It took a total of three days for Moriarty to complete all orders for Laika Studio. The actual delivery date agreed by the two parties was a month later, so Moriarty would never make a "boring move" to supply goods in advance before the expiration date. Immediately afterward, he completed the "magic paper coating" business of Vegeta Studios in two more installments.

At this point, Earth Studio's recent external orders have come to an end. And after completing these two "big orders" with a total profit of nearly 30,000 gold coins, Moriarty's loan repayment pressure can finally be reduced a little. Of course, it will take a long time for Schmidt, the big creditor, to repay all his loans. After all, alchemists earn a lot and spend more.

Relieving the dilemma of cash flow, Moriarty turned his head to the alchemical blueprint he had obtained from the Dora Chamber of Commerce. At the moment, in addition to undertaking the OEM business, the only product that Earth Studio can get its hands on is the Brute Force Potion, an alchemy product with unsatisfactory added value and profit margins. And such a monolithic and inefficient product structure is unbearable for Moriarty. Therefore, he put the new profit growth point of his studio on the "Huck Burning Arrow", which is a fire equipment.

Thanks to the perfect reading of the crystal book, the bronze plate containing the "Huck Burning Arrow" has been completely restored by Moriarty, despite the fact that the bronze plate with the "Huck Burning Arrow" has actually been worn out and even blurred or missing in some places.

Standing in front of his workbench, looking at the restored alchemy drawings on the table in front of him, Moriati's eyes flowed with a 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, did not eat, or even drank water, but silently and bit by bit interpreted, analyzed, and calculated the lines and sentences on the alchemy drawings. Scratch paper, coated with various symbols and equations, had been piled up on the side of the countertop, a dozen centimeters high, and the quills used for writing had been replaced by a fourth. And after such a long period of intense work, Moriarty not only did not show the slightest fatigue, but became more and more unhurried and unhurried. The slightly upturned corners of his mouth indicate that he is getting closer and closer to the end of success in the journey of analyzing "Huck Burning Arrow".

Finally, when Moriarty's pen lifted from a piece of scratch paper littered with large formulas and several elaborate alchemical arrays, all the secrets of the "Huck Burning Arrow" were finally revealed before the alchemist's eyes.

Putting down the almost bald quill, Moriarty rubbed his numb wrist and exhaled in satisfaction. Closing his eyes, a long list of symbolic formulas like a trickle flowed through his heart like a stream, and finally settled quietly without a trace.

Opening his bloodshot eyes, Moriarty retrieved the alchemy drawings into the crystal book, then gathered the thick stack of scratch paper and stored it in a secret bookcase, along with a total of four quills that could no longer write.

Turning off the lights in the central unit, Moriarty looked around and walked slowly out of the studio. Outside the door, there was the figure of Haiyuna waiting silently. Seeing her fiancé come out, Hayarna didn't say anything, just stepped forward and gently grabbed Moriarty's arm, gave him a gentle kiss, and then led him slowly in the direction of the restaurant. There, the heart-warming and stomach-warming meals have been warmed up many times, just waiting for the male host to taste them.

After a late meal, Moriarty returned to her bedroom to rest, accompanied by Haiyna. Lying on the large bed with a soft, snow-white sheet, looking sideways at Haiyuna, who was already snoring slightly in the crook of her arm, Moriarty smiled apologetically, then carefully straightened the broken hair that fell from her fiancée's forehead, and then fell into a deep sleep. …,

Now that he had cracked the blueprint of the "Hack Burning Arrow", Moriarty immediately set about the actual nature of the magic arrow.

Similar to the previous experience of learning to configure brute force potions for the first time, Moriarty, who stepped into the manufacture of alchemy equipment for the first time, also began the arduous and money-burning groping process. Different from alchemy potions, alchemists who want to make achievements in the field of alchemy equipment not only need to have a strong alchemy circle design level and superb fire control ability, but also have the ability to accurately engrave magic arrays. Because the essence of any magic prop is the carrier and collection of magic arrays. Therefore, after successfully forming an excellent magic array, how to burn it to the corresponding equipment is the biggest touchstone for every alchemist.

Fortunately, in the Old World, Moriarty was an alternative mean engineer with the title of "human-meat lathe". There were even a few top-secret parts that were difficult to complete with even cutting-edge CNC machines, but they were carved out by Moritty by hand and a sharp titanium blade, bit by bit against the drawings. It is no wonder that the Mossad would do everything in their power to deceive Moriarty back to China, even if his scientific ability is not counted, this "carving skill" alone is already extremely valuable.

