My Empire War Game

　　 "Beetroot?" Su Lun was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Where did you find it? Are there any more?"

　　 "It's on the soil **** over there, there are a lot more there." Bud said, pointing to the soil **** not far away.

　　 The two came to the soil slope. A large lush plant grew on the soil slope, which looked a bit like the radishes grown in the previous life.

　　 "Lord, this is this kind of beetroot, which my mother discovered when we were in the giant bear tribe." Bud dug out a beetroot and handed it to Suren.

Reaching out to take the beetroot, Su Lun shakes the soil off the top. The beetroot looks like a chunky radish. The root is pointed and the skin is reddish. After washing it with water, Su Lun cut off a small piece and tasted it. , A burst of sweetness fills the mouth instantly.

　　 "It's really sweet." Su Lun said in surprise, the sweetness of this beetroot is very high, much sweeter than the sugar cane he ate in his previous life.

He didn’t dare to confirm when he drank the beet soup just now, but after tasting it himself, he finally determined that these beetroots are beets from previous lives. This beet is widely grown in the north. In addition to being used as a vegetable, it One of its biggest functions is to squeeze sugar.

　　Sugar was a luxury accessory in ancient times. It was much more expensive than salt. At that time, there were not many ways to obtain sugar. Except for some fruits, only sugar was obtained from honey. There are no railways, no cars, no highways and high-speed railways, and fruits are not easy to preserve, so it is not easy to eat fruits.

　　 When I was in Karen City in the south, apart from some local fruits, there were only some preserved fruits from the desert kingdom, such as dates and raisins. Of course there are sugar and honey, but the amount of sugar is very small and the price is very expensive. These sugars are shipped from the south, and the amount is pitifully small every year.

　　 The sugar pressing process of this era is still very primitive. The sugar cane used in the South is used to squeeze the sugar. The color of the squeezed sugar is reddish brown, and the amount of white sugar is even smaller.

Surun discovered sugar beets here. As long as they are planted on a large scale, his territory will produce a large amount of white sugar every year. Although compared with salt, white sugar is not a must, or even a luxury accessory, for the nobles, these white sugars are Standing items.

　　 Actually, the difference between white sugar and brown sugar is not that big. The sugar content in it is almost the same, but the taste of brown sugar is not as good as that of white sugar. It has a bitter taste. Therefore, the prices of brown sugar and white sugar are very different, and the nobles can only use white sugar to entertain guests.

　　 If brown sugar is used to entertain guests, if it spreads out, it will be laughed at by the entire aristocratic circle.

　　 It is said that the white sugar made by the southern city-state alliance is made with the help of wizards. Most of the white sugar produced in other places is also the same, but Su Lun knows a way to make white sugar from brown sugar. The color of brown sugar is different from that of white sugar because there are impurities in it. As long as the impurities in the brown sugar are removed, the brown sugar becomes white sugar.

　　 In this era, human beings have no good way to get rid of impurities, but Su Lun knows a simple and effective way to filter out the impurities in brown sugar.

　　 "Go call everyone and collect the beetroot here." Su Lun put down the beetroot in his hand and ordered directly.

Soon all the beetroots were collected. These beets have been growing here for a long time. Many beets have already produced seeds. Su Lun also collected all these beet seeds. He is going to be in the territory. Grow sugar beets on a large area.

　　 It took three hours. Finally, all the beets on this hillside were collected. The whole hillside was already bumpy. A total of four to five hundred catties of beets were harvested, as well as a bag of beet seeds. After collecting the beets, Su Lun did not continue to explore, and directly returned to the town with everyone.

　　 As soon as he returned to the town, Su Lun called several craftsmen over to make various sugar squeezing tools. The sugar squeezing process is not difficult. Under the guidance of Su Lun, several craftsmen made a sugar squeezing machine without much effort. In fact, the sugar squeezing machine is an improvement of an oil press.

The beetroot was washed and cut into small pieces and then put into the machine for squeezing the juice. As the machine runs, after a while, a stream of red juice will flow out. These juices contain a lot of sugar. The common method of preparation is Filter out the impurities that can be seen inside and heat the sugar water to obtain sugar.

　　 Two barbarian warriors were allowed to turn the machine. The sugar water kept seeping out, and soon a bucket was filled. Su Lun reached out and dipped it in the sugar water and put it in his mouth. The sweetness was very strong.

　　 Only brown sugar is made in this way, and Su Lun must adopt another filtering method to make white sugar.

　　 What he is going to use is activated carbon filtration. When he was in school in his previous life, he knew that activated carbon is a widely used filter material, which has a very good filtering effect. It's just that although Su Lun knows that activated carbon has a good filtering effect, he doesn't know how it is made.

　　 Even if I learned it when I was in school before ~ ​​www.wuxiahere.com~ After so many years, I have forgotten all the time. He only remembered that activated carbon was obtained by carbonization of wood. Although he doesn't know how to make activated carbon, he still knows how to make charcoal. Today, charcoal is used for steelmaking in the territory every day.

Although charcoal is not as effective as activated carbon, it can also be filtered. It would be better to filter it a few more times. Ask people to go to the kiln to transport a car of charcoal, and then let the workers crush the charcoal into fine particles, and then use these particles. Rinse with clean water.

　　 while instructing the barbarians to squeeze sugar water, on the other side instructing others to make charcoal pellets.

　　 After washing off the charcoal and drying it, Suren got a bunch of small black particles. Next, pour these black charcoal particles directly into the nearly red sugar water, and then stir.

　　The time to witness the miracle has arrived. I saw that the original reddish-brown sugar water gradually faded during the mixing process, and the color soon became clear.

Several barbarians next to 　　 looked at Su Lun's operation stupidly, and they couldn't figure out why the sugar water became transparent after adding those dark things to the brown sugar water.

　　 Seeing that the sugar water became transparent, Su Lun couldn't help but giggled. It seemed that his method had succeeded.

　　 "Hurry up and don't eat it!" While Su Lun was smirking, the two barbarians sneaked into the bucket, scooped a spoon of sugar water, and drank it quickly. Su Lun took the spoon and hit the two heads twice.

　　 The two savages gave a smirk, and then went on to work.
