Section 249 Synthesis
Speaking of which, no research can succeed with all the luck of nothing. Even if they can research a suitable heavenly material and earth treasure, just like those alchemy apprentices in the Alchemy Valley, they have studied the Qi Condensation Pill by mistake, but the theory is not solid, and they don't know the principle of the formation of the pill at all, so far they have not studied other kinds of pills, let alone research on higher-grade Qi Condensing Pills or other pills.
Seriously speaking, those alchemy apprentices from Xin Yu's secretary group can at least understand the compatibility of some medicinal materials, and they can also theoretically determine the research direction of the elixir formula. However, these material researchers, who have not even understood the research principles of ordinary materials and the laws of material formulations, can they design more advanced material test schemes that can be called natural treasures?
In fact, Xin Yu is also responsible for this. After all, these material experts are already the top existences in the entire world, but they are still ordinary people after all, and they have no concept of Xingbao at all.
Although these material experts knew that Xin Yu wanted them to research materials that could replace the Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures and could be used to create Star Treasure embryos, they did not have the insight of an astral magician, nor did they know what the special abilities of the Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures were, let alone what kind of materials were qualified.
There is not even a direction for research, so it is natural for their "experience" to come. Speaking of which, these material experts who were responsible for designing the test plan for the astrologist research team were the same laboratory personnel who had created Xingbao for Xin Yu.
Judging from the "experience" of Bai Xing, the leader of the research group, the ten peerless star treasures that Xin Yu once created were just meteorites with relatively excellent materials, and they were smelted with various metals. It is an excellent ...... with high melting point, high hardness, high strength and high toughness Ordinary alloy materials only.
And judging from Xin Yu's "record" of using Xingbao, it seems that the entire astral world can cause damage to Xin Yu's ten peerless star treasures and star magicians, there is no one at all. In this way, Bai Xing naturally thought that the materials that could be used for Xingbao embryos were not very great things in nature.
Nowadays, let them refer to and imitate the existing natural materials and earth treasures, and they can only roughly judge the types of elements of the heavenly materials and earth treasures through the "soil method", and then "arbitrarily" estimate the proportion of the elements, and then design an almost endless research plan.
Although we have accidentally researched a more practical steel for ships, it is normal that we have not copied the treasures of heaven and earth.
Speaking of which, this is also because as an ordinary person's material expert, he doesn't know Xingbao himself, and he doesn't know that Xin Yu used the Ten Absolute Formation Method to make the meteorite alloy with ordinary material become more powerful after the increase. I thought that Xingbao embryos themselves had such "low" requirements for materials.
Of course, Xin Yu's responsibility is only to mislead these material experts, at most, he did not take into account the difficulty of researching the treasures...... Although the vast majority of the astrological forces in the astral world sent hundreds of thousands of tons of various heavenly and earthly treasure materials, Xin Yu generously allocated some low-level treasure materials with relatively large quantities and relatively low value, so that the material experts could "toss" casually.
It's a pity that the Heavenly Treasure, even the lowest-level Heavenly Treasure, has its own energy field, which will repel all kinds of destruction. "Pickling", "alkaline water immersion", "observation after grinding", these common methods of studying ordinary materials, are not suitable for these aspects at all.
Even corrosive acids such as aqua regia, magic acid, fluoroantimonic acid, etc., are impossible to destroy the slightest trace of heaven and earth. As for alkaline water immersion, it is the same as pickling, compared to ordinary alkaline water, even the most corrosive cesium hydroxide solution, it is impossible to destroy the treasures of heaven and earth. As for grinding, perhaps machines such as grinding machines driven by steam power can indeed "rub" some debris from the surface of the natural treasure, but it is impossible for a little bit of debris to be used for research...... On the one hand, there is not enough microscope to observe the molecular composition, and on the other hand, it is not enough to distinguish specific materials and element proportions.
Speaking of which, Xin Yu had also thought about the difficulty of this aspect, but now that he urgently needed to restore his strength, he had no time to join in the artificial synthesis research of heavenly and earthly treasures, and naturally it was impossible to discover these specific problems.
Actually, to be able to use your own experience...... For example, the "local method" such as the olfactory perception method and the taste bud perception method to study the approximate material composition of the natural treasure is already an extremely remarkable thing. Without the perception ability of the sorcerer and the guidance of Xin Yu, there is nothing to find fault with the practices of these material experts.
However, those astral slaves didn't think so, first of all, they didn't complete the task assigned by Xin Yu, which was the most important thing...... Everything is based on achievements, and if you don't complete the task, any achievement is vain.
Second, they felt that these materials experts might have their own "specialties", which means that as materials researchers, their abilities are indeed excellent. However, the thinking of these ordinary people is too narrow.
If they don't know the characteristics of the Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures, it is because they have not practiced the astral arts, and they have urged the Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures in the same way. So, couldn't these material experts let this team of astral magicians collect all the data of the Heavenly Materials and Earth Treasures first?
In addition, these sorcerer slaves themselves are not engaged in material research, so naturally they do not know how to design experimental protocols for material research. However, if they don't understand, can't these material experts teach some basic principles?
It's a pity that whether it's because these astral magicians have become Xin Yu's slaves again, they have become a little "faceless", and they are not used to communicating with ordinary people on an equal footing, so they naturally can't put down their faces to "ask for advice" from those material experts.
It doesn't matter if it's because of those ordinary material experts, who have never worked with astromagicians. In addition, since childhood, the concept of a strong star magician has been transmitted, and at the same time, because Xin Yu, the top boss of the top boss, is also an star magician, so he is a little afraid of these new powerful people, so he does not dare to be too "good as a teacher".
