Scene 66 New Haven Daily Journal

The standardization of chemical instruments in this era has not been completely unified.

Tom looked at the food residue for a while before starting the experiment.

"Doug, I suspect it's heavy metal, this red is abnormal." Tom said while fucking.

Doug heard the heavy metal and thought of what Madison had introduced before, and used copper slices to make soup. He nodded and said, "I think this is possible, too."

With Doug's remaining chemical literacy, it is not difficult to understand Tom's operations.

But for McGill and Madison, they couldn't understand it at all.

It's okay for McGill. He has lost his excessive curiosity at this age. He admits that due to the differences in division of labor, he has no idea what each other is engaged in.

Madison, who had not received a higher education, couldn't do it anymore. Seeing these strange instruments, he couldn't help asking McGill next to him in a low voice, "Is this alchemy?"

“…”

McGill was silent, and he didn't know how to answer.

Doug happened to hear Madison's question, thinking that this little brother might be in charge of a career in the future and could not always be so ignorant, so he explained, "This is called chemistry, not alchemy. However, it has a little something to do with alchemy. Although it is also magical, it cannot really turn gold out of thin air."

Doug's slightly official explanation made Madison feel a little disappointed.

According to legends Madison has heard, wizards who know how to alchemy are very rich.

They don’t have to produce, farm, or work, and they can get so much money. Isn’t it because alchemy can create something out of nothing and turn it into gold?

Even, he was just wondering if Boss Doug was so rich, it was because of alchemy.

In normal times, Tom, who doesn't even want to see anyone, and doesn't want to talk.

When doing the experiment, I had to talk a lot.

While he was dropping reagent with his hands very steadily, he asked, "Doug, do you know how the dyes on the market are made?"

"Chemical synthesis?" Doug asked. In his impression, the cheap dyes used on a large scale were synthesized through chemical means.

"Hey? Chemical synthesis? This is indeed a good direction! I want to try it when I have time! But! All the dyes on the market are either mineral dyes or plant dyes.

The ingredients of plant dyes are more complicated, and even I can't detect all the ingredients. However, as long as the dyes extracted from non-toxic plants are almost harmless to the human body.

The dyes in food are basically plant dyes.

However, the cost of extracting plant dyes is higher and the price is more expensive, so some vendors will use mineral dyes to replace plant dyes.

The color does not look much different. However, the color-producing substances in mineral dyes are mainly heavy metal compounds, so it is normal to get poisoned after taking it."

Doug had never heard of Tom's research on dyes before, "When did you study it?"

"This is not what I care about. I don't have much interest in this. My brother likes dyes very much and hates those black-hearted vendors who shame dyes. In order to summarize the different toxicities of different dyes, he tasted a lot of dyes himself and rolled on the ground in pain from time to time. However, he will not suffer anymore."

"Why?" Madison asked again.

"Because... he was sent to heaven by me."

"Sent to heaven?" Madison was puzzled.

"Tom's hobby is to synthesize explosives. His whole family, except himself, went to see God because of an experimental accident." Doug said.

Tom waited for Doug to explain and said to Madison, "Aren't you interested in 'alchemy'? Do you want to come in and help?"

Madison's face changed a few times, and he said in a very difficult voice, "No... don't..."

He doesn't want to speak anymore.

How could he think of a child who looked a few years younger than him who actually exploded his family?

Madison felt that he was not soft-hearted, but after so many years of fighting in the waiter's war, he had never killed a single person.

The people the boss knows are monsters.

Madison looked at the pit at Doug's feet. He was originally wondering why the ground was unfair. Now that he knew the reason, he also wanted to dig a pit for himself so that even if he was blown to death, he would be more decent.

Twenty minutes passed.

Tom's experiment finally came to an end.

He used a method that Doug didn't know very well, so he tested the final reaction product and said, "Dog, the residue contains lead. It is lead tetraoxide and Danhong. My brother has also eaten it. It is usually made into paint to prevent the iron from rusting."

"Thank you." McGill first thanked Daog, and then expressed his gratitude to Tom.

Doug raised his arm a little reluctantly and patted McGill on the shoulder, "Don't worry, there will be no sequelae. Milk is very useful for acute heavy metal poisoning. You can drink more milk in the next few days."

"vomit!"

Before Doug could finish his speech, McGill started to retching.

The milk stuffing like French cramming has already made McGill want to vomit when he hears the word "milk".

"Okay, there are still sequelae." Doug said, spreading his hands.

...

When Doug was soothing, Anton came to the New Haven Daily.

Since the Industrial Revolution, both papermaking and printing have made great progress. At the same time, the importance of information has become increasingly prominent.

Therefore, as an emerging media, newspapers play more and more roles in society and have a deeper and deeper influence.

When the newspapers were just emerging, Anton's father discovered that the effect of publishing hotel advertisements in the newspapers was extremely good.

Therefore, for many years, the Anton family's hotels have purchased advertising seats in newspapers in various regions.

Andong Little is also very familiar with the president of New Haven Daily because of this.

"Shar, I want you to check someone for me! Doug Clayden! Yale Wolsey's illegitimate son, I want him to be shameless and continue in New Haven! He is a scum! He is a demon!"

Anton added fuel to the fire and said the matter of "Doug bullying and blackmailing money" more and more.

He said in a loud voice, "Shar, such a bad guy must be not a good person! I want you to investigate his black history!

Let him stay in New Haven, Yale, and America!”

Shire looked at Anton's fierce expression and knew that the financial backer had always been pestering him. If he didn't solve the problem, although he would not lose the long-term advertisements of the New Haven Hotel, it would be a bit troublesome.

He pressed the small bell on the table and said to the secretary who was opening the door, "Call Roman."

"Roman, there is an investigation and interview task to you. Doug Clayden. I want you to investigate the truth clearly. We are objective and fair media, so don't let go of any bad guys."
