Volume 2: Opening Chapter 121 Super Demon
Dimension value, based on all known or legendary materials in the world, defines various magical materials with an upper limit of 100. This score is not evenly divided, and the higher the score, the greater the gap between each score. For example, 99 to 100 theoretically may be a chasm that can never be crossed.
The higher the value of the dimension, the stronger the hardness and performance of the material, and the higher the upper limit of the magic energy blessing it can withstand. For example, the dimension value of black iron is about 2.0, while ink steel can reach between 20-30, which has been out of the realm of mortals. It also means harder materials, and more possibilities.
Ink steel, as its name suggests, is as black as ink, and is a high-grade material of the black iron family. Naturally formed ink iron is buried underground to the depths, and in an environment full of magical energy, it is born under tremendous pressure, thousands of years of natural suppression and tempering, and finally forged by alchemists. It is almost theoretically the top material that can be found in southern Xinjiang.
"Super Demon Ink Steel, it seems that we must finish learning the magic text modeling as soon as possible, and then find a way to return to the Alchemy Tower."
Out of the library, Luo Xia got rid of the entanglement of the noisy soybean essences, turned around and entered the magic energy material distribution center. Here, Luo Xia can produce any material he has ever obtained, such as metals such as black iron and black steel, as well as other materials. The energy consumed is mainly provided by the Void Reactor that supports the real cloister.
Luo Xia only needed to use his consciousness to communicate with the strange 'furnace' that appeared in front of him, with the lower part of the void on his head rooted in the dark blue ground, like a big-bellied pagoda, and he could synthesize the materials he needed from it.
For example, it is not difficult to produce some ordinary things, but with special energy items, the efficiency is more touching in normal mode. After all, in the entire real corridor, the magic energy material rationing center only occupies a small part of the energy rationing.
For example, black iron, a common low-end magic energy material, is derived from the influence of magic energy over a long period of time. The shorter the time it takes for the material rationing center to make black iron, the more energy it consumes in the 'catalytic' process.
Theoretically, as long as there is a long enough time, it only takes 1 crystal of energy to produce a 50-kilogram black iron ingot. But in fact, it is impossible to wait that long, so it needs to consume a lot of energy for catalysis, Luo Xia found that it is more reasonable to compress the time to 1-3 days, and the energy consumption has increased by about 10 times.
Shorter it is, it will increase energy consumption geometrically, unless it is forced to use.
Don't look at this bit of energy as nothing, if you want to summon it outside the body, because the force field system magic text collection and research is not sound, the price is still very large.
In the past, this kind of material crossover was a hundred times the energy consumption of summoned creatures, but now with the explosive growth of the number of magic texts, although there is no force field system magic scripts, the energy consumption has still decreased by half. This made Luo Xia understand that the five major systems of the Demon Script might be able to figure out and complement each other.
But even so, if you want to use these materials in reality, it is better to buy them directly and it is more cost-effective.
Luo Xia 'picked up' a 50-pound standard black iron ingot in the air and began to try to quench it. Black iron is not much heavier than iron, and 50 catties is the size of two bricks.
Luo Xia in the house realm is the embodiment of his consciousness body, but he has more power than his real body. The powerful spiritual power is almost a hundred times that of ordinary people, so for the conscious body, it is simply a breeze to suspend a 50-pound iron ingot.
As the most basic material for inscriptions, black steel can be produced in the material rationing center, but a large amount of energy consumption will affect the development of the house.
If he really needs it, he can buy it realistically, and the cost performance will be higher. Or, as at the moment, try to process it yourself. On the one hand, save some energy, and on the other hand, improve the proficiency of the basic skills of alchemy.
In reality, to quench black steel, it is to use alchemy to first create a gathering pool, create a high magic fusion furnace, and then put the black iron ingots into it for magic energy overloading.
Then forge the black iron ingot, which has been unstable due to overload.
It can be forged in a normal mechanical way, but in order to reduce the rate at which the magic energy in the overloaded Black Iron is lost, the hammer has special requirements.
