Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 438: What is an explosive genius!
The library of Luying Royal College is located in the north area of the college.
It took Su Lun and the three of them less than half an hour to arrive.
It is a white building hidden in a botanical garden, full of greenery. The architectural style is as old as a magic castle from a certain magical era, and there are restrictions everywhere with various magic fluctuations.
Oh, no!
A closer look reveals that they are really just several elemental magic towers that have been identified as belonging to a certain ancient era of magic.
I don’t know which ancient ruins it was excavated from and then moved here as a whole.
This is the Royal Library and also a museum.
These magic towers are the private collection of the Bona royal family.
Jike is very familiar with the Great Library and took Su Lun and the two of them to visit.
This is the Royal Library, which is known as the most profound Lu Ying heritage. It is more luxurious than the "Library of Congress" where Mr. Hei works. Because this place is almost only open to nobles, the environmental materials are all used to the extreme, and it can be called truly magnificent.
In addition to the hundreds of millions of classics displayed on the bookshelves, there are also countless collections in the warehouse.
The most important thing is that the library also has a special collection area, which contains many collections, most of which are unique and unique items, including manuscripts, relics, and cursed objects left by alchemist masters of various eras
Su Lun had heard before coming that there was an exclusive collection room for Sir Isaac's relics in Dianxue District. It has a collection of more than 400 autographed manuscripts and various utensils of the alchemy demigod
Su Lun came with Jike to visit and looked at everything except a few confidential information areas.
In addition to marveling at the foundation of Lu Ying's great empire, his omniscient eyes also identified various restrictions in the library.
It seems that the library is a public area, but in fact there are various anti-theft methods hidden.
No, Su Lun saw a strange cursed object as soon as he walked to the entrance of the collection hall.
It was a bronze statue of a hairless cat, its eyes scrutinizing everyone who entered the collection.
This is the famous [Sphynx Cat Statue].
Others only know that this thing is an ancient collection in the library, but they don't know that in the field of professional thieves, this is a very troublesome magic object.
One of the difficulties in the "ultimate challenge" of the Thief King certification is here.
Su Lun took a look and identified it as a dark gold quality magic weapon with the curse of causality.
The collection introduction board on the side describes its origin in detail. It 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 robberies.
It can predict a specific future by sensing approaching humans.
This specific future is: if someone wants to come in and steal something.
Before the act of "stealing" is carried out, it can predict that this result will occur in the future, and then issue a warning in advance, triggering the anti-theft device in the original cemetery.
Here, you will be arrested in advance by the librarian.
This is an extraordinary power that alchemy cannot currently explain.
Many thieves with evil intentions were caught in this level before they could even take a look at the Treasure Hall.
Su Lun got this information from that guy Kit.
But in the end, too many people were captured by this cursed object, and its function was speculated by the outside world. This is also considered one of the top secret information in the field of professional thieves.
When Su Lun saw it, it turned out to be the case.
Fortunately, he is just here to step in. Kit will be the one to take action in the future. There will be no "theft" and the magic early warning device will not be triggered
After passing the bronze cat statue, Su Lun and the others entered an ancient mechanical elevator.
This is also the only way to the Treasure Collection Room.
"Kacha", "Kacha"
There was a sound of gears biting, and the elevator slowly descended.
This elevator looks like an antique that is hundreds of years old. Even if it has an anti-rust coating, there are still rust spots on the cage.
Jike was happily introducing some information about the elevator to his teacher.
This is not the energy provided by a steam boiler, but a special alchemy device similar to a perpetual motion machine.
Coincidentally, this ancient mechanical elevator was designed by Sir Isaac himself.
After descending about four floors, the elevator stopped.
This is the Snow Collection area of the library.
Most of the collection is antiques such as manuscripts, secret volumes, and ancient magic books.
As soon as he entered the Dianxue District, Su Lun sensed his surroundings and muttered in his heart: "No wonder Mr. Hei said there was nothing he could do. This place is really impeccable if you want to come in and steal things."
Su Lun's understanding of space laws is very high, but as soon as he came in, he felt like he had walked into a confined space full of "glue", which was very uncomfortable.
