Chapter 565 Producing the Serum
Looking at Sylvia who was standing some distance away from him with the box, he looked at her with raised brows as he asked, "Now, can you tell me who it was that was so anticipating of something not long ago?"
It was only after Jack had said that that finally, Sylvia came back to her senses. She went ahead and handed over the box that was carrying the ability crystal bead to Jack. After that, she took a step backwards and looked at him, waiting for him to begin the procedure.
Celine looked over with curiosity in her eyes. She couldn't help but ask, "What is that?"
"It is an ability crystal bead. It is used to give someone an ability. Rather, it is more like helping in the activation of an ability inside the body of a person." Jack responded. Of course, he possessed information about something like this considering that he had received the intermediate level of information about resources present within the stronghold domain.
The ability crystal bead was like a stimulant. The moment that it was injected into the body after it was activated and converted into a serum, it was capable of stimulating the cells inside the body of a person.
But of course, each ability crystal bead had an area of target. The one that they were currently possessing was the one that targeted the mind. So, the moment that it was injected into the body of a person, it was going to activate the cells that were related to the mind.
After these cells were activated, they were going to be strengthened. After that, a person would be able to integrate with those cells as time went by, but, they would be able to gain the ability from the first moment after the serum was consumed by the body, and the cells were activated.
That was actually the way that the ability crystal bead was functioning. Of course, there was a difference between granting an ability and activating an ability. There was a group of people that possessed an ability initially, either through birth or through acquisition.
But still, through the ability crystal bead, the cells that were responsible to a certain ability were activated, therefore granting the people that did not possess the ability that specific ability that was related to the ability crystal bead.
As Jack continued to explain about the ability crystal bead, he continued with the procedure that was required in order to be able to convert the ability crystal bead into a serum.
Sylvia was also listening in into the conversation. She had not expected that Jack was this knowledgeable. At this point, she could not help but feel a little embarrassed. After all, she was from a big stronghold, but the amount of information that she possessed was nothing compared to the one that Jack possessed.
It seemed that after she went back home, she had to make sure that she went through all the information that she could find. Currently, she could not access the information unless her aunt sent her the information.
But if the information was sent over and she received it, then, the location that she was currently in was going to be revealed. And if that was the case, then, the person that her brother had sent over to look for her was definitely going to be able to arrive here way faster than expected.
Jack on the other hand proceeded with the procedure. First, he ground the entire thing, turning it into powder. Of course, he did not do that using his physical strength, rather, he used the equipment that were present inside the room.
After grinding it into powder, he began burning it inside a container. He increased the temperatures to a high degree, increasing it drastically until the moment that the entire powder was turned completely red.
After that, Jack just continued heating the powder. He did so until it melted completely until it melted. Immediately after it had completely melted, Jack stopped the heating.
Instead, he went ahead and began cooling it down using hydrogen liquid. And of course, the moment that he began using the hydrogen liquid, the temperatures within the room suddenly dropped drastically.
It was a good thing that the liquid was not exposed directly into the air. But instead, it was injected into the container that was possessing the melted ability crystal bead.
The moment that the hydrogen liquid touched the melted ability crystal bead, the ability crystal bead suddenly began freezing, and in no time, it had completely cooled down before it was again turned back into solid.
After he was done with this, Jack took the frozen ability crystal bead out of the container. Then, he began heating it at a temperature of a boat 600° c. The ice that was covering the ability crystal bead began melting.
After a while, the temperature of the ability crystal bead begin rising. But of course, Jack was not going to let it melt again. Instead, after he ensured that there was no coldness on the ability crystal bead that was currently in a weird shape, Jack stopped the heating.
Immediately after that, he began grounding it again. After it was turned into a powder, he took another solution that was pale purple in color. Immediately after that, he dissolved the grounded ability crystal powder inside.
The moment that the powder touched the liquid, there was the sound of something hot touching an extremely cold surface. At the same time, vapor suddenly begun coming out of the container that was possessing the pale purple liquid.
"Is it poisonous?" Sylvia asked. After all, currently, everything that Jack was doing right now was not done inside a lab that was meant for research and dealing with things like this. So, she was afraid that perhaps they were supposed to be putting on masks during the time that this vapor was coming out.
"If it was poisonous, don't you think that I would be the first person that would die?" Jack questioned back sarcastically. Immediately after that, he ignored Sylvia completely, and simply focused on continuing with what he was doing.
After about 30 seconds, the reaction between the liquid and the powder had finally completed. The powder on the other hand had completely dissolved into the pale purple liquid.
It was just that, after the powder was dissolved into the liquid, the color of the liquid had changed completely. Now, it was no longer pale purple, rather, it was golden in color. It actually took the color of the ability crystal bead.
Of course, something that the group could see was that the amount of liquid that was currently present was so low as compared to the amount of pale purple liquid that was used to dissolve the ability crystal powder.
Initially, there was about 500 ml of it. But right now, it was just about 1 or 2 ml. Of course, the procedure was not completed yet. So, after the dissolution of the ability crystal powder was completed, Jack took the solution and placed it inside another machine.
This machine was in the shape of an oven, and it actually functioned just like an oven. It was just that the temperatures inside this machine was several degrees higher than a normal oven.
After placing it inside there, Jack decided to do something else. And of course, he decided that he was going to try and manufacture something that was going to be used to improve their abilities. It was just that the resources that they currently possessed was not enough to be able to produce anything important that was capable of affecting them.
But still, he was trying to see if there was a chance that he was going to be able to create something that was capable of improving Samantha's abilities. After all, he had already promised her that he was going to give her something.
But until now, he had not given her anything considering that he had been previously expecting that he was going to use something that he was going to gain after the multiplication of what he was going to receive from the Panthers organization.
"How long is it going to take for it to be completed?" Sylvia asked. Of course, she had to get impatient because this was something big for her. To be able to gain a special ability, that was something that many people within the entire Stronghold domain yearned for.
"It should take about 1 hour or so. But after that, there is yet another procedure that is required before the completion." Jack responded without even looking at her.
Sylvia did not respond. But at the same time, she just complained in her mind, 'Why is it taking so long? I thought that this thing was going to take a very short time. After that, I would be able to gain an ability.'
It had already been about an hour and a half ever since Jack began the procedure of creating the serum. Each and every process that he was involving during this time was actually consuming some time, so, it was obviously going to take some time before it was finally completed.
On the other side, Jack was thinking about what he was supposed to do. After thinking for a while, he finally decided that he was going to produce something that was going to be required by several organizations within this small stronghold.
Currently, whatever it was that he produced was not actually multiplied by the system by 100 times. For that reason, he could only produce something that was not present within this small stronghold, and after that, he could sell it for something big.
Of course, if he sold it, whatever he was going to get was going to be considered as income. And of course, he was not going to take the star coins as a form of payment, rather, he was going to take something else, something that was capable of improving someone's strength.
