People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

"Boom-"

Shen Qin gently hit Keli on the head: "Don't you think you've caused enough trouble for others?"

Then he looked at Diona: "It's Klee's fault this time. If you don't mind, I will give you a small gift later as an apology."

"No, no!" Diona waved her hands and looked at the innocent Keli. "The child didn't do it on purpose. If Mr. Shen Qin has nothing else to do, I will go home and rest first."

"Well, I wish you a good dream tonight."

Klee also waved to her: "Goodbye, Sister Diona!"

"Mr. Shen Qin, little Keli, goodbye." Diona said goodbye to them seriously.

On the way home, Keli felt a little sleepy, so Shen Qin carried her on his back and asked her to close her eyes and sleep. But as soon as she climbed onto his back, she didn't want to sleep anymore, and kept muttering, "Sister Diona's tail is so soft, as soft as Dudu's."

"But Dudu can't move on his own, but Sister Diona can wag her tail on her own."

"Oh! I wish Klee had a little kitty like Sister Diona."

"But Klee doesn't want to raise a real kitten, because kittens will poop..."

As he was talking, the little guy fell asleep.

Shen Qin and Shatang looked at each other, feeling helpless.

Sugar said, "Actually, I made some moving toys for Klee before, but they could only perform some simple movements according to my preset programs, and she quickly lost interest in them."

"How about we make a fun little toy for Keli?" Shen Qin said with a smile, "Sometimes we get busy and don't have time to accompany her. If she has a friend to accompany her, maybe she won't be so bored."

"Sure, I'll find the toys I made for her before, and we can work together to design new toys."

"Then it's settled. Once the energy shield we are researching is completed, we will start working on it right away." Shen Qin quickened his pace. "Hey! Let's go home quickly. I drank a little too much today. I want to go to bed right away."

Satang looked at their backs and suddenly started to have all sorts of random thoughts in her mind.

The three of them really seem like a family now, living and working in the same place, with mom and dad playing with their lovely daughter and making interesting toys for her...

No, no! She shook her head vigorously, her cheeks turned red, and she felt ashamed of her thoughts.

I'm just interested in his alchemical research, I don't like him!

"Sugar, please walk faster. I'm very sleepy." His voice came from the front.

"Come, come!" She followed him with a flushed face.

……

When Shen Qin got up the next day, he still had a headache. The aftereffects of the foreign liquor were indeed quite strong.

He came to the alchemy workshop and found that only Klee was playing there, and Sucrose was not there.

"Keli, where is Sister Sugar?"

"Sister Sugar left in the morning. She said she had something to do and won't be coming to the alchemy workshop for the next few days."

"Well, it seems that I'm the only one studying the energy shield today." Shen Qin stretched, sat down at the workbench and started his work.

But the results were predictable. There was no progress when he was with Sucrose, and it was even harder for him to come up with anything when he was alone.

After working hard for two days in a row, his dark circles under his eyes have become much darker.

On this day, when Shen Qin was numbly repeating the material experiment, he suddenly heard Ke Li shout happily:

"Brother Abedo!"

He looked up and saw Klee throwing herself into the arms of a blond boy.

"Shen Qin, let me introduce you. This is the chief alchemist of the Knights Templar, Mr. Albedo." Sucrose brought Albedo to Shen Qin.

"Hello, Mr. Shen Qin. I went on a long trip some time ago. I didn't expect that when I came back, there would be a genius alchemist in Mondstadt. Nice to meet you." Albedo was polite and spoke in a gentle manner.

"Hello, hello!" Shen Qin held his hands enthusiastically. He was worried that no one would help him research energy shields. "Mr. Albedo, are you free recently? I have a research project that has reached a bottleneck. If you don't mind, could you help me take a look?"

"Shen Qin!" Sandang suddenly got angry and said angrily, "Did you forget something important?"

Shen Qin looked confused: "What's the important thing?"

Sucrose ignored him and turned to look at Albedo: "I'll trouble you to check his body!"

Albedo glanced at Sucrose, then turned his gaze to Shen Qin, as if he had noticed something.

He smiled and said, "I just returned to Mondstadt and found Sugar waiting for me in the laboratory on the snowy mountain. She wanted me to check you to see if you have been affected by the power of the abyss. There is no rush for research, why don't we do the check first? So Sugar won't have to worry about you all the time."

"So that's what happened. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about it. Anyway, I haven't felt any discomfort recently." Shen Qin scratched his head. "In that case, I'll trouble Mr. Albedo."

