Chapter 57: Detailed Operation, Purification of Sulfur
The warehouse where sundries are stored has already been filled with less than half of the supplies.
After Somo emptied out all the sulfur ore, the debris warehouse was finally full.
A faint odor emanates from the surface of the ore.
After touching the powdery yellow substance on the ore, Somo lowered his head, picked up a smaller piece, and came to the workbench.
If you want to purify sulfur ore, the process is extremely simple.
You only need to heat the sulfur monomer minerals whose current purity seems to be acceptable in a distillation bottle. When the temperature reaches about 200 degrees Celsius, use a filter to remove a wave of impurities that have not yet melted to ensure purity.
After filtration is completed, continue to heat the remaining substances. During the heating process, stir the remaining impurities to continue evaporation and filtration.
When the temperature reaches 400 degrees, the sulfur gas will begin to evaporate. These evaporated sulfur gases are collected, and after cooling and solidification, relatively pure sulfur can be obtained.
In ancient times, the reason why gunpowder was not developed early was because it was difficult to extract pure sulfur.
However, under the current workbench, extraction will not be a problem at all.
Return to the energy room, turn on the generator power supply, come to the workbench, and turn on the self-test button.
After the red and green indicator lights turned green after the self-test was completed, Somo put on the robotic arm and started to control the purification.
Complete purification tools are already available on the workbench.
Use a mechanical arm to pound the sulfur ore into powder, pull out the purification vessel, and pour it until two-thirds of the time, when Somo begins to operate as required.
Purifying this thing can be done easily with just the basics of chemistry experiment class in high school.
The experimental module has high-quality electric heating nozzles with high heating efficiency.
After a while, the temperature requirement for preliminary filtration was reached. After shaking and filtering through the filter, the Somo began to heat again.
This time, the impurities filtered out have become much less, and it is easy to filter again.
When the temperature reaches 400 degrees, traces of yellow gas begin to drift away.
Open the valve, and the yellow gas begins to float along the pipe to the condenser pipe next to it.
As time went on, more and more yellow crystal powder began to form, and slipped through the condenser tube into the beaker aside for collection.
There are experimental bonus vessels on the workbench to enhance collection efficiency and heating speed.
After completing a complete set of work, Sumo estimated it based on the fuel consumption of the diesel generator. It should take less than 20 minutes.
【Sulfur (Excellent)】
Description: High-purity sulfur crystals distilled by the craftsman "Soma". The process is rigorous and follows scientific concepts. For inexplicable reasons, the grade has been upgraded to an excellent level.
Special ability: burns more fully, and becomes more powerful when added to certain items.
Seeing that there were about 300g of sulfur in the beaker, Sumo clapped his hands with satisfaction.
Sulfur is a bit delicate and flammable, so it must be stored in a cool place.
Take out a small wooden cup, put all the purified sulfur into it, and then cover it with a cover.
After looking at a circle of places to store it, Sumo finally chose to put it in the unoccupied second bedroom.
A day's hard work pays off in full.
Nowadays, the huge shelter finally has some popularity. There are Oreos, kobolds, and two large and small Sparkling Wild Feather Chickens.
"Hey, speaking of these two little things, why didn't they come out?"
Curious, Sumo walked to the crop breeding room and found the figure of Big and Little Sparks in the corner.
The two chicks looked very tired, leaning on each other and lying obediently on the soil of the culture medium.
A few young cabbages that had just emerged were crushed to pieces by two wild-feathered chickens, struggling to survive.
"These two little guys are really good at choosing a place to sleep. They came to sleep under the sun and almost crushed my food."
After staring at it for a while, Sumo felt a little dumbfounded.
Hold the handful of flames on the heads of the two little guys and place them on the ground.
"Hey, what is this?"
Under the place where the two wild-feathered chickens were lying, Somo found a little bit of crystal-like strips.
There are not many strips, about seven or eight, evenly scattered in the culture medium.
Summoning his attention and calling the system, Soma looked at it.
