Chapter 454: Mechanics
Mechanics, a type of alchemy.
Pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, cannons, ironclad battleships, airships, aerial battleships, and even future war fortresses, etc., all belong to the category of mechanics in alchemy.
Automata, Steel Golems, Shadow Golems, Blade Traps, Falling Rock Traps, Tracking Missiles, Laser Cutting, etc., also belong to the category of mechanics in alchemy.
If the branch of pharmacy is concerned only with herbs and the refining of herbs, then mechanics, once developed, is an all-encompassing discipline.
After all, any mechanical structure that doesn't rely much on magic can be counted as part of mechanics.
Therefore, due to the different environments, the mechanics between the dark regions and the sky and the sea of clouds are very different.
In the vast sky and sea of clouds, except for more demonic professionals such as Midi and Fina, most of the personal attacks are difficult to use, and no matter how powerful the weapon is, in the aerial battlefield, the range is also a little inadequate.
Therefore, the mechanics developed by Sky and Cloud Sea are mostly large machines, the smallest size, and they are also of the pioneer class.
But in the Dark Regions, this is a world locked in by rocks and darkness, this is a world with darkness in its magic, and it is a world that is like a never-ending labyrinth.
Therefore, in the dark regions, alchemy mechanisms, traps, and magic circles are the focus of all mechanics.
Not only that, due to the characteristics of the Dark Elf race, ranged classes such as roaming gunners and gunners that value agility and use firearms can be found everywhere, so alchemy firearms have become the mainstream.
As time passed, Midi began to gain a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics of the Dark Regions.
And with this comprehensive understanding, he also found that although there is a huge difference between the sky and the sea of clouds and the dark region, there are still many places where the mechanics of the two different directions can be integrated.
There are even many things that are missing in the mechanics of the dark region, which can be made up for by the strict manufacturing method of the sea of clouds in the sky!
Coupled with the fact that the Eighth Apostle Lotus dialed from time to time, Midi's progress in mechanics can be said to be a rapid progress.
If there was a real mechanical alchemist standing here at this moment, he would be greatly surprised to see the span of books that Midi was flipping through.
From the original "Introduction to the Principles of Mechanics", to "Gunsmithing", "Ammunition Generation", "Alchemy Mechanism", "Six Hundred Ways to Use Traps", etc., etc., there are more and more books piled up around Midi, and they are becoming more and more profound.
If "Introduction to the Principles of Mechanics" is regarded as a zero-level mechanics book, then when it comes to the future, books like "High-Speed Magic Force Rifle" are equivalent to fourth- or fifth-level books.
To be able to make a real high-speed magic rifle is equivalent to mastering mechanics.
An ordinary alchemist, even if he specializes in mechanics, will take at least five years from entry to mastery.
But now, how can it not be surprising that Midi has reached such heights directly from a layman in less than ten hours?
In fact, even the Eighth Apostle Lotus, who had always had a very high vision, couldn't help but be shocked after seeing Midi's progress.
"Perhaps, you really have a talent for alchemy, especially mechanics. The supreme powerhouse looked at the mountains of books around Midi and sighed.
"Someone used to say that before. Midi's eyes were a little complicated.
When Midi designed the prototype of the Pioneer Boat, both Master Norton and Wells had felt the same way.
However, at that time, Midi knew very well that he was only borrowing from the advantages of rebirth, so he was able to conceive something like the Pioneer Boat that was several years ahead of technology.
Therefore, he did not go too far to tap into his alchemy talent.
But at this moment, even the supreme powerhouse gave the same evaluation, and Midi couldn't help but wonder if he had neglected alchemy too much before.
But fortunately, now he has at least a chance to make up for it.
Just read more mechanics books and you're good to go.
Time immersed in knowledge always flies, and ten hours pass in a flash, and Midi walks out of the library tower with a look of satisfaction.
"Did Mistress Midi get anything?" the elder asked quietly, retracting his badge.
"It's a big gain, there are indeed many differences between the pharmaceutics of the dark region and the surface, after the comparison, maybe the success rate of refining a seventh-level potion will be even higher. Midi replied casually.
Level 7 Elixir!
Even the Death Scorpion, a well-informed elder, couldn't help but be moved when he heard this.
If the average person said such a thing, it would only be taken as a joke.
But the black-haired human in front of him had refined a bottle of the real seventh-level elixir "Fire Core Elixir" in the first alchemy.
And now, after reading these most basic pharmacy classics on the first floor of the library tower, he actually said that he could improve the success rate of refining a seventh-level potion!
