According to the rumors, Qing Kong, the principal of the alchemy workshop, somehow, hurriedly rushed to the Alchemist Association, and then his husband and wife joined the imperial city.
And before noon, a recall order was issued urgently by using the communication towers standing around the palace.
As a result, many top alchemists in the kingdom rushed to the association.
For the Yue people, this is of course a new thing worth discussing. It's a pity that no matter how to inquire, I didn't understand it. I only vaguely knew that a group of people started a mysterious project.
...
Earth.
After handing the prayer candle to the Yue clan, Lin Tuo also waited patiently.
Of course, this does not mean that he did nothing.
Whether it is the control of such subtle spells as the "Magic Mailman", or the creation of the second system, or even the third, it takes up a lot of his time.
Especially the latter, the set previously manufactured was handed over to Huaxi to connect to the Tianyuan Continent.
Lin Tuo felt that it was necessary to make a set on the northern and southern continents.
Not only is it convenient for him and Hathaway to get in and out, if all goes well, he thinks it can also be used to accelerate the integration of the earth and the sandbox in the future.
The enemy is now, and the development of the earth has just started on the right track. This speed really makes Lin Tuo unsatisfied.
The area that illuminates the entire earth is even more distant.
Therefore, allowing the two worlds to communicate with each other to a certain extent has become a matter of planning.
"Opening the isolation hood directly is still too rough and will cause too many unpredictable chain problems. Therefore, it may be more appropriate to gradually deepen your understanding through the star gate."
Lin Tuo already had a certain idea about this, but he wanted to implement it, but he was not as fast.
In this hectic life, a week passed in an instant.
In a blink of an eye, February 1st, Lin Tuo finally received a signal from the Moon Sea Continent.
...
When Lin Tuo flew into the Moon Clan Royal Court again as a clone, the stupid Moon Tree that had greeted him in advance finally did not drop any more leaves.
Using the invisibility spell to cover up his figure, Lin Tuo walked through the streets of the capital city of Wang Ting, contrasting with the memory, which was not interesting.
There are a lot of alchemy products in the city, and some floating flying machines are even more amazed by Lin Tuo.
But this time the purpose was clear, and there was no time wasted. After a little observation, he came to the building complex of the Wangting Alchemy Association.
At this moment, according to his request, the rest of the personnel have been evacuated? Only one man and one woman are left? Two figures are standing nervously at the gate of the Association's main research room.
His expression was nervous and excited, and from time to time he would look up at the earth above his head.
"Is it really this time? Why hasn't the teacher appeared yet?"
Tall figure? Exquisite face? Stepping on the plug of the prosthetic legs, clenched his hands in front of him, and couldn't help but look at the husband next to him.
Eight hundred years have passed? She has faded away, her long soft silver hair is tied into a bun behind her head. On the bridge of her nose, she also wears a pair of single-frame eye glasses like Qingkong.
His upper body was wearing a light-colored sweater and a white researcher-style robe.
Excitedly walking on the spot, making a light click.
Beside, the blue sky with similar costume needs to be calmer? Explained:
"I used the signal sent by the communication tower according to the teacher's letter? And there is a moon tree transfer, it must be delayed."
His Royal Highness Sese, who has been a mother, nodded, then smiled to himself and said:
"I... I'm just a little nervous."
"I know."
"I don't know, what will the teacher look like this time."
Qingkong heard the words, and there was also a hint of curiosity in his eyes? About to speak, suddenly? The couple heard a flat and slightly smiling voice in front of them:
"I said, meet again? You will see me as I am."
The two of them watched in a hurry? Just saw the air fluctuate. A figure wearing a strange but mysterious temperament slowly walked out of the air, came to the two of them, examined it, and said with emotion:
"It's been eight hundred years. You and the world have really changed a lot."
"You are... the old... teacher?" Sai Sai looked at Lin Tuo's figure in amazement, and in his expression, he could still see a little bit of the girl's mood of the year.
Lin Tuo nodded and said with a smile:
"Very different from what you think?"
Sese, who was already a wife, blushed immediately and hesitated:
"No, it's just that we thought...that..."
The gentle Qing Kong next to him smiled bitterly:
"Sai and I thought you should be an old man."
