Chapter 17 Technical Reserves

To be honest, I didn’t know anything about this magical interference, so I had to ask Noreen. "What is magic interference?"

Noreen answered seriously: "The magic device will interfere with the stability of magic in the surrounding space when it is running. This is not a flaw of the magic equipment itself. In fact, mages also have similar situations during the process of casting spells, and magic circles and magic stones also exist. Similar problems. Basically anything related to magic will interfere with the stability of magic in the space. When a single magician releases magic, it will be fine, but once there are more people, the probability of errors when releasing will increase significantly, and magic equipment gathers A similar situation will occur when there is too much. This is magic interference. But this is not the most important thing. The most important problem lies in the magic superposition."

"Is it difficult to stack magic?"

"Of course." Norin said: "When you want to make a piece of magic equipment, you only need to carve an appropriate magic circle on it. For example, a staff carved with a magic gathering magic circle can speed up the recovery of magic power and improve the release of magic. The speed of magic. This type of magic circle is very easy to create. By analogy, if there is a large piece of equipment with various defensive magic circles carved on it, wouldn't this piece of equipment be invincible? But in fact, that is It's impossible, and the main reason is because of magic superposition. If you carve a defensive solid circle and a power rebound magic circle on a shield, it seems that the shield will become more powerful, but in fact it will be scrapped. Strong defense requires metal The magic power is magic, and the power rebound requires the power magic power, but when these two magic powers are extracted at the same time, entanglement will occur, and the new magic formed after that is called a metal bomb. Your shield will not become stronger, nor will it rebound power. It will blow itself into pieces the moment it is attacked, killing you and the attacker at the same time. This is the worst case of magic interference, stacking and creating a third magic. But don't worry too much, usually the stacking failure will just cause It is rare for two magic circles to fail together and produce unpredictable third-party magic. This is only the use of two magic circles. If a third magic circle appears, it will be even more troublesome. Two magic circles The 'possibility' of compatibility is one-half of two squared, and with three arrays it is one-quarter of three cubed. With n arrays, the success rate is one-quarter of n raised to the nth power. Do you understand?"

"So it's almost impossible to have equipment with multiple attributes?"

"Isn't that true? Don't the equipment on your body have a lot of attributes? High difficulty does not mean zero. The main reason for the difficulty in connecting magic circles is the integration of multi-magic formations. As long as you find a good alchemist. Then By fusing the genealogies of multiple magic circles in advance, even completely opposite magic types such as light and darkness can theoretically be integrated into one magic circle. Of course, the premise is that the magic you fuse itself does not mutate. , the specific content is quite complex. Alchemy is an extremely complex subject, and my father has only studied part of the alchemy knowledge, and I am even more half-assed."

The father Nolin was talking about was of course Master Jiaha. That old pervert could create a demon doll like Nolin, which was considered a god-level alchemist, but he only said he had researched part of it. It seems that this knowledge is really profound!

The Ghost King also joined our conversation and said: "The key to overlaying magic formations is actually to find a suitable fusion plan, and the direct way to obtain this plan is to try it one by one through continuous experiments. Of course, you can get it from others. The past plan will take less detours, but without experiments, there will be no evolution of the plan. This is absolutely true."

Norin said: "So. It is relatively easy to stack basic formations. The production of low-level magic equipment you see on the market changes according to everyone's needs. But when it comes to high-end magic equipment, it is impossible to mass-produce it. Even if you have the correct matching method, a superimposed magic circle cannot be mass-produced."

Woma said: "In fact, it is not impossible to make these puppets move. What I just said is just the principle. There are many influences in reality. The relative position of the magic circle, the type of recording materials, the degree of shielding equipment, the size of the magic circle Strength. These can all affect the operation. Of course, the most important thing is to have reasonably integrated array data. But..." Woma turned to look at me and Rose: "This is a very expensive one. Earthly things.”

"I'm afraid you'd say this." Rose said: "The research funding of the technical department can easily reach hundreds of millions, and I can't make enough money here!"

"Wait!" I suddenly shouted. "All come with me, maybe we can save this money."

"Save it? How to save it?"

I led everyone through the fully crystal-enclosed air passage behind the institute and directly entered the Essinger Central Library. As soon as the Ghost King came in, he started to wow all the way, and almost screamed when he saw something. The shocking power of a giant library cannot be experienced by ordinary people. Compared with small bookstores that can only be found in tens of square meters and book supermarkets with hundreds of square meters, they cover an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters. The Essinger Central Library, which has seven floors above ground and eight floors underground, is absolutely a shocking facility.

