Studying Science in the Alternate World

Slap!

The teacup was slammed onto the floor by Clarinda, smashing into glass shards all over the floor.

"It's ridiculous, it's ridiculous!" Kleinda roared furiously, "How could Duke invent the technology of continuous supply and patina!"

Aziguli didn't even look at the glass shards on the floor, but said indifferently: "I have investigated, and this technology has changed hands several times, but the original source is Old Sam, the owner of Little Sam's repair card shop, and Du Ke worked at Little Sam's Shuka shop back in the day."

"Ahem!" Clarinda blushed, "So what, who knows if it was invented by old Sam or Duke!"

"In any case, after this matter spreads, it will have a negative impact on Runwanjia."

"Who dares to make irresponsible remarks about the patent I bought with money!"

"In short." Azigul looked at the man in front of him, and sighed, "Kleinda, why don't you take a step back, relying on the lamp is not enough to prevent Duke from getting the title of polymath, let's slow down in the future." Slow down to buy patents."

"No, I can't swallow this breath. Now the situation has been reversed by Runwanjia. I went out this time and talked about a lot of cooperation, which is enough to ensure that the magic light lamp will defeat the portable lamp in the market. Then you and I will tell Runwan The Erudite Tower of Wucheng uses its strength, does the Erudite Tower dare to take the risk and give the title of Erudite to Duke?"

"Infringement is infringement, Kleinda, you need to see the reality!" Aziguli reached out and knocked on the table, "The arcane master of the Erudite Tower in Runwu City will not take the risk of violating our original intention to help us cover up, In fact..."

"What actually?" asked Clarinda.

"In fact, my twisted ring has already had a slight reaction, and I can't hold on for too long. The infringement case must end as soon as possible." Azigul said.

"How could this be? It's just delaying the trial. How could your twisted ring react?"

The twisted ring is the place where the arcanist hides his heart, guards his practice, anchors his heart, and reduces the risk of becoming a fallen demon.

"Because my heart tells me that the aura lamp is copied from the portable lamp. This is a fact that I cannot deny." Aziguli said coldly, "Every learned Taoist master must set up a learned lamp. Heart, once shaken, the result is terrible."

"Huhu..." Kleinda panted heavily, and said after a long time, "I see, even though you have passed the verdict, Runwanjia's actions will never stop. This business competition will continue!"

"Whatever you want." Aziguli said coldly.

Immediately she got up and was about to leave, but when she opened the door, Clarinda suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute."

Aziguli turned around and looked at Kleinda calmly.

Clarinda's painful expression flashed across his face, and then he suppressed his emotions and said: "You know, I don't want people to see a joke, since my spiritual core was broken... In any case, if I lose, I will lose completely. Rather than backing away halfway!"

Aziguli's heart softened, and she said softly, "Oh, why bother."

"It's necessary!" Clarinda said seriously, "Besides, it's not yet known who will die, and what about the infringement of the aura lamp. As long as the portable lamp can be defeated and the giant of light can be extinguished, everything will return to the way it should be. The ridicule at this time The sound is just a little noisy."

"As you wish." Aziguli pushed the door open.

After Azigul left for a long time, Kleinda called his assistant to clean up the broken glass in the office.

Then they sent people to call the general manager, sales director and others of Runwanjia Spirit Tool Factory to hold a meeting in the office, continue to expand the production scale, continue to sell at a loss, and carry out comprehensive promotional activities in the cities and market towns of the eight major regions.

From September to October, and from October to December.

Runwanjia and the giant of light are like two big men fighting for their lives. They burned an unknown number of golden dragons, and spread the two series of products, portable lamp and aura lamp, to every corner of the wind breath field.

Ordinary people's families almost have one.

"A portable lamp for 25 copper dragons, and an aura lamp for 24 copper dragons!" The mercenary far away in Cuihai Valley held a lamp in one hand, "Hey, these two companies are competing, and hand lamps are getting cheaper and cheaper. I don't know what to think."

"Whatever it thinks, I'll just take advantage anyway." Another mercenary laughed.

"The hand lamp is very useful, but the brightness is not good enough, it can't illuminate very far, and the large searchlight is not convenient to carry."

"Come on, it's much better than before with a spiritual wind lamp that can't be illuminated one meter away, so you can be content."

