Lu Ming had made countless guesses. Even if Zhang Xiaopang, a tauren, appeared on the card, he would not be surprised at all. After all, he had the same ancestry and origin.
However, what was rendered on the card was a scene that had never been seen before.
An endless plain.
A collapsed mountain range.
It seemed like a cold wind was blowing, and it was desolate.
Then……
Gone.
"Gone?"
Lu Ming couldn't sit still.
Where’s the cow?!
Where have my cows gone?
You know, the card surface is essentially just an energy rendering of the derivation of felt lines, at least that's what the textbook says, so...
Where’s the cow?!
What is this? "Sketch of Ten Thousand Cows Eating"? Where is the grass? It was eaten up by the cows. Where is the cow? After eating the grass, it ran away.
are you crazy!
"calm down!"
Lu Ming took a deep breath to calm down.
This desolate card surface, coupled with the lightning engraved on it, looked extremely weird, and even gave Lu Ming the illusion that cattle were struck to death by lightning...
"never mind."
Lu Ming calmed down.
No matter what it is, you’ll know it once you make it!
He still didn't believe it. How could seven, seven forty-nine cows really get lost?
not to mention.
What he cares about most now is card-making technology!
Think of this.
Lu Ming turned the original card over to the back and stared at the lines on it.
How much energy is required?
How many cattle are there?
He can no longer understand.
Because the current lines were beyond the scope of his understanding, these lines were intertwined, and Lu Ming was a little confused about the direction, and he didn't know how to distinguish them.
"It's a cross between lines."
Lu Ming looked at a certain place on the card.
Here, the two lines cross but do not interfere with each other.
"other places……"
Lu Ming went through it roughly.
This small card uses texture intersection technology at every node and every required place. Obviously, this is for the best optimization.
Therefore, the difficulty of drawing is also surprisingly high!
"Card making technology..."
Lu Ming felt excited.
"study!"
“You must master this technique!”
Lu Ming was determined.
To him, these techniques are as important as functions in programming.
He wanted to learn this kind of technology, but he couldn't even find a way to get started. He was not qualified to join the Card Creators Association, and he had no money to buy it on the black market. There was no way at all.
And now...
Buzz——
Lu Ming gently stroked the original card.
He touched the line and could clearly capture the feeling of energy flowing inside. He could 'see' the appearance of each line.
Grain intersection refers to the intersection of two grains.
On the basis of reasonable crossover, it must also be ensured that energy can stably travel along the original lines without energy flow.
This cannot be accomplished with just two strokes.
This requires technology.
The emergence of technology in the original card is just an opportunity for him. Whether he can grasp it and learn it depends on his own understanding and efforts.
sand!
sand!
Lu Ming felt the movement of energy.
The special characteristic of the original card is that no matter how much energy is activated, the ability within it will not be activated.
Therefore, Lu Ming can feel the process of energy operation over and over again, feel the difference at the node where the lines intersect, and constantly capture it.
Once again!
Twice!
Ten times!
A hundred times!
…
The world in front of Lu Ming seemed to only contain these two intertwined lines. The energy on these two lines became clearer and clearer, and finally intertwined.
I see.
Lu Ming suddenly woke up.
He has thought about how to solve this problem countless times.
Layered up and down?
Add an energy traffic light?
Now he finally sees the answer.
The two lines intertwined and eventually ended up on a larger node. He looked carefully and found that, sure enough, the node where the lines intersected was much thicker than the ordinary lines.
Energy flows through the nodes and naturally becomes normal.
wrong!
All wrong!
His previous way of thinking allowed him to consider problems at the physical level, but the final result he saw turned out to be so simple and crude!
This is an energy route!
What logic do you want?!
In his mind's eye, the energy that was originally traveling in a straight line naturally had gaps due to the widening of the lines!
It's like water flowing!
When you are in a small water pipe, it is continuous. When you put it in a pipe that is twice or twice the size, there will naturally be interruptions, but the overall flow rate remains unchanged.
And energy flows, exactly like that.
You can even use textures to control the speed of this area!
so……
Lu Ming saw it clearly.
The energy on the first strip of road changed from long strips to horizontal strips on that section of road that widened. The overall total flow rate remained unchanged, but it left space for the energy coming from the lateral direction.
really.
The energy on the second line shuttles through, just walking through the gap.
Perfect!
After passing through that area, these lines will become smaller.
This is the technique of interweaving textures!
This is basically an energy-operated transportation hub!!!
Lu Ming understood.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, wasn't this what the traffic flow was like in previous lives? The purpose of traffic lights is to interrupt the traffic flow and implement traffic control.
And on the energy level…
You can do it directly through technical means!
If every particle of energy is compared to a vehicle, you can not only control their speed, but also change the width of the road, what else can't be done?!
