Global Lords: My Heroes Grow Infinitely Chapter 331 - 244 Preparations Before Exploring the Undergro

In the next mont, ng Die grabbed Rosen’s ear and started to twist it forcefully.

"Ah, it hurts, hurts, hurts, can you not do this?"

"Did you realize my power now?"

"Yes, yes, yes, let go."

Rosen then realized that ng Die had been controlled by Wealth Wolf, who used ng Die to attack him. It made Rosen understand that if he didn’t help Wealth Wolf complete this mission, ng Die might end up killing him.

"Alright, we’ll take on this task, but you must ensure that during the mission, Tang Sanzang is kept healthy and chubby," Rosen demanded.

"Oh, that’s no problem at all, after all, it’s Tang Monk’s flesh, heh heh!"

Wealth Wolf sneered, and Rosen followed with a sneer, saying, "Then it’s settled."

"Of course, it’s settled. We tomb raiders will fatten up your provisions, and you help us explore the Ancient Tomb Palace."

The two sides reached an agreent and conducted a preliminary investigation of the current situation in the Underground Palace Tomb. Results showed that the rcury content in the tomb was evidently over the limit recently, possibly due to the tomb raiders’ activities, causing a connection with other tombs, leading the rcury from traps over there being channeled here.

You should know rcury has a strong volatilization capability, and if not promptly handled, large amounts of rcury vapor can easily lead to poisoning.

"rcury is a hard-to-handle tal. To neutralize its toxicity, we can take two steps: first, let rcury react with sulfuric acid to generate rcury sulfide, then react with sodium chloride to form the more stable rcury chloride."

"Why is rcury chloride more stable than rcury sulfide?" ng Die asked, puzzled, after hearing Rosen’s words.

Rosen said, "rcury has a trivalent combining thod, HgCl3, with three chlorines around one rcury atom. You should know that a triangle has stability; when evened out, it forms an equilateral triangle with sixty-degree angles, surely stable. Moreover, being a strong acid salt, it’s hard to replace."

"And rcury sulfide, Hg2S3, clearly has a 2:3 ratio, and this structure is obviously not as stable as the previous triangular form. Well, that’s it for talking; if you ask more, I can only say it’s taphysics."

Rosen said with so unparalleled asure, as it was undeniable that explaining needed more words.

Upon hearing this, ng Die suddenly had a light bulb flash over her head and said, "So should we be preparing sulfuric acid and salt?"

"Yes, we need concentrated sulfuric acid and non-iodized salt, with the salt needing purification to prevent additional chemical reactions," Rosen said.

Thus, tasks were assigned to ng Die and Barefoot Immortal, letting Barefoot Immortal prepare the sulfuric acid, and ng Die purchase and purify large amounts of salt.

Barefoot Immortal said, "I can produce acid myself. I just need to wear a hundred pairs of slly socks and walk a kiloter; my slly feet can generate a liter of acid, though I’m not sure if its composition is sulfuric acid."

Upon hearing this, Rosen was astonished.

Barefoot Immortal sure deserved the title of a mobile biochemical weapon.

Especially considering the strict control over sulfuric acid, making it impossible to legally trade privately; they had to find another way.

"Let test first whether what’s produced from your feet is sulfuric acid."

"Add dilute hydrochloric acid first to exclude the sulfite ions, then add barium chloride. If white precipitate sulfur barium appears, then it’s sulfuric acid."

Moreover, this step can purify the sulfuric acid, removing incomplete reaction-produced sulfite ions, while miscellaneous-added hydrogen chloride can also be eliminated through heating, recycling for reuse.

After confirming the feasibility, Rosen began the experint.

Took a milliliter of liquid secreted from Barefoot Immortal’s slly feet, first dropping in dilute hydrochloric acid to exclude interference, then barium chloride.

Sure enough, white precipitate appeared.

Rosen was overjoyed, saying, "Great, it is sulfuric acid!"