Lin Tuo smiled and said: "It's just the appearance, if you want, I can change into the appearance of an old man, but you... really surprised me."
On the way, he also inquired about the situation of his two students. After learning that they had become husband and wife and had already given birth a few years ago, Lin Tuo was surprised and a little bit emotional.
I haven't seen each other for more than a month, and the two children have been playing soy sauce...I'm still single...It's very depressing to think about it.
The two were suddenly embarrassed, and bowed their heads like children who did something wrong.
Upon seeing this, Lin Tuo put away his ridiculous thoughts, did not chat, went straight to the topic:
"Okay, let's talk about the specific affairs. May the candle repair work progress?"
Upon hearing the business, although they were extremely curious about Lin Tuo's situation over the years, and had too much to say, the two of them still forcibly stopped these many emotions, Qingkong said:
"These days we have gathered high-level alchemists from the entire royal court to analyze together, and we did have some results, but..."
"But?" Lin Tuo raised his eyebrows.
Sese explained: "We found a way to repair this alchemy product, but we couldn't implement it."
Lin Tuolue was a little surprised, and immediately said, "Take me to see."
"Yes."
The others were dispersed, and the three of them immediately walked towards the building behind them, through the wide and bright corridor, up the stairs, and soon came to a closed door.
Saese raised his hand and pressed the code lock next to him. The door trembling and separated to the sides. Inside, there was a laboratory dominated by silver and blue tones.
A simple candlestick stood quietly on a circular experiment platform in the center.
"According to our analysis, this item you sent belongs to the creation of the genus Mysterious Alchemy..."
Qingkong said, pressing his hand on the surface of the experimental platform, as if he had verified his identity. Then, the entire circular facility was lit up, and with a click, a light curtain appeared.
Inside the light curtain, there is a 3D model of a prayer candle slowly turning.
"We conducted a non-destructive test on it and tested it with virtual activation. The final result surprised us. There may be a lot of spiritual substances inside this candlestick...
The latter, we have never seen before, is a kind of existence conceived in the doctrine that you left behind, teacher. "
Qing Kong said, looking at Lin Tuo with a pensive look.
Eight hundred years, this is not a short time for the long-lived Moon Clan people, and the original alchemy that was still rough has undergone earth-shaking changes.
An endless stream of theories and technologies have emerged, completely changing the living conditions of the Yue people, and many of these technologies are far beyond what Lin Tuo left behind.
However, no matter how the technology changes, some basic theories are like the foundation of this alchemy building, unbreakable.
Among them are the so-called "spiritual matter", which the Yue people have never seen before, and no one has questioned its existence in these years.
As a result, even now, he was suspected to be able to see it in a dusty candlestick. He still remembers the shocked emotions on the faces of the senior alchemists in the entire association when they discovered this a week ago.
But when he heard this answer, Lin Tuo only raised his eyebrows slightly and said in secret: Sure enough!
"Go on." He concealed his expectation and said.
Dressed up as a female researcher, in fact, she said to the president of Alchemy Association:
"This discovery made us extremely shocked and excited, but it is precisely because we have never seen this substance before, so we lack effective detection methods.
In other words, this part of it is an undetectable black box for us. "
"So, we try to study the rest of it..."
With that said, Saese raised his hand and touched the model in the virtual light curtain, and the candlestick was suddenly broken into three parts.
"According to our inspection, its structure is not complicated, it is mainly composed of three parts, namely, the signal receiving area, the capacity release area, and the energy supply area."
"The signal receiving area is the collection area for instructions.
This part is very interesting, the activation method of this artifact turned out to be a vague spoken password.
We tried to analyze it in reverse, and found that we only need to speak and speak a specific language combination with voice, and then we can give instructions to it. The specific instruction format is..."
Lin Tuo's eyes flashed, and said: "Am I making a wish?"
Saisai was startled, thinking that the teacher really knew something about it, and nodded:
"Yes, that's it. If our judgment is correct, when this artifact is activated, as long as it says'I wish + specific content' within a certain distance, it can give feedback..."
Lin Tuo nodded, not surprised by this: "Go on."
The blue sky interface next to it said:
"The second area, the ability release area, actually contains two parts.
