"This is a planetary instrument for training," Ming pointed at a tall magic device in the room and introduced it to him. "Its principle is very similar to that of the Olgifen Tower. Of course, it is not as magical and there is no way. Project you into a separate space." Lan
"However, unlike ordinary magic furnaces, it does not require input of any raw materials. There is a video crystal here as a projector. Several simple magic circles are embedded in the input platform, which can be used to simulate the properties of several simple materials. You can use these magic circles to shape something, and the final result will be displayed on the projector."
She patted the console of the machine: "Come, put your hands here, sink your mind into it, and try to create something, using multiple parallel methods, the faster the better."
Fang Yu noticed this unique device before entering the room.
It is very much like a star tracker used on a ship, with two criss-crossing tracks, and a circle of circular tracks underneath as a chassis.
There are large and small metal balls running in the orbit. Those are typical planetary devices. There are individual magic furnaces inside. The craftsman can see the etheric space inside by projecting his consciousness into it.
But planetary instruments usually stand alone, and he has rarely seen such a complicated one.
There are countless pipes connected to the input station, and the crystal is inserted on one side of the magic device, facing the airspace in the center of the two crisscrossing tracks. Lan
Under Ming's guidance, Fang Yu tentatively pressed his gloves on the metal panel. Up to this point, it was almost the same as using an ordinary planetary instrument. Then he sunk his mind into it, and a vast space appeared in his field of vision.
It was almost exactly the same experience as the planetary instrument he had used in El Paxin, except that this space was much wider than the former. It was like a two-dimensional plane gradually unfolding, gradually filling the entire horizon.
The space gradually lengthened and became three-dimensional, but it was completely blank. While Fang Plover was wondering, Ming's words came to his ears, "Try to imagine a kind of material."
Fang Yu subconsciously thought of Han Tie. The Seven Seas Traveler was lacking that kind of thing, and he wanted to use cold iron to transform the bottom cabin to gain better adaptability to the wind element.
But Ming's voice became irritated, "What good things are you thinking about? It's simpler, the magic circle can't simulate such advanced materials."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment, and the cold iron in his consciousness was downgraded to pure iron. A starry node immediately extended in the blank space, which was the "alchemy formula" of Aitaria's light pure iron.
Among these nodes are related to the state and properties of this piece of pig iron, as well as to the physical and chemical properties. This piece of pure iron has only 123 nodes, indicating that its shape is small and its properties are very simple, and it does not have etheric properties. . Lan
However, there are no signs on these nodes. It is impossible for ordinary people to even recognize them, let alone connection and transformation.
But for the alchemist, understanding these nodes is the foundation of the apprenticeship.
This is especially true for Fang Plover.
The chosen one has to use the system to recognize them, but he can match them one by one in his memory with his eyes closed, and the memory of practicing over and over again in Kapka suddenly comes to his mind.
The nodes in the first area represent the state properties, size, weight, shape, and even the internal yield state of the substance. If it is the simplest to just change its shape, generally only twenty or thirty nodes need to be connected.
Plastic changes also require balancing stress, but as long as energy is involved, ether can be used to compensate. In this regard, the alchemists' methods are even more exaggerated than the technology on earth.
Some properties are almost unchangeable, such as the physical properties and chemical properties of matter, but these two properties are essentially related to elements in Aitaria, and alchemists are not unable to turn stone into gold. Lan
The premise is that you have to add money.
Ether can shape everything, because ether and elements can transform into each other under certain conditions, but there will be losses in the process. Forcibly changing the properties of certain substances most of the time is not worth the gain.
The legendary Philosopher's Stone, which can transform matter unconditionally, only exists in legends.
I figured out the simple magic circles carved into this device.
Fang Plover then became familiar with the functions of the magic circle - those magic circles were not created out of thin air, they just recorded the properties of several simple substances.
It can also simulate some changes, such as shape, but it is almost impossible to change the properties, because this planetary instrument certainly does not have that much computing power.
Fang Yu thought to himself that when he conceived Hantie, he must have almost made the machine smoke. No wonder Ms. Ming sounded so angry outside. This planetary instrument is very special and must be worth a lot of money.
With a thought in his mind, five rays of light were produced from the circuit of the magic glove. Those rays of light were divided into two, and then divided into four, instantly connecting the twenty-four nodes in the first area. Lan
Their positions are changing, and the piece of pure iron refracted on the crystal projector is also changing. It is collapsing inward as if melting, and fluctuating like a metallic liquid.
It seemed like it turned into a cubit-long dagger in an instant, but it was just a simple iron dagger. There was no carburizing process, nor did it change its crystal structure - because this machine couldn't simulate it. complex changes in properties.
But even so, Fang Yu was still a little surprised.
He now discovered that the planetary device was different. It was much slower than he expected, and more computing power was used to connect each node.
It's like he's not making something, but projecting something that doesn't exist in the material world. A lot of computing power is wasted in the process of transforming from the ether of consciousness. It's like he is really creating something out of thin air.
He was very familiar with that feeling. He had the same feeling when using Kraken to construct things out of thin air. Only through massive computing power could he construct some simple substances, and a huge amount of ether had to be invested.
