Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 58 The Art of Creating Humans
Library, "Creativity" section.

The huge bookshelf stands like a high wall, extending straight upwards.

From time to time, you can see some small creatures with wings, less than a foot tall, floating among them.

That was the book fairy raised by Wu Ta, who was depositing and retrieving books according to the instructions of the apprentices who came to borrow books.

"I'm looking for books like 'Ode to the Ocean' and 'Four Color Theory'..."

Roy came to the service desk, flipped through the book floating in the air, which seemed to have infinite pages, and said to the book fairy who was approaching.

Immediately, several book fairies flew far away to help him look for it.

……

Not long after, in a corner of the reading area, Roy was flipping through some documents, lost in thought.

There is a certain evolutionary theory that holds that life originated from the ocean, and the original ocean was a pot of "primordial soup" containing many nutrients.

This is similar to the original soup of blackening.

The four alchemical colors are black, white, yellow and red, representing the changes in different stages of alchemy.

The first stage is blackening, the part where matter dissolves and decays and destroys.

The second stage, in which the substance is broken down and purified, is called albinism.

The third stage is the process of material reorganization and chemical combination to produce new substances, which is called xanthocyanosis.

The final stage is the so-called reddening, or "redness".

This is why the color of the Philosopher's Stone is often said to be red.

The alchemical archetype of "understanding, decomposition, and reconstruction" is also related to the cycle of destruction and creation.

However, there is another saying that they are arranged according to "black, white, red and yellow".

This could be an error during the dissemination process, or it could be an understanding based on different things and perspectives.

……

“The direction is clear.

The route has also been explored by previous people.

I have now mastered the knowledge of blackening, which is equivalent to standing on the shoulders of giants.

Logically speaking, there is a good chance!"

After returning, Roy was still thinking.

The rat snake moved slowly, winding on the table, and suddenly turned its head towards its owner.

At this moment, he was like a giant of thought, radiating the brilliance of rationality from head to toe.

"My biggest problem right now is that I don't have a mentor to guide me, and I don't know where to go!

There are no truly in-depth research projects!

The various technologies are scattered and not systematic, which will definitely cause great losses in the future.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to learn from Sophia, Oren and others to determine the direction and set goals.

If a mentor is on my way, I can take him with me. If that’s not possible, I will have enough ability to explore on my own and walk my own path!”

The rat snake looked at me with a gloomy gaze.

Roy clenched his fists.

But he pondered for a long time and made up his mind.

"In that case, why not learn how to create humans?

The art of creating humans in "Creativity" includes two major parts: the creation of life and intelligence!

Combined, they can lead to one of the four ultimate goals of alchemy - artificial life!
Humans are even more advanced beings among all living things, and their ultimate height is enough to even become gods!"

The "making a human being" mentioned here is not as simple as finding a female apprentice, then letting her become obsessed with pile driving, and then the two of them naturally reproduce offspring together.

As an alchemist in the wizarding world, his method of creating humans certainly cannot be that simple.

Roy's first consideration was to replace himself with a new body when the conditions were right, thus solving the problem of time travelers using their native bodies. Using someone else's body was somewhat distasteful, and being shameless with a female apprentice made it hard to tell who was cheating on whom.

This is by no means a perfect approach.

If one uses the body naturally conceived by the mother, it is equivalent to taking over someone else's body.

The difficulty is actually greater if you choose it yourself.

But precisely because of this, it would be easy to transform into a bloodline wizard, a mechanical wizard, or even a necromancer.

Now, I have actually taken the first solid step, which is the blood of artificial life - blood mercury!
Next, the whitening corresponding to the blackening should be...

Reverse the processes of "decay", "dissolution of flesh and blood", etc., and create "artificial meat" with reconstructed flesh and blood!
"Once you've mastered these, you can gradually move on to other applications of witchcraft, such as reattaching severed limbs and regenerating flesh and blood!

It can be used to create witch beasts and refine flesh puppets...

At worst, even if you make a cup to comfort yourself, it must be made of real materials.

The application scenarios are numerous and the coverage areas are very broad!"

Roy quickly made it clear that he wanted to refine something that corresponded to blood mercury - artificial meat!

……

More than half a month later, it was early March.

In the library.

"I see. So, what we usually think of as 'meat'... has so many meanings."

Thanks to the compulsory education received by the time traveler and the fusion of the memories of his predecessor as a low-level apprentice, Roy has a certain biological foundation.

He took out his notebook and started writing quickly.

“The different parts of the human body, including muscle tissue, fat tissue, connective tissue, blood vessels and nerves…

If it is in certain parts of the body, it also involves the corpus cavernosum, glands, fat pads, smooth muscles, and mucosa..."

But knowing it is one thing, but when you actually start to do it, it's still a mess.

Natural life is so exquisite and so complex.

Roy had no choice but to start from the beginning and try to familiarize himself with the different flesh and blood tissues step by step.

Then, it is time to adjust the different proportions of fat, muscle, water, etc.

This also depends on their respective uses.

If you are leaning towards the development direction of a combat puppet, you must have magic resistance or physical resistance.

If you prefer daily life, or appreciation and playing, you will consider the color and touch more.

If you try to do both, it will hurt your wallet, so you have to consider your financial situation.

If he were to study these things from scratch, he would not be able to gain any results in the short term.

But books are the ladder of human progress, and there are plenty of ladders in libraries.

It’s not that difficult to just follow the prescription and practice it.

After copying down what he needed, Roy left the library and spent one gold coin to buy a black goat. He had it slaughtered and took only the fresh meat back to his residence, where he dissolved it in the alchemy room.

After several rounds of washing and refining, a few days later, a small bucket of pale, sticky, gelatinous substance similar to chalk soil was obtained.

Roy poured the pale, sticky, gelatinous substance into a basin and began to fill it with fat, muscle fibers, and other materials.

Then place your palm over it and inject witchcraft energy.

As the white light spread and a strange change occurred, tender white meat was born!
Roy touched it and found that the meat was like the skin of a newborn baby, tender, smooth, soft and elastic.

Then I pressed it again and felt that the fat layer inside was evenly distributed and the muscle fibers were arranged in an orderly manner.

While maintaining its softness, it also has a certain firmness.

Even under the influence of the witchcraft energy mixed with "activation", it still contains a hint of warmth, showing a strange vitality like real life.

　From the blood of the sulfur-mercury theory to the flesh of the four-color theory... I've finally uncovered the main plot. Sure enough, I'm still obsessed with "Heaven" and "the creation of man." Some readers might recognize this as the secret method of creation? That's right, the alchemical version of creating humans! From Chapter 1, about the otherworldly soul, to hair, eyes, blood, and flesh... words, that's all. I'll temporarily suspend the technical aspects of Heaven's political ideals and idealistic states, as well as the immortal heroes and fantasy worlds of the Supreme Heavens. However, I still need to write about the creation of man, including the meaning of life, free will, and the debates between the ego, self, and superego (although it's not suitable for commercialization).
