Studying Science in the Alternate World

Although people become stronger, their hair is still lush.

Brown-black hair slightly and naturally curly, parted to both sides at an angle of 30-70, matched with handsome features and fair face, it has both the vigor of a teenager and the free and easy of an adult.

Arcane mage robes are not often worn, Duke prefers to wear hand-cut frocks.

In those factories with billowing black smoke, workers also wore work clothes, hard work clothes made of rough linen.

The overalls on Duke's body have a satin-like texture, which is woven from the finest fire silk.

It not only has the straight and tough effect of tooling, but also has the loose, breathable and soft skin-friendly effect of cotton clothes. It is the top material.

Wearing this kind of fire silk work clothes is very comfortable no matter in spring, autumn, cold or heat.

"Sir, the ten newly recruited spiritual apprentices have joined the research team. According to your instructions, four sets of experiments will be started at the same time." Mu Lali came to the office to report.

After learning how to make cards, Duke's heart became wild, and he didn't think much of the topic in the tower.

So I plan to end the subject in my hand as soon as possible, and then apply for a new subject from the Penrose tutor.

"Is the spell model in the steady state ring still enough?"

"It doesn't seem to be enough."

"Yeah." Duke went to the laboratory on the fifth floor.

I have been busy for a while, drawing and engraving two spell models of the Mage's Hand and the Arcane Shield for all the steady-state rings for use by the research team.

"Drass, you are my deputy now, and you have to take care of the progress of the experiments of the four groups."

"Please rest assured, my lord." Dellas respectfully replied.

Duke turned around, saw that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, and he didn't need to intervene, so he left the laboratory.

All experimental data is sent to his office every morning.

He would read it carefully, give it to Xiaoyi to summarize it into a part of the thesis, and then use a typewriter to type this part out, and when the project is over, he will summarize it into a paper thesis.

"Such papers are 'coolies', without any technical content."

Put the newly typed paper into the drawer. Duke was just about to read today's newspapers and periodicals when Mu Lali knocked on the door again.

"Sir, boss James is here."

"Ask him to come here."

After a while, the potbellied James walked into the office and said happily, "My lord, the farm is ready."

Duke-James Farm purchased 1,500 acres of land near the Penrose Master's Tower and transformed it into a greenhouse. The business scope is succulents and mushrooms.

"Really, Yulu has been planted?"

"This season coincides with the vigorous growth period of Yulu. I have purchased a large amount of mature Yulu and handed it over to my workers to divide the plants. At the same time, supplemented by cuttings and leaf cuttings, the 500-acre greenhouse will be covered as soon as possible." James said.

Duke nodded: "Okay, I'll take you to move Ji Yulu."

The 2-ring elf Ben Lingzhi-Ji Yulu can infect the same kind of plants, and the infected area is basically 500 mu of land.

After speaking to Assistant Vikas, Duke asked for leave to leave the Mage Tower.

Instead of returning to the villa, I went directly to the Duke-James Farm, which is very close and can be reached here in a short while.

"This place is a bit far from the urban area, even more remote than the suburbs, so I set up a spirit pressure net outside the farm." James introduced, "There are a lot of spirit beasts around here, and the patrolling knights in the city check regularly , but it will never be destroyed.”

Spirit beasts are like weeds, they can't be burned up and blown back to life again.

Human beings can only ensure the absolute safety of cities, market towns, and air routes, and the outside of the city is still the habitat of spirit beasts.

Of course, in the entire Heijiaohe area, the spirit beasts above the third ring were basically plowed by the arcanists. And every few years, people will be organized to plow again to ensure that powerful spirit beasts will not be brewed in these areas.

As for the weak spirit beasts, they are considered to be grazing in the outskirts, and there will be mercenary groups going in every day to harvest them.

"In your name, sponsor a mercenary group and let them hunt around the farm." Duke directly ordered.

Ji Yulu will be placed in the farm to continuously infect the same plants.

In order to ensure Ji Yulu's safety, it is necessary to sponsor a mercenary regiment, and Duke does not want Ji Yulu to suffer any damage.

Even though the chick has been separated from Ji Yulu, that is always its root. Once Ji Yulu is damaged, it will have a negative impact on the chick—it won’t live and die at the same time, but without Ji Yulu, the chick will never have anything. Chance to evolve into a great elf.

