Hot molten iron was flowing in the container in front of him, and the magic circle driven by the magic crystal released terrifying heat.
The formation ensures that the molten iron emitting red light can maintain its condition well without changing its properties.
Wang Yu stood sweating profusely next to the magic blast furnace. In his left hand was a pair of iron pliers, tightly clamping the container containing the molten iron.
Endless pages floated in front of Wang Yu, with densely written slanted words on them, "Appropriate amount of essence powder, appropriate proportion of forged steel, three spoons of liquid gold, one tube of Mobis solvent..."
While mumbling, Wang Yu took out the things he wanted to use from the table next to him, added them to the hot molten iron, and then used a special stirring rod to start stirring.
The molten iron mixed with these items emits a strange blue light, and the overall color of the red-hot molten iron actually turns into a blue fluorescent color.
His eyes lit up, and he used iron tongs to pick out the pre-heated mold from the furnace of the blast furnace. He quickly introduced the entire barrel of molten iron emitting blue light into the mold and sealed it.
Then place it in the blast furnace to continue heating and calcining, counting 200 silently in your mind, take out the mold, and wait for it to cool.
After a minute and a half, he opened the mold, took out the semi-cooled sword embryo that was still glowing red, and placed it on the anvil.
He took out a hammer and began to forge hard on it. The sound of clanking and clanging could be heard endlessly.
Then, a teeth-searing sound of metal twisting and deforming came out. Wang Yu slapped his forehead and failed again.
A piece of the sword embryo was dented after being struck. This meant that either the heating process was uneven, or there was a problem with the material preparation. In short, the sword embryo had failed.
After putting the things away, Wang Yu sat next to the workbench, throwing the endless pages of the book down in distress, and tried for the seventy-third time to make the base of the enchanted long sword, but failed.
"Why, can't you give me some precise data? What is the appropriate amount of refined powder, and how much forged steel is the appropriate ratio? This is what is written in the book. The question is how do I know this..." Wang Yu Talk to yourself.
He discovered that the alchemy of this world was indeed very similar to chemistry.
Understand the properties of various materials, and then combine and modulate them to form a variety of useful things. What Wang Yu is trying to make now is the sword embryo of the enchanted sword.
The problem is that Wang Yu has learned a lot in the past three months, but even after Lilia left for two months, he still has not made a usable enchanted sword embryo.
Seventy-three attempts, all failed, and none succeeded. No matter what Wang Yu did, he always failed. This only shows that he really has no talent as an alchemist.
He really studied it seriously. Lilia explained it to them for a month, and the library's collection of books was fully open to them.
In the first month, I mainly learned about the properties, mechanisms, and special combination methods of various materials. It was mostly rote memorization.
Fortunately, Wang Yu remembered what he could remember, and what he couldn't remember was copied onto the pages of the endless book, so he could look at it at any time.
But after getting started with practice, Wang Yu discovered that this aspect really requires talent. Alchemy requires very high precision, so a small deviation may lead to failure.
However, many of the recipes in the alchemy basics in the library are very vague as to what is the appropriate amount and proportion.
These are simply inexplicable to Wang Yu, but in fact this is not a cultural gap.
There is actually nothing to make fun of the alchemy of this world, like the kind of micro-manipulation that is accurate to milligrams and microns in a laboratory.
Because the alchemy of this world will differ in different areas, different magic concentrations, different temperatures, and even different points in time.
The appropriate amount mentioned in many formulas is really something that the blender can feel. This is the talent of the alchemist, something similar to intuition.
Part of it relies on memorizing the properties of various substances, part of it relies on understanding, and the other part relies on this talent to find the "suitable" standard to regulate operations to achieve the purpose of alchemy.
It's a pity. At present, it seems that Wang Yu really doesn't have any such talent. His knowledge reserve and understanding of the properties of various materials are sufficient.
But he just couldn't properly match them based on his understanding, and he tried step by step, only to fail in the end.
Sighing in his heart, he still felt it was a pity. In fact, he thought it was a great thing for a warrior to build weapons for himself.
It's a pity that he can't do it. In fact, the simpler the alchemy, the more precise the formula is, and the more complex and powerful the alchemy is, the more vague and "metaphysical" it is.
Therefore, some powerful magic and alchemical creations are often created on the whim of master alchemists.
Of course, this is also very expensive. Although it is an industry that does not open for three years and makes huge profits after three years of opening, all kinds of materials, including the operation of the magic circle, cost a lot of gold coins.
