Master Tongtian

Chapter 145 Is my knowledge really outdated (14)

‘Click~’

The third gold-melting crucible cracked, and the melted thorium in the pot flowed out, dripping on the wooden refining table, making a loud 'chi~~' sound, and a ball of open flame flew up.

With quick eyesight and quick thinking, Gendeloni grabbed a handful of fire extinguishing sand with her mage's hand and quickly covered the flames.

But the fire-extinguishing sand was mixed with the Thorium liquid, forming a dark silver mixture.

These 50 fulsa of thorium are considered to be temporarily useless, and multiple processes will be required to re-purify the thorium for use.

Gendeloni pursed her lips and looked at Rosen with her hands on her hips, her big eyes full of suspicion.

"Rosen, do you know how to refine weapons?!"

Rosen looked embarrassed, and Anna sat in the corner of the room covering her mouth and snickering.

"Mistake~ It was a mistake just now~ I will compensate you at 1.5 times the original price."

The technique was clearly demonstrated in the virtual machine and showed that everything was normal, but when it came to actual operation, various accidents always occurred.

This also shows that the weapon refiner is a profession that is closely connected with theory and practice. It is impossible to rely solely on thinking like a pure mage.

The purity of materials, the quality of tools, and unpredictable environmental effects are full of random factors that are difficult to control.

Even after reading through Gendeloni's notes and doing many refining experiments in the magic virtual machine, in reality, I'm afraid I still have to go through the mines one by one.

Fortunately, money soothed Gendeloni's emotions very well, and she took out the fourth spare financial cauldron.

"I have prepared 6 in total, so you can only fail three more times at most."

"No, not anymore."

After three consecutive failures, he has mastered the trick. Just like in the previous life when producing parts in the factory, he just said "leave enough safety margin".

The fourth time started.

Rosen slowly input mana into the financial array on the outer layer of the crucible, as slowly as possible to ensure that the temperature of the crucible increased evenly.

Seeing this, Gendeloni nodded in approval.

"It's a bit more presentable this time."

Then he took the initiative to find reasons for Rosen's previous failures.

"I can see that your mana strength and polarity are very high, and the quality of the refining tools I bought is very average. It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable with it."

"However, before a qualified weapon refining mage actually starts refining a weapon, the first preparation is to test the performance of the tool!"

"Although you did conduct a test just now, obviously, your so-called test is just superficial!"

Rosen was very embarrassed. He wanted to understand the performance of the tool in depth, but he was not inexperienced.

So he remained silent and took all Gendeloni's words to heart.

This time things were much better.

The thorium was successfully melted into an incandescent liquid, and the gold-melting crucible was also intact.

"very good!"

"I have already prepared the constant temperature fluid, you can start directly!"

Constant temperature liquid is a transparent alchemical product. It is obviously a liquid, but its heat insulation ability is very strong and its performance is extremely stable.

After molten metal is poured into it, it can remain in a liquid state for half an hour, many times longer than in the air.

The metal remains in a molten state, giving the mage ample time to operate.

Rosen's thoughts moved slightly. The mage's hand gently picked up the molten gold crucible, tilted it slightly, and directly introduced the constant-temperature liquid that was as transparent as glass.

It can be seen that after the incandescent metal liquid entered it, it was immediately squeezed into a ball by the strange liquid and suspended in the middle of the liquid.

Rosen sighed secretly: 'Alchemy is really magical, but there seems to be no such strange material on earth. ’

Refining is one of the branches of alchemy, and the alchemy motto of this world is 'turn sand into gold'.

In Rosen's view, alchemists are the inventors of this world, able to create things that do not exist at all in nature.

Back to topic.

The next step is to use the hands of the mage to shape the molten metal.

At this time, the speed must be fast and accurate.

It is necessary to consider the impact of the upper and lower pressure difference of the constant temperature liquid on the molten metal, the volume change after the metal solidifies, and the internal stress pull of the material caused by uneven temperature changes.

In short, the technique is quite complex, and a serious weapon refiner must undergo long-term training to create a qualified product.

Fortunately, Rosen is not a 'serious' alchemist.

As long as he selects output, the desktop program will temporarily grant him computing power far beyond that of ordinary people, as well as precise control capabilities supported by computing power.

He selected the metal liquid suspended in the liquid and thought silently in his mind.

‘Start refining weapons. ’

Immediately afterwards, he felt his mana start to move, and there was a feeling of being controlled, similar to "start printing". The control was not strong, but it was similar to guidance.

What you have to do is to let go of your mind and let your own magic power follow the guidance.

Time passed by second by second, and the melted thorium in the constant temperature liquid also cooled down little by little, becoming increasingly difficult to control.

But Rosen didn't care and just let his mind go.

After about 10 minutes passed, a stream of information flashed through my mind: ‘The molten metal is formed, let it sit and wait for cooling’.

Rosen gently held the main body of the shaped magic weapon with his mage's hand. After waiting for about 15 minutes, the flow of information appeared in his mind again.

‘The main body of the instrument is formed. ’

He immediately fished out the main body of the cooled and solidified instrument.

This is a highly hollow bracelet with an extremely complex internal structure, filled with various seemingly irregular cavities.

Gendeloni couldn't help but ask after taking a look.

"Are you a natural weapon refiner?!"

She studied logic weapon making, and the shape of the magic weapon she created completely conformed to precise geometry. It was either a circle, a rectangle, a triangle, or even a conic section.

Rosen's creations look very much like the products of natural weapon refining, but upon closer inspection, they are completely different.

But she couldn't tell what exactly was different.

Rosen shook his head: "No, I am a logical weapon refiner just like you."

This is the optimal manifold calculated using differential geometry.

It can minimize mana turbulence and random shock of spells to achieve stable spell casting.

