Chapter 220 Decomposition and Restoration

Roland was packed with various test props on the office floor early in the morning.

Everything from solids to liquids, minerals to metal ingots, inorganics to organics.

You look quite happy.Nightingale squatted down, pinched the small soup buns from the dining plate, and threw them into her mouth.

Of course, there is another new witch in the town, and her abilities are so incredible. Roland raised an eyebrow. Also, don’t think I didn’t see it. You just stole the test piece, right?

There are a few more, she wiped her mouth. Lucia's ability is very useful?

It is of great use, whether it is decomposition or reduction, it can bring great progress to smelting and manufacturing.Roland said excitedly that with Anna, the strength of the machinery can be increased several times. Even if there is no energy production, as long as you make a few mother machines manually, it will definitely improve the production level of the town.

Today, the machine tools used in the factory of Grayburg Industrial Company are precisely processed by Anna. Although they were extremely accurate in scale at the beginning, due to the defects of the materials themselves, the wear and deformation of the machine tools during the production process are becoming increasingly obvious, and tool breakage and fragmentation are even more common.

Without Anna's supplementary maintenance parts, these machines can only last for a year or two at most.

Lucia's ability makes it possible to accurately control material composition. Machine tools made of high-strength cast iron, steel, and even alloys can not only improve service life, but also take a new level of processing efficiency and processing level.

For example, something like a revolver that can only be produced by Anna can also enter the sequence of mass production.

Yeah?Nightingale jumped back to the table, but she didn't seem to think so.

Because she has not truly realized the value of her ability, just like Mystery.Roland didn't think so, if Lucia could read "Theoretical Basics of Natural Science", she would definitely not have such ideas again.

... The nightingale silently stuffed two handfuls of dried fish into her mouth.

When Lucia finished her breakfast and came to the office, the ability test officially began.

Roland watched with anticipation as she turned the test items into piles or small piles of different substances, iron ingots and iron ore into silver-white particles. If you look closely, you can also find some variegated powders on the side.

The grapes and meat chops have not changed, while the small buns have become water, meat residue and flour.

Halfway through the transformation, she suddenly stopped and said embarrassingly: I seem to have... exhausted all my magic.

Roland looked at the Nightingale, who nodded. The magic stored in her body was very little, and she looked like a erratic cloud of smoke, but this was the first time she saw such a color.

What color?

……grey.She said.

Roland returned to his desk and waved to Lucia. The magic of the witch continues to grow with age and training. You are not yet adult, so it is already very good to be able to do this.When the little girl walked to the table, he pushed the parchment that had been prepared long ago to the other side. Since you decided to stay in the border town, sign this contract.

Lucia lowered her head and saw the end of the contract, and couldn't help but breathe. One golden dragon a month?Your Highness...but, but my ability has not been tested yet?

It has nothing to do with your ability, Roland smiled and shook his head. As long as you are a member of the Witch Alliance, this contract will be permanently valid.

Is this true even if the witch's abilities are useless?She asked in disbelief.

You can also understand it this way, the prince spreads his hands, but I believe that any witch's ability has its own unique uses, but the discovery is different in sequence.So you don't need to worry about not being useful.He paused, and in addition, you should have heard the real reason for the magic body ate from other witches, so to ensure a smooth passage of awakening day, you have to practice your abilities repeatedly every day.After dinner, the Shujuan teacher will teach the witches in the living room, and you must also listen to the lectures. Although you have mastered reading and writing, it is still necessary to learn basic mathematics and natural basic courses.

Yes, Your Highness.Lucia nodded vigorously.

You have a sister, right?Roland smiled and said, "When class is in, take her here, she is also at the age of getting an education."

Lucia was slightly stunned. After raising her head to confirm that he was not a joke, she bowed happily and said, obeying the order.

After the little girl left, Roland put the signed contract into the drawer and looked at the various test products on the ground and thoughtful.

What is the result?The nightingale asked.

Surprisingly, he picked up the plate containing the small buns and fiddled with the fine meat residue and flour inside. For example... When the flour is kneaded, the gluten contained in it will form a mesh structure, which will make the flour ball flexible and stretchable.Once steamed, the gluten made of protein will be denaturated due to high temperature. Even if it is ground into powder, it will not be possible to return to its previous delicate and smooth appearance.This transformation is irreversible, but... Roland pinched a small cluster of powder and spread it in his palm, which felt smooth and soft, like fresh flour that had just been ground. She brought the flour back to its original appearance.

Uh, I don't understand it very much, Nightingale curled her lips, but in this way, her ability can be regarded as a reduction of matter?

Not so, Roland pointed to the iron ingot. If it were just restored, the iron ingot should have become iron ore, but in fact it was broken down into iron powder and other impurities.

...What is her ability?She said in a daze.

It's not clear yet, but at least it can be speculated that perhaps her ability has two effects. As for which form it manifests itself depends on her knowledge.

experience?

In essence, meat steak is not much different from iron ore. They are all made of multiple particles, but Lucia's ability can only decompose iron ore and cannot act on meat steak. I think it is probably because she cannot understand the composition of organic matter... or life forms.Roland explained that he was not sure whether this guess was correct, but there was no doubt that Lucia was the person who needed to learn supplementary knowledge as soon as possible.

*******************

Three days later, when the second fleet carrying fugitives from the East arrived in the town, the same outbreak broke out on the ship, and this time it was even more serious, with almost half of the people infected.

Roland learned through the question that some patients had dark spots on the first day after boarding the ship, which means that they had been parasitized by strange insects earlier, and the incubation period was also greatly shortened.

At the same time, Roland also received a letter sent back from the capital, with the sealing wax printed with the mark of the Margaret Chamber of Commerce.

After reading the contents of the letter, he frowned.

The evil epidemic is spreading heavily in the royal capital. The church claims that it is a witch's conspiracy and tells the people that they have holy medicines that can fight the evil epidemic.

A large number of infected people also appeared outside the royal capital. For safety reasons, Tassa chose to temporarily terminate the transport of fugitives.

If the time is not estimated incorrectly, the first fleets returning will return to the capital in four days and bring news that the town can cure the evil epidemic, but those infected patients may not have the chance to survive the nearly week's journey on the ship, and the church's propaganda also made him smell a little conspiracy.

After much consideration, he decided to send a team to escort Lily to the capital.

Otherwise, most of the people in the royal capital and the fleeing people in the East would die in this man-made disaster, and they would all survive to become devout believers in the church.

Roland must avoid this as much as possible.