"You don't have to call me sir, just Albedo."

Albedo let Shen Qin lie flat on the bed. A faint white light emanated from his hands, and the light turned into small tentacles, floating gently above Shen Qin's body, as if detecting some information.

Half an hour later, the light on his hand dissipated and there was obvious fatigue on his face.

"How is it? How is it?" asked Sugar nervously.

Klee also looked at him seriously. Although she didn't understand what the abyss represented, she just had to follow Sister Sucrose.

"There is no breath of the abyss in his body, and his memory and self-awareness have not changed, but—"

"But what?!" Sugar's heart was in knots.

Albedo smiled and said, "His physical fitness is not even at the average level of ordinary people. It may be because he has been staying in the alchemy workshop to do research and does not exercise regularly. I suggest that if you have nothing to do, you should go out for exercise more often. You can't study alchemy without a good body!"

Sugar breathed a sigh of relief.

Keli came to Shen Qin, with her hands on her hips: "Keli usually asks Brother Shen Qin to accompany Keli to play more, but you didn't listen to Keli. Now you know you are wrong!"

"Anyway, you can't always bury your head in research. You have to go out and move around occasionally." Sucrose and Klee stand on the same side.

Shen Qin looked at her helplessly: "Who prefers to stay in the alchemy workshop and not go out?"

Chapter 48: The Trinity Alchemical System

Shen Qin made a bitter face: "This is the current situation. This thing is still lacking a very high-strength material and a high-density energy source. Sugar and I have been stuck here for more than ten days and there has been no progress at all."

"Don't worry, I'll study your previous alchemical products first." Albedo said calmly, "When I was still outside, I heard about flying skateboards and bionic prostheses, but I didn't understand how they worked. Can you let me learn about them first?"

"No problem." Shen Qin and Shatang brought all the drawings and materials in front of him.

Both of them were looking forward to his help in the research of energy shields, because in their hearts, he was the real alchemy master.

Sucrose originally followed Albedo to learn alchemy as an assistant, but Shen Qin understood that his advantages were only some advanced drawings and techniques. In terms of accumulated experience and vision, ten of him could compare to Albedo.

But he didn't know that Albedo was just as shocked when he looked at those drawings and materials.

Just the terminal, the alchemy used on it was something completely unfamiliar to him. It was not quite right to say that it was completely unfamiliar, at least when he deduced the process from the result, he could connect it with the alchemy he had learned.

When he saw the drawings of the flying skateboard and bionic prosthesis, he was completely attracted to them. The most amazing thing about them was not the certain technologies they used, but that they represented a new and complete alchemical system.

The three functional modules of energy, structure and intelligent system are combined together to achieve the effect of one plus one plus one being greater than three.

Although skateboards and prostheses are two completely different alchemical products, their alchemical systems are exactly the same, and all components can be divided into three functional modules: energy, structure, and system.

Even pushing forward to the terminal, it can be attributed to this ternary alchemical system.

Teyvat's current alchemical system was developed based on the incomplete system left over after the demise of Kanrea, but the triune alchemical system has completely broken away from the influence of Kanrea.

"Can you show me the blueprint of the energy shield?" Albedo asked.

"Sure!" Shen Qin's eyes lit up and he immediately gave him the relevant information. What he was looking forward to now was his help!

Albedo took a rough look at the drawings and understood that the energy shield also followed the rules of the ternary alchemy system.

"You are a genius." He praised Shen Qin.

Shen Qin was puzzled. Why did he suddenly start praising himself out of the blue?

Albedo didn't explain too much and said directly: "I roughly understand the situation. I already have an idea about the material problem. Maybe we can make a prototype first to see its energy consumption, and then consider the energy problem."

"We thought so too, but we're stuck at the materials stage." Sugar sighed. She was not very good at material research.

"It's okay. Let me solve this problem." Albedo glanced at the alchemy workshop and asked, "Can I use everything in here?"

"Use them as you like. If it's not enough, I'll have someone send another batch over." Shen Qin waved his hand, not caring at all.

With the share of the flying skateboard and bionic prosthesis in hand, he is now one of the richest people in Mond. He does not need to consider the cost of consumables during the research and development process. He is no longer the pauper who has to borrow money from Klee's Alchemy Workshop to make a terminal.

Albedo checked the existing materials in the alchemy workshop, wrote down the materials that needed to be supplemented on a piece of paper and handed it to him, and also gave him a formula for synthesizing the materials.

