My magic weapon is the computer

() Lin Zhuowen's wish to buy the flying magic weapon first when he had the spirit stone failed to come true after all.

The rewards for the three alchemy assistant missions are not much, barely enough to pay the deposit for three lowest-level alchemy missions, and not even enough to release one alchemy guidance mission.

The so-called alchemy guidance task is to invite a person with alchemy experience to guide you when you are a novice alchemist, so that you can familiarize yourself with the alchemy process as soon as possible and reduce the chance of failure.

Lin Zhuowen couldn't help but rejoice that when he was an alchemy assistant, he met Qiu Guanghao, a rare enthusiastic person in the world of immortal cultivation. With the alchemy experience and skills taught by Qiu Guanghao, Lin Zhuowen was much better than ordinary alchemy novices, and he was confident even if he had no guidance , You can successfully refine it by yourself after a few times of exploration.

Because the sect's alchemy tasks need to be adjusted at any time according to the amount of elixir reserves, the management point for such tasks is directly set in the alchemy cave of Swallowing Cloud Peak.

There is not only one separate alchemy room in the alchemy cave, but also a hall, where hundreds of alchemy furnaces are placed in large and small sizes. The alchemy task management point of the sect is set here. The rent is naturally cheaper than the alchemy room, and if you are doing the alchemy task of the sect, you can use the alchemy furnace here for free.

Lin Zhuowen was quite confident, so he handed over all the spirit stones on his body as a deposit, and took three lowest-level alchemy tasks and received the corresponding alchemy recipes at the same time. This is another benefit of accepting the sect's alchemy tasks. Get Dan Fang for free.

As long as the sect's resources reserve needs, there is generally no limit to the number of alchemy tasks that can be taken over. For each alchemy task, several alchemy materials will be provided according to the level of the alchemy to be refined, and the difficulty of refining the alchemy. At that time, you only need to hand over the elixirs required by the task. Quantity is enough, of course, the specific result will also be affected by the quality of the pill, which depends on the specific situation.

For example, the alchemy task that Lin Zhuowen took over requires the lowest-level "Bigu Pill" to be refined. Each mission can receive two pieces of alchemy materials. % will not lose money, of course, people who are skilled in alchemy can take over multiple tasks at once, and then use a large or medium furnace to refine, so the efficiency will be very high.

There are three types of pill furnaces in the alchemy cave hall: small, medium and large. The small pill furnace can refine up to two pills at a time, the medium pill furnace can refine up to ten pills at a time, and the large pill furnace can refine up to three pills at a time. Ten pills, as for the larger pill furnace, you need to rent a separate alchemy room. Because of the small size of the small pill furnace and the small amount of materials each time, it is easier to control, so it is best Suitable for alchemy novice like Lin Zhuowen.

Of course, if you refine a middle-grade or top-grade pill, the school will also convert it according to the price, such as Bigu Dan, the price of the middle-grade Bigu Dan is twice that of the low-grade Bigu Pill, and the price of the high-grade Bigu Pill is three times that of the low-grade Bigu Pill , So Lin Zhuowen took the task of refining Bigu Pill three times. If he has practiced the top-grade Bigu Pill, then he only needs to hand in one top-grade Bigu Pill to complete the three tasks.

It was Lin Zhuowen's first alchemy. Although he was a little confident, he still chose the small alchemy furnace that was most suitable for beginners.

Of course, before alchemy, Lin Zhuowen studied the bigu pill formula he received first, and found that the pill formula was really rough, the amount of each material was written in detail, and the processing steps in the refining process were explained It is also clear, but the description of some time and temperature in the specific refining process is extremely vague, probably because this world has not yet clearly quantified this aspect.

For example, the temperature is low temperature, normal temperature, high temperature and super high temperature, and the time is one breath, two breaths, ten breaths and eight breaths. In Lin Zhuowen's opinion, such words should not appear in Danfang at all. The function of Danfang is similar to a textbook and should be rigorous And norms, such a concept that cannot be scientifically clarified and refined, makes Lin Zhuowen, who has received science education since childhood, really unable to start.

In this regard, Lin Zhuowen can only slowly explore by himself. This is a kind of helplessness, but it is also a kind of necessity. After all, there are only a few people who cultivate immortals in this world, and the inheritance of cultivators is relatively closed. In the widely circulated world, it is difficult to form non-material concepts such as time and temperature that need to jointly formulate standardized measurement units. Even if someone thinks of formulating a standard measurement unit, if this standard cannot be widely disseminated and recognized, it will be very difficult. Will soon be submerged in the long river of history.

However, Lin Zhuowen believes that with the scientific education he has received and the use of scientific methods to re-record and perfect the alchemy process, he believes that he will succeed soon.

Confidence is not necessarily equal to strength, "bang-bang-bang-" blasting the furnace three times in a row not only took away Lin Zhuowen's six alchemy materials, but also took away his confidence.

Depend on!Isn't alchemy a life skill in the game?Isn't it supposed to make money?Why did you let my brother go bankrupt instead?

Lin Zhuowen was hit hard, but soon he was relieved. Most of the life skills in the game were spent in the early stage to make money in the later stage. What does my investment mean? The skills of money tend to make more money in the later stage.