"These two companies have only lowered prices, but they don't know how to put more effort into their products."

"Speaking of which, the portable lamp was invented by the Giant of Light Company. Runwanjia is a big company, and it is infringing on other people's patents."

"Is the lawsuit settled?"

"Sentence, the sentence was pronounced a while ago. From now on, every time Runwanjia sells an aura lamp, they will have to compensate the giant of light for the patent infringement fee of one or two copper dragons." The mercenary had read the newspaper before and introduced this side news.

"Then why is the Runwan family still selling spiritual lamps? Isn't this giving money to the Giant of Light?"

"Don't be afraid of great achievements. There is an arcane master behind him. There is a lot of money, but the patent fee is not paid, and it is said that it will be delayed. In short, the Giant of Light will be dragged to death."

"It's so dark."

"What do you think, the methods of the masters of the arcane masters are ruthless!"

"That's not right, there is an arcane master behind the Runwan family, isn't there an arcane master behind the giant of light?"

"Masters are also divided into grades. Can the 3rd ring be the same as the 1st ring? I don't even think about it."

"That's enough, let's talk less about night operations. Tonight, our regiment will catch up and sell more ferrets." The head of the mercenary regiment scolded, "Recently, the situation in Cuihai Valley is not right, and I feel that it is going to happen again." A new wave of insect swarms broke out, and after completing this mission, we will retreat to Snake Town to rest for a while."

"Captain, what are you talking about the Bernoulli family is doing? They said they wanted to hire someone to deal with Yalong. It's been half a year, and nothing has happened."

"Don't worry about the matters above." The leader scolded, "Who cares when it hunts the dragon, I wish the pioneering war would last for a few more years, and we can earn a few more years, retire when we earn enough, and go home to find a quiet community Be a security guard and enjoy yourself!"

"I don't want to be a security guard. I plan to stay in Cuihai Valley and join the Bernoulli family as a vassal knight."

"The Bernoulli family only needs Gu knights, one-eyed Bob, and you will have to contract a bug when the time comes."

"What's wrong with contracting a worm? My warthog king is already old, and he has no potential to advance to a 1-ring spirit beast in this life. It's better to contract a worm."

Suddenly.

A mercenary in front issued a notice: "Ferret beast has been found, hurry up, focus on lighting, blind it, fix it!"

I don't know how many lamps and lanterns, the light emitted together, illuminated the thorny bushes ahead. Then a great knight mercenary, tore through the thorn bushes, and grabbed a spirit beast that was slightly bigger than a hound, which was standing still.

"Hey!" The big knight picked up the ear of the spirit beast, quickly took the chains handed over by others, and tied the spirit beast firmly, "It's really a goddamn god, catch ferrets with hand lamps, and catch each one accurately. , These ferrets don’t know how to run.”

"Ferrets are only active at night and are extremely sensitive to light. If they are blinded by the eyes, they will be directly blinded." A mercenary accompanying the team explained.

"I never had the opportunity to catch ferrets so quickly before, thanks to the portable lamp!"

"If you want me to say, I have to thank the Giant of Light, and that Lord Duke who invented the portable lamp."

"Thank you, Lord Duke." The head of the group took the ferret with a smile and stuffed it into a bag, "Go, continue to look for the next one, Lord Duke favors us, let's catch more ferrets, sir win this business war.”

...

Autumn and winter come.

The lighting battle was in full swing, but Shenjiao City had already entered the cold winter season, and the first snow had already fallen.

On the playground of Suktara Castle, Duke is riding a tall spirit horse.

A person silently practiced the "Imperial Dragon Cavalry Spear" on the horse, charging, sprinting, and constantly performing various fighting skills with the spear.

On his shoulders lay a big fluffy squirrel.

This squirrel is obviously the long-haired mongoose - Xiaodou, Xiaodou and Duke trained together, the aura of one person and one beast has been swayed by the sea of ​​blood, and the two have become one.

at this time.

It can be seen that on Xiaodou's forehead, there is a clear and bright red mark, which represents the knight's contract.

The ring-shaped imprint is very complicated, with twists and turns, but eventually connects into a line.

This is a closed loop.

"Drink!" Duke raised the knight's spear in his hand, and with the spear flying, all the fighting spirit in his body poured out on the dummy on the charge road.

boom!

