Vol 2 Chapter 1187: Alchemy Conference

Alchemy has a long history and is inclusive, and is currently the largest branch of magic.
In a broad sense, alchemy involves both the transformation of material composition, the stone into gold, the use of different materials to make magical items, the construction of spell runes, and the processing of herbs and other plants into pharmacy, that is, potions.
If you reach the level of Niko Leme, you can even refine your body and gain eternal life.
Because the coverage is too wide, many branches are independent, and many branches are not adapted to the development of the times, and gradually eliminated. Therefore, referring to alchemy, it generally refers to the processing of different materials to make magic items and construct spells. Text, using ancient magic to create new magic, that is, alchemy in the narrow sense.
But in a broad sense or in a narrow sense, the biggest difference between alchemy and other magic has never changed.
As long as the wizards who have a certain understanding of alchemy know that the core of alchemy lies in innovation!
Yes, this is an area of ​​magic that is more important than innovation.
Magic fields such as spells, metamorphos, etc., a mature spell or magic may not change for centuries, and the current wizard uses this spell almost exactly the same as the wizards of the millennium. But alchemy is not like this. Don't say it for thousands of years. It is even hard to see the alchemy formula decades ago.
Alchemy has been making progress, it is like the science of Muggles.
It can be said that the development of science has changed the world of Muggles, as has alchemy. Over the past few centuries, the development of alchemy has changed the world of magic, changing the life of wizards, and the speed of this change is getting faster and faster, and the status of alchemy is becoming more and more important.
In this case, communication and learning are also the normal state of normal alchemists.
Although the current situation is tense, as the most important exchange activity in the field of alchemy, and attracted by the sun's remains, more than 10,000 wizards from all over the world came to Cairo to participate in this international alchemy conference.
In the next two months, Ai Wen saw thousands of alchemy products that he had never seen or even thought about before at the International Alchemy Conference. His eyes were wide open and his eyes widened.
He never thought that he would see so many alchemy products, and many creative ideas were unheard of.
There are also lectures by alchemy masters who have benefited Ai Wen and learned a lot.
Because there were so many games, Ai Wen chose to participate in public speeches and presentations that he thought were more important or interesting.
For example, the combination of magic and technology, as well as the production of magic weapons.
These are the content that Aiwen is more interested in. The combination of magic and technology is a relatively new field. Although the attitudes of the wizards to Muggles have always been conservative, they think they don’t understand anything, but they have to admit that they have been in the past 100 years. Come, the Muggle world is developing very fast, and technology has begun to affect the magic world invisibly.
For example, cars, motorcycles, radios, and other items made of Muggles have already entered the wizard's family.
Although mechanical items have such shortcomings compared to magic, convenience is undeniable.
In this context, the combination of magic and technology has become an emerging trend.
The sorcerers who collect the Muggles like Mr. Weasley and transform the car are actually not a minority.
It’s just that everyone is sneaking and not saying it publicly.
Many alchemists from Muggles have also begun research to bring more Muggle items into the magic world.
In the past year, Alchem’s alchemy items have always adhered to the idea of ​​combining magic and technology.
He started from the transformation of Fred and George's mischievous products, created a lot of gadgets, and accumulated some experience.
But he did not expect that the wizards' understanding of Muggle technology far exceeded his expectations.
Ai Wen attended a speech by an alchemist from Japan. This guy actually got a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Muggle University and is trying to make complex industrial equipment with alchemy and magic...
If this kind of thing happens in the UK, I don’t even think about it.
If the wizard dares to do this and publicize it with great fanfare, then he must be the primary target of those pure blood wizards, Voldemort and Death Eaters. Waiting for him is not death or Azkaban life imprisonment.
The fusion of the wizard's magic and Muggle technology, the biggest objection comes from the pure blood wizards who think they are noble. For historical reasons, the number, number, size, power, etc. of the European pure-blood wizards far exceed the rest of the world. Especially in the UK, the resistance here is the biggest.
It can be said that the magic world of Europe is tending to be conservative, and the wizards do not like to change.
Needless to say, it is the kind of change that merges with the Muggle world, which makes them feel uncomfortable!
Therefore, in the field of combining magic and technology, Europe is far behind other regions.
European alchemy is more traditional, and the direction and philosophy of the wizards are still in the past.
Their highest goal is to hope that one day they will be able to make gold and make elixir like Niko Leme.
Twelve uses such as dragon blood are what they study.
By attending an international alchemy conference and conducting academic discussions with wizards from other countries, Ai Wen felt that the British magic world really needed reform.
In addition, he also listened to several presentations on magic weapons.
Magic weapon production is a hot spot in alchemy in recent decades. In this respect, wizards from the United States are clearly ahead of other countries.
In a product showcased by a semi-official alchemy team employed by the US Magic Congress, Avon saw their newly developed magic items, and the team made a breakthrough in magic weapon transformation. These magic weapons are not wands, but the transformation of cold weapons.
They will spell the alchemy runes, engravings and ancient magic on cold weapons such as swords, daggers, bows and arrows.
This is not a new idea. The combination of magic and weapons has been tried since the Middle Ages.
The original idea was to let the Muggles use magic. The wizards used magic to give weapons such as ice, flames, or the like, or made them sharper, but the effect was not very good. It was difficult for Muggles to master these powers. A powerful magical weapon can easily cause accidental injuries. How to make magic last longer is also a problem.
After the wizard's secrecy law was promulgated, such transformations became illegal.
Except for the black wizards, no wizard dares to do this...
After such a transformation was banned, the claim of magical weapons disappeared for a long time.
But this alchemy team from the United States used a special method to transform the weapons. It was not the idea of ​​the past. They made the weapons become magic wands to assist the wizards in using magic. These magic weapons were not used for Muggles, but for the wizards. prepare.
While evading the secrecy law, let the wizard get rid of the wand and have a stronger attack power...