However, Barefoot Immortal was not convinced, saying, "Isn’t there a possibility that the white precipitate is my stubborn foot gri?"

The composition of foot gri mainly includes detached dead skin mixed with sweat gland secretions.

But as Barefoot Immortal is no ordinary human, his foot gri can withstand the destruction of sulfuric acid, indicating its structure is very stable. Thus, under dilute sulfuric acid, it’s likely not decomposed, possibly even catalyzed to form precipitate.

Upon hearing Barefoot Immortal raise a concern again, Rosen always felt, if solving the problem was difficult, then directly solve the person who posed the question. That’s how things beco peaceful.

Suddenly, he drew a kitchen knife.

Seeing the sharp knife placed against his neck, Barefoot Immortal’s face turned pale, laughing/pleadingly saying, "Don’t, please, I won’t raise any questions again, okay?"

"That’s more like it." Rosen put away the knife and said, "Now that we are sure what’s produced on your feet is sulfuric acid, we should proceed to the next phase, which involves online purchasing a treadmill for you to run on. Knowing you produce a liter of sulfuric acid walking one kiloter, let’s set a plan for you to continually run, producing large quantities of sulfuric acid, and you can lose weight in the process."

"Sounds quite good," Barefoot Immortal said, smiling.

"I’m back!" At this mont, ng Die just returned from shopping outside.

The assignnt Rosen gave ng Die was to procure salt from outside and purify it.

After coming back, ng Die said, "To save costs, I specifically went to coastal salt flats to buy coarse salt cheaply from local salt farrs. I bought a ton of it in one go, and the salt farr said that due to recent wastewater pollution, the coarse salt is rich in radioactive elents, given as a free bonus without charging extra."

Upon hearing this, Rosen’s face turned steel blue.

"Radioactive elents? ng Die, are you serious?"

"Yes, I’m very serious."

"Alright, tell how you plan to purify this batch of coarse salt."

It’s essential to understand coarse salt already contains nurous impurities, making purification troubleso, plus the radioactive elents.

Hydrogen isotopes?

They inhabit water and can be removed using evaporation, but so radioactive elents, such as selenium isotopes, cannot be so easily evaporated away.

Handling this is a large hassle.

ng Die suddenly noticed Barefoot Immortal playing with a treadmill, and found interest, jumping onto it for fun.

The duo was like two hamsters enjoying treadmill playti.

Suddenly, Rosen had an epiphany and said, "Right, why didn’t I think of that!"

When the human body exercises, rcury is secreted through the skin, eliminating excess salt. Through body filtration, radioactive elents remain inside, effectively removing them.

"No, that’s not quite right, because body filtration can’t ensure complete removal of radioactive elents, requiring multiple rounds of filtration."

After calling ng Die over again, Rosen gave him a challenging task: to consu coarse salt while running alongside Barefoot Immortal on the treadmill.

It eventually turned out ng Die’s daily workout could purify a ton of coarse salt, and due to ng Die’s strong physique, only needed one filtration round to remove all radioactive elents.

Because of this, ng Die shone brightly, becoming a truly glowing butterfly.

"Wow, what kind of cheap special effect is this? I’m actually glowing!" ng Die exclaid.

"No, this level of luminescence can be considered as a one-dollar special effect, not just a fifty-cent trick!" Rosen corrected.

Upon hearing this, joy filled ng Die’s heart, signifying he was the first among them to achieve the one-dollar effect, surpassing Rosen.

"Absolute light ray!"

When radioactive elents accumulated sufficiently, ng Die couldn’t control himself anymore. He pushed his palms forward, launching a beam of luminous light from his hands.

Boom!

Its power was astonishingly fierce.

anwhile, Barefoot Immortal, after prolonged running, successfully slimd down, attaining a slender waist.

With the skill setting allowing increased distance when throwing shot puts, it also ant Barefoot Immortal could cause greater damage when using throwable weapons.
