Volume 4 The Rising Star of the Imperial Capital 12 The Imperial Capital Water Project 01
The next day, after Xu Zheng put forward the request to do practical risk, Forrester privately tested Xu Zheng's alchemy theory level, and was surprised to find that in addition to the content related to magic, this guy not only understands most of the content of alchemy quite thoroughly, but also has many entry points and angles to see the problem completely different from his own.
The results of the test made Forrester secretly sigh that he had accepted a genius student, and after thinking twice, he decided to open his alchemy laboratory to Xu Zheng.
In order not to cause the other students to be alarmed, this process is carried out in secret. Since then, Xu Zheng has often disappeared for no reason, except for sitting in the freshman classroom of the Alchemist Department and studying by himself. Fortunately, Xu Zheng was a student of both the Magician Department and the Alchemist Department, and when he entered the laboratory, Forrester said that he had gone to the Ministry of Magic. In fact, since Xu Zheng was tested by Garcia, it had been determined that Xu Zheng could directly skip the learning process of magician meditation, and he only went to the magician department once and did not go again.
Xu Zheng stayed in Forrester's alchemy laboratory, and Forrester gave him a lot of entry-level alchemy experiments. Xu Zheng is not greedy, not in a hurry, and honestly starts from the most basic experiments. First, I tried to synthesize various rudimentary alchemy reagents and materials, drew the rudimentary magic array by hand, and developed to use various materials to decompose the primary enchantment materials and try to make magic scrolls, and advanced step by step.
Throughout the process, Xu Zheng took the introductory basic course of analyzing research materials very seriously. In Xu Zheng's view, all things are composed of the most basic substances, and if they can be decomposed into the most basic state for alchemical analysis, it is the most important step. Therefore, Xu Zheng, who meticulously did this experimental process, was not only appreciated by Forrester for his down-to-earth and sincere style, but also took every step seriously in a down-to-earth manner. So I learned a lot in the process. The other alchemy apprentices, out of ten, ignore the importance of this step because the process is boring.
When Priests asked Xu Zheng why he took the experiment so seriously. Xu Zheng smiled back, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "When researching a problem, in my hometown, there is always a fixed pattern: make bold assumptions first. Then design the experiment with the problem, carefully observe and measure, interpret the experimental data, and finally get the result. I'm just used to following this order. ”
Forrester was amazed that an apprentice alchemist could say such a summarizing sentence, which was more incisive than his own summary, and the essence of the process from hypothesis to verification was explained in a few simple sentences. Where did this young man come from? Forrester began to take a keen interest in Xu Zheng's so-called 'hometown'.
A month passed, and the result of Xu Zheng's experiments was that he had a thorough understanding of various alchemy decomposition and synthesis methods, and at the same time, he was also filled with all kinds of alchemy basic materials, enchantment dust, and various essences in Mr. Forrester's laboratory.
In fact, due to the knowledge of the same matter in past and present lives. and the inference of the properties of similar substances according to the principle of analogy, making Xu Zheng's efficiency in doing this step even higher than that of Forrester himself. For example, when a piece of scorched wood vine of the same volume is decomposed. Forrester was only able to decompose an adsorbent vine-like body and a small amount of silver stardust. And Xu Zheng can not only decompose these two things, but at the same time have more than Forrest, he can sometimes decompose the essence of the Silver Star. Later, Xu Zheng had more hands-on experience, and after boldly adding boundary stones as catalysts, he changed the decomposition step to dehydration with desiccant first, and then catalyzed with boundary stones, which can not only decompose more silver stardust. The appearance rate of Silver Star Essence has also increased to 60%, and the amount has also increased significantly. While greatly appreciating it, Forrester recorded Xu Zheng's method in the alchemy textbook as an improved method for refining the scorched wood vine. Since then, Forrester has rarely done the work of breaking down materials, and often leaves this step to Xu Zheng, an obviously talented person.
When Xu Zheng was proficient in extracting materials from various substances and using various materials, Forrester began to let Xu Zheng systematically learn and draw magic arrays. At this time, the other alchemy students learned the basic course of understanding and decomposition. According to Xu Zheng's progress, in a sense, especially in the process of hands-on practice, he has actually embarked on a journey that exceeds that of more than five years of old students.
