Chapter 336 Big Explosion (Part 1)
Inazuma, in the newly established Inazuma No. 1 Chemical Plant, a group of alchemists, scholars and samurai were carrying some experimental equipment.
There were also some assistants carrying some less important things.
These scholars and alchemists were originally affiliated with the Inazuma Chemical Research Institute, but now they are moving to the more suburban and remote Inazuma First Chemical Plant.
Since Inazuma prepared for industrialization, the Chemical Research Institute has recruited a lot of staff and assistants, and has also conducted additional research on many industrial processes.
The purpose is to quickly put the chemical plant into production.
According to their calculations, if Inazuma Daiichi Chemical Plant officially enters mass production, many alchemical products and chemical raw materials on the market will experience a substantial price drop.
In this way, whether it is for their own research or for training newcomers on the path of alchemy and chemical engineering, it will have very good results.
Most researchers are still unable to complete various experiments by themselves like a genius.
For ordinary researchers and alchemists, the large number of colleagues is the cornerstone of their progress.
Experiments are always completed with the help of many companions.
An assistant was hurriedly carrying a tall pile of supplies.
A box of weights, perhaps because they were not placed properly, fell silently into the grass on the side of the road.
The words "Chemical Research Institute, Reactor Project, Catalyst Group" on the weight box seemed somewhat conspicuous.
On the contrary, the engraved words "Inazuma First Precision Laboratory" are less conspicuous.
Half a day later, in the laboratory of the reactor project, the assistant was checking the supplies and scratched his head, realizing that he could not find the weight box on the supplies list.
A scholar came over and saw the assistant running around in a panic and asked, "What's going on?"
"Uh, Mr. Scholar, one of the weight boxes on the list is missing and I can't find it no matter how hard I try."
The scholar frowned and said, "Run faster and go to Hanamiita's alchemy shop to buy a box of standard weights. Hurry up and don't delay the industrial trial production tonight."
"Yes, sir." The assistant made a bitter face and ran to buy weights.
A box of so-called standard weights was quickly purchased.
However, what this newly hired assistant obviously did not know was that these weights were not the same as other weights.
The weights from this xx blacksmith shop and the weights from the precision laboratory look similar, but in fact there is a huge difference.
In the evening, several alchemists who were preparing catalysts frowned as they looked at the pile of finished catalysts in front of them. They were alchemists from the catalyst team, and they usually specialized in studying various catalysts.
"It seems that the weights have been replaced with new ones today." An alchemist complained, "Why do I feel that some of the weights are a little off?"
"I feel something is wrong too," another person complained.
"Then let's measure it again." said the leader of the last group.
"Well, there's no problem." said the alchemist at the beginning after completing the examination.
"That's good." The team leader breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's work overtime. We'll need a lot of catalyst tonight."
"Yeah." The other two alchemists nodded and quickened their movements.
So this obviously larger amount of catalyst enters the next process.
…
In the evening, Inazuma First Chemical Plant began trial-producing alchemical compounds.
This alchemical mixture is one of the most common alchemical mixtures on the market and is the most basic formula, but this does not mean that this alchemical mixture is simple. This alchemical mixture is also one of the formal-level alchemical potions. Since it contains a variety of materials, only formal alchemists can synthesize it.
If you want to speed up the refining reaction, you naturally need to add various catalysts.
"All units are requested to add various materials according to regulations."
The warrior in charge of production safety gave a warning and stepped aside, revealing the huge reactor behind him.
"The burning wish agate short pieces and debris are put in."
"Growing green debris into it."
“Catalyst input.”
"The reactor is normal, start the timer."
"Put in fire attribute nectar and water attribute nectar."
"Throw in the catalyst."
"The reactor pressure is normal, start timing."
“…”
"Put in the fire attribute crystal fragments and the lightning attribute crystal fragments, add the rejection dew, and wait for the alchemical liquid to precipitate."
Suddenly, the air pressure valve of the alchemical reactor started working, and then the hazard indicator light on the reactor turned on, which meant that the alchemical reaction was abnormal and the reactor had automatically added stabilizer.
Then the hazard light turned red. What does this mean?
"?" A group of alchemists and scholars turned to look at the former head of the chemical experiment, now the director of Inazuma First Chemical Plant.
The factory director also looked confused.
Then he seemed to react, shouted "Run!", and ran outside.
Other alchemists and scholars also reacted and realized that an alchemical accident had occurred.
Then everyone ran outside, wishing their parents had given them two more legs. This gigantic industrial-grade alchemical reactor would have such a powerful effect if it caused an accident. I remember the training manual said that when an alchemical accident occurred in the chemical laboratory fifty years ago, half of the chemical laboratory's senior management were directly killed.
The red hazard indicator light on the alchemical reactor means that the stabilizer is useless and the reactor is about to explode.
Since this situation has basically never happened before, no one thought about it for a while.
The perspective goes back to when the catalyst was added to the alchemical solution. Due to the excessive addition of catalyst, the reaction between different elements became more violent, which led to an overreaction. The original one-third of the growing emerald debris was reduced to only one-tenth.
The same was true for other materials that followed. In the end, some of them had excessive alchemical reactions, while others had insufficient alchemical reactions.
The alchemical solution, which should have been harmonious and reacted slowly, naturally conflicted.
Then the pressure in the reactor increases greatly, triggering the air pressure valve. The air pressure valve continues to increase, triggering the hazard warning light. After the hazard warning light turns on, the stabilizer is also added to these alchemical reactions.
But at this time, such a small amount of stabilizer is naturally a drop in the bucket. After all, stabilizers are targeted at specific alchemical solutions, and who knows what kind of mixed solution the alchemical solution here is.
Therefore, it can only play a certain stabilizing role.
Then the reaction that should be reacted continues, and the reaction that should not be reacted also reacts, because the stabilizer is originally a kind of alchemical product.
