The First Evolution
Chapter 16 The Age of Prosperity of Alchemy
Seeing so much shining gold, von Wilke suddenly stiffened, and his eyes couldn't help but stay on it.
In fact, his financial situation in the past two years has not been very good, or to be precise, very bad.
Even the activities of the Veterans Association were turned down four times by von Wilke.
The annual trip to Bavaria to shoot skylarks is his favorite activity, but von Wilk regretted his absence this year due to the economic situation. After all, a trip there requires at least 3,000 marks, and the country is in debt crisis. He can no longer afford the money.
The reason why von Wilk was willing to travel across the ocean and return to China eleven years later was partly because of his loyalty to General Ludendorff, and partly because of the promised sum of 82,000 marks. Interest-free loan.
Excellent qualities such as loyalty and a disregard for death can also be compatible with being indolent, greedy for enjoyment, and greedy for money. This is actually the true side of most people.
Einstein should be the most powerful wise man in human history and a great master in science, but his academic greatness did not prevent him from having a bad character:
He insults China and praises the sun,
Born in Germany, he immigrated to Switzerland. He disliked the poor system in Switzerland and continued to immigrate to the Czech Republic. He stayed in the Czech Republic for two years and then returned to Germany.
Then he went from Germany to the United States, and then proposed the Manhattan Project in the United States, proposing to develop an atomic bomb to bomb his motherland, Germany.
In terms of relationships, he was even more in a mess. He cheated on his female secretary during his marriage, and he also fell in love with his cousin and his cousin's daughter at the same time. Both mother and daughter were married. He also had more than ten lovers.
In 1936, Einstein's wife died, and he soon fell in love with the Soviet female spy Margarita. While living with Margarita, he knew that Margarita was a Soviet spy, but he was willing to do so. Afterwards, Einstein met with the Soviet Deputy Consul Mikhailov and revealed all the secrets of the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union.
In addition to Einstein, geniuses like Edison who appear in textbooks are actually geniuses with bad character and extraordinary qualities.
Nikola Tesla, truly the greatest inventor of the 20th century, whose ability to predict the future can rival Leonardo da Vinci, began working for Edison in 1884, and then was tricked to death by Edison's schemes. (Yes, that electric car brand Tesla)
Ahem, there is also Steve Jobs. The light on this man is extremely dazzling, but if you look carefully, the shadows under his feet are also particularly dark. (Please refer to Baidu for details, I won’t go into details)
Therefore, the kind of person who brings all the virtues together cannot exist in this world.
Faced with such a very convincing thing as gold, von Wilke took a deep look, his Adam's apple twitched up and down, but did not say anything.
Of course, I didn’t say no.
I saw him coming to Max again and inspecting him very carefully.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a large syringe. The needle was shining coldly and was quite thick. It plunged hard into Max's lumbar spine, making everyone around him tremble and feel their scalps numb. , there is an illusion of empathy.
Immediately afterwards, a large tube of yellow-red liquid was pulled out from Max's lumbar spine. If you look carefully, the red blood inside is filled with intertwined blood threads, which are constantly swimming as if they have a life of their own. move.
Von Wilk asked the goat to take out a bowl from the side, drip the extracted liquid into it, and then took out a strange box from the suitcase he carried with him.
This box does not look like a medical box carried by a doctor. There are obvious traces of metal rust on the surface. If you look closely, the pattern is actually a monster with a human face and a bird's body, struggling in pain among the six-pointed star. There is also a stick inserted next to the box. A quill pen.
Judging from the material and age of this box, it has nothing to do with a medical box, but rather something like alchemy.
However, the origins of European medicine and chemistry are inseparable from alchemy, which was popular for centuries. Gunpowder, aqua regia, bone china, etc. were all discovered by alchemists.
What’s even more exaggerated is that some alchemists think that human urine is golden, so is there gold in it?
So this man spent a lot of money to collect more than 5,000 kilograms of human urine, hoping to extract gold from it and make a fortune. However, after many refinements and many failures, he finally got only a thin layer of white Powder - Phosphorus.
Obviously, this plane has not entered the era of spiritual energy decline, and martial arts masters can even break through the limits of the human body, so alchemy, something that is inextricably linked to mysticism, must be developing quite well.
At this time, all hope of curing Max rested on von Wilke, so Fang Linyan and others just waited and watched him cure the disease through alchemy.
After von Wilke opened the box, he found that it was like a watercolor paint box, with more than twenty large and small grids separated horizontally and vertically.
Von Wilk put on his reading glasses, then used a small silver spoon to pick out a small amount of black powder from a grid, and sprinkled it into the liquid extracted from Max's lumbar spine.
Unfortunately, nothing happened.
He pondered for a while and changed the powder three times in succession.
The last time we could finally see it, after the purple powder was sprinkled, a faint white mist appeared on its surface, but that was all.
Von Wilk's face finally showed a happy look at this time, and he began to sprinkle the rest of the powder into the liquid. What these powders have in common is that they all have a light purple or black color.
After these powders were sprinkled into Max's body fluids, some reactions occurred. Some burned, some produced a large amount of white foam, and some made a crackling sound.
After the test was completed, von Wilk stood up, untied the belt and pulled it out.
Then I saw that the inner ring of the belt was filled with glass vials, which were sealed with rubber stoppers, and wax was dripped around them to block the air. There were almost twelve vials in total.
Seeing these twelve vials, Fang Linyan and others' eyes lit up. This thing should be the special medicine injection prompted by the S space.
And Von Wilk picked out two bottles, and then poured the liquid inside into a clean bowl. The liquid inside was brown-red, and exuded something like Camphor generally has a unique and pungent smell.
