,
In line with its appearance - the interior space of this store seems very small, and the furnishings are slightly messy. Several shelves are placed very loosely, and they are filled with all kinds of goods.
From finished products to parts, to materials and various chemicals, we have everything. Seeing this, Fang Plover breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed that he had found the right place.
Several little monsters were setting up ladders and busy moving these things up and down. As soon as Fang Plover entered the shop, they were startled and all stopped, and then a shrill voice came from above their heads:
"A guest is coming, a guest is coming!"
The sudden sound made the Papalar man shrink back in fright, knocking over the shelves behind him as expected. The shelf tilted, and the goods on it fell to the floor. Fortunately, the lion man reached out to hold it up, preventing the shelf from falling down and hitting them.
Fang Yu was startled, and couldn't help but glared at Parker angrily. The latter knew he was in trouble and said loudly: "Papalar people hate narrow places——"
Then he walked out holding the apple.
Fang Plover then apologized to the little monster not far away, but the little monster waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and then came over to clean up the situation. Only then did Fang Plover see that what fell on the ground were all worthless trinkets, and they were not easy to break. Obviously, judging from this arrangement, this did not happen once or twice.
He raised his head and saw that the person who spoke before was actually a raven. The latter was standing on a shelf hanging from the ceiling. The shelf was covered with emerald-green midnight vine leaves - which was also a rare magical plant.
This flat-haired beast didn't seem to think it was in trouble at all. After barking, he lowered his head and combed his feathers in a very slutty way.
At this time, several other little dwarfs hurried over to guide Fang Plover, talking about the guests going this way.
Under their leadership, Fang Plover walked along the narrow path between the shelves. Not long after, a high platform suddenly appeared in front of him. Invoices and ledgers—and an owl.
Yes.
Fang Plover rubbed his eyes before confirming that he had seen it correctly. It was an owl with black-rimmed glasses on its pointed beak and a bachelor's hat on its head. The latter also pushed the glasses with his wings and stuck his head out to look at it from the high platform. Looking at him and the tall lion man.
"It's so strange that there is a man and a lion. It's so strange that we have guests so early." The owl said in a strange voice: "Good afternoon, two guests. What do you need?"
Fang Yu thought this was extremely weird.
"Hello, Mr. Owl." But he still greeted politely - at first he thought that he had seen enough in this world, and no matter how strange things he saw again, he would not be surprised like this.
But obviously, the store opened by an owl is not included in this list.
Even owls can open shops these days. Is there still such a race in Aitaria? Do they really recognize the difference between a magic guide and a magic guide? Then again, the fact that an owl can talk is already bizarre.
"It's ma'am," the owl not only knew how to speak, but also corrected him seriously. "Also, you can call me Ms. Jiside instead of Ms. Owl - it's so weird, let's not forget that I'm not an owl, but a long-eared owl. See my beautiful ear tufts? This is so weird, just like not all primates are humans, it could also be monkeys and orangutans - are you the same as monkeys and orangutans, this is so weird? Also, thanks to me learning your classifications The method, I have to say, is generally effective, but it is not so reliable when it comes to magical creatures, which is really strange..."
Fang Plover felt dizzy and quickly interrupted the nagging owl lady. "I understand, Ms. Ji Side, but I just want to buy some basic configuration design drawings, the alchemist's - I am not a biologist, and I am not interested in any classification method."
In fact, just like for combat craftsmen, one of the criteria for judging their strength is the number of multi-control flexible structures. An important indicator for judging the strength of an alchemist is the amount of basic configuration design they reserve.
What is basic configuration design?
Among the alchemist's drawings, finished designs such as walkers and clockwork fairies are usually complete designs. But a complete design drawing is often composed of multiple subsystems - for example, a walker includes five subsystems: chassis, balance compensation device, power, armor and skill modules.
Each of these subsystems can be said to be a basic configuration design. For example, the chassis of a walker is actually a six-legged or four-legged spider structure, and the spider structure is the scientific name of this configuration; and a few The foot is just a parallel design idea. As long as the design is reasonable, it is completely feasible to design a thousand-foot structure.
Just like the giant suit that Fang Plover encountered in the Elven Ruins, its blade-leg structure was nothing more than an early spider-like structure.
In the same way, the power structure of the clockwork goblin is called the flapping wing structure in Etalia, which is also a basic configuration. The basic configuration can be replaced and combined to a certain extent, which means that if the alchemist is willing, he can add a fluttering structure to the walker, just like Fang Plover replaces the walker's armor with a clockwork fairy armor and It's like creating a weird-looking thing like the 'Sword Plover'.
Of course, the premise of combination and replacement is that the design must be reasonable, and contradictory designs and designs that violate objective laws can only be failed designs. It is true that under the condition that the power is strong enough, some design flaws are not irreparable - but the design idea of "powerful bricks to fly" is just a widely circulated joke in Aitalia, and cannot be really.
