We are in Terra and there is no book to read.

Teresica stretched out her hand, took the small cloth bag handed by the old man, opened it and saw that it was full of unknown powder.

"What is this?"

"It's an Originium worm. I killed it, pried off all the Originium crystals, emptied its internal organs and removed the outer shell, then dried and ground its skin, flesh and shell into powder, and put it into a small, dense cloth bag."

"My father told me this, saying it would protect me," Wink Sr. said.

Chapter 9 Source Stone Worm Powder

Teresica took out a little powder and looked at it in disbelief. The banshee and the atoneer beside her couldn't help but come over and pinch a little powder and put it in their hands to observe.

Can this reduce the harm of Origin Stone to the human body?

"Old man, are you the only one who knows this method? Why are you the only one using it?"

He curiously asked, since there is a way to slow down the infection, why is it not promoted?

"No, I told the people around me who work together, and I also told Mr. Andrew who manages this place."

Old Sakaz sighed helplessly, "It takes time to make these things. My father also said that it is best to replace them every once in a while, but even if you don't replace these powders, they will slowly leak out of your clothes. Raising Originium Insects It also takes time... These will delay ore mining, and young people don't believe in this."

"Your Majesty! We believe it!"

At this time, several old Sakaz in the crowd shouted, as if they were afraid that he would not notice, "Your Majesty! We have been here for decades, and we have always followed old Wenke's method!"

"We refiners are also using old Wenke's method!"

"I... also believe that you are the best evidence."

Teresica looked at Old Wink and said solemnly: "Now this mine belongs to me. I appoint you as the technician of this mine. I hope you can promote your experience."

Kelsey once said that the Origin Stone Worm is a creature that exists commonly in Terra, and its living environment is directly related to the Origin Stone.The history of their symbiosis with the Source Stone may be longer than the evolutionary history of many intelligent species on Terra, so maybe they have actually evolved substances to protect their bodies.

"Your Majesty...I can't fight...is it still useful?"

Upon hearing this, old Sakaz suddenly knelt on the ground and cried. Teresica quickly helped him up, "It's useful! The time you have experienced is the greatest treasure! You are not only a technician here, I also want to You have been asked to raise Origin Stoneworms and provide the raw materials for this protection method. Can you do it well?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! I will definitely do it well!"

The old and thin body burst out with a loud voice at this moment.

After that, we divided the source stone worm breeding area and allocated construction materials and manpower. Even with the assistance of the atonement master and the banshee, it took a long time to get it done.

There is no way a king and two clan leaders can do this themselves. The Shining can only kill people with swords and release Origin Stone skills, and most of the others are still illiterate!

"Thank you for your hard work today."

Teresica smiled sheepishly. He didn't have the airs of a superior, but that didn't mean others didn't. Both patriarchs were wearing dignified and exquisite clothes.But today he was preoccupied with things in the mine and didn't notice any of this, leaving the two of them in disgrace.

"Execute your will."

The two leaned over and said.What the young king did today was to make Sakaz better, and they knew in their hearts that at least part of the profits from the mine would not be stripped away by foreigners.

"His Majesty."

"Please speak."

"Your decision is extremely correct, but did that old man say it?"

The Atoner asked cautiously: "The powder of the Origin Stone Worm... slows down the infection... I can't connect it."

"Don't be so careful. This kind of thing has never happened before. It's normal to have doubts."

Teresica was not very used to this feeling. He was more used to the counselor pointing at him. He said: "It doesn't matter whether the powder of the Origin Stone Insect is effective or not. If it is, then it's best. If not, just ignore it." I feel relieved. Besides, building a Originium Insect Breeding Farm won’t waste anything. They can also act as a natural Originium Purifier.”

In this aspect, thanks to the biological knowledge that Kelsey gave him, the Source Stone Worm can eat enough with just a few scraps of the Source Stone crude mineral. Most of the impurities will be absorbed by the bug, and the Source Stone ingredients will Concentrate on its back.

All in all, not a loss!But does the powder of the Originium worm really not delay the infection?It has been passed down as a method, and it always has its reason.

Back at the royal residence, Teresica immediately kicked open the door of Warfarin's room.

"Warfarin, can protective gear made from the powder of the Origin Stone Worm reduce the harm caused by the Origin Stone to humans?"

"Huh? How is this possible?!"

Warfarin, who was lying on the floor eating snacks and playing games, turned over in boredom. After swallowing all the snacks in his mouth, he said in surprise, "Where did you hear such nonsense... Wait a minute. , you smell like an Originium mine, have you gone to the mine?"