The dummy made of spirit gold was blown to pieces.

At the same time, he burst out laughing violently, only feeling that the battle qi in his body seemed to have a chain reaction, and as he performed the battle qi martial arts, all the battle qi broke through the critical value and leaped to another level.

Fighting temperament changes.

Become thicker, tougher, and longer, and become sharper, lighter, and more explosive.

The two completely different qualities are simultaneously manifested in the brand-new fighting qi, the roar of the sea of ​​blood is even more surging, and a steady stream of new-quality fighting qi burst out, making him seem to have endless power.

The knight's spear was raised again, and with a single blow, the spirit gold dummy in front of him was smashed into pieces.

The power is several times stronger than the previous full blow.

"It's hearty!" Duke laughed, and rode back to the rest area of ​​the playground, threw the knight's spear casually, and threw it into the crowd.

A great knight stood up in an instant, caught the knight's spear, and praised by the way: "Congratulations, my lord, break the shackles, and advance to the first-level great knight!"

"Congratulations, my lord, for advancing!"

"Congratulations, my lord."

The great knights in the rest area congratulated Duke one after another, and Vivienne, the captain of the guard knights, also stared at Duke with shining eyes.

Xiaodou stood up on Duke's shoulders, as if all the congratulations were for him, chirping triumphantly.

Duke has calmed down his excitement and returned to his consistent indifference: "It's a matter of course. Two days ago, Xiaodou advanced to the 1st ring spirit beast, and I have reached the critical point of breakthrough. However, I have been busy, and I will not choose to break through until the weekend rest."

"My lord, do you want to practice charging together?" Vivian suggested.

"Forget it, I won't practice, I will keep the small pocket, and you continue to train it." Duke threw the small pocket down and chose to run away.

Become a great knight, strengthen your fighting spirit and protect your body.

He has already achieved his goal of stacking armor, so there is no need to spend more energy on cultivating battle qi. As for the 2-ring Phantom Beast Knight, it needs opportunities, and hard work alone is useless.

Back in Tower 2, just finished showering.

Then I saw Butler Morris, waiting in the hall with an acquaintance - it was Suktara's assistant Subbotan.

"Your Excellency Duke, have you rested?" Subotan asked with a smile.

Duke patted his forehead and sighed in his heart: "The teacher really doesn't let me go for a minute. It's rare to have a weekend off, so he still wants to call me over!"

After complaining a few words in his heart, he replied calmly: "Okay, wait a while, I'll have a cup of tea and set off."

It was rare to meet a teacher who was willing to teach them all, and Duke didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, so after drinking the tea, he followed Subotan to the mage's tower.

Teaching is no longer in Tower 1.

Because the basic alchemy knowledge has already been taught, the rest of the teaching needs to be completed with experiments, so it is placed in the mage tower.

"Teacher." Entering the laboratory, Duke said hello.

Suktara, who is full of silver hair, can't tell from her posture that she is one hundred and sixty years old. She has rosy skin and bright eyes, which can be called a childlike face with white hair.

This is spiritual energy that nourishes the body at all times and keeps the body youthful.

Even today's Duke can feel the blessings of spiritual energy to his body, allowing him to be in peak condition all the time, without worrying about the aging and degeneration of his body functions-even though he is only seventeen years old now, not yet full eighteen years old.

"Come on, the teacher has prepared an interesting experiment today, which will allow you to better understand the transformation between spirituality and matter."

Suktara beckoned and continued to fiddle with the instruments and tools on the table.

"Teacher, have you been in the lab for a long time?" Duke immediately started to attack Suktara, "You have been working too hard these days, you are required to preside over the work at the Union Tower, and you will still be busy when you return to the Mage Tower." Teach me."

Suktala smiled kindly and looked at Duke: "How many times have I told you that there is no need to feel sorry for the teacher. Although the teacher is old, he is not bad at all."

Pointing to the experiment she designed, she said: "Look, these spiritual materials can be refined into 'Terus Core' material after processing. This material is a common material for refining quasi-arcane weapons. In the keel, there is the core material of Tersi."

Dozens of untreated spiritual materials are placed on the table, including ores, metals, bones, and some wood.

