It's not that difficult to open a hospital in another world, right? Chapter 573: To practice detoxification, first go to the workshop next door for a meal
Chapter 573: To practice detoxification, first go to the workshop next door for a meal
Serila pouted her lips, with an unhappy face, and threw the antidote spells one after another.
Elder Erwin sat cross-legged by the water, resting his fingers on a clump of long grass, closing his eyes and meditating. The grass around him was swaying slightly, and it seemed that he was communicating with the surrounding nature.
Bernard had nothing to do and had already squatted down to help the miners break stones.
Apa...I'm very sorry, Gretel's ability to detect emotions cannot tell what the expression on Apa's face means.
However, the silver moon deer's body shone with light, and the antidote spells were thrown out one by one. The miners who were treated by him were full of gratitude, and some had tears in their eyes, and they knelt down to this giant deer.
Obviously, Apa arrys everyone this time and becomes the most powerful healer besides Gretel.
Then, the most difficult task was left to Gretel:
How to teach this targeted detoxification technique - cadmium to teachers and Cerela?
In other words, how can their detoxification technology be able to identify things like cadmium?
"Grete, can you show me what the cadmium you are talking about looks like? I can't figure it out based on the paper alone!"
Serira threw a circle of detoxification skills and jumped over to ask again. Grete's face was bitter, he supported his right elbow with his left hand, raised his right hand, and rubbed his temples:
"Don't worry, wait until I think about it..."
The simplest way is of course to give them a piece of metal cadmium, even a pinch of powder. However, it is a pity that Gretel does not have this thing in his hands.
Buy it from the parliament? Write to the magician who discovered cadmium to buy it?... It's not that you can't afford it, but it's time to go back and forth, at least a week or two to start, and it takes such a long time...
Cerela is going to explode!
So, refine and synthesize it yourself? Extract cadmium from the waste mine in front of you?
How to refine it?
I thought high school chemistry was too difficult and didn’t teach it. In college, I thought inorganic chemistry was too easy and didn’t teach it...
A sideways glance revealed that Miss Silver Dragon had not exploded. The silver-haired girl's cheeks were bulging and she stared at him with a little grievance:
"Grete, so that cadmium... what does cadmium look like in the blood? Can you get rid of it together?"
It looks like it's in the blood... Gretel thought for a moment and finally understood what Serira was asking. Wait, is it the cadmium element that is removed by the detoxification technique, or is it the molecules formed by cadmium in the body?
Ah, I remembered. As for the molecules formed in the body, cadmium combines with substances inside the human body to form metallothionein, or MT for short...
As an emergency surgeon, the reason why Grete had an impression of this emergency medicine stuff was because a student used "I am MT" to fill in a song, specifically about metallothionein. At that time, he was very popular in the department.
People are singing everywhere.
However, what is the molecular structure of metallothionein? Forgive Grete, he is not one of the big guys in molecular biology and he really has no idea.
Wait, when he conducted targeted detoxification, he also directly targeted the cadmium element! He didn't even consider what would happen to the remaining parts of the metallothionein after removing the cadmium element...
Well, in theory, the protein molecule should be denatured and then excreted by itself. Considering that the content of cadmium in the human body is not large, and blood cadmium and urine cadmium are calculated in micrograms, the denatured protein molecules should not have much impact on the human body.
.
So the question is back to the same place. How to lock the cadmium element?
Even if you give me some cadmium oxide or cadmium sulfide!
Grete frowned and held his chin, struggling to squeeze his brain. A gust of wind blew, and Apa snorted suddenly, and came over to hug him. Grete was caught off guard, leaned to the side, and almost rolled into the stream:
"Appa! What are you doing?"
The Silver Moon Deer grunted and dug its hooves into the ground. Grete supported the stone with one hand and grabbed the antlers with the other, and managed to get up. What is this? Is the work done? Or is he angry?
He followed Apa's gaze and looked to the side, and saw another puff of yellow smoke rising from the top of the workshop in the distance. It was fluttering and filling the valley.
It is conceivable that on rainy days or when the air flow is relatively quiet, these smoke and dust will fall to the ground, contaminating the soil and water sources...
No wonder Apa is angry. The high-level monsters in the wilderness have healing abilities and are instinctively sensitive to the natural environment. With the natural environment ruined like this, Apa probably has the intention of demolishing the workshop.
The premise is that it must clearly recognize that workshops are the main culprit of environmental pollution.
By the way, what does this workshop produce?
Gretel decisively called the manager to ask about this kind of question. Although the manager only knew a little bit about it, he could still point out the direction for Gretel:
"It seems like they are making ore ingots... lead ore, zinc ore, etc. By the way, they also seem to be making dyes? Several times when I came back from them, I saw white and yellow powder on the road..."
Hmm... Gretel twirled his chin with his thumb and thought. Lead seems to be a famous dye. The powder used to paint the face was called "lead powder". No matter what compound it is, it must contain lead;
As for zinc, zinc oxide is white. One of the powders he used for the sunscreen magic he had been experimenting with before was zinc oxide;
Yellow…what dye is yellow? Sulfur? Are there any others?
