Jack, who was sleepy, looked at the person calling him by the bedside. After rubbing his eyes, he sat up from the bed with a sudden jerk, showing a look of disbelief.
The visitor is none other than Lucia.
At this time, although she has not completely regained her youthful beauty, she can be said to be radiant, with the appearance of a young woman in her twenties or nineteen years old at most, with a unique charm.
"Are you...well?"
"Um."
Lucia bit her red lips tightly and looked into Jack's eyes.
After the two looked at each other, they kissed passionately and lovingly, and couldn't help but start a more in-depth communication.
About two hours later.
After the two of them got dressed, they walked to the lawn of the manor and looked at Chen Mo who was practicing in the distance.
Seeing this, the surrounding servants couldn't help but look at the blushing Lucia with expressions of disbelief.
"My friend, thank you."
Jack came to Chen Mo and hugged him deeply, saying nothing.
Lucia also hugged Chen Mo deeply, with tears of joy flowing from her eyes.
"Without you, I really don't know what life will be like in the future. I have nothing to give you in return, but my mother is the vice president of Jiaoyue College and my father is a member of Congress. They will definitely be able to help.
you."
After receiving such explicit gratitude from Lucia, Chen Mo knew that the purpose of his trip had been achieved.
A few days later.
Under Jack's personal instruction, Jenny was still responsible for coordinating, and arranged for Chen Mo to work in the scientific research unit of the Grape Group to learn the alchemy knowledge of the hive world.
Jenny is responsible for coordinating issues related to Chen Mo's life.
It is not an exaggeration to say that she is Chen Mo's personal secretary.
"Mr. Traveler, this is Dr. Tunguska, the expert in the research and development of new superconducting materials of the Grape Group."
Dr. Tunguska is a gentle old man.
He seemed a little disappointed after seeing Chen Mo.
Today, the company's top management informed him that he was asked to receive a distinguished guest. Based on his previous experience, he thought he was a master of materials science, but he didn't expect it to be a young man.
He does not have that much time to participate in the company's business interests, or to serve as an answerer to satisfy other people's curiosity.
"Hello, Dr. Tunguska, I am a traveler, you can also call me Chen Mo."
Chen Mo naturally saw the other party's doubts.
He didn't want to embarrass Jack, so he said straightforwardly: "The purpose of my coming here is to learn from you the knowledge of magic weapon refining in the Western Continent, in return..."
A whoosh.
In Chen Mo's hand, a ball of silver-white flame appeared, which was the true gold-melting fire.
"This is the power from the Eastern Continent. It is a kind of flame that I created uniquely. I believe it will be helpful to your research."
When Tunguska heard this, he couldn't help adjusting his glasses.
When he learned about the properties of the True Gold Rong Fire, he was immediately attracted by the flame in Chen Mo's hand, and then started an experiment to confirm the properties of the True Gold Rong Fire.
Seeing that the communication between Chen Mo and Tunguska was progressing quite smoothly, Jenny couldn't help but smile knowingly.
"Then the two of you will slowly communicate here, and I will handle the relevant procedures. Mr. Traveler, how about you join the company as a group consultant as you said before?"
"OK."
Then Jenny looked at Dr. Tunguska again.
"Doctor, do you have any comments?"
"Place his room near where I live."
After saying that, he took Chen Mo to the laboratory and looked at Chen Mo as if he was looking at a treasure.
"I happened to synthesize a few special metal materials here, but their properties have not been fully utilized yet. You came at the right time. The Eastern Continent is really a magical place."
That's it.
Chen Mo accompanied Dr. Tunguska and conducted experiments for a week.
This guy is really a workaholic!
During the process of Tunguska's experiments over and over again, Chen Mo frequently activated the real gold fire, which consumed a lot of energy. For this reason, he even had to stop practicing the art of controlling animals and concentrate on helping Dr. Tunguska conduct various experiments.
The result is naturally good.
During this process, Chen Mo not only learned about the operation of various equipment in the Hive World, but also intuitively learned the cutting-edge theoretical knowledge of the alchemical techniques in the Hive World.
certainly.
Most importantly, he gained the friendship of Dr. Tunguska.
After the experiment, Dr. Tunguska achieved corresponding experimental results, and then it was Chen Mo's turn to learn.
"First of all, I want to tell you very clearly here that although the Putao Group's research on new superconducting materials is already at the forefront of the world, there has been no progress in the specific research and development of magic equipment.
It’s not because there is no relevant technical equipment, but because Nanyin Country’s unspoken rules determine that the Grape Group cannot develop technology in related fields, and this country needs to maintain a delicate balance.”
Regarding this aspect, Chen Mo had already heard Jack talk about it.
He originally thought that Dr. Tunguska didn't understand this aspect, but it seemed that Chen Mo was overthinking it.
"It doesn't matter."
Chen Mo said: "You only need to talk about the basic alchemy knowledge you know."
"Um."
Dr. Tunguska nodded.
It needs to be emphasized here that the magic materials in the Eastern Continent and the magic materials in the Western Continent are not the same thing. The magic materials in the Eastern Continent pursue the essence of the material, while the magic materials in the Western Continent are
Chasing the ductility of materials.”