"Sponsoring a large mercenary regiment?" James asked, "I have a small regiment under my command, which is placed in Snakehead Town."

According to the level of hunting spirit beasts, the mercenary group can be divided into three classes.

A small group can hunt 1 ring spirit beast; a medium-sized group can hunt 2 ring spirit beasts; a large group can hunt 3 ring spirit beasts.

The Broken Sword mercenary regiment sponsored by Duke is a medium-sized regiment.

"Sponsoring a medium-sized regiment, it doesn't matter if it's expensive. Ensuring Ji Yulu's safety is the most important thing." Duke has no idea of ​​saving money.

As for large regiments, they seldom move around the city, and basically go to open up the frontier of the war.

Of course, among the mercenary regiments, there are also super-large regiments that can hunt spirit beasts with 4th ring and above. These super-large mercenary regiments are basically assisted by arcane masters secretly, and they will even be active throughout the Seven Towers Federation, looking for special prey.

"I will contact a medium-sized group as soon as possible. However, my status is a little low. When signing the contract, I would like to invite you to come forward."

"Well, let me know when the time comes."

While speaking, the car drove directly along the gravel road to the center of the 500-acre shed. After parking, James led it into one of the sheds.

There is nothing visible on the outside of this greenhouse, but inside it is supported by a metal frame, and there is a fine metal mesh between the frames.

"This is a customized spirit gold frame and spirit gold gauze that cost a lot of money. What you see, sir, is only the exposed part on the ground. There is also a frame and gauze underground to ensure the safety of the entire greenhouse." James patted the frame, The shed remained motionless.

Going forward, there is a huge metal cage in the center of the shed.

James took out the key and opened the cage door: "This is also an all-round spirit gold cage. Even the spirit beasts with two rings can't bite. Ji Yulu is planted inside, which is absolutely safe."

"Not bad." Duke expressed satisfaction with James' preparation.

This set of defense system is enough to ensure that the spirit beast cannot pose a threat to Ji Yulu and can grow here safely.

Waved to let nobody wait out, Duke only left James.

Then he patted his belly, and the chick came out quickly, looking curiously at the shed made by Lingjin: "Where is this, Duke?"

"What do you think of Ji Yulu's new home?"

"Not much." Chick pouted, "If you plant Ji Yulu here, there will only be mysterious vines in the sea of ​​Qi."

"It must be planted." Duke touched the chicken's head, the texture was as warm and moist as jade, "If you want to evolve into a great elf, it is definitely not enough to eat some spirit crystals and rub some spiritual seeds by yourself. Ji Yulu feeds each other back."

"Yes, Mr. Chick." James nodded in agreement, "Master Duke is right, Ji Yulu must use the Infection Spirit Plant to establish a large-scale breathing resonance in order to continuously refine the power of nature and strengthen her own spirituality." .”

The little chicken rolled her eyes: "Fatty, who are you, do you have a place to interrupt here!"

"Chicken, apologize to Boss James, haven't I taught you manners?" Duke scolded.

James was not angry at all, he waved his hands again and again, with a smile on his face: "No need, Mr. Duke, Mr. Chick is so genuine, it's too late for me to like it! It's so beautiful, Mr. Chick is so beautiful, it's just a natural thing. The incarnation of power!"

"Ouch!" Chick pretended to be retching, "I have goosebumps all over my body, Duke, hurry up, beat this pervert to death!"

A bad mouth, a pervert.

The corner of Duke's mouth twitched, he stopped Xiaoji and James from arguing, and said solemnly: "Everyone is quiet, I'm going to plant Ji Yulu."

The mind communicates with the sea of ​​air.

The power of spirituality quickly locked onto Ji Yulu on the Qihai cloud, and then relying on ideas to drive, project a target in the real world.

In the next second, Ji Yulu appeared at the place he chose—on the dirt in the cage.

"It's amazing!" Boss James was deeply amazed, but his movements were not slow at all. He bent down and planted Ji Yulu carefully.

The little chicken was inexplicably sad: "My Ji Yulu, Duke, are you really willing to let this fat man take care of you?"

"He's the boss of James, please be polite...I work at the nearby Penrose Mage Tower, and I come here once a day to cast spells for Ji Yulu." Duke is not only to appease the chick, but also to promote Ji Yulu's infection effect .

He is a level 2 elf envoy, and the effect of using the breathing method is better, which may greatly shorten the time for Ji Yulu to infect the same plant.

