Chapter Ninety-Three, The Light of the Original Solution
"The Alchemy Handbook......"
Sawn muttered. The so-called "manual" in front of me is obviously more suitable to be called by the word "whole book", with a purple-gold cover, more than two feet thick, and three feet in length and width, like a hill on the experimental bench.
"The teacher is really, just leave this one away, and don't tell people how to use these things. Looking at the pile of equipment and materials in front of him, who didn't know how to use them, Solo shook his head helplessly.
"Let's honestly look at the book, there should be a record in it. Learn alchemy well, and only then will you be qualified to go to Klyatos with your teacher. With that, Sawo plunged headlong into the sea of books.
......
In the laboratory next to Sawy, Abraham was leisurely sipping tea, and on the screen in front of him, the scene in Sawong's laboratory was presented.
"Well, yes, I wasn't scared by the Alchemy Handbook, and I didn't try alchemy in a hurry, it's good. ”
Abraham approved, and continued to stare at the screen, the reason why he just gave a brief demonstration and left Solo alone to explore, the biggest purpose was to see if Tho could calm down and study the "Alchemy Manual" seriously, calm and calm is a necessary quality for an alchemist.
On this side, Soar opened the manual, and the first article recorded only the most basic alchemy totems such as the totem of strength and the totem of tenacity, and the stock solution materials required to engrave this kind of totem basically did not exceed five kinds.
However, even if it is just a few simple materials, because of the amount of dose, the order of delivery, and the timing of delivery, the final difference in metalmaking properties will be very different.
With the same material, the final alchemy effect in the hands of an alchemy apprentice may be less than 5%, but after the inscription of a master-level alchemist, the final effect can reach 40%. The gap between the two is simply not comparable, which is why high-level alchemists are so rare, because the requirements for promotion are too high.
"Power stock solution: 10 grams of third-order burst salamander blood, 3.6 g of melted pollen over ten years, 2 g of sap from burning fruit over ten years, and 5 g of binder. ”
(Note: The year or grade of the material is also the key to the preparation of the stock solution, the higher the material level, the more difficult it is to prepare the high-purity stock solution, and the stronger the increase in the attributes obtained by the equipment after the success of the inscription totem.) )
As he flipped through the book, Soar found the four ingredients for the power essence in a pile of bottles and jars.
"Okay, try it now. ”
After taking a crystal bottle, Soy added various materials to the bottle little by little according to the instructions in the manual.
"Ha, glow, this is going to be a success. Hey, what's bubbling? Hey, it's still smoking...... It won't explode. ”
Boom
Red smoke filled the lab, and Solo looked at the only bottleneck left in his hand, his face glazed.
"Hahaha, this kid actually put the juice of the burning fruit in the front, there is no buffer of melted pollen, these two things will react too violently and explode when they touch. Ouch, I'm laughing to death, and I can't read the whole book. In the lab next door, Abraham clutched his stomach and laughed, and he clearly stated in the manual that "put the materials in strict order, otherwise you will bear the consequences", but Soy still fell for it.
Solo scratched his head, looked at the manual carefully, and then realized: "It turns out that you can't just change the order." ”
This time, something strange happened when Thom was dropping materials in strict order, and every time he put down an ingredient, there seemed to be a feeling in the dark that guided him to finish dropping the previous one before he could continue to cast one after a certain period of time.
"What is this kid doing, 3 seconds after the melted pollen is put in is the best time to put the burning fruit juice, otherwise the blood of the burst salamander and the melted pollen will be too much reaction, and then the burning fruit juice will not achieve the best effect. It's clear in my manual, it's been more than ten seconds, why hasn't he put the juice out. ”
Abraham looked at Soy on the screen strangely, all the recipes of the alchemy totem essence on the "Alchemy Handbook" and the method of concocting the essence were all the best results obtained by the alchemists of the past generations after thousands of experiments. Tho's current approach to doing so is quite different from the method recorded above.
On this side, 16 seconds after putting in the melted pollen, Solo finally poured the 2g of burning fruit juice that had been prepared into the crystal bottle, and immediately put the 5g of adhesive in his right hand into it.
Abraham saw Saw's step and immediately patted his thigh: "It's over, the adhesive was put too early, the first three materials have not been fully fused at all, and the purity of this bottle of power stock solution can be 30%." ”
The purity of the stock solution will directly affect the smoothness of the subsequent inscription, a bottle of high purity of the stock solution can affect the final effect, and more importantly, it can reduce a lot of burden for the alchemist when inscribed the totem, the more advanced the totem The higher the requirements for the purity of the stock solution. To identify the purity of the stock solution, it is necessary to look at the clarity of the stock solution after the preparation is completed.
