Chapter 79 Making 'Adventurous Spirit'
Mu You took out the Fool's card, carefully read the instructions on the back of the card several times, and after contemplating for a while, an idea gradually came to his mind.
He took out the pistol he picked up in Qubai Mountain yesterday, loaded the magazine, and opened the safety.
Then he looked around, fixed the pistol on a table a few meters away, tied a wire to the trigger, and connected it to his experimental table.
After finishing all the preparations, Mu You stood in front of the table, pointed the muzzle of the gun directly at his head, held the watch in his left hand, and pulled the string with his right hand. After exhaling, he exerted force with his right hand.
"Boom!"
The long wire was pulled, the trigger was pulled, and a bullet was fired from the muzzle of the gun, hitting his head straight.
And at the moment when the bullet was fired, the transparent spherical barrier around Mu You was once again covered, similar to the scene in the forest that day, everything outside the barrier became extremely slow, including the bullet.
This bullet, which fires at a speed of close to 300 meters per second, slows down to a speed that any normal person can easily catch with the naked eye under the deceleration of 360 times.
The table where the pistol was fixed was about three meters away from Mu You, and the bullet flew for nearly four seconds in his perspective before it barely entered the range of the enchantment.
"Sure enough...but the bullets fly too fast..."
Mu You shook his head, and pressed his pocket watch.
Four seconds are too late for him to do things, because it takes at least 10 minutes to prepare a potion, and the time converted to outside the barrier is 1.66 seconds, that is to say, the flight time of the bullet must exceed 1.66 seconds.
Based on the average bullet speed of 300 meters per second, he needs to be more than 500 meters away from the pistol!
500 meters...Not to mention where did he find such a large venue, more importantly, ordinary firearms can't reach the range of 500 meters.
"It works in principle, but the method needs to be improved..."
Mu You scratched his chin and pondered for a while, then went upstairs to the warehouse to find some copper wires and iron sheets, as well as a remote control toy that was scrapped when he was a child.
The toy was disassembled, and the various parts and circuit boards inside were taken out, and a simple delay trigger was made with an electric soldering iron and copper wire.
This busy work took him more than three hours directly, which made Mu You, a graduate of the electrical department, quite emotional. After graduation for many years, his hands-on ability has indeed plummeted.
Came back to his senses, Mu You fixed the trigger on the pistol wrench.
Since the bullet is fired too fast, don't let it actually fire, just create an adventurous atmosphere.
So he adjusted the time of the delay trigger to 7 seconds. After he pressed the remote control switch on his side, the other side had to wait for 7 seconds before shooting, which was regarded as giving him two seconds of adjustment time.
Of course, Mu You is actually not sure whether this idea can work, so let’s try it first.
Standing at the gunpoint again, Mu You squeezed the pocket watch tightly with his left hand, and pressed the remote control with his right hand.
As a result, half a second passed, and there was no movement around him.
Mu You wasn't too surprised by this, after all, he couldn't feel any tension in his heart now.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly turned his back to the gun, and silently said in his mind, 'I won't move a step for the next ten seconds'.
This sentence is not just a simple idea, but an extremely serious plan.
He kept hinting to himself that even if death was imminent, he would definitely carry out this order resolutely.
And at the moment when this thought came up, Mu You only felt his body lighten up, and a familiar sense of peace enveloped him.
Opening his eyes, sure enough, the transparent mask has appeared in front of him again.
Mu You breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that he guessed right. The triggering of the Fool's enchantment is only a part of the environment, and the more important thing is the psychological factor. As long as he can think from the bottom of his heart that he is in a crisis, the ending can be triggered. protection of the world.
After confirming that the Fool's Barrier can be triggered, the next thing will be much easier.
Mu You went back in time, set up the still in front of him, and made half a bottle of distilled water, which is also one of the materials described in the recipe scroll.
Then use a mortar to grind all kinds of dried herbs into powder and put them aside for later use.
After making these preparations, Mu You put the pocket watch outside the range of the enchantment, where he could reach it with his hand.
In potion refining, apart from the materials, the most important thing is the heat. For this alcohol lamp, he specially bought a **** alcohol lamp that can adjust the size of the flame, in order to cooperate with the detailed fire control on the scroll.
"The first is the herbal essence..."
Mu You took out a piece of herbal essence that he took out from the game before. The so-called herbal essence is actually a piece of light green soft waxy paste, a bit like jelly. Mu You threw the whole piece into the crucible and watched it slowly melt under the flame.
"Any kind of spiritual herb..."
Mu You randomly grabbed a spirulina from the dozens of spiritual herbs he obtained today and threw it into the crucible.
"Then there is a handful of ordinary medicinal powder as an auxiliary material..."
Mu You grabbed a small handful of ginseng powder that had just been ground next to it. In fact, he has no idea how much he needs to add, but anyway, he can try infinitely, and with a little experimentation, he can always try it out.
"Well, there is also distilled pure water...appropriate amount..."
Looking at the content described on the scroll, Mu You felt a headache. He hated the phrases like 'a handful', 'a spoonful', 'appropriate amount' the most. How big is a spoon? How big is it? Do you dare to make it clear?
Shaking his head, he pushed aside the test tube of distilled water and poured half of the tube into it, just submerged the three materials, then picked up the glass rod and started stirring.
At this time, under the heating of the flame, the inside of the crucible had already started to bubbling, and a strong bitter smell of medicine emanated from it, quickly covering the entire basement.
Mu You didn't have time to pay attention to the taste. After adding all the ingredients, the most important cooking process came next.
According to what was written on the parchment scroll, Mu You carefully stirred while adjusting the size of the flame at any time.
Seeing the medicine in the crucible turn from yellow to red, then green, and finally began to faintly black...
Mu You felt that something was wrong, because according to the description in the recipe, the final plaster should be bright green, and the lighter the color, the better. Why did it turn black?
Sure enough, another three minutes later, the entire crucible exploded with a 'snap'.
The pot was not fried, but the black hot sticky matter inside was completely fried, splashing everywhere.
Mu You wiped off the black ointment on his face depressedly.
Obviously, the first potion preparation in life ended in failure.
"Could it be that the auxiliary medicine is useless?" Mu You thought.
It is mentioned in the formula that the medicinal properties of the auxiliary medicine should also match the medicinal properties of the main medicine as much as possible. So, maybe ginseng powder does not meet the requirements? Then try something else.
Mu You was not discouraged, and immediately went back in time, and then started the second attempt.
"Snapped!"
As a result, it exploded faster this time than last time.
"Again!"
the third time…
"Backtrack!"
the fourth time…
…
After going back more than a hundred times in a row, Mu You tried all kinds of combinations of medicinal materials, and finally found that among all the traditional Chinese medicines, the medicinal properties of 'Angelica' are the most compatible with Spiraea, although the result still failed, but When using 'Angelica' several times, the cooking progress can be greatly improved.
Mu You feels that the material should be chosen correctly, and the rest should be a matter of technique.
Continue to experiment and continue to fry!
In trial after trial, Mu You kept fine-tuning various cooking details.
After 421 consecutive failures, the 422nd attempt, finally! He completed all the steps perfectly, the crucible did not blow up again, and the paste inside finally took shape for the first time!
At this time, what appeared in front of him was an ointment as black as ink...
