() Is Shen Yun confident about completing the test? Nonsense, of course not!
If he originally wanted to rely on his experience of passing the chemistry experiment with perfect scores in the past, he no longer gave up this hope. Just looking at the expression of the ol-style instructor Chris opposite, Shen Yun knew that he would be greeted soon. It's definitely not something as trivial as passing a bottle around.
It's just that as the saying goes, there's no need to be strong. Although Shen Yun is curious about alchemy, he doesn't want to get involved. So if he can spend a month here, it's good. If not, he won't force it. Anyway, he won't force it. The amount from the previous sale of the magic crystal was enough for Shen Yun's expenses for a period of time.
Looking at Shen Yun's calm expression, Kris was a little unsure whether this guy was confident or a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water. She said no more at the moment and passed Shen Yun in a single step, heading towards the laboratory first. The front door of the entrance. Seeing his mentor leaving, Huck quickly pulled Shen Yun, and the two of them followed him immediately.
Walking into the "Baozi Laboratory", Shen Yun was surprised to find that what appeared in front of him was not the hall he had imagined. What he saw was a passage that could accommodate five people walking side by side. The passage started from the door and extended to the line of sight. At the end of the passage, there is a spiral staircase leading to the second floor. On both sides of the passage, there are densely packed rooms. Judging from the intervals of different sizes between the doors, these rooms Obviously there are big ones and small ones. But now the doors are closed tightly, so Shen Yun can't see clearly.
"Take him to Laboratory No. 5." Chrissy did not lead the way for the two of them. Instead, she turned to tell Huck and walked straight to the stairs at the end of the passage.
Huck nodded and bowed in response, then pulled Shen Yun to the door of a room not far away. He took out his college crystal card and worked with it before leading Shen Yun in.
This is a small room, and the furnishings in the room are similar to what Shen Yun imagined. Although many of the equipment have not been seen before, Shen Yun still feels quite familiar with the bottles and jars. The floor and tables They were all wiped spotless, which was somewhat different from Shen Yun's imagination of a scientific madman's laboratory.
After following Huck into the house, Shen Yun casually wanted to close the door. Unexpectedly, with a push, the door, which looked no different from an ordinary door panel, only moved slightly, until Shen Yun frowned and increased his strength. It fit together with the door frame without making any sound.
"Hey, I'm surprised. This is made of anti-magic metal. And it's not just the door. It can be said that the floors and walls in the entire laboratory, except for the tables and chairs, are almost all made of anti-magic metal." Huck Turning around with a smile, he deliberately walked in front just to see Shen Yun's surprised look.
While leading Shen Yun towards the eye-catching experimental table in the room, Huck explained to Shen Yun: "Alchemists often cause elemental explosions when doing experiments. These anti-magic metals can very well prevent elemental explosions. Diffusion. Hey, these anti-magic metals are also the product of alchemy. Although they look very heavy, in fact, the physical defense is a mess, but they are very effective in resisting magic. Hey, if they are not so heavy, they can be used to make some anti-magic metals. The devil's inner armor..."
"What, the alchemist's experiments are easy to explode? Aren't you always in danger?" Shen Yun didn't pay attention to other things Huck said. Shen Yun's attention was completely attracted by the sentence "easy to explode."
Huck glanced at Shen Yun in a strange way, and then suddenly realized and slapped his head: "Oh, I forgot, Brother Yun, you don't know anything about alchemy." He scratched his cheek with his stubby fingers, Huck scratched his cheek. He organized his speech and said: "Brother Yun, do you know that alchemists also need to practice elemental power?"
Shen Yun nodded. Just in the morning, Hack also said that elemental power is the foundation of all professions, including non-combat professions such as alchemists.
"Elemental power has different effects on each profession. For us alchemists, the greatest use of elemental power is to provide assistance when necessary. For example, I want to make a Wind Whisper Crystal."
Having said this, Huck casually took a piece of first-order magic crystal on the experimental table and found an unknown piece of metal, intending to demonstrate it to Shen Yun on the spot. He first put the metal into a funnel-shaped device on the side and opened it. The funnel-shaped equipment gradually glowed with red light along with a slight buzzing sound. It was obviously already in operation. Huck took another test-tube-shaped object and stuck it in the small hole under the funnel. After a while, a few drops of water came out. The metallic luster liquid dripped down the bottom of the funnel into the test tube.
Carefully taking out the test tube, Fatty Huck held the magic crystal in his left hand, tilted the test tube slightly with his right hand, and carefully poured it down. When the metallic liquid slid down the tube wall and was about to contact the magic crystal, Huck's left palm turned white. The green light in the middle enveloped the entire magic crystal, and driven by the light, the falling liquid incredibly penetrated the barrier on the surface of the magic crystal and slid directly into the center of the magic crystal.
Carefully controlling the elemental power to adjust the shape of the metallic liquid, Huck no longer had his usual sense of humor. He could only see his eyes focused on the object in his hand, and his left hand holding the magic crystal was steady and powerful, serious. Shen Yun was somewhat affected by his appearance.
