Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 142: Ian’s Alchemy Workshop (2/3)
A piece of armor, of course, can't do anything, and it's hard to block the short bows and arrows of the natives.
However, hundreds of thousands of armor pieces are connected in series to form a whole, but they can form an external defense module armed with ether, which can block the fangs and claws of monsters and aliens or the impact of bullets from alchemy firearms.
If coupled with the enhanced energy supply of the ether furnace core, even alchemy cannons can block it!
In the final analysis, it is the Governor of Port Harrison, and Viscount Grant's strongest trump card to suppress the surrounding aborigines. Naturally, the more spare parts of this defense module, the better.
Although theoretically speaking, this kind of most basic inscription defense armor piece can be made by anyone who has the level of a junior inscription craftsman, but not everyone can have such a steady hand, and can gain the trust of the viscount. This is obviously a very critical job that cannot be missed.
What's more, it took Ian nearly half an hour to engrave such a piece of armor.
If one fights with a strong man of the same level, the speed of armor plate consumption may be several per second.
"Destruction is always more difficult than creation... I don't rely on the silver chip to assist, but rely on my own basic skills, which is probably close to the level of an official inscription craftsman. The assessment may be a bit difficult."
End of this successful drawing, put down the nail plate and lithography pen, Ian stretched his waist: "Well ~ today's task is completed, the progress is not very obvious."
Looking sideways at his workbench, he couldn't help complaining: "The tools are still too bad, and Harrison Port can't buy a full set of inscription tools for normal craftsmen."
The young man who has not yet fully developed has a handsome face, with a pair of light blue eyes, and his waist-length hair is braided into a long braid, hanging from his shoulders to his waist.
He was wearing a black hooded off-shoulder vest, the white robe that he should have worn was wrapped around his waist, and the crocodile leather waist bag was tied by a belt, which seemed to contain many things.
Even for the good-looking Terran people, Ian's appearance, which has gradually grown, is extremely stunning. If Tang Zhu appears in a strange place, he will definitely attract a lot of attention, so he usually goes out. Cover your face with a hood and stay out of trouble.
But the good thing is that he really seldom goes out, and even if he travels on weekdays, he moves quickly. Only during festivals and important gatherings within the Bai Zhimin, he will gradually show his prominence as a disciple of Elder Pude, A psyker with a talent for alchemy inscriptions appears.
As an ordinary person, looking too good-looking may cause a lot of trouble.
However, as the future leader of a family, with outstanding appearance and ability, it can make everyone remember deeply and provide significant cohesion.
At the very least, when many of the white people couldn't recognize all their relatives, they all recognized Ian.
A face that is memorable and even recognizable at a glance is also a kind of extraordinary power.
"Today's schedule has been completed, it's time to rest."
Packing up the nail plate and the inscription carving knife, Ian put away the lithography pen with great care—even though the lithography pen is very old, it is actually the most valuable tool in his body now.
Just the crystallization of ultra-high-purity lightning-attribute elements at the tip of the pen is worth fifty silver coins... You know, a buckskin coat worn by a nobleman is only about twenty talers.
On the body of the pen, you can use different buttons to switch the inscription arrays of different thicknesses and sizes of the lithography knife, which is also worth dozens of talers.
With just such a pen, you can buy more than half a cow, and the price is comparable to the price of all the materials on a monster of the first energy level... And after the light core of a thunder-hunting jellyfish is refined and processed into element crystals, at least Thirty nibs can also be made.
——What is the added value of technology? What is a cutting-edge processed product? What is sudden profit?
Since knowing the value of his pen, Ian has a deep understanding of why Viscount Grant is trying his best to train him to become an official alchemist, inscription craftsman, and even a scholar.
Really, it is really too much money...
Six years have passed since the teenager awakened his past life memories, and the teacher has also left for four years.
Thanks to Hilliard's dedicated teaching and the silver chip left behind, even if Ian is learning inscriptions and alchemy at the same time, two subjects that are hard enough for ordinary people to learn alone, can easily go hand in hand , directly across the apprenticeship and junior professional levels, and move towards the formal professional level.
In addition, his sand armor apprentice true form practice, as well as the wave-singer's practice, also accumulated abundantly.
If the large amount of source quality stored in the ancient dragon's core is counted, Ian's real combat power is probably second only to the two second-level powerhouses in Port Harrison.
Whether it's Elder Pu De, the Viscount's two assistants, or the mercenary leader Lübeck, at most they just draw their cards and fight him to a close.
Even, it will be slightly inferior to him.
