Chapter 52: A Catastrophe

Wang Shui did not overdo it, and he quickly agreed to join the military with two demands.

First, he asked for the Philosopher's Stone and related knowledge.

Second, he needs to know who he is loyal to and what he is going to do.

Colonel Magus smiled mysteriously and threw the bright red Philosopher's Stone to him.

"The knowledge of the Philosopher's Stone will soon be available to you, and as for who you are loyal to, of course, it is the current Great President. Now what we have to do is to suppress Ishvar, and you just do your job as an alchemist in a country. ”

"In other words, nothing has changed, you are just showing me what the military is as it is." Wang Shui played with the Philosopher's Stone in the cage, and his attitude was much more casual.

"You can become a national alchemist at a young age, you are really smart."

"However, since I am the alchemist of the state, and the military actually controls the whole of Amestorius, why do you want to recruit me in such a big way?

Is it because of the different factions of the military? It's clear that you're part of the Central City faction, and you don't seem to have as much control over the country as I thought. ”

"Interesting, go on."

"Both the west and the south were annexed relatively early, and there was originally a culturally ambiguous area, and there was no concept of a country or a force, so only the newly incorporated Eastern Army, and the Northern Army, which had always been on guard against the northern enemy and was relatively closed in geography, formed two factions.

This time Operation Ishvar sent so many officers from the central city, is it to attack the Eastern Army? ”

Wang Shui deliberately took the topic away from him, and sure enough, Colonel Magus laughed even more happily, he was very satisfied that Wang Shui had put himself into a conspiracy theory, but in fact, the military management of Central City did not care much about the troops.

All the people of Amestories are merely sacrifices in the new world.

"You just need to follow the arrangement of the great president to get the knowledge you want, and now what you need to do is to stand by in the east and be ready to join the war at any time."

"You're going to provoke a big war?"

"No, it's us."

With that, Colonel Magus left the war room.

Wang Shui looked at the polygonal red spar in his hand with a serious face.

"Is this your quest item, Philosopher's Stone?"

Wang Shui weighed the stone, which was unexpectedly light, and weighed only about 50 grams in the case of a small size.

"Yes, this is the Philosopher's Stone." Sighing, Wang Shui's eyebrows furrowed.

After he mastered the Dragon Vein Alchemy, he was very sensitive to the "qi" at close range, especially the "qi" flowing in everyone's body.

And the Philosopher's Stone in his hand, in the perspective of the dragon vein, is more like being pinched together...... Person.

Wang Shui released his spirit, felt the hedron in his hand, and immediately heard the weak wail inside.

It was about three voices, very faint, the kind of meaningless cry of pain, and speaking in a language that Wang Shui did not understand.

This is the Philosopher's Stone, a miracle thing cultivated with human life.

Wang Shui touched the cage that trapped him, and instead of using the refining array, he directly imagined that the wood and steel would be disintegrated, and the red lightning burst out at the tips of his fingers, and the place where the lightning struck by his mind control instantly disintegrated into ashes.

This is the power of the Philosopher's Stone.

Wang Shui felt that as long as he extended his spirit, he could launch any alchemy at any time wherever his spirit could reach him.

He pinched the air, trying to make steel out of thin air, and he immediately realized that it could be done, but that doing so would consume a lot of the Philosopher's Stone.

"It's even more amazing than I thought."

Aqua regia still condensed a transparent glass bead in the air, and he muttered to himself:

"It's not that the atom changes, it's not that something turns into silica, it's real - creation, it's something out of nothing, but it's not me who created it, I just made a request, offered the power of the Philosopher's Stone as a price, and got the result......"

The wonderful experience aroused Wang Shui's research interest, and perhaps the detailed knowledge of the Sage's Stone refining would give him a lot of answers.

Therefore, Wang Shui is not ready to start research blindly, basic research from scratch is very time-consuming, and the road of trial and error is very painful, and it will not be too late to study it after he gets the refining array of the Philosopher's Stone.

He returned to the field hospital and saw soldiers fitting mechanical armor prosthetics.

The new wearable mechanical armor has a fool installation mode, which does not need to nail the base to the flesh together, and can be tied to the human body by relying only on the [fixing strap] of the composite material.

The mechanical armor developed by Wang Shui has manual length adjustment and counterweight adjustment, as long as you can understand the manual, you can quickly install it without understanding machinery and alchemy.

The future "Alchemist of Fire" Roy Mastan is in command, he has a calm personality, he is careful and careful, and several soldiers of the same rank as him are willing to listen to his arrangement, and he is a leader.

But Wang Shui's mind was no longer here, Colonel Magus asked him to stand by in the east, he didn't want to stay in this rear camp all the time, he had to leave tomorrow.

And today, Wang Shui's eyes fell on a young female soldier, who wore the internship badge of the non-commissioned officer school, which means that she is still a cadet and does not need to go to the front-line battlefield for the time being.

[Lisa Hawk Ai], one of the main characters, Mastan's future right-hand man.

Wang Shui was very impressed by her, of course, because she had a high appearance rate, and she was highly bound to the alchemist of flames, she was a character with a very plump image, with a resolute personality, mature thoughts, calm and straightforward and very gentle, and a very popular appearance.

