People in Mondstadt, starting to develop black technology

Then Albedo curiously asked: "What is the purpose of your research on energy shields? Is it also to protect ordinary people from monsters?"

"No." Shen Qin was a little embarrassed. "After being kidnapped by the abyss last time, I just wanted to make something to protect myself."

"I see."

The topic ended here and they quickly focused on business.

Albedo took 20 grams of synthetic material powder, heated it into liquid, and regularly added amethyst block powder, dried star mushroom powder, and luminous marrow in different proportions into it. He then stirred them thoroughly, and finally, when it solidified but was still red, he put it into the water boiled with the Fiery Flower to quench it.

"呲-"

As a large amount of water vapor was generated, the new synthetic material cooled down rapidly. Half a minute later, Albedo took it out of the water and put it back in the flame for tempering.

After the tempering process was completed, he put the new block of synthetic material aside to cool, took another 20 grams of synthetic material powder, and carried out a new round of mixing.

"He is trying different ratios. We have just calculated the approximate ratio, but it needs to be adjusted slowly according to the actual situation." Shatang explained to Shen Qin.

This is the daily routine of an alchemist doing alchemical experiments, which is completely different from the situation where Shen Qin directly obtained the complete blueprint as before.

One is to know the approximate range of the answer and need to verify the results within the range, and the other is to get the correct answer directly by cheating.

Albedo made five pieces of synthetic materials in a row. At this time, the first one had cooled to room temperature. Albedo manipulated it to float in the air and injected elemental power into it.

Ten seconds later, with a loud "bang", the synthetic material exploded into powder in the air.

"The instantaneous maximum energy it can withstand is approximately five electrical crystals connected in parallel." Albedo accurately expressed the magnitude of the energy in words that Shen Qin could understand.

"Six and a half."

"Nine dollars."

"Seven dollars."

"Eight and a half."

The first batch of five synthetic materials were all unqualified. According to Shen Qin's design, the instantaneous energy must reach the level of twenty electrical crystals connected in parallel to withstand the ordinary attacks of leader-level monsters or the full-force attacks of elite-level monsters.

In order to speed up efficiency, Shen Qin also added sugar to the alloy ratio experiment.

Looking at the three busy people, Klee put the dinner she bought from the Deer Hunter on the table and sighed: Who is the child after all? Why does Klee still need to take care of them?

"It's time to eat!"

The three of them quickly finished their dinner and continued with their experiment.

The next morning, Shatang was taking a nap in the guest room when she suddenly heard excited voices coming from the workshop outside.

"Twenty-three and a half dollars! It's three and a half dollars more than the design standard!" Albedo wrote down the correct ratio on paper.

Shen Qin looked excited: "Then let's strike while the iron is hot and make an energy shield without energy first?"

"Okay, I've seen the drawings. You want to make it into a bracelet, right? I'll take care of the physical structure, and you'll be responsible for the intelligent system."

"No problem!" Shen Qin rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start making the micro terminal embedded in the bracelet.

"You two haven't slept all night, right? It's almost dawn now! Aren't you afraid that your bodies can't take it?" Shatang stood at the door of the guest room with her hands on her hips, looking angrily.

The two boys looked at each other, and the excitement they had just felt disappeared by a large margin.

At this time, Shen Qin really felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he said to Albedo: "Let's take a break first, get enough energy and then finish the rest of the work in one go. If you are not focused, it will easily cause the operation to be distorted.

Sugar watched them go back to their room to rest before nodding with satisfaction, then went to the workbench to organize things.

When Shen Qin and Albedo woke up, it was lunch time. After eating, the three of them continued to work without stopping.

It only took Shen Qin one afternoon to write the intelligent system, and then he joined Shatang and his team to create the physical structure.

It wasn't until the next morning that the energy shield bracelet was finally completed.

The energy shield bracelet (semi-finished product) is two centimeters wide and one centimeter thick. It is silver-white in color with light blue patterns on it.

In fact, those light blue lines are the extension of the energy converter with a new type of magic crystal synthetic material as the core. Their function is to release energy to the outside of the bracelet to support the shield.

There is only a circular opening with a diameter of one centimeter on one side of the bracelet. Several thin cables connect the bracelet to the parallel energy system composed of twenty electrical crystals through the opening.

"The energy shield bracelet, or defense bracelet for short, has a default mode of forming a shield with a diameter of five meters. Once the system detects an energy attack that is powerful enough to injure a person, it will automatically release negative energy to eliminate the energy attack."

"Its second mode is the repulsion mode, which automatically releases high-intensity energy streams to isolate enemies and physical attacks. The shield diameter is also five meters. By default, these two modes are turned on at the same time to resist all energy and physical attacks. The energy consumed at this time is in standard units."

"In addition, it also has an overclocking mode that can expand the diameter of the shield in the default mode and repulsion mode to ten meters. It can be regarded as a group defense function, but the energy consumed is four times that of the standard unit!"

