Act 306 New competition system(1/2)
"This is a training planetary meter," Ming pointed to a tall magic device in the room and introduced him. "Its principle is very similar to that of Orgifinta, of course it is not that magical, and it cannot project you into an independent space."
"But unlike ordinary magic furnaces, it does not require any raw materials. There is a video crystal as a projector. Several simple magic arrays are embedded in the input station, which can be used to simulate the properties of several types of simple materials. You can use these magic arrays to shape something, and the final result will be displayed in the projector."
She patted the mechanical console: "Come on, put your hands here, sink your mind into it, and try to create something, in multiple parallel ways, the faster the better."
Fang Zhu noticed this unique device before entering the room.
It looks like a star orbital instrument used on a ship, with two crisscrossing orbits, and a circle of orbits below as a chassis.
There are metal balls of all sizes running in orbit, which are typical planetary gauges, with separate magic furnaces inside. Craftsmen project their consciousness into them and can see the etheric space inside.
But planetary spheres are usually individual, and he rarely sees such complexity.
There are countless pipes connecting the input station, and the crystal is inserted on the side of the magic device, facing the airspace in the center of the two crisscrossing tracks.
Under Ming's guidance, Fang Zhu tentatively pressed his gloves on the metal panel, and until this point it was almost the same as using an ordinary planetary meter. Then he sank his mind into it, and a vast space appeared in his field of vision.
It was almost exactly the same as the planetary meter he had used in Elpahin, except that this space was much wider than the former, it was like a two-dimensional plane gradually unfolding and gradually filling the entire horizon.
The space gradually lengthened and became three-dimensional, but there was a blank space inside. Fang Yu was confused and the words of Ming came to his ears, "Try to imagine a material."
Fang Yu subconsciously thought of Han Tie. The Qihai Traveler's name was short of that kind. He wanted to use Han Tie to transform the bottom cabin to obtain better wind element adaptability.
But Ming's voice became unhappy, "What are you thinking about? It's simpler, the magic array can't simulate such advanced materials."
Fang Yu was stunned for a moment. The cold iron in his consciousness was demoted to pure iron. A node with twinkling stars immediately extended out of the blank space. It was the "alchemy formula" of Aitalia's lightweight pure iron.
Among these nodes are about the state properties of this pig iron, and about the physical and chemical properties. This pure iron has only 123 nodes, which means that it is not big in shape, has very simple properties, and does not have etheric properties.
However, there is no sign on these nodes. Not to mention connections and transformations, it is a fantasy to recognize them.
But for alchemists, understanding these nodes is the basis of the apprenticeship era.
This is especially true for square plucks.
The caller needs to use the system to recognize them, but he can close his eyes and correspond to his memory one by one. The memories he practiced repeatedly in Kapka suddenly surged into his heart.
The nodes in the first area represent the state properties, size, weight, shape, and even the internal yield state of matter. If it is the easiest to change its shape, it is generally only necessary to connect twenty or thirty nodes.
Plastic changes also require balanced stress, but as long as energy correlation is involved, ether can be compensated. The alchemists' methods are even more exaggerated than the technology on Earth.
Some properties are almost unchangeable, such as the physical and chemical properties of matter, but these two properties are related to elements in the essence of Aitalia, and alchemists cannot turn stones into gold.
The premise is that you have to add money.
Ether can shape everything, because ether and elements can transform each other in a certain state, but there will be losses in the middle, and forcibly changing the properties of certain substances is not worth the cost most of the time.
The Sage Stone, which can unconditionally transform substances in the legend, only exists in the legend.
After figuring out the functions of the simple magic arrays engraved in this device, Fang Yu became familiar with them next - those magic arrays were not made out of nothing, but 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 meter certainly does not have that much computing power.
Fang Rong thought that he had just imagined that Han Tie must have almost made the machine smoke. No wonder Ms. Ming’s voice outside was so annoyed. This planetary meter is very special and must be valuable.
With a thought, five flashes of lights emerged from the circuit of the magic gloves. The lights were divided into two and four, and in an instant they connected the twenty-four nodes of the first area.
Their positions change, and the pure iron refracted on the crystal projector is also changing. It collapses inward like melting, fluctuating like a metal liquid.
