Heavenly Dao Formula

Jinxia City, in Fengyang Villa.

In the past few days, Mo Yun went to the Privy Council whenever he was free, to discuss the new design with Xia Fan. At night, he turned on the lamp and read at night, almost staying up all night.

Ning Wanjun was really worried about the other party's state, and because there were so many people in the Privy Council, she simply let Xia Fan live in the villa temporarily to satisfy Mo Yun's thirst for knowledge.

Xia Fan also readily agreed, firstly, the mansion really lacks a test site, and secondly, he is also very interested in the gadgets researched by the Ministry of Industry.

After a few days, he has played with the "power source" brought by Mo Yun.

In the technical terminology of the Ministry of Industry, these things are collectively called the astronomical instrument.

This reminded Xia Fan of another world's seismograph.

But these things have nothing to do with earthquakes. Its essence is a magical creation that converts Qi into kinetic energy.

After obtaining Mo Yun's consent, he also personally dismantled a celestial motion instrument, which is considered to have a comprehensive understanding of its structure and principles.

In fact, this thing is frighteningly simple—for example, the astronomical instrument that drives the pocket mechanism beast is only the size of a Rubik's cube, and its shape is exactly like a Rubik's cube, in the shape of a standard cube.

Its body is cut from wood, divided into upper and lower blocks, the interior is hollowed out, and a bronze ball with a handle is inserted. The outermost layer is a bronze shell and buckles, which can not only fix the two pieces of wood together, but also reduce the wear and tear on its vulnerable parts.

Just looking at this thing, there is no mystery at all, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the word power source, but after engraving circles of symbols on the surface of the wooden block, it has an incredible characteristic-sensing and rotating.

This technique belongs to Kun, named Xingxuan.

Xia Fan asked Li, but Li said that he had never heard of a similar technique.

He even took the time to carve a wooden Rubik's Cube himself, but it turned out that what he made didn't move at all.

In the end, Xia Fan had no choice but to ask Mo Yun himself for advice.

After the latter was silent for a while, he still answered his question in detail.

"This technique was created by me, but it's not all due to me."

Xia Fan was extremely surprised by what the other party said.

It was the first time he saw the birth of a new technique.

"How to say?"

"It originated from the Tiantian technique in Kunshu, and I improved it. The inspiration came from the rotating stars in the sky." Mo Yun explained with pride hidden in his tone, "It can succeed, half of the credit comes from For maesters who watch the stars—our world is turning all the time."

Xia Fan had seen the Heaven-fixing technique in the basic kunshu book, but it was just a path-finding technique that always pointed to a specific star.

"Does the circle symbol engraved on it refer to the orbit of the stars?"

"You also know this?" Mo Yun stared at him for a long time, and finally laughed at himself, "So you really know a little bit about everything."

"It's that simple?" Xia Fan still couldn't believe it.

"Otherwise?" Mo Yun asked back, "Do you think I will take other people's achievements as my own?"

"You misunderstood, I didn't mean that. I just didn't expect that the emergence of new techniques is not so complicated..."

"Of course, if you don't care about the degree of difference, new techniques are born almost every day. After all, the difference between people determines the degree of differentiation of alchemy." Mo Yun paused, "It's just that few people submit it to the Privy Council. "

I see.

Xia Fan realized his misunderstanding.

He originally thought that a new spell must emerge from scratch, but the fact is that most of them are based on various basic spells. Putting a personal stamp on alchemy is actually an "invention".

In other words, the change in the streamer technique he felt during the electromagnetic experiment had already invented a brand new shock technique.

At least by Mo Yun's standards.

It's just that he hasn't named it yet.

"Then why are the blocks I carved useless?"

Mo Yun gave Xia Fan a disgusted look. She found that this person's knowledge is indeed very wide, but he is not very proficient in his own profession. "I heard His Highness said that your heart is shocking, right? You are good at shocking skills." People, if you want to carve out the magic weapon of Kun for the first time, don't you think too highly of yourself?"

"So can this thing succeed or pick people?"

"Of course, the so-called art industry has specialization." The other party took it for granted.

"Then your mind—"

"It belongs to Kun."

Well, since this technique was invented by the other party, he should have expected this answer a long time ago.

Combined with the research in the past month, Xia Fan is more and more inclined to the projection of consciousness, and Mo Yun's answer seems to confirm this point - even if it is two pieces of rune wood with almost the same difference, made by different people, The effect can also be quite different. This means that the standardization of alchemy is invalid, or in other words, if the difference in consciousness cannot be taken into account, standardization is nothing but a castle in the air.

However, considering the production level of this era, it is not unacceptable to have differences. What's more, this guess means that there will be infinite possibilities for individual diversity from another perspective.

"By the way, who invented the basic alchemy recorded by the Privy Council?" Xia Fan thought of another question.

"This..." Mo Yun was stunned for a moment, "It's probably the same as words. It was created, summarized, and evolved by people for thousands of years. Alright, don't think about those things that are there, come and try. I just made this part."

She finally finished the carpentry job at hand.

It was a leg brace fixed to the ground.

Xia Fan had to admit that Mo Yun was amazing in her own job. In just a few days, she turned the new plan into a tangible thing.

Although it is entirely made of wood, it looks like it at first glance—the height of the bracket is about 1.5 meters*, and there are two joints, and the astronomical instrument is directly connected to the rotating shaft. The joints are connected by a wooden frame, and the space enclosed is enough to fit a human leg. The most eye-catching place is its base—a herringbone-shaped forked claw nearly half a meter long, which is used to ensure stability when it lands.

"Shall I come first?"

"Of course, after all, you came up with this idea."

Xia Fan was naturally willing to help. Since there is only one leg support and it is 30 centimeters above the ground, he had to step on a chair with his other foot to maintain his balance.

Mo Yun tied the belt for him, "There is a celestial sphere on your leg and hip, try to inject Qi into it - you should be able to control the direction of its rotation."

In fact, not only the direction, but also the strength and speed can be controlled through the change of qi. This point has been verified by him in the mechanism beast.

Xia Fan held his breath and introduced Qi into the two astronomical instruments at the same time.

The bracket suddenly made a cracking sound.

"Stop stop, the steering is wrong!" Mo Yun shouted quickly, "One should go forward and the other should go backward!"

Xia Fan quickly stopped and readjusted his breathing.

The process wasn't easy to get used to, and it took him many tries before the brace made the right move for the first time.

In an instant, he felt that his feet were directly pushed up by a force, as if the ground had suddenly risen. The huge wooden support did not bring the slightest sense of weight, and standing on it, he seemed as light as a swallow.

*Explain the problem of units here:) If it is from the perspective of the protagonist (Xia Fan), he will be accustomed to use modern units to measure, while others use ancient units to express.