Don't think that books are useless in the game. "Zero" is all about realism. It never relies on data to compensate for any effects. Everything works like a real world. At least I know one thing, that is, the library directly affects the probability of evolution in the city as high as 35%, while in other cities this probability is usually no more than one thousandth. Just because of this huge and luxurious library, we have an elite evolution rate that is 350 times that of others. The advantage of elite NPCs is that no matter what they do, they are much better than NPCs of the same level, and they are also job-changing warriors. The combat effectiveness of elite NPCs as warriors is at least three times that of ordinary NPCs. Moreover, the subsequent development speed is faster than that of ordinary NPCs, and the upper limit of the level that can be achieved is also higher than that of ordinary NPCs.

In addition to the impact on urban NPCs. The books themselves are also useful. The first to third underground floors and the first to third floors above ground in the library are all filled with skill books that players need to change their profession. Players from other guilds who want to get skill books for their profession can only buy them from outside or do difficult tasks themselves. But our guild doesn't need it. A full range of standard skills for each profession are available here. Except for a few special skills that require you to complete tasks yourself, we have all the common skills. Players can save a lot of time for this. The fourth to eighth floors underground are the secret archives area. It is specially used to check the rules of some special events. It can basically help you find the direction of many tasks that you originally had no clues for. Our guild's mission success rate is still the best in the world so far, and it relies on these seemingly useless information. As for the fourth to seventh floors above ground, things here are more complicated. But what we are looking for now is the technical information located on the fourth to sixth floors. Here are all the super technical materials of the guild, including the general design drawings of Essinger Land.

We dragged the Ghost King all the way to the fourth floor. Normal people cannot enter here, only researchers and high-level personnel can enter, and the levels become more detailed as you go up. We go directly to the sixth floor. Everything here is top secret information.

Woma complained as he climbed up the super long stairs: "When we designed this damn library, we forgot the most important thing!"

I comforted her and said, "Don't blame yourself. I was so focused on grandeur and grandeur at that time. Who would have thought about getting to the elevator!"

Rose also gasped: "The only design flaw in the entire library is that we forgot to install an elevator. I can't blame you. Who would have thought that a house with only seven floors would need an elevator!"

"It should be the fifteenth floor, and there are eight floors underground." I corrected.

Lund was gloating next to him: "Fortunately, I turned myself into a necromancer, so I don't feel tired. Otherwise, I would be out of breath like you. But speaking of it, this is really a serious flaw! It's true. There are only fifteen floors. But each floor is more than 40 meters long. One floor is as high as ten floors, and the seven floors on the ground are already comparable to the 70-story Babel Tower in human cities."

Everyone gasped while climbing to the sixth floor. It was as hard as a marathon. When we got back, we must remember to install a teleportation array on each floor. It's convenient to go up and down the stairs. It would be exhausting to climb the stairs again.

I led everyone through the reading area and inquiry area directly into the information area at the back. There is an unclassified book area here, and there are a lot of books I got back. This time looking for land is one of the things. Once before, when I went to the Dark Temple, I was locked in a small house and forced to learn alchemy. At that time, I also brought back a bunch of books, but I didn’t have time to read them, so I thought they might come in handy. The alchemy of the Dark Temple is very famous.

Under my guidance, everyone quickly started reading. After a while, Norin exclaimed in surprise: "Oh my God! Seven systems and one magic circle structure diagram. Our guild actually has this thing! Brother Ziri, are you ready? Why didn’t you remember it?”

Lund held the book tremblingly and said, "My God of heaven and earth! See what I have turned over?" He turned the book over and faced us.

Although I am an alchemist with real professional certification, I actually know nothing about this. Woma almost jumped up when she saw it. "Advanced magic dispersion device, this thing can make magic below intermediate level completely immune. Oh my god! This blueprint is worth at least 100 million crystal coins, and it is actually placed here to sleep!"

They were watching the scene and suddenly heard a crackling sound from behind. As soon as everyone turned around, they saw the Ghost King rolling down the movable escalator more than thirty meters high. The bookshelves here are twenty meters high, so each bookshelf has an escalator that can be pushed. The three maids of the Ghost King were helping him hold the escalator, but he rolled down. The ghost king who fell to the ground did not cry out in pain or do anything. Instead, he got up from the ground with two books in great excitement, and then rushed to us. "Found it, found it."

"What did you find?" Nolin stretched her head and took a look. ""Detailed explanation of magic interference isolation plan"? "Application examples of advanced magic equipment"?"

"Haha, it can be solved now."

