Scientific Cultivation Of Immortals, Mechanical Ascension

Green Bamboo Peak in the middle of the night, inside Immortal Cave.

The smelting furnace powered by Spiritual Qi was burning hot, and a piece of refined iron ingot was melted within a few breaths, and finally pulled into a bright red iron embryo.

Su Yun took out a hammer and combined it with Spirit Power to hammer the iron embryo into a sword shape.

This is the most difficult and time-consuming step in refining, and it is also an extremely important step. When hammering, a large amount of Spirit Power is required to temper refined iron into spiritual Magical Item embryos.

But Su Yun Cultivation Base is low-level, and needs to meditate every few hours to restore Spirit Power, so that this step takes more than a day.

In the middle of the night, because Su Yun forgot to add oil to the lamp, the inside of Immortal Cave suddenly went dark, leaving only the dark red light of the furnace.

He rummaged through the universe bag for a while, and took out a fluorite. This kind of ore only needs to be injected with Spirit Power to emit dazzling light. The Spirit Power consumed during use is almost negligible, but it is also a drag to release a small amount of Spirit Power, so it is not used for daily use. illumination. I only heard that some gentry of aristocratic families let their attendants hold fluorite as human lamp holders.

But for Su Yun, this is not a problem at all. He took out the prepared spiritual core, and simply sketched some Spiritual Qi veins on the fluorite, embedded the spiritual core, adjusted the output of Spiritual Qi, and the fluorite instantly lit up by itself. stand up.

Xiu Immortal World's first Spiritual Qi "light bulb" was born!

The lighting was restored in the Immortal Cave, and Su Yun worked hard to complete the engraving of the pattern in one night, and a brand-new factory-made Flying Sword was completed.

The standard Flying Sword is unremarkable in any respect, but Su Yun's painstaking efforts have been poured into it, and he is quite proud of it.

This is the first Magical Item refined by Su Yun as a traveler. Although he has detailed knowledge of refining in his memory, he still needs to do it himself to grasp its essence.

And combined with the scientific knowledge from the previous life, there are actually many things that can be improved in the refining process.

The most time-consuming part of tempering the sword embryo is actually adjusting the breath to restore Spirit Power, which took up most of the time. It would not be cost-effective to use the Medicine Pill to restore Spiritual Qi. After much deliberation, Su Yun decided to use the spirit core as the refining Spiritual Qi source.

And instead of manpower, an automatic hammering lathe could be made, not only faster, but also free up time for other things.

There are ready-made mechanical parts in Immortal Cave's debris pile, and they were made by Su Yun before to make rice cakes for Li Su, but they were useless.

Just do it, Su Yun spent half a day drawing the blueprint, and another half day making the parts, installing and debugging.

Completed the first simple lathe repair of Immortal World.

It is said to be a lathe, but in fact there are only the base, the machine table and the stamping components on the top.

Boulders are pressed against the base to counteract vibrations. The machine in the middle is used to fix the sword embryo. It is equipped with a fine gear structure. It can move the position of the sword embryo in both horizontal and vertical directions. The moving speed can be controlled by replacing the number of teeth of the gear, and the sword embryo can also be turned over at a specific position. , to forge the desired shape of the blade.

The hammer head connected by the iron arm on the top is the core of the machine.

Different from the hydraulic hammer head, the power of this machine hammer head comes from Feiyun stone.

Feiyun Stone is a natural Spiritual Qi ore, the crystal is in the shape of a hexagonal pyramid, and it can fly in the direction of the pointed head just by inputting Spirit Power, which is extremely powerful. So much so that repairing Immortal World can see the wonders of mountains hanging naturally in the air. It is all because the mountain rocks are rich in Feiyun stone deposits, which coincides with the abundance of Spiritual Qi here, which is enough to support Feiyun stone to lift the weighty mountain.

Feiyun stones are also needed to build some large flying boats, but the small Flying Sword does not need Feiyun stones, the floating pattern is enough.

Moreover, the Feiyun stone is expensive, and Su Yun only has a small piece at hand, so the pressure to drive the hammer is not great. The excess power is recycled into the mainspring to drive the gears and adjust the position of the sword embryo, truly fully automatic.

The energy of the entire lathe naturally comes from the spiritual core, and the hammer head also has the function of injecting Spiritual Qi into the sword embryo.

But now there is only one spiritual core, so Su Yun had to buckle the spiritual core off the fluorite bulb and put it into the lathe.

Pull out the sword embryo in the furnace, fix it on the lathe, turn on the switch, the lathe starts to forge the sword embryo as designed by Su Yun, and the sound of collision resounds throughout the Immortal Cave.

"The industrial revolution of repairing the Immortal World has already taken its first step!"

After two days of fighting all night, Su Yun was inevitably a little tired, but he only took a bigu pill and started the next step.

After all, I was used to it in the previous life...

Next, Su Yun dug out all his Qiankun bags, and got ready to clean up the family property.

As a result, only seven and a half pieces of Spirit Stones of different colors and some miscellaneous ores were found. As for refined iron and brass, they are not worth much.

In the end, Su Yun decided to refine five more spirit cores and keep two Spirit Stones as spares, and he didn't know what to do with the half low-grade Spirit Stones.

