How did I become the Lord of Evil Gods?

Chapter 269 Welcome from the Federation, the Congressman’s Daughter
Chapter 269: Lucy’s basic explanation of alchemy (title modified)——
"Ah, the sea——"

"I am bored."

Departing from Shuangluo Port, on the third day of sailing at sea, Yun Mu stood at the front of the deck of Xiangyang, facing the sea breeze blowing in her face, she said with emotion.

After the novelty of sailing faded away at the beginning, all that was left was the calmness and boredom that arose spontaneously when facing the unchanging sea surface.

The previous two days were supported by Breonna teaching her sailing skills, but now, according to Breonna's words, she had already taught almost everything that needed to be taught.

The rest can only be improved after experiencing it personally.

In other words, the paper experience has been accumulated to the end. If you want to continue to make progress, you need to practice it and integrate the knowledge you have learned.

In other words, Yun Mu has nothing to do.

Like a certain three-character anime, it was obviously unrealistic that the ship would be bustling every day. She was already considering whether to bring Breonna and Lucy together to play cards in the captain's cabin.

It's a pity that although she played many games before time travel, she could only play card games with landlords, and her skills were not very good. She could only play three kinds of chess-related games: tic-tac-toe, chess, and checkers.

If you have never played mahjong and want to kill time, there is really no good way.

As for the types of games she could play, Landlord was not of interest to her, chess was tired of playing before time travel, tic-tac-toe was boring, and checkers she just remembered playing before, but could not remember the specific rules.

How about asking the crew to see how people in this world spend their time?
Previously, Yun Mu had seen several crew members gathering in the cabin to play cards after finishing their work, so she might as well join them.

Of course, it was just talk. In fact, she was not interested in playing cards at all.

This is the real reason.

Winning or losing basically depends on luck. The crew also gambles for money when playing cards. Although it is not much, she still wants to participate as little as possible when it comes to money.

"Ah, so you are here!"

Breonna's voice suddenly came from behind him. Yun Mu turned around and saw a girl covered in ice scum walking quickly towards him.

"What's wrong with you?"

Yun Mu looked at the other party in surprise.

She looked like a victim who had just come out of a snowstorm, her clothes were covered in frost, but the problem was, it hadn't snowed at all in the past few days?
"Didn't I get a bottle of Frost Breath potion from you yesterday?" After hearing her words, Breonna explained to her: "I just wanted to analyze its ingredients."

"As a result, the spirituality contained inside exploded, and a large amount of fog mixed with frost covered my face."

"Ah." Yun Mu was stunned for a moment, and then asked with concern: "You are not injured, are you?"

Breonna asked her to get the bottle of Breath of Frost potion last night, saying she wanted to study it. Yun Mu didn't expect that the thing could explode.

"It's okay, it's okay." Breonna waved her hand: "I only took one milliliter, so the explosion is not very powerful."

"Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually very cautious."

"Would a very cautious person not take any protection at all?" Yun Mu frowned subconsciously and retorted.

Breonna smiled coquettishly: "This is already the result of protection. My temporary laboratory was basically frozen."

"Didn't you only take one milliliter?" Yun Mu was very surprised: "How powerful can one milliliter be?"

"That." Breonna avoided her gaze, looking a little guilty: "I only took one milliliter, but the remaining doses are still in the laboratory."

"When that one milliliter of medicine exploded, due to a chain reaction, the entire remaining bottle also exploded."

"."

Yun Mu was silent for a long time, and then she asked Breonna: "So, why did you come to me?"

"Let's make a deal first, and then there's no way I can ask for a bottle of Frost's Breath potion."

The bottle she was given earlier blew up the laboratory. It was hard for Yun Mu to imagine what trouble would happen if she was given another bottle.

Although it stands to reason that after experiencing this accident, Breonna will definitely be more careful the next time she experiments. But that will wait until the Xiangyang's spirituality repairs the bombed laboratory.

However, what surprised Yun Mu was that the expression on Breonna's face hardly changed after hearing her words.

