The matter of Energy Cubes stirred Fang Yuan's heart.
Turning relatively cheap Berries into highly valuable nutritional products, the profits within made Fang Yuan's heart flutter just thinking about it.
He didn't seek to get rich quick, after all, a big tree attracts the wind.
But if he could secretly use Energy Cubes himself, it would, in a sense, solve the resource problem of Pokémon training.
With one less middleman making the price difference, the cost of Pokémon training would be greatly reduced.
However, Fang Yuan didn't get too happy too soon.
The entire production process of Energy Cubes was something he had fantasized about; whether he could actually make them on his own was still a big question.
"Daydreaming is harmless, you should be bold and try if you have an idea."
After Fang Yuan finished eating with Lin Jing and Liu Le, he continued to go back to class.
The afternoon class was mainly for Lin Jing and Liu Le, because comparatively speaking, Eevee's shortcomings weren't that many.
Currently, Eevee's biggest problem was the lack of long-range attack moves.
Regarding this problem, Zhuang Xin gave an answer that reassured Fang Yuan.
"Within half a year, we will help your Eevee Grasp 2-3 new moves, Shadow Ball being one of them."
After getting this answer, Fang Yuan could be said to have breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really clueless about the training method for Shadow Ball. If Zhuang Xin hadn't said that she would teach it later, Fang Yuan would have almost dragged Eevee to sleep in a graveyard!
...
After class.
Fang Yuan said goodbye to Lin Jing and Liu Le.
He couldn't wait to try making Energy Cubes.
As for Berries, there were still several kinds left at home, almost all of which were Eevee's favorite flavors.
There was also a rotary mixer at home.
Compression could be done through Magnemite's Psychic Power, and the solidification process... should be related to temperature. Could there be a cooling device in the Berry Blender?
Logically speaking, the solidification process should require cooling... so Fang Yuan considered it and spent several hundred yuan at the Liquid Nitrogen Ice Cream Shop on the street for a bottle of liquid nitrogen.
If it were before, this bottle of liquid nitrogen would be enough for him to play with for a long time.
But now, he was going to do serious business.
Returning home, Fang Yuan released Eevee and also called out Magnemite.
"Eevee, you go play by yourself first... As for Magnemite, you and I will do an experiment together."
"Buui?"
Eevee narrowed its eyes, very curious about what Fang Yuan and Magnemite were going to tinker with, and refused to leave.
"Seriously... then you just watch from the side." Fang Yuan waved his hand.
Magnemite: ╮(⊙-⊙)╭
Eevee: (￣︶￣)
The two Pokémon have a strong smell of gunpowder...
Fang Yuan didn't have time to guess their little thoughts. After preparing, he took out two different colored Berries.
In theory, any Berry can be made into an Energy Cube, but what the effect of the Energy Cube will be, and the quality, depends on the recipe and technique.
This is a process that maximizes the utilization of Berry energy. In addition, the nutrients between different Berries can be perfectly integrated and undergo qualitative changes, which is very magical.
"Magnemite, after the Berry Blender stops, you use Psychic Power to control a ball of fruit puree inside to cool down above the liquid nitrogen," Fang Yuan said.
"Remember, just use Psychic Power to control the fruit puree!"
With Magnemite's current control, Psychic Power can accurately control objects, and the range can be changed at will. Fang Yuan is not very worried that the Berry Blender will also be damaged. However, he still needs to remind Magnemite in advance, just in case. The liquid nitrogen has already cost him a lot of money. If this Berry Blender breaks down again, it will really be "a beating from mom."
"Kuo Yi!" Magnemite nodded.
"Very good, then let's begin."
Under the gaze of Eevee and Magnemite, Fang Yuan began to pour the chopped pulp into the Berry Blender. After adjusting the speed to the maximum, the Berry chunks were quickly crushed, and the juice mixed and settled into a muddy dross, which was slightly different from ordinary fruit...
Seeing that the Berry chunks had been completely crushed, Fang Yuan quickly cut off the power and opened the lid.
At the same time, Magnemite also used Psychic Power to compress a ball of fruit puree, and then moved it above the liquid nitrogen.
Whoosh!
After cooling, a frozen lump of fruit puree ice appeared.
"..." Fang Yuan.
This is definitely not an Energy Cube!
Dark cuisine... was born just like that.
Fang Yuan took the fruit puree ice block, coughed dryly, and then handed it to Eevee, saying:
"Want to try it?"
"Bu Yi..."
Eevee showed a disgusted look, took a lick, and then shivered and shook its head.
It seemed to be saying, you should try it yourself.
"This color is not right... Energy Cubes should be relatively pure and transparent in color, obviously... the impurities have not been cleaned up yet."
Fang Yuan poured out the remaining fruit puree from the Berry Blender.
At this time, the nutrients of the Berry had almost been lost.
"Let's be more detailed next time." Fang Yuan scratched his head and said.
"Magnemite, you use these to experiment first, try to control the fruit puree into small cube shapes for compression, the shape just now was really terrible."
One failure doesn't mean anything.
You have to know that even with ready-made machines, the production of Energy Cubes is very particular. Fang Yuan didn't expect to succeed in one or two tries.
The details of the production process definitely need to be improved and conceived.
Half an hour later, after practicing with large bowls of fruit puree, Magnemite's Psychic Power could barely grind a small lump of fruit puree into a cube shape.
Judging from the shape alone, it was no different from the Energy Cubes in Fang Yuan's memory.
Fang Yuan felt that this shape might be the most stable structure for energy.
"Without a doubt, the liquid nitrogen was bought in vain. Solidification shouldn't rely on low-temperature freezing, and the most important point... is that there's a problem with the process of removing impurities."
"Perhaps it should spin for a while longer, spin faster."
In the game, the quality of the Energy Cubes is related to the rotation speed. Fang Yuan has already turned the speed of the household blender to the maximum, and now he can only make changes in time.
During this experiment, Fang Yuan and Magnemite didn't discover anything, but Eevee suddenly frowned and touched the blender.
During the high-speed rotation of the blender, Eevee faintly felt that the energy in the Berry seemed to be attracted by a Centrifugal Force, located in the center, while other impurities had a tendency to be thrown outward by the Centrifugal Force.
After noticing this, Eevee vividly performed and described it to Fang Yuan, making Fang Yuan thoughtful.
"So, the place where energy is most concentrated is the core of the rotation?"
"I understand."
Because Eevee has practiced Counter Shield, it is very sensitive to the rotation of energy, so its suggestion is very valuable.
After Fang Yuan turned off the machine, Eevee discovered that the energy dispersed again the moment the rotation stopped.
"Eevee!" Eevee reminded, causing Fang Yuan to frown.
If that's the case, Magnemite's task will be even more arduous.
"Magnemite, next you only have a moment to use Psychic Power to tightly wrap the most core fruit puree, quickly take it out, and compress it," Fang Yuan said.
Magnemite indicated that it understood.
However, the first time, it failed...
The second time, it still failed. Eevee immediately became teary-eyed. These were all its Berries! (╥﹏╥)
As the Berries at home became less and less, and Magnemite became more and more tired... Fang Yuan shook his head.
It seems that it is impossible to do it in a short time. Magnemite's Grasp of Psychic Power is too low to quickly lock the energy.
Moreover, Fang Yuan also discovered a problem, that is, even after high-speed rotation, the core still has impurities.
It seems that even if Magnemite can successfully take out the core part perfectly, it still needs to be further purified to remove impurities.
Fang Yuan had a hunch that this step was the key to making Energy Cubes, and it was also closely related to solidification.
