Chapter 447: The First Stone: The Stone of Deconstruction [Part II]

The Stone of Deconstruction.

It is a representative work of Tang Bai when he became a master of alchemy. Just as the Philosopher's Stone was to Nicol Lemay, and the Time Shifter was to Hebrew Bock, it was symbolic. Tang Bai put a lot of thought into it, and some of the rare materials collected in various worlds were also used on it without hesitation.

Although for an alchemist, the material restrictions are already minimal, and the gods have the ability to turn decay into magic, this does not mean that some rare alchemy materials are not valued by those skilled alchemists. On the contrary, the real alchemy master pays more attention to collecting those strange alchemy materials than the so-called alchemists and even alchemy apprentices.

They may not usually use these materials, but when they do, this kind of material that has been collected with a lot of energy and effort over time can save an alchemist a lot of trouble.

It is true that many alchemists have the ability to transform physical characteristics and so on, for example, Nicol Lemay can convert ordinary stones into gold, even without the aid of the Philosopher's Stone. Because of this property, he first mastered it before he could give him the magic stone he made.

Tang Bai had no doubt that Nicol-Lemay could not only convert those stones into gold, but also into other materials, such as alloys. But this kind of thing, even if it is never obvious, is permanent in a well-structured world.

There is pay, there will be gain.

The same applies to all kinds of alchemy fields. The difference is only in how much you give. And how much you can gain.

Everyone is looking for low investment, high returns, and this is especially true of alchemy. It just depends on which side you can put this balance between gain and giving. But it is impossible for a god to continuously transform one substance into another.

It's not that you don't have that ability, it's that there's no need to waste that energy.

More importantly, in order to transform one substance into another, the alchemist must have a knowledge of the structure and proportions of the two materials, as well as the various aspects of the data, to a degree that is difficult for others to achieve.

The Philosopher's Stone of Harry's World. It's like a program set by Nicol Lemay, embedded with some kind of stone and gold data, which frees Nicol Lemay from the boring process of transformation. Although compared to its other use. The ability to turn stones into gold is more of a derivative.

For the substances that have never been touched, and the substances that are not good, even the alchemists who are proficient in transforming this path must be blackened. Helpless. It's the collection of a rare substance. Without a sufficient understanding of it, there is no way to talk about the so-called transformation until the deconstruction tests its values.

It is important to note that not all substances can be transformed into another substance using alchemy. This requires a match. If you're lucky, finding a suitable material for your transformation can save you a lot of trouble and greatly improve the process and success of your transformation.

Even if the alchemist is proficient in various values of various materials. Before converting one material into another, there is also a process of exploration and research that cannot be determined at an indefinite time. In order to pick out the best match among the materials you know.

Doing this is not difficult for an alchemy master like Tang Bai, but it is time-consuming. And time is of the essence for both people with lifespans and wizards. Otherwise, Hebrew Bock wouldn't have wasted his energy on making a time converter so that he could have more time to delve into alchemy.

And Nicol Lemay's original intention of making the Philosopher's Stone was obviously not just to allow himself and his wife to achieve an almost infinite lifespan.

Under the recommendation of Dumbledore, Tang Bai also had a lot of exchanges with Nicol Lemay, and even received a lot of help from Nicol Lemay, and shared some experience and knowledge. To say that Nicol Lemay did not have some of the same intentions as Hebrew Bock when he made the Philosopher's Stone, Tang Bai would never believe it.

Those who fear death are only afraid of the emptiness and forgetfulness after death.

For masters of alchemy, such as Hebrew Bock and Nicol Lemay, their achievements have made them famous enough to be known after death. They are able to look at all this open-mindedly, but this does not mean that they can be open-minded to tolerate the waste of time, and they cannot continue to delve into alchemy in order to go further on this path.

Therefore, unless they are helpless, most alchemy masters would rather spend a little more time collecting various alchemy materials in normal times, rather than wasting more time on researching and transforming these materials. The exception, of course, is that of alchemists, who specialize in this. Some alchemists are also happy to recruit some alchemists who are proficient in this kind of alchemist as assistants.