Having information is convenient. Soon we returned to the institute with a lot of information and started experiments. The Alchemy of the Dark Temple mentioned that the magic fusion technology is actually not applicable to our current situation. The alchemy of the Dark Temple is aimed at the joint use of multiple magics, rather than the fusion of fairy magic and magic. There is a fundamental difference. But fortunately, there are still many places we can learn from. Soon we had a new plan. With the help of the strong production capacity of our guild, a newly modified golem skeleton was lifted out.

Woma proudly introduced me and Rose. "I know you think this looks like a skeleton, but it is indeed a demon puppet, and it is the same type as the demon puppets used by our industry, but it does not have external armor. But if you pay attention to its body, you will find something different. ?"

I looked at the skull-shaped golem for myself. "It seems to be made of ceramics."

"Correct answer. It was already obvious during our previous experiments. The magic puppet and the servant will be completely unable to move after merging. The reason is of course magic interference, but the real source of interference is the material. The material we use to build the magic puppet is ink Steel and Mithril, unfortunately, both metals have good magic conductivity. But what we don't know is that in addition to magic transmission, they actually also have a magic shielding effect. The built-in soul can pass through the talisman The power converts the will into magic power to drive the outer ceramic body. At this time, the internal demon puppet skeleton operates synchronously. After the power is superimposed, the ability of the new combat puppet should be very strong. However, due to the magic shielding characteristics, Exists. The magic power used for control is sealed in the skeleton of the golem, resulting in an additional set of signals in the skeleton, resulting in a loss of response. The external ceramic body also does not respond because it cannot receive the signal. This is why the golem The main reason for not moving. Another reason is that the interference between the magic spells reverses the power of the soul driver, so the external signal itself is not high, and it still cannot be driven even if there is no shielding effect."

"Then how did you solve it?"

"This is the key." Woma explained excitedly: "As you can see, the skeleton part of the new golem is not the old-fashioned design of steel and encrypted silver, but all-ceramic. This ceramic skeleton has been added A lot of new materials. The result is that the hardness of this ceramic has increased significantly, and it has a certain degree of toughness, which is not easy to break. It is perfect as a bone. But the most important thing is the magic power in the new bone. Exit the passage, pay attention here." Woma pointed out to us several crystals on the demon doll's body. "These things are equivalent to internal antennas. They can amplify and strengthen the control signal, so that you are not afraid that the suit outside will lose control."

According to Woma's instructions, the ghost who volunteered to participate in the experiment has been combined with the skeleton. When the skeleton was fired, it was arranged in the same way as the ghost king created the human servants at the beginning. The ashes of the possessed talisman are contained within this ceramic skeleton.

They put the skeleton into a huge pool. It looked like electroplating. After a few seconds, it was pulled out again, but the skeleton had turned golden. Several NPC researchers brought several blowers and dried the skeleton directly. After the golden color stabilized, they placed the skeleton on the machine where the human servants were created in the first place. This machine has been modified and now has an additional program, but the general steps are still similar to making rice cakes. Soon the skeleton was covered with a layer of mixed soil crust. The shell is 'colored' and then the whole thing is sent into a high-temperature kiln to begin baking.

Thirty minutes later, the guy was finally fired. When he was taken out, he looked almost the same as those maids. Of course, he was a male, and he was muscular and tall. To say that they were almost just meant that they were all It has a human shape and bright colors. The glaze color on the outside of the ceramic is much brighter than that of normal people. It is obviously the same after the ghost was burned into a doll. All the colors are too rich.

Originally I thought this was the finished product. I didn’t expect there to be a process. A huge set of plate armor was carried out. I'm familiar with that thing. It's the plate armor used by golems in this industry. Although it doesn't have many advantages other than abnormal defense. But just one defensive pervert is enough.

Woma and the others actually let this newly completed hybrid of a ceramic servant and a golem try on this plate armor. The plate armor in front of me has obviously been scaled down, but after all, the style is there, and the weight is really scary. I wonder if it can still be used for fighting after wearing it. But to our surprise, the brand new demon was still able to move after wearing this armor. We did a simple test on him and found that his movement speed and attack power are both quite powerful. He doesn't have the stupidity of the golem, nor does he have the weakness of the human servant's weak attack power. This powerful combination of monsters will eventually become the ultimate power of our guild. With invincible defense, super attack, relatively fast speed, and high tide of wisdom, these guys are already very outstanding.

Originally, we planned to study how to mass-produce it, but a player suddenly ran in stumbling. "Is the president here?"

"I'm here, what's going on?" He didn't see me because I was blocked by the demon just now.

When the player saw me, he immediately said, "Oh no, something big has happened!"