The so-called essence naturally refers to the essence substances extracted under traditional purification processes, similar to iron essence, copper essence, and silver essence.
As for ductility, Chen Mo only has a slight understanding of the theoretical basis.
Seeing this, Dr. Tunguska signaled two experimental assistants to demonstrate the so-called superconductivity to Chen Mo.
The female assistant took out a small golden bean from the safe. After giving it to Chen Mo for inspection, another male assistant put the golden bean into the instrument.
About ten minutes later.
This small piece of gold turned into a thin gold foil.
"This is the basis of the Western Continent's ductility technology, which uses the ductility of gold and combines various materials to obtain new materials with higher ductility."
Dr. Tunguska's expression was quite serious.
"Designers in the Western Continent can etch corresponding energy circuit diagrams on these high-strength and ductile materials, giving them extraordinary superconductivity, and then use an insulating material called insoluble glue to make the gold foil
After being completely isolated from the outside world, these extended materials can continue to exert their effectiveness no matter what shape they take, and then they can be used as the core and placed in the equipment they build."
Say it.
He took out a laser pointer and etched the so-called circuit diagram on the gold foil.
After careful observation, Chen Mo confirmed that this so-called circuit diagram is almost the same as the principle of the formation, but it is just transformed into a technological method.
Because it was just a scientific experiment, Dr. Tunguska only drew the simplest circuit diagram.
The attribute of this etched circuit is luminescence.
Then he took the so-called glue and poured it on top of the gold foil.
"Done."
Dr. Tunguska picked up the gold foil with tweezers, rolled it into a ball, stuffed it into a firearm, and handed it to Chen Mo.
After Chen Mo took the gun, he was stunned.
This gun actually turned into a magical item!
Hint: light gun.
Quality: white.
Conditions of use: Energy 5 points.
Item properties: glow.
Item introduction: This is a handheld lamp made by a doctor when he was bored.
Chen Mo held the light gun and kept observing. This so-called light gun did not have a traditional magazine, but instead had two grooves.
One is used to place the energy stone, and the other is used to place the etching pattern.
"It's amazing, this..."
Chen Mo, who was exposed to the hive world's alchemy skills for the first time, couldn't help but widen his eyes. This was a completely different technical route from the traditional purification alchemy skills he had learned before.
However, Dr. Tunguska shook his head.
"Although the ductility of gold itself is quite good, it does not mean that there are materials with higher ductility than it. It is just that the cost performance is too low. The most important thing is that the mainstream direction in the scientific community is to avoid the use of insoluble glue.
Because it will greatly increase the thickness of the gold foil and reduce the cost performance."
Say it.
Dr. Tunguska took out another new material and handed it to the male assistant.
The male assistant put the material into the instrument. About ten minutes later, another piece of metallic paper similar to gold foil appeared.
When Chen Mo saw this, he looked confused.
The area of this metallic paper is obviously not as good as that of gold foil.
In other words, it is thicker than gold foil.
This also means that the etching area will be smaller. Dr. Tunguska did not explain it. Instead, he took out the laser pen again and etched the circuit diagram on the metal paper. However, after the etching was completed, there was no step of soaking in glue, and he directly
He picked up the piece of metal paper, crumpled it into a ball, stuffed it into the gun mold, and handed it to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took over the gun and after inputting energy, it indeed had a luminous effect.
"This is the alchemy skill pursued by the Western Continent!"
Chen Mo had a look of astonishment on his face.
"After reducing the steps of adding insoluble glue, the cost-effectiveness of this new material has exceeded that of gold. However, the materials in the laboratory belong to the property of the Grape Group, and Master Jack does not have the authority to disclose them, so please forgive me for not publishing the details to you.
Data, but I can assure you that among the materials studied by the group, there are many that far exceed the combination of gold and insoluble glue."
Chen Mo looked excited, as if he had opened a door to a new world.
And he was so excited because he saw hope. When he was in the Ruins World, he merged the attributes of the Spirit Source Stone with the Cyclops Eye Mask to create a new jewelry that combined two different alchemical techniques.
Next few days.
Tunguska began to teach Chen Mo basic techniques and theories.
As the saying goes, a tall building rises from the ground. Chen Mo studied it very seriously.
In about two months, with the support of a large amount of equipment from the Putao Group and Dr. Tunguska's intentional or unintentional hints, Chen Mo finally obtained a new material formula whose ductility was not inferior to that of general commercial ductile materials.
But if Chen Mo wants to follow the steps step by step, similar to learning ancient alchemy, thoroughly mastering the secrets of each link, and then creating the magical equipment in his heart, it will take at least two years.
The technical skills involved cannot be understood in a short time.
As for proficiency, he can learn slowly, but the doomsday mission is imminent, and he needs to improve his strength as soon as possible.
"It's time to unleash Lucia's power."
It's not that Lucia's background is more powerful than Jack's.
After all, the Grape Group is not Jack's personal power. It is a large family business. Jack is only one of the board members, but Lucia's parents only have this one precious daughter.
