Mechanical Alchemist

The library of Luying Royal College is located in the north area of ​​the college.

It took Su Lun and the others half an hour to get there.

It was a white building hidden in the botanical garden, full of greenery. The architectural style is as old as a magical castle in a certain magical era, and there are various restrictions of magical fluctuations everywhere.

oh no!

After a closer look, it is really a few elemental magic towers that have been appraised as being from a certain magical ancient era.

I don't know which ancient ruins it was excavated from, and then the whole thing was moved here.

This is the Royal Library, which is also a museum.

These magic towers are the private collections of the Bona royal family.

Jike is very familiar with the big library, and took Su Lun and the two to visit it.

This is the Royal Library known as Lu Ying's deepest heritage, more luxurious than the "Library of Congress" where Mr. Hei worked. Because this place is almost only open to nobles, and the materials used in the environment are all extreme, which can be called truly resplendent.

In addition to the hundreds of millions of classics displayed on the bookshelves, there are countless collections in the warehouse.

The most important thing is that the library also has a special collection area. There are many collections in it, most of which are peerless orphans, manuscripts, relics, and cursed objects left by alchemists of various eras.

Before coming here, Su Lun had heard that there was an exclusive collection room for Sir Isaac's relics in Dianxue District. There are more than 400 manuscripts written by the demigod of alchemy and various utensils used.

Su Lun followed Jike to visit, and except for a few confidential information areas, he went through all of them.

In addition to marveling at the background of Lu Ying's great empire, his all-seeing eyes also identified various restrictions in the library.

It looks like the library is a public area, but in fact there are various anti-theft methods hidden.

No, Su Lun saw a strange cursed object when he just walked to the entrance of the collection hall.

It was a bronze statue of a hairless cat whose eyes scanned everyone who entered the collection.

This is the famous [Sphinx Cat Statue].

Others only know that this thing is an ancient collection in the library, but they don't know that it is a very troublesome magic item in the field of professional thieves.

One of the difficulties of the "ultimate challenge" of the King of Thieves certification is here.

Su Lun took a look and identified that it was a dark gold quality magic weapon with the curse of causality.

The collection introduction board on the side has a detailed description of its origin. This is a funerary object excavated from the tomb of an ancient king.

In addition to the role of ornaments, this is also an early warning device to prevent tomb robbery.

It can predict a certain future by sensing approaching humans.

This particular future is: Suppose someone wants to come in and steal something.

The act of "stealing" has not yet been implemented, so it can predict that this result will happen in the future, and then issue a warning in advance to trigger the original anti-theft device in the cemetery.

Here, they will be arrested in advance by the librarian.

This is an extraordinary power, and alchemy cannot explain it at present.

Many thieves with malicious intentions were directly included in this level before they could even go to the Treasure Hall to take a look.

Su Lun knew this information from that guy Kit.

But in the end, this cursed object caught too many people, and its function was speculated by the outside world. This is also one of the top-secret information in the field of professional thieves.

Sure enough, Su Lun saw it.

Fortunately, he was only here to step on the spot, and Kit will be the one who will do it in the future. There will be no "theft" fact, and the magic warning device will not be triggered.

After passing the bronze cat statue, the three of Su Lun entered an ancient mechanical elevator.

This is also the only way to the treasure room.

"Kacha", "Kacha".

There was a sound of gears meshing, and the elevator slowly descended.

This elevator looks like an antique with a history of hundreds of years. Even if it has an anti-rust coating, there are spots of rust on the cage.

Jike is enthusiastically introducing some information about the elevator to his teacher.

This is not the energy provided by the steam boiler, but a special alchemy equipment similar to a perpetual motion machine.

Coincidentally, this ancient mechanical lift was designed by Sir Isaac himself.

About four floors down, the elevator stopped.

This is the classic snow area of ​​the library.

Most of the collections are antiques such as manuscripts, secret scrolls, and ancient magic books.

As soon as he entered the Dianxue area, Su Lun sensed the surrounding area, and murmured in his heart: "No wonder Mr. Hei said there is no way, this place is really invulnerable if you want to come in and steal things."

Su Lun's comprehension of the laws of space is very high, but as soon as he entered, he felt as if he had walked into a confined space full of "glue", which was very uncomfortable.

Here, teleportation is very difficult, the energy consumed is a hundred times that of the outside world, and there are space traps everywhere. Those traps will cause people who teleport over to be involved in the turbulent space where they don't know where to go.