Here, teleportation is very difficult, consuming a hundred times more energy than the outside world, and there are space traps everywhere. Those traps will make people who teleport over have a high probability of being involved in the turbulence of space where they don't know where to go.
And after sensing it, Su Lun also found that the energy particles in the space of the collection room were in a state of disorder at all times. In other words, a large "forbidden magic area" is arranged here.
Internal air circulation device, independent sewer, the most advanced fire protection equipment
The management has thought of almost every possible way for someone to take advantage of the situation.
Su Lun raised his eyebrows slightly. Although he felt embarrassed, he was not surprised.
Because this is all known information.
And the trouble doesn't end there.
Looking around again, he also saw that every collection was placed in a display cabinet that looked like a glass cover.
The Omniscient Child took a look and found that 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 solid runes and magic marks.
While taking into account its beauty, this cover has absolute defense that cannot be cracked by artillery.
And the most amazing thing is that these display cabinets have the seventh-level space spell [Space Spider Web Adhesion] solidified on them!
These collections appear to be independent, but in fact 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 under the sea.
Even if a high-level cursed object such as a black scythe is used to cut an item, even a space ability user cannot stuff it into another secondary space.
In other words, whoever wants to steal it must keep it in his hand.
With various tracking and positioning devices, even if a certain collection is stolen, it is enough for the Luying Military Intelligence Agency to hunt him to death.
However
Su Lun took a look and found that this space restriction had no impact on entering another dimension.
This is the only good news I have seen so far.
However, it is precisely because of these strict anti-theft measures that the Luying Royal Library has recorded hundreds of thefts in the past century, with almost no success.
In the past twenty years, only one "King of Thieves", Carlo Merdis, has succeeded in stealing a famous painting.
Because it is extremely difficult, it has become the "ultimate challenge" for the professional certification of the Luying Thieves Alliance.
When Su Lun saw this, he felt troubled: "There are no flaws at all. Even if that guy Kit comes, I'm afraid there's nothing he can do."
Coming here, Su Lun’s eyes were really opened.
Just maintaining such a huge restriction around the clock consumes a very exaggerated amount of energy.
This also shows that the Luying royal family is wealthy.
[Dwarf’s Gold Ring], [Loki’s Helmet of Deceit], [Heimdall’s Horn Galal], [Freya’s Gold Necklace], [The Will of the Lord of All Things], [Novo The Web of Destiny of the Three En Sisters】【Magic Ring Dropnir】
One by one, rare treasures that only appear in various classics are placed in front of you.
Su Lun felt that he already had enough treasures.
But here, there are not a hundred cursed objects at the "forbidden object" level, but eighty.
There are also several legendary and epic treasures.
Seeing this made Su Lun feel hot in his heart.
These top-level cursed objects with special effects are placed here, like witnesses of the years.
The background of the Luying royal family is really exaggerated and scary.
Su Lun is so jealous
However, now he is no longer in a position where he needs to rely entirely on external objects to save his life.
Although these cursed objects are good, almost none of them are consistent with his profession.
Even if you hold it in your hand, it is still a collection.
Because most of these cursed objects have horrifyingly exaggerated curse properties and very limited use, even a seventh-level professional or above will lose half his life if he uses them. They can only be left here to eat ashes.
Thinking about this, the restlessness in my heart becomes much more balanced
When Su Lun and the three of them came to visit, there were several groups of people visiting the museum.
The most eye-catching thing is a group of eight or nine-year-old children.
They were wearing uniforms, and there were about forty or fifty of them.
It was chattering and noisy.
Jike also recognized the junior students and introduced them: "Those are the students from the Fourth Royal Preparatory College in Rington, where I studied before. Every year, the college organizes new students to visit the library."
Su Lun nodded and thought it was good.
These noisy little guys can also attract the attention of administrators.
He followed and looked over.
The children were also curious about everything and asked around, and Su Lun also got some useful information.
"Mr. Commentator, why do these collections need to be covered up?"
"Because it is to protect them, and also to protect visitors. The cursed properties of any alchemical objects will dissipate and pollute the outside world"
"Why does that [Crystal Skull] glow?"