Then Von Wilk looked around and said:
"We need to wait ten minutes for the Erces solution to precipitate and its impurities to fall to the bottom. In this case, it will be more effective when combined with the living agent."
Fang Linyan and others nodded. Now it was von Wilke who said whatever he said. The old man probably breathed a sigh of relief now. His nervousness was fully relieved. He took out a kettle from the box and drank. A few big mouthfuls.
Fang Linyan picked up an empty bottle at this time and found that the label on it was slightly yellow, with an abstract flame drawn on it as a trademark, and several Latin letters written below, so he directly waved over to ask the tool man Goat Come and identify.
After seeing this, the goat said simply:
"This is a name, ah, no, it seems to be Victor Frankenstein Studio."
After hearing what the goat said, von Wilk immediately answered:
"That's right, this batch of living potions comes from Victor Frankenstein's studio. It's not easy to purchase their stuff now."
"Ever since the Victor Frankenstein Studio successfully received the Praise of Nicholas Flamel at the Oxford Alchemy Exhibition two years ago, they have overtaken the Archimedes Studio and the Isaac Laboratory to become the Europe’s top brand.”
"If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly at this royal auction, and when the drunkard hesitated, I decisively bid a 60% premium, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to buy it."
After listening to von Wilke's words, Fang Linyan immediately realized that not only had alchemy not died out in this world, but was directly replaced by chemistry and medicine, it had actually reached a higher level and become the current mainstream science in Europe.
Even according to von Wilke, these alchemical products are still very scarce, so they are strongly sought after by the upper class.
He couldn't help but said:
"A tribute to Nicoléme?"
Von Wilk said:
"It is a global event carried out within alchemists. It is held every five years to commend outstanding alchemists who have made positive achievements and promoted the development of alchemy. Under normal circumstances, they have received The reputation of both the alchemist and the atelier will be greatly enhanced by this honor."
Fang Linyan groaned and said:
"So that's it, so the batch of living potions you took out must be very expensive."
Von Wilk nodded and said:
"Yes, it almost consumed seventeen months of my aristocratic annuity - that's a lot of money!"
"It's just that my old friend Sir Fleming repeatedly emphasized when he wrote that he desperately needed these magical liquids to save his lungs - these poor organs have been smoked by all kinds of tobacco. It’s been forty-seven years, so I tried every means to bring these expensive little guys to Asia.”
As Von Wilk spoke, he put away the bag containing gold without leaving any trace.
Of course he would not admit that he had told a big lie. In fact, he took the initiative to mention these living potions to Sir Fleming, and highly recommended their efficacy in treating lung diseases, so Sir Fleming decided to buy them with hesitation.
And why von Wilke was so proactive? Of course, it was because there was a huge price difference to be made.
Therefore, to be more precise, the drug used to treat Max at this time was Sir Fleming's. It was very unethical for von Wilke to do so.
And he also made up his mind that he would not tell the truth about the two bottles of medicine that he had consumed. When delivering the goods, he would use the excuse that they were lost due to the long journey and a storm.
Anyway, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if Fleming gets angry because of this, he can't do anything to him.
Soon, the potion in the bowl showed an obvious layering. The top was a clear and colorless liquid, while the brown-red liquid below was particularly rich.
Von Wilke used a syringe to carefully suck out the upper layer of medicine, then added some powder to it and injected it directly into Max's lumbar spine.
Just ten seconds after injecting the drug, Max suddenly lost his voice and said:
"Hot!! So hot!!"
Then he quickly took off his pants and immediately saw that the blood vessels in his legs were bulging one by one, winding like small snakes, and his skin was red and hot.
Immediately afterwards, the muscles in his legs throbbed like cramps. Von Wilk stepped forward directly, grabbed the spasming muscles in Max's calves and began to rub them vigorously.
Obviously this was a very labor-intensive job. Not long after, Von Wilk was out of breath. Fang Linyan immediately went to help. With his participation, the twisted and knotted muscles in Max's legs were quickly forcibly removed. Knead to loosen.
Max seemed to be in great pain at this time, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead. His hands were tightly grasping the armrests of the stool next to him, and they were still shaking.
Suddenly, Max stood up, slammed his left thigh with both hands, and cursed through gritted teeth:
"So sore, so painful!!"
Then he suddenly froze and couldn't help but said:
"Am I going to stand up now?"
Fang Linyan looked at him and smiled:
"Yes, it seems that Von Wilk's treatment is very effective on you."
At this time, Von Wilk looked over in shock, because according to his common sense, his treatment would last at least three hours, and then the patient's recovery period would take a month before he could slowly stand up and recover. The health period is as long as half a year.
What kind of monster is this man? Is he still human? You can actually recover in such a short period of time!
Fortunately, in the next second, Max's body shook a few times, and then he couldn't help but sit down. This made von Wilke feel much calmer in an instant, thinking that this kid was relying on his body to get better. It's got a lot of firepower.
He didn't even think about it, could this thing survive?
It's like a person who hasn't eaten for three days. He's so hungry that he's dizzy. He might be able to hold on for a while by gritting his teeth, but no matter how hard he holds on, he won't be able to stay full.
However, Max took out a bottle of liquid next, took two sips, closed his eyes and panted for more than 20 seconds. As soon as his feet exerted strength, he stood up again.
Von Wilk coughed and said:
"Ahem, sir, you have received the best treatment, but it will still take some time for the treatment to take effect. You will definitely be able to stand up again, but not now. Please don't try again. This will seriously harm you. Body."