And after feeling it, Su Lun also found that the energy particles in the space of the collection room are always in a state of disorder and disorder. In other words, a large "forbidden magic field" is arranged here.

Internal circulation air circulation device, independent sewer, the most advanced fire protection equipment.

The management thought of almost every possible way for people to take advantage of it.

Su Lun frowned slightly, although he felt embarrassed, but not surprised.

Because this is all known information.

And, the troubles don't stop there.

Scanning around again, he also saw that every piece of collection was placed in a showcase like a glass cover.

The pupil of omniscience appraised it, and these covers were even more remarkable.

This is an alchemical anti-theft cover made from the hardest known enchanting material [Thunderbolt Crystal]. It is engraved with various strong runes and magic marks.

While taking into account the beauty, this cover has an absolute defense that can't be cracked by artillery.

And the most amazing thing is that there is a seventh-order space technique [space cobweb adhesion] solidified on these display cabinets!

These collections seem to be independent, but their space is solidified together with the entire collection.

Just imagine it is the tip of an iceberg on the sea surface, but if you want to take it away, you have to pick up the entire iceberg on the bottom of the sea.

Even if a high-level cursed object such as the black sickle is used to cut a certain item, even a spatial ability user cannot stuff it into another secondary space.

In other words, whoever wants to steal it must keep it in his hand.

There are also various tracking and positioning devices, even if a certain collection is really stolen, it is enough for the Luying Military Intelligence Department to chase it down to death.

but

Su Lun looked at it, and the space limitation had no effect on stuffing into another plane.

It's the only good news I've seen so far.

However, it is precisely because of these strict anti-theft measures that there have been hundreds of thefts recorded in the Royal Library of Luying in the past century, but they were almost unsuccessful.

In the past twenty years, only one "King of Thieves", Carlo Merdis, has succeeded in stealing a famous painting.

Because of the extremely high difficulty, it became the "ultimate challenge" for the professional certification of the Luying Thieves Alliance.

Seeing this, Su Lun felt troubled in his heart: "There is no flaw at all. Even if that guy Kit came, I'm afraid there is nothing he can do."

Coming here, Su Lun really opened his eyes.

Just to maintain such a huge restriction around the clock, the energy consumed is a very exaggerated figure.

This also shows that the Lu Ying royal family is rich and powerful.

[Dwarf's Gold Gathering Ring], [Loki's Deceitful Helmet], [Heimdall's Horn Galar], [Freya's Golden Necklace], [The Will of the Ruler of All Things], [The Three Norn Sisters] The Web of Fate】【Magic Ring Dropnir】.

A piece of rare treasures that only appear in various classics is in front of you.

Su Lun felt that she had enough babies.

But here, there are not one hundred cursed objects of the "Forbidden Object" level, but eighty of them.

There are also several legendary and epic town hall treasures.

Seeing Su Lun's heart was burning.

These top-level cursed objects with specific functions are placed here, like witnesses of the years.

The background of Lu Ying's royal family is really exaggerated and frightening.

Su Lun's eyes warmed up.

However, now he has left the rank that needs to rely entirely on foreign objects to save his life.

Although these cursed objects are good, almost none of them fit his profession.

Even if you hold it in your hand, it is also a collection.

It is precisely because most of these cursed objects have exaggerated and frighteningly exaggerated curse characteristics, and their use is very restricted. Even professionals above the seventh level will lose half their lives if they use them to be immortal. They can also be placed here to eat ashes.

With this thought, the restlessness in my heart became much more balanced.

When Su Lun and the others came to visit, there were still several groups of people visiting the collection hall.

The most eye-catching ones are a group of eight or nine-year-old children.

They wore uniform school uniforms, and there were forty or fifty of them.

Chattering and chattering.

Jike also recognized those juniors, and introduced: "That's the student of the Fourth Royal Preparatory College in Lingdon, which I studied before. The college organizes freshmen to visit the library every year."

Su Lun nodded, feeling pretty good too.

These noisy little guys can also just attract the attention of those administrators.

He followed along and looked over.

The group of children were also curious about everything, asking around, Su Lun also got some useful information.

"Mr. Instructor, why are these collections covered up?"

"Because it is to protect them, and also to protect the visitors. Any curse properties of alchemy objects will dissipate and pollute the outside world."

"Why does that [Crystal Skull] glow?"

"Because it's an evil cursed thing. That's the overflow of its cursed properties, not the real light"

"."

Su Lun wanted to observe every detail here, so he looked very carefully.

Besides, these collections are really interesting.

