Besides the Divine Machine Creation that Old Ma has mastered, none of the other Eight Wonders are so easily obtained.
“Everyone has a chance to become an Other, so shouldn’t everyone have a chance to learn Divine Machine Creation? It just depends on whether you can learn it or not.”
Ma Xianhong tossed the book onto the table and said while drinking tea.
It was indeed as he had thought.
Holding to…
“You were just talking about another idea…”
“You barely convinced me.”
Ma Xianhong put down his teacup, looked at Shimizu, who was picking up the book recording Divine Machine Creation, and smiled slightly.
“At least you made me realize that my future path will be difficult, so I don’t mind having another friend, even if I don’t know whether you can help me in the future, or whether you will help me.”
Shimizu didn't take off his armor, opened the book, and quickly flipped through it.
The camera in the armor's eye quickly photographed the contents of the pages.
Ma Xianhong continued:
“But at least I believe in you. People say that the Mo family disciples value promises, uphold righteousness, and disregard death. I believe you are the same. At least in the future, I can have one more chance.”
“Don’t worry, Old Ma, I’m really awesome, look.”
After Shimizu finished recording, he heard Ma Xianhong's words, manipulated the platinum armor to raise his arm, and aimed it at a large tree in the distance of the courtyard.
A blue freezing ray appeared, and in just an instant, the tree turned into a beautiful ice sculpture like a work of art.
Compared to the Ark Reactor, which requires advanced nano-robots to manufacture, the manufacturing difficulty of freezing coolant is lower, requiring only a qualified set of equipment.
After the platinum armor was completed, Shimizu had already started preparing a batch of freezing coolant before departure, creating more than a dozen cans.
Two cans were placed in the armor, half of the remaining were stored in the Devouring Pouch, and the other half were placed in the rented suite, stored in a safe, ready to be summoned at any time.
“This…”
“I didn’t use Qi. This is just a physical phenomenon caused by chemical reagents. You can try it and see how hard this ice is.”
Shimizu smiled confidently at Ma Xianhong.
Ma Xianhong's expression was awkward.
“Then don’t mess with this tree. I still want to enjoy the shade and sleep there in the summer.”
“With this thing, isn’t it more enjoyable to enjoy the shade in the summer? You don’t even need to turn on the air conditioner.”
After a simple joke, Ma Xianhong also realized that even if Shimizu was bragging just now, he must have a lot of tricks up his sleeve.
Without the help of Qi, relying solely on scientific means, he could directly freeze a tree like those science fiction characters in movies and comics.
This made Ma Xianhong have a bit more expectation for the boast Shimizu had just made.
Maybe he can really help him at that time?
Night fell.
Inside a room in Biyou Village.
Shimizu slurped on a bowl of Baixiang tonkotsu instant noodles while carefully flipping through the two books in front of him.
One is Divine Machine Creation, and the other is Mo Family Divine Machine. Looking at them side by side can bring more gains.
Shimizu tilted his head slightly to think.
This method has high requirements for perception, Qi control ability, and Qi quality, and there is a threshold for most people.
And weapon refiners themselves are a special profession with certain requirements for Others. The overlap of the two means that the proportion of people with the ability to learn Divine Machine Creation among Others is indeed relatively small.
No wonder in the original work, Old Ma didn't hide Divine Machine Creation at all, but only Qiu Rang in the entire Biyou Village could learn it.
Moreover, the quality and quantity of the magical artifacts produced are not as good as Ma Xianhong's.
The Eight Wonders are unique skills that transcend the cognition of Others. Mastering the Eight Wonders will not make one weak, and the upper limit will also be raised, but how much can be exerted still depends on the person.
At least in Shimizu's view, if the relationship between the Eight Wonders and the so-called Immortal Techniques is excluded, the practical value of Quanzhen's Dan Technique, Sanyi Sect's Reverse Threefold, Wang Family's Divine Painting, Tang Sect's Dan Devour, etc., may not be lower than the Eight Wonders.
But no matter what, the value of Divine Machine Creation is beyond doubt, and its effect on Shimizu is even more unquestionable.
Closing the book, Shimizu took out a bit of scrap left over from making platinum from the Devouring Pouch.