It seemed that in an instant, it turned into a dagger that was one elbow long, but this was a simple iron dagger that had not been carburized or changed its crystal structure - because this machine could not simulate complex changes in properties.
But even so, Fang Yu was still a little surprised.
He now discovered the difference between this planetary meter, which was much slower than he expected, and it took more computing power to connect every node.
It's like not being made, but projecting something that doesn't exist in the material world. A large amount of computing power is consumed 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 also had the same feeling when using Siren to create something out of thin air. Only through massive computing power can some simple matter be constructed, and a huge amount of ether is required to be invested.
That feeling-
Yes, it is ancient alchemy.
Creation.
Of course, this planetary meter is just a simplified mode, without additional investment in ether, and the computing power used is much lower than that of his Siren construction.
Fang Yu disconnected the connection with the device in an instant. He turned around and looked at Ming Ming beside him. Ms. Ming was smiling like an old fox who had succeeded in his plan, looking at him with a smile, without piercing it.
A low voice was heard from the crowd.
"It's faster than Lanzhou," someone couldn't help but debut, "I haven't even seen it clearly, and it was done in an instant."
"But there weren't as many as I imagined. I thought the geniuses that craftsmen would always choose were taller than us. I don't know what Weiyu would do."
"It's a pity that apart from Ed, none of the members of the group have ever appeared on the stage. There is also Guland, but Guland has no reference value."
Ming turned around and scolded them: "Don't whisper and watch carefully. This is the use of multiple parallelism. In that maze space, you need to shape everything in the same way, use creativity to overcome difficulties and defeat your opponents. Every minute and every second determines whether you will be eliminated."
The house became quiet.
Ming turned around again and said to the other party, "Did you notice it?"
"Is this ancient alchemy?" Fang Yu asked unexpectedly.
"There are some similarities," Ming nodded, "but what's interesting is that this planetary meter was actually copied from the technical method of the Tower of Silver. Although it is not as high as the Orgifen Tower, it is somewhat similar to the ancient alchemy that Anloss taught you."
"So the competition in the spire trial is actually a practical application of such ancient alchemy?" Fang Rong became interested. Isn't this the scene he dreamed of? His creation technique is still in the early stage, and the structure projected with the Siren structure is almost equal to a toy.
Now there is a place where he can experiment with the creation technique, and even let him see the scene of the real use of the creation technique, which is simply better.
He even forgot that one game. Even if there was no game, he would definitely want to go and see if he heard that there was such a place. For the first time, he felt that this trip to the Empire was right.
Ming was a little surprised by his sudden excitement, but he nodded, "But you don't have to be too excited. I probably guessed what you were thinking. No one tried this way in the past. But that space is a special space after all, and it takes a thousand times more effort to create something out of thin air in the material world, and it is not worth the effort. The method An Luoser taught you is to give us an extra idea, but at least in my opinion it still has great flaws now, and it is very practical to purify the materials."
Fang Yu scratched his head. Ming was prejudiced by ancient alchemy like others, but this was normal. Even he himself had not found a proper means. His talent in multiple parallelism was different from that of ordinary people, and not everyone could invest so much computing power, let alone the huge amount of ether.
His own Siren's construction is still a toy.
But this did not prevent him from still wanting to try it. Since the warlocks of the Silver Tower have created such a space, it means that they must have their own ideas in the art of creation.
Although it is not clear whether this idea is consistent with his, it is also good to discuss it, and you may have unexpected gains.
He couldn't help asking, "Will the warlocks of the Silver Tower answer our questions?"
Ming looked at him unexpectedly, but it was good to make the guy full of energy. Sometimes she felt a little disappointed. The other party's talent was the best among the people she had ever seen, but she looked like she didn't want to get involved in 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 was great. Fang Rong remembered the book knight he had seen in Aiyin Bullock. In addition to the creation technique, he also had a lot of questions to ask those people.
They obviously recognized Miss Tata.
But what exactly does the technical route of the Fairy Dragon Soul come from?
And why is it among the jade fragments?
"Do you want to try again?" Ming asked him, "A dagger is a little easier for you. How about trying to make a construct?"
She stared at him suspiciously as she said, always feeling that this kid hadn't done his best. Although the dagger had been generated very quickly, Ming felt that Weiyu and Wuming could also reach this level.
