Alien Knights

Chapter 21: worship

   Strand after strand of hair, accompanied by the clicking sound of the scissors, fell from the top of the head.

   There is no mirror and no one to help. Todd can only groping the top of his head with his blistering hand while carefully trimming his hair.

   Looking at the curly yellow hair on his hands that was burned by the heat, and feeling the throbbing pain from the burn blisters on his skin, the monk remembered the fire the night before, and couldn't help but fought a cold war from the depths of his body.

   is too risky!

   will never do something like this again next time!

   However, from the perspective of the effect, a performance that was carefully planned yesterday can be regarded as concealed from everyone, and successfully solved the crisis of lead poisoning. Otherwise, one's important source of experimental funding will become nothing.

   Speaking of the various visions in those exorcism rituals, it looks creepy and sounds thrilling, but in fact it is just some basic chemical reaction. In the previous life, those middle and high school students can easily do it in the laboratory.

The reddish-brown "blood" on burlap, paper and the roof is the reaction of ferric chloride solution and sodium hydroxide to produce ferric hydroxide solution (red-brown) and sodium chloride.

Todd originally wanted to use ferric chloride solution to react with potassium thiocyanide to produce ferric thiocyanate dichloride (blood red) for real results, but the preparation of thiocyanate compounds required the use of ammonia (1909 For the invention, Fritz Haber won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry), and the production of the latter is extremely difficult and impossible under the existing conditions of a different world. So the next best thing is to use sodium hydroxide. Fortunately, it was dim and no one noticed the difference in color.

   The explosion in the room used black powder, but slightly changed the chemical mixing ratio, ensuring strong sound and light effects and low killing effects. The detonation mechanism of the gunpowder uses the "sulfuric acid blasting method", inspired by the land mines of the previous anti-Japanese war. A piece of wax paper was placed on the explosive, and a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid were dripped on the wax paper. Any shaking will cause sulfuric acid to drip into the explosive, which in turn will cause a chain explosion.

   As for the "Sky Fire" that ignited all over the body, although the effect looked cool, it almost killed him.

   This was originally Todd's idea on a whim. It came from a jar of fibrous silicate minerals placed in the laboratory.

   There is also a common name for this mineral-"asbestos".

   The large monk clothes and the dark environment provide the best cover. The thick fiber asbestos sewn inside the clothes blocks high temperatures and flames, and can also play a role in explosion protection. Even so, when the flame ignited, Todd was worried that a lot of salt was hidden on his sleeves, and when he raised his head high, he sprinkled it on his body, lowering the surface temperature of the flame and restraining the spread of the fire on his body. speed.

   The last and most thrilling scene was how to survive the fire after others escaped from the hut.

   The principle is actually very simple. Todd prepared a number of wooden barrels in advance and separated them into two layers. One layer was filled with vinegar and wax powder, and the other layer was filled with sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). When the flame is approaching, as long as the wooden tube is smashed under the foot, a large amount of carbon dioxide and foam will be produced, which can play a role of extinguishing and blocking.

   As for the scenes where the burlap soars and the demon screams, they are just simpler magic tricks, not to mention.

   For the two artisans of "Acute Lead Poisoning".

   After the exorcism, Todd prepared a solution of 1% sodium sulfate, lavage the stomach for the two, expelling insoluble lead sulfate from their bodies, and supplemented with egg white and goat milk for conditioning. Now, the patient has regained consciousness, but the body is still permanently damaged.

   Therefore, the monk simply threw some of the production safety regulations of the previous life to Huggins, craftsmen and apprentices, and strictly ordered them to abide by them. Judging from their solemn expressions, such an accident shouldn't happen again.

  咚咚咚.

   There was a knock on the door of the laboratory.

   Todd put down the scissors in his hand and blinked suspiciously.

   In this hidden place, only Huggins, Edgar and Jerry will come on weekdays, but no matter whether it is any of these three people, they always push the door directly. How can there be a knock on the door?

   yelled to come in, the door was opened a crack, and the little kid, Edgar, stuck his head in.

   looked at Todd with a serious face, and whispered: "Mr. Todd, you better come out and take a look..."

What does    call me? ! gentlemen? !

   The boy whose name was called, glanced at Edgar speechlessly, and said in his heart, when did you guys learn to use polite language? In the past, I called Todd when I was in a good mood, and when I was in a bad mood, I called you directly.

   Follow Edgar through the underground corridor, to the ground cemetery, and then through the main hall of the cathedral to the front hall of the monastery where the guests are received.

   Todd was surprised by the increasingly noisy voices.

  The Monastery of San Sidlo is in a remote location, and there are always very few visitors.

   Ascended the steps of the front hall, Todd took a breath of surprise at the sight in front of him.

  The small hall was crowded with people coming from all directions. Everyone looked at the inner courtyard of the monastery with a look of expectation and excitement. Outside the hall, there was a hustle and bustle of traffic, conversations, prayers, and cries one after another, and carts and cattle had already blocked the small square strictly.

  The disciple with sharp eyes saw Todd approaching the hall and shouted: "Look! Look! The son is out!"

   Suddenly, hundreds of eyes turned to the direction of the monk apprentice. People bent their knees and knelt on the ground. Some prayed for supreme protection, some asked for forgiveness from the gods, and some asked the Son to exorcise the demon.

 The believers outside the door who learned of Todd's appearance desperately tried to squeeze forward. The people standing close even wanted to climb over the railings, touch the body of the Son, and get blessings from God, and the scene began to become chaotic.

Just when Todd was at a loss, Hudgens came to him, first shrugged helplessly to the monk, and then assumed the role of the front office order officer, commanding several people, and driving the worshippers into one. Straight line.

For a whole afternoon, the boy sat on a gorgeous chair that he didn’t know where he got from, with a stiff smile on his face. He didn’t know how many believers he had pacified with a patterned prayer, and he didn’t know how to accept his feet. How many kisses ~www.readwn.com~ The sun is slanting west, and the afterglow is fading.

   When Todd heard someone shouting in his ear, "Today is late, please come back," his nose sore, and tears almost fell.

   The monk couldn't wait to get up, but found that his lower body was numb and unconscious. Finally, with the support of Hudgens and Jerry, he entered the backyard with strength.

   After eating the food and water that the man handed over, Todd found a clean open space without any image, and while gorging himself, he asked others: "How come there are so many people?!"

   glanced at Edgar and Jerry, who were standing upright beside him, and Huggins sat beside Todd with a smile, and said in a mocking tone: "You don't know?! You are famous!"

   "Famous?"

   "Your story of exorcism has been spread. Yesterday some believers came to the gate of the monastery, hoping to worship the Son, but today there are more people."

   Todd widened his eyes, swallowed the food in his mouth desperately, took another sip of water and said, "Believers? Adoration? Son?"

   "With the power of one person to force out the devil, when the exorcism fails, he is not afraid of danger, in order not to hurt the innocent, he is willing to sacrifice himself, die in the fire and be reborn. You can tell, you are not too much of the Son?"

   sat there, speechless for a long while.

   Todd knew that the exorcism would have a big impact, but he didn't expect such a big battle.

   stood up and patted the dust on his body. Huggins watched the sky slowly dimmed, and said to him, "When you finish eating, we set out to meet someone."

"Who?"

   The man turned his head, looked at the distant fire, and said calmly: "A member of our alien family, today is the day she returns..."
