Chapter 45 Alchemy
Back in the wilderness, everyone reappeared in the dark jungle. "()
Before he could speak, Chen Yi's bloody emblem had already issued a dip in the prompt sound: "No. e5371 has made a breakthrough in alchemy knowledge, and the alchemy specialty has been promoted to the expert level."
Chen Yi was stunned immediately.
Now he has understood why alchemy specialty is so difficult to obtain as a hidden ability in the city. Before the Third Rebellion, the level of human technology was still extremely low. The ability of alchemy was far more common at that time than it is now. The magical atmosphere is far higher than the current Kewu team.
However, the super-large rebellion in the Third Era caused the Lord to fall countless times, which greatly restricted this ability, and no adventurers could easily obtain it.
With the development of the earth's society and the improvement of new technological power, the master has found another development path for adventurers, which is the technological and military equipment developed based on the earth's technology. Alchemy gradually declined and disappeared into the adventurers' world. In the past, there are only a small chance of obtaining it in very few places.
For this reason, when Chen Yi was observing real alchemy, he gave up on many important rules of creative ability, because he was afraid of causing improvements in his ability and attracting the attention of the Supreme Council.
Because he never received a heraldry prompt during the learning process, Chen Yi made a mistake, thinking that what he learned might not be enough to improve his specialty.
Unexpectedly, this happened anyway.
It is estimated that the reason why it was not triggered at that time may be because the star array is still effective and blocked the perception ability of the main system.
Considering that Chen Yi did not actually read and understand the most important knowledge, that is, level 5 specialization does not represent all alchemy knowledge.
This means that even if you are promoted to the highest level of alchemy, you may not be able to master one-fifth of the content of real alchemy.
For cities, this may be the limit they can accept.
When Chen Yi thought of this, he was scared to tears of cold sweat. In this way, if he learned more, he would probably really lead the master out.
So his face changed and he said to everyone viciously: "This matter has ended today, and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future. If anyone dares to say it... don't blame me for turning against me!"
"Don't worry, Chen Yi, we won't tell you about this." Zhang Jianjun immediately replied. He also knew that this matter was very important. Once it was spread, no one could afford the consequences. Keeping Chen Yi secret is actually to save his life. .
Chen Yi nodded and said to Zeus: "Segment the information you recorded, you must divide it into details. The more detailed the better. Unless I ask you, I will never tell me what the content is."
"Zeus understand."
Originally, I planned to continue to study some of the recorded materials after I came back, but now it seems that even a small part of the things I brought back must be carefully cut, broken, crushed, and then selectively master.
However, in this way, it would be a little trouble for Chen Yi to help Lao Meng make high-end youthful spring water.
Because he did not learn systematic creation at the beginning, but only understood the rules, his specialization ability was improved by two levels at once. He left the specific method of making the elixir of youth in Zeus's database , If you don’t dare to learn now, you won’t be able to use it.
When I told Lao Meng about this situation, this guy's face immediately became bitter.
After a long time of love, I still had nothing.
Chen Yi smiled bitterly: "You don't have to worry, there is still a solution."
To solve the problem, we must first have a more detailed and comprehensive understanding of real and systematic alchemy.
The power system of the city can be basically divided into three categories so far.
The first category is a strengthening system established on the basis of urban rules, which can be called a standard. Complete tasks, receive rewards, and improve strength. As for how this strength comes, whether it is scientific, and whether there is a basis for existence, it does not matter, because it The basis for existence is that dreams come true.
The second type is real technology, but the so-called real technology is based on the law outside the space. The reason why they are called real technology is just because when they leave space, they still conform to the laws of the universe and can still play a role. .But in space, those laws are just added artificially, and are not true.
The third category is real alchemy. In contrast to real technology, it is based on the truth based on the laws of space, and it is false outside the space. Just like in this space, the boiling point of water may not be one hundred degrees, but two hundred degrees. .All inventions based on this cannot be used once they are separated from space, or the rules of space are changed, and they cannot be used.
Therefore, real alchemy is real science in space, it is a systematic project. Its development still conforms to the characteristics of technology.