James said happily: "With your help from time to time, our farm is definitely thriving!"

...

After Ji Yulu was planted, Duke would come to the farm during his lunch break and ask Xiaoyi to hang up the "Yuluo Breathing Method" for a while to promote the growth of Ji Yulu.

At other times, work as usual.

Before you know it, time has entered March, and the project team of "Analysis of Modeling Effects of Different Spiritual Materials Collected from the New Spiritual Beasts in the Opening War of Cuihai Valley" quickly entered the end of the experiment after expanding the number of spiritual apprentices.

Twenty-eight kinds of spirit beasts unique to Cuihai Valley, all the spirit materials that can be collected from the body, all extract the power of spirit, mix them into two kinds of spell models, and conduct a detailed comparison.

By March 7th, the experiment was confirmed to be complete.

"Thank you for your efforts. Tonight I will treat you to dinner. Everyone will enjoy delicious food in the Venus restaurant in the castle." Duke decided to reward the group members with a meal.

In this regard, Mu Lali arranged for him on his behalf, and Duke didn't even need to be there in person.

After the experiment was over, he took the last part of the data to the office, flipped through them page by page, and handed them over to Xiaoyi for analysis and conclusion.

Then began printing on the typewriter, printing the thesis in ink.

Bound into a book.

Take the spiritual ladder upstairs, go to the office of the assistant Vikas, and knock on the door.

"Your Excellency Duke, please come in." Vikas' assistant opened the door.

Holding a thick stack of papers, Duke walked to the desk of Assistant Vikas: "After half a year, I finally completed the project you gave me."

"Already sorted out?" Assistant Vikas was surprised, "Didn't you just finish the experiment today, the paper is so fast?"

"The experiment is very simple, and the data is not difficult. I followed the previous paper format and wrote it very quickly."

"Indeed, the content of this thesis is quite solid and detailed..." Director Vikas briefly flipped through it, "The topics in the tower are like this. Many topics are the lowest level of data collection. It is not difficult, but it takes a lot of time. long."

Duke followed up: "No challenge."

"Haha, most of the research we do is not challenging, but often as long as we encounter one or two challenging research, maybe we can get a scholar title." Assistant Vikas said, shaking regretfully At the beginning, "Unfortunately, we arcane masters have stayed in the mage tower for so long and have not successfully challenged once."

He sighed again: "In the field of card making, every challenge is too difficult."

"Is there any new subject suitable for me?"

"Don't worry, I'll go back and look for it for you. I have a lot of topics inside and outside the tower. The instructor has told you to familiarize yourself with the field of card making, so the topics still have to be the most basic types. There won't be any problems." The challenge you expect."

"It's okay. I'm a beginner. If you give me a challenging subject, I can't do it." Duke smiled.

He never thought that he would learn to run now, learn to walk first, and then run when he is stable.

"Oh, by the way, do you have a backup of this paper?"

"There is one more."

"Not enough, you can find a spiritual apprentice and make another copy. I will keep one and send one to the mentor. You also need one."

"what do you mean?"

"Isn't it a loss to write a paper on a topic, and it is difficult to publish such a lengthy main paper in a journal. It will usually be included by Offa Tower and Fa Ling Tower to fill the database, and it can only appear in the index of the data above."

"In other words, I still have to write a thesis?"

"Yes, you can simplify this paper and summarize the most valuable spiritual materials from the twenty-eight kinds of spirit beasts. Especially the spiritual materials that have outstanding effects on certain attributes and are more suitable for card making, summarize After that, it’s another good paper.”

"I see." Duke understood quickly.

He spent half a year researching the subject, experimenting with all the spiritual materials of the twenty-eight kinds of spirit beasts, but most of these spiritual materials have negative effects, and it is not worth refining spiritual power to make cards.

Therefore, this part of the content is worthless.

"Choose the most useful spiritual materials and publish a paper separately, so as to help card makers choose spiritual materials for card making." He returned to his office and quickly asked Xiaoyi to establish a new process and summarize a new paper. paper.

By the time I get off work, the new paper has been written.

"Xiao Yi, you are awesome!"

"Thank you master for your compliment, Xiaoyi's heart is sweeter than eating honey." Xiaoyi's intelligence has improved again, and her anthropomorphic function has improved further.