Lin Zhuowen regained his confidence, and sold the Huiqi Pill presented by Qiu Guanghao directly to the sect at a discounted price. As a reserve resource, the sect bought these pills for a long time, of course, the price could not compare to selling them in the market.

Fangshi is also the market for immortal cultivators. Most of them are located in the steep mountains, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch. Lin Zhuowen has only heard of a treasure in the north of the Qiyan Mountains, which is about a day and a night away. The square city established and managed by the Lingpai, of course, the distance of about one day and night refers to the distance traveled by the monk's imperial weapon during the foundation establishment period. If Lin Zhuowen's pair of fleshy feet drove over, it would be unknown how long it would take.

Huiqi Pill is very valuable, at least for Lin Zhuowen who is currently penniless. The spirit stone sold by one Huiqi Pill is enough for him to make nearly [-] Bigu Pill refining tasks.

Lin Zhuowen did not hesitate at all, and used all of them as a deposit for the Bigu Pill mission. For the benefit of the later stage, the initial investment is necessary.

Of course, Lin Zhuowen didn't just waste spirit stones and make alchemy indiscriminately. This time, Lin Zhuowen no longer refined two pills in each furnace, but separated them, and only practiced one in each furnace. Every time Lin Zhuowen does alchemy, he will record the alchemy process in detail on the computer. After the alchemy fails, he will analyze the cause of the failure and sum up the experience based on the experience taught by Qiu Guanghao and the knowledge stored in his computer.

As the number of failures increased, Lin Zhuowen gradually realized that he was too blind and confident at the beginning. As a novice, it was his first alchemy without guidance, just like a person learning to drive and memorizing theoretical knowledge, but When you get in the car for the first time without a coach by your side, you will inevitably make various mistakes. Knowing what is wrong and knowing how to avoid mistakes are completely two different things, just like when the teacher writes on the blackboard, everyone knows, etc. When it was my turn to do the questions, I was caught blind. The so-called high-sightedness and low-handedness are nothing more than that.

Fortunately for Lin Zhuowen, the computer life device can record the alchemy process in detail, and find out the mistakes or deficiencies in it through video playback, so as to gradually improve.

The others looked at Lin Zhuowen's frying furnace again and again, and performed the cleansing technique again and again to clear the black ash all over his body, and they would subconsciously leave the vicinity of his pill furnace, quietly discussing whether this person had a brain problem or a spiritual problem. There are so many stones that there is nowhere to use them, they are purely for listening.

Lin Zhuowen didn't care about other people's eyes and comments, he just made alchemy again and again, and then gradually optimized the refining process in the computer again and again. Relax the game, and continue after the offline plug-in automatically replenishes the spiritual power.

Finally, when there were still [-] copies of alchemy materials left, Lin Zhuowen didn't continue to fry the furnace even though he hadn't succeeded, disappointing those who were waiting to continue listening for free.

After that, Lin Zhuowen continued to improve and improve. Finally, when there were only the last three pieces of alchemy materials left, Lin Zhuowen turned on the alchemy furnace again, and he did not continue to smell the pungent smell of burnt materials, but a faint smell Although the fragrance is not obvious, to Lin Zhuowen's scorched and smelly nose, it is like a white swan falling in the crowd of crows. A pale yellow pill, what else could it be if it wasn't Bigu Dan?

The lower grade of Bigu Dan is light yellow and has a light fragrance, which can make the user neither hungry nor thirsty within one month; the middle grade is pure white, has a strong fragrance, and can make the user neither hungry nor thirsty within two months; It is white in color and full of aroma, which can make the user not hungry or thirsty within three months.

Lin Zhuowen inquired about the classification knowledge of Bigu Pill, and put away this low-grade Bigu Pill.

Lin Zhuowen was not in a hurry to refine all the following three Bigu pill materials, but closed his eyes and sank into the life machine computer. What he has to do now is not to refine alchemy, but to program the process of alchemy just now. Of course The programming here is not automated, because many steps in the alchemy process cannot be completed by computers alone, such as when to add what materials, how to add them, etc. What Lin Zhuowen can do is to do it at each point in time. Reminders, what should be done next, how to do it, and what should be paid attention to.

Lin Zhuowen's programmed alchemy process can accurately grasp the time to the second, but it can't do anything about the important factor of temperature. The reason is very simple. The computer has a clock, but no thermometer.

Lin Zhuowen did know the principle of ordinary thermometers. It is nothing more than adding some liquid in a glass tube that expands with heat and contracts with cold. It's not something ordinary glass can bear.

But if you can't measure the temperature accurately, then it will be difficult for you to optimize the alchemy process, at least it will be difficult to optimize to a better effect. The reason is very simple. Some small changes during alchemy, it is difficult for you to determine whether it is due to temperature changes It was caused by other reasons. Without a thermometer, maybe after a lot of repeated attempts, I can optimize this alchemy program to a certain extent, but it is definitely not optimized to the best, and the time and cost it takes are not just ordinary Doubling it several times, but the higher the cost of optimization, because even a little bit of improvement requires trial and error to calculate and eliminate the interference of temperature, and the most important point is that I cannot make more detailed adjustments in temperature. optimization.