But the impression of Wang Shui is more about the alchemy array behind her, Huo Keai's father is a very powerful alchemist, specializing in the alchemy of flames, that is, the study of burning.

There has been a lot of discussion on the Internet about what she is carrying on her back, and Wang Shui has seen it before he knows about this anime.

Mastan was a student of Hockai's father, and before his death, the master gave his daughter and his life's work to Mastam.

Wang Shui's gaze didn't stay long, and soon he left as if nothing had happened.

In the early hours of the morning, except for the buildings with night shifts and a small number of sentry posts, most of the area of the base was darkened, and the soldiers were already asleep.

At this point in time, a female soldier wearing a cyan military coat walked through the corridor of the dormitory, and walked inside with a clear goal, occasionally glancing at her, and only thinking that she was the one who had just returned to the dormitory.

Soon, she opened the door of a dormitory and walked in, it was a four-person room, and there were people lying on all four beds, her steps were light, her breath was completely devoid, and even opening and closing the door did not attract the attention of these professional soldiers.

She put on an ordinary mask, then took out a small bottle from her pocket, pressed the cap, and the faint white smoke quickly puffed out, and then dissipated into the air.

In the blur, the female soldier on the bed relaxed her sleeping position almost at the same time, and fell into a deeper sleep.

The masked female soldier found the short-haired Hawk Ai, turned her over and lay on the bed, and then flicked her hand, the cold flashed, and Hawk Ai's pajamas were cut open by the sharp blade of her fingertips.

Lighting up the faint light source, it is enough to illuminate the refining array and text behind Hawk Ai, compared to the regular circular refining array, the pattern behind Hawk Ai is more complicated, this is a detailed version of the refining array, with a large number of text descriptions.

The one who is memorizing this knowledge is, of course, Wang Shui, who has changed into the appearance of a female soldier, of course, he just changed his face to be more delicate, and then adjusted his figure.

After memorizing the whole text and confirming the smoothness of the text, Wang Shui repaired Huo Keai's clothes again, and then left the place.

On the way back, Wang Shui had already recovered his appearance, and he calmly returned to the three-story building where he only lived, which was the private space he specially requested, making a look of arrogance and arrogance, to reduce the military's attention to him.

Putting away the dummy in front of the desk, Wang Shui sat down by himself and immediately began to study the alchemy of flames.

"Is it necessary to do it so obscenely? I also used the next three indiscriminate things brought by the Overworld. ”

Yesterday, Sylvia, who had a whim, and is now controlling the base station of the drone in the sky for a round-the-world trip, took the time to complain.

"And I've always had a question, whether you studied magic or alchemy before, why do you always use your brain to memorize when time is tight, obviously the biological brain computer has the ability to take pictures and videos."

"Well, because the magic book can't be photographed, or if you don't hold the book in your hand and read it with a certain amount of mental power, the magic knowledge will become chaotic information, which will make people dizzy and shocked, and it will cause mental problems in the worst case."

"What about alchemy, like the knowledge just now."

Wang Shui was speechless for a while, because his memory was too good, he did forget to be able to take pictures, but he still had to have a hard mouth.

"What's the difference between me taking a look at this little bit of content and taking a picture."

Cut~

There were many onlookers on the thinking network, and Wang Shui realized that they were chatting on a public channel.

"Are they all idle! Too little work, isn't it! ”

Intimidated by the majesty of the regia water, the channel quieted down before it was lively, and Sylvia only smiled, she was now more concerned about the scenery on the road.

Moreover, Wang Shui's training has reached a threshold, and his physical fitness has basically reached the extreme, and Sylvia has also suspended combat training, allowing Wang Shui to take the initiative to find a combat opportunity and experience combat thinking with a different actual combat.

But now it seems that he is still very cowardly.

Unlike the physical fitness that will be improved by exercise, the combat thinking varies from person to person, and if you want to improve to a level, you must have your own understanding, so Sylvia is not in a hurry, she has realized the benefits of plenty of time, and she is much more relaxed in doing everything.

Wang Shui is not in a hurry, in the fantasy world, the speed of progress in the past few years has far exceeded his expectations, and now he is a little unsure of what means to use to deal with the enemy, he needs to adapt to his body and mind.

But for now, he was more interested in the alchemy of flames that he had just written.

Combustion, a chemical reaction that emits light and heat, the so-called flame, is the reaction interface and space where photothermal changes occur.

Turning energy into light and heat is the most direct explanation for combustion.

This world with alchemy is not too complicated and extraordinary, and the so-called energy is also very simple chemical energy, unlike the main world where Wang Shui is located, all kinds of energy effects make people look dizzy.

Hawke's father was a very good alchemist, and he not only did a lot of research on combustion, obtained detailed information on the parameters of various combustibles, but also recorded a large number of optimal combustion recipes, as well as methods of using mental interference to burn.

What's more, he also figured out how to cauterize the target and analyze the opponent at the same time, and by decomposing and synthesizing, the target can also be used as fuel.

Aqua regia has found a special formula for decomposition, but the research here is too simplistic, the decomposition efficiency is very low, and the research results are far from the end, and Aqua regia can even imagine that it will be a flame that burns and decomposes the surrounding items.

