It took a total of three days for Moriarty to complete all the orders for Laika Studio. The actual delivery date agreed upon by both parties was one month later, so Moriarty would never make an advance decision before the expiration date.
The "boring act" of supplying goods. Immediately afterwards, he completed the "magic paper coating" business of Vegeta Studio in two separate times.
At this point, Earth Studio's recent external orders have come to an end. After completing these two "big orders" with a total profit of nearly 30,000 gold coins, Moriarty's loan repayment pressure can finally be alleviated. Of course, the big orders must be transferred
Schmidt, the creditor, has to pay off all his loans, but he still needs to work hard for a long time. After all, the alchemist earns a lot, and he also spends more.
After alleviating the capital flow dilemma, Moriarty turned his attention to the alchemy drawing obtained from the Doro Chamber of Commerce. At the moment, in addition to undertaking the OEM business, the only product that Earth Studio can produce
There are only brute force potions, alchemy products with unsatisfactory added value and profit margins. Such a single and inefficient product structure is unbearable for Moriarty. Therefore, he put the new product of his studio into
The profit growth point is placed on the fire-equalizing equipment "Huck Burning Arrow".
Because of the perfect reading of the crystal book, even though the bronze paper recording "Huck's Burning Arrow" has actually been worn a lot, and even the characters in some places are blurred or even missing, it is still read by Moriarty.
Completely restored.
Standing in front of his workbench, looking at the repaired alchemy drawings on the table in front of him, Moriarty's eyes were filled with calm and clear light.
Since midnight yesterday, Moriarty has been standing in front of this drawing for more than eighteen hours. During this period, he did not rest, eat, or even drink water. He just silently interpreted, analyzed, and calculated bit by bit.
Following the lines on the alchemy drawings. Scratch paper covered with various symbols and equations has been piled up to a height of more than ten centimeters on the table nearby, and the quill used for writing has been replaced with a fourth one.
After such a long period of intense work, Moriarty not only showed no signs of fatigue, but became more and more unhurried and calm. The slightly raised corners of his mouth showed that on the journey of analyzing "Huck's Burning Arrow",
He is getting closer and closer to the end of success.
Finally, when Moriarty gently lifted his pen from a piece of draft paper that was strewn with long paragraphs of formulas and several exquisite alchemical diagrams, all the secrets of "Huck's Burning Arrow" were finally revealed to the alchemist.
Revealed one by one.
Putting down the almost bald quill holder, Moriarty rubbed his already numb wrist and exhaled with satisfaction. He closed his eyes, and a long string of symbols and formulas flowed like a trickle.
It flowed through his heart, and finally settled quietly without a trace.
Opening his bloodshot eyes, Moriarty put the alchemy drawings back into the crystal book, then gathered the thick stack of draft papers and put them away together with a total of four quills that could no longer write.
Stored in a secret bookcase.
Turning off the lights in the central unit, Moriarty looked around and slowly walked out of the studio. Outside the door, Heyena was waiting silently. Seeing her fiancé come out, Heyna didn't say anything and just walked up
He gently took Moriarty's arm, gave him a gentle kiss, and then slowly led him towards the restaurant. There, the heart-warming and stomach-warming meals had been heated for an unknown amount of time.
All over, just waiting for the male host to taste it.
After a late meal, Moriarty returned to the bedroom to rest, accompanied by Heyena. Lying on the big bed covered with soft, snow-white sheets, he looked sideways at Heyna, who was snoring slightly in her arms.
, Moriarty smiled apologetically, then carefully straightened the broken hair hanging on his fiancée's forehead, and then fell asleep.
Now that he had cracked the blueprint for "Huck's Burning Arrow", Moriarty immediately began experimental production of magic arrows.
Similar to his previous experience of learning how to configure brute force potions for the first time, Moriarty, who set out to manufacture alchemical equipment for the first time, also began an arduous and costly process of exploration. Unlike alchemical potions, he wanted to make something in the field of alchemical equipment.
A successful alchemist not only needs to have strong alchemical array design skills and superb fire control capabilities, but also has the ability to accurately and demandingly engrave magic arrays. Because any magic prop is essentially the carrier of the magic array.
Therefore, after successfully building an excellent magic circle, how to burn it into the corresponding equipment without missing a beat is the biggest touchstone for every alchemist.
Fortunately, in the old world, Moriarty was an alternative mean-square engineer with the title of "Human-Meat Lathe". On several occasions, even top-secret components that were difficult to complete with cutting-edge CNC machine tools relied on Moriarty.
It is made by pure handiwork and an extremely sharp titanium alloy blade, which is carved out step by step according to the drawings. It is no wonder that Mossad tried every means to abduct Moriarty back to the country, even if his scientific ability is not taken into account.