The higher the level and the richer the knowledge, the more enlightened and harvested you will be from the crystallization of wisdom of these great ancient alchemists.

Refining techniques, runes, design ideas, treatment of curse characteristics, etc.

Su Lun walked and watched all the way, like a human-shaped camera, recording everything in the collection hall.

Finally, he came to the "Sir Isaac's Exclusive Collection Room".

Although the room is not big, there are many alchemy manuscripts in the window, as well as some mechanical models made based on those manuscripts.

And the most eye-catching among them is naturally the black-smelling notebook.

Su Lun walked over and identified it, and it was [Isaac's Alchemy Manuscript II]!

This is the same as the one in his hand, and it also describes a special cursed object involving karmic fate, and it also comes with a learning buff aura.

It is a good treasure in itself to assist knowledge comprehension.

Su Lun also knew the content recorded in it in advance, which is the alchemy blueprint mastered by the Lu Ying military - [Isaac's Giant Power].

An exaggerated alchemy equipment that enhances physical strength.

It just so happened that he had an [Arm of the Hundred-Armed Giant King] in his hand, which was perfect for refining this reproductive equipment.

Although I don't know if it can be integrated, but I also want to refine it first.

"It's really genuine."

Su Lun's eyes moved slightly.

The reason why he came here in person was because he wanted to confirm whether the items displayed in the library were genuine, not high-quality imitations for display.

Su Lun silently observed the various restrictions in the exhibition room, and then carefully read the contents of the manuscripts.

My master's attainments in the field of alchemy are unmatched by anyone in the world, and the value of his manuscripts can be imagined.

But after all, it was a thousand years ago. Although there are many things here, they are all incomplete and complicated.

There are blueprints, potion formulas, alchemy, and some graffiti, etc., all kinds of scattered fragments.

It was identified that except for a few high imitation fakes, the others were authentic.

Su Lun thought that when Kit came to visit, it would be better to take it along with him.

Because it was his master's relic, Su Lun also looked at it for a while longer.

Watching and watching, the group of visiting young students also poured in.

Su Lun didn't want to join in the fun with these people, so he wanted to tell Sabina and Jike to leave.

Unexpectedly, the accompanying big fat commentator would actually say something that made people's jaw drop.

A young student asked: "Mr. Isaac, I heard that you are a descendant of Sir Isaac, the great demigod of alchemy for a thousand years?"

The guide responded: "Of course! You are my great-grandfather. Many of these collections were donated to the library by my grandfather. They are family heirlooms of our Isaac family. Look, the The name of the donor is my grandfather Dodoru Isaac. Look, there is also the year when His Majesty bestowed the title of hereditary noble on my family, 921 Luengli calendar. Oh, that is a grand honor ceremony"

"Wow, that's true! You are amazing!"

"."

A group of little guys became excited in an instant.

The fat man was also complacent with all kinds of envious eyes. This identity alone has brought him too much honor and praise.

Su Lun who was on the side was stunned by this operation.

He had heard someone calling the fat man "Mr. Isaac" before, and he thought it was a heavy surname.

After all, although this surname is famous, it is not rare.

He originally guessed that some collateral relative of his senior sister passed down the line, and wanted to find out a little more. But upon hearing this, the fat man said with certainty that his grandfather was Isaac's own son.

Hearing this, Su Lun knew it was a counterfeit.

Jike, who was on the side, had obviously heard the legend's bragging, and excitedly introduced to Su Lun and Sabina: "The narrator is very famous in Lingdon, because he is the true descendant of Sir Isaac. , It was conferred by the royal family! The Isaac Family Memorial Hall in the downtown area of ​​Queens was established by this gentleman’s family.”

Hearing this, even Sabina showed great interest and looked at the fat man more.

After all, Sir Isaac's aura is too dazzling. The descendant of the demigod has a genius aura.

Su Lun smiled and shook his head, completely uninterested, "Let's go."

Jike was a little puzzled, his teacher was not interested in Isaac's descendants?

But he also walked out.

Sabina looked at Su Lun's subtle expression, and guessed something, she took his arm and asked in a low voice, "Sir, do you think there is something wrong with that person just now?"

Su Lun shrugged his shoulders, showing a dumbfounding expression: "Although I don't know how the Isaac relic of that guy's ancestor came from, and how he persuaded the royal family to be canonized. But as far as I know, Sir Isaac only has two daughters and no sons."

Only then did Sabina understand why Su Lun had that expression just now, "So, you're saying that's a liar?"

