Chapter 3784: Concrete Version Manufacturing Machine
After leaving the workshop in Naples, Ingres felt relieved of the heavy burden in his heart.
Now, with the chip manufacturing machine, he should be free and no longer have to stay in the embryo factory.
Although the current chip manufacturing machines have not yet reached a 100% enchantment rate, it is only a matter of time; moreover, the chip manufacturing machines with an enchantment rate of more than 90% that he left in the workshop are already capable of doing part of the work.
Even though he was already a "free man", Ingres did not choose to leave immediately.
Firstly, he would focus on Dream Crystal Origin first. Dream Crystal Origin can be landed anywhere, no matter where.
Secondly, and the most important reason... he is still waiting for Algarron's "Phantom Metal" Olha Steel.
So, I can’t leave yet and have to stay here for now.
……
After returning to the illusion hut.
Angel did not enter the Dream Crystal Origin directly, but sat aside and stretched out his hand.
A large amount of nightmare power surged out from the fingertips.
Under Angel's control, these nightmare powers turned into glass crystal balls at one moment and bright lights at another...
If Laplace were awake, he would find that all the things that Ingres was creating were actually concrete objects with a sense of mystery.
The reason why Ingres created concrete objects was that he suddenly thought of something.
The chip manufacturing machine he made today was actually very easy to make; he was thinking, could this simple alchemical tool be created through "fantasy alchemy"?
If he could create it, it would mean that he had already started learning fantasy alchemy.
Ingres was very experimental with his own conceived and original "utopian alchemy".
Even though he knew that time was tight and the second round of main missions in Modern City was about to enter the countdown, he still wanted to take some time to verify his ideas.
As Angel continued to transform various objects, he pondered the idea of fantasy alchemy in his mind: "The core of fantasy alchemy lies in the mysterious objects created by nightmares. This is relatively simple for me."
Currently, only Angel can achieve the core elements of fantasy alchemy. Even Sanders, with the help of the nightmare stone, cannot create mysterious concrete objects.
In a sense, mysterious objects belong to Ingres's talent.
Just like extrasensory perception, it is a talent that Angel created himself by combining the myriad of mysterious auras he observed inside the Dalmatian.
It is with this "talent" that he can perform fantasy alchemy.
"The difficulty lies in how to combine the concrete objects created by fantasy alchemy, and how to bring out the effects of the concrete objects?"
If it were normal alchemy, Angel could make the refined items exert magical effects by engraving magic patterns and magic energy arrays.
But fantasy alchemy cannot currently achieve this.
The main reason is that... the concrete objects created by fantasy alchemy cannot carry the enchanted elements.
"Why can't it carry enchantments?" Angell said, "Or is it that the combination of concrete objects can only be achieved through means such as 'blending'?"
However, the core of the alchemical school of blending lies in the fusion and matching of materials.
By fusing materials of different natures, the required characteristics can be adjusted.
As for the imaginary concrete objects, even if Ingres "fused" them together, he could not reconcile their internal characteristics.
Because they have no characteristics within themselves, their existence comes from "pan-mystery".
What is "pan-mystical"? It means that it is somewhat related to mystery, but it is not mystery.
This kind of pan-mystery cannot be blended; or, at least with Angel's current level of alchemy, he is unable to blend any "pan-mystery".
Then what should be done?
"Perhaps, we should go back to enchantment." Angel looked at his hand. He had just used the art of imagination to create a glass ball not long ago.
This glass ball looks very similar to the processed "demon skull".
In other words, the appearance is that of a processed demon skull.
However, its essence is completely different from the skull of the demon. It is just an imaginary concrete object and does not have the inherent properties of the material.
Looking at this "fantasy skull", Ingres took out the carving brush and tried to carve magic patterns on it.
But unfortunately, it failed.
He tried again, directly imagining a demon skull with "magic patterns", but it still didn't work...
It seems that the path of enchantment is not the destination of utopian alchemy.
However, Angel certainly wouldn't give up so easily.