There is an inscription engraved on the main wall of the Hall of the Corin-Ithurian Craftsmen Guild, which was said by Ox-Steelbrow, the most outstanding alchemist in the history of Corin-Ithurian, during his lifetime:
'For the alchemist, design was precisely for the most efficient transformation of etheric magic into mechanical power. '
This is actually the lifelong goal pursued by alchemists.
Of course, for Fang Plover, such a high-end field is not yet within reach. As an alchemist, his current goal is to accumulate as much foundation as possible and learn more diverse configuration designs, so as to be able to combine more powerful and versatile magic tools and flexible configurations.
This was also one of the basic requirements placed on him in order to complete Hein-Feum's vision.
After all, the great Mr. Hein-Fam probably never thought that his successor would be a newcomer in the world of alchemy, so the various ideas he put forward in his own design ideas were often just simple descriptions or nouns - —I will neither tell Fang Plover what this proper noun is, nor tell him how to make it.
Maybe in Hein-Vamp, is there anyone who can't do these simple and basic things? But there really is, and that is his student and successor a thousand years later, classmate Fang Yu.
After more than ten centuries of development, alchemy in Aitalia has long become an exclusive discipline that penetrates all aspects of this world's civilization. After more than a thousand years of accumulation, various structural design drawings that are developing, eliminated, or emerging may only be described by a vast number of measurement words as vast as a galaxy.
Some of these design drawings are stored in the public database and library of the Craftsmen Federation for free browsing by successors. But more of it is passed down in the form of 'knowledge wealth'.
They are clearly priced in many places and are sold in guilds, magic and alchemy shops everywhere.
After all, alchemists also need to eat, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for the knowledge of alchemy. Alchemist is a profession that costs a lot of money, especially if you want to go deep in a certain field.
Of course, there are a few exceptions.
There are examples of people who invented a classic design configuration by chance, and made a fortune just by selling the design drawings, and even became rich as a nation - these even include many famous master craftsmen.
Because of the existence of such a model, some alchemists concentrated on 'inventing' structural designs in an attempt to soar into the sky, thereby neglecting their own duties. In the market, these people were called blueprint craftsmen, which in the early years had a somewhat derogatory meaning. But now it has gradually become a popular profession.
Nowadays, these blueprint craftsmen are indispensable behind every large-scale alchemy chamber and workshop with a long history. It's just that their work has gradually changed from the earliest invention and design configuration to the promising work of how to bypass the "patents" of their predecessors and set up new "patent barriers".
By the way, these two terms are also new things brought by people on earth, and they were quickly popularized among craftsmen and became very popular.
Because of the existence of these people, the alchemy industry has undergone great changes in the past few years. Now, if you want to buy structural design drawings, the best place to go is no longer the Artisans Association in the past, but the various magic and alchemy institutions supported by the Chamber of Commerce. Art store, but the former has to be raised.
Probably because of the common problems of bureaucracy, alchemists generally believe that the design drawings stocked by the Artisans Association are too outdated and cannot keep up with the times.
Generally speaking, learning configuration design is a very expensive and experience-consuming task - and for Aboriginal people, it is a very time-consuming task. Fang Plover learned all the basic configurations of Clockwork Fairy in Kapka - including Fairy I flapping wing structure, Fairy IV heat dissipation structure, Fairy I visual link structure, ultra-light core power structure α type, Fairy I Armor structure.
As well as a full range of basic configurations of the Walker - Walker ii spider structure, Colossus iv balance compensation structure, Walker iii heat dissipation structure, light core power structure α type, Walker i armor structure, i type smart burst structure, i type strength-enhancing structure.
These things are basically all the belongings of a novice. Fang Plover will not have more than others, and naturally he will not have less. However, these things may be barely enough when you are a trainee alchemist, but once you grow into a formal craftsman, they will be somewhat stretched.
"Basic configuration design drawing?"
After listening to Fang Plover's words, Ms. Ji Side swung her fat legs, moved her paws to the edge of the table, tilted her head and looked at him condescendingly, with a somewhat stern expression - although the owl's expression was always stern: "It's really strange. Now, are you an alchemist? Why can’t I see your alchemist level emblem?”
Fang Yu helplessly shook his tattered alchemist robe: "Madam, there is no stipulated level of alchemist that can read the basic configuration design drawing, right? Isn't this a shop?"
"That's what I said, little guy, but I must remind you that not everyone can understand the things of the alchemists. Often some little brats who don't understand anything come to me and seem to take a look at the things of the alchemists. It’s so strange to be able to become an alchemist.”
She flapped her wings as if Fang Plover was one of those little brats. "Of course, it's not a big mistake to want to be an alchemist, but as a person you have to be down-to-earth and not too ambitious, otherwise it will be too strange. Isn't it? It is shameful to waste the time of a respectable lady."