Most of the text behind Hawk Ai is a technology for synthesizing complex flammable gases.

Hawk Ai used complex multi-type alkanes mixed with plenty of oxygen, but Aqua Wang was keenly aware that Hawk Ai's use of nitrogen (N) was almost zero.

To know that nitrogen is the most abundant element in the air and the basis of common energetic materials, ignore the existence of nitrogen, just because the chemical level of this world is not enough?

But Wang Shui thought probably that the original author did not have this idea, and her setting led to such a result.

Of course, it is not excluded that the area behind Lisa is limited, and the old Hawk Ai can't engrave all his unfinished research.

The study was not superficial, and it was already quite powerful, but Wang Shui did not find the relevant content of the fusion reaction, which was an answer to a question he had many years ago.

After studying it carefully all night, Wang Shui stood up when it was getting dark outside.

He clipped a freshly drawn paper card in his hand, closed his hands, and a faint blue light flashed, as if nothing had happened.

Wang Shui held the card in his left hand, maintaining the blue light on the refining array, and with his right hand, he took out a grinding wheel kerosene lighter from his pocket, and then gently rubbed the sparks.

Snort –

With a slight crackling sound, a line of fire stretched along the kerosene lighter into the air, and a flame ignited with a 'bang' above the card.

Aqua regia controls the synthesis of gases, allowing the flame to gradually stabilize into a large flame that continues to burn like a torch.

Then he tried to change the composition of the combustible gas that was fed in, and the bright yellow flame gradually turned blue, and the alchemy of flames was far more controllable than he had imagined.

Wang Shui used his spirit to guide the gas and flames to gradually probe out, and the line of fire gradually stretched along his spirit, extending to the door, Wang Shui was surprised to find that he could now change the composition of the gas in the distance and even make them gather just by relying on the refining array on the card in his hand.

Genius design, but not enough!

The aquarie king's flame dissipated and he immediately began to write and draw again, and it was not until noon that he stopped again.

The original card is now full of text on the front and back, and the refining array has also been changed by him to a more complex structure, in fact, many places can be abbreviated, but he has no time to do it, so he can only write all kinds of parameters in as much detail as possible.

This time, Wang Shui threw the card out, and then used the ring on his hand to activate the remote refining before it hit the door.

The card was held in the air, Wang Shui threw out the spark, and the line of fire really extended all the way, Wang Shui spent one percent of his original energy, and extended the flame to the door, and he fused alchemy into it, enhancing his control over the gas.

And then there'...... Aqua regia was activated again, and a large gray gas mixture was compressed around the card.

"Compressed, blended, and formed dust-like carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen compounds, doped in such a gas environment...... Continuous compression, followed by interlocking refining of the analytic air into ......"

Wang Shui muttered as he threw out sparks, and when the line of fire flew out of his hand, his stunned eyes suddenly lit up.

"I'm like I'm in a closed house!"

All that remained in his mind was this simple thought, and then his body was already moving on its own.

Wang Shui exerted a force at his feet, the whole person curled up and smashed open the window, jumping out directly from the third floor, in mid-air he touched the Philosopher's Stone, and the red lightning decomposed the air under his guidance, leading out a low-pressure combustible gas channel.

Rumble!!! ——

An extremely dull tremor spread throughout the military base, bright red flames "grew" from the small building, and a huge shock wave swept through, shattering all the brittle glass-like products in an instant.

The flaming greatsword that pierced the sky hundreds of meters long dispelled the clouds in the sky, and the blinding light filled the entire world.

Wang Shui's small building was directly shattered, and other buildings in close proximity were also shattered, Wang Shui felt a squeezing sensation in his body, and involuntarily spat blood, the corners of his eyes and nose were warm and rusty.

His ears and brain were buzzing, and in the chaos of consciousness, Wang Shui reluctantly activated the Dragon Vein Alchemy to quickly repair his body so as not to cause more damage.

It took about two minutes for Wang Shui to stand up, which made him a little dazed by the scene of an aerial bomb attack, but after an explosion of this magnitude, there was no enemy attack alarm in the entire base!

Only then did Wang Shui react, although he was close, the soldiers who had also suffered the shock wave outside did not have his physique!

He quickly jumped to a relatively high position, then took out his "worm" pistol, fired twelve shots in all directions, and then launched the alchemy.

The bullet fired by him has a very hard warhead, and the charge of the bullet is very small, so the refining array on the warhead is preserved.

Wang Shui united the twelve refining arrays in the distance to build a huge array, and then used the dragon vein alchemy technique to quickly locate all the people.

None of the situation is good! Ninety percent of the people fainted!

Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Shui used the alchemy array and the Philosopher's Stone to increase and squeeze the power of the dragon vein.

A huge swarm of lightning immediately enveloped the entire base, and all people within the lightning range began to heal, especially their brains - if the concussion and cerebral stasis did not recover, most of them would die!

After trying his best to release the "group of milk", Wang Shui, who had not rested all night, also sat down on top of the high ruins.

The ruined ruins are like a throne, and Shui Wang is the new king with a sore face on it.