Duke simply asked Mu Lali to entertain the members of the research team, while he stayed in the office and worked overtime to print out this new paper.

The old paper was a full one hundred and forty-two pages.

The new paper was only thirteen pages long.

After the binding was finished, Duke sniffed the scent of ink on the paper. Duke was in a good mood, writing two papers on one subject.

Full of sense of accomplishment.

I have never experienced this in my previous life, and even my college graduation thesis was copied from the Internet.

So writing two papers by himself in this life really made him addicted to this sense of accomplishment, as if he was also a scientific researcher.

"When I was on the earth, I lived in a muddle, only knowing about eating, drinking and having fun, but now, I have a higher pursuit!"

Duke looked at the thesis in his hand, and his heart was surging: "I want to gain insight into the mysteries of spirituality, and appreciate all the magnificent scenery in the extraordinary world!"

The thesis was locked in a drawer, and Duke went downstairs to the castle to have a drink with the research team members.

...

The next day, Duke handed in a new paper.

"Analysis of Practical Spiritual Materials for New Strange Spiritual Beasts in Cuihai Valley".

"It's finished so soon?" Director Vikas was surprised again, "You're writing the paper too fast."

"I remember everything about the data in my heart, so the writing went smoothly." Duke laughed.

While flipping through Duke's new thesis, Vikas said: "I read the thesis you left yesterday, and it's well written in all aspects, but there is one thing that needs to be beautified, some words and sentences seem too dry .”

"My literary talent is indeed a little bit worse." Duke agreed.

The paper was written by Xiaoyi. As a model of artificial intelligence, Xiaoyi can guarantee rigorous wording and fluent sentences, but there is no way to guarantee elegant writing.

Duke added: "I'm going to take some time to read some books on poetry and poetry to improve my writing."

"It is necessary to read more books. We can't just bury our heads in the field of spiritual mysteries, but also look up at the beauty of nature and cultivate our personal sentiments. I personally think that spirituality and beauty are in common, and we must be good at discovering beauty. .”

"I will try to find the beauty in life."

"Look at your paper. Like the previous one, the language is relatively dry. It reads like... reading a news report."

"Uh... do you think my paper can be published in a journal?" Duke asked.

"There is a chance. I can only say that there is a chance. It should be qualified to appear in local academic journals. The probability of "Runwu City Spirit Card" journal should be the highest."

Then Vikas told Duke about the classification of academic journals in the Seven Towers Federation.

Roughly divided into three levels, core academic journals, general academic journals and local academic journals.

The lowest level of local academic journals is issued by a wizard tower in a certain place in the Federation, and the local Faling tower assists in the publication. For example, "Runwu City Spirit Card" is co-hosted by the Faling Pagoda of Runwu City and the Malotav Sage Master Tower.

Marotav was a card-making sage hundreds of years ago, and he initiated the local academic journal "Runwucheng Lingka".

Although he has passed away for many years, the Malotav Sage Mage Tower has been passed down and has become a holy place for card making in the entire Wind Breath field.

Most of the card makers in the wind breath field like to contribute "Moisturizing City Spirit Card".

Ordinary academic journals are sponsored by Offa Tower in the Holy City of Offa, and are distributed to the entire Seven Towers Federation, focusing on research results in a single field.

Higher-level core academic journals are also sponsored by Offata, but they are issued to all human beings and are comprehensive academic journals.

"I suggest that you vote for the "Runwu City Spirit Card". You are a card maker in the field of wind breath, and your hometown has extra points, so you have a great hope of passing. If you don't pass, you can vote for the city along with the previous papers." Faling Tower, back up the index."

The Offa Tower contains all the knowledge of the Seven Towers Federation, and the papers of the arcane masters will be stored in the Offa Tower for easy retrieval.

But for thousands of years, the arcane masters did not know how many papers they published, and it was impossible to display them one by one in the arcane tower. Therefore, it is stored in Faling Pagodas in various places, and only a directory index is kept in the Fa Ling Pagoda, which is convenient for the Arcane Master to find the location of the thesis.

"Okay." Duke replied.

"By the way, wait for your tutor to read it first. If the thesis is good, the tutor may recommend it for you to increase the probability of passing." Assistant Vikas explained, "Mr. One of the reviewers."

According to what Vikas said, Duke first went to Mentor Penrose.