[The excrement of wild-feathered chickens]
Description: The natural fertilizer emitted by wasteland biological wasteland chickens after sucking up active water sources has the characteristics of odorless and delicate fragrance.
Evaluation: After using Jin Ke La, the wheat yield is 1,800 per mu, and one bag can be used to spread two bags!
"What a good thing. I thought it was just two chickens laying eggs, but I didn't expect it to be a natural fertilizer."
"But after excreting this stuff, the two little guys seem very tired."
Seeing Little Spark being lifted to the ground, still lying on his stomach as if he was dying, Sumo poked Little Spark out of curiosity.
What he got in return was a weak coo.
"Maybe he's hungry? Speaking of which, this wasteland creature is really strange. Although Oreo looks like Erha, he eats everything. I don't know what these two wild feather chickens usually eat?"
Walking inside, he looked at the psionic water still in the basin. Somo nodded and walked around to the place where daily necessities were stored.
After working as a miner for a long time and choosing, Sumo decided to make a good meal in the evening.
The sand wolves left over from the previous hunt were now piled in the corner of the storage space. After taking them out, the smell of blood hit my face.
He found a fatter sand wolf, cut off a few larger pieces of meat, and put the rest back, then Somo came to the stove.
Sand wolf meat has very little fat and oil, so Sumo chose a relatively unhealthy method - deep-frying!
Clean the blood stains on the sand wolf meat, cut all the pieces of meat into even slices, sprinkle with salt, sprinkle with crushed black pepper, and press to taste.
Pour a little flour paste on the sand wolf meat, dismantle the spicy slices, spread the spicy oil inside evenly on the flour, and finally cover it with a basin.
While the flavor is taking in, turn on the stove, clean it up, and light the fire and add oil.
When the oil is 70% hot, add the sand wolf meat.
The moment the vegetable oil and sand wolf meat were combined, a crackling sound was heard, and at the same time a greasy smell of oil hit your face.
After the sand wolf meat was fried until golden brown on both sides, Somo quickly removed the firewood and took out all the fried meat patties.
Without the fire source, the vegetable oil in the pot began to cool.
After the oil cooled down completely, Sumo picked up the arowana oil bucket and put most of the oil in it, leaving only the base oil.
Take out about a pound of biscuits again, pour them into the base oil and stir-fry.
The biscuits, which are already crispy and fragrant, have a peculiar fragrance under the stimulation of vegetable oil.
In the post-apocalyptic wasteland, being able to eat such "unhealthy" greasy food is really a hard-earned happiness.
After finishing the meal, Sumo turned around and was about to call the little ones to come over for dinner. He was shocked to find that the two wild-feather chickens that were still pretending to be dead were already sitting in a row in front of the stove.
"Okay, you three little guys are so hungry~"
Under the soft light, the big and small sparks stared at the fried dregs of biscuits in Sumo's hand.
As for the Oreos on the side, the pieces had already fallen to the floor. He was holding his own food bowl in his mouth, and his eyes followed the bowl of fried meat patties in Somo's hand.
"Haha, haha, woo, ah woo!"
Seeing that Somo had no intention of feeding him, Oreo was so anxious that he was spinning on the ground, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Be good, everyone has a share."
Signaling Oreo to put down the food bowl, Somo poured in half of the biscuits at a time and then two pieces of patties.
Scoop out a small half of the biscuits, mash them into pieces in a bowl, and place them in front of the big and small sparks.
A delicious dinner was prepared, and when Somo gave the order, the dinner started happily.
The crispy aroma of oil residue and biscuits collides in the mouth. The originally very woody sand wolf meat becomes extremely tender and tender after being fried, which can be swallowed by the tongue.
After eating a big mouthful of meat pie and taking another sip of nether energy water, Somo felt that his whole body was enlightened!
"Hey, I feel like I forgot something. Forget it, let's talk about it after we finish eating!"
Shaking his head and throwing the strange thoughts behind him, Sumo returned his attention to the sumptuous dinner~
I’m going to be full tonight!
Go do something big that you have been thinking about for two days!