If he were shown the second-level and third-level alchemy classics, what kind of height would this human being's refining level reach?
The elder couldn't help but have such a thought.
For a moment, he couldn't help but wonder if he should fully open the library tower to Midi without paying any contribution points.
But of course, Midi didn't know that her words would make so many thoughts go through the elder's mind.
Even if he knew, Midi wouldn't be too interested.
Because his purpose is not to become a real alchemy master, but to get a ticket to enter the Black Dragon Conference.
"The basics have been remediated, and the next thing to do is to go there. Illuminated by the starlight of the huge cavern, Midi cast her eyes on another giant stalagmite not far away.
That's where the Death Scorpion's mechanical workshop is located.
Early the next morning, Midi rarely did not refine the potion or cultivate, but walked directly to the mechanical workshop with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.
With the identity of a high-level alchemist, no guard will stop Midi, and besides, the name he has broken through in the past few days and his conspicuous human identity have attracted a lot of attention along the way.
The person in charge of the mechanical workshop was also a master alchemist, and even knew about Midi, but it was clear that he was quite puzzled by the presence of this colleague.
"Midi Asrex, that's your name, isn't it?" the master alchemist glanced at Midi, and there was no joy or sorrow in his expression, "You've been stirring up the Scorpion of Death in the past few days. ”
"In the dark region, if you have strength, you should come out, I think so. Midi replied calmly, "You're Master Buck?"
"Exactly. Buck nodded, "Master Midi, why are you here?"
With a few words and the prying eyes of his psychic abilities, Midi could roughly tell that this Buck Master was not hostile to him, but of course, he did not have any good intentions.
To put it bluntly, this is a tech maniac, more akin to Master Norton, and Buck, who was born as a member of the Death Scorpion family, must be much more arrogant in temper than Norton in his early years.
However, this is difficult for Midi, or rather, such a technical maniac is the easiest target for him to capture.
"Master Buck, I have a reluctant request. Midi smiled, rubbed her eyes, which had darkened from the all-night exertion, and pressed a stack of drawings in front of the other man.
"This is?" Buck's gaze swept away, and his gaze finally changed.
"My friend is a roaming gunslinger who has described to me some of his ideal equipment that he wants to use in the upcoming Morsobre City Fighter drafts. "Because I knew a thing or two about mechanics, I drew some simple sketches based on his ideas. ”
"I see. Buck nodded.
It's not like this master hasn't seen a situation like this.
There are always some professionals with great ideas or characteristics who will need proprietary equipment, they may be good at drawing a little, or they are like Midi to bypass, but in the end, it is still necessary for a master mechanic to turn the sketch into a professional mechanical design drawing, and then make the parts and assemble them.
This midi was obviously begging for him.
However, how could the mechanical workshop of the Scorpion of Death be so easy to find?
Buck didn't bother to look at the drawings, just thinking about how to say goodbye to his budding colleague.
But the next moment, what Midi took out of his bosom made him swallow the words back.
It was a rare bottle of sixth-order elixir, a scorching silver potion.
This potion is neither a combat support nor a rank potion, but a bottle of alchemy.
With this potion, many metal materials that were originally difficult to fuse together can be easily refined and then combined into rare alloy materials.
In other words, it is a substance such as a fusion agent or a catalyst.
For a profession like an alchemy master that does not engage in combat all year round, the meaning of the rank is only to provide more magic power during alchemy, so ordinary potions can't attract such people at all.
But it was clear that Midi's bottle of potion was exactly what he liked, and he had no way to refuse.
"I know that Master Buck is in an important position, and he must be very busy in normal times, but this time the trouble is on your head, please smile at this bottle of potion. A smile tugged at the corner of Midi's mouth.
Just by seeing the other person's eyes glow, he knew that Buck would definitely not refuse him.
"Since it is Master Midi's request, then my side will naturally do my best. Master Buck hurriedly hid the bottle of hot silver potion in his arms, rolled his eyes and said, "But I'm going to say it first, if the design itself is too fanciful......"
"If that's the case, then it's up to me to dispel my friend's unrealistic ideas. Midi replied immediately.
Buck finally nodded.
Seeing Midi away, the master alchemist returned to his workshop, where he slowly opened the stack of sketches.
"This human says he knows a thing or two about mechanics, so let me see how good he is. Muttering in a condescending tone, Buck casually glanced at the sketch.
The next moment, his gaze froze completely.
