The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 42: The Concept of Kinetic Weapons (Please Read Later)
After refining the formula, Richard gave the concentration potion he had made in the past half month to Anna as payment, and customized a machine for her.

All the material expenses for the past half month were borrowed from Anna.

"What you want is not difficult to make. A magic probe and a few stable magic input devices can solve the problem. But..." Anna hesitated to speak. The machine customized by Richard made her have a crazy guess in her mind.

Did he use a machine to make the potion?

"Sister Anna, what do you want to say?"

"Nothing." Anna shook her head, getting rid of the crazy idea in her mind.

How could potions be made by machines?

"I happen to be free these few days. Wait a week and come back to see me after a week."

Seeing Anna's agreement, Richard was certain. Anna's research direction was magic equipment and alchemical machinery. As the most outstanding student of Qiaoluode in the past thousand years, her attainments in alchemical machinery were definitely the best among the apprentices.

The machines are made by her, so their quality and precision are absolutely guaranteed.

After leaving the experimental area, Richard followed Anna to the commercial area to pay for the magic stones of the potion.

"You are making a fortune now. I can hardly catch up with you." Anna handed the bag full of magic stones to Richard and said jokingly.

Richard smiled shyly, "How can I compare to you, Senior Sister? Your magic suit is equivalent to the time it takes me to make a month's worth of potions."

"How old are you now? I'm already a senior apprentice." Anna sighed. She now felt like the waves behind were pushing the waves in front of them away, and the waves in front of them died on the beach.

How long has Richard been exposed to alchemy, yet he has achieved such results?

When he reaches his own point, there’s no telling what kind of monster he’ll become.

As he hadn't been back to the dormitory for half a month, Richard bought several dozen kilograms of fresh beef and two kilograms of iron pellets in the commercial district.

I haven't fed Wuni for these days, don't let it starve.

Fortunately, when he returned to the dormitory, Wuni didn't seem to have changed much, except that its feathers were a little dull and lacked the glossy luster it once had. And at the corner of its mouth, Richard even found a trace of flesh and blood.

"Good boy, you actually went out to steal food." Richard stroked Wu Ni's feathers, and Wu Ni rubbed him gently.

After feeding Wu Ni, Richard returned to his desk and looked over the model that Ellie had given him.

This disassembled rune array can still be used as a spell, but Richard now needs to consider how to make this spell more useful.

"After releasing the Ice Cone Technique, there will be a long acceleration process..." Richard casually drew on the manuscript paper with a feather pen, "Continuous acceleration, isn't this similar to a rocket?"

The flight of a rocket requires constant consumption of fuel to reach its maximum speed, while the ice cone spell consumes the kinetic energy attached to the ice cone by the spell to gradually accelerate.

If he repeatedly uses the acceleration spell on the ice cone while it is accelerating, will the damage distance of the projectile be longer and the power be stronger?

Richard felt that he had found the point.

But ideas are just ideas, and turning them into reality requires a lot of effort.

If Richard wants to make this magic suit, he needs to find a suitable carrier material for the spell, and then design the rune positions and magic conduction circuits.

The second thing is to reduce the number of runes of this spell as much as possible. The more runes there are, the more magic power is required and the greater the heat loss caused. If the current number of runes is engraved, Richard does not need to test the materials and can use mithril directly.

But which alchemist wizard wouldn't be envious of Mithril? How could it be his apprentice's turn to get it?

According to Richard's idea, this magic suit should have a long and narrow accelerated channel, with kinetic spells engraved at different positions of the channel so that the spells can fully act on the launched entity. Richard drew his idea into a draft, and after some revisions, a very rough wizard version of the gun appeared on the manuscript paper.

"This is really fate." Richard couldn't help laughing as he looked at the draft.

With the preliminary design drawings, Richard began to manufacture it.

First, he asked Ellie next door to reduce the number of runes in the kinetic spell as much as possible, and Ellie readily agreed to this request. Secondly, he began to collect materials he thought were possible in the commercial district for experimentation.

According to Richard's idea, this magic suit should be composed of acceleration pipes and projectiles, or in layman's terms, gun barrels and bullets.

Among these, the material of the bullet is particularly important.

A qualified bullet must be hard enough, light enough, and flexible enough. If possible, it should also have the property of breaking magic.

But collecting materials was a tedious task. After trying it for a while, Richard suddenly remembered that he had met an apprentice who was in the alchemical materials business.

……

"There are a lot of these things..." Kevin looked at the list made by Richard. He had been in the alchemy business for a while, but just looking at the list of materials given by Richard, Kevin couldn't even guess what he wanted to do.

"When doing experiments, it is inevitable to try several different materials," Richard said lightly.

"I'll help you keep an eye on these things in the commercial district. If there are any wizard guilds or apprentices selling them, I'll help you get them." Kevin folded the list and put it in his inner pocket. "I heard that Richard, you've become a big shot now."

"I'm not a big shot. I'm just using the title of mentor." Richard waved his hand.

"Hey, being too modest is actually pride." Kevin stood up and poured a cup of tea for Richard. "The concentration potion from Anna's cottage is quite famous in the commercial district. Apprentices who have used it say that the quality is more stable than the potion from Ulrich's Alchemy Shop."

"Ulrich Alchemy Shop?" Richard asked puzzledly.

"Don't you know?" Kevin was a little surprised. "Before you, the Concentration Potion was always sold in Master Ulrich's alchemy shop."

"I really don't know about that." Richard touched his chin awkwardly. He really didn't care who was selling concentration potions in the commercial district.

The pharmaceutical market that the college focuses on is huge, and it is not time for him to compete with others yet.

"Everyone is saying that you made the concentration potion to compete with Joseph because he stole your woman..."

"What the hell." Richard interrupted with a smile, "I'm not that free yet."

"Although you didn't mean that, some people think so." Kevin paused, "And the potion business of Ulrich Alchemy Shop has indeed become smaller because of you."

"It turns out that the Focus Potion is in short supply, and everyone tolerates it even if the quality is poor. But with the emergence of a competitor like you, some apprentices who are not so anxious have started waiting."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Waiting for your potion." Kevin's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance. "Your potion is of good quality and stable. You produce a large number of potions every month. If I'm not in a hurry to go on a mission, I will naturally buy your potion."

"I really didn't expect that." Richard shook his head. "So if you want to say something, just say it directly."

"Haha, Richard, you still have the same temper. It was like this on the airship, and it is still like this now." Kevin smiled and stated his purpose.

"I want to be your Potions agent."