However, the best way is to forge mental power.
Luo Xia did not have a High Magic Polymerization Furnace.
But this thing is a simple application of the Gathering Matrix in inscription, and there is relevant knowledge in the basic alchemy knowledge, and even in the case illustration of the magic text modeling backed up by the academy.
After a few days, he selectively picked out the corresponding magic text for modeling and learning, and after several attempts, Luo Xia easily transformed it.
It's just that I don't dare to compliment it in appearance.
The stove was rudimentary, made of black steel, an ugly open-opening stove the size of a washbasin but an arm's length. It looks like a raised spittoon...
The amount of magic energy it can carry is very limited, but it is still fine to use it to quench black iron.
There is no need to worry about energy, the crystallized energy with no attributes can be easily converted into pure energy of any level, including magical energy. In fact, the power stones of this world also have a similar effect.
Of course, after the manifestation of magic energy, the attributes manifested are very complex, and the attributes will change according to the characteristics of each person.
Since it was the first attempt, Luo Xia chose the most stable and malleable elemental magic power, the earth element energy, to fill the High Magic Fusion Furnace.
Visible to the naked eye, the faint yellow energy flow slowly appeared in the polymerization furnace, floating fast or slow like an illusory ribbon...
This is a phenomenon of rapid condensation of magic energy under the action of external forces, with the continuous condensation of the energy beam, the entire middle and lower part of the energy gathering furnace seems to be shrouded in a dark yellow mist...
Luo Xia wanted to put his hand in and give it a try, but reason still made him give up this act of death. Although there was no high temperature in the furnace and it looked very stable, the huge energy consumption still made him understand that this seemingly ordinary yellow mist, and the "corrosiveness" of its magic energy, were enough to make him pay a heavy price.
Throwing the black iron ingot into it, Luo Xia carefully observed the changes in it.
A high concentration of earth elemental energy surrounds the black iron ingot, and the seemingly stable energy field has a magical effect like a 'microwave oven'. The energy that was obviously much beyond the limit of the Black Iron Containment Demon began to slowly erode the Black Iron Ingot.
Time passes slowly.
As dense gaps appeared, Luo Xia hurriedly took out the black iron ingots that had already cracked everywhere and took out the tools made of black steel.
I can vaguely see that in the cracks of the black iron ingot, there is a trace of yellow energy constantly dissipating.
He didn't dare to delay any longer, and his powerful spiritual power turned into two iron hammers, forging the overloaded black iron ingots hanging in the air back and forth!
There are constantly impurities, iron foam and residual energy being forged out, but at the same time, the original overloaded energy is continuously lost and the black iron finally reaches the full state of the limit of the demon, forming a perfect form of coexistence, and then being squeezed and beaten by external forces, starting a qualitative change from the inside out!
With the continuous beating of the black iron ingot, its interior became more and more stable and solid. Until the energy of the overload was exhausted, the entire iron ingot was smaller, and the color changed from silver-black to black steel.
Luo Xia once again immersed the semi-finished product in the high magic polymerization furnace for overload treatment...
After repeating this more than ten times, finally the entire black iron ingot was only 1/3 of the volume, and there was no reaction when it was put into the high-energy polymerization furnace again...
The inky blue metal weighs half as much as the same volume of black iron, and even though the finished product is much smaller, it still has a heavy, thick and hard touch, and the color is full of mystery and beauty.
On the surface, its texture was even better than the black steel dagger that Luo Xia bought. This may have something to do with the way of forging, the forging of mental power is obviously far better than that of mechanical forging.
Tempering is not an enchantment, and the magic energy attached to it will gradually disappear completely, but it is a matter of course that the mental power forged by the almost perfect force in the process is better.
Luo Xia looked at this piece of hand-forged black steel with satisfaction, and his heart was full of indescribable satisfaction.
In particular, the energy in the concentrating furnace is recovered, and after some evaluation, it feels even better. The entire process consumes less than 10 crystals of energy. That's only 1/10th the production of a Void reactor.