Shen Qin explained the functions of the defense bracelet to everyone.

"Let me be the experimenter and test its function in practice." Albedo put on the bulky parallel energy system, put on the bracelet, turned on its defense function, and then signaled to Sucrose and Klee, "You come to attack me, remember to slowly increase the intensity of the attack."

Sucrose manipulated the wind element to create a breeze. At this time, the shield did not work. The breeze blew Albedo's hair and clothes, but when the wind was strong enough, a translucent energy shield appeared in front of him, blocking all the wind.

Klee also used fire elements to condense into a bouncing bomb and threw it at him, but it was instantly eliminated by the shield.

Shen Qin picked up a piece of iron ore and threw it heavily at the shield. The moment it touched the shield, it lost all forward momentum and fell straight down.

Albedo picked up the iron ore, examined it carefully and said, "The part of the iron ore that touched the shield was shaved off a thin layer. It seems that the shield also has a small function of destroying the enemy's weapons or injuring the enemy's body."

Next they tested the overclocking mode, but it was limited to the instantaneous energy limit of twenty electrical crystals, so the effect was not ideal.

It seems that solving the energy problem is urgent.

Albedo pondered for a moment and said to Shen Qin: "I have an idea."

Chapter 50: The Practical Effect of the Defense Bracelet

"Do you know the Ruin Guards? They have been left in various corners of Teyvat since the fall of Kanrea five hundred years ago. They are still able to function normally today, relying on the 'Chaos Core' inside that is said to never extinguish. When they enter combat mode, the instantaneous energy consumed is also very huge. I think we can find inspiration from the Chaos Core."

This is the suggestion made by Albedo.

Shen Qin certainly knew about Ruin Guards and the existence of Chaos Cores. However, in the world of Teyvat, Ruin Guards were considered relatively powerful elite monsters, with a combat power similar to that of Abyss Mages. Ordinary adventurers were basically no match for them, and Chaos Cores were not materials that could be easily obtained.

Albedo added: "But I have been studying more about the alchemy of 'life'. I don't have a ready-made Chaos Core, so I have to go outside Mondstadt to find one. I happen to know an area where Ruin Guards are lurking, so why don't we set off now?"

"Eh? Should we let Shen Qin leave the city? What if the Abyss Cult wants to attack him..." said Sandang worriedly.

"It's okay. I'm here this time and I will protect him." Albedo said calmly, his words full of confidence.

He does have this ability, and he might even be the strongest fighter in Mond at the moment.

"Kelly will definitely protect Brother Shen Qin well this time!" Kelly promised seriously.

Sister Sucrose, brother Albedo, and brother Shen Qin, these three are people she likes very much. She would be very happy if she could go out for an outing with them!

Shen Qin comforted Sandang: "Sandang, it's okay. The last time something happened, it was because no one expected it, so they let down their guard. And I also need to test the effect of the defense bracelet in actual combat as an ordinary person."

"Okay! But once you leave Mondstadt, you must always activate the defense function of your bracelet!"

Sucrose finally compromised, but they could not set off immediately. With the lessons learned from the previous experience, Shen Qin needed to report to the Knights Templar before leaving Mondstadt.

"You're going to Mingguan Gorge? What a coincidence, we're just on the way. A knight discovered traces of the Abyss Cult there, and we're just about to set out to investigate." Qin said in surprise, "In that case, let's go together, so we can take care of each other on the way."

Everyone was happy to be able to go together, except Klee, who was unhappy because Jean would also be going along, which meant she couldn't play as she pleased!

"This time I have made up my mind to eradicate the minions of the Abyss Cult in Mondstadt and make their conspiracy fail. I'm afraid I will need your help later." Jean said to Albedo.

"Okay, after I help Shen Qin make the defensive bracelet, I will come to the Knights to assist you."

"Defense bracelet? Is this his next new invention? Can you tell me about it in detail?" Qin asked with interest.

"Whether the research and development can be successful depends on what we gain this time..."

While the two of them were chatting, Shen Qin was observing the investigation team. He noticed that there were six scholars in the team. They should be the main force of the investigation, and the twenty knights accompanying them were there to protect them.

And this time it was actually worth Qin's personal leadership, it seemed that there must be some major discoveries.

"You must be Shen Qin, the inventor of the flying skateboard. This thing is really good!" An older scholar talked to Shen Qin. "In the past, when we went to Mingguan Gorge to do business, it took us three or four days to go back and forth. With the flying skateboard, we can basically go there and come back on the same day. It's so convenient!"

"Yes, and it can help us avoid many dangers in the wild. The only thing we need to worry about is whether we will hit the cute little sparrows because we fly too fast!" Another scholar also said with a smile.

The long journey was completed while they talked and laughed, and soon they arrived at a fork in the road. Albedo took Shen Qin and the others to leave the investigation team to hunt the ruins guards, and made an appointment with Jean to return to Mondstadt together later.

