Chapter 29: Choice of destiny


Analyzing and researching materials is a long and tedious work, and it is impossible to achieve results in a short time. However, Gong Hao believes that if it is committed to a certain aspect, it is entirely possible to achieve a breakthrough in a short period of time.
Especially when this kind of research is completely blank in the whole field of alchemy.
What he is currently working on is the sap of pubescens which is used to make corrosives.
This kind of dragon's whisker was first cultivated in area 13. After the jailbreak of Warcraft and other Warcraft, Area 13 was the most damaged. Gong Hao suspected that all of the Warcraft might go around there. The reason is ... Bacheng went to him to thank him.
As a result, area 13 was the most severely damaged, and the dragon's whisker was completely finished. The material used to make the corrosive agent lacked important raw materials and could only temporarily stagnate. At present, there is only a little refined juice in the warehouse, and it is completely gone after use.
Through research, Gong Hao found that the reason why the dragon's whisker can become the main material of the corrosive potion is not because of its good effect, nor because of how well it fits with other materials. Rhizomes can be used to make anti-corrosive agents.
When Gong Hao was in the library, he knew that the application of corrosion agents has always been double-sided. Not only must high-efficiency corrosion agents be produced, but also protective films must be made to prevent corrosion. Otherwise, you can't smear your own weapons without corroding other people's armors, and rot your own weapons first.
Due to its good material for the production of isolating membranes, it has become the main material for the most suitable corrosion agents.
If this is the case, then it is not difficult to replace the elastin with other materials. It is rare how to find a suitable insulation film.
Corrosion-resistant isolation film ...
Gong Hao remembered that when he was in the laboratory, he had been engaged in the research on the acid and alkali resistance of the isolation membrane, and he was completely familiar with the formula and processing methods.
awesome! Gong Hao almost called out.
If it can be done, not only can the production of caustic agents be resumed, but he is sure to further improve the efficacy of the caustic agents.
Despite the rough conditions, Gong Hao immediately said to do it.
He followed Lancelot to the jungle every day, searching for alternative materials everywhere. After returning, various chemical materials are refined.
Although the magic continent is different from the material continent in many ways, it is also similar in many ways. In many ways, they may lag behind material technology, but in many ways they are ahead of material technology.
Gong Hao made full use of all available means to make all necessary materials as much as possible in his spare time.
Others saw him so crazy and didn't know what he was doing, but since Heins had given him this authority, everyone couldn't say anything.
Twenty-six days later, he finally completed the production of the first release film.
With this isolation film, Gong Hao's emotions can be imagined.
On the same day, Hines heard that Gong Hao had completed a new corrosive agent and came to experiment with the effect himself.
Looking at the excellent corrosion effect, Hines' expression was so startling that he could swallow a big duck egg.
"I have to say, Glair, you are indeed a brilliant genius. You make the corrosive potion more effective, but the required materials and production processes are reduced, considering that you have only worked as an apprentice for two months This is really unimaginable. "Hines restored the image of the elderly man.
But Gong Hao will never forget the old idiot expression he gave his ultimatum a month ago.
He seems to have two faces, one with a smiley face, giving a positive expression when you perform well, and the other with a fierce face, and that face is woven from the blood and skin of countless people.
"It's all thanks to your teaching and the help of Lord Andrew." Gong Hao answered respectfully.
"Andrew? I know he admires you. He has limited talent in alchemy, but he has a good ability to manage people." The old man nodded with a corrosive potion: "Then, I look forward to your better performance. Lyle. "
"Sorry, Master Hines, I'm afraid I can only do that."
"why?"
"Because Liberty is coming tomorrow. I think this time they will send in new apprentices. I will return to my place by then."
Hines was silent for a moment: "It's really regrettable, Glyer, I actually don't want to let you go."
Early the next morning.
Liberty enters the port.
They brought unfortunate news.
Two days after the Liberty went to sea, Chalkele's apprentice for Purgatory Island accidentally fell into the sea. By the time they found him, he had nothing but a skeleton. Chakle told Hines that it would be very difficult to find another outstanding apprentice, because it took him a month to find such one, and he died of an accident.