Of course, alchemy circle inlays and handmade zuò precision parts are not the same thing after all. Moreover, considering that the magic array has more profound and unique requirements in some details, it is inevitable that Moriarty will repeatedly fail in the initial stage. And after hundreds of hours of trial and error and the consumption of more than two thousand gold coins of raw materials, Moriarty finally found a long-awaited feeling. This feeling is like a sculptor in sculpture, a painter in a painting, and a gunman in gunfire, which is indescribable, and can only be silently experienced and savored by the parties concerned.

A few weeks later, in the silent midnight, the first Huck Burning Arrow was successfully born in the hands of Moriarty.

It was a crossbow that didn't look much different from a normal bolt, and was nothing special except for a slightly longer, streamlined cluster of triangular pyramid arrows. However, if you place the flaming arrow under a magnifying glass, you can clearly see that on one of the sides of the triangular pyramid glowing with blue rays, an oval circle is carved into an oval circle that is about the size of the face of the thumb. And if you look closely, this magic array is actually not very complicated. It's just that the lines that outline the circle are too delicate, even more than half as thin as a hair. It's like the footprints of a goblin dance, with a special rhythm and rhythm, with an inch of conical surface as the stage, deducing a pleasant and convincing dance posture. What's even more impressive and amazing is that in such a delicate magic array, there is actually a red solution like flowing water that slowly flows in the concave lines under the magic circle at a speed that is almost imperceptible to the naked eye. It was only because of some unknowable force that this liquid was firmly sealed within the circle and could not overflow.

Arrow cluster molding, polishing and opening, surface plating, inlay circle, solution preparation and injection, magic sealing......

Playing with his first finished product, Moriarty continued to examine it with the most critical eye, while slowly sorting, condensing, and categorizing the various processes of making zuò magic arrows.

There is no doubt that it takes much longer and costs more time and cost to create a Huck Burning Arrow than a regular arrow weapon. Even with the alchemical skills that Moriarty has become more and more proficient, if one person were to take care of all the processes, he would probably only be able to make a few incendiary arrows in a day. And if Huck Burning Arrow was to become the new mainstay of EarthStudio's product, Moriarty would have to work to increase productivity, scale, and reduce overall costs. …,

After thinking about it for a long time, Moriarty finally decided to streamline the manufacture of Huck's Burning Arrows. He will directly hire mage apprentices or even skilled ordinary craftsmen to complete several processes, including "arrow cluster molding, polishing and opening, and surface magic plating". This not only saves Moriarty's valuable time, but also keeps costs down. As for the "inlay circle, solution blending and injection, and magic seal", because the process requirements are extremely high, and it is also the technical core of the Hack Burning Arrow, it must be completed by Moriarty himself.

After such improvements, Moriarty estimated that the final cost of a hack incendiary arrow would be around forty gold coins. Assuming full firepower, Moriarty could carve a circle of forty to fifty Hack Burning Arrows in a single day, then concentrate on injecting the magic solution and unify the seals.

After roughly thinking about the future production plan, Moriarty successively produced dozens of prototype templates of hack incendiary arrows, each with its own subtle differences, in order to further refine the process and find hidden shortcomings. However, due to space constraints, he was not able to do realistic firepower and lethal tests for magic equipment. But this is not too much of a problem, because according to the common practice in the wizarding world, careful paper calculations are enough to explain a qiē. In a sense, magic and alchemy are the most rigorous and precise sciences. Of course, when the time comes, Moriarty will still take his work to the shooting range for the actual test launch. But until then, EarthStudio's development work will remain strictly confidential.

After another week or so of trials and improvements, the Burning Arrow was finally finalized.

Named the "Armor-Piercing Burning Arrow" by Moriarty, this magical arrow inherits most of the technical features and characteristics of the "Hack Burning Arrow". It's just that in the burning solution that filled the magic array of the arrow cluster, Moriati Tong Guò realized yàn many times, and finally replaced the "red sulfur solution" introduced in the original alchemy drawing, and replaced it with the "magnesium grease" that he configured himself and mixed with a subtle proportion of magnesium jade powder, so that the deflagration and burning properties of the armor-piercing burning arrow were greatly improved.

But even with this improvement, Moriarty was not satisfied. After temporarily sealing the finished products of several armor-piercing incendiary arrows, he returned to his workbench and began more challenging research and exploration.

This time, Moriarty's goal is not only to improve performance, but also to completely surpass the quality of the item

Happy 2013 to all book friends!
