a slight fluctuation in the air. Her eyes lit up, and she pounced at him like a lioness. However, she pounced on empty air, and all she caught was air.
"Eh?!" Lin Qiaole was slightly surprised. She reached out and grabbed the air again, but there was still nothing.
"Where is he? That's amazing. Her Majesty asked me to protect him. If he dies somewhere else, you won't blame me, right? Oh … He still owes me candy … "Lin Qiaole muttered to herself. She leaned against the wall and sat down. She stared at the place where Ren Baqian disappeared and couldn't open her eyes for a few minutes.
After returning to Earth, Ren Baqian first contacted Yang Sen to arrange a laboratory. He then rushed to Shanghai with the bottle.
Even if he found someone else, they would find out anyway. He might as well let them test it and save himself some trouble.
Seeing that Ren Baqian had brought a bottle of water, Yang Sen was excited. After half a day, the test results came out. Yang Sen was astonished and asked, "Is this brine?"
"What are the ingredients in it?" Ren Baqian asked. Yang Sen immediately handed the results to him.
Ren Baqian glanced at it and saw a bunch of Na, K, Ca, Mg, Li, Br, I, Cl -, SO (2-), 4, CO3-, B2O3, HCO3, and so on.
4, CO3-, B2O3, HCO3, and so on. He couldn't even remember what most of them were.
He reckoned that his chemistry teacher's coffin was about to explode again.
"What are these?" Ren Baqian decided to ask shamelessly.
Yang Sen was speechless.
"Get a researcher here to explain to Mr. Ren." Yang Sen immediately connected the internal call. Ren Baqian asked him, but who could he ask?
It was someone from the research lab who asked that question just now.
Not long after, a cold-looking, bespectacled young man came up and gave the two of them a good lesson.
The final conclusion was that these were the ingredients of the black brine. There was nothing special about it and it was a waste of their time to bring it to the research lab.
"There's nothing else in it?" Ren Baqian felt a little strange. After all, it was a product of another world. There should be some differences, right? Even if the soil that was brought over previously contained many microorganisms that weren't found on Earth.
"Although there are some, they aren't very valuable. Those microorganisms can only give us a little more understanding of the ecology of the target world. The other components aren't much different from the black brine and don't match our expectations. Simply put, this is the black brine of another world, "the young man said as he pushed up his glasses.
Ren Baqian secretly gave him a thumbs up after he left. He knew the truth and was worthy of being from the research lab.
He was indeed different from a dabbler like Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian laughed and didn't mind. After all, not everything from the other world was useful.
"How's your training going?" Ren Baqian asked curiously. He wanted to know about the progress of the basic martial arts manual.
"The time is too short and we haven't seen much progress," Yang Sen said simply. There was nothing to hide about this.
Ren Baqian nodded. It seemed that the content of the early stage was basically like this. He had to at least reach the Man Wheel level and transform his blood and qi into essence before he could get what he wanted.
"What's worth noting is the hurdle of transforming blood and qi into essence. Many people are stuck at this threshold," Ren Baqian reminded them.
"We also noticed this problem. Although each of the books was vague, we also discovered this point after verifying it with the four books. Why don't you explain to us what we need to pay attention to and what are the key points of each stage? "Yang Sen suggested.
Ren Baqian spread his hands and said, "I can't help you with this. My martial arts manual is different from these and I don't know much about them. "
"Oh?" Yang Sen's eyes lit up. He understood something from Ren Baqian's words.
"In other words, there are many types of cultivation methods?"
Ren Baqian thought for a moment, nodded his head, and said, "You can say that. However, there are some that require a specific group of people to cultivate. What I brought over is the most suitable for you."
The aboriginals were different from Great Xia's.
Ren Baqian's [Ruyi Visualization] was also different from Great Xia's. If it wasn't like this, he wouldn't be able to cultivate it.
Yang Sen nodded his head and didn't mention anything about providing them with martial arts manuals for reference.
After all, these four martial arts manuals were already invaluable to Earth.
If they were too greedy, it would be easy to make the other party feel disgusted, especially since they hadn't found anything that the other party needed. The other party wasn't someone who would selflessly contribute in the name of righteousness.
They could only find an opportunity to make a request when the cooperation between the two parties improved.
Ren Baqian left the laboratory. Before returning to Shicheng, he asked Shen Feng to prepare the information on how to boil black brine into salt.
Since he already knew the composition of the black brine, he was relieved. There weren't any twists and turns that he had expected. It was solved very easily.
Although he was a little disappointed, he had to admit that this was the best outcome.
Previously, he had already looked up some information. Even if only black brine was used, salt could be produced. However, it would take a little more time.
After a long period of boiling, the substances with sulfuric acid in the water could be turned into monomer crystals. Then, these substances could be dissolved in the water by splashing water. As salt dissolves slower in water, it would be left behind.
Ren Baqian could imagine how big of a sensation this news would cause when it reached the imperial court.
No matter how much manpower and material resources they had to use, Dayao wouldn't let go of this opportunity.
They would have complete control over the salt in their hands.
He could also go back and prepare the historical records that said, "The great pioneer, scientist, and educator, Ren Baqian, led 24 idle disciples to research the production method of well salt on Nine Peaks Mountain. This solved the problem of salt shortage since the founding of Dayao."
His only regret was that the solution was too simple. There were no twists and turns. Even when he wrote it, it was plain and not attractive enough. It didn't show the soul-stirring and touching feeling that he had finally obtained the method of making salt after going through eighty-one difficulties.
Think about it. The seven Calabash Brothers went through untold hardships to head to the castle, defeat Snow White and her seven saint warriors, and rescue the little match girl. This experience was enough to write a soul-stirring novel.
The other story was about the Lich King slapping the little match girl and Snow White to death in the castle and capturing the seven dwarfs to lead a shameless life. Which one was more attractive?