"Because it is an evil cursed object. It is a manifestation of its cursed properties, not a real light"
""
Su Lun wanted to observe every detail here, so he looked very carefully.
Besides, these collections are really interesting.
The more advanced you are and the more knowledgeable you are, the more you can be inspired and harvested from the wisdom crystallization of these ancient great alchemists.
Refining techniques, runes, design ideas, treatment of curse characteristics, and everything else.
Su Lun walked and watched, like a human camera, recording everything in the collection.
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 based on those manuscripts.
The most eye-catching thing among them is naturally the black notebook.
Su Lun walked over and identified it, and it turned out to be [Isaac’s Alchemy Manuscript II]!
This is the same as the one in his hand. It also describes a special cursed object that involves cause and effect. It also comes with a learning buff halo.
It is a good treasure in itself to assist in knowledge comprehension.
Su Lun also knew the content recorded in it in advance, which was the alchemy blueprint [Issac's Giant Power] mastered by Lu Ying's military.
A kind of 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 breeding outfit.
Although I don’t know if it can be fused, I want to refine it first.
“It’s really authentic.”
The look in Su Lun's eyes moved slightly.
The reason why he wanted to come here in person was actually to confirm whether the items displayed in the library were genuine and 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 accomplishments 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 something from a thousand years ago. Although there are many things here, they are all incomplete and very miscellaneous.
There are design drawings, potion formulas, alchemy, some graffiti, etc., various fragments scattered here and there.
Except for a few high imitations and fakes, the others were identified as genuine.
Su Lun thought that when Kit came to visit, it would be better to take him with him
Because it was his master's relic, Su Lun looked at it for a while.
As he watched, the group of visiting young students also poured in.
Su Lun didn't want to join in the fun with these people, so he just wanted to tell Sabina and Jike to leave.
I didn’t expect that the big fat commentator who was accompanying me actually said something shocking.
A young student asked: "Mr. Isaac, I heard that you are a descendant of Sir Isaac, the great alchemical demigod of a thousand years ago?"
The commentator responded: "Of course! You are my great-grandfather. Many of these collections were donated to the library by my grandfather and are heirlooms of our Isaac family. You see, The name of the donor next to this is my grandfather Dodoru Isaac. Look, there is also the year that His Majesty granted my family the title of hereditary noble, 921 in the Luying calendar. Oh, that was a grand event The investiture ceremony”
"Wow, it's true! You are so awesome!"
""
A group of little guys became excited instantly.
The fat man was also pleased with himself with all kinds of envious eyes. This status alone brought him too much honor and praise.
This operation made Su Lun on the side look confused.
He had heard someone calling the fat man "Mr. Isaac" before, and thought it was a repeated surname.
After all, although this surname is famous, it is not rare.
He originally guessed that it was passed down from some collateral relative of his senior sister, and wanted to find out more. But when he heard this, the fat man said with certainty that his ancestor was Isaac's biological son.
Hearing this, Su Lun knew that this was a fake.
Jike on the side had obviously heard the boast of this legendary figure, and excitedly introduced to Su Lun and Sabina: "The commentator is very famous in London, because he is Sir Isaac The real descendants are those who have been canonized by the royal family! The Isaac Family Memorial Hall in Queens was built by this gentleman’s family."
Hearing this, even Sabina showed strong interest and took a closer look at the fat man.
After all, Sir Isaac's aura is too dazzling. The descendant of the demigod has the aura of genius.
Su Lun smiled and shook his head, completely uninterested, "Let's go."
Jike is a little confused. His teacher is not interested in Isaac's descendants?
But he also walked out.
Sabina looked at Su Lun's expression and guessed something. She took his arm and asked softly: "Sir, do you think there was something wrong with that person just now?"
Su Lun shrugged, showing a dumbfounded expression: "Although I don't know where that guy's ancestor's Isaac's relics came from, and how he persuaded the royal family to get the canonization. But as far as I know, Isaac The knight only has two daughters and no sons."
Sabina then understood why Su Lun had the expression just now, "So, you are saying that he is a liar?"
Su Lun nodded: "Yes."
"Ah"
Jike on the side heard this, with a disappointed and confused expression on his face.