In the study of the knowledge of the entire magic array system, Forrester still adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Xu Zheng and let Xu Zheng study on his own. After a period of observation, Forrester found that Xu Zheng's self-learning ability is quite amazing, he can always study this knowledge by himself, and his strength is like a ten-headed little bull, wandering in the vast world of alchemy, all he has to do is to pull it right when he deviates from the direction.
In fact, Xu Zheng's performance is even better than Forest's counterpart. With a long one hundred and four years of human and machine merger in his previous life, Xu Zheng after learning the basic theoretical knowledge of the magic array, when he drew the magic array by himself, he regarded it as programming, used lines and ancient words to build the magic array, and then let the magic power interpret it on its own.
A simple and complete magic circle can be disassembled into five parts: the head of the array, the tail of the array, the formation body, the magic guide part, and the magic link. The head of the array determines the properties of the magic array, the tail of the array determines the effect of the magic array, the body determines how the magic array works, the magic guide part determines how to introduce magic power to make the magic array work, and the magic link part determines the specific flow of magic power and how to participate in the construction and overall work of the magic array. The process of selecting and combining these parts together is very similar to programming - first determine the programming idea, draw a programming flow chart, determine what you want to do, and then think about how to make the program complete the task.
After this simple characterization of the magic array, the learning and drawing of the magic array became simpler. In particular, the large magic array and the multiple magic array nesting looked extremely complicated in Forrester's eyes, but in the eyes of Xu Zheng, an alchemy apprentice, it was not as complicated as studying the essence of the magic array. It's like programming a module language, you just need to determine what you want to achieve when programming, and then select the appropriate module functions and write them in, instead of studying how the module accomplishes the task. Just care about the function, you don't have to know exactly how it works. The whole process is like arching building blocks, just put them together piece by piece.
Therefore, the study and drawing of the magic array became a fixed process in Xu Zheng's hands. First of all, you must first determine what you are drawing this magic circle for, that is, determine its function. Then you need to select the head of the formation and decide on the attributes. Then draw the formation step by step to complete the system to be completed in the process of operation of the magic array. Next is the end of the formation, telling the magic array what kind of strength to work with, and deciding the energy consumption that drives the magic array. Finally, use the magic link part to connect the entire magic array to complete a perfect and reasonable magic array.
As for large-scale, multi-nested, etc., it is simpler, just consider the relationship between them and the attributes they manifest, and grab the ready-made magic array to use it.
When Xu Zheng was in front of Forrester's eyes, drawing the magic array with such a method of programming and building blocks, Forrester first shook his head for Xu Zheng's clumsy painting skills, and then the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, and the more he looked at it, the more excited he became, and waited until Xu Zheng decomposed the complicated space magic array of the Jianli storage space into thirty-seven magic arrays, and then took these magic arrays to dismantle them, until they were dismantled into the most primitive basic magic arrays such as earth, fire, wind, thunder, and water, Forrester was completely speechless - Xu Zheng proved that this set of theories was completely correct- Although I don't understand it at all. Moreover, in the research of the magic array, Xu Zheng has surpassed himself a lot!
From this time on, Forrester became strongly interested in Xu Zheng's method of studying the magic array. The alchemist class he brought was completely abandoned, and he called another alchemy teacher to take over his class, and he soaked in his laboratory every day to learn this programming concept from Xu Zheng.
However, for a person who has not received modern scientific knowledge, the concept of programming is too elusive to understand. Xu Zheng took a lot of pain, and Forrester only seemed to understand some furs. However, even so, a new door to the ocean of alchemy was still opened in front of Forrest Gan, this old man confirmed Xu Zheng's words and the study of the magic array, and became more and more aware of its wonderful use, and couldn't help but be fascinated, and devoted himself to research, and the fanatical scholar's energy erupted, out of control, and finally even Xu Zheng had no time to care.
At this time, Xu Zheng studied the magic array almost well, and the basic magic array was all familiar with his chest, and he had memorized nearly a thousand kinds of magic arrays that might be used as modules.
