"Depend on!"
Looking at the exploding medicine next to him, Fang Zheng couldn't help but curse. Then he sighed helplessly and threw the fragments on the table into the trash can next to him.
This period of time was a free time for Fang Zheng. Nanali was performing alchemical processing on the slime's skin and body fluids according to his orders. Fang Zheng also had nothing to do and wanted to learn some alchemical techniques, so he also started studying in this area.
But... the progress was not as smooth as learning magic.
If in Fang Zheng's eyes, learning magic is like a programmer typing code, then alchemy is more like an organic combination of material physics and chemistry. The essence of the alchemist's skills is to focus on studying the material nature of an object, and to enhance, modify and transform it. It is a means of making it constant and effective through enchantment, forging, strengthening and other means.
Coding is Fang Zheng's specialty, but physics materials and chemistry have nothing to do with him. Now Fang Zheng is almost blind and basically has to start from scratch... What? You asked him where the physics and chemistry he learned as a student went?
I will return it to the teacher after graduation!
"It seems that I really don't have the talent to be a scientific researcher. I'd better be a programmer."
Looking at the broken potion bottle in front of him, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders. He had made it according to the "patented formula" provided by the Alchemist Association, and had strictly followed the instructions for each step, but it still exploded. As for where the problem was, Fang Zheng himself was not sure.
Fang Zheng only had some talent in alchemy enchantment. He had also done some work in game hardware design, so he had some experience in etching magic circles and connecting energy. Although Fang Zheng's speed was not fast, his accuracy was 100%... The reason was naturally very simple.
After all, future vision can help him skip most of the mistakes.
On the contrary, Nymph...
"It's done, Master!"
"Good job, come and have some cake."
Seeing Nymph smiling and holding up the potion bottle to present the treasure in front of him, Fang Zheng reached out and stroked her little head. Then he reached out and took out a piece of cake. Seeing the cake in Fang Zheng's hand, the little angel cheered, then took a bite of the cake covered with cream, then squinted his eyes and revealed a happy expression.
Unlike Fang Zheng, Nymph seemed to be able to easily master this subject that required extremely high precision. Fang Zheng had also considered this. The little girl could not use magic, but if she could learn alchemy, then she could protect her own safety to a certain extent.
Because alchemists in this world also have combat power, they can simulate the effects of spells by combining various potions, and can even create various enchanted equipment to protect themselves and destroy enemies. The little angel has no problem in assisting, but is really weak in combat power, only slightly stronger than the entry-level professionals in the main world.
It would be a good thing if alchemy could make up for this shortcoming.
Nymph herself was very clear about this, so she practiced alchemy day after day without sleep. Although Fang Zheng knew that artificial angels did not need to eat or sleep, he felt distressed to see the little angel studying like this every day. The only thing Fang Zheng could do was to provide the little angel with her favorite sweets as a reward.
"How's it going?"
Fang Zheng asked casually while drinking black tea, and Nymph nodded while eating cake.
"We are making rapid progress, Master. Miss Nunnally has already figured out the technology to alchemically process the skin of slimes. As long as we can use the alchemy of this world to achieve the data effect in the Iron-Blooded World, there will be no problem at all. As for the research on fertilizers, I have found a formula to strengthen the ingredients of the drug. Once it is confirmed to be OK after testing, it can be submitted. The problem now is..."
“Is the production insufficient?”
Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows. Slime is neither easy nor difficult to find. After all, it is a wild monster in the wild. But just like wild boars, its production is unstable. As for Fang Zheng, he would rather set up a slime farm like a modern pig farm.
"Leave it to me."
Anyway, Fang Zheng didn't seem to have much talent for alchemy, so he could handle the rest. Of course, this would require a large sum of money, but for Fang Zheng, money was not a problem. After all, he had received so many commissions from the Death Exchange, and the bounties for each were quite generous, so it would be a pity not to spend them.
As for what to do when the money is all gone? Just go kill more. There are so many evil people in the world waiting for justice. As a Templar, how could Fang Zheng turn a blind eye to them?
There are so many people suffering in the world. Can he still live with his conscience while enjoying himself alone?
All this is for the sake of freedom and justice!
While thinking this, Fang Zheng left the workshop and walked to the bottom of the hill. Looking around, he could see a huge semicircular, translucent tent standing there. When Fang Zheng walked into the tent, the first thing he saw was a cultivated farmland and several farmers holding farm tools and chatting nearby. Seeing Fang Zheng coming, the leading man immediately turned around with a smile and greeted Fang Zheng.
"Hey, little brother, you're here."
"Let me take a look, Uncle Hank."
Looking at the man in front of him, Fang Zheng smiled and nodded.
"How is it going?"
"Very good! Hey, where did you get this fertilizer stuff? I've been farming all my life, but this is the first time I've seen it grow so fast... You know what, I never thought that using such a big greenhouse would allow people to farm in winter!"
After harvesting the slime's "materials", Fang Zheng asked Nanali and Nymph to build a greenhouse similar to the one on Earth in the Iron Blood World. Then he found a piece of land and hired people to try farming. After all, Fang Zheng had grown up in the city in his previous life, and he was not familiar with farming, so he had to hire a professional for this kind of thing.
Of course, the farmers in the village didn't take Fang Zheng's request seriously at first, but money is everything these days, and Fang Zheng threw out a few gold coins, and they immediately accepted the commission. Just like Nanali said, in the winter when the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, the farmers have nothing to do. Those who are willing to take risks go into the mountains to hunt, and those who are not willing to take risks just live as salted fish. Now that they can get money and do farm work that they are good at, these farmers will naturally not refuse.
At first, the farmers didn't care much about the "greenhouse" built by Nanali, but it's no wonder. According to Uncle Hank, since Nanali took over the workshop, it has exploded every few days. Sometimes people come to ask her to help repair farm tools, but when they bring them back after the repairs, they find that they have become completely different things and they have no idea how to use them.
Because of this, after a few times, no one came to Nanali for commissions anymore. Only when they were sick or injured occasionally would they go to her to buy a bottle of potion or something. This is also the reason why Nanali's workshop business is so bleak.
This time they originally thought that this strange big tent was one of Nunnally's weird inventions, but...
"It's amazing, bro! Do you have this thing for sale? Give me one too! Oh, and I want that fertilizer thing too!"
Not only Uncle Hank, but even the people around him were all anxious. If they had initially thought that this was just a weird invention of that little girl Nunnally, now they were completely attracted to it!
This thing can actually make crops grow in winter, and they won't freeze to death! Not only that, the green thing called fertilizer also surprised the farmers. You know, although the soil here is fertile, it's not this exaggerated. The seeds have only been planted for a few days, and the sprouts have grown as tall as a palm!
At this rate, it would take at least a month to harvest! Not only that, the people here are all farmers, so they can see at a glance the advantages of this strange tent, which is not afraid of wind, rain, or frost. Anyone would be tempted by this!
"These are still in the experimental stage. If they are successful, we will consider selling them to the Alchemist Association."
Fang Zheng did not agree immediately. This was just a test product, and the reason why the crops grew so fast was because of the fertilizer. Although Nymph confirmed that the fertilizer extracted from the slime itself was not harmful, it was still necessary to wait until the experiment was completed to know the exact effect.
But getting up now... should be fine.
