Yu Wen Wen was studying things in the room. He fiddled with a wooden box on the desk, which contained a lens group composed of suspected prism and two glass bowl fragments. This was the spectrometer created by the alchemy Taoist Liu Yanggu.

Spectrum is a necessary device for spectral analysis. After experiencing the initial excitement, Yu Wenwen calmed down. After all, with the theoretical and technical level of this era, even if spectral analysis occurs, its effect is limited.

In other words, this spectroscopy (spectral analysis) is useless to him.

Chemical analysis is first qualitative and second qualitative. Qualitative means determining what substances are in the sample, and quantification means determining how much substances are in the sample. However, during his lifetime, Yu Wenwen dared not expect that this primitive spectrometer can achieve the quantitative step.

This requires strong support from chemistry, physics (optics), mathematics-related fields. He is not a top student. The knowledge level of chemistry, physics, and mathematics is still in high school, and it is a problem to recall how much he can recall it.

Spectroscopy analysis appeared in the 19th century, which was the industrial age. There were many technological powers in chemistry and physics to study, and spectroscopy analysis was gradually improved. Therefore, Yu Wenwen, who was in the agricultural era, had a self-knowledge and had to look at the food.

Quantitative and precise analysis of the metal content in ores and alloys may not be possible in this life.

Even if the quantity is not done in a quantitative manner, it will not affect iron and steel making. Anyway, it is not necessary to make carburized armor, build artifacts for multi-rivet steaming steel, make swords, guns, arrows, iron plows, shovels, hoes, and picks at the current smelting level.

The key is qualitativeness. Yuwen Wen thinks qualitativeness is useful, at least you can know whether there is iron, copper, lead or gold and silver in the ore, that is, assist in prospecting. This is better than a secretive ancient exploration method.

But after thinking about it quietly, I felt that relying on spectral analysis to assist in prospecting was a waste of time. This cross-age spectrum analysis seems to be far-reaching and incomprehensible thirst.

In ancient times, there were various names for various ores, and it was difficult to "seamlessly connect with the mineral names of later generations". Yu Wenwen did not intend to become a prospecting expert. The only thing he cares about was four metals: gold, silver, copper and iron, so these four ores needed to be explored.

Gold, silver and copper are money, and no one can get along with money, while iron is an indispensable resource for building weapons and tools. Yuwen Wen only feels that no amount of iron is enough.

Iron is the most preferred, but even so, he doesn't have to go to prospecting. It is known that there is a super-large iron mountain and a certain scale of copper mountain, which is near Bazhou, and he will sooner or later snatch it.

Daye, a super iron mine, was mined on a large scale for nearly a thousand years since the Tang Dynasty. Until the Westernization Movement of the late Qing Dynasty, Hanyeping Company used Daye's iron ore as raw material to make steel.

Baizhi Mountain near Daye is rich in copper mines. Historically, after the Sui Dynasty pacified Chen, King Yang Guang of Jin smelted copper and cast coins in Baizhi Mountain. These two places are opposite Bazhou, and the boundary of Wuchang County, Yingzhou, Chen State, was the place that Yuwen Wen had always dreamed of.

As a result, Chen Guo was indifferent to the treasure and showed no signs of large-scale development, which made him feel that he was occupying the pit and not shit.

With super iron ore, not to mention military weapons, the ironization of armor has become a reality, and the ironization of civilian tools is not a dream. Iron plows, shovels, iron sickles, iron hoes, and iron pickaxes are fully popularized, whether it is farming or water conservancy construction, it will be twice the result with half the effort.

In this way, the only purpose of spectrum analysis is to find gold and silver ores. In the long Dabie Mountains, there will be some gold and silver ores. They mobilize mountain people to explore everywhere and then bring the ore to analyze, and at least they can determine whether there is gold and silver inside.

No one dislikes the gold and silver mines, but it takes time from exploration to mining. This is not a very urgent thing for Yuwen Wen, who makes money with glass mirrors. It is also making money, and the status of the two is incomparable.

The glass mirror was a timely help for Yuwen Wen, allowing him to make a lot of money back in a short time with a very small cost, and it alone supported the important task of paying military salaries to support soldiers. Finding gold and silver mines is the icing on the cake.

Looking at the original spectrometer, Yu Wen Wen was a little helpless, but the spectrometer that the alchemy Taoist Liu Yang accidentally discovered was thought to be passed on, so he had to find something to do.

"Just treat it as spending money to run charity... No, if you make the finished product of the spectrometer and sell it to those Taoist priests who refine alchemy, it might be a big deal!"

Yuwen Wen couldn't help but look happy when he thought of this. He felt that he had found a new way of wealth. Although the profit may not be very high, although the ants are small, they are still meat, and no one will think that they have too much money.

What is the alchemy map? Immortality! Who doesn’t want to live forever these days? Even if you can’t really live forever, it should be okay to live longer and prolong your life, that’s a huge ‘market demand’.

Where can I buy elixirs? Of course, I am looking for alchemists. Faced with such a huge market demand, alchemists are naturally studying alchemist and want to refine good elixirs to "serve customers".

Alchemists of this era are similar to later chemists who engage in chemical research and naturally require equipment and scientific research instruments. Yu Wenwen feels that he can be an instrument supplier and sell "high-tech" instruments to these alchemists.

If the elixir cannot be refined, if the elixir has diarrhea after taking it, the elixir will die! What should I do?

This Taoist priest wants to know what should not be too much in the pill? Do you want to know what should not be too little in the pill? This is a treasure splitting mirror, which can help the Taoist priest to see clearly!

