Chapter 197 Harold: Scoring 2 goals
On Thursday, Harold arrived at the viewing pavilion outside the Ordinance Hall five minutes before the appointed time, holding his notes.
A man with silver hair, silver eyebrows, thin brows and eyes, and wearing a green scholar's suit was already waiting there.
"Radu?" Harold asked as if to confirm.
"Yes, it's me. Good morning, Harold-senpai."
The silver-haired man, Radu, glanced at Harold. He was wearing a long blue cloak and his clothes were adorned with many gold ornaments. His clothes, which were completely different from those of a scholar, suggested that he had successfully graduated.
very young.
By the way, he is only sixteen years old, younger than me, but he is already a mentor in the academy.
Thinking that the person in front of him was the youngest mentor in the history of the College of Religious Affairs, Radu felt a little uneasy.
"Good morning." Harold politely replied, and then went straight to the point.
"I learned about your research project from my partner, 'The Heart of Jia Rang'? I think it's a very valuable research."
"...real?"
Radu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't believe that he had received praise from the recognized genius in the academy.
In the House of Religion, which places special emphasis on individual talent, he was particularly surprised that Harold was willing to patiently talk with scholars like him who had repeatedly suffered setbacks in their studies.
Haroldt smiled and nodded. "Besides, your project is highly compatible with the subject I am currently working on. If you are willing, I would like to fund you to complete this research."
Radu was completely stunned. He even couldn't believe his ears.
Harold, this famous person from Amirido Academy wants to invest in my project? He really thinks highly of my research!
If the above may be just polite words, investment is real support.
Radu didn't expect that happiness would come so suddenly. He originally just wanted to be Harold's student and ask Harold for some guidance.
"I'd like to... No, I'm very honored!" Radu's voice trembled a little when he said this.
You're being a little too enthusiastic. This makes me feel like I'm kidnapping someone. Please don't give me any more inexplicable guilt.
Harold twitched the corners of his mouth in his heart.
Ignoring Radu's fiery gaze, Harold smiled calmly and said, "I heard from my partner that you want to be my student?"
Radu calmed down a little at this moment. He looked away and scratched his cheek:
"Yes, I heard about your deeds from my teacher a long time ago, and later a kind businessman's advice inspired me.
You have just started recruiting students, and I am not clear about your admissions criteria. I have not yet completed my studies, but if you are willing to accept me, I promise to complete all the required courses within six months. "
"Okay, I'll wait. You can contact me through Mr. Dolly at any time after you finish your studies." Harold said.
agreed?
It's that simple?
Radu widened his eyes slightly. He was prepared to deal with all kinds of difficulties from Harold, but Harold agreed to his unreasonable request without asking anything.
Scholars of Harold's level could have established more rules and strictly controlled the quality of students.
This incident had such a huge impact on him that he didn't even feel surprised in time.
"Oh, by the way, just in case I have to ask, you should know the necessary requirements to become my student, right?" Harold asked.
When Harold asked this, Radu didn't react for a moment. He was stunned for two seconds and immediately replied:
"I know. You don't have to pay me. As your student, I am not qualified to ask for extra compensation from you. You are still willing to invest in my project... You have helped me a lot. I am really grateful to you."
Woc, that's right! In the 21st century, this is a qualified leek!
With his personality, it is no wonder that according to the original trajectory of the game, he would be oppressed to death by an unscrupulous mentor.
But now his mentor is me, a mentor with conscience, integrity and morality, so the tragedy of the original work will not happen again.
Harold sighed and sighed, and nodded immediately:
"That's no problem. In today's society, scholars with excellent moral character like you are rare."
Harold: Really, it's been a long time since I met such a pure black... ahem, student.
Radu lowered his eyes and scratched his head embarrassedly.
Harold: "Also, I carefully read the research report you left at Dolly's place a few days ago. I think your method of making B... uh, 'Jia Rang's Heart' can be improved."
I almost said ethylene. It turns out that we should be careful when saying this term, Harold thought.
When talking about research, Radu immediately became serious. He looked at Haroldt with curiosity in his eyes:
"Teacher, please tell me how I can improve. I also found some problems in the experiment.
For example, every time I make the Heart of Jia Rang, I have no way of judging the amount it produces, and I don’t know if other substances are mixed into the collected gas…”
"Take it step by step," Harold gestured to stop, and after Radu shut up, he continued with a gentle face.
"First, the ingredients you chose. You discovered that as long as you mixed a specific alchemical potion with an apple, you could create the 'Heart of Jia Rang'?"
"Yes, in fact, not only apples, but many rotten fruits can be used as raw materials for 'Jia Rang's Heart'. The effect will be better if they are fermented into fruit wine.
I think the yield of 'Jia Rang's Heart' is related to the alcohol concentration, because I distilled the fruit wine before using it, and its yield has increased significantly.
So later I simply gave up on the fruit and bought some industrial alcohol from the Fontaine merchant in Port Ormos to replace distilled liquor, and the effect was indeed better. "
Radu told Haroldt his current research results without reservation, including those contents that he did not write in his research notes.
So the production method chosen by Radu is actually the most common method in the laboratory, heating alcohol and sulfuric acid together?
Fontaine's industrial alcohol... is fine, but the alchemical potion used by Radu is not sulfuric acid...
None of the existing alchemical potions completely match the characteristics of sulfuric acid. Harold is almost certain that the 'Heart of Jiarang' made by Radu contains a lot of other gases besides ethylene.
But he has had it hard, Harold thought.
In Teyvat, where there is no periodic table and even the chemical composition of ethylene has not been determined, it is not easy to achieve this through speculation and experiments alone.
Harold rubbed his forehead, thought carefully and then said:
"Well... maybe you can try changing the ingredients. I have an ancient notebook left by an alchemist from my hometown.
There are some unrecorded potions and some strange symbols on it. I will give it to my mentor in a few days. You can make some potions according to the above process.
But I can’t say if it can help you, after all, I haven’t tried it.”
Finally I decided to cheat and skip classes, it's not the first time after all, Harold thought secretly.
