Angel looked around at the empty hall and the numerous stone pillars. Finally, his eyes fixed on Ben Bo, doubts flashing in his eyes.
Although the smelting can be solved by Ben Bo, other experimental facilities are not provided at all?
In the past, Angel would not have cared about the experimental equipment, but this time it was the refining of Olha steel. Even if it did not involve real "alchemy", it was still a wonderful opportunity to observe.
It would definitely be best if it is matched with experimental equipment.
"Are you looking for the forge? It's here."
Angel followed Ben Bo's line of sight and saw a mini bubble slowly floating out of the flames of the altar.
After Bubble left the altar, it started to grow like a wild horse running wild.
In just the blink of an eye, it turned into a floating bubble ten meters long and wide.
Angel is very familiar with this kind of bubbles. The embryo factory is full of similar bubble workshops. Although the outer length and width of the bubble are only ten meters, the space inside is definitely not small.
Angel thought that Ben Bo had already waved his wings and opened the door of Bubble.
Through the open door, he unexpectedly saw a large workshop that could accommodate hundreds of people.
The style of the workshop is exactly the same as the outside bubble workshop. It has not been modified. It should be a standard workshop produced by Pilusiu.
"Sir, please."
Angel did not hesitate and stepped directly into the workshop.
Uncle Ben also followed in immediately.
What made Angel suspicious was that there were actually deep fireworks swaying under Benbo's pitch-black pupils...
He had previously thought that You Yan was part of the altar, but was it actually part of Ben Bo?
Angel subconsciously glanced outside the door, only to see the ghost fire still burning on the altar outside, which made Angel look confused in his eyes.
Huh? It seems that You Yan is not a part of Ben Bo, but more like Ben Bo is on fire?
Perhaps noticing Angel's gaze, Bember flapped the black wings behind him and let out a strange laugh: "I borrowed this flame from the main body, and only it can forge Olha steel."
Angel looked at the blazing flames, and a trace of inquiry arose in his heart.
"This flame has the nature of a living creature and can sense external prying eyes, so you'd better not stare at it too much or use your mental power to explore it. Otherwise, you may annoy it."
When Benbo said these words, his mood was a little weird, as if he recalled some bad memories.
"If the true body is there, I can control it at will, but I can't..." Uncle Ben sighed, "This guy is incredibly stupid, he only recognizes the true body."
It is obviously the body of the original body, but this Youyan cannot recognize it.
"The fact that I can live in harmony with it now is all because of the instructions of the main body. However, its memory is only ten hours. After ten hours, it will forget the main body's orders. If it sees me carrying
If you hold it, it will probably burn me too."
Listening to Uncle Ben's complaints, Angel was silent for a moment and replied: "It sounds... very personal."
"I just feel as stupid as a pig. Even if I write a script, I can't write such a stupid character. Just like now, I'm scolding it and it doesn't know..."
Uncle Ben deeply doubted that all the abilities of this Youyan were based on smelting. It obviously had the characteristics of living creatures, but it had no IQ at all.
Angel looked at the still rolling flames curiously: "So, it is a fire elemental creature?"
Ben Bo waved his wings: "No, it is different from the elemental creature you know. It was born from the main body. You can understand it as an accompanying element of the main body."
Just like a fog dragon, when it is born, there will be light clouds and mist floating around it. This cloud and mist are the accompanying elements of the fog dragon.
"I don't know how the main body is obviously a treasure dragon, so how can it be accompanied by flames? Maybe the flames are not accompanied by the main body at all, but are accompanied by the talent of 'Illusion Metal'."
"After all, only this kind of flame can melt Orha steel effortlessly."
After complaining, Ben Bo asked: "Are you ready to melt it now? If so, I will wake it up... Although it is not sleeping, if you don't give it some external stimulation, it will behave extremely
Inertia.”
Angel thought for a moment, then shook his head: "If you're not busy, let me study Olha Steel first."
"That's okay." Ben Bo said, "But let me tell you first, don't ask me about Olha Steel."
"ah?"
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the ontology has made restrictions a long time ago and does not allow us to disclose information about Olha Steel."