After Suktara waited for Duke to identify the spiritual materials one by one, he pointed to another pile of mud-like spiritual materials: "These are the spiritual materials that I have processed. Nest, this swallow mud material is the main material of the mage tower and other buildings."

She told Duke: "Come on, let the teacher make the core of Ters first."

"OK."

Duke is proficient at using spiritual materials, using his thoughts to guide spiritual energy, and processing it through alchemy.

With Xiaoyi's assistance, every step of material processing can be perfectly controlled, which is much easier than drawing spell models in card materials.

Even if Duke closed his eyes, he could follow Xiaoyi's steps to refine the materials.

While handling the materials, Suktala looked at Duke's technique from the corner of his eye, and the more he watched, the more satisfied he was. Maybe there is still a little stagnation in the operation of the technique, but the control of steps and spiritual energy is not much worse than that of her old alchemist.

It has only been more than three months since Duke studied with her.

It took only two months to officially start alchemy.

In Suktara's mind, Duke was born to be an alchemist after being able to handle materials so proficiently in two months.

"This kid is right to learn from me!" Suktara said in his heart for countless times, "If I hadn't insisted, his talent as an alchemist would have been buried...Thanks for the spiritual blessing, bestowed I have a master-student relationship with him."

Not long after, the material has been processed.

Duke turned to look at Suktara: "Teacher, what should I do next?"

The kindness in Suktara's eyes almost overflowed: "My child, the next step is to fuse the materials to make the core of Tersi."

The process is somewhat complicated, and the operation is even more delicate.

However, with the help of Xiaoyi, Duke still completed the laying work excellently, and cooperated with Suktara to successfully make a beaker of the core of Tersi.

"The core of Ters can be stretched very long, try it." Suktara said with a smile.

Duke pulled it with his hand, and it looked like a sticky core of ters, but after pulling it up, it looked like noodles, and it would not break after being pulled several meters long.

Even if it is pulled to the thickness of a hair, there is still no way to break it.

"This is the core of Tersi. After drawing it, weaving it into a strand, and then adding it to the keel of the airship, even if it is attacked by a 3-ring arcane spell, it is difficult to break the keel... But it is still not perfect, and it has the ability to withstand limit."

As Suktara said, he sighed: "Facing the attack of the sub-dragon that exceeds the upper limit, the core of Tersi can't do anything, otherwise, no arcanist would have sacrificed in the last insect swarm."

Feel a little bit emotional.

She brought the topic back: "What we have to do now is to mix the solution of the core of Tersi with the swallow mud, and then you can feel it carefully, and feel what will burst out between these two alchemy materials. The change."

She poured the core mucus of Theres into the swallow mud.

Duke quickly injected spiritual energy into it, and then followed the perception of spiritual energy to carefully experience the changes in it. This is the mystery of alchemy.

At first, there seemed to be no collision between the two materials.

But as the solution kept mixing, the spirituality contained in it began to contact, and this contact, like setting off fireworks, burst out in all directions.

Numerous spiritual beings arise and die and transform in it.

Through the perception of psychic power, Duke was soon deeply shocked. He seemed to feel these phantasmal spirituality, gathered into a fresh life, and then died in a short period of time. The spirituality was chaotic, and the life was mixed. Constantly changing.

And his spiritual energy quickly couldn't stand the spiritual impact of the material, and was involved in it, joining the sequence of illusion.

When Duke came back to his senses, he saw that after the two materials were mixed in the vessel, it was like a pot of thick paste boiling, with thick bubbles gurgling.

Immediately there were a few drops of the mixed viscous material, which broke away from the paste as the bubbles burst, and then tried to climb outside the vessel as if it had grown feet.

But before climbing to the outer mouth of the vessel, it lost momentum and slowly slipped down, falling into the paste.

"this……"

"Do you feel that these materials seem to have life?" Suktara sighed, "This is the power of life."

"Life force?"

"Yes, spirituality is bound to be born in all spiritual materials, and spirituality is always transformed with all things. Spirituality is the source of your birth and the nourishment for your growth, but in the end, we will all return to spirituality, to the sea of ​​spirituality. "

Suktara continued: "In the eyes of the alchemist, the spiritual sea hits the waves on the shore and casts all things in the world. We take a drop of sea water and throw it into the spiritual sea to restore it to its original form. , this process is alchemy.”