This is a small piece of silver-white chromium alloy, not large in volume. It doesn't matter even if it is scrapped, which is just right for trying.
Abundant Qi was injected into the metal block, and then Shimizu pressed the other side of the chromium alloy with the other hand, using Lihun Chakra to heat it.
In a high-temperature state, it can better reshape these objects, and the existence of Qi can isolate the reaction between the object and external oxygen, avoiding oxidation, and also ensuring that the alloy will not damage its internal structure due to the increase in temperature.
It can also forcibly fix the atomic structure inside the alloy, ensuring that the molecular movement will not be too intense due to high temperature, causing the properties of the alloy to change.
The latter step is very difficult, and the quality and control ability of Qi have reached a very high requirement.
“A miscalculation, I should have tried it with a metal element first, that would have been much easier, but fortunately it was still successful.”
A few minutes later, Shimizu looked at a slender flying needle that had been shaped and was still in a red-hot state, and breathed a sigh of relief.
But it's not over yet, there are other steps to follow.
That is to use the special method in Divine Machine Creation to resonate the Qi injected into the flying needle with the atoms in the material, stimulate it to absorb energy, and let its own Qi transform the object in the shortest time.
As long as it is skilled enough, it can even transform most common substances in three to five seconds.
This chromium alloy flying needle is composed of multiple substances. When transforming the object, it can only transform one of them. As long as most of it is transformed, it is actually considered a complete transformation and can be used to create magical artifacts.
And if you want to transform multiple substances in it at once, the difficulty will be much higher.
However, if it can be divided into multiple times, one substance at a time, then it will only take a little more time.
This is what Shimizu did.
A few hours later.
The cold moon sank in the west, and the morning sun rose.
A ray of sunshine accompanied by the aroma of food floated into the small courtyard.
“Professor Zhuo, it’s time for breakfast.”
Ma Xianhong sat down at the stone table in the small courtyard, holding two bowls of beef noodles.
A flying knife, its surface engraved with layers of profound sealing runes, flew out of the window, using its handle to hook the bag containing the beef noodles and bring it into the room.
"Yo! As expected of a senior intellectual, you learn things so fast!"
Ma Xianhong's eyes lit up, and he chuckled as he picked up the beef noodles on the table, walked over, and opened the door.
In the room, a tall, silver-white steel puppet stood quietly in the corner.
Compared to before, this puppet was missing a hand.
Qingshui had just removed the platinum hand, preparing to begin the process of 'spiritualizing' it, when Ma Xianhong walked in with the noodles, eating as he came.
"You succeeded? Are you planning to turn this big guy into a magical artifact too? Even with Divine Machine Refinement, it doesn't look like an easy job."
Without one mistake, one head, one hair, one inside, one face, one look!
Qingshui put down the platinum hand, picked up the beef noodles, and started slurping them down.
"But the time it takes is still much faster than other artificers crafting a high-level magical artifact. By the way, do you have any Lao Gan Ma? This noodle's flavor is a bit lacking."
"Seems like we're out. But it seems like no one here is particularly good at cooking. I wonder if we can get someone who used to be a chef in the future."
"Why not create a magical artifact that can cook?"
"That would require me, the one who makes magical artifacts, to know how to cook."
"Hey, it's okay. When I create strong artificial intelligence, I'll build a chef robot that guarantees every dish will be up to the average standard of a five-star chef."
"I know you're amazing, but you can brag less. It won't cost you anything. Also, I think the time you'd spend on such a big thing would be enough to create several magical artifacts. Whether it's defense, attack, or other support, they can all make up for it. Why go the long way around?"
"Don't underestimate me, Lao Ma. My methods are really more powerful than you think."
Qingshui finished the remaining noodles in two big gulps and wiped his mouth with his sleeve.
He understood Ma Xianhong's meaning.
The difference between Divine Machine Refinement and other artificers lies in the speed of 'spiritualizing' and the speed of manufacturing magical artifacts.
Other artificers take half a year to a year and a half to forge a magical artifact, or even ten years and a half. But with Divine Machine Refinement, low-end magical artifacts can be directly mass-produced, and high-end magical artifacts don't take much time either.