Although the spirit core is small, the difficulty of refining is much higher than that of low-grade spirit weapons. It has been three days since five spirit cores were refined, and the sword embryos that have been tempered already have eight handles. The speed of the lathe is faster than Su Yun expected. Even better!

Now it's time to proceed to the next step in Flying Sword refining - engraving.

This is the key to refining. A tempered sword embryo has only its shape, but no soul.

It is necessary to design the weapon pattern according to the attributes of each person's Spiritual Roots. Water, fire, wood, metal, earth, and even the upgraded Spiritual Roots, wind, fire, and thunder have their own corresponding pattern.

Su Yun is familiar with all kinds of primary patterns, and he is also good at matching them. It doesn't take much time to design the patterns. In the final analysis, the device pattern is similar to the printed circuit board or integrated circuit in the previous life, the difference is that one is a Spiritual Qi circuit, and the other is a current circuit, which is Su Yun's old profession.

What is time-consuming is the engraving process. The higher the material, the more difficult it is to engrave.

In the method of refining weapons that has been passed down in the Immortal World, the refining masters generally use carving knives to manually engrave the patterns on the weapons, and the high rank refining masters with high strength will condense the Divine Sense, using the divine sense as the knife, and engrave the patterns on the weapons.

But in principle, both are small workshop-style manual operations.

Su Yun thought about still using stamping instead of manual carving with a carving knife. Make the master plate of the pattern, and use a punching machine to emboss the pattern on the master plate on the sword body.

But after careful consideration, this plan was rejected by Su Yun.

One is that the pattern of the utensil is so small that the imprinting accuracy is far from enough, and the other is that the forged refined iron sword embryo is so tough that it is difficult to be imprinted successfully.

Su Yun then thought of etching the texture with a chemical agent, but it was also rejected because of the accuracy problem.

Su Yun, who was pacing back and forth in the Immortal Cave, suddenly caught a glimpse of the light above his head, which was a fluorite bulb that had been reinstalled with a spiritual core.

After pondering for a while, Su Yun had a flash of inspiration and shouted out excitedly, "God said, let there be light! You can use light to engrave!"

This is undoubtedly a crazy idea.

In the previous life, the lithography machine was the pinnacle product of human wisdom, the mother of chips, with an industrial chain all over the world, making it extremely difficult to manufacture.

However, if you just borrow its principles, it doesn't seem difficult to make a low-end imitation, and there are Immortal World methods to support it.

The structure of the simplified lithography machine is actually very simple, only light source, reflector, photomask and lens are needed. The only difficulty is precision control, but in Immortal World, this is not a problem for a cultivator with Divine Sense.

The working principle is to draw an enlarged version of the chip design pattern on the photomask in advance, illuminate it with a light source, and the light can project the pattern through the photomask, and then use a lens to focus the light to scale the pattern proportionally , projected onto the silicon wafer covered with photoresist, and the design pattern of the chip can be left after the photoresist is exposed to light.

Engraving device patterns with a lithography machine is different from producing chips. When producing chips, a lithography machine is used to project patterns, and sensitizing the photoresist is only one step in the production process, followed by a series of troublesome operations such as etching and ion implantation.

However, using a lithography machine to engrave the device pattern only requires great efforts to ablate the excess part of the sword embryo directly with strong light, and the remaining gully is filled with air-conducting material to form the device pattern.

After sorting out the technology route, Su Yun immediately began to draw the blueprints, and it was another night of hard work.

Optical path design, determination of mirror and lens curvature, selection of photomask material and thickness, all can be done.

The only thing that remains undecided is the choice of light source.

Different from the light source of lighting, the light source of the lithography machine must have sufficient energy density, and what needs to be lithography is not the chip, but the refined iron that needs to be able to burn, vaporize and forge.

It seems that the only thing that meets the requirements is the laser, but Su Yun has not been able to manufacture the laser for the time being when he is repairing Immortal World.

Perhaps the only choice is Blazing Crystal.

Fiery Crystals are often used to create one-time attack Magical Items, simply because they burst with a searing, fiery light. However, the range of action is limited, and most of the time the actual effect is similar to that of a flash bomb.

But for lithography machines, the optical path is very short, and there is a converging effect of mirrors and lenses, and vaporized refined iron should be able to do it.

It just so happens that Su Yun still has a large stock of Blazing Crystals.

Then, it took another five days for Su Yun to build the photolithography machine, the most tedious part of which was grinding the lens.

Large pieces of transparent crystals are not scarce, but grinding them into lenses can only be done with extreme effort, not opportunism, and even a little damage and distortion will fail.

If it weren't for the help of divine thoughts, Su Yun would not have believed that he could complete the feat of grinding the lens by hand.

At the same time, the sword embryos of the nineteen-standard Flying Sword were also tempered, fully consuming the Spirit Power of the three low-grade Spirit Stones.

The spiritual core that was used up was carefully placed by Su Yun in the abundant and safe place of Spiritual Qi in the world.

Because he was pleasantly surprised to find that the spiritual core can absorb the spiritual Qi of the world on its own. Although the speed is a bit slow, but given time, there will always be a day when it will return to fullness.