One is the spiritual material gathering area that we just mentioned... This is also the source of mysterious power, but we still have no way of analyzing it.
The other one is the release port.
In other words, it receives a command, and then transforms it into an unknown spell through spiritual matter, and then displays it through the release mouth.
This is the top candlelight of the candle, and we have completed the acquisition of its structure and permissions. "
After a pause, he continued:
"As for the energy supply area...this area is the most damaged of the three. According to our speculation, the way this artifact draws ether energy may be different from other alchemical products."
"You mean..." Lin Tuo glanced at him.
"Source," Qingkong said, "according to your theory, it is the spiritual world, and it may be able to draw etheric energy directly from the spiritual world to support its operation.
However, the damage in this area is extremely serious. With our existing technical capabilities, only less than 20% has been recovered, and the rest is powerless. "
Lin Tuo's heart moved, thinking of the situation where the wishing candle exploded in the first place. Sure enough, this item can indeed draw power from the spiritual world...
This ability is amazing, but unfortunately it is broken.
Otherwise, if it is repaired and then blew it up again, wouldn't it be possible to prostitute a lot of ether for nothing... Well, it's hard to say, maybe it will cost a certain amount.
Thinking wildly, Lin Tuo took it to heart and listened to Qingkong continuing:
"Of course, it can also absorb ether in the air, so in theory it should still be usable."
"But it doesn't respond now." Lin Tuo said.
"Yes," Sai Sai said with a sigh, "this is what we were surprised at at first, and we didn't understand what was going on.
After all, the three areas are strictly speaking, although they are all damaged, but they are not completely unresponsive, especially after we repair them...
Therefore, we guessed that the problem still lies in those spiritual materials. After many discussions, we have a guess. "
"What's the guess?" Lin Tuo asked.
Sai Sai said:
"It is our guess that there is probably a connecting medium between the signal receiving area and the ability release area, which disappeared, which caused this problem."
Lin Tuo's eyes moved.
medium?
He immediately remembered something, that is the "consciousness" that was suspected of being forcibly erased by the derivation sand table...
Originally, the wish candle was self-conscious, but then it disappeared.
"We don't know what this medium is, but we feel it's missing. According to the stimulus theory... we tried to forcibly wake it up by entering commands, and this really had a certain effect."
Sai Sai said.
Seeing Lin Tuo's doubts, she explained again.
To put it simply, it is to stimulate the spirituality of the "sleeping" state by frequently "making a wish"...make it active a little bit.
"This time made us very happy. We felt that we had found the right way, but very quickly, we found that this method is difficult to move."
"why?"
"Quantity, frequency," Sese smiled bitterly, "it does not accept wishes made by machines in disguise. Only intelligent life can make wishes. However, the stimulation of a single wish is too small...
Let's forget it, even if the whole Moon Clan is mobilized to make a wish with the communicator through the broadcast, it will take a long time to wake it up... and we still can't do this.
The communication tower cannot support the communication of the whole people at the same time.
And the worst part is that we found that only wishing at night is effective, and once it is daylight, this stimulation will fail..."
Lin Tuo understands in seconds.
This cliff is for the sake of the candle rule.
He still remembered that this thing can only be used at night, and the wish can only last for one night, and it ends at dawn.
According to Sese, even if all the Yue people make a wish and toss all night, the "number" of wishes will not meet the requirements, and once the day breaks, all previous efforts will be abandoned...
Coming back the next night is equivalent to starting again...without continuation...
This is a pitfall.
However, Lin Tuo was surprised at first. Then, a crazy thought suddenly flashed in his mind, so he was silent for a moment, and then slowly said:
"That is to say, as long as there is a large enough wishing request in a certain area around the candle in one night, it is possible to open the connection and wake it up?"
Qing Kong and Saese looked at each other, nodded and said, "Theoretically, this is the case."
Lin Tuo asked again: "According to your estimation, how many times is enough to make a wish?"
"...At least a billion times." Sai Sai hesitated and said.
Lin Tuo's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Only one billion times?"
He feels he has an idea.
ps: Suddenly I remembered an advertisement: a dream of one person, a dream of two people, a dream of three people, a dream of 1.3 billion people...Well, I feel like you can guess what I am going to write. .