But this doesn't mean that artificers with Divine Machine Refinement can surpass other artificers in a single work. He's just faster, how well he creates them still depends on the artificer's own skill level.
Instead of spending a lot of time making a big thing, it's better to make several powerful magical artifacts, which can improve combat power in the shortest time, and the effect may be better than the former.
However, this is based on the assumption that Qingshui is just a simple artificer with special abilities.
The artificer's methods can be a very important tool for Qingshui, but not everything.
Ultimately, he is still a ninja, a puppeteer, an engineer who masters various black technologies, and even a swordsman.
Without using the Platinum Armor, even if this incarnation's Qi and Chakra levels are only at the level of an ordinary special ability user, with swordsmanship and excellent perception, he can be considered a master among the younger generation in the outside world of special ability users.
At least, in his perception, the only people in the entire Biyou Village who can pose a threat to him, besides Ma Xianhong in front of him, may only be Zhao Guizhen, who comes from the Maoshan School, has received the orthodox inheritance of a major sect, and has practiced strange and evil techniques.
And with an A+ level puppet, Qingshui couldn't say for sure.
He hadn't seen the combat power of the Ten Elders, so it was difficult to judge, but he believed in the combat power of his puppet.
Not to mention the BUG-level existence of Old Master Zhang Zhiwei, who slaps everyone he fights, facing the other Ten Elders, Qingshui believes that at least before his own Chakra is exhausted, he will always have the power to protect himself, if not contend.
And Qingshui's own mental strength level is very high, and his mental realm has also been elevated to a not low level in the process of studying magic and the Mind Stone. The Mo Sect's breathing technique has no bottlenecks before reaching the Heavenly Will Realm.
So his cultivation speed is very fast, a few months is equivalent to several years for other special ability users, and it's even getting faster and faster.
In the world of special ability users, this is the sign of great success in the Mo Sect's Kung Fu!
Some of the old seniors of the Mo Sect are now at this realm, even the contemporary Mo Family Ju Zi is only at the peak of the Heavenly Will Realm.
And if he can forge the Platinum into a magical artifact and create the Ark Reactor and install it, then even if his combat power is not comparable to his main body and other incarnations, Qingshui feels that he can at least have combat power close to the Shadow level in the Ninja world.
Apart from the unfathomable Old Master, this strength should be enough to beat the Ten Elders and kick the Quanzhen Sect, rampant and unimpeded.
And if the main body also completes the spiritualization of the puppet, then…
Qingshui looked forward to it.
Although Biyou Village is a relatively primitive and not so modernized village, mobile phones, computers, and other wireless communication devices can still receive signals here, so it's not too boring, and Qingshui doesn't lose contact with the outside world.
Although he is currently only a sixth-level associate professor, his achievements in academia are there. His achievements in mathematics and artificial intelligence are among the best in the country. If he mysteriously disappears for ten days or half a month, it will still cause no small trouble.
On the second day in Biyou Village, Ma Xianhong dragged Qingshui to see his Refinement Furnace, which he used to transform ordinary people into special ability users.
The current Refinement Furnace is not the same as the final version that Zhuge Qing participated in the transformation of later.
There are a total of four generations of Refinement Furnaces. Taking the final version after Zhuge Qing participated in the transformation as the fourth generation, the current one can only be regarded as the second generation at best, and the efficiency of transforming special ability users will be much lower.
Qingshui is not a warlock like Zhuge Qing.
For Qimen Dunjia, he has mastered nine of the ten orifices—he doesn't understand one orifice.
But his engineering technical level is very high, enough to provide guidance to Ma Xianhong in some aspects, such as the layout of energy lines.
And his attainments in medical ninjutsu and biotechnology also make him very knowledgeable about human anatomy—the Refinement Furnace itself is a transformation of the human body.
This is enough to bring some changes to the Refinement Furnace.
However, Ma Xianhong did not point out the strange flesh hidden in the core part of the Refinement Furnace, and Qingshui tacitly did not mention it.
Now that he has appeared in Biyou Village, he must have been exposed to Qu Tong's eyes.
This is not a big deal, after all, there are more than a hundred people in Biyou Village.
But the key is that he has mastered Divine Machine Refinement.