Throwing the shriveled money bag in his hand, the jingling sound disappeared, and there was only a solitary gold coin in it.
In three months, Wang Yu spent all his money to buy materials and magic crystals to try alchemy.
Of his ten gold coins, plus the one given by Aviya, there are a total of twenty gold coins. Now only one is used. It can be said that everything is lost.
Although he can do simple magic pattern carving and make some very simple protective weapons, there is no point in finding a skilled blacksmith who can do these things better than him.
As for a slightly more advanced enchanted sword with real significance, he was completely unable to make it. At this point, it seemed that he had no choice but to give up.
"Damn, it's so difficult. Why can't I figure out the ratio of properties? I'm obviously pretty good at chemistry, so why can't I be good at this?"
Wang Yu threw the scrapped sword embryo on the table in distress and began to think about it.
The money is almost spent, and he doesn't admit death in this aspect. If you don't have talent, you don't have talent.
It's a pity that he can't forge iron. He quite likes forging iron. Hitting forged iron with a sledgehammer makes him feel quite comfortable, and it can also exercise his muscles very well.
After these three months of hard work, his single strength has reached a coefficient of 1.5, which means that his single attribute has immediately reached the intermediate level of a trainee knight, although the other attributes are not yet good enough.
"Forget it, give up. It's not enough to equip yourself." He shook his head and piled the scrapped materials together, planning to dispose of them casually when the time came.
He doesn't plan to become an alchemist as a deputy in the future. He doesn't have the talent and is not the material.
However, Aviya's talent is as amazing as ever, and she is actually very good in alchemy.
"Speaking of which, the essence of alchemy is to rearrange the structure and use complex reactions to obtain a more stable and powerful structure. The sword embryo of the enchanted sword is actually to obtain a metal that can carry the magic pattern circuit. Let's think differently. no…?"
Wang Yu, who was just about to put down his tools and leave, suddenly came up with the idea that it was not a loss anyway, so he might as well give it a try.
After thinking about it, the power of the void was mobilized on his fist. It was chaotic and chaotic. The more chaotic, the better. Anyway, I just tried it. The more chaotic it was, the better...
In fact, this is also a property discovered by Wang Yu. In any situation where void energy is used, the more chaotic it is, the less it will be consumed.
This is also the reason why it is difficult for Wang Yu to use void energy to directly twist a mobile phone or magical item.
Such a sophisticated item consumes astronomical amounts of void energy, which is simply not something Wang Yu can afford.
"Is the overall trend of the void tending towards chaos and disorder?" Wang Yu muttered to himself, but did not think about it carefully. This was not something he could consider at the moment. There was no need to think too much!
What he is doing now is very simple, which is to gather enough void energy in his fist, and then punch the scrap enchanted sword embryo he punched into it.
The purpose is to distort the structure, the more chaotic the better, self-deprecating smile, how is it possible, although it is theoretically feasible.
But is this probability too small? Among the countless possibilities, useless scrapped structures can be said to account for the majority.
When the void energy gathered enough, Wang Yu was ready and punched the scrapped sword embryo. The void energy was carried by the ripples and poured into the metal block.
The ripples bounce and pass inside, spreading the chaotic void energy chaotically inside the material.
Following Wang Yu's will, these void energies reconstructed the structure and properties of this material in the most chaotic form possible.
Due to extremely chaotic and disorderly reasons, this small amount of energy was very long-lasting. As soon as Wang Yu punched it, the piece of waste began to vibrate and move slowly on the table.
About a minute or so, along with a series of crackling explosions, a large series of cracks appeared in this piece of material in front of Wang Yu, and the overall color became darker.
Although it was originally a waste product, its appearance was at least pretty good-looking as it was smooth and blue. But now, with its dull color, broken surface, and disintegrated structure, it is almost enough to call it a piece of waste stone.
He shook his head helplessly. This was of no use at all. Sure enough, it couldn't be such a good thing.
Otherwise, any wizard would be an alchemist. He knocked on the piece of waste, and with the sound of cracking gravel, the whole piece of waste broke and scattered, turning into debris on the table.
"Huh?" Wang Yu's eyes narrowed, but he suddenly found a small piece of complete structure about half the size of a palm among the pile of rubble.
Not broken, just buried in a pile of broken pieces.
Reaching out to push aside the messy pieces, Wang Yu took a closer look at the different piece. There was a strange look in Wang Yu's eyes.