, this “carving skill” alone is of extraordinary value.
Of course, engraving the alchemy circle is not the same thing as hand-making precision parts. Moreover, considering that the magic circle has more sophisticated and unique requirements in certain details, Moriarty's repeated experiments and repeated failures in the initial stage
It was inevitable. After hundreds of hours of continuous experimentation and the consumption of more than two thousand gold coins of raw materials, Moriarty finally found the long-awaited feeling. This feeling was like a sculptor sculpting a sculpture.
, the painter's painting and the gunman's gunfire are indescribable and can only be experienced silently and savored by the parties involved.
A few weeks later, in a silent midnight, the first Hacker Burning Arrow was successfully born in Moriarty's hands.
It is a crossbow arrow that does not look much different from ordinary arrows. Apart from having a slightly longer streamlined triangular pyramid arrow cluster, there is nothing special about it. However, if you place the flaming arrow under a magnifying glass,
You can clearly see that on a certain surface of the triangular pyramid glowing with green light, there is an oval magic circle etched into it, which is about no bigger than the surface of your thumb. And if you look carefully, you can see that this magic circle is actually not very complicated.
.It’s just that the lines that outline the magic circle are too delicate, even half as fine as a hair. They are like the footsteps of a little fairy dancing, with a certain special rhythm and rhythm, with an inch-large cone surface.
For the stage, he performs a convincing dance. What is even more impressive and surprising is that within such a delicate magic circle, there is actually a red solution like running water flowing under the magic circle at a speed that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye.
It flows slowly within the concave lines. Just because of some unknown force, this liquid is tightly sealed within the magic circle and cannot spill out.
Arrow cluster shaping, polishing and unsealing, surface magic plating, inlaying magic array, solution preparation and injection, magic sealing...
Playing with his first finished product carefully, Moriarty continued to examine it with the most critical eye while slowly sorting out, condensing, and classifying the various processes for making magic arrows.
There is no doubt that the time and cost required to make a Hackburning Arrow is much higher than that of ordinary arrow weapons. Even with Moriarty's increasingly proficient alchemy skills, if one person does all the processes
, then I’m afraid I can only make a few burning arrows in a day. And if you want to make Hack’s burning arrows a new pillar product of Earth Studio, then Moriarty must work hard to improve production efficiency, expand scale, and reduce costs.
overall costs.
After thinking for a long time, Moriarty finally decided to streamline the manufacturing of Huck's burning arrows. Including several processes including "arrow cluster shaping, polishing and unsealing, and surface magic plating treatment", he will directly hire mage apprentices and even skilled craftsmen.
It is completed by exquisite ordinary craftsmen. This not only saves Moriarty's precious time, but also reduces costs. As for "inlaying the magic circle, solution preparation and injection, and magic sealing", because the process requirements are extremely high, it is also a hack
The technical core of the Burning Arrow must be completed by Moriarty himself.
After improving the process in this way, Moriarty estimates that the final production cost of a Hack Burning Arrow will be controlled at about forty gold coins. Assuming full firepower, Moriarty can produce forty to fifty arrows in one day.
Hacker completed the sculpture of the magic circle using the rough blank of the burning arrow, then concentrated the magic solution into it, and unified the magic seal.
After roughly thinking about future production plans, Moriarty successively produced dozens of slightly different Hacker Burning Arrow prototype templates to further improve the process and find hidden shortcomings. However, due to site restrictions, he could not yet
Do realistic firepower and damage tests for magic equipment. But this is not a big problem, because according to the common practice in the magic world, careful paper calculations are enough to explain everything. To a certain extent, magic and alchemy are
The most rigorous and accurate science. Of course, when the time is right, Moriarty will still take his work to the shooting range for actual test firing. But before that, all development work of the Earth Studio will still be kept strictly confidential.
middle.
After another week or so of testing and improvement, the burning arrow was finally finalized.
This magic arrow, which Moriarty named the "Armor-piercing Burning Arrow," inherited most of the technical features and properties of the "Huck Burning Arrow." It was just that in terms of the burning solution that filled the arrow cluster magic array, Moriarty passed
After many experiments, he finally replaced the "red sulfur solution" introduced in the original alchemy drawings with his own "magnesium fat" mixed with forsterite powder in a subtle proportion to make the armor burn.
The deflagration and burning properties of arrows have been greatly improved.
However, even with such improvements over his predecessors, Moriarty was still not satisfied. After temporarily sealing several finished armor-piercing incendiary arrows, he returned to the workbench and began more challenging research.
and explore.
This time, Moriarty's goal is not only to improve performance, but also to completely surpass the quality of props.
