But even so, during the construction process of the magic glue farm, a large number of people from the territory were still attracted to watch. The Bactrian Code had regulations on people gathering, but these regulations only restricted organized gatherings.
If you're just passing by spontaneously, there's no reason to limit it.
Fortunately, half a month has passed and I have seen everything that needs to be seen at the farm. On the surface, it is just a pool of water, and there is nothing interesting to see.
So when Xia Duo came here this time, he didn't encounter any congestion, but if Jay summoned the portable laboratory to the open air scene.
This kind of strangeness may not be able to subside in a short time.
Although it will not cause too serious chaos, it is enough to affect the state of everyone in the laboratory. Jay's current approach of summoning the laboratory to a small house is undoubtedly relatively prudent.
When Xia Duo came to the laboratory again, he saw more than a dozen new faces that he had not seen last time. He recalled them carefully, and he had an impression of most of them. They were new mages who had only passed the class assessment in recent months.
The intermediate assessment is at the end of this month, and the interval is too short. Obviously, more than ten new mages do not think that they can pass the intermediate assessment.
Of course, Xia Duo felt that it was more likely that the Human Resources Department had only rated level 1 for these dozen new mages, which did not meet the level 4 threshold for participating in the intermediate assessment.
So these people simply accepted Inuvich's invitation to join this new department that they had never heard of before, but which may have great potential in the future.
As for those rated at Level 4 or Level 3, it is estimated that they are unlikely to join the Magic Glue Research Center. The former needs to prepare for the exam, while the latter can be rated at Level 3, which means that they have done a good job in the previous department or independent research laboratory, and there is no need to suddenly
Change the track.
"They are really a grass-roots team!"
Looking at the young and even childlike faces in the laboratory, Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh. At the same time, he secretly decided that the next batch of inheritance ceremony quotas could be given priority to the Magic Glue Research Center.
Otherwise, this group of level 1 mages and individual level 2 mages may not even be able to use the various instruments and equipment equipped in the level 2 laboratory smoothly.
So while listening to Inuvich's introduction to the research results of the past half month, Shaduo also took the initiative to leave messages about the status of each member in the laboratory and inspected the backbone among them for reference when selecting places for the inheritance ceremony.

"President, what you are seeing now is the acid removal process. Even if it is a transparent magic glue monster that drank water and grew up, its body tissues are acidic and quite corrosive!"
As Inuvich walked, he introduced that there are currently two main methods for acid removal in the laboratory. One is to directly remove acid through natural magic. This method is the most effective, but currently only Atwood can do it.
Do it.
Atwood is not always in the laboratory, so he needs to use the second method, neutralizing and removing acid, and using alkaline or neutral substances to consume the acidity in the magic glue.
At present, the laboratory uses wood acid removal. Territory development has produced a large amount of wood. Coupled with the gradual popularization of magic stoves and heaters, the consumption of these wood will become a big problem in the future.
So when considering acid removal materials, Inuvich almost immediately thought of wood, and subsequent experiments proved Inuvich's guess——
Wood is indeed an effective means of removing acid.
In fact, Inuvich and others have experimented. As long as it is not an acidic substance, as long as a large amount of other things are added in a short period of time, it almost has the effect of removing acid.
Of course, the premise is to inactivate the magic glue tissue first, otherwise no matter how much food is added, the biological instinct will cause this part of the magic glue tissue to be slowly swallowed and digested, instead of consuming all the acidic substances that help digestion at once.
The inactivation step is not completed in the laboratory, but after the glue collection is completed, a night watchman is responsible for inactivating the magic glue.
Considering the special nature of the night watchman, Xia Duo did not visit specifically, but he knew the specific process. As an undead creature, the night watchman breathed negative energy into the glue bucket, first exhaling, and then exhaling.
In the process of negative energy flow, the inactivation process of the magic glue tissue is quietly completed.
The inactivated magic glue tissue is then sent to the laboratory for further processing.
…
"President, after removing the acid, it is dehydration. The water content of the magic glue monster itself is very high. The kind we are harvesting now is fed with water, so the water content is even higher. The dehydration step is essential."
At the same time as Inuvich introduced it, some magic glue was being dehydrated in the laboratory. It may be that Inuvich left it behind intentionally, or it may be the normal operation of the laboratory.
Xia Duo did not dwell on these details, but instead focused on the dehydration site. The process was simple and crude, that is, directly placing the magic glue that needed to be dehydrated into an evaporator and heating it, so that the water in it would evaporate in the form of steam.
"Wouldn't this destroy the properties of the magic glue?"
"There will be some loss, but it will not destroy the properties of the magic glue itself. In other words, this changed property is the properties of the magic glue we need."
"Are there harmful substances in the steam?" Xia Duo asked again.
The laboratory has complete equipment to ensure that even if there is contamination, it will not harm the experimenter. However, when it enters the mass production stage in the future, it will be impossible to equip the magic glue factory with laboratory-level protective measures.
Therefore, this issue is very critical and is directly related to the cost of magic glue production.
In this regard, Inuvich’s answer is——
"We have tested the discharged steam and found that there is only water and nothing else. Of course, if the acid removal is not complete, acidic steam will be produced."
"Um?"
Xia Duo seemed to suddenly think of something and asked quickly, "Have you considered using evaporation to remove acid and dehydrate at the same time?"
If the acid removal and dehydration can be completed in one step, it will not only simplify the process, but also obtain an additional by-product. Why not?
Of course, it is just an idea that comes to Xia Duo's mind. Whether it can be implemented depends on the judgment of professionals. For now, although the Magic Glue Research Center is just a grassroots team, it can barely be considered a professional after half a month of research.
To this, Inuvich replied:
“We have considered performing acid removal and dehydration at the same time, and have also conducted related experiments, but this method cannot completely remove the acidity in the magic glue.
"Currently, the territory has no special demand for acid, so we have not considered this option. If there is demand in the future, we can redesign the acid removal and dehydration process."
Although he learned from Inuvich that the method of direct evaporation has shortcomings, Chateau still felt that this was a development direction with great potential.
So he asked again: "Are the properties of the magic glue raw materials obtained by removing acid through natural magic and neutralizing acid the same?"
"It's generally the same, but more specifically because we currently invest most of our manpower and materials in the development and improvement of magic glue products, and have not yet conducted research in this area."
"We still need to do some research. It's best to understand the nature of the magic glue monster and what all the ingredients of the magic glue are."
"Yes, President, I will arrange it later."
"Um."
Shado is not worried about Inuvich's manpower and lack of supplies. He has already informed Depak and Cecily before to recruit new mages to provide a green channel, and there are almost no restrictions on supplies.
Increasing the research direction is nothing more than increasing manpower. What Sha Duo is not afraid of most is giving people. There are dozens of new mages in the Tower of Time every month. Is it possible that he is afraid that he will not be able to support a magic glue research center.
The more people there are, the better it can solve the employment problem of new mages!
Let’s set up the framework first and then do the detailed research slowly. Chateau is still very optimistic about Inuvich!