This piece of material has an irregular shape and looks like a bomb that was frozen in mid-explosion, or like a sea urchin.
The shape is extremely chaotic, but the surface exudes a faint bluish light. At the same time, all surfaces present a gradient luster of colored glass, giving people a colorful illusion.
"This is it?" He held the object in the palm of his hand and pressed it. Some sharp thorns on the irregular surface stung his palm slightly.
This shows that this kind of spike is not fragile, and the material that can bring a tingling sensation to Wang Yu's rough palm may really have something to it.
He took the hammer from the tool table, put the strange material on the anvil and struck it. There was no sound of metal being exchanged, and Wang Yu showed a strange expression.
He wanted to lift the hammer and try again but failed, and now he was surprised.
After pulling hard, he succeeded, and the entire anvil was moved. Wang Yu was surprised to find that this piece of material was embedded in the anvil, which was already stronger than ordinary materials.
The spikes on the irregular surface were incredibly strong. Several holes were pierced on the surface of the hammer, and the entire material penetrated directly into the anvil.
Wang Yu tried to pull it out with his hands, but found that it was stuck very tightly. If he used force, it would pierce his flesh. It was okay. To deal with this seemingly troublesome but actually not complicated problem, use witchcraft.
Void energy surges, twisting the shape of a piece of material is still simple. Void energy is poured into this weird piece of material, and the direction of distortion is controlled in the heart, changing the shape, so that... hmm?
Wang Yu's eyes widened and he looked at this piece of material in surprise. The sea urchin-like shell was still so strange and disordered. This thing was not affected by witchcraft?
Wang Yu's void energy was like a mud cow entering the sea, and the distortion of this thing failed to work. The witchcraft that had always been easy to use failed on this "waste".
"This?" Wang Yu was a little confused, how could witchcraft fail on this thing.
However, there is a rough guess. This thing was caused by Wang Yu's random distortion of the structure, causing them to be confused and appear unexpectedly.
In other words, this thing is already chaotic and distorted enough, so the void that tends to chaos and disorder has no impact on this material...
"Very reasonable..." Wang Yu rubbed his chin and felt that this conjecture was very possible. After thinking about it, he didn't need this anvil anymore. If he couldn't twist the material, it wouldn't be a big problem to twist the anvil.
In one fell swoop, he used up all his void energy, twisted the anvil, and successfully took out the weird sea urchin-like material.
Wang Yu decided to show this to Aviya. If Lilia was there, Lilia would be a better choice. Now he can only show it to Aviya.
But before that, Wang Yu decided to try his inexplicable witchcraft again.
He gathered together the scraps from dozens of failures and knocked them one by one with his fists. This witchcraft didn't consume much void energy, so it didn't take long to knock them all out.
Looking at the broken pieces and complete waste on the ground, Wang Yu curled his lips. Sure enough, the "sea urchin" in his hand was a special case.
This technique that I have come up with is actually of no use. If I use this to gamble my luck, it is better to just imitate others and go to those alleys of strange objects that specialize in deceiving people.
The probability of success in picking up leaks is at least one in a thousand. Is Wang Yu's technique one in a million? I'm afraid not.
If you pile a pile of scraps together, you could exchange it for two bucks at the blacksmith shop in an unknown village. But now I'm afraid it will really become scraps and worthless at all.
It's no pity. Wang Yu likes money, but he is never greedy.
Holding the special material, Wang Yu approached the wooden house where Aviya stayed, and there was the sound of tiny metal collisions inside.
Wang Yu took a look from the window. The girl was leaning over her wooden table, carefully carving something.
Her long blond hair was tied up into a single ponytail, neatly placed on the back of her head. She was wearing a gray camisole instead of a wizard's robe, and she looked very serious.
From this angle, Wang Yu could only see the side face of the girl, which looked very youthful. In fact, Wang Yu thought it was better for the girl to look like this.
Wang Yu is undoubtedly a stone-headed person, but he can also see that Aviya has always been worried.
But with a gentle personality, she didn't want to speak out and cause trouble to others, so she kept suppressing it. This was not good, at least that's what Wang Yu thought.
But when the little mage does something very seriously, other things will be suppressed. That's why the girls now look like they have that youthful feeling. Wang Yu thinks this is good.
Not wanting to disturb the serious girl, Wang Yu stood in front of the window for about half an hour.
The girl finished carving the thing in her hand, took a breath, showed a satisfied smile, wiped the sweat from her forehead due to the careful operation, and raised the thing in her hand to look at it carefully.