That night.
In Hines' laboratory.
"Teacher, I think it's important to keep Shuigler in the Alchemy Tower. He is a genius and he can help us solve many problems. In the two months he has come, everyone has seen his performance. He It's better than a real apprentice. "It was Andrew who spoke.
Pierre objected: "I don't think so, mentor, Shuigler is getting closer and closer to our secrets. Going on like this, one day he will find it all."
Andrew sneered: "Pie, I respect you as an excellent alchemist, better than me in alchemy, but you obviously don't know how to manage and use people. Xiu Yieraier is a genius. And we need this Genius. "
Hines asked: "Andrew, do you really think that child can help us?"
"Yes, mentor. Our research on Troll God has been stagnant for many years, and His Majesty is very dissatisfied. But I think he may give us hope ... We need some fresh ideas. And the alchemist also needs fresh Energetic blood. Take a look at his achievements. He has already proven his ability in just two months. No, perhaps it should be said that while he was a servant and still playing with those flowers, he had proven I ’ve passed myself. Oh my god, if he changed to someone else, then his performance a year ago would be enough to make him an apprentice. He has paid ten times more effort than others and has achieved other servants and Things the apprentice couldn't do at all. He even improved the recipe! "Andrew cried.
Pier stared at Andrew: "Andrew, you shouldn't yell at the mentor."
Andrew narrowed his neck. "I'm sorry, mentor."
Hines waved his hand and said he didn't mind: "Then you mean ..."
"Open the alchemy tower below four floors, allowing him to freely enter and learn." Andrew Road.
Piero screamed, "We are discussing whether we should keep him in the Alchemy Tower, but you want to give him more power?"
"We can take away the flesh and blood, the undead, and the demons. All the production can be done in the valley, and the rest can be given to him. Maybe he can make flesh and blood that can be refined without living people. What about? "
"If that's the case, you need to give him that thing ..." Hines hesitated.
Pierre cried, "You must never give Hugh Glair, he's just a servant!"
"We can first give him a copy of the material of the flesh and blood and the undead. If he can restore the technology of Electra to create a real flesh and blood, then consider letting him join the Troll God. Research, even the engraving of magic lines, space rings and teleportation arrays. "
"Oh my God, Andrew, are you crazy? Your approach is to cultivate yourself the most powerful enemy of the future. It may even be the most terrible enemy of the entire empire. I can't imagine once he learns the spirit species in his body What kind of revenge will we make when we are here, "Pier said, shaking his head.
"Pie, you're always so alarmist. If that's the case, we can kill him the first time. Don't forget that because of the spirit in his body, his life is in our hands, he There is no right to resist. I just want to reach his potential as much as possible before he discovers the truth and decides to betray us. "
Hines stopped the apprenticeship between the two apprentices and said, "Let Chaklet continue to search for new apprentices."
Andrew was discouraged that Hines had not adopted his opinion.
A month later, when Liberty entered Hong Kong again, Zaklai looked helpless.
He told Andrew that the second apprentice he had struggled to find was dead on the road.
"Master Heins, are you looking for me?"
Gong Hao called respectfully at the door.
Hines looked at Gong Hao with amusement: "I have to say, you are lucky, little guy."
"Yes, master, it is my lifelong luck to meet you and follow you."
"No, I'm not referring to this." Hines shook his head, and he asked Gong Hao to sit down and sit beside him.
Then he looked at Gong Hao and said, "This month you improved the formula of the two potions. In just three months, you have made contributions that most apprentices can't do. Tell me how you are Did it happen? "
"Efforts, Master Hines, Lord Lancelot taught me that there is no talent more important than hard work. I think it is true even in alchemy, of course, with a little luck With the guidance of a master. "
"Well said, you're ashamed of me, because I have hardly taught you anything." Heins stood up and said, "I heard you asked Andrew to make some interesting tools and use them. The tools do those things, are they? "
"Yes, that's all from folk. Some tricks. But if the master is interested, I can show it to you."
"Without that, I wouldn't be interested in them, and they wouldn't make any sense to me."