You know, it takes 10 crystals to make a black iron ingot in one day, and black steel is dozens of times! Even if it is made in-house, the consumption of taking out the house boundary will not seem too much of a loss. This undoubtedly saved him too much trouble, after all, in the middle of nowhere, it is difficult to buy Hei Gang.
Finally, there was a place where Luo Xia found that he was better than the house world, which meant far more to him than the value of a piece of black steel.
It also gave him confidence that one day, it would not only be the otaku that would help him grow, but he would also in turn promote the otaku to become stronger.
Luo Xia put aside the black steel that had shrunk by half, and picked up a piece again to start the previous operation.
He was going to make a little thing for himself, and black steel was the most basic inscription material, and the best material he could get at the moment.
Although there are still many magic texts that I have not learned, and I can't complete the idea at once, it is necessary to prepare the basic materials in advance.
After forging all the three black iron ingots that had been left in advance, Luo Xia stopped what he was doing with a little tiredness and turned around and walked out of the ration room.
The next black iron raw materials will take time to produce.
Then he selected some magic scripts that might be used in the future, and with the help of the soybean spirits, he began to model and recognize.
Time was of the essence, and he could not afford to relax in the slightest.
Since killing Wu Quan, the suspected leader of MI2, Luo Xia has always been in a sense of crisis.
Although Luo Xia had already selected two reliable sergeants under his command, he sent the order he had obtained to the Black Scale Army along with the forged one. It may have some effect to bring some restraint to MI2.
But it may also intensify the greater contradictions, so that he can really go against this local snake force hidden in the official background.
At least Luo Xia himself didn't believe that the other party would let go of his almost helpless self.
He didn't even choose to hand over the information to the previous MI3, because three were born out of two at the root, and the two had too many entanglements with each other. Giving the forged appointment to the three places may not even cause a little wave.
It's like this time, if the three places really want to protect themselves, they can use a better way. Instead of fighting for your life like you are now! If you don't have hole cards, you may have died a long time ago!
On the contrary, the Black Scale Army is rising strongly, and Zhu Weisi's personality gives people the impression of acting with ideas, perverse, arrogant and full of control from limited cognition. Coupled with its own power, even with the temperament and work style of the Black Scale Army, it may be able to play a better role.
Just like this time, tens of thousands of troops were scattered to the long outskirts of the Shadow Song Forest, directly driving nails into various key points in the chaotic zone to suppress and supervise. Regardless of the tactical effect, as the commander of the corps, Zhu Weisi's domineering and arrogant style is undoubtedly revealed.
Therefore, although he could not directly intervene in MI2, the two non-commissioned officers of the Black Scale Army were killed and were forged to attack and kill the other, which is unjustifiable at this juncture.
However, this does not mean that Luo Xia is safe.
On the contrary, what was originally a 'small' contradiction, a catharsis of anger, has turned into real hostility. No one can guarantee what kind of way the behemoth's MI2 will retaliate against him.
Luo Xia obviously didn't know that there was another, more dangerous force that was already eyeing him.
For more than ten days, it passed peacefully.
The Wind Chime Outpost is still under construction in an orderly manner, and the strong physique of the humans in this world and the addition of the villagers make the progress very gratifying. The foundations of the entire outpost have been completed, and the quarters of the leading sergeants have been largely completed.
The rest of the perimeter defense measures and ancillary facilities can then allow the militia to slowly go on a daily basis.
As a result, almost all of them have already moved into the newly built outpost.
During this time, Luo Xia's focus was still on 'striking iron' and studying magic scripts, and only occasionally went to inspect the work of the outpost.
But there are also some not-so-good things happening.
Some of the militia members before looked at the commander's 'very talkative' appearance, and slowly forgot the initial warning of Luo Xia. He began to use the same methods as he used to do so on the villagers of Wind Chime Village.
Luo Xia was just an ordinary person in his previous life, and he didn't know management at all, and it was not a one-time thing...
