Chapter 17 Expectations
"But... it's incredible. It's obviously extremely pure gold, so how can it be refined into pure gold? And even though the density is very high, the mass is nearly half of what it was before. Where did the other substances and mass go? What are those impurities?"
Although the process of refining pure gold is very "cultivating", it is not "scientific" or even "magical" at all.
Jieming picked up the stone tripod and examined it carefully to make sure there was no residual substance inside.
The amount of waste gas and the amount of material processed by the laboratory were checked through the magic network terminal. Although a lot of "impurities" turned into black smoke and disappeared, even if the mass of the waste gas was added, a lot of mass still disappeared in the refining process.
"It's really... a curious phenomenon."
If he had encountered this situation simply in the world of immortal cultivation, Benjamin might not have been so interested, but this was in the wizarding world. From the knowledge he learned from the basic alchemy manual, he knew that the material structure of the wizarding world was similar to that of his previous life, and was composed of various basic particles.
So theoretically speaking, even if gold is purified to the limit, it can only be "gold", and there is no possibility of refining it into pure gold.
However, now is not the time to study these things. If it is just to verify whether the refining method can really produce pure gold, Benjamin would not spend such a huge price.
After all, renting the laboratory alone had consumed most of his remaining points balance. Now what he needed to do was to use this little bit of refined gold to make back his investment or even earn some extra money to obtain the initial start-up capital.
Thanks to the wizarding world's extreme emphasis on knowledge, as long as Benjamin is not stupid enough to sell the raw materials directly, no one dares to delve into the production process or principles.
As for how to cash in, Benjamin originally planned to take it slowly, but just now when he was "surfing the Internet", he found a pretty good "sales channel".
Go to the magic network terminal on the wall of the laboratory and enter the command to connect to the internal magic network of the academy.
Benjamin used his mental power to search for information on materials related to "stability", "isolation", "anti-magic" and "anti-detection".
The search results popped up immediately.
There are indeed various types of isolation materials in the college's internal database. They are widely used in laboratory protection, sensitive area shielding, storage of precious items, and even the manufacture of certain special equipment.
What surprised Benjamin the most was that this kind of material was not only expensive, but also semi-consumable in a sense.
Data shows that although basic insulation materials are very cheap, advanced insulation materials are extremely expensive, and some special materials even require sky-high points to redeem!
Because of the frequent need to conduct various messy experiments, the wizard system seems to be in great need of this type of material that can resist the erosion of various energies and mental powers. Moreover, due to frequent accidents that lead to too much loss, they are even consumables and are in huge demand.
"Haha...hahahaha..." Benjamin couldn't help laughing wildly in his heart.
His "fine gold" is so stable that it is almost unaffected by any energy. Even compared with the isolation materials in the database, it can be considered a high-end product.
As for the cost, if we deduct the knowledge of other systems, which is difficult to measure, there is also the consumption of gold, laboratory rental and labor costs.
There was no way to save money on the laboratory; it would cost at least five points each time. However, this was already within his previous plans, and the labor cost could be ignored. As for the remaining gold cost...
Jieming checked the price of gold purchased directly on the Magic Net, and then his face twitched uncontrollably: "One point can be exchanged for one cubic meter of non-transcendent metal... Oh my god!"
Although gold is precious in the eyes of ordinary people, it is still considered a non-supernatural metal for wizards.
"So... is this what it feels like to master core technology? It's truly fascinating!"
After the excitement, Benjamin immediately started to think about it.
He didn't need to refine a large amount of refined gold, as that would consume too much of his true energy, and if it was too effective as a partition material, it would also attract attention.
He only needs to refine a small amount of refined gold, and then use the adhesion technology of alchemy to "plate" this layer of refined gold on an ordinary metal base to give it powerful insulating properties.
This type of fine gold plating consumes very little real gold compared to pure fine gold bars, and the effect will not be too excessive.
Thinking of continuing to do it, without hesitation, Benjamin simply spent his last points to buy a cubic meter of tin.
This is a very common metal material with relatively ordinary properties in all aspects, but it has high plasticity and is the base material for various alloys.
As the door of the laboratory was knocked, Benjamin opened it and saw a silver-white puppet standing outside the door carrying a huge iron block.
Commanding the puppet to place the tin in the center of the laboratory, Benjamin watched the puppet reintegrate into the silver-white wall of the corridor outside the laboratory.
Stainless steel, as its name suggests, has an overall color that tends to be white.
Benjamin took out the alchemy plate and placed it upside down on the tin block. He closed his eyes and concentrated, mobilizing the runes of truth deep in his spiritual sea.
More than half a month had passed since the first class, and Benjamin had also constructed the second rune of truth in his spiritual sea.
As an apprentice of alchemy, the core pattern of the second rune of truth represents the concept of "fusion" in alchemy, which is also the main reason why Jemin started to act today.
What Jieming has to do is also very simple. The main material is tin. Most of the tin is made into iron sheets of standard specifications. The refined gold is fused with the tin and then used as a thin film to be "plated" on the surface of the iron sheet using alchemy.
As for selling, it is even simpler. The magic network terminal in the laboratory has the function of selling products. Wizards in need can buy them directly online, and the remaining balance from the sales will be automatically transferred to Jemin's account.
However, before being sold, these items need to be tested by the college to confirm their specific properties and isolation levels.
But these things have nothing to do with Jeming. He just handed over all the products and the original test samples to the puppet outside the laboratory, and all he had to do was wait.
I glanced at the time and saw that there were still a few minutes left before the lab usage time ended.
He destroyed the stone furnace he had made, cleaned up all traces, and ensured that this low-level laboratory was restored to its original state.
The moment he walked out of the laboratory door, Benjamin was a little weak physically due to the large amount of alchemy, but his spirit was extremely excited.
"My initial thought was right. The Dao Book Pavilion contains so much knowledge about refining equipment, talismans, and formations... Once I find the right materials and methods to implement them in this world, I will become the richest alchemist in the wizarding world!"
He seemed to see countless points and rare resources waving at him.