"Give this formula to Wagner in the blacksmith shop and ask him to help me process a batch of synthetic materials according to the requirements."

Leaving Sucrose to help Albedo, Shen Qin went to the blacksmith shop alone.

"Something?" Wagner held the embryo with a tool in his left hand, and swung a big hammer with his right hand, hitting it regularly.

Shen Qin knew Wagner's personality. As long as he focused on refining equipment, he didn't like to talk much and tended to communicate with others in the simplest words.

"I need this." Shen Qin placed the recipe next to him.

He took a look and said, "I'm short of two kilograms of magic crystals. Bring them to me and I'll start working."

"Okay." Shen Qin turned and left.

"Wait." Wagner suddenly called out to him, "Are you Shen Qin?"

"Yes, anything else?"

"My apprentice Griffith lost his finger two years ago after it was burned. He just got a prosthetic hand a week ago. Thank you."

Shen Qin was stunned and said with a smile: "You're welcome."

He couldn't remember how many people had thanked him. Ever since he launched his bionic prosthesis, whenever he walked in Mondstadt, there would always be people thanking him, and sometimes they would give him a bag of rice or flour. Sucrose joked that he was going out to buy supplies every time he went out.

He went from being panic-stricken at the beginning to being able to accept it calmly now, because this might make those people happier.

The next destination is the Adventurer's Guild. Magic crystals are relatively scarce, so we still have to go through their channels.

"Mr. Shen Qin, welcome to the Adventurer's Association!" Kaiser was very happy to see him and asked him with a smile, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hello, Miss Catherine. I'm here to issue a commission. I need two kilograms of magic crystals."

"We happen to have some magic crystals in our association's inventory. I'll arrange for someone to get them for you right away."

Shen Qin blinked his eyes and said, "What a coincidence! That's good too. It saves me the time of waiting for the adventurer to complete the commission."

"Do you need any other materials?" Catherine asked.

"Well, can you help me see if the association has these materials? If they do, I won't have to run around the city." Shen Qin handed her the note written by Albedo.

The materials used in alchemical research are very diverse, including fruits, minerals, plants, metals, etc., so you have to go to different stores every time to buy them, which is very troublesome.

Catherine glanced at the materials on the note and nodded affirmatively: "All these materials are available. I'll have someone bring them over right away."

"Okay, thank you for your help. How much Mora do I need to pay in total?"

Catherine smiled and said, "Mr. Shen Qin, these materials are provided to you free of charge."

"What?" Shen Qin stopped taking Mora out of his pocket.

"Because this is our Adventurer Association's way of thanking you!" Seleus suddenly appeared beside him, smiling and extending his hand to him, "Mr. Shen Qin's bionic prosthesis has saved hundreds of disabled adventurers. I have wanted to express my gratitude to you in person for a long time, but you never seem to have the time. So I came up with this method. Once you come to the association to publish the materials, we will provide you with the materials for free."

"I accept your words of thanks." Shen Qin shook hands with Serius, "But these materials are too expensive. I'd better buy them with Mora. After all, they were also brought back from the wild by adventurers with great effort."

“If you let adventurers know that you need these materials, some will rush to do it even if they have to pay for it.” Serius said with emotion, “You may not understand the significance of bionic prostheses to them. Every disabled adventurer will be reborn because of it and regain confidence in life and adventure!”

Chapter 49 Energy Shield Bracelet! But a half-finished product

Shen Qin was finally persuaded by Seleucus and accepted the magic crystal blocks and other materials. Seleucus also sent people to help him move the materials back to the alchemy workshop.

At his insistence, Seleucus agreed to cooperate with him and would provide him with various alchemical materials at market prices.

After bringing the magic crystal back to the blacksmith shop, Wagner immediately handed the work to his apprentice and personally helped Shen Qin make two and a half kilograms of synthetic material powder. In the end, he did not accept his Mora.

"Leave any work to me in the future. I guarantee it will be done quickly and well." Wagner said in a muffled voice, and then went back to his work.

Shen Qin returned to the alchemy workshop. It only took him three hours to buy materials. Even Albedo was a little surprised. After listening to what happened along the way, he sighed: "Sugar just told me that the direction of your research on alchemy products is different from that of most alchemists. You often pay more attention to their impact on ordinary people. Let more people benefit from alchemy. Perhaps this is the essence of alchemy when it was first born."