Fang Yu saw that she had a tendency to talk at length again, so he quickly interrupted her. "Don't worry, I'm really here to buy something, Ms. Ji Side."
To be honest, he didn't see how precious this owl's time was. She looked more like a nagging old lady.
Ms. Jiside tilted her head and looked at him before nodding: "Okay, young Mr. Alchemist, what configuration design do you want?"
"I want a firing configuration. It can be any type, but it's better to be cheaper. I have no requirements on the working environment and the amount of energy delivered. Then there is the magic i configuration, Baphytos' acceleration structure and the backflow Design drawings of the installation.”
Fang Yu submitted seventeen or eight basic configuration design drawings in one breath, some of which were needed for flexible construction in the future, and some of which were component designs required for some common and uncommon magic guides.
He didn't forget that he was no longer taking risks alone. The maintenance and upgrade of Red, Attila, and Parker's equipment all fell on his shoulders.
After hearing this, Ms. Owl propped up her glasses with her wings, then picked up a bill of goods and read: "A price-sensitive firing structure design drawing, how about the A series trigger design drawing of Stum'a Workshop, simple Durable and the key is cheap.”
"Can."
"Next is the design drawing of the Magic I configuration. Is it the Magic Sensitive Device? It's really strange. This is a rare request. I rarely see anyone needing to use this thing."
Fang Yu nodded quickly: "That's it. The material needs to be the eyeballs of the Silver Blazing Forest."
"Okay, then it's confirmed, but it's still too strange. Let's talk about the acceleration structure. Are you sure you want Baphotus's? This thing is very expensive. If you are not very sensitive to quality, I recommend you to use Cui Bird Workshop’s—”
"No, no, no, I want this, I'm sure of it." Fang Plover shook his head quickly. The acceleration structure is the most important part of the beta state of the crystal. It requires high precision and quality. He doesn't dare to cut corners on this.
Ms. Owl confirmed most of the subsequent design drawings with him again, but when she came to the last one, something went wrong: "Magic return device?"
Ms. Ji Side changed the goods list several times in a row, and finally shook her head: "Are you sure you wrote it correctly, little guy? This is really strange, we don't have this thing here."
She also tapped her paw on the counter emphatically to show that her professionalism was unquestionable.
"Ah? No?" Fang Yu's heart sank - this was what he was worried about. After all, Hain-Fam's design ideas were from a thousand years ago, and many things that existed at that time were later replaced by Eliminated, or simply lost in the long river of history.
If it's the former, that's fine. As long as we find a replacement, it might be even better. But if it's the latter, it would be a tragedy, and no solution can be found.
After all, although Hain-Fam also provided shooting design ideas, the master's ideas were not something that a primary school student like him could understand. If you don't follow the steps and find a substitute along the other party's train of thought, it will be a matter of years and months.
And once he exceeds level five, it will involve the issue of replacing a new core crystal, which is something time waits for no one.
"but--"
She never expected that the owl was panting loudly when she spoke. She took two steps back and forth on the stage with her wings on her back: "You mentioned this thing that I seem to have heard of somewhere. Let me think about it - it's really strange. I was there in the early years." I seem to have heard of something similar when I was working at the Elpaxin Craftsmen Association. What is it called, the magic cycle structure, that's it. From the description, it should be something similar. It's really weird. Are you sure you didn't write it down? Wrong?"
"Wait, the magic cycle structure? Ms. Ji Side, are you sure?" Fang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this. His family knew their own affairs, and it was almost certain that this thing was a replacement for the magic return device. However, this magic circulation structure was not a commonly used configuration, so it was shelved in the database of the Craftsmen's Association.
Ms. Owl was furious when she heard this, and her ear feathers rose up: "You actually doubt the memory of an older, wiser Ms. Owl. This idea is so strange! Don't use your human standards to figure out the world. One of the most intelligent species - your poor brain can't hold the knowledge of any eventuality, and in my case it's just a small part of the rich experience. It's so strange, why humans are so shallow, I can even tell you Talking about my experience in the Giant Tree Hills, it was almost more than ten years ago. I remember that I wrote a book about my experience, which was quite popular in many places in Kaolin-Ithulian. You or …”
Ms. Owl was still chattering, but Fang Plover was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He quickly paid the bill and asked Red to leave. He didn't even dare to ask questions about the magic power cycle structure. He thought he would go to the Craftsmen's Association anyway, and then we'd discuss it later.
Anyway, he has always been so muddle-headed about unimportant things.
And he swore that even if he went back to face a dark dragon, he would never deal with an owl lady again. That would be too terrifying.
Rhett also expressed deep agreement with this.
At the same time, the lion man also used the knowledge of the earth people to correct Fang Plover's incorrect cognitive method.
"No, she's not a feline."
"At least the names are similar to yours, and they both have cats."
"There's a big difference. I'm a lion, not a big cat." Red said angrily.