"Ontology is willing to hand over Olha Steel to others for research. What we want is for them to use their own unique perspectives and thinking to expand more possibilities of Olha Steel."
"If we tell you in advance, your thinking will most likely be restricted, which is something the ontology doesn't want to see."
Algaron's "Phantom Metal" talent was completely developed and expanded by himself, unlike the Mysterious Dragon's "Book of Time" talent, which was guided by Laplace.
Therefore, Algaron's talent development level is not high, and the development level may not even reach one-tenth or two. Sometimes Olha steel shows some strange properties when it is forged, and even Algaron has some strange properties.
Completely confused.
In this case, Algaron needs to brainstorm ideas to help it expand its ideas so that it can study Orha Steel in more depth. This is the main reason why it is unwilling to share more information with others.
Of course, there are also some secondary reasons. For example, Algaron likes to see the embarrassment of those who claim to be masters to study Orha Steel, but have gained nothing.
Not only can you laugh at other people's jokes, but you can also highlight the power of Olha Steel.
Angel generally understood Algaron's thoughts, but he personally believed that it was best to do research while standing on the shoulders of giants.
If nothing is said, then if the things that have been researched with great effort are duplicated by Algaron itself, then wouldn't it be a useless effort?
Ben Bo: "You are right, but how can the main body not understand this truth? It is willing to hand over Orha Steel to outsiders for research, is it still afraid of waste?"
"Moreover, Olha steel is different from other materials. Its special properties allow it to withstand various studies."
In the memories shared by his body, Ben Bo has seen many forging masters from various worlds, scholars from all over the world, and even witches who pursue the truth, gods born from evil fire, and demons who have awakened supernatural powers... They all
I have studied Olha steel.
These researchers have different perspectives on things, different experiences, different abilities, and different talents. Therefore, the Olha steel they researched also showed completely different results.
These results ultimately became the fuel to promote Ontology’s research on Olha Steel.
"Everyone's research results are different?" Angel was also a little surprised. Can the same material have such varied research results?
"Yes, this is the fundamental difference between Olha steel and other materials, so you can study it with confidence." Bember: "Even if it really goes down the same path, it doesn't matter. The main body doesn't care."
"But having said that, instead of worrying that your research will follow the same path as others, you should worry more about not being able to research anything." Ben Bo let out a bad laugh.
In its memory, there are many people studying Olha Steel, but less than one percent have produced results.
Of course, Benbo still believes that Angel can achieve results. After all, according to his side knowledge, Angel has created more than one or two miracles...
"There are observation instruments on the experimental bench over there. Go ahead." Ben Bo said, "I'm right outside. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me at any time."
As long as it does not involve the "Olha Steel" intelligence issue known to Bember, it will be happy to help.
Angel nodded and walked to the experimental table.
Carefully, he slowly opened the box with "Top Secret" written on it.
A gentle breeze blew by.
Angel's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he faintly smelled a sour and rancid smell, but this smell was soon covered by the strong smell of spices.
Angel was no stranger to this smell, it was... the smell of ink.
To be precise, it is iron gall ink.
A commonly used ink that he has been exposed to since he was a child.
This is an ink made from oak gall berries, green vitriol, and gum. It has an obvious sour and rancid smell. In order to avoid the smell of the ink, some nobles and scholars would add cloves and the like to the ink.
spices.
This is also the source of the fragrance Angel smelled just now.
But why does the box smell like ink? Didn't Benbo say that it contains Olha steel?
Angel looked at it intently with doubts.
The metal box was covered with soft blue velvet cloth, and in the center of the velvet cloth was a dark penholder.
It looks like the barrel of a pen.
But it has the appearance of a fountain pen, but it is actually unusable and has no cap. It is just a model pen.
Judging from the appearance, Angel didn't find any abnormalities for the time being, but he was confused as to why Olha steel took on the shape of a pen?
Napoli once said that the shape of Orha Steel is not fixed. Sometimes it looks like a normal metal mineral, sometimes it looks like a light feather. It has no fixed shape, and it all depends on Algaron's current mood and tendency.