"Lead the way, let's go take a look." Grete ordered without hesitation. The steward had a bitter look on his face: "Don't go...it's very dirty over there...it smells bad...just call someone over here, there's no need to go there specially."
…”
"I'd better go and see for myself. There are some things that I can't explain clearly."
Facts have proven that the combination of high-level priests + high-level mage + high-level monsters is invincible.
Grete walked to the door of the workshop with the bubble technique above his head. Before he could stand still, the door of the workshop opened quickly, and a steward wearing a short coat, high leather boots, and shiny buttons on his chest walked out quickly.
"My dear spellcasters, I have come here without warning. I apologize for the delay in greeting you. My lords, may I ask why you are here..."
"Let's take a look at the products you have here. If they meet your needs, we might buy some."
The face of the workshop manager froze. He really wanted to say, "The goods in our workshop are sold in bulk and not retailed." But looking at the people in front of him, he didn't dare to say. Come on, the other person is a high-level spell caster!
Not to mention buying a little, even if you grab a pack, as long as the workshop is not demolished, the boss will probably not do anything... Although he is a warrior himself, he is not even at the level of a knight and cannot be beaten at all...
Gretel easily stepped into the workshop's warehouse. Box after box and bottle after bottle of various products were dazzling before his eyes:
Lead ingots;
zinc ingots;
Submarine (Grete thinks it should be zinc oxide);
Scattered yellow…
"So what is this?"
Grete stared at the bottle of yellow powder and tried hard to use his brain. The thing was between lemon yellow and orange, sometimes with a little orange, which didn't look pure. His intuition told him that it was related to cadmium.
stuff, so what exactly is cadmium?
Cadmium oxide?
No, cadmium sulfide!
It’s cadmium sulfide!
The light yellow color should be cadmium sulfide, also known as cadmium yellow. It is a widely used dye, mostly used for coloring enamel, glass and ceramics... Yes, that's it!
Grete stretched out his hand and twisted a little bit. He closed his eyes slightly, locked the powder in his hand with his mental power, and used it as a reference to activate the detoxification technique. A faint yellow light fell and shone on a young boy who was following them step by step.
:
"how do you feel?"
The little guy burped suddenly and let out a breath of stinky breath. Then he moved his shoulders, moved his arms, and jumped a few times on the spot, with a face full of surprise:
"It seems much easier! Sir, what have you done?"
Gretel smiled and said nothing. He turned around and handed the bottle of cadmium sulfide to Cerela:
"Try it, use this as a reference for casting spells?"
Serila took it dubiously. She slipped out of the workshop, found a miner, took blood, applied the detoxification technique, and then took the blood. She dropped two identification techniques and her slender brows furrowed tightly:
"Grete, that's not working! The effect is a little bit, but not very good. The cadmium in the blood is just reduced, not completely removed!"
"Emmmm, let me think about it..."
Part of the cadmium element is combined into metallothionein, and part is combined with hemoglobin. So, do we still need to get out the cadmium ingots?
The workshop manager watched her running in and out with a nervous and distressed look on her face. Grete smiled and threw him a gold coin:
"What, you can't bear to part with it? It's not like we won't pay... Besides, you are also poisoned. Don't you need me to treat you later?"
After receiving the gold coins, the workshop steward breathed a sigh of relief, and then his heart became anxious again. His eyes widened and he opened his mouth to ask, but Grete had already pointed to the mine steward next to him:
"You go explain to him about poisoning or something. Well, let me think about how to get this thing out..."
Cadmium yellow... Cadmium yellow... Cadmium sulfide... Cadmium sulfide should be soluble in... soluble in...
By the way, according to its properties, it should be soluble in acid! And the properties of cadmium are more stable than zinc. You can replace it with zinc and see...
"Bernard! Bring me a table! Get some dilute sulfuric acid and some zinc!"
Fortunately, these things are available in the workshop. Gretel gave the order without anyone else, and the workshop manager who confirmed that he had been poisoned had already driven the little boy into a frenzy:
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and help Master Mage get something! Dilute sulfuric acid! Zinc ingots! Move quickly! If you keep procrastinating, I'll fire you! Master Mage, is such a big zinc ingot enough?... Just a small piece?"
Someone! Come quickly and get the scissors!"
Cadmium yellow dissolved in dilute sulfuric acid, and a beaker of light yellow solution appeared. Gretel carefully cut the zinc flakes into small pieces, threw them into the beaker, and kept stirring. Amitabha, God bless, God of nature bless, God of war bless...
Give me some cadmium anyway!
The light yellow color in the beaker became lighter and lighter. For a long time, among the zinc particles, there were very fine silver-white particles, rustling and falling.
Next, there was extremely boring inorganic chemical work such as filtration, drying, and squeezing. For a long time, Grete twisted a small handful of dust-like powder and handed it to Serira:
"Would you like to try this?"
"okay!"
The silver dragon girl ran out happily. Elder Erwin watched silently, speechless for a moment:
Hey, now that I have a girl, I don’t need a teacher anymore?