As for the subject paper, Penrose simply flipped through it, and the comment was very solid, so he put it aside and picked up Duke's new paper to read.

It took about ten minutes to finish reading the thirteen pages of "Analysis of Practical Spiritual Materials for New Strange Spiritual Beasts in Cuihai Valley".

Then he commented: "Yes, there are several kinds of spiritual materials on the twenty-eight kinds of spirit beasts, which can reduce the production cost of arcane cards. I think the value of this paper is enough to be published in "Runwu City Spirit Card" Come on, I'll write a letter of recommendation for you."

"Thank you, mentor."

"The thesis is very mature, it seems that I have worked hard in private." Penrose praised again.

Duke smiled humbly: "The writing is not good enough, and the writing is rather boring."

"Not all reviewers pay attention to the writing style. As long as the words are meaningful and the reading is smooth, they will naturally understand how to polish them after writing too much."

Penrose quickly took out a piece of letter paper and wrote his recommendation on it.

Stamping with a special seal, and injecting a touch of spiritual energy into the special ink pad, this is the signature method exclusive to arcanists.

The anti-counterfeiting effect is first-class.

After Duke received the recommendation letter and thesis, Mentor Penrose started today's lecture, describing the production process of the Arcane Card.

"The biggest difference between civilian cards and arcane cards is whether spiritual materials are added to the spell model. The energy lines carved by pure psionic energy do not have elemental attributes or special effects. They can be used for civilian purposes. The technique is not enough.”

When Penrose spoke eloquently, Duke listened carefully.

Psychic energy is a changeable power in the hands of an arcanist, once it is fixed in the spirit card, this change will be lost.

For a simple spiritual card like a civil card, the spiritual power of an arcanist alone is enough.

However, the arcane art is complex and delicate, and the spell models required by the arcane card have many changes. It is difficult to guarantee the stability of the arcane art by relying on spiritual power alone.

At this time, it is necessary to use the spirituality extracted from different spiritual materials, inject it into the energy line to exert influence, and ensure the stable activation of the arcane.

"How to infuse the spirituality extracted from different spiritual materials into the energy line, and how to integrate with the card material, this is what the arcanist needs to ponder..."

Duke recorded all Penrose's lectures in Xiaoyi's database.

After the lecture, he left with his thesis and recommendation letter, went directly to the Faling Pagoda, and submitted the thick thesis directly to the thesis department-the thesis department would immediately send it to the Faling Pagoda in another city, and hand it over to the Faling Pagoda. Give it to the Arcane Master over there for review.

After passing the review, it can be stored in the warehouse and apply to Offata for indexing.

If an arcane master finds Duke's thesis through the index of Offata and wants to read it, he can spend money to buy it.

As for Bobo's new thesis and recommendation letter, Duke used the letter transfer business of the thesis department to send it to the headquarters of "Runwu City Spirit Card" - Malotav Sage Master Tower.

From Shenjiao City to Runwu City, the distance is so long that the postman owl can no longer deliver letters.

Faling Pagoda will have special route cars and even route airships to communicate with various cities, deliver letters, deliver goods and deliver people.

"Duke, you've come to Faling Pagoda, and I don't know if you can come and have a seat." Director Philibel asked his assistant to invite Duke to the office.

"I just came here to do something, I didn't expect to alarm you." Duke laughed.

Philibel was a student of Suktara, and she worked hard to win Duke over before, hoping to win Duke to the Suktara Master Tower.

But after Duke decided to go to Penrose Master Tower, he didn't see Philibel much.

"Are you here to submit a paper?"

"Yes."

"It seems that you are studying well in Penrose Master Tower, and you have completed the project and published the paper."

Duke said modestly: "It's just a task in the tower assigned by the instructor. Let me use it to exercise the proficiency of the spell model. I still have a lot to learn."

"You are too modest. I heard that you have already learned how to make cards. Even your instructor thinks that you have outstanding talent in the field of card making." Philibel said with a smile, "I have a project here, which is related to card making." Related, do you want to see it?"

"Is this a subject outside the tower?"

"certainly."

"Please tell me."

"Our Faling Pagoda is planning to customize a batch of knight medals. The 0-ring knight attendant-green medal, the 0-ring knight-green blue-patterned medal, and the 1-ring great knight-blue medal all have special logos, so we need The card maker can help with the design." Philibel said, "You should be able to do it, right?"