"Okay, that's it." Just when Shen Yun sighed secretly, Huck finally completed his work. He gently threw the magic crystal in his hand to Shen Yun. The fat man's expression was a little proud: "Just now I used the magic crystal with The same wind element builds a bridge, guiding the juice of prion iron to reach the center of the magic crystal without damaging its structure. This is an application of elemental power in alchemy."
Chen Yun took the magic crystal and put it in front of his eyes to look at it. He saw that the originally liquid metal had solidified into a hollow honeycomb-shaped metal piece and was quietly embedded in the center of the magic crystal. With a slight shake, a flute-like sound was heard. A pipe-like whimpering sound came from the magic crystal. No wonder it was called the Wind Whispering Crystal.
"Did you invent it?" Shen Yun suddenly said as he held the magic crystal and shook it gently.
"Of course, this is my first work on the road of alchemy." The fat man grinned with great pride.
Chen Yun nodded and asked calmly: "Besides pleasing children, what else does this thing do?"
Huck: "..."
Stretching out his big hand and grabbing the magic crystal, the fat man murmured a few words angrily, but had no words to refute Chen Yun's questions. His little eyes rolled around twice, and Huck decided to skip this, only to see his expression. Yi Zheng put on the face of a lecturer: "Ahem, let's not talk about it for now. What I just demonstrated to you is the main role of elemental power in alchemy. But besides this, there is actually another use, well, in In my personal opinion, this is a more important role than assisting alchemy..."
His right hand slapped his left hand with a crisp "snap" sound. Huck's expression was serious and solemn, as if he was about to announce something of a life-or-death nature:
"That's it, save your life!"
"Save your life?" Shen Yun seemed to have thought of something.
"That's right! It's just to save your life!" In just a moment, Huck, who was originally upright and solemn, changed into a sad face: "Brother Yun, alchemy is good at everything, but if you can't stand the experiment, it will explode easily! As an alchemist, if you can't release the corresponding response The elemental shield of the rank may have been blown up by my own experiment that day. Brother Yun, it’s not easy to be an alchemist... wuwu...!"
Looking at the fat man who suddenly went crazy and had tears streaming down his face, Shen Yun didn't know what to say at this time. He could only pat him on the shoulder with some sympathy to express comfort. After a while, Fatty Huck finally stopped. He was wailing, but his hands were still smeared on his face from time to time, looking very sad.
"Alchemy involves a lot of things, including all kinds of elements. Therefore, most excellent alchemists need to have at least 5 series of elemental powers, and high-level experiments must be completed by the cooperation of multiple people. Because of this, It is very difficult for an alchemist to improve his rank."
Shen Yun understood that it was really not easy for an alchemist as a technician to improve such complex elemental attributes. After thinking about it, Shen Yun asked again: "Then you just mentioned the corresponding level of elemental shields. What's going on?"
"Before we do an experiment every time, we will have an estimate of the destructive power of the experiment. The experiment will only be allowed to proceed if most people can survive the worst outcome. Of course, I have also heard that there are some fanaticism Some alchemists don't care about this at all, but most of these people don't live long." Huck shook his head repeatedly as he spoke, obviously disapproving of those alchemists who "wanted their skills rather than their lives."
Shen Yun agreed very much with this. Research is not something that happens overnight, and it is not easy to cultivate excellent alchemists. It is obviously not the right way to gamble on the chance of success.
"Hey, Brother Yun, let me tell you. My goal is to become a 12th-level magician in the future. By then, everyone will call me Master Hack!" The fat man patted his chest and his eyes shone, with that expression. Quite seriously.
"Well, then come on." My friend had a goal, and Shen Yun naturally wanted to encourage him, but he suddenly felt a little awkward: "Uh... why not level 13?"
"Level 13?!" Huck's voice suddenly increased, startling Shen Yun: "Brother Yun, I was just dreaming about reaching level 12. Level 13? There has never been level 13 in this world. The alchemist."
"Without level 13, it's impossible? Are there any professions that can't reach level 13?" Shen Yun didn't believe it.
Huck shook his head with a hint of helplessness on his face: "The reason why the element level I told you before is not going up is one of the reasons. In addition, our alchemists' estimated level for the experiment is generally higher than the experiment itself. That is to say , you were originally doing a 10th-level experiment. If it exploded, it would probably reach an 11th or even 12th-level explosion power. This was caused by the out-of-control elements. Then Brother Yun, when a 13th-level alchemist is synthesizing a 13th-level When an object explodes, where can he find a 15th-level shield to withstand an explosion that is likely to be far more powerful than 13th-level explosions? There is no way he will lose a legendary item in just one experiment."
"Uh..." Shen Yun was speechless. Indeed, in the face of this danger of overstepping the level, there will indeed be the embarrassment of being unable to resist.