That feeling - Lan
Yes, it is ancient alchemy.
Creation.
Of course, this planetary device is just a simplified model, which does not require additional investment in ether, and the computing power used is much lower than his Siren construct.
Fang Yu disconnected from the device in an instant. He turned back and looked at Ming aside. Ms. Ming was smiling like an old fox who had succeeded in her scheme. She looked at him with a smile and did not reveal anything.
Low murmurs were coming from the crowd.
"Faster than Lan Zhou," someone couldn't help but say, "I didn't even see it clearly, it was done in an instant."
"But it's not as many as I imagined. I thought the geniuses chosen by the craftsmen would be taller than us. I don't know what will happen if we whisper."
"It's a pity that except for Ed, none of the members of the group have ever appeared on stage. There is also Guland, but Guland has no reference value."
Ming turned around and lectured them: "Don't whisper to each other, watch carefully. This is the application of multiple parallelism. In that maze space, you need to use the same way to shape everything, use creativity to overcome difficulties and defeat opponents. Every minute and every second determines whether you will be eliminated."
The room fell silent.
Mingcai turned around again and said to Fang Plov, "Have you noticed it?"
"Is this ancient alchemy?" Fang Plover asked unexpectedly.
"There are some similarities," Ming nodded, "But what's interesting is that this planetary instrument is actually copied from the technology of the Silver Tower. Although it is not as high as the Olgifen Tower, it is similar to Anluo. The ancient alchemy taught to you by Se has some similarities."
"So the competition in the Spire Trial is actually the practical application of such ancient alchemy?" Fang Piao became interested. Isn't this the scene he dreamed of? His creation technique is still in its infancy. The constructs projected with the Kraken Construct are almost toy-like. Lan
Now there is a place where he can experiment with the Creation Technique, and even let him see the real application of the Creation Technique. That would be perfect.
He even forgot that it was a game. Even if there was no game, he would definitely want to visit it if he heard about such a place. For the first time, he felt that this trip to the empire was the right one.
Ming was a little surprised by his sudden excitement, but still nodded, "But you don't need to be too excited, I probably guessed that you
What are you thinking about? It’s not like no one has tried this in the past. But that space is a special space after all. To create something out of thin air using ancient alchemy in the material world requires a thousand times more effort, and the gain outweighs the loss. The method Anloser taught you gives us another way of thinking, but at least in my opinion it still has big flaws. It is very practical for purifying materials. "
Fang Yu scratched his head. Ming, like everyone else, was biased against ancient alchemy, but this was normal. Even he himself had not yet found a proper method. His talent in multiple parallelism is different from ordinary people. Not everyone can invest so much computing power, let alone the huge amount of ether.
His own Kraken construct was still a toy.
But this did not prevent him from still wanting to try it. Since the warlocks of the Silver Tower created such a space, it meant that they must have their own ideas on creation.
Although it is not clear whether this idea is consistent with his, it is good to discuss it, and maybe there will be unexpected gains. Lan
He couldn't help but ask: "Will the magicians of the Silver Tower answer our questions?"
Ming glanced at him in surprise, but it was good to make the guy full of energy. Sometimes she hated that iron could not become steel. The other person's talent was the best among the people she had ever seen, but he just looked like Looks like he doesn't want any trouble.
She replied: "If you can pass the test, you can naturally ask them some questions. The warlocks of the Silver Tower are not as mysterious as the outside world thinks. They are also ordinary scholars."
That would be great. Fang Yu thought of the scroll knights he had seen in Ayinbrok. In addition to the creation technique, he also had a lot of questions to ask those people.
They obviously recognized Miss Tata.
But where does the technical route of Fairy Dragon Soul come from?
And why is it among the jade fragments. Lan
"Do you want to try again?" Ming asked him, "A dagger is easier for you. How about trying to make a construct?"
As she spoke, she stared at him suspiciously. She always felt that the boy had not tried his best just now. Although the dagger had been generated very quickly, Ming felt that Weiyu and Wuming could also reach this level.
She thought to herself that she was pretty accurate at reading people.
Fang Yu shook his head. This machine was a bit too simple, and he lacked interest. "Senior Ming, you should know that making a construct involves designing circuits and making crystals. Many of the steps are changes in the properties of the ether in the third area. , this planetary instrument can't even simulate the chemical changes in the second zone, and it can't even turn iron into steel. Even if I build a clockwork fairy, it will be nothing more than an empty frame."
"That's true," Ming knew that what he said was the truth, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, "Forget it, the teaching purpose has been achieved anyway."
Hearing the words "teaching purpose", Fang Yu suddenly realized something and asked: "Senior Ming, you asked me to test this thing, saying that it is related to the subsequent competition. Could it be that in the trial of Olgifen Tower? , we can make combat structures in it?”
"Of course," Ming glared at him, a little bit annoyed that iron is not made of steel. "Otherwise, why do you think I asked you to come up here? Do you look better? In the competition, you can create everything you can, and you must use them to deal with it. Levels, and even challenges from opponents." Lan
Fang Plover was speechless for a moment.
But Ming's words still surprised him, "The combat craftsmen are quite advantageous, isn't this a competition for alchemists?"