He was not good at blending, so the only option available to him was enchanting.
"How about changing the idea?" Angel fell into deep thought for a long time before saying, "Since the real carving brush cannot carve magic patterns on concrete objects, what if I imagine a carving brush to create a concrete object?"
"Can a carving brush created from imagination carve magic patterns on concrete objects?"
With this idea in mind, Ingres began to verify...
……
the other side.
After Naples distributed the task of refining hoses, he left the workshop excitedly.
He originally thought about finding some materials to refine the hose, but in the end he decided not to rush into it... He planned to take the "chip manufacturing machine" left by Angel to the warehouse first.
These dozens of chip manufacturing machines were all made by Angel when he was doing experiments before.
The vast majority of enchantment rates are above 90%.
At the very least, there is a 60% enchantment rate.
In Naples' opinion, this was already usable. While others were refining the hoses, he planned to take these chip manufacturing machines to the warehouse and use them for a while.
When Naples arrived at the warehouse, he planned to find a few idle puppets to control the chip manufacturing machine.
When passing through the corridor, he unexpectedly discovered that Angel was still in Warehouse No. 38.
This is where Angle tested the first chip manufacturing machine.
Moreover, Angel was holding a chip manufacturing machine in his hand, and it seemed that he was...testing?
"Sir, have you started refining again?" Naples walked forward curiously.
Hadn't Angel already given him the task of refining the hose?
Why is he still refining the hose in private and starting a new round of testing?
Looking at this scene, Napoli was inexplicably moved. Ingres was simply a model worker. I thought he was just being a hands-off boss, but in fact, he was not resting in private!
I misunderstood!
Napoli felt guilty and walked to Angel to look at the test results of the "chip manufacturing machine" together.
At this time, the "stars" floating above the embryo pile had lost their brilliance. There was no doubt that the test was over.
"Sir, what is the success rate this time...?"
Angel was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Less than 30%."
"The enchantment success rate is less than 30%? It seems that we have failed again this time..." Napoli sighed and looked at the chip manufacturing machine that flew back to Angel's hand: "By the way, what material is this hose made of? Why is it so low?"
Naples tried to find out the source of the material in order to avoid trouble.
Angel did not answer, but murmured to himself: "Failure? It's not a failure, it's just that it's not a complete success."
Naples: “???”
Angel didn't seem to pay attention to Naples. He took the "chip manufacturing machine" and left the warehouse while talking to himself.
Completely immersed in your own world.
Naples: “…” You haven’t told me what the material is?
Moreover, you considered your previous enchantment rate of 98% to be a failure; as a result, this time the enchantment rate of less than 30% was defined by you as "not a complete success."
What's going on?
Napoli shook his head, feeling confused, but ultimately did not chase after him. Instead, he continued to look for a free puppet...
Angel returned to the illusion hut with a chip manufacturing machine with a 30% enchantment rate.
This chip manufacturing machine...
It was he who created it with his fantasy alchemy.
This is why he considered the 30% enchantment rate to be "not a complete success."
This "pseudo-alchemical item" was created without using any materials, only by imagination. The fact that it can be used and has an enchantment rate of 30% is already a success in Angel's opinion.
but……
This imaginary chip manufacturing machine was not actually made by Angel using the "enchantment" method.
It is made in a very tricky way.
However, this trick is not particularly ideal.
Before this, Angel was thinking whether he could create a carving pen out of thin air to depict the magic pattern.
The final result is: No.
Even if the carving pen is a concrete object, it is impossible to carve magic patterns on the same concrete object.
This made Ingres very frustrated and helpless.
He was even ready to stop thinking about fantasy alchemy for the time being, and instead log into the Dream Crystal Origin to do "real business".
But just as he was about to step onto the "Dream Bridge", he suddenly thought of an unconventional way.
Since blending and enchantment don’t work, is it possible to directly inject the “existing effects” into the concrete work?
What is “existing effect”?