"Well, I heard it from an old Sakaz who has worked in a mine for decades."

Teresica repeated the method that Old Wenke said to Warfarin in detail, "I saw that the Originium crystals on him are indeed much smaller than others. The miners who use the same method as him are all good." Apart from this group of people, there are no miners of this age who are several decades old.”

"The size of the Originium crystals on the body cannot effectively reflect the person's symptoms of infection. There are many infection lesions in the body and on the organs, which are invisible. That old guy Kelsey didn't teach you well. Listen."

Warfarin sat up, her laziness while playing games suddenly disappeared, and a steady aura of a scholar suddenly appeared all over her body.

"But the age of the miner you mentioned... this is quite strange. Sarkaz is born with a better affinity for Originium. Logically speaking, under the same working conditions, he should be the shortest-lived miner in the entire Terra. That's right, live for decades... I've never seen it in other countries, um..."

Warfarin thought for a long time, then lay down on her back, "It's a good research topic, but Kazdaele has no instruments, no laboratory, and no reliable team. I can't figure out the reason."

"A good topic? Does that mean that this thing may still have the function of reducing the harm of the Origin Stone?"

Teresica's eyes regained a lot of energy. If this method is feasible, it will be a stroke of luck. If it is combined with the containment potion, then the source stone production can be expanded with confidence.

"Uh... maybe, but there's nothing here, so I don't dare to talk about it."

The lazy breath crawled back to Warfarin's body again, and she threw a handle over, "Relax, it's meaningless for you to think about this now."

"Ah! It would be great if there was a complete medical system and research facilities."

Teresica sighed, picked up the controller and pressed the select button. He wanted to change a game, but nothing happened on the screen.

"What's wrong? Is the handle broken? I just used it and it was fine."

Warfarin tried and threw another one over, but there was still no reaction when he took it.

"Huh? What's going on here?"

Warfarin looked over curiously, and Teresica also looked puzzled. What happened to this hand today?The price of these things is not cheap!

He quickly took apart the handle, and after carefully observing the Originium components inside for a while, he suddenly looked at the little stain between his fingernails, and his eyes slowly widened.

Chapter 10 Removing Impurities

It was Terra's common knowledge that the Source Stone would infect objects that were in contact with it for a long time and corrode its tissues.

All of Terra's energy-consuming equipment uses the energy of Source Stone. In order to ensure the normal operation of these equipment, the Source Stone components will be packaged as quickly as possible after they are installed.Because once tiny impurities fall on a component, the energy of the Origin Stone will slowly erode it over time, and as its own energy is transferred and dissipated, a large amount of deposited impurities will be produced, causing the component to fail.

"The Shining! Call all the guards! Quick! Now!"

It was already late at night, but there was a burst of shouting from the royal residence. Teresica looked at the hastily assembled guards in front of her and was not in the mood to say anything more, so she ordered immediately.

"Everyone, go catch source stoneworms! The more, the better!"

The soldiers all had expressions of astonishment on their faces, but the obedience of long-term training still made them respond in unison: "Yes!"

Warfarin hurriedly ran out of the room and looked at Teresica in confusion, "What are you going to do? Make so many people unable to rest?"

"experiment."

“Where did Cazdale get the lab and equipment?!”

Warfarin's eyes became even more confused, "Inaccurate data is useless."

"But as long as the error is within the required standards, it's fine."

Teresica laughed so excitedly, "I just need to know that there are two sharp contrasts between yes and no, that's all."

.........

The royal guards held torches and captured a large number of Originium Insects near Kazdaele. They bound a batch of acidic Originium Insects in a living state, and handed over all the remaining Originium Insects to the miners to clean up the Originium Crystals and After the shell surface is removed, it is brought back in a corpse state.

Looking at the pile of messy things in front of her, Teresica ordered the waiter to set up a large pot, throw the body of the Originium worm into it, cook it, remove all the skin and flesh, and then smash the shell into small pieces.

Warfarin looked on with confusion on her face.She didn't understand what this kid was going to do, or what the results of experiments conducted in this environment would be.

But she didn't do anything that would interfere. This was her respect for the experiment.

After getting a lot of fragments of Originium worm shells, Teresica began to collect these things and put them away, and at the same time she began to mutter as if reciting them.

"Removing impurities...anyway, it is either resistant to high temperatures or acid and alkali. However, there are limits to what high temperatures can remove, and acid and alkali removal is more effective..."