Of course, it is not calculated in a vacuum, because the amount of calculation is amazing and it is not something humans do.

This was based on his previous life experience and the actual needs of this life. He first sketched out the general shape, and then fine-tuned and optimized it little by little.

Naturally, Gendeloni didn't understand the key. Seeing Rosen showing off knowledge she didn't understand, she suddenly felt that he was mysterious again.

After the main body was completed, Rosen immediately asked: "Where are the resonance gems and filling base fluid?"

Gendeloni lost all her pride and said quickly: "Everything is ready."

She immediately brought the things over.

Rosen took a look and found that the filling base liquid was okay. It was like melted jelly and could change its shape at will, as long as there were no bubbles inside.

However, the shape of the resonant gemstone could not meet the requirements. The error was too large and it could not fit into the bracelet.

He immediately said: "The gem is too rough. Rub the grinding wheel for me and apply the finest material."

"good."

Gendeloni immediately complied, and at the end she defended herself in a low voice.

"The shape you gave is too strange. I have never processed a gemstone of this shape before. I can't control it well."

Rosen nodded to express understanding and commented with a straight face.

"You are a very good weapon refiner. Your only shortcoming is that your knowledge is out of date."

Gendeloni was a little dissatisfied and opened her mouth to defend, but in the end she held back.

I thought to myself: ‘I want to see what you can come up with. ‘

On the other side, Thrandis saw Rosen pretending to be pretentious and frightened Gendeloni, and found it very interesting.

She didn't expose it, just turned her head and snickered.

On the other side, after getting the resonance gem, input the predetermined shape, and Rosen clicked 'Start Refining' again.

I saw him gently stepping on the pedal of the grinding wheel with both feet, controlling the speed of the grinding wheel, and modifying the shape of the resonating gemstone bit by bit.

Ten minutes later, he polished the surface of the gem into a complex curved surface. It looked like a twisted bean, but don't think that the shape of the bean is random. This is also the best manifold that Rosen spent his energy to calculate.

There need to be three resonance gems in total, some big and some small.

Rosen spent half an hour polishing it carefully, and finally prepared the polished gemstone, thorium main body, and filling base fluid.

His eyes were slightly dazed, and he once again allowed the weapon refining program to run stably.

In Gendeloni's eyes, Rosen's face was indifferent, and his technique was exquisite and unique. Every movement was done in one go, without any unnecessary operations.

She couldn't understand it more and more, and she felt less and less confident.

"Is my knowledge really out of date? But I just learned it not long ago."

The alchemy professor of the college has also emphasized many times that this is the most cutting-edge alchemical knowledge in the Golden Land.

‘Am I being deceived? ’

While she was confused, Rosen completed the first official magic weapon.

The magic weapon is a bracelet, with a dark silver thorium base, inlaid with three indigo intermediate resonance crystals, and wrapped and protected with a medium-quality filling base fluid.

Overall, it looks a bit like a glazed ceramic bracelet, but its workmanship reveals an indescribable sense of precision and beauty.

Gendeloni commented.

"Although I don't know the specific purpose of this bracelet, the workmanship alone makes people feel that it is a quite powerful magic weapon."

This was far beyond her level of weapon refining, and she had never seen a similar texture on other magic weapons. She felt that this thing was particularly perfect and beautiful.

She couldn't help but ask: "Can you tell me, what is the use of this?"

Rosen didn't mind a brief introduction and glanced at Thrandis. Thrandis also nodded slightly.

He said: "A magic weapon to assist in casting spells. By borrowing this magic weapon, I can use powerful spells."

"Then it was successfully built?"

When she asked this question, Gendeloni felt magical in her heart.

As a serious weapon refiner, she was unable to judge whether another weapon refiner had completed his or her work.

When this happens, it means that the other party is either messing around or is far superior to her.

But looking at the opponent's creation, the possibility of chaos is almost zero.

Therefore, we can only say that the other party is far more powerful than her.

But he looks younger than himself. How did he learn this?

"Is my knowledge really out of date?"

This thought came to my mind for the third time.

He originally wanted to make money by refining weapons in Silver Moon Castle, but now he has lost his confidence and feels that his future is bleak. The oath I once swore to my father has become a joke.

Rosen was checking the bracelet, so he didn't pay attention to Gendeloni's status.

He nodded casually: "It worked. It's better than I imagined."

By borrowing this magic weapon, the difficulty of casting spells is reduced to three stars.

He couldn't help but think: "Perhaps I don't need to be so obsessed with pursuing my spell-casting ability. As long as I have enough money, I can use magic tools to assist me."

He also thought: 'With the decline of divine power, there will only be more and more mages in the future, and the ability to cast spells is the most difficult to practice, so the demand for auxiliary magic weapons will definitely skyrocket. ’

‘So, there is a lot to be done in refining weapons! ’

He decided to develop his abilities in this area.

With this thought in mind, he put the bracelet on his wrist and said with a smile: "Here, let's make another one as a wedding gift for my wife Anna."

Thrandis narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Ah~ I'm looking forward to it very much."

Gendeloni was in an extremely depressed state. When she heard this, she spread her hands and pursed her lips.

"Hey~ I said, please fully consider the mood of me, a lonely mage, and don't show off your love in front of me, okay?"

Thrandis said: "Jenny, don't stay stuck in the shadow of the past. Look forward, everything will be fine."

"It won't get better, there are no good men in this world, and that certainly doesn't include your husband."

Rosen was moved when he heard this: "What about Miss Gendeloni's father?"

"He is even more of a bastard! My mother just died in childbirth, and the next day he married a young and beautiful lady. I hate him!"

Gendeloni really hated it, and she was already gritting her teeth just by mentioning it.

Rosen wisely changed the subject: "Let's get started."