In the entire Nanling Redwood forest area, there are only a few sacred places where the aborigines enshrine the totem spirits and totem masters.
But Ian doesn't like fighting.
If possible, he would rather read a few more books, do an experiment, or inscribe a few more inscriptions to improve his proficiency, rather than waste his energy fighting.
His time is precious, he has to do a lot of research, and there are a series of plans and timetables waiting to be realized in the future, and he doesn't want to waste it on meaningless disputes.
Of course, this does not mean that Ian is a gentle and nice gentleman.
On the contrary, this means that if Ian makes a move, his enemies will never have the opportunity to waste his time.
However, in the past four years, Ian's life has been quite peaceful.
There were no unsightly enemies running over to waste his time, which reassured him that he had accumulated four years of knowledge and technology, and gradually matured his body, completely meeting the requirements of Shakai Apprentice's next advancement. Conditions for continuing to practice.
In the same four years, Ian has established his reputation in the 'appraisal circle'.
The method of appraising a store relies on reputation, reputation and hype, and then earns money from the rich with high prices.
With the support and recommendation of Viscount Grant, Ian, relying on his psychic power and the assistance of the silver chip, identified minerals, herbs, and unknown brand-new monster materials for many wealthy businessmen, sublimators, and even alchemists. and some ancient artifacts.
In the viscount's view, Ian's psionic powers tend to be 'analysis' and 'perspective', and he can see some changes in the psionic field.
This is a rather advanced observation-type psionic ability. With a little cultivation, one can develop extraordinary eyesight.
And Ian did not disappoint him.
Except for a few times when the identification of monster materials was not completely successful, most of the natural minerals and herbs, and even the dilapidated ancient relics, the young man was able to tell their related attributes and possible functions one by one.
Especially for ores and ancient relics, because of his ability to see through and analyze, Ian can even accurately deduce the internal structure of an unknown ore, and even discover the precious source matter crystals hidden in the depths.
As for the ancient relics, because Ian can see the changes in the spiritual energy field, he can always accurately judge the structure of all the source matter of the other party, and then use his knowledge of alchemy and inscriptions to deduce its possible effect, the accuracy rate is above 80%.
This is something that many formal appraisers cannot do.
Today's Ian is well-known in the entire Southern Border Appraisal circle. His strength is certainly a part, but his youth and appearance are even more important points.
There was even a wealthy businessman from Nauman City. After Ian found a piece of natural pure silver crystal among many primitive ores, he not only wanted to spend a lot of money to invite Ian to work in his chamber of commerce, but also wanted to betroth his daughter give him.
Ian is not stupid, so he naturally declined, and this wealthy businessman didn't lose his goodwill despite regrets. Every time there is a need, he will always come to Ian for appraisal.
Naturally.
These biases are all disguised.
Actually, with the ability to predict the horizon and the silver chip, there is nothing Ian can't identify, nothing that can't be picked up, let alone mistakes.
But who would be so stupid to show everything before the fledgling?
So he deliberately set several shortcomings and advantages for himself, such as the "inaccurate identification of animal-type things" and the advantages of "inanimate things".
The former is the shortcoming of all observation-type psykers who can observe natural psychic fields, while the latter, mainly because Ian wanted to obtain more information about ancient relics from the pre-epoch, so he deliberately showed his own advantages , Let more people send more unknown ancient relics to him for identification.
In this way, he may be able to gradually piece together the whole picture of Terra in the previous era by relying on the information library of the silver chip.
This is a very long process. The four and a half pre-era relics identified by Ian in the past four years are fragments of some kind of thermal insulation facility, alloy fruit knives from the pre-epoch—even the rust and outer coating Washed off, Ian really wanted to curse at that time - the ordinary heating kettle, the rotating base of an ancient statue, and the alloy structure fragments of a large engineering creation.
As long as these things are really useful, they are not useless at all!
However, Ian is not impatient. It is impossible to send a truly useful ancient relic to a novice like him for identification, and the owner will not come to a place like Harrison Port.
All he needs now is fame.
If you have a reputation, you are not afraid of not having a chance.
Just when Ian was about to pick up a book and do some alchemy problems to relax his mind, he suddenly heard the sound of wind chimes coming from the door of the shop downstairs.
"Oh? An identified guest?"
Slightly raising his eyebrows, Ian naturally knew the purpose of the person who came to his store and rang the wind chime in advance.
The boy raised his head and showed a commercial smile: "Hope is something interesting."
Put down the book in your hand and go downstairs.
Ian greeted the tall visitor: "I've been waiting for a long time."
