The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 1155
[Chapter 1155 Distillation Completed]
At this time, Lin Tian had already put the necessary things in his own courtyard. Lin Tian was afraid that if he distilled in a closed room like a room,
he would be in danger if something unexpected happened, so he decided to prepare for distillation outside the room.
Originally, Chen Huifang liked to stick to Lin Tian’s side. Although Lin Tian was busy looking for materials for making gunpowder these days, Chen Huifang still followed Lin Tian. Only when she couldn’t walk anymore, Chen Huifang returned to her room to rest.
At this time, Chen Huifang saw the things Lin Tian prepared and saw Lin Tian’s excited expression, so she seemed very curious and prepared to watch from the side.
“Don’t stand so close, if there is any accident in the middle, I’m afraid I will be in danger and have no chance to take care of you. If you are disfigured, you will become a big clown face.”
Lin Tian said to Chen Huifang, reminding her not to get so close. Because sulfur is corrosive to a certain extent, even if a person’s skin is contaminated with some, it may peel off, so Lin Tian reminded Chen Huifang.
After Chen Huifang heard Lin Tian’s words, her heart tightened, but she was not nervous about being hurt, but about what Lin Tian said, and Lin Tian himself might be in danger.
“Brother Lin, you have to be careful.” Chen Huifang showed a worried look on her face, and she said to Lin Tian with concern.
“Okay, I will pay attention. Now you can leave here. If you really want to watch, you can sit in that pavilion and watch from a distance. Remember not to get close to here.”
Lin Tian heard the meaning of Chen Huifang’s words, so he walked in front of Chen Huifang, touched Chen Huifang’s head, and at the same time opened his mouth to instruct Chen Huifang again.
After hearing what Lin Tian said, Chen Huifang also nodded slightly to Lin Tian, then walked under the pavilion and sat down.
Although Chen Huifang left, her eyes were always here, always on Lin Tian, fearing that Lin Tian would leave her sight.
After seeing Chen Huifang leave, Lin Tian was ready to start distillation. Lin Tian first cleaned the simple distillation device made by the blacksmith.
Then Lin Tian put the sulfur ore into the water to dissolve it for a while. After stirring it thoroughly, Lin Tian carefully poured the water containing the dissolved sulfur ore into the distillation device.
During this process, a lot of smoke appeared on the sulfur ore. Lin Tian smelled a pungent smell, but Lin Tian still held his breath and proceeded very carefully without stopping.
After pouring so much water containing dissolved sulfur ore into the distillation device, Lin Tian lit some firewood to heat the distillation device. Then, Lin Tian added cold water, the so-called coolant, to a container above the distillation device.
After Lin Tian did all this, he stood aside and watched the distillation device to make sure it was normal.
When Lin Tian saw some yellow solids appear under the skill cooling container, he knew that he had succeeded, so he wanted to jump up excitedly, because these yellow solids were sulfur.
Chen Huifang saw Lin Tian’s excitement and wanted to come over, but thought of what Lin Tian had said before, so she stopped again, stood in the pavilion, and looked in the direction of Lin Tian.
Although Lin Tian was very excited, he did not forget what he was doing, so he continued to dissolve the yellow sulfur ore and then continued to add it to the distillation device.
At the same time, Lin Tian also replaced the cold water in the cooling container above the distillation device from time to time to achieve a better cooling effect. Tomorrow, he would heat the distillation device, that is, continue to dig and fill the heating device with firewood.
So Lin Tian was busy throughout the whole process, and he was busy here and there, and it lasted for two or three hours.
After two or three hours, Lin Tian saw that the last water that dissolved the sulfur ore was distilled dry, so Lin Tian also extinguished the heating of the distillation device and took out the burning firewood.
Then, today, he poured some cold water on the firewood, extinguished the fire, and put it aside to dry and wait for later use.
Because charcoal is needed to make gunpowder later, and now the unburned wood is extinguished with water and then dried to be the best charcoal.
After Lin Tian finished all these, he wanted to take out the distilled sulfur with excitement. Lin Tian carefully took down the cooling device and turned it upside down on the ground.
At this time, Lin Tian saw that the bottom of the cooling device, which looked like a pot, was covered with yellow solid matter, which was the so-called sulfur.
So Lin Tian seemed particularly happy, and then took out some bamboo tubes and prepared to use them to temporarily hold the sulfur.
Chen Huifang saw that Lin Tian had extinguished the burning firewood in the distillation device, so Chen Huifang also came from the pavilion and came behind Lin Tian.
“Brother Lin, is this what you need? Why does it look so strange?”
When Chen Huifang saw the sulfur, she spoke to Lin Tian.
“Yes, this is sulfur, which is highly corrosive and can burn people’s skin. You must not touch it.”
After hearing Chen Huifang’s words, Lin Tian did not turn his head to look at Chen Huifang, but continued his actions, scraping the sulfur on it with a bamboo piece and then putting it in the bamboo tube.
When Lin Tian had scraped all the sulfur, he reported it in front of his eyes, looked at it happily, and then covered it with the other half of the lid.
Today, he had been busy for four or five hours, and now he had no mood to go get saltpeter, so Lin Tian and Chen Huifang simply cleaned up the distillation device in the yard, and then went to eat.
After a good night’s rest, Lin Tian got up early the next day, and then ate a little breakfast with excitement, and then prepared to get saltpeter.
Because Lin Tian was afraid that it would disappear and be difficult to preserve, he did not take it down from the wall after he found it. Instead, he planned to take the saltpeter when he needed it.
But now that Lin Tian has obtained sulfur, he can make gunpowder and get saltpeter.
Lin Tian took the small bamboo piece from yesterday again, and then took another clean bamboo tube, and came to the room where he found the saltpeter before. Lin Tian carefully scraped the saltpeter powder on the wall.