Su Lun nodded: "Yeah."

"ah"

When Jike heard it, he looked disappointed and puzzled.

Although he didn't doubt his teacher's words, he was also curious: "Teacher, why do you know that Isaac has only two daughters and no other heirs? What if there are really?"

"There's nothing wrong with it."

Su Lun interrupted Jake.

After pondering for a moment, he said lightly, "Because I know both of Sir Isaac's daughters."

"???"

When Jike heard this, his expression froze for a moment.

He felt as if his brain had been exposed to some incomprehensible information, and he couldn't digest the meaning of Su Lun's words for a long time.

But Sabina at the side turned her eyes and guessed something, "Is it the leader?"

Su Lun nodded: "Yeah."

Jike was stunned for a while, and then suddenly realized that he didn't seem to understand wrong just now.

His expression suppressed some kind of shock, and he asked in a slightly struggling voice, "Teacher, what did you just say?"

Su Lun shook his head, and didn't mean to go into details: "Let's go out and talk about it."

Now that "Liming" has become powerful, and he has the power to protect himself, it's time to give his disciple some family background.

But this library is full of prohibitions, and it is not convenient to say something too secret.

Not long after, the three of them finished visiting the collection room and walked out of the library.

Walking on the boulevards of the campus again, Su Lun briefly explained the situation to Yejik, "My teacher is Ms. Selea, the founder of the puppeteer, who is the wife of Sir Isaac. So Isaac Sir Ke is your grand master. You still have a younger brother and a younger sister. I will take you to meet them in two days. You will follow me from now on. There are also some Mafas in my war workshop. "Master of Ammunition", the occupational inheritance in explosives is not lower than that of the Royal Academy, and there is no shortage of materials and equipment."

Some people are suitable for experience, and some people are only suitable for being home scientists.

Su Lun observed Jike for a long time, and knew that his character was more suitable for staying in the laboratory and doing research.

Hearing Su Lun's words, Jike was beyond shocked.

He never expected that his master's inheritance was so awesome!

He looked at Su Lun, too shocked to speak, "Me, me."

Su Lun knew that it would take some time to digest these situations, so he didn't say much, and said, "Take care of the college's affairs in the past few days. If it's not necessary, you may come to the college less often in the future."

The Lu Ying Empire is very backward in the field of ammunition engineering and explosive technology. Jike is mostly self-study in the Royal Academy, which will be very limited, wasting his talent and love.

He stayed at the Royal Academy because there are advanced laboratories and low-cost materials that are not available elsewhere.

But in Su Lun's war workshop, there is no shortage of materials and laboratories for the time being.

The only thing worthy of nostalgia are those ancient classics.

But as long as you are still a college student, you can still come to borrow books if you have nothing to do in the future.

As for the relationship between those classmates, it seems that there is nothing better for Jike.

Su Lun had obviously thought about everything, thought of something, and smiled again: "As for Phoebe. I think you can ask her out for dinner first. Contact her more."

Then, he looked at Jike again, and said, "Be more confident. You are my disciple, not inferior to anyone."

"Um!"

When Jike heard this, his eyes trembled, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

At this moment, he felt inexplicably confident in his heart!

Only then did he understand why the lady would say such things,

I am a teacher's disciple, no worse than any nobleman!

The three continued to wander around the campus.

Su Lun had already observed the various layouts of the library, but the more he knew, the more unlikely he was to get the [Isaac Alchemy Manuscript].

Jike looked at his teacher's way of thinking all the way, and guessed something, and asked tentatively: "Teacher, you said that you came to the academy this time for the relics of the library teacher?"

There are many treasures in the library, and there are also many manuscript relics of various alchemy masters.

But now that he knows that his teacher is a descendant of Isaac's lineage, it is not difficult to guess what.

"Um."

Su Lun never intended to hide anything from his disciple.

I didn't tell him before, because I was afraid that this disciple would find out, and some high-level professionals would not be able to hide it from the observation, revealing his flaws in advance.

Now that it's out, it doesn't matter.

He said directly: "That manuscript is very important, I must get it. But now it seems that it is a bit difficult."

Jake thought of something, and asked again: "Teacher, do you think the security restrictions in the library are difficult?"

"Um."

Su Lun shared the information he had observed.

The original intention was to let Sabina, a professional intelligence officer, refer to it by the way, after all, she is a professional in this area.