As a result, there is such a situation, although the two sides are "cooperative" colleague relationships, but because of the lack of communication, one party only cares about coming up with a test plan according to its own experience, and the other party is "logical" and does not have any "objections" to test according to the design plan.
The result of this lack of communication is that the material experts obviously have a lot of experience in material research, and the astrologers obviously have sufficient perception and other special research abilities. However, the two sides could not complement each other's advantages, and such a "perfect combination" was wasted in vain.
Although Xin Yu had repeatedly explained to them that they were "working together" when he arranged these twelve astral slaves to the First Precision Foundry, it was a pity that for various reasons, they were not able to form a close research team, but took care of each other, like a plate of scattered sand, and worked hard for a month, doing hundreds of experiments, but still failed to successfully synthesize even a low-level Heavenly Treasure.
However, after a month passed, things took a turn for the better. Because after this month, Xin Yu went out of the customs once, and saw that the cooperation pattern between the two should be the whole was like a stranger, so he was naturally dissatisfied with their cooperation model, so they each played fifty boards and criticized it.
In fact, if Xin Yu joins the experiment, he should be able to produce some results quickly. It's a pity that Xin Yu's own cultivation has not yet been fully restored, although because of the method of macroscopic thinking, in this month's time, he has basically restored his spiritual power to the point of the early stage of the subtle realm, but in terms of "purity" and "strength", there is a big gap compared to before he was not overconsumed.
Therefore, Xin Yu simply did not have the time and energy to join in the research, and even if he wanted to, he would only be able to do so if his cultivation was fully restored...... And this time is a little difficult to grasp, maybe another month, maybe a year...... Anyway, there is no way for the time being.
However, Xin Yu's reprimand was not without effect. These material experts themselves are citizens of the maritime states...... Some also have knighthoods, and Xin Yu has absolute authority over them. The prince has spoken, and it is impossible to disobey this big man's order from the daytime down. And the sorcerer slave is Xin Yu's "private property", and he doesn't even have himself, so naturally it is impossible to go against the will of Xin Yu, the master.
Therefore, even though the two sides are still a little awkward when they are colleagues, after encountering problems, they gradually discuss each other more often.
This time, there has been a turning point in the research of natural treasures. First of all, the material experts have rich experience in scientific material research, as well as some knowledge of element proportioning taught by Xin Yu, which is "exquisite" that those astromagicians have never known before.
Secondly, no one who can become an astral magician is stupid, and how quickly the material experts impart knowledge, how fast they can learn. After understanding the basic theories and related elements and microscopic knowledge, it is easy for astrologers to have their own judgments.
Again, among the twelve astral sorcerer slaves, there are several sorcerers who have reached the subtle realm. Although in terms of thinking perception, it is impossible for an astrologist in the subtle realm to refine his thinking perception to the level of molecules and atoms, but for the "elemental composition" of the heavenly and earthly treasures themselves, they can obtain clearer and more definite results through the way of thinking perception and calibration than observing with a high-powered microscope.
In addition, these astrologists also have a special ability, that is, the ability to perform subtle operations. The Wizard of the Microstar is able to control the pure mechanical machinery without leaking a trace of his spiritual energy, and it is extremely stable.
Although it seems that controlling the melting furnace does not require a high stability feel, when refining the "Heaven and Earth Treasure", more stable control also means a higher probability of success. In addition, the strength of these astral magicians' own subtle manipulation also determines that they do not need to use the existing smelting furnace in the laboratory for experiments...... Because the smelting furnace itself is for industrial production, it usually starts with a test volume of about ten tons. Smaller experimental devices, however, were not equipped because of the level of finishing of the maritime countries on the one hand, and by the instability of micro-control and the inaccuracy of the results on the other.
However, for these microstar magicians, a smaller furnace means faster experimentation, higher efficiency, and more accurate results. Fortunately, the location of the laboratory is the first precision foundry, and it is not particularly difficult to study the miniaturization or miniaturization of the experimental furnace.
In addition, because these twelve astral sorcerers are all high-level astrologists who can exist in space for a long time, they have the ability to experiment in a vacuum.
In the absence of any material interference and gravity interference...... As for the weak field strength and radiation influence of various stars in space, they are basically negligible at the material level...... It is very simple to obtain an absolutely pure elemental substance.
Well, how to put it, there is no 100% pure substance in the world, even if it is made in space, there will be impurities that cannot be discharged. It's just that for astromagicians, especially astromagicians who can control matter in detail, it is very possible to purify matter to a state that is infinitely close to purity.
The characteristics of an absolutely pure elemental substance are absolutely different from that of a substance with impurities. For example, in the previous life, people infiltrated iron with other substances in various proportions, and various "steels" with excellent properties could be obtained. However, because the level of science and technology has not yet defied the sky, even if various experiments can be carried out in the sky, it is not possible to purify a certain substance to the point of 100%.
And what mysterious properties of absolutely pure iron, compared to other iron "alloys", are also unknown to mankind. In fact, if anyone knows that absolutely pure metals have superconducting properties, they will definitely increase their investment in this area...... Of course, that's a matter of another world, and it has nothing to do with here.
However, in the astral world, or in the artificial synthesis of Xingbao embryonic materials, absolutely pure substances are also useful, for example, special physical properties can have special properties...... This is very similar to heaven and earth, isn't it?
In fact, the treasures of heaven and earth are also made up of all kinds of absolutely pure or partially pure substances that collide and blend together to become substances with their own energy fields. Therefore, the idea of synthesizing natural treasures is not wishful thinking