"It doesn't matter, actually I thought of a better way." She chuckled and said, "Can you let Miss Lucy come out? It must be the alchemy potion she refined."

"Compared to locking myself in the laboratory and researching, it is obviously faster to go find me," she said.

"Indeed." Yun Mu nodded in agreement, and then looked at her with some confusion: "Then why didn't you do this before?"

"Well, I just want to try to analyze the ingredients, and I have no intention of showing off my skills in front of Miss Lucy first."

"Didn't you tell me everything!?"

"Forget it." Yun Mu raised his forehead and said, "Let me call Miss Lucy out."

"Just in time, you also reminded me. I was originally going to learn alchemy from Miss Lucy, but I forgot about it because I was studying navigation in the past two days."

As Yun Mu spoke, he clicked on the game panel and summoned Lucy.

"Speaking of which, Miss Yun doesn't need to make any preparations in advance when she summons Miss Lucy." Looking at Lucy who appeared in front of her, Breonna suddenly thought of something and said casually.

"That's because I'm always in a summoned state. It's just because Miss Yun's spirituality can't guarantee my long-term activity, so I'm dormant most of the time." Before Yun Mu could explain, Lucy on the side took the lead. said.

"Yes, that's right, that's it." Yun Mu took back what he had in mind and nodded in recognition.

"That's right." Breonna nodded, not paying much attention.

"So, what's the matter with calling me out?" Lucy pretended to have just woken up and looked at Yun Mu and asked.

"Oh, that's right."

Yun Mu told Breonna about her previous analysis of the Breath of Frost explosion and her desire to learn alchemy.

"Well, didn't I say before, don't try to analyze the alchemy items I created." After hearing Yun Mu's words, Lucy was a little confused.

"I never said that." Yun Mu shook his head affirmatively.

"Well, blame me." After receiving the affirmative answer, Lucy looked a little helpless.

The main reason is that she didn't expect that someone of her own would try to analyze the potion she refined. All she had to do was ask her.

"That happened a long time ago." Lucy said to the two of them: "When I was an alchemy apprentice, a good friend of mine successfully won the favor of my mentor by stealing my alchemy invention." "I'll give you the specific details. I don’t want to say more, but since then, the items I refine will be kept confidential.”

"As long as you try to analyze its structure or refining techniques, it will eventually cause the refined item to self-destruct. And the best way to destroy it is often to explode."

"If you want an efficient coolant, I can help you make it, but"

Lucy looked at Brenna, who interrupted before she could finish her words: "No, I want to learn alchemy and then make what I want myself!"

"Haha, very good." Lucy nodded with satisfaction.

Then she looked at Yun Mu: "It's quite difficult to learn alchemy. If you don't have the determination to learn it no matter what, you just want to give it a try."

"Uh." Lucy noticed Yun Mu's expectant look, suddenly paused for a moment, and changed her words: "It doesn't matter, it would be good to cultivate it as a hobby."

Hey, even I feel like you're a little too close to me!
After hearing the second half of Lucy's words, Yun Mu complained in his heart.

"When do we start?" she asked impatiently.

"Any time, eh."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lucy thought of something. She looked around and added: "The premise is to change the place."

"Although the deck of the Xiangyang is wide and flat, there are no tables here, and the wind is very strong," she said.

"Go to the conference room." Yun Mu suggested at this time: "There is no one else there, so you won't be disturbed."

"Well, it won't disturb others." Finally, she added.

The conference room is directly above the captain's room. It is a place reserved for the core members of the Xiangyang to hold meetings when necessary.

Well, it's actually just a spare room, of no use.

Set up a big table and fill it with chairs, and it can be used as a meeting place.

As for why not use this place, for example, as a No. 2 warehouse or something?
To be honest, that's not necessary at all.

After all, if nothing else, the storage space of an earring in Yunmu is 500*500*500, and she can carry more items than the entire ship.

