Alien Knights

Chapter 18: curse

   canteen, library, dormitory, three points and one line, this was originally Todd's life trajectory when he was in college in the previous world, but now it has reappeared dramatically in another world.

   Wake up at 6 in the morning, the boy wearing a monk's uniform, sneaking open the door, confirming that there is no one in the corridor, he went to the monk library to study theological scriptures and literary rhetoric.

   Someone might say that since Master Myris has left without saying goodbye, these courses are no longer necessary.

   However, Todd chose to study by himself, which was actually a decision made after careful consideration. Generally speaking, there are two important reasons: First, to survive in another world as a monk, and to learn necessary scriptures is the foundation of communication and evangelism; Second, to appear regularly in the field of vision of other people is also helpful Lower the suspicion of others.

   After lunch at noon, the afternoon is Todd's lab time. For him, just taking over this laboratory, the most important task currently is to organize materials.

   Apart from the specimens and plants, the nearly 100 kinds of minerals and materials remaining in the laboratory cabinets urgently need to be identified and labeled.

   Due to the lack of identification equipment on hand, the "X-ray identification method" and the "polarized electron identification method" commonly used in the modern world cannot be carried out at all. The only real thing that can be done is the "visual observation method" and the simple "chemical analysis method".

The so-called "eye observation method" is to observe the color, streaks, transparency, gloss, and light reflection of the remaining minerals in the laboratory. This method can identify the first minerals, such as cinnabar, malachite, and Magnetite, azurite, etc.

   Then prepare some primary chemical reagents, such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, in order to use the "chemical analysis method" to identify minerals with similar appearance characteristics by different manifestations of chemical reactions. For example, calcite and dolomite are indistinguishable from the appearance. Only after dropping dilute hydrochloric acid, the difference can be seen through the intensity of gas generation.

   Finally, seal up the deteriorated, worthless, and unidentifiable mineral bottles and put them in a wooden box in the laboratory.

   It only took Todd nearly half a month for the deployment of these basic reagents and the identification and classification of nearly a hundred minerals.

   Just when the apprentice was about to start preparing for the next step, Huggins found him.

   "We are in trouble."

   Hearing these words, Todd realized that the rare few days of peace and stability were over.

  —————————

   On the way to the smelter, Huggins briefly introduced Todd.

   About two days ago, a craftsman who completed the refining work returned home. When I fell asleep at night, I suddenly woke up from my dream, first with severe abdominal cramps, then began to twitch all over, foaming at the mouth, and finally lost consciousness and became a walking dead that could only breathe and couldn't speak.

   An experienced old man, after learning about this incident, claimed that he had seen this kind of thing several times, and it was a "gift from the devil." The explanation is this. The ores mined in the ground are close to the residence of the devil. When they are burned and refined, the demons in the ores will be awakened and devour human souls. The only solution is to find the priest in the church and purify the ore with divine power.

   Hudgens rejected the proposal without even thinking about it. What a joke, how could it be possible for the church people to know the equipment and technology for refining silver!

   At that time, while threatening with words and lure with silver coins at the same time, the man spent a lot of effort and finally suppressed the matter temporarily.

   But the good times were not long. It was only two days and one night since the last accident. Another craftsman was "cursed", with the same symptoms and the same situation.

   Now, all the craftsmen and apprentices are reluctant to continue working, and no amount of money can change their minds. Everyone said that they would either find a priest or stop work indefinitely.

   Huggins had no choice but to find Todd with the mentality to give it a try.

   The boy nodded as he listened, and he had a general judgment in his mind.

   When they arrived at the smelting site, many people were afraid of the "devil's curse" and chose to sabotage and evacuate. The remaining craftsmen and apprentices were less than one-third of the beginning. Even those who stay behind, no one is willing to get close to the pile of slag. The tools were scattered all over the floor, and the solidified solution could still be seen in the soot-blowing furnace.

   "My lord..." Aiden saw Todd, and he was the first to come up, hesitated.

   The monk motioned to him to stay calm, and began to look around the smelting field.

   After looking at the raw materials, furnace body, water source, and waste liquid one by one, they asked someone to ask about two sick craftsmen to take on the job and the specific location.

   After completing these investigations, Todd frowned and came to Aiden: "What's the matter with the waste liquid tank under the ashes?"

"what?"

The boy squatted down and looked sideways at the lead water waste tank designed by himself. The solids dominated by lead water exceeded half of the tank, and the drain hole at the top end was tightly blocked by rocks and other debris. .

   "I said before that every time a smelting is performed, the waste liquid underground must be diverted out."

   Aiden scratched his head: "Perhaps some apprentice was lazy and forgot about it."

   "Making a fool! How can such a thing be forgotten?!"

   The monk's sudden anger, UU reading www.uukanshu.com shocked everyone present.

   Little Jerry, who was standing next to him, shrank back, found a small tree, and tried to hide his body.

   looked at the surprised expressions of everyone, and realized that his tone of voice just now was exactly the same as the teacher in the laboratory who scolded the students. Todd hurriedly slowed down his speech, lowered his tone, and said in a language that fits his own identity: "Every bit of dedication to Heavenly Father, every bit, maybe something we see is unintentional, but it is a testament to our virtue. ."

   Aiden held the cross on his chest, lowered his head, and said lowly: "Heavenly Father is up."

Todd has already concluded the "Devil's Curse" incident. In the final analysis, the lead liquid during the "ash blowing silver" was not discharged in time. The high temperature caused the lead water to evaporate, forming toxic lead vapor, which caused the craftsman’s " Acute lead poisoning. But this kind of explanation is completely unconvincing to people in the Middle Ages. Once it is said, even oneself will be immediately arrested as a heresy.

   This matter must be dealt with in a proper way.

While thinking about countermeasures, the monk continued to explain to the craftsmen and apprentices: "Every link in the refining process is a ceremony for the heavenly Father to protect the believers. Any omission or carelessness may cause the devil to take advantage of the void. "

   Obviously, the sudden realization and deep conviction on everyone's faces made Todd realize what should be done next.

   The rudiments of the countermeasures are gradually formed in his mind, but first, he needs to go back to the laboratory to prepare some things.

   Todd crossed his chest and said to the craftsmen and apprentices: "Please tell the people who have been cursed, I will personally remove the curse for them this evening, and destroy the devil!"
