Arad's Sword

Chapter 449 Mechanics

Mechanics, a type of alchemy.

Pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, hand cannons, armored battleships, airships, air battleships, and even war fortresses that will appear in the future, etc., all belong to the category of mechanics in alchemy.

Automatons, steel golems, shadow golems, blade traps, rockfall traps, homing missiles, laser cutting, etc., these also belong to the category of mechanics in alchemy.

If the pharmacy branch only involves herbal medicine and refining herbal medicine, then once mechanics is developed, it is equivalent to an all-encompassing subject.

After all, as long as there are various mechanical structures that do not rely on magic, they can all be counted as part of mechanics.

Because of this, the mechanics between the Underdark and the Sky Sea of ​​Clouds are vastly different due to the environment.

In the vast sea of ​​clouds in the sky, except for the more enchanting professionals such as Midi and Fina, most of the personal attacks are difficult to use. No matter how powerful the weapon is, in the air battlefield, the range is not enough. .

Therefore, the mechanics developed by Sky Cloud Sea are mostly large-scale machinery, and the smallest size is also of the vanguard class.

But it is different in the Underdark. This is a world blocked by rocks and darkness. This is a world where the magic contains the essence of darkness. This is a world like an endless maze.

Therefore, in the Underdark region, alchemy mechanisms, traps and magic circles are the focus of all mechanics.

Not only that, due to the characteristics of the Dark Elf race, long-distance occupations such as roaming gunners and gunners who value agility and use firearms can be seen everywhere here, so alchemy firearms have become the mainstream.

Time passed bit by bit, and Midi gradually began to have a comprehensive understanding of the mechanics of the Underdark.

And with this comprehensive understanding, he also discovered that although there is a huge difference between the sea of ​​clouds in the sky and the dark region, there are still many places where the mechanics of the two different directions can be integrated.

There are even many omissions in the mechanics of the Underdark, which can be made up for by the rigorous manufacturing method of the sky and sea of ​​clouds!

Coupled with the eighth apostle Lotes' dialing from time to time, Midi's progress in mechanics can be said to be rapid.

If there was a real mechanical alchemist standing here at this moment, he would be very surprised to see the span of books that Midi was flipping through.

From the original "Introduction to Mechanics", to "Gunsmithing", "Ammunition Generation", "Complete Alchemy Mechanisms", "Six Hundred Ways to Use Traps", etc., the books piled up around Midi are getting more and more The more, the more esoteric.

If "Introduction to Mechanics Principles" is regarded as a zero-level mechanical book, then after a while, books like "High-speed Magic Rifle" are equivalent to fourth- and fifth-level books.

Being able to make a real high-speed magic rifle is equivalent to being proficient in mechanics.

For an ordinary alchemist, even if he specializes in mechanics, it takes at least five years from entry to proficiency.

But now, how can it not be surprising that Midi has directly reached such a height from a layman in less than ten hours?

In fact, even the eighth apostle Lotes, who had always had a very high vision, couldn't help being shocked after seeing Midi's progress.

"Maybe, you are really talented in alchemy, especially in mechanics." The supreme powerhouse looked at the books piled up like a hill beside Midi, feeling so emotional.

"Someone said that before." Midi's eyes were a little complicated.

When Midi designed the prototype of the pioneer boat, both Master Norton and Wells once expressed such emotion.

But at that time, Midi knew very well that he only borrowed the advantages of rebirth, so he was able to conceive something like the vanguard boat that surpassed technology for several years.

Therefore, he didn't dig too far into his alchemy talent.

But at this moment, even the supreme powerhouse gave the same evaluation, and Midi couldn't help but wonder if he had neglected too much alchemy before.

But fortunately, now he at least has a chance to make up for it.

Just read more mechanics books.

The time immersed in knowledge always passes quickly, and ten hours passed in a flash. Midi walked out of the library tower with a satisfied face.

"Mr. Midi has something to gain?" The elder asked calmly, taking back the badge.

"It's very rewarding. There are indeed many differences between the pharmacy of the Underdark and the surface. After comparison, maybe I have a higher success rate in refining the seventh-level potion." Midi replied casually.

Level seven potion!

Even the well-informed elder Death Scorpion couldn't help being moved when he heard these words.

If ordinary people say such things, it will only be regarded as a joke.

But the black-haired human in front of him had refined a bottle of real seventh-level potion "Fire Core Potion" in the first alchemy.