"and many more!"

Warfarin suddenly spoke at this time, "Do you want to use acid source stone worms to...purify this pile of corpse remains?"

"Ah."

Teresica nodded, looked back and was surprised to find that Warfarin had already changed into experimental protective gear.

"Let me do it. Acid is not a fun thing. You go to the side and I'll do it."

"Oh, alright."

He honestly stepped aside. Warfarin was a professional, so it was indeed safer to leave it to her.But for him to direct...a master's degree supervisor from outside the industry?

Teresica said it casually a few times, and Warfarin completely understood what he meant.She first mixed the acid solution taken out of the mouthparts of the acid worm, then poured it into the mixing pot little by little according to the concentration, and stirred it with the worm's shell. Finally, she poured the soda ash mixture into it to start neutralizing it.

After repeated rinses, a pile of blackened residue was placed in front of Teresica.

"Is this enough?" Warfarin looked at the pile of things suspiciously, "What if the things you want are removed instead?"

"Then try again."

Teresica directly used Originium technology to dry these residues and grind them into fine powder.Then he found 10 pieces of fresh meat of about the same size, wrapped the meat pieces and black powder evenly and tightly with fine cloth, and tied them with high-purity source stones.

In addition to these, he also found several similar pieces of fresh meat, wrapped them tightly in the same fine cloth, and tied them together with high-purity source stones.

"Each of you is responsible for catalyzing a source stone."

Teresica found a royal guard for each experimental sample.The self-dissipation of Source Stone energy is an extremely slow process, but if someone reversely instills energy into the Source Stone mine, this process can be accelerated!

It was already dark, but Teresica couldn't sleep at all. He couldn't wait to see the results.

Originium energy is not electrical energy, and it will not be interfered by conductive objects as quickly as a circuit. Its failure is a long process.At first, the debris between his fingers fell into the Originium component from the gap in the handle. It did not cause any material growth, but it immediately affected the operation of the Originium energy.

This made him immediately aware of the possibility of a surprise and he immediately took action.

After Warfarin asked about Teresica's sudden motive, she quickly picked up the disassembled handle and observed it carefully. After being silent for a while, she said.

"Now I understand why that old Kelsey pestered Theresia so much."

"What did you say?" he asked kindly.

"That old guy often pesters Theresia, asking her to drag you out of this house, saying it's a shame to eat, drink and have fun every day... Well, the experiment is well designed."

Warfarin said sincerely: "Although the process is really outrageous, it has the right result. I don't even know how to describe it."

"Really, hahaha..."

Teresica smiled sheepishly.

The sun slowly rises from the horizon. The royal guards have changed several batches, and they have not stopped catalyzing the Source Stone.

Finally, Teresica ordered to stop catalyzing the Source Stone. After taking personal protection, Warfarin carefully cut each cloth bag open.

Some of them were full of Origin Stone-like impurities, and some had been mostly eaten by the Origin Stone. However, the corrosion of the pieces of meat wrapped in black powder by the Origin Stone was significantly lower than that of the pieces of meat simply wrapped in cloth.

“Ah ha – that’s great!”

Warfarin hugged her excitedly, while Teresica sighed with relief. Although the experiment was successful, the motivation for initiating it was really his own wishful thinking.

After passing the throne succession ceremony, he seemed to see things around him a little differently.For example, if he looked at a chair that had been used for a long time, he could inexplicably feel that if he hit it from somewhere, the chair would be destroyed with the smallest amount of effort.And where is the hardest one that can hit others.

When he carefully observed the Originium components that had fallen into the Originium Worm powder in the handle, he found that most of the substances on them could be used to protect against acid, alkali and high temperatures.So he immediately decided to use acid to purify the substance.

With a smile on her face, Teresica walked aside alone at this time and contacted the Pardoner using fixed communication.

"Your Majesty, you..."

"The film from the mine...Andrew, does he still have Sakaz relatives here?"

"His parents passed away a long time ago. I attended the funeral on behalf of Lord Traces, Your Majesty."

"Then...wait a moment."

Teresica held down the receiver and took a deep breath. He himself was surprised why he suddenly thought of this person and had such thoughts.

After pondering alone for a while, he called the waiting Pardoner again, "Can we still find him now?"

"Your Majesty, although he uses a personal land vehicle, he is surrounded by vast deserts. He cannot reach any city directly. He must supply supplies in refugee settlements so that there are traces to follow."

"I understand...kill him...and bring the body back."

"Yes, Your Majesty."