"So, this is the principle behind the alchemy of spiritual materials, which can be used to cast arcane artifacts into the spiritual sea?" Duke asked softly.

"Yes, and no. We know that the spiritual ocean is boundless, but we don't know where it exists, so we just put this drop of seawater into the spiritual ocean of our imagination, which is the spiritual ocean of each of us."

paused.

Suktara sighed again: "Sorrell, he just saw this process and felt that alchemy is a process of sacrificing the basics, so he wanted to find the real spiritual sea...so he changed his career to study the life box."

Looking at Duke, she said, "I have considered before whether to give you this class so soon, I am afraid that you will learn from Sorel to study the origin of life. But the teacher believes that you are not Sorel, you will not Captivated by the true sea of ​​spirituality, you are a born alchemist."

"Um." Duke wanted to say that he would not refuse anyone, and wanted to get involved in any field.

But after thinking about it, he replied in the affirmative: "I don't know if I'm a born alchemist, but I think alchemy is more worthy of my research. The transformation of matter and spirit is a huge subject, and I will try my best." for."

"Good boy, the teacher is right about you." Suktara couldn't help but hold Duke's hand, "The future of alchemists should be entrusted to you to revitalize."

this moment.

Duke is not only the successor in Suktara's mind, but also the son of spiritual favor to revitalize the alchemists.

A sense of sacred mission filled Suktara's heart.

It made her wish she could not sleep, and gave Duke all her alchemy knowledge, and asked Duke to revitalize the alchemist.

Looking at the teacher's eyes, Duke shivered involuntarily.

It was finally time for lunch.

Duke finally got a chance to catch his breath. He hurried back to Tower 2 and told Morris after dinner: "If Assistant Subbotan still comes to see me in the afternoon, tell the teacher that I have something to do and don't wait." me."

Then hurriedly left the Suktara Mage Tower, not thinking about where to go, in short, don't stay in this Mage Tower that is dragged to class at any time.

"Sir, you don't seem to like going to Master Suktarah's class." The little assistant secretly laughed at him.

Duke stared: "What do you know, work and rest!"

Although he likes to study spiritual mysteries, he doesn't want to stay in the laboratory all day and be a "Frankenstein".

It's just as important to enjoy life.

"My lord, are you just wandering the streets like this?" Royce, the driver of the shuttle, asked.

After thinking about it, Duke said, "Let's go to the headquarters of the Giant of Light."

"OK."

The headquarters of the Giant of Light is still in the original small building, but the new headquarters is already under planning, but there is no money to build it for the time being.

The company's funds have been invested in the lighting battle, and they are fighting head-to-head with Runwanjia in the entire Fengxi field.

Basically, every time a portable lamp is sold, the company will lose ten copper dragons.

This is still not a big deal, after all, the sale of 2 million lamps only made a loss of 20 million copper dragons, equivalent to about 2,000 golden dragons.

The entire Shenjiao City has a population of 9 million, and the market is only that big. If it expands to the entire Fengxi field, there are only more than 200 million people, and how many lamps can be sold. Even if everyone has a portable lamp, they will only lose 200,000 gold dragons.

The real bulk lies in publicity costs, channel costs and various labor costs.

For this commercial war, nearly one hundred thousand golden dragons have been spent on the account of the Giant of Light Company, and it is about to bottom out.

"Sir, we currently only have three regions, and our sales volume exceeds that of Runwanjia." After arriving at the headquarters of the Giant of Light, Vuillard reported to his work in shame, "Runwanjia is basically not selling aura lamps, but is selling Send, cost about 28 copper dragons for the aura lamp, they sell 14 copper dragons."

The financial manager, Mu Lusi, was also there, and complained, "This is not a discount, it's just a broken bone!"

"It doesn't matter, keep spreading, they break the bone, we also break the bone." Duke didn't care at all, "I will act in the next year, and Runwanjia should jump at that time... In addition, I will often go to the Boxue Tower Complain and let Runwanjia pay me the patent fee."

The patents of portable lights and other technologies are all in the hands of Duke, so Runwanjia needs to pay him for patent infringement fees.

Speaking of this, Duke simply refused to listen to the work report: "Let's go, Xiao Lili, let's go to the Boxue Tower to continue our appeal, and we will stay in the Boxue Tower this afternoon!"