Although he would not doubt his teacher's words, he was still curious: "Teacher, why do you know that Isaac only has two daughters and no other children? What if it is true?"
"Nothing is unexpected."
Su Lun interrupted Jike.
After pondering for a moment, he said lightly, "Because I know both of Sir Isaac's daughters."
"???"
When Jike heard this, he was stunned 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 on the side turned her eyes and guessed something, "Is it the leader?"
Su Lun nodded: "Yes."
Jike was stunned for a long time, and then suddenly realized that he seemed to have understood it correctly.
His expression suppressed some kind of shock, and his voice was slightly tangled when he asked: "Teacher, what did you just say?"
Su Lun shook his head and had no intention of going into details: "Let's talk about it when we go out."
Now that "Dawn" has gained momentum and he has the ability to protect himself, it is time to explain some of his family fortune to his disciple.
But there are restrictions everywhere in the library, so it’s not convenient to talk about something too secret
Not long after, the three of them finished visiting the collection room and walked out of the library.
Walking on the campus boulevard again, Su Lun briefly told Yejik some information, "My teacher is the founder of Puppetry, Ms. Serea, who is also the wife of Sir Isaac. So Sir Isaac is your Grandfather. You also have a junior brother and a junior sister. I will take you to meet him in two days. From now on, you can stay with me. I also have a few in my war workshop. The 'munitions master' from Mafa has a professional heritage in explosives that is just as high as 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 has been observing Jike for a long time and knows that his personality is more suitable for staying in the laboratory and doing research.
Jike was extremely shocked when he heard Su Lun's words.
He never expected that his master would be so awesome!
He looked at Su Lun, so shocked that he could no longer speak, "I, I"
Su Lun knew that it would take some time to digest these situations, so he did not say much, and said: "You should take care of the affairs of the academy these days. If it is not necessary, you may rarely come to the academy in the future."
The Luying Empire is very backward in the fields of ammunition engineering and explosive technology. Jike is mostly self-study at the Royal Academy. On the contrary, it will be greatly restricted and a waste of talent and love.
He stayed at the Royal Academy because it had advanced laboratories and low-cost materials that were unavailable elsewhere.
But in Sullun's war workshop, there is no shortage of materials and laboratories for the time being.
The only things worthy of nostalgia are those ancient classics.
However, as long as you are still a student in the college, you can still borrow it if you have nothing to do in the future.
As for the relationship between classmates, it seems that it is not better for Jike.
Su Lun had obviously considered everything, thought of something, and smiled again: "As for that classmate Phoebe, I think you can ask her to have a meal first. Keep in touch with her more."
As he said that, he looked at Jike again and said: "Be more confident. You are my disciple, no less than anyone else."
"Yeah!"
When Jike heard this, his eyes trembled, and there was an indescribable excitement in his heart.
At this moment, he felt inexplicably confident!
Only then did he understand why the lady said such things,
As a disciple of his teacher, he is no worse than any noble!
The three of them continued to wander around the campus.
Su Lun has already observed the various layouts of the library, but the clearer he becomes, the slimmer he feels that the possibility of getting the [Isaac Alchemy Manuscript] is slim.
Looking at his teacher's deep thought, Jike guessed something and asked tentatively: "Teacher, you said you came to the academy this time for something, is it for the library's relics?"
The library has many treasures, including many manuscripts and relics of various alchemist masters.
But now that he knows that his teacher is a descendant of the Isaac lineage, it is not difficult to guess something.
"Yeah."
Su Lun never intended to hide anything from his disciple.
I didn't tell him before, just because I was afraid that this disciple would know about it, and it would not be hidden from the observation of some high-level professionals, and the flaw would be exposed in advance.
Now that it’s out, it doesn’t matter.
He said directly: "That manuscript is very important, and I must get it. But now it seems that it is a bit difficult."
What did Jike think of and asked again: "Teacher, do you think it is difficult to impose security restrictions on the library?"
"Yeah."
Su Lun shared the information he had observed.
The original intention was to let Sabina, a professional intelligence officer, refer to it. After all, she is a professional in this field.