Is there any need to install an additional warehouse?
If he wasn't afraid of scaring his crew, Yun Mu would even convert the warehouse on the lower level of the ship into a crew dormitory.

At that time, each person will have a room, focusing on first-hand boating experience.

"Ahem, about alchemy. It is actually the process of converting one item into another item."

"In addition, alchemy can also stimulate the spirituality in objects to produce unexpected effects."

Lucy sat across from Yun Mu and Breonna, explaining the basics of alchemy to them incessantly.

"For example, common herbs can only be ground into a thick consistency by ordinary people, or processed in a special way to make an ointment that can cure diseases."

"But alchemy can directly skip this process. In addition, alchemy can also enhance or stimulate other powers hidden in the herbs by activating the spirituality in the herbs."

"This is the core of alchemy and the main way to distinguish alchemy from normal processing!"

"Not just herbs, the spirituality of ordinary items can also be activated. For example," Lucy paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "There is an alchemical product called explosive powder."

"It has a similar effect to gunpowder, but the formula is different."

"The specific refining method—it only requires lime plus ore powder with fire properties, and a neutralizing agent."

"The lime and ore powder here must activate spirituality, because without activating spirituality, the attribute of fire element will not exist in the ore powder."

"In addition, the degree of spiritual activation that different items can activate is also completely different. For example, the highest spiritual activation degree of dandelion grass is 95. Depending on the quality and the ability of the alchemist, the specific value will change, but basically it will not More than 95."

"The higher the spiritual activation level, the better the effect will be after refining."

When Lucy said this, she felt a little thirsty. Seeing this, Yun Mu immediately took out a thermos cup from the earring space and handed it to her.

"Thank you, GuluGulu."

After drinking the water, Lucy continued to explain.

"Although each item will more or less stimulate some hidden abilities after activating spirituality, alchemy is not as simple as addition and subtraction. It just adds the abilities of different items to each other."

"Just for the fusion of two materials, we must consider the suitability of the elements, whether the rigidity, flexibility, and neutrality of the materials are properly matched, whether the spiritual activation degrees of the two materials are similar, etc."

"The suitability of elements, as the name suggests, is the suitability of elemental attributes such as rock, water, fire, wind, thunder, grass, ice, light, darkness, and curse. There is no doubt that materials such as water and fire restrain each other. It’s very difficult to integrate, of course, I’m not saying it can’t be done, it’s just that it will be difficult.”

"Secondly, steel, soft, and neutral refer to the type of material. Generally speaking, when making an item, it is necessary to ensure that the steel and soft properties are balanced, and neutral materials play a balancing role."

"For example, the explosive powder just now, lime and fire attribute ore powder are all steel materials, while the neutralizer is neutral, because the first two are low-level materials, while the neutralizer is a high-level material. So it can offset the rigidity of both at the same time.”

"Suppose the fire attribute ore powder is replaced by charcoal, then the flexible charcoal, which is also a low-level material, can offset the rigid lime. However, because charcoal is a dual attribute material of grass + fire, while lime is a rock attribute material.”

"What is finally refined is just a ball of inert powder that is flammable but will not explode."

"Okay." Lucy looked down at Breonna, who was thoughtful, and then at Yun Mu, who was sweating profusely.

"You don't need to understand these things now, just remember them temporarily. When you practice them more often in the future, you won't be able to forget them even if you want to."

"If it were my teacher during my apprenticeship in alchemy, he would probably just throw a big book at you and memorize the detailed information of various materials first."

"But the teaching method of only knowing what is happening and not knowing what is happening is not my style, so the first class"

Before Lucy could finish her words, she heard calls suddenly coming from outside the door.

After listening carefully, it turned out that the Xiangyang had finally arrived at its intended destination, the border town of Foraka.

At this time, it was already approaching the pier on the shore.

Calculating the time, it's almost the same.

In that case
"Let's stop here for today." She chuckled: "After all, after leaving here, we will be sailing at sea for more than 20 days without being able to dock."

“Cherish this time on land.”