Abraham was still thinking about teaching him a good lesson with these "wrong operations" of Tho's "mistakes" later, when the laboratory on the other side of the screen suddenly emitted a dazzling red light, and the source of this light was the crystal bottle in Tho's hand, the light dissipated, and what remained in the bottle was a layer of magnificent crimson essence, crystal clear and flawless.
Abraham jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by the tail: "The light of the original liquid! 100% pure power essence, how can it be !!"
It's no wonder that Abraham is so out of shape, the light of the original solution is a strange phenomenon that can only be produced after the completion of the original solution reaches 100%, Abraham has been immersed in alchemy for decades, and he will mix no less than a thousand kinds of original liquid, but the original liquid with a completion degree of 100%, even he is not sure that he can call out a few.
Solo is just a rookie who has just come into contact with alchemy, plus the explosion just now, this is the second time he has concocted the original liquid, and the second concoction has produced a 100% pure power essence, if someone told him before that someone can do it, he will definitely jump up and slap the other party without hesitation.
"Abraham, you have to be calm, calm down! Maybe it was just an accident, yes, definitely an accident!!" Abraham barely convinced himself of the "accident", staring at the screen with a pair of eyes to see what So'o would do next.
"Well, the color of this stock solution is quite beautiful, and the next thing should be the inscription totem. Sawo grinned as he looked at his masterpiece.
"Power totem, it looks really weird. ”
Tho pursed his lips and picked up the wolf's hair, the metal barrel engraved with strange patterns, and it was quite weighty to hold in his hand. The effect of the patterns is similar to that of the magic array, and only by relying on these patterns can the original liquid of the engraved totem condense in the air and not fall to the ground.
Sawo calmed down, followed Abraham's example, closed his eyes, and the wolf clinged to a foot in front of his chest, imagining what the power totem would look like in his mind.
Alchemy totems are fixed, but the techniques of inscription totems are very different, no matter how the techniques change, the ultimate goal is to try to avoid mistakes, once there is a little mistake in the inscription totem, all the previous efforts will be in vain, this is the reason why alchemists have high requirements for soul strength, and people with too low soul strength simply cannot support until the moment when the totem is completed.
Abraham kept staring at Saw's hand, only to see Sawo hold his breath and concentrate on the wolf waving in his hand, from low to high.
"Hahaha, it's good, it's worthy of surpassing the cyan soul strength, even if it's just the first time to inscribe, it can be so smooth, and there is no trace of tiredness at all. ”
Abraham laughed, in his opinion, Saw's performance at this time was entirely due to the strength of his soul, so in addition to being slightly surprised at first, he was more happy that he had found such a genius.
At this moment, although Solo in the laboratory is calm on the surface, he has actually set off a lot of waves in his heart. Because that "feeling" appeared again, although it seemed as if Solo was inscribed according to the power totem in the "Alchemy Manual", but only he knew that the totem he was inscribed was not a simple power totem at all, but something called a giant power totem.
Solo didn't know why the name and inscription method of this totem came to his mind, anyway, it just appeared out of thin air, and he was still drawing this totem according to that "feeling".
"Well, yes, there is still one last stroke to complete, although the technique is still a little rusty, and the final effect may not be too good, but this is the first time, and the young man has a bright future. ”
Abraham looked at Sawo on the screen with satisfaction, and now he was more and more pleased with the young man.
"Isn't it already inscribed, why hasn't Solo stopped? ”
Abraham, who was about to go next door to find Soy Tho, suddenly screamed, only to see that Tho, who had already engraved the power totem, did not mean to stop writing, and the wolf continued to wave in his hand, and soon, a totem completely different from the original power totem appeared.
"Why haven't I seen this totem......? Soar is creating totems !!" Abraham was taken aback by his own idea, creating totems, which is the ability of those alchemists who have a deep knowledge of alchemy, like him Abraham, in his life, in the last few years when he developed the fighting armor, he created a few totems for the fighting armor, before this, he didn't even dare to think about creating totems.
Abraham's little heart thumped, and Sawn came to an end.
"Giant Power Totem, now!!"
A totem glowing with a brilliant red glow floated in the air, and Solo wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed.
"Solo !!"
Abraham broke in, carefully observed the giant totem for a while, and immediately picked up a pen to record the totem. Then, stretching his neck, he clubbed the wrinkled old face directly in front of Soo.
"Soo, let's be honest, you're not a student of some old monster-level alchemist. Abraham looked at Sawo "viciously", and his eyes almost popped out.
"Well, teacher, do you think I look like me? ”
"That's right, look at your methods to know that you are still a rookie, a rookie not only prepared a 100% purity of the original solution but also created a new totem, hahahaha, Lao Tzu has picked up the treasure, Soou, you are really a genius of his grandfather. Abraham couldn't help but burst into foul language, dancing like a child.