"You have a wonderful idea," Ming said, "I know what you think, but no way, your creations have a special way of operating in that space. This explanation is too complicated, so I won't waste any time. Wait until You will naturally understand when the time comes. Remember, this is a craftsman's competition, which compares your creativity, problem-solving thinking, and proficiency in using alchemy and tools."
She looked at everyone, "There are a total of six levels in the maze. Each level has a different theme. In these levels, you will meet opponents from different areas, and they may also be allies. You can choose your own strategy. , but ultimately it’s about winning. The game itself doesn’t limit what hands you use
Duan wins, but the rules will amplify the craftsman’s ability. You need to use your brain more than brute force. Of course, if you can really knock out all your opponents with one punch, then you can also choose to do this——"
"But when you get there, you will find that personal power is meager. To give a simple example, even the most outstanding master craftsman in the Grand Dry Dock will need hundreds of helpers to build an aerostat. , there are many professional alchemists here. One craftsman can make a clockwork fairy, but several craftsmen can make a larger device by coordinating the division of labor and working together. In that space, your choices, materials, and even It’s the ether invested, but only time is limited.”
Ming Jiang read the last sentence again: "Remember, only time is limited——"
"So division of labor is your best option, and this is the purpose of this training camp, so that you can get to know each other well so that you can work together seamlessly in official competitions." She glanced at someone, "I know some people are all-round craftsmen. , are good at various fields. But even if you are better than others in every field, you cannot be distracted. No matter how high your efficiency is, it cannot be higher than that of two, three, or even more people. Cooperation and cooperation."
Fang Yu always felt that these words were intentional, and seemed worried that he would be arrogant about his talent. However, in fact, such things as collaboration between craftsmen were not unfamiliar to him.
Ms. Ming’s words are instructive to most of the geniuses present.
Because most craftsmen who are chosen work alone, there is often only one craftsman in a team. At this stage, they rarely engage in large-scale cooperative and coordinated projects.
However, Fang Plover was different. Not to mention that there was already an elementalist who studied alchemy in his regiment. Just completing the Seven Seas Traveler was a systematic project in itself.
Under the guidance of the old shipwrights in Istania, he was already quite familiar with this type of project.
However, he did not refute, and stood aside waiting for General Ming to finish speaking.
"Find a good position," Ming concluded, "and give full play to the strengths of everyone in the team. The significance of the all-round craftsman in this game is that he can play multiple positions and is an excellent libero. The steeple test in history During training, there are many examples of weaker teams defeating stronger opponents through continuous cooperation, so even if you are not the strongest, you must be good at looking for opportunities from cooperation."
She paused and finally added: "This is the first thing you need to learn in the remaining month. The rest is multiple parallelism, which is also the top priority. You need to get familiar with the former, and I will know the latter. I’ll teach you a class, and Ed will be my teaching assistant.”
Fang Yu was still there, but he almost frightened himself out of his wits when he heard these words, "Wait, senior Ming, assistant teacher, me?" He finally understood why the other party smiled so cunningly and sinisterly. It turned out that he had been fighting all the time. This abacus.
He seemed to have found the source of his previous anxiety, and couldn't help but subconsciously retorted: "I can't do it."
"If you can't do it, who else can? Find a replacement?" Ming interrupted mercilessly, "Your progress is different from theirs, so you can learn something new by following me. Of course, if you don't want to learn , you can refuse."
方鸻看了看这位构装女王挽起袖子，露出下面白银的魔导手套，想了想还是把到了嘴边的话给吞了回去，他要是再说不估计要挨揍了。
Ming gave him a knowing look, then waved her hand and said, "That's it for today, get out of class is over." Then she glanced at Fang Yu and Luo Wei again, "Ed, Luo Wei, you guys will be here later." Come for a visit."
Amid everyone's curious and envious eyes, Ming packed up his teaching materials and walked out. Lan
Fang Yu was left alone scratching his head, thinking what the hell was going on. Ms. Ming pointed out his differences in a big way in front of everyone, which would inevitably cause him a lot of trouble.
Although he probably understood what this lady meant, he couldn't stand his lazy look.
After Ming walked out of the door, Fang Yu suddenly noticed that his system lit up, and the communication terminal projected on his retina responded, as if someone had sent him a message.
He subconsciously clicked on it and realized it was from Ms. Ming:
"Little guy, I know you have ideals."
"But to go to the second world, you must first have qualifications. The essence of qualifications is for those who have the strength and are prepared."
"If you want to go further, you have to have more——" Lan
"Honor, fame, other people's opinions of you, those illusory things sometimes play a key role. When you are in a certain position, you must bear the expectations of others, and there is no use hiding yourself."
“Because it’s impossible to ignore the elephant in the room, you have to learn to accept it and take advantage of it.”
"No dream is built on rootless duckweed."
"I don't want to persuade you to change anything, little guy, but if you are still interested in my skills, come with Luo Wei today. Don't wait until later.
--deep"
Fang Yu silently put away the text message, and the legendary name flashed in his mind. She was originally the Construct Queen of the Third Division, but now she is just his teacher.
He was slightly moved. Lan
…
