Travel through the ancient forest system

Chapter 114 Alcohol
During Wu Yu's brewing period, Xiao Song did experience inflammation, but fortunately, Feng Lao discovered it early and dealt with it in time, and passed the dangerous period without any danger.

But it does not mean that the next person will have such good luck, so it is necessary to make alcohol.

After about a week or so, the fermentation is almost complete, and a sweet rice wine is produced.

Next, Wu Yu will consider the method of distillation. She still understands the principle, which is to use the difference between the boiling point of alcohol and the boiling point of water.

The original fermented liquid is heated to between the two boiling points, then the alcohol gas is collected and cooled to obtain distilled alcohol.

Although she can't judge the degree of alcohol, she plans to use an experimental method to determine how many distillations it takes to get 75% medical alcohol.

She can choose to wipe the wine with different distillation times on different rabbit wounds to see which one has better sterilization effect.

Although it will be a little troublesome, it is enough to get the result.

If you want to distill, you must first make a distillation equipment. Wu Yu also knows that the conditions here are limited, and she doesn't want to make a high-end one, as long as it can be used. She plans to use bamboo as the material.

The most important thing in distilling alcohol is to control the temperature of the liquid, but there is no thermometer here, so Wu Yu intends to judge according to the boiling situation.

There is no doubt that the alcohol boils first, and then see when the boiling changes, that is, the water starts to boil.

At this time, add some wine to it and continue to distill, so as to get the wine gas in a cycle.

But there will definitely be water vapor mixed in here, but it doesn't matter, after all, it is not 100% alcohol.

After getting the alcohol gas, it needs to be liquefied.In this process, Wu Yu intends to use bamboo as pipes to connect the pots and stoves with wooden barrels for cold water.

The water in the barrel should be changed frequently to maintain the liquefaction effect.

Of course, the liquid obtained from the first distillation of rice wine will definitely not be alcohol, and it is still in the stage of liquor, so it needs to be distilled again with liquor.

Finally, Wu Yu will compare the alcohol effects of double distillation, triple distillation and quadruple distillation to see which has the best bactericidal and anti-inflammatory effect.

It took Wu Yu two months from the preparation to the conclusion of the result. After experimenting with rabbits, he found that the alcohol obtained after three distillations had the best effect. At this time, Xiao Song's injury had completely healed, leaving only a large scar.

After telling Feng Lao about the effect of alcohol and successfully trying it on the patient's small wound, it was already mid-October, and Wu Yu could also focus on finding cotton.

So, Wu Yu went to find Zhao Qing one day in advance, "Xiao Qing, I'm here to find you."

"You finally came to see me. I'm so bored that I haven't seen you for the past two months." Zhao Qing couldn't help complaining when she saw Wu Yu.

"I'm sorry, Xiaoqing. I was making a very important thing before, so I came to you just after finishing it." Wu Yu also knew to ignore her, but there was no other way.

"Then I will forgive you if you have to accompany me to collect it tomorrow." Zhao Qing said arrogantly.

"Okay, no problem. In fact, I came today to go with you."

"Ah, then I'm at a loss!" Seeing what she said, Zhao Qing immediately realized that her request was unnecessary.

"No loss, no loss, I can accompany you in the future." Wu Yu said quickly.

"Okay, I will remember your words!"

In the next month or so, Wu Yu and Zhao Qing followed the adults to collect, and their task was to find cotton.

However, it is counterproductive.