This is a very deep canyon. Standing on the top of the canyon and looking down, all you can see is blurry darkness.

Albedo looked at everyone and said, "There is a whole area of ​​ruins under the canyon. There are about two or three ruins guards inside. Fortunately, the distance between them is large, so when fighting one, we will not attract attacks from the other two."

"Our target is the ruins guard on the easternmost side. There is a safe platform above it. You stay on that platform while I take care of it."

Sugar was surprised and asked, "Hey! You don't need our help? Wouldn't it be too much for you to do it alone?"

"I am enough on my own. Your and Ke Li's mission is to protect Shen Qin. Let's go, let's make quick work of this."

Everyone followed him and flew down the canyon. Sure enough, there was a platform of ruins in the middle of the canyon, but there was actually a camp of Hilichurls stationed there.

Albedo raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Qin: "It just so happens that you might as well test the defense bracelet in actual combat here, and we will support you."

"Okay." Shen Qin was naturally very confident in his invention and immediately rushed into the camp.

"Be careful!" Shatang stared at Shen Qin nervously, with a faint wind element surrounding him.

Klee also took out two bombs from her backpack and held them in her hands.

"Ya dala? (Who are you?)" The hillman closest to Shen Qin was startled by his sudden appearance and looked at him with his head tilted.

"Kundala! (There is an enemy!)" a hillick archer shouted and shot an arrow at him, but the arrow lost its kinetic energy and fell to the ground when it touched the shield.

At this time, the hillbilly closest to him finally reacted, rushed over with clenched fists and wanted to hit him, but bumped into the invisible shield, and some flesh on its body was worn away, causing it to jump around in pain.

Some fire slimes were thrown out as bombs, and some hillbillies carrying torches rushed up, but none of this could affect Shen Qin who was inside the shield.

"It looks like the shield is quite stable." Shen Qin looked at the Hillilman who was scratching his head outside the shield and had no way to deal with him, and nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Sugar suddenly shouted: "Watch out behind you!"

He turned around quickly and saw a huge shadow covering his head.

With a light "bang" sound, the giant axe hit the shield, causing only some ripples, and then it slid down the shield to the ground together with its owner.

It turned out to be a hill thug!

The shield had worn off some of its flesh, but it didn't care and used the Fire Slime to add fire elemental enchantment to the axe blade, then chopped at the shield again.

Shen Qin took a half step back out of fear, but finally chose to stand still. He believed in the defensive bracelet he made.

This shield can withstand the full force attack of elite monsters, and the Hilliard Thug is considered a relatively weak one among elite monsters, so there is absolutely no pressure in defending against its attack!

The axe blade lost its kinetic energy when it hit the shield and fell, causing the Hilliard thug to stagger a step. He then angrily launched a series of attacks on the shield, but did not notice that the axe blade had been worn out and became very dull.

Albedo in the sky said, "Alright, it seems the bracelet's basic performance is fully up to standard. Klee, Sucrose, unleash your attacks on the platform below and clear out the enemies."

Poor Shen Qin couldn't hear the noise above because of the roar of the hillbillies. When he looked up, he was caught off guard to see Sucrose's wind magic and Klee's bomb falling down at the same time. He was so scared that his legs started shaking.

He squatted on the ground and covered his ears, watching in horror as a violent explosion exploded outside the shield. The strong wind swept the flames into a blazing fire dragon, sweeping away the monsters on the platform.

That arrogant Hill Culvert thug was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the fire dragon and was shattered at the slightest tear.

Hey, hey! These two girls are too violent!

The flames dissipated, the strong wind subsided, and the three people above landed on the platform and saw the embarrassed Shen Qin inside the shield.

Chapter 51: Dilemma! The Abyss Cult's Attack

"Hey! What you are doing is too dangerous! What if you accidentally hurt me?" Shen Qin looked at them angrily.

Sandang stuck out her tongue and didn't dare to look at him, while Keli folded her arms and asked seriously: "Brother Shen Qin, don't you want to believe Keli?"

"what?"

"Don't you want to believe that Klee won't explode you?"

Faced with Kelly's questioning, he scratched his head, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"They are all excellent knights in the Knights Templar, and you should choose to believe in them. And you are an excellent alchemist, so you should also believe in your own alchemical inventions." Albedo looked at him with a smile.

"Yes, it was Mr. Albedo who asked us to do this!" Candy threw the pot away.

Then the smile on Albedo's face froze. Facing Shen Qin's strange look, he chose to ignore it and said calmly: "It was just a little joke. Their attack just now did not reach the upper limit of the shield."

"I didn't expect Mr. Albedo also likes to make such jokes." Shen Qin smiled wryly.

"Sometimes alchemy is quite boring. I just want to add some interesting flavor to my life." Albedo stepped on the skateboard. "Then I'm going to deal with the ruins guard. You guys just stay on the platform and watch. Its search range doesn't cover here."
