Just as Sha Duo expected, Prince Aben did not refuse his offer of a thousand arcane crystals in exchange for two cheap energy-guiding material preparation methods.

Now that the details of the transaction have been negotiated, the subsequent transaction itself is very simple. Just pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other.

Considering that he had stayed in Inupras for more than ten days, which was in line with the time for raising arcane crystallization mentioned to the other party before, Shado did not make any installment payments, but provided one hundred thousand arcana in one go. Can crystallize.

What the other party provided was the preparation methods of two cheap energy-conducting materials, numbered 1402 and 598, as well as almost one-tenth of a cubic meter of 208-type spiritual material (100,000 arcane crystals is almost 0.1 cubic meters).

To be honest, Shado was really satisfied with this deal. If the people in Netheril knew that Imasca had such cheap ectoplasmic materials, they would probably go crazy with joy.

Xia Duo still remembers the original price of buying the twisted phantom core. One piece is 100,000 gold coins. The volume is not much larger than the arcane crystal. The only advantage is that it can be divided into the smallest units.

The ectoplasm material numbered 208 cannot be separated. In other words, this material is only similar to ectoplasm in nature, and is still different from the real ectoplasm.

But it can also be used to make a brain, which Sha Duo has already verified. As for the tower spirit of the mage tower, Sha Duo hasn't tried it yet, so he can't say for sure, but he feels that the brain and the tower spirit are not essentially the same. The difference should be possible.

Taking a step back, even if it cannot be used to make a tower spirit, it is enough to make a brain. Xia Duo now wants to know what will happen when the brain expands infinitely.

Really infinite deduction?

Maybe not, but it will definitely be much more useful than the current smart brain!

…

After the transaction was completed, Shado originally wanted to set off immediately to chase Percher's magic ship. Of course, this was not his real purpose. His relationship with Cormanso was not as good as it seemed to outsiders. His real purpose was actually to experience it. The teleportation center of the Purple Star Tower.

However, Prince Aben kindly persuaded him to stay, and there was news from Guleben that the origin of Meow had been found, and his subordinates were rushing back with a large number of Meow and related Mulan people. .

So, Shado stayed in Inuplas for a few more days. Of course, for him now, it didn't matter where he was, the floating city was right beside him.

In fact, he spent far more time in the floating city than outside in the past few days.

…

Time acceleration zone.

While Sha Duo was making the brain, he was thinking about the preparation methods of the two cheap energy-conducting materials that he had traded. It was almost exactly the same as he expected. What Imasca provided was not a method for mass production of secret weapons, but a method for mass production of secret weapons. It is a purely manual production method by craftsmen without the assistance of secret weapons that control the power of creation.

What's even more annoying is that both materials are composite materials with a lot of matrix, including mithril!

He roughly estimated that if it were made by hand, even if the success rate was 100%, the cost would be several times that of the same quality mithril. Only mass production with secret weapons could lower the price.

But the problem is that Imasca is very secretive about the secret weapon making method. Sha Duo asked Prince Aben several times, but he declined on the grounds that it was not suitable for beginners or it was a national secret.

If he hadn't found a new direction in the creation mystery, he would have even wanted to make a deal before leaving. A formal deal wouldn't work, but a crooked way might not work.

In addition, from the matrix material analysis mentioned in the known creation formulas of the two energy-conducting materials, Shado speculated that Imasca definitely mastered the higher-level creation principles.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to develop such a precise material ratio as No. 1402 in a few days!

There must be some kind of guiding principle, which matrix should be chosen if energy-conducting properties are needed, similar to the combination of monarchs, ministers, and envoys in the ancient pharmacopoeia of Xia Duo's hometown.

Without this kind of general direction guidance, there are thousands of materials in the world and almost endless methods of creation. It would not be surprising at all to have no results within a few days, let alone a few years.

As soon as he returned to the Floating City, Shado tried to use the power of creation to prepare these two materials. Although the matrix contained mithril, it was not scarce and was available in the Tower of Time warehouse.

However, without the assistance of relevant secret weapons, it is almost impossible to control the precise effects of the power of creation. Xia Duo tried more than ten times but failed. In the end, he had to admit that even if the formula of creation was placed in front of him, he could not even verify it. Neither true nor false can be done!

So we can only look forward to the performance of Creation Mystery Lock after it is completed.

He is now working overtime to make the Intelligent Brain, which also has this consideration in mind. The Intelligent Brain is to imitate Xia Duo's own thinking mode. On the way to wisdom, the upper limit is only so high, but the calculation speed can be improved almost infinitely.

This is also the meaning of expansion.

If a purely computational problem does not require experiments and the result can be obtained immediately by just thinking about it, it will undoubtedly save the user a lot of time.

Xia Duo is not a god. He cannot get results by just looking at the data. He even thinks that a god may not be able to do it, because some complex problems cannot be calculated by simple calculations and require the cooperation of relevant algorithms.

But in any case, the expansion of Zhi Nao is already on the Sunshine Avenue.

…

One day after the outside world, Sha Duo received the news that Guleben asked for an audience. He immediately put down his work, walked out of the floating city, and came to Inupras.

It was still outside the temporary residence, but this time Guleben brought a group of people over. Xia Duo saw that there were dozens of bald heads with sad expressions among them. With such obvious features, they were obviously Mulan people.

In addition, in the distance, there is a metal cage that is larger than the previous one. It may not be covered with a black cloth because it is too big. The cat inside keeps meowing, miserable and sad, frightened and sad.

Sha Duo frowned, bypassed Guleben who was saluting him, walked to the metal cage first, and sent the cage and the cat inside to the floating city.

He didn't count them in detail, but he estimated that there were about a hundred or so. Among them, only one-tenth were pure black. Most of them had black and white spots on their bodies, and there were very few in other colors. Among them, Xia Duo The orange cats I want to see the most, at first glance, there are only one or two.

Seeing that Sha Duo had made the cage disappear, Guleben came to Sha Duo again and explained everything in front of him: "My people tracked the Mulan settlement near the southern mountains, and we can determine the vicinity of Inupras." All the pure black meows come from there.”

"Then those people you brought back are-"

"They are the ones responsible for nurturing Meow in that settlement. I thought Master Athos might need them and ordered someone to bring them back." Guleben answered solemnly.