For example, if you want to build a car, you have to first have raw materials, then use these materials to process the shell, engine, and tires, and finally integrate them into a car.
This is the process of real alchemy.
It is science, it is just a unique scientific system based on the laws of space rather than the laws of the universe.
But for system alchemy, it is to collect raw materials, and then you say I want you to form a car, and then these materials form a car by themselves, ignoring all technical details. If the alchemy specialization level is not enough, then you may not be able to directly create it. Cars, but you can also make them parts.
Here, alchemy specialization determines the jumping process. The higher the degree of specialization, the greater the jumping amplitude.
From this perspective, the main system of space itself is the highest crystallization of real alchemy - the master first formulates rules for space, then creates the main system based on the rules, and then uses the system to manipulate energy to do what he wants to do , forming a perfect cycle.
Adventurers are in reverse, first using systematic constructs to analyze spatial rules, find theories similar to Newton's three laws, and then practice and develop according to the theory. They have an extra process of exploring rules than dominant, so they also develop in terms of development. It is even more difficult, and at the same time, there are inevitably various creative shortcomings due to insufficient theory.
There are many aspects of the development of alchemy, mainly including five aspects: magic array, potions, equipment, props and skill scrolls. Alchemy specialization only determines the jump level, and the knowledge mastered determines the direction.
But no matter which direction it is, as long as one of them is mastered to perfection, it must be the highest alchemy specialization. This is why the so-called top specialization is just one-fifth of the content of real alchemy.
After experiencing the great changes in the Third Era, the Lord could no longer allow and accept the adventurer to master all the contents of the law.
If it weren't for the Zerg's threat, they might not even have one fifth of these.
Even so, the city still has various restrictions - for example, you cannot decide what knowledge you learn, because it depends on the reward and is very random. No matter what knowledge you learn, you will eventually improve your specialization.
If you have learned a little of each kind of knowledge, then congratulations, your ability is basically useless.
Chen Yi is like this now. His alchemy specialty has been upgraded to the expert level, but it is all a piece of messy knowledge. Although this has expanded his knowledge, it can really play a very small role.
Fortunately, he still has a chance to remedy - compared with other adventurers, Zeus still has at least a considerable amount of content, which allows him to study selectively on the road to promotion in the future, and make up for the previous three. The flaws of the chaotic level of expertise.
According to Chen Yi's idea, he ultimately chose one of these five directions as his main future development direction.
Considering the huge destructive effect that the six-pointed star array once played in the city, Chen Yi knew that this was a forbidden area, so he would never dabble in it. As for equipment, props and skill scrolls, the production of these things is extremely cumbersome and the learning process is difficult. The effect was not immediate, so he decided not to hurry for the time being.
On the contrary, it is the production of potion, which is currently the most suitable for the needs of the Blade Team.
They have ********** from the Ancient Beast Valley, a large amount of materials, but they lack the ability to make them themselves. They have to work in the city every time. The city charges are extremely expensive, so the materials in the valley always have limited value. , a bottle of potion saves 2% to 10%.
If they can make their own medicine now, it means that they will not have to spend money on medicine in the future.
This just makes up for the lack of ability to continue fighting in the Blade Team.
However, this method cannot solve Lao Meng's problem - the youthful spring water that Lao Meng needs is a potion that can only be mastered by level 4 specialization.
Although Chen Yi's specialization ability has reached level three, his level of potion production is at best a primary level. After all, he has learned too much in other aspects.
In this way, even if he now upgrades his alchemy specialty to the highest level, he may not be able to create a high-level fountain of youth.
This requires the use of the second method, which is the application of real alchemy.
Since real alchemy is technology in space, there is no level limit, and in theory everything can be created - of course, the consequences are another matter.
For this reason, Chen Yi thought of an opportunistic approach.
Since real alchemy is scientific production and systematic alchemy is jump production, what if the two are combined?
For example, if you want to produce a car, you cannot use real alchemy throughout the whole process. That violates the taboos of the city, but your system alchemy cannot achieve the ability to directly combine materials into cars. What should you do?