But now, after reading the most basic pharmacy classics on the first floor of the library tower, he actually said that it can increase the success rate of refining seventh-level pharmacy!
If he was shown the higher-level alchemy classics on the second and third floors, what kind of height would the human refining level reach?
The elder couldn't help but have such a thought.

For a moment, he couldn't help but want to propose to the higher-ups whether the library tower should be fully opened to Midi without paying any contribution points.

But of course Midi didn't know that his words would cause so many thoughts to go through the elder's mind.

Even if she knew, Midi would not be very interested.

Because his purpose is not to become a real alchemist, but to obtain a ticket to enter the Black Dragon Conference.

"The basic knowledge has been tutored, and the next thing to do is to go there for a while." Under the starlight of the huge cave, Midi cast his sights on another huge stalagmite not far away.

That was the location of Death Scorpion's mechanical workshop.

In the early morning of the next day, Midi did not refine the potion, nor did he practice. Instead, he walked directly to the mechanical workshop with a pair of dark circles under his eyes.

With the identity of a senior alchemist, no guards will stop Midi. Besides, his fame and his conspicuous human identity in the past few days have attracted a lot of attention along the way.

The person in charge of the mechanical workshop is also a master alchemist, and even knows Midi, but obviously, he is quite puzzled by this colleague coming here.

"Midi Asrex, this is your name, right?" The master alchemist glanced at Midi, with no joy, anger, sorrow or joy in his expression, "In the past few days, you have kept the Death Scorpion Make a storm."

"In the Underdark Region, one should show one's strength, I think so." Midi replied calmly, "Are you Master Buck?"

"Exactly." Buck nodded, "Master Midi, what is your business here?"

With a few indifferent words and the prying of psychic powers, Midi can roughly judge that this Master Buck has no hostility towards him, but of course, it can't be said that he has any good intentions.

Quite frankly, this is a technical madman, more similar to Master Norton, and Buck, who was born as a member of the Death Scorpion family, must have a much more arrogant temper than Norton, who was down and out in his early years.

However, this is not a problem for Midi, or in other words, in his opinion, such a technical madman is the easiest target to capture.

"Master Barker, I have an unfeeling request." Midi smiled, rubbed the dark circles under her eyes due to the intensive use of her brain all night, and then pushed a stack of drawings in front of the other party.

"This is?" Buck's eyes swept away, and finally his eyes changed.

"My friend is a wandering gunslinger. He once described to me some of his ideal equipment, and he wants to use it in the next selection of Menzoberranzan fighters." Midi explained, "Because I I also know a little about mechanics, so I drew some simple sketches based on his ideas."

"I see." Buck nodded.

It's not like this master has never seen a situation like this.

There are always some professionals with great ideas or characteristics who will need special equipment. They are either good at drawing a little bit, or they are like Midi, but in the final analysis, the sketches must be turned into professional mechanical design drawings , and then manufacture and assemble the parts, still need a mechanical master to do it.

This Midi obviously begged for him.

However, the mechanical workshop of the Death Scorpion is so easy to ask for?
Buck was too lazy to look at the drawings, but was just thinking about how to say no to his newly rising colleague.

But the next moment, what Midi took out from his arms made him swallow the words forcefully.

It was a rare sixth-order potion, hot silver potion.

This potion is neither a combat auxiliary potion nor a level potion, but a bottle of alchemy potion.

As long as there is this bottle of potion, many metal materials that are difficult to fuse together can be easily smelted, and then combined into rare alloy materials.

In other words, it is a substance similar to fusion agent and catalyst.

For a profession like an alchemist who doesn't fight all the year round, the level exists only to provide more magic power during alchemy, so ordinary potions can't attract such people at all.

But obviously, Midi's bottle of potion was exactly what he wanted, so he had no way of refusing it.

"I know that Master Buck is in an important position and must be very busy at ordinary times. Please accept this bottle of potion if you are in trouble this time." A smile appeared on the corner of Midi's mouth.

Just by seeing the expression on the other side's eyes, he knew that Buck would definitely not reject him.

"Since it's Master Midi's request, I will naturally do my best here." Master Barker hastily hid the bottle of hot silver potion in his arms, rolled his eyes and said, "But I'm ugly to say, If the design itself is too wild and unconstrained..."

"If that's the case, then it's up to me to dispel my friend's unrealistic thoughts." Midi replied immediately.

Buck finally nodded.

After seeing off Midi, the master alchemist returned to his workshop, and then slowly opened the stack of sketches.

"This human said that he knows a thing or two about mechanics, so let me see his level." He murmured in a condescending tone, and Buck casually glanced at the sketch.

The next moment, his vision completely froze.