He said: "The prohibition in the library is the most complex and complete multiple defense method I have ever seen. There are magic prohibition, space traps, and anti-theft covers. Even fire prevention, ventilation, and drainage have no chance. If you crack them one by one, there is not enough time. And once you go in and trigger some hidden security restrictions, you will even be trapped to death inside."

Sabina also had a serious face when she heard it, thinking that she couldn't find any solution, and she didn't respond when she thought about it.

This is the "ultimate challenge" of the thief profession, and it is naturally not that easy.

Jike looked at the dignified faces of the two elders and thought that he might be able to help, so he said weakly: "That... teacher, I have an idea."

Su Lun glanced at him and asked, "Oh?"

Jike said: "Actually, if you just want to go in, you don't have to worry about those defensive barriers, then it won't be so troublesome."

Su Lun didn't understand for a moment: "You mean there are loopholes that can be bypassed?"

"No, there are no loopholes. We learned it in engineering courses before. It was the empire's top security experts who designed the serial barrier. No one can break through it. I mean"

Ji Ke shook his head, and said instead: "Actually, it is possible to break through with explosives."

Su Lun was confused, "???"

It's not that he hasn't thought about explosives, but with the level of defense in the library, a stack of tens of thousands of explosives may not be able to explode.

At that time, the entire academy may be blown up, and the barrier in the treasure room may not be broken.

If there is such a commotion, not to mention hurting the innocent, the whole of Lu Ying will probably die with him forever.

Jike obviously knew that he was misunderstood by Su Lun, and he quickly explained: "The engineering teacher put forward a hypothetical topic before, saying that there is currently no external force that can break the structure of the collection room. But I think it is possible. Then I hugged it and tried it." With the mentality of trying it out, I have calculated it in detail. The final conclusion is that as long as the method is proper, it can be broken with explosives."

Su Lun's eyes twitched inexplicably when he heard this.

He suddenly realized that his disciple seemed to have discovered a blind spot, so he asked, "How to do it, do you have a plan?"

Jike nodded, and said: "Actually, any solid object can be destroyed if we change its stable structure. The library's collection room is a perfect 32-dodecahedron structure. It itself has super stability. The material poured in layers has reached the level VIII explosion resistance standard known as absolute defense. Of course, that is not important. The important thing is that if the ultra-high temperature and high-frequency vibration can directly collapse this stable structure. Vlast’s singular point blasting theory’, as long as eight points of the 32-dodecahedron are found and blasted in a directional way, one-thousandth of the energy of frontal destruction can be used to achieve the same blasting effect.”

Hearing this series of professional descriptions, Su Lun frowned.

Although he is not proficient in explosive engineering, he roughly understands it.

He discovered the problem again and asked, "However, even if it is one thousandth of the blasting energy, at least a few hundred tons of explosives are needed?"

This is a theoretically feasible solution.

But that dose volume is impossible to be installed on any singular point at all.

Ji Ke obviously knew it a long time ago, and said again: "It is true that so many ordinary high explosives are needed, and it is impossible to install them successfully. But if it is a special explosive, it is completely unnecessary."

After a pause, he said directly: "Ordinary explosives usually cannot satisfy the effect of ultra-high temperature and high-frequency vibration. But I found an ancient dwarven engineering classic in the warehouse of the mining library, which records a kind of The explosives for special mining are called [Multi-Layered Explosive Melt Bombs]. It is the explosives specially used by the ancient dwarves to break through various solid ore layers. I have calculated before that the amount of explosives is about 100 kilograms, as long as the power of directional blasting is controlled , and there won’t even be much movement, and a hole with a diameter of two meters can be directly broken above the collection room in an instant.”

Hearing this, Su Lun and Sabina beside him looked at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's eyes.

They have been thinking about how to break the ban on bypassing the treasure room.

Kejik's thinking is simple and rude, don't bypass it at all.

What is Explosive Genius?

This is!

Jake's words opened up a whole new way of thinking.

This method of blasting even eliminates the risk of sneaking in, and solves the problem of entering and exiting in ten seconds.

Hearing this plan, Su Lun immediately felt that the matter was mostly successful.

This is a hundred times more reliable and a hundred times less risky than the hundreds of plans he came up with before!

He asked directly: "Then can you make [Multi-Layer Explosive Melta Bomb]?"

Jake nodded, "I made a small amount of finished products and actually tested them in order to prove that my calculations were correct."

He looked at Su Lun, and said very seriously: "As long as there are enough materials, it will be absolutely fine."

As long as this explosive genius talks about his professional field, his tone is full of extraordinary confidence and determination!