Simple.
First use real alchemy to create tires, shells, and engines, and then use system alchemy to combine them.
The result is obvious that after all the components are completed, even a limited alchemy specialization can complete the overall structure.
This is what Chen Yi thought.
Using real alchemy to complete the foundation, using system alchemy to complete the final assembly, and never cross this line, which allows him to continue to be restricted by the system while gaining powerful abilities - without system ability, his reality Alchemy can only make parts and cannot form complete products, thus not having the ability to spread the threat of large-scale proliferation.
Of course, you can also do the opposite. It does not necessarily have to be the final assembly of system alchemy, but it can also be the infrastructure of system alchemy. The truth is exactly the same. There must be something to be affected by the city. Control.
But this choice must be made from the beginning and cannot change afterwards. Otherwise, it means that you still have comprehensive self-creation capabilities, which is not allowed by the city.
In addition, this kind of creation and combination is not single. There is creation in creation and combination in combination.
Just like a tire is just a component to a car, it is a finished product in itself.
For Chen Yi, all he had to do was understand the rules and use them, but never try to master the rules.
Be a lawyer who exploits legal loopholes, be a judge who maintains the law, be a policeman who enforces the law, and even participate in the formulation of the law, but you just don’t become a subversive law.
When he and his team become beneficiaries of the system, the city will understand that he is a vested interest in this law and a person who needs to protect the interests of the class. Even if he has obtained the science and technology of some hostile forces, it is nothing. relation.
Knowledge itself is harmless, the key is what the person who masters it does with it.
From beginning to end, Chen Yi did not intend to go too far on this taboo road. He just wanted to use this knowledge to exchange for benefits for himself as much as possible, rather than sliding into the bottomless abyss.
People in the past had real alchemy, and he also had real technology. Chen Yi's ultimate development direction was still the technological path that was approved by the city. Why do you have to repeat the mistakes of his predecessors?
After explaining his ideas to everyone, everyone completely understood Chen Yi's ideas.
King Kong breathed a sigh of relief: "In other words, the biggest benefit this thing brings us is that we don't have to spend money on medicine in the future?"
"Yes, of course, because I learned too much, I can actually do some other aspects, but they can only be some less important things."
"Can you make a weapon?" Hong Lang asked, and it could be seen that he was still unwilling to give up on the artifact.
"Yes, but they are all under double-d level, so don't think about artifacts. There are no artifacts in the third era, so even my predecessors have not developed the method of making artifacts, which means that I can't do even if I upgrade to the highest level in a single item. It's out, but you can research it...but you must not think I'll do that."
"It's good to be able to do double-D level!" Zhou Yiyu said excitedly: "It's 180-year-old, even if it's sold in stores. I like this concept."
Chen Yi rolled his eyes: "Do you think you don't spend time without materials? Instead of making these low-level weapons, I might as well find some ferocious beasts in the wilderness to kill them, which is more efficient. On the contrary, it's potion, we have ready-made materials. , it is much more appropriate to do a lot at a time."
He smiled gently and said, "It seems that you will have another pharmacist job in the future."
The fat man was very satisfied: "I think it's good. Which boss of the four difficulty level is not full of souls? It's impossible for us to invite Lao Meng and the others to help in the mission world. Now that we have our own pharmacist, the cost pressure is low There are too many."
Lao Meng said, "Brother, I will order a hundred bottles of mental power recovery potion first."
Chen Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Don't think of good things. The mental power recovery potion is at least a third-level potion, which is not that easy to make. Besides, the materials are also limited. Let's make the youthful spring water you need first."
"How to do it?" When Lao Meng heard the name of the fountain of youth, he was immediately excited.
"If you want to synthesize advanced youthful spring water, you have to first have low-level ones and add some other synthetic agents. So what we have to do next is..."
Chen Yi spread his hands: "Roam, fight monsters, collect materials, and finally synthesize them."
"Just like a game?"
"That's true!" Chen Yi replied meaningfully: "Life is like a play!"