Seeing that Aviya had finished her work, Wang Yu knocked on the window. The girl looked towards the window sill belatedly, then looked flustered and hurriedly put away the things in her hands.
Then he ran to the window sill, opened the window, and looked at Wang Yu, who had been standing here for a long time.
"Wang Yu, what's the matter?"
"Ah, yes, I have something strange here for you." Wang Yu held the strange material in his hand and handed it to Aviya.
"Ah, what?" Wang Yu didn't know if it was an illusion or not and noticed that the girl's face turned red.
"I came up with a strange thing when I was doing alchemy, but I have no idea what it is or how to use it, so I'm here to ask you. After all, your alchemy talent is very good and you are very proficient in magic pattern circuit seal carving. .”
"Ah?" Aviya was slightly disappointed when she saw Wang Yu open his palm to reveal the "sea urchin" inside, but she quickly adjusted back.
Wang Yu briefly introduced to Aviya how this thing came from, and the inexplicable witchcraft that Wang Yu himself had done, which attracted the girl.
"Can it block witchcraft? There are such materials, but they all rely on very precise structures to distort the void, which requires a lot of energy. But Wang Yu, you are very strange!"
The girl had a look of interest on her face, as if she had found something she liked.
The girl waved her right hand, and magic power surged out of her right hand. A faint light surrounded the material in Wang Yu's hand, and then dissipated.
One Ring of Detection Magic: Glimmer of Truth, a spell used by mages to help recall things from memory.
If the object being explored overlaps with something in Aviya's memory, it will appear. This performance shows that this thing has nothing to do with anything in Aviya's memory.
"It's a new material, Wang Yu. This material should be able to make interesting alchemy items. Not only can it resist the void, but according to your description, its strength is also very good!"
The girl looks very excited and happy. It seems that she is not only talented, but also loves alchemy!
"Then I'll give it to you. Anyway, it seems to me that I don't have any alchemy talent at all, so it's useless to hold it."
Wang Yu saw that the girl was very happy, so he put this thing directly on the girl's window sill.
"Is that so? Thank you! By the way, this is for you!" The girl was very happy. After thinking about it, she blushed and took out the thing she had put away before and handed it to Wang Yu.
"There are only enough materials to make one spell ring. It contains a fireball spell. It can be released once after replenishing the magic power. It is not a good magic item. My level is not high yet."
The girl handed the ring to Wang Yu with some embarrassment.
Wang Yu was a little surprised. She knew that the girl's alchemy talent was very good, but she didn't expect that she could make a magic weapon in three months. Although it was not a very powerful magic weapon, for Wang Yu, it was very powerful. practical.
After accepting the ring, Wang Yu said solemnly, "Thank you!"
Then when he put the ring into his pocket, he found that his name was engraved on it. Of course, it was not Chinese characters, but the characters of this world.
It is actually quite difficult to pronounce the word "Wang Yu" in the words of this world, so if the spelling on this ring is read strictly, it sounds like "Wang Yu", and Wang Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Why are you laughing?" Aviya looked even more embarrassed when she saw Wang Yu laughing.
"Nothing, it's just that my name engraved on this ring sounds weird."
"Ah? Well... Then do you want to give your witchcraft a name?" Aviya seemed to be a little embarrassed, and she changed the subject stiffly.
Wang Yu scratched his head. It was okay to give this useless wizard a name. It might be useful.
"Call me a crappy alchemist?" Wang Yu thought it was quite appropriate, because he is.
"It's so strange. How about calling it Destiny Reconstruction?" Aviya felt that Wang Yu was saying strange things again, so she thought of a name that seemed to Wang Yu to be a bit out of place.
"No, no, this name gives me chills. It's unlucky." It's not that he dislikes this name, but when he hears this name, Wang Yu thinks of his previous experience of being played by Ah San from Dark Dungeon while playing games, and he's afraid.
"What about Chaos Reconstruction?"
"That's right! That's what it's called!" Wang Yu approved the answer.
Aviya looked at the "sea urchin" in her hand, and at Wang Yu who couldn't put it down playing with the ring. Her keen inspiration always made him feel that today's material, and Wang Yu's useless "Chaos Reconstruction", would be able to send out... Come in handy…
(Well, the transition period should be almost over, and then we will enter the climax of this volume. I will try my best to write. The advantage is that just like today, the original volume of about 4,500 words may become about 6,000, haha.)