He said: "The ban in the library is the most complex and complete multi-defense method I have ever seen. There are magic bans, space traps, anti-theft covers, and even fire protection, ventilation, and drainage. There is nothing to take advantage of. Machines. If you crack them one by one, there is simply not enough time. Moreover, once you enter and trigger certain hidden security restrictions, you may even be trapped inside and die."
Sabina also had a solemn face as she listened. She thought about it and couldn't find any solution. She pondered without any response.
This is the "ultimate challenge" of the thief profession, and it is naturally not that easy.
Jike looked at the serious and thoughtful expressions on the faces of the two elders. Thinking that he might be able to help, he said weakly: "Teacher, I have an idea."
Su Lun glanced at him with a questioning look, "Oh?"
Jike said: "Actually, if you just want to go in, you don't need to worry about the defensive barriers. That way 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 have learned in engineering courses before that the empire's top security experts designed a series of wards that no one can break through. What I mean is"
Jike shook his head and said: "Actually, it can be broken through with explosives."
Su Lun was confused, "???"
It's not that he hasn't thought about explosives, but with the library's level of defense, even tens of thousands of tons of explosives might not be able to explode.
The entire academy may be blown up by then, and the treasure room's barrier may not be able to be broken.
If he really made that kind of noise, not to mention hurting innocent people, Lu Ying would probably fight him to the death.
Jike obviously knew that he had been misunderstood by Su Lun. He quickly explained: "The engineering teacher previously proposed a hypothetical topic, saying that no external force can break the structure of the collection room. But I think it can. Then With the mentality of giving it a try, I made detailed calculations and finally came to the conclusion that as long as the method is appropriate, it can be broken open with explosives."
When Su Lun heard this, his eyes twitched inexplicably.
He suddenly realized that his disciple seemed to have discovered a blind spot, so he asked: "How to operate it specifically, do you have a plan?"
Jike nodded and said: "In fact, any solid object can be destroyed if we change its stable structure. The library collection room is a perfect 32-hedron structure. It itself has super stability The material poured in the outer layer has reached the Class VIII explosion resistance standard known as absolute defense. Of course, that is not important. What is important is that ultra-high temperature and high-frequency vibration can directly disintegrate this stable structure. There is a story in Goblin Engineering 'Ophrast Singularity Explosion Theory', as long as you find eight points of the 3-dodecahedron and conduct directional explosions, you can use one thousandth of the energy of frontal destruction to achieve the same explosion effect."
Su Lun frowned after hearing this series of professional descriptions.
Although he is not proficient in explosive engineering, he generally understands it.
He discovered the problem again and asked, "But even one thousandth of the blasting energy would require at least several hundred tons of explosives?"
This is a theoretically feasible solution.
But it is impossible for that volume of medicine to be installed at any singular point.
Jike obviously knew this a long time ago, and added: "Ordinary high explosives do require so much, and it is impossible to install them successfully. But if it is a special explosive, there is no need at all."
After a pause, he said directly: "Ordinary explosives usually cannot meet the effects of ultra-high temperature and high-frequency tremors at the same time. But I found an ancient dwarf engineering classic in the mining library warehouse, which contains It is recorded that a special kind of explosive for mining is called [multi-layer stacked melt bomb]. It is an explosive specially used by ancient dwarves to break various solid mineral layers. I have calculated before that the amount of about one hundred kilograms of explosives can be controlled as long as the directional blasting is carried out. With such power, without even making much movement, it can instantly open a hole with a diameter of two meters directly above the collection room."
Hearing this, Su Lun and Sabina next to him looked at each other, and both saw the shock in the other's eyes.
They had been thinking about how to break the restrictions in the treasure room,
But Jike's idea is simple and crude, don't go around it at all.
What is an explosive genius?
This is it!
Jike’s words opened up a new way of thinking.
This method of blasting even eliminates the risk of infiltration and solves the problem of entry and exit in ten seconds.
After 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 solutions he had come up with before!
He asked directly: "Can you make [multi-layer stacked melt bomb]?"
Jike nodded, "In order to confirm that my calculations were correct, I made a small number of finished products and actually tested them."
He looked at Su Lun and said extremely seriously: "As long as there are enough materials, there will be absolutely no problem."
As long as this explosive genius talks about his professional field, his tone is unusually confident and certain!