For example, a chip manufacturing machine has the function of enchanting the embryo.
So if we extract the effect of this chip manufacturing machine and inject it into a concrete object, can that object possess the abilities of an alchemical tool?
It sounds confusing, but it's actually quite simple to operate.
Ingres has an item: the Extraordinary Extractor, which can extract extraordinary effects.
However, generally speaking, the extraordinary extractor is used to extract the extraordinary effects of a single magic material, and it is more difficult to extract the effects of alchemical items.
However, the "chip manufacturing machine" is a low-level alchemical item. It has no alchemical signs and its effect is relatively weak, which happens to be within the extraction range of the extraordinary extractor.
If you enter the next level, then you really can’t extract it.
Not being able to enter the next level is actually an advantage of the chip manufacturing machine.
So, Angel refined a chip manufacturing machine on the spot, extracted the effect of the manufacturing machine with a super-extractor, and injected it into the "concrete object. Chip manufacturing machine".
The final result has been seen before.
The enchantment rate of 98% on physical objects becomes less than 30% when applied to concrete objects.
In terms of effect, it was undoubtedly a failure. But in Angle's opinion, a 30% enchantment rate was already a success.
Because he had never thought that concrete objects could play a role.
And now, not only has it worked, but the success rate is not too low. How could he not be happy?
Of course, relying on the supernatural extractor to inject supernatural effects into concrete objects can be considered a success, but it is ultimately a crooked approach.
Just think about the cost.
If you want to make a "concrete chip manufacturing machine", you must also make a "physical version chip manufacturing machine" in advance.
Then, wouldn’t it be better to directly manufacture a “physical version of the chip manufacturing machine”?
Of course, from an outsider's perspective, this is definitely not cost-effective, but you have to know that Angel is not considering whether it is cost-effective or not, he is creating a law.
What is the meaning of creating a law? It is to open up a wilderness where no one is, and to walk on an unknown path.
There is no reference method, it is a solitary road.
But it is also the only way to become strong.
It is normal to find that in the early stages of creating a law, expenses will exceed income and the gains will not outweigh the gains.
So, although on the surface it seems a bit superfluous to extract the extraordinary effects of the "physical version of the chip manufacturing machine" while manufacturing the "concrete object chip manufacturing machine", in Ingres's view, this is a good start.
This means that utopian alchemy is possible.
The thing that people fear most is not seeing the light and not getting any reward after hard work. But now, Angle has seen the way forward through this "concrete chip manufacturing machine" with a very low success rate.
Even though using the "Extraordinary Extractor" is not the right way, nor is it the right way for fantasy alchemy, its success is meaningful and represents——
There must be a way to achieve alchemy!
It’s just that Angel hasn’t seen the right start on this road yet.
Angel sat on the sofa in the illusion hut, his eyes sparkling: he knew very well that using the extraordinary extractor was just to verify that there was a way ahead.
Now all he needs to do is find this path.
At present, this road seems to be still hidden; but when Ingres was creating the concrete object just now, he had a vague feeling that the road was just ahead and would be broken with a poke.
In other words, he is very close to the "right path".
But he still wasn't quite sure how to get on the right path.
"Perhaps, a shock of inspiration is needed?" Angel murmured in a low voice.
How to get inspiration? Angel suddenly thought of the clerk he met in the head mirror family shop before: Xi Luo.
The character cards created by Xi Luo allow Angel to experience the perspectives of different ethnic groups as a human being.
This way of looking at the world from another perspective has the opportunity to bring some light of inspiration.
However, this kind of light of inspiration is not controllable, and it is difficult to say whether the inspiration that appears is related to the path of "Utopian Alchemy".
However, it doesn't hurt to try.
Thinking of this, Angel took out the character card of "The Rising Star Standing Proudly on the Top of Mirror Mountain" that he had rented from Xi Luo before.
This card is the first character card created by Xi Luo, and its race is the Head Mirror Clan.
"I wonder if I can get some inspiration from the characters in the head-shot family?"