So, the Olha steel has the shape of a "pen", does it mean that when Algaron was creating it, it tended to look like a pen barrel, and finally it actually became a pen barrel?
Angel asked Ben Bo about this issue, but Ben Bo just laughed strangely and did not say anything.
There is a high probability that his guess is correct.
From this point of view, when Orha Steel was created, it was guided by Algaron's mind, and it was a product of "idealism".
Idealistic products have never followed the conventional path. If you think about it, if you stick to the old rules when studying Olha steel, you will probably not gain anything.
While Angel was thinking, he picked up the "pen" to test various data.
Although idealistic products are difficult to study using conventional methods, you still have to do what needs to be done in the early stage.
It just so happens that there are various detection instruments here, such as psychic resonance meters, microstructure telescopes, phantom spectrum analyzers, radiation gradient detectors... Some Angel has seen it, some has not, but for Angel
, you can easily analyze the structure and use it with just one scan of your mental power.
It took Angel less than half an hour to conduct a comprehensive external inspection.
To be honest, he has never seen such a weird test report. The data of this "pen holder" completely matches the pen holder itself. It is a "pen holder model", or a small toy with the shape of a pen holder.
There is no place to absorb ink and no refill.
But the drifting iron gall ink was real. Angel collected part of the fragrance and analyzed it, and it was consistent with his judgment that it was the smell of iron gall ink.
But where is the source? It's inside the pen barrel.
But no matter how he looked, he couldn't find the ink.
Angel used to think that Fantasy Alchemy was a super model, but now the ink fragrance, which cannot be found from the source, is even more idealistic.
Angel pondered for a moment and decided to use his mental power to do a deep test.
Since there is no information available from the external test, maybe the mental test can bring good news?
Half an hour later, Angel put down his pen with a subtle expression. He did not move for a long time, and even stopped recording data.
After Angel was stunned for several minutes, Ben Bo's voice came to his ears.
"How's it going? Does it feel amazing?"
Angel slowly came back to his senses and was stunned for a few seconds before nodding: "It's very strange, an indescribable strangeness..."
At first, Angel didn't find anything strange about Olha Steel during his mental scan. Its properties were very similar to "steel".
But it's slightly different, but Angel can't describe this difference, as if its nature is "flowing and changing".
Then, he put his mental energy into the inside of the pen barrel to see if there was any "iron gall ink" hidden anywhere. However, the inside of the pen barrel was all made of solid porcelain, without any hollows.
Angel checked it several times and the result was the same.
But just after he started a new round of inspection, he suddenly discovered that the quill structure of a whooper swan feather appeared inside the pen holder, and there was a faint dark liquid inside the quill that was shaking.
This is... ink?
Angel was completely confused. After checking it seven or eight times, there was nothing inside. Why did there suddenly appear extra quills and ink?
"...It feels as if it has heard my voice secretly, and is gradually changing its internal structure through my voice."
Angel expressed his feelings in a daze, but after finishing speaking, he felt that he was too solipsistic.
He raised his head to see what Ben Bo would say?
But Uncle Ben was still the same as before, not intending to say anything...even though it was obviously the topic that he started.
However, although Ben Bo did not say anything, Angel discovered from his super-perception that Ben Bo's emotions were extremely stable and had no ups and downs.
This is completely different from Angel's "Fantasy Alchemy" it saw before.
From its emotional feedback, Angel understood clearly: Under what circumstances would Benbo be so calm? That was Angel's discovery, which was exactly when it expected it.
In other words, this kind of solipsistic feedback is one of the characteristics of Olha steel.
"If you are so surprised now, you will be more surprised every time you study Olha Steel. Because the more you dig, you will find that it is like an endless treasure, and you can dig out something different every time.
something.”
"Besides, you are only using basic measurement methods now. You might as well try other methods next time, such as calcining with fire?"
Bember: "But these further measurements should be studied slowly with another piece of Olha steel after you go back. For now, you might as well refine the login device first."
"Otherwise, I feel like the flames coming from the main body will make me forget my mission..."