Gong Hao looked at Heins with a little doubt, Heins said: "I think I should teach you something. Glair, do you know what the true meaning of the alchemist is?"
Gong Hao shook his head.
"Yes, you don't know, because you never thought you were actually a magic apprentice, right?"
"Magic apprentice?" Gong Hao was somewhat surprised.
When have you been a magic apprentice? This is simply a joke.
Even though Iwo had thrown the magician's meditation manual to him, he hadn't really tried to cultivate. For him, the priority is to achieve results at work. But now, Hines told him that he was already a magic apprentice.
"Yes, a magic apprentice, but you never realized it. You see yourself as a craftsman. Alchemist, alchemist is not an architect, not a craftsman, not any ordinary profession. It and Like a magician, it is noble, great, and mysterious. In fact, it is magic. So, the alchemist is not a craftsman. The alchemist does not use ordinary power, but magic power. The method you use is only Suitable for folk, not magical fields. You may be able to achieve outstanding results through some tricks in potion, but you are also likely to stop there. You must know that the field of alchemy is very broad, almost everywhere The power of magic is used everywhere. You can't put magic in a bottle for research. "
"Whether it is the refining of potions, the enchantment of weapons, the making of puppets, or even the production of higher items such as space rings, it is inseparable from the power of magic. Although alchemists cannot use all kinds of magic as magicians can. , But our purpose is the same. The alchemist only uses different means to achieve the purpose that the magician wants. Think about it, a magician of the earth system can set off a sandstorm, which can make a piece of land only grow. Grass to produce food, but they ca n’t create stormy seas like the water mage. The water mage ca n’t control the flames like a fire mage, and it ’s raining wildly. For alchemists, we ca n’t It is the ability to wave like them, but the same, we can achieve our purpose through the items we make. All the things that magicians can do, we alchemists can do it, only the method has The effect is different. This is the biggest difference between an alchemist and a magician. Why do you think we need to make medicine ? Because alchemist eager terrible curse that has the ability to be able to treat as pastor of light, but we also like to curse Master. They can do it all by magic, and we can achieve the same purpose by an agent. "
"So what the alchemist is pursuing is actually the power of magic, rather than making effective tools. Instead of inventing a lens that can replace microscopy, I prefer to invent a method for me to own or use. Microvision, which is the difference, is also the meaning of the existence of the alchemist. If you can't take magic as the goal you are pursuing, then you will never reach the pinnacle of alchemy, at best it is just a good craftsman. "
Gong Hao was so sweaty that he never dreamed that the true meaning of the existence of the alchemist was this. It seems that many of his previous ideas about alchemy had been misunderstood. Now what Hines told him was exactly what Gong Hao ignored.
It ’s just that he does n’t understand, how can old things teach him today?
He didn't think that Hines had a moment of benevolence.
He suddenly remembered what he said when he first entered the door: "You are lucky."
understood.
The efforts he has been devoted to for all kinds of adventures, now I am afraid they have come to fruition and formally returned to him.
Sure enough, Hines said, "Of course, I'm still very satisfied with your performance in the pharmacy. You are a smart child, and you can always use a different way of thinking to solve problems. This is exactly what we have so far. Lack. Chakley sent two apprentices, but they both died. For the past three months, you have been here to replace Neil. I think you are fully qualified for the apprenticeship, so I let Chuck Rai no longer has to bother looking for new apprentices. From today, you are a formal member of the Alchemy Tower Apprentice. The Alchemy Tower below the fourth floor will be open to you and you can learn anything you want to learn. If there is anything If you do n’t understand, you can come and ask me at any time. I hope you can continue to use your genius. Maybe it won't be long before you will become my powerful assistant. "
This long-awaited word finally sounded in Gong Hao's ear.
At that moment, a long breath came out of his heart, and he respectfully said, "Thank you very much, Master Hines."
"Thank destiny, think about the death of the two new apprentices, as well as the death of Neil. This may be the choice of destiny. Destiny is destined to let you continue to work here." Hines answered.
Is it fate? Gong Hao smiled slightly.
So if fate is destined to let you murderers go to hell, will you accept it?
He walked out of the alchemy tower with ease.