Lu Ming's thinking was clearer than ever before.
if so……
What about the so-called three-way intersection and the four-way intersection?
These two technologies are advanced developments in the intersection of lines. He thought they were so mysterious, but now it seems that in essence, they are still controlling energy traffic by cutting off the flow!
Once you figure it out, it will naturally become simple.
"Try it first."
Lu Ming took a deep breath and decided to take action.
How to draw texture intersection?
Draw through textures at different speeds and different widths!
brush!
Lu Ming's card maker fell down, one horizontally and one vertically. These were two lines, but at the junction of the two lines, Lu Ming was able to control it.
He paused.
Only then did I start drawing nodes on it in earnest.
First draw the horizontal lines. That section of road is obviously wider and more refined than before. The speed of energy in this section of road will obviously be much faster!
What does wider, faster traffic mean?
Cut off the flow!
In this way, a gap is left for the lateral energy to pass.
only……
After Lu Ming finished drawing the vertical lines and tried to run it, he found that the energy on both sides was indeed diverted, leaving a gap, but they still collided!
Because the time overlaps!
Leave a gap at the same time and set off at the same time!
"Um……"
"It's best to separate the times so that they don't collide and cause energy chaos."
"It's best to have the same speed so that you don't end up in a rear-end collision."
Lu Ming tried again.
the second time!
success!
On the blank card, these two lines, driven by energy, actually ran perfectly.
"Success!"
Lu Ming was ecstatic.
Obviously.
He didn't know how unfaithful he was.
According to statistics from the Card Printing Association, the average learning period for the pattern cross technique is ten days! Even the person who currently masters it the fastest took two days!
What is the difficulty in crossing textures?
understand?
Obviously not.
For those who have tutorials and can buy them, they naturally have the best teachers, and all the thoughts and concepts are explained clearly.
but……
Their progress is still very slow!
Because drawing nodes is the most difficult!
Drawing this energy transportation hub with your own hands is the most difficult thing!
Energy speed?
Energy flow?
It’s so easy to adjust!
If you just move, you will fail, okay?!
Not so with Lu Ming.
The study of three hundred basic advanced textures has greatly improved Lu Ming's basic level, far beyond that of ordinary people. It is precisely because of this that the drawing of nodes that is difficult for ordinary people to control seems so easy to him.
Isn't it just to adjust the energy speed and energy flow on the lines?
so easy!
How difficult can it be?
sand!
Lu Ming put pen to paper again and was still successful.
The card-making technology of texture interleaving was officially broken by Lu Ming. Not only that, the first thing Lu Ming did after completing it was to try three-way interweaving!
He felt that he still had some room for control over his energy.
More width!
More speed!
More space!
Why can't you try it?
brush!
brush!
Three lines intertwined, leaving a node.
Lu Ming began to draw this node very carefully. He left enough space and gaps for energy to circulate, as long as he ensured that the energy could pass through perfectly.
certainly.
The production difficulty this time has obviously increased a lot.
Lu Ming could even faintly feel that the card maker was trembling slightly. This was already his limit, but he still continued to draw seriously.
Failed the first time.
But he observed carefully that he seemed to have left too much space, causing the energy to stop flowing. After passing through the node, the speed slowed down and directly failed.
Failed the second time.
This time it was because the space was just right, but due to the angle problem, energy collision occurred.
Failed for the third time!
…
Lu Ming finally stopped.
The difficulty of three-way interweaving is far beyond my imagination.
For example, let three lines with different angles and different directions pass through the same node smoothly without any collision and without interruption of energy flow...
Rare and surprisingly high!
"I don't have enough control now."
Lu Ming knew it very well.
After your strength improves in the future, you may be able to study again.
However, although he has not mastered this technique, Lu Ming has seen through the entire energy pattern system!
"really."
"My guess is correct."
"All energy exchanges are energy transportation hubs."
"As long as your card-making skills are strong enough, the cards can become even more powerful."
Lu Ming was in high spirits.
At this moment, he finally understood why those card-making masters disliked him so much.
The foundation is indeed the most important!
Once you have a solid foundation, you can learn anything quickly.
Isn't it because of his strong foundation that the reason why he can easily learn the technique of intersecting lines today? If it were at the previous level...
Lu Ming even disliked himself.
Even if the master taught him a technique in person, he would be stuck for several months without being able to complete it.
This is the root cause.
Fortunately.
That's all in the past.
Now, Lu Ming has completely mastered this technology!
Even the intersection of basic textures will not be a problem for him in the future! As long as his drawing level improves, he can master the intersection of more routes!
"Perfect."
Lu Ming was very satisfied.
So……
This card can now be crafted.
Of course, you will soon know where those damn cows have gone!!!