This treasure is not expensive, only a few thousand guan. Doesn’t the Taoist priest want a treasure that can see through the secrets of heaven?

If you don’t have enough money, sell your kidneys... It’s enough to sell elixirs! Still not enough? If you ask the pilgrims to buy it, donate it. Anyway, believers donate land and land, so don’t have any problem. Donating a splitter is not a problem, right?

When he thought of this passionate advertising slogan, Yuwen Wen seemed to see countless copper coins coming towards him, and how exciting it was when the alchemists lined up to buy it.

Are alchemists poor? Poor! Are alchemists rich? Rich!

Just as people in the world divide the wealth and the alchemist also divide the wealth and the poor. There are many Taoist priests like Liu Yang who don’t even have a broken Taoist temple, but there are also many Taoist priests who have ancestral Taoist temples and a large number of pilgrims to offer indulgence and oil, so there are great business opportunities.

When Yuwen Wen smiled, his eyes narrowed and his mind was spinning quickly.

The principle of a spectrometer is very simple. A prism is responsible for spectrometry, and a small telescope composed of two lenses is responsible for amplifying the spectrum. Of course, the specific structure must be studied and optimized to improve performance.

The most important thing is packaging. The outer shell of the spectrometer should be cool, the inlay of gold and jade is too vulgar, and it is best to have various fantasy styles, which must be fairy-like. Taoists pursue immortality, have high taste and trickyness, and are difficult to serve.

There must be patterns such as cranes and Ganoderma lucidum, and it is best to have naked girls...uh, fairies, etc. In short, the quality of the splitting mirror must be excellent, and it must be resistant to falling and touching. After all, this treasure may not be taught by the master and apprentice, and it will be passed down from generation to generation.

No, it is not allowed to be passed down from generation to generation. Otherwise, every Taoist temple will not buy a splitter mirror. Who can I ask for?

Another problem is that the spectrometer will be copied. Others can’t make glass, so it is inevitable that they will directly polish the crystal when they are used. Therefore, the core components must be integrated and will be broken as soon as they are dismantled. If they are broken, they have to buy them again...

It’s not enough to sell splitting mirrors, and alchemy supplies have to be sold. The alchemy furnace (alchemy cauldron, alchemy cauldron) that is so small that it is too frustrating. Yuwen Wen decided to take some time to design an alchemy furnace with the "21st Century Fantasy Style" so that those alchemy Taoists want to buy it when they see it.

The name must be cool, such as Xutian Cauldron, Shennong Cauldron, Qiankun Cauldron, Panlong Cauldron, and Panlong Cauldron. How to use it atmospheric and how to use it, the quality should not be too good, so as not to buy one, but the quality should not be too bad, this is a sign that will be ruined.

Thinking of this, Yu Wen Wen suddenly had an inspiration in his mind: Alchemist is an ancient chemist, so glass experimental vessels can also be used.

What beakers, flat bottom/round bottom flasks, test tubes, conical flasks can be sold, and thermometers. These things have been made in small batches in Yuwen Wen's workshop. It is for testing purposes in your own laboratory, so there is no problem to increase the yield.

But he was worried that these things would make people feel better. If a genius could use them to perfection and make something amazing to harm him, it would be more than worth the cost.

Although it is unlikely, if any genius batches out white phosphorus, the white phosphorus incendiary bomb will be deadly!

Yuwen Wen thought more and more, and when he relaxed his thoughts, he almost couldn't take them back. However, one thing he had already confirmed was that he wanted to make money and raise Liu Yang and his apprentice. He studied this spectrometry every day, optimized the spectrometer, and sent someone to study it together. He could afford it for a few dozen people.

Use any glass experimental vessel to form an alchemy experiment... Chemistry laboratory, spectroscopy (spectral analysis) can reach the level of distinguishing common metals, and technically, it can simply assist in prospecting, so he will be satisfied.

Then, the spectrometer is commercialized and sold to those old masters who are persistent in alchemy. This is the "right way" and can also be regarded as contributing to the alchemy cause in the Central Plains.

Then, a secret book is sold, called "Visiting the Secrets of Heaven", which briefly introduces the principles of spectral analysis, and uses a simple spectrum of several common metals. The most important thing is to list the specific methods of observing these metals so that users can do experiments to observe them by themselves.

As stated in martial arts novels, it is not enough to have magic weapons alone, but it must be coordinated with synchronized mental methods and formulas. Therefore, the business opportunities for secrets are unlimited. The rich Taoist priest who is willing to spend money to buy splitter mirrors don’t care about spending more money to buy secrets.

Then the next question is: Where can I sell such a good thing?

That is, the issue of advertising. It is difficult to "advertise" these days, especially in the alchemy industry. Ordinary people care less about it. It is not easy to let Taoist priests all over the world know about the treasure of the splitting mirror.

I don’t know if there is, so I don’t have the idea of ​​buying it. How can I let the 'practice practitioners' of alchemy know that there is a sparging mirror in the world? This is a problem that Yuwen Wen has to face. He can’t hire people to look for Taoist priests all over the streets, and then ask mysteriously: “Master, have you heard of sparring mirrors…”

This is too low-level and will ruin the brand, so Yuwen Wen began to think about how to advertise again, setting off a trend of buying spherical mirrors in the alchemy industry, and he made a lot of money.

The spectrometry that seems to be useless, but now that it changes its thinking and becomes a commodity, that is, chicken legs!
