The bald old man's sudden question made Ye Changsheng a little overwhelmed.

This kind of technical question cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and besides, it is not easy to say it on this occasion, right?

An Zhisu smiled and introduced: "Changsheng, this is Elder Meng, one of the four elders of the General Guild, and also the director of the four-story refining tower, and the person in charge of yesterday's refining tripod acceptance, it seems that Lao Meng can't wait." ”

Ye Changsheng suddenly bowed to Elder Meng.

When he walked into the gate, he had already seen the refining tower of the General Guild, which was two floors higher than the Nine Winds Provincial Branch, reaching five floors.

In other words, the highest-level refiner of the Cloud Dragon Principality Refiner Guild is a fifth-grade refiner.

As the person in charge of the four-story tower, Elder Meng was the sixth-grade refiner.

According to Changsheng's understanding, the entire General Association of Refiners, and even the Thirteenth Branch, there were only three sixth-grade refiners in total.

These three are An Zhisu, the chief elder of the General Guild, and then there is Elder Meng in front of him.

Elder Meng may also have realized that he was a little anxious, and couldn't help but scratch his head and smile and said, "Master Ye Shaotang, don't blame, when the old man accepted the refining instrument tripod yesterday, he left a lot of questions in his heart, and when he saw you coming, he couldn't help it." ”

Changsheng lowered his head and said: "The seniors are polite, if the juniors encounter any technical problems, I'm afraid they will be more anxious than you." ”

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the General Guild of Alchemists is no different.

But after all, the general guild is a place to do research and learning, and compared with other places, it is still less intrigue and more pure.

In his heart, Changsheng preferred to deal with a technician like Elder Meng, but instead of liking a bureaucrat like Zhang Yuanyi.

When everyone heard Ye Changsheng's words, they couldn't help but laugh, and the atmosphere was very friendly.

At the back of the crowd, there was a white and chubby young man standing, looking at Ye Changsheng with a timid and curious gaze.

Ye Changsheng was also very curious, judging from the young man's attire, he should just be an ordinary staff member, and he didn't know why he appeared in the high-level greeting team.

An Zhisu followed his gaze and said with a smile: "Ding Dabao, come here, come and meet the enemy you have never forgotten." ”

Enemies?

Still in mind?

Ye Changsheng was surprised, and immediately heard everyone laughing.

Ding Dabao hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Ye Changsheng helplessly, and before he could speak, his face was already red.

Zhang Yuanyi stepped forward very flexibly and said with a smile: "Master Ye Shaotang, last year you solved more than a dozen problems one after another, it was Ding Dabao who made a big oolong." ”

Ye Changsheng looked surprised, and after listening to what happened, he couldn't help crying and laughing.

He really didn't know that his unintentional actions would cause such a big trouble to the General Guild, and neither Fang Daqi nor Fan Daozhen had told him about it.

However, it can also be seen from this incident that the General Guild of Refiners is actually a very tolerant existence, otherwise, Ding Dabao would have been disposed of a long time ago and would not have appeared here.

Ye Changsheng looked at the embarrassed Ding Dabao and smiled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to make a mess for you, next time I solve the problem, I'll try to be as slow as possible." ”

Ding Dabao hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, I have optimized the monitoring system, even if you are fast now, I will not be mistaken!"

An Zhisu nodded and said: "Changsheng, if it weren't for the oolong last time, we wouldn't have found a loophole in the supervision, Dabao is still very competitive, and he is a rare talent." ”

Everyone smiled and nodded.

With this little episode, the refiners and Ye Changsheng quickly became warm, and everyone gathered in wheelchairs and began to visit officially.

The refining tower of the General Guild was not only tall, but also had a large internal space, just one floor, which was four or five times larger than the guild in the Nine Winds Province.

In the large space, the various workshops are separated by baffles, which are staggered, clean and bright.

The transparent baffle is hollowed out with a perforated pattern to cleverly reduce noise to a minimum.

On the tall roof, there are oblate wind attribute arrays installed, which not only maintain a constant temperature on the floor, but also extract excess dust.

Ye Changsheng was amazed, looked up and down, and was immediately attracted by a huge eight-clawed monster.

It was a giant puppet octopus, with an apprentice alchemist sitting on its body, controlling the octopus's movements through the trap in front of it.

Each of the eight tentacles that stretched out was seven meters long, with shiny metal limbs, interlocking and full of technological beauty.

Under the control of the apprentice, the ends of the eight tentacles carried the materials, and the long steel tentacles threw the materials into a refining instrument in turn.

And directly above the refining tripod, a huge crystal was suspended, and the transparent crystal pillar extended down and submerged into the tripod.

Once the temperature of the refining dome changes, it will be clearly visible on the crystal pillar, and then activate the color block on the crystal block.

Ye Changsheng only observed for a moment, and was shocked to find that the crystal pillar's record of temperature had changed three times in a single breath.

With such a keen and accurate temperature measurement, even if you ask the senior swordsmith of the Sword Hall, you may not be able to do it!

And for the control of temperature, whether it is for sword forging or refining, it is almost the key to success or failure.

Ye Changsheng was amazed, and his eyes were also hot.

If Wenjian Hall can also be equipped with such an intuitive and powerful temperature test crystal, I am afraid that the success rate of forging a sword can be increased by at least two percent.

Ye Changsheng didn't need to hide his surprise and envy, let alone his heartfelt exclamation, which made the accompanying refiners satisfied, and the director of the first-floor tower was even more eyebrows, and he consciously showed his face greatly.

Of course, Ye Changsheng also saw the flaws, but there was no need to say it on this occasion.

The General Guild, like the refiners of the Nine Winds Branch, relied too much on mechanisms and puppets, and the finished products they refined naturally lacked personality and were too heavy on craftsmanship.

Although the low-level magic weapon is fine as long as it is successfully refined, there is no need for too many subjective things, but what about going up?

If the apprentices of the refiner have always been refining in this environment, in the long run, I am afraid that the individuality will also be worn out into commonality, and even if they become refiners, I am afraid that they will lose their style.

And for a refiner, the feeling is very important.

Lack of feeling means losing creativity and conforming.

Of course, it's not that refiners don't know the importance of feeling, it's not that they can't be flexible, or they practice it.

But in the same sentence, they can't give up their natural sense of superiority, and in their bones, they already regard those things that need to be done by themselves as crude work.

This kind of cognitive bias cannot be reversed by manpower.

There are a few corrected refiner apprentices in the Sword Hall, and their skills have improved very quickly, and Ye Changsheng is very optimistic.

But as a result, both Fang Daqi and Fan Daozhen regarded those seedlings as outliers.

So before coming this time, Ye Changsheng had already made a plan, just watch it and not say it, so as not to offend people.

Whether it is the Zhongshan Spirit Essence that he didn't get his hands on or the Sword Hiding Room he wants to go to, he needs the cooperation of others.