Skilled alchemists can exploit the potential properties of one or even more excellent materials to the limit, while making these materials coexist and complement each other. The characteristics are excavated and revealed, and even the materials that have undergone certain repairs will in turn improve the quality of the final product of alchemy.

For his first truly representative alchemy work, Tang Bai had great expectations and ambitions in his heart.

A representative alchemy work, aside from its ability for the time being, must be able to help its maker, or owner, to be considered a masterpiece. Of course, this kind of masterpiece has nothing to do with other people's opinions and ideas, but only the approval of the maker himself.

The eyes and attention of the outside world will more regard an alchemist's most famous alchemy product as his masterpiece.

Strictly speaking, the Stone of Deconstruction can only be regarded as an unfinished product at the moment.

It's not that there's any flaws in it, or there's anything imperfect about it. In these aspects, Tang Bai has achieved the ultimate he can do now. At least with his current vision and alchemy, the Stone of Deconstruction is already perfect.

It is imperfect because it is not a separate individual.

Suit.

Or a combination.

In Harry's world, alchemy products that appear in pairs and similar sets are rare, if not uncommon. The most famous is the Eris Magic Mirror on the front and back, and the Vanishing Cabinet that communicates with each other. But these are completely different from the alchemy works planned by Tang Bai's heart.

Each alchemy product is an independent individual, which can play its own role when it is alone, but when combined together, it can derive other functions. This is Tang Bai's true will and intention in his heart.

Tang Bai is now only refining two and a half finished products that he is satisfied with. The Stone of Deconstruction is one of these two halves.

The stone of deconstruction can also be called the stone of analysis.

As the name suggests, it is an alchemical product used to deconstruct and analyze. It is also a work in which Tang Bai spends the most effort and consumes the most energy. It has a bigger role than Jarvis does to Tony Stark.

Jarvis can help Tony Stark avoid a lot of complicated calculations and provide him with all kinds of assistance and convenience when Tony Stark needs it. This freed Tony Stark from a lot of boring calculations and research.

A lot of times, Tony Stark just needs to provide a direction and framework for the details, and Jarvis will naturally fill it in for him. This drastically reduced Tony Stark's workload and saved him time in the lab.

From these aspects, the Stone of Deconstruction does a better job than Tony Stark's intelligent system Jarvis. At least the finished product made by Jarvis filled in the details and materials still needs Tony Stark to do some experimentation and adjustment, but the Stone of Deconstruction provides the final answer that makes today's Tang Bai impeccable.

The functions of the two are similar, but like the products of magical alchemy and technology, the construction and analysis aspects are two very different extremes. Just as Jarvis is an intelligent system stacked with programs and a large number of databases, the stone of deconstruction is the product of communicating some rules.

Of course, Tang Bai's original purpose in refining the Stone of Deconstruction was not just to make it play a role similar to Jarvis, it was just a derivative product after refining the finished product, just like turning stones into gold to magic stones.

The Stone of Deconstruction, from beginning to end, has the greatest role of deconstructing and analyzing all the objects that Tang Bai is eager to analyze and deconstruct. It doesn't matter if the object is physical or ethereal, the intangible substance is untouchable.

Artifacts or rules.

Although it did not have any lethality, its effect was more valued and satisfied by Tang Bai than any ownerless artifact. RulesTang Bai has only stepped into a threshold at the moment, and as he grows, the Stone of Deconstruction will also grow and improve. When the time comes, it will play an even more important role.

In the past, it took several years, or even more than ten years, to deconstruct and analyze an artifact, but Tang Bai, who has the stone of deconstruction, can be avoided at this moment.

Detect, rub, fork, and wait. The efficiency of the analysis of the deconstructed stone is much faster than that of Tang Bai himself. During this period, even if the hammer of Thor is taken by its owner, the deconstruction stone that has carved its approximate external structure and data into it can continue to be deconstructed and analyzed.

But it will take a little bit of time before the rubbing is in. (To be continued......)
