Heavenly Dao Formula

Chapter 396: Insect fruit

On the other side, Xia Fan also got the first batch of insect-catching fruits sent by the Silver Star Tree Boat.

The pick-up location is in the compound of the New Machinery Manufacturing Bureau.

After a simple inspection, the elves of Silver Star received their own payment-a large basket of silver and a dozen boxes of copper coins. Maybe they didn't care about these extraneous things before, but now, these money will become the foundation on which they rely.

Insert an app: Perfectly reproduce the old version of the book-chasing artifact, an interchangeable app-Mimi Reading.

The bureau can directly provide moderately priced grain, cloth, coarse salt, and iron tools, all of which are urgently needed by the boat. After the islanders were taken away by the receptionist, Zhuo Fulan volunteered to stay and instruct the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering on how to use these fruits.

She has decided to integrate into the new world as an example for everyone.

What he saw and heard on the silver star tree, and Jin Xia risked a close battle with the imperial fleet just to rescue more people, all showed that they were completely different from the imperial people.

This trust is worth her contribution.

After finishing the preparatory work, Zhuo Fulan first used a spatula to scrape off the outer hairs of the insect-catching fruit, then drilled a small hole in the exposed shell, and poured the milky white liquid inside into a porcelain bowl.

The liquid looks quite viscous, much thicker than coconut milk.

"The juice of the insect-catching fruit will be affected by the light and become invalid, so it must be used as soon as possible after it is poured out." She introduced as she operated, "Under the condition of standing, its effective time is between one hour and ten hours. The more viscous the posterior is. Of course, if you just catch insects, a few breaths will be enough."

"So you use sunlight to control viscosity?" Mo Yun immediately noticed the key.

"Accurately speaking, any light is fine." Zhuo Fulan spread the mucus on the ends of the two wooden sticks, then put them together and put them in a black box. "Therefore, the holes must be sealed for the unused insect traps. Put it in a dark place."

After just waiting for half an hour, she took out the wooden stick and handed it to Xia Fan.

"You can try to pull it apart, being careful not to touch the sap, it hasn't started to solidify."

After Mo Yun's translation, Xia Fan followed his instructions.

He tugged lightly at first, and the stick did not move.

So he began to increase his strength.

The two ends of the stick were gradually pulled apart, but there were still countless filaments connected to the glue.

It wasn't until almost 50% of the strength was used that the stick was completely divided into two.

This bonding strength is really beyond Xia Fan's expectations.

Mo Yun took the exhibit curiously and looked around, "What happens if someone encounters it?"

"It will be stuck, and it's quite troublesome to handle." Zhuo Fulan replied, "It is especially suitable for bonding living things, wood, porcelain and fur. Metal and crystals are not so effective. When blocking the invasion of the empire, The islanders have also tried to use it as a weapon and trap, but the effect is very mediocre."

Xia Fan could imagine it.

In order to maintain its stickiness, it must be stored in the dark, so it must be used before the battle. At the same time, it will quickly fail due to light, so only in caves, underground and other places will there be a little chance to stay solidified. As a weapon, the limitations are too big.

But as a kind of biological glue, it can be said to be quite qualified.

"Miss Mo, what do you think?" He looked at the person in charge of the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering.

"I have to admit that you have a good eye for picking things." Mo Yun said gratifiedly, "There are golden vines in the front, and insect-catching fruits in the back. Although it is a pity that metal cannot be glued, the specific bonding strength needs further testing, but the machine There should be quite a lot of places to make a game."

"Then let the Silver Star Tree Boat increase the output of the insect-catching fruit." Xia Fan turned to Zhuofan, "What will it look like when the glue fails?"

"Similar to a solid, with a certain degree of hardness, but not as hard as a stone." The latter took a "white stone" from his pocket and placed it in Xia Fan's hand.

Xia Fan squeezed it and found that its surface was smooth, like a common pebble by the river, but with force, it could feel a certain degree of toughness. Considering that this colloid can be freely shaped, can the finished product be used as a component that does not require high strength?

After he asked what he was thinking, Zhuofran did not immediately deny it, but replied with a little regret, "I also asked my father about this. In fact, the islanders also want to use the characteristic of losing stickiness after it solidifies. Real objects such as short bows and knife handles were made, but in the end only jewelry succeeded."

"Why?"

"If the glue accumulates too high or too thick, a situation will occur. The glue on the surface solidifies first, but the inside has not. It has very poor light transmission, so the outer layer will become a kind of sealed container, preventing Complete consolidation of glue."

"That's how it is." Mo Yun thought thoughtfully, "This is equivalent to the object with only a thin shell, which is empty inside, making it difficult to maintain its own strength. It's okay to make jewelry, if it's bowed. It’s easy to break during use."

"It's just okay if it's damaged." Zhuo Fulan smiled bitterly. "The key is that the glue inside will still leak out, and accidents will cause catastrophes, such as sticking clothes and skin together. Then I want to tear it off. , Almost no less than a torture."

Isn't the light...permeable?

Xia Fan was lost in thought.

"Do you have any new ideas?" Mo Yun asked easily. The two had been working together for a long time, and she knew that the problem had already been figured out when she saw Xia Fan's appearance.

"It's not easy to say for the time being." Xia Fan organized the wording, "You should remember ~www.ltnovel.com~ There are actually many kinds of light, right?"

"Did you say what the book is written in principle?" Mo Yun nodded, "Although it is difficult to understand, those words are still remembered-we can only see visible light with the naked eye, and there are many other things we can see outside of visible light. Invisible light... Honestly, it's incredible. It's clearly invisible, and you can still know it exists."

"Isn't qi such a thing? You can't see it, but it can drive it." Xia Fan spread out his hand, "Of course the point is not this. What I want to say is that different types of light have different penetrating powers."

"Uh... Master Xia, Miss Mo, can I ask, what are you discussing?" Zhuo Fulan asked curiously.

Mo Yun repeated Xia Fan's words on the spot.

The elf girl suddenly fell into a sluggishness.

"You can continue." She turned to Xia Fan again, "If I understand correctly, do you want to try those more penetrating invisible light to make the inside of the colloid solidify?"

"This is indeed the idea."

"Interesting." Mo Yun has entered a state of research, as if there is light flickering in his eyes, "If the experiment is successful, it can also prove in disguise what you have heard-there are invisible lights in the world. How do you plan to make them? ?"

"It was originally a difficult thing to do, but during the time I visited Gyeonggi, I stole it from the Privy Council... and picked up a secret book of immortality."

"You mean—Xianshu?"

"Well, the technique name is Jiuyouhuo."

Mo Yun's cold and indifferent expression has completely disappeared, replaced by an eager look.

Xia Fan couldn't help laughing, "I can show it to you, but really... it's not easy to understand."

Suddenly he felt his eyes flash.

Mo Yun grabbed his arm first, then hugged him full of arms.