She thought she was quite accurate in judging people.
Fang Yu shook his head. The machine was a bit too simple. He lacked interest. "Senior Ming, you should be clear that making the structure involves design circuits and making crystals. Many of the steps are changes in the etheric properties of the third zone. This planetary meter cannot even simulate the chemical changes in the second zone, and even cannot turn iron into steel. Even if I set up a clockwork fairy, it is just an empty shelf with its own appearance."
"That's true," Ming knew that what he was saying was the truth, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. "That's it, the teaching purpose has been achieved anyway."
Hearing the teaching purpose, Fang Yu suddenly realized something and asked: "Senior Ming, you asked me to test this thing, saying it is related to the subsequent competition. Can we make combat structures in the trial of Orgifenta?"
"Of course," Ming glared at him, a little bit disgusted, "Or what do you think I asked you to come up and you're better-looking? In the game, you can create everything you can, and you must use them to deal with levels, even challenges from your opponents."
Square leopard was speechless for a moment.
But Ming's words still surprised him a little, "Then the combat craftsmen take advantage of it. Isn't this an alchemist competition?"
"You think beautifully," said Ming, "I know what you think, but no way, your creation has a special way of working in that space. This explanation is too complicated and I don't have much trouble. You will naturally understand it when the time comes. Remember, this is a competition of craftsmen, comparing your creativity, problem-solving thinking, and skillful means of using alchemy and tools."
She looked at everyone, "There will be six levels in the maze, each level has a different theme. In these levels, you will meet opponents from different regions, and may be allies. You can choose your own strategy, but it is ultimately for victory. The game itself does not limit you to win, but the rules will amplify the craftsman's abilities and use your brain more than brute force. Of course, if you can really knock your opponent out with one punch, you can choose to do this-"
"But when you get there, you will find that your personal strength is meager. To give a simple example, even the most outstanding craftsman masters in the Gorlandcan dock need hundreds of helpers to build a floating ship. There are many professional alchemists here. A craftsman can make a clockwork fairy, but several craftsmen can make a larger device by coordinating their work and working together. There is no limit to your choice, materials, or even the ether you invest in that space, but only time is limited."
Ming read the last sentence repeatedly: "Remember, only time is limited-"
"So division of labor and cooperation is your best choice. The significance of this training camp is also here. Only by familiarizing yourself with each other can you cooperate in the official competition." She glanced at someone, "I know that some people are all-round craftsmen who are good at all in all fields. But even if you surpass others in every field, you cannot be distracted from the second use. No matter how efficient your efficiency is, it is not as high as the cooperation between two people, three people, or even more people."
Fang Rong always felt that this was meaningful, as if he was worried that he would be proud of his talent, but in fact, craftsmen were not unfamiliar with him in such matters as working with them.
Ms. Ming's words are instructive to most geniuses present.
Because most of the craftsmen of the callers are alone, there is often only one craftsman in a team, and at this stage they rarely engage in such large-scale cooperative and coordinated projects.
However, Fang Yu is different. Not to mention that there is an element in his group that studies alchemy, just completing the Qihai Traveler's account is a systematic project.
Under the guidance of old shipwrecks, he was already quite familiar with this kind of project.
But he didn't refute, and stood aside and waited for Ming to finish his words.
"Find a good position," Ming concluded at last, "to give full play to the expertise of everyone in the team. The meaning of an all-round craftsman in this competition is that he can take multiple positions and is an excellent free agent. In the trial of spire in history, there are also examples of weaker teams defeating stronger opponents through inconsistent cooperation, so even if you are not the strongest, you must be good at finding opportunities from cooperation."
She paused for a moment and finally added: "This is the first thing you need to learn in the remaining month. What is left is multiple parallelism, which is also the top priority. The former needs to be familiar with yourself, while the latter will teach you a course with Ed as my assistant."
Fang Yu was already a god, but after hearing this, he almost scared his soul out, "Wait, Senior Ming, Assistant Teacher, me?" He finally knew why the other party was smiling so cunningly and insidiously. It turned out that he had been making a plan.
He seemed to have found the source of his previous anxiety, and couldn't help but subconsciously retort: "I can't."
