Jinxia City, inside Fengyang Villa.
In the past few days, Mo Yun went to the Privy Council Palace whenever he had free time to discuss new design plans with Xia Fan. At night, he stayed up late reading almost all night long.
Ning Wanjun was really worried about the other party's condition, and the people in the Privy Council Office were too arrogant, so she simply asked Xia Fan to live in the villa temporarily to satisfy Mo Yun's thirst for knowledge.
Xia Fan also readily agreed. Firstly, there was indeed a lack of testing ground in the mansion, and secondly, he was also very interested in the stuff being researched by the Ministry of Industry.
Over the past few days, he had played with the "power source" brought by Mo Yun.
In the technical terminology of the Ministry of Industry, these things are collectively called celestial devices.
This reminded Xia Fan of the seismometer from another world.
However, these things have nothing to do with earthquakes. Its essence is a magical creation that converts Qi into kinetic energy.
After obtaining Mo Yun's consent, he also disassembled a celestial device with his own hands, which gave him a comprehensive understanding of its structure and principles.
In fact, this thing is terrifyingly simple - for example, the celestial device that drives the pocket mechanism beast is only the size of a Rubik's Cube, and its shape is similar to a Rubik's Cube, in the shape of a standard cube.
Its body is cut from wood and divided into upper and lower blocks. The interior is hollowed out and stuffed with a bronze ball with a handle. The outermost layer is a bronze shell and buckles, which can not only fix the two pieces of wood together, but also reduce the wear and tear on its fragile parts.
There is no mystery about this thing alone, and it seems completely unrelated to the term power source. However, after a circle of sigils are carved on the surface of the wooden block, it has an incredible characteristic - sensing energy rotation.
This technique belongs to Kun and is called Xingxuan.
Xia Fan asked Li, and Li said he had never heard of similar techniques.
He even took the time to carve his own replica of a wooden Rubik's Cube, but as it turned out, his creation didn't move at all.
In the end, Xia Fan had no choice but to ask Mo Yun himself for advice.
After the latter was silent for a while, he answered his question in detail.
"This technique was created by me, but it's not all my credit."
Xia Fan was extremely surprised by the other party's words.
This was the first time he saw the birth of a new technique.
"How to say?"
"It is derived from the heaven-fixing technique in Kunshu, and I improved it. The inspiration comes from the rotating stars in the sky." Mo Yun explained with pride hidden in his tone, "Half of the credit for its success comes from To those maesters who observe the stars—our world is spinning all the time.”
Xia Fan has seen the Heaven-fixing Technique in the Basic Kun Technique book. It is just a path-finding technique that always points to a specific star.
"Could it be that the circle sigil engraved on it refers to the orbit of the stars?"
"You know this too?" Mo Yun stared at him for a long time, and finally laughed to himself, "So you really know a little bit about everything."
"Is it that simple?" Xia Fan still couldn't believe it.
"Otherwise?" Mo Yun asked, "Do you think I will take other people's achievements as my own?"
"You misunderstood, I didn't mean that. I just didn't expect that the emergence of new techniques was not that complicated..."
"Of course, if you don't care about the degree of difference, new techniques are born almost every day. After all, the differences between people determine the degree of differentiation of alchemy." Mo Yun paused, "It's just that few people submit it to the Privy Council. "
I see.
Xia Fan realized his misunderstanding.
He originally thought that a new spell must appear from scratch, but the fact is that most of them are based on various basic spells. Putting a personal stamp on alchemy is actually an "invention."
In other words, the changes in the streamer technique he felt during the electromagnetic experiment had already invented a brand new shock technique.
At least according to Mo Yun's standards.
It's just that he hasn't given it a name yet.
"Then why are the wooden blocks I carved useless?"
Mo Yun glanced at Xia Fan with disgust. She found that this person did have a wide range of knowledge, but he was not very proficient in his own profession. "I heard His Highness said that your character is shock, right? You are good at shock techniques." People, if you want to carve a magical weapon belonging to Kun for the first time, do you think too highly of yourself?"
"So can this thing be successful and still choose people?"
"Of course, the so-called profession has specialization." The other party said matter-of-factly.
"Then your character—"
"Belongs to Kun."
Well, since this technique was invented by the other party, he should have expected this answer.
Based on this month's research, Xia Fan is more and more inclined to think that magic is a projection of consciousness, and Mo Yun's answer seems to confirm this - even if they are two almost identical talisman wood blocks, made by different people, the effect will not be the same. Or it could be completely different. This means that the standardization of alchemy has failed, or in other words, if the differences in consciousness cannot be taken into account, standardization is nothing but a castle in the air.
But considering the production level of this era, differences are not something that cannot be accepted. Moreover, from another perspective, this speculation means that individual diversity will have unlimited possibilities.
"Speaking of which, who invented the basic alchemy recorded by the Privy Council?" Xia Fan thought of another question.
"This..." Mo Yun was stuck for a moment, "Probably just like words, they are created, summarized and evolved little by little by people over thousands of years. Okay, don't think about what is there and what is not, come and try me This part is newly made.”
She finally finished the carpentry work at hand.
It was a leg brace fixed to the ground.
Xia Fan had to admit that Mo Yun was amazingly capable at her job. In just a few days, she turned the new plan into a tangible object.
Although it is entirely made of wood, it still looks like that at first glance - the height of the bracket is about 1.5 meters, with two joints, and the sky-moving instrument is directly connected to the rotating shaft. The joints are connected by wooden frames, and the space enclosed is enough to put a human leg. The most eye-catching part is its base - a herringbone-shaped forked claw nearly half a meter long, which is used to ensure stability when landing.
"Shall I come first?"
"Of course, you came up with the idea after all."
Xia Fan was naturally happy to oblige. Since there was only one leg support and it was 30 centimeters above the ground, he had to put his other foot on a chair to maintain his balance.
Mo Yun tied the belt for him, "There are two heavenly motion devices on your legs and hips. Try injecting Qi into them - you should be able to control the direction of its rotation."
In fact, not only the direction, but also the force and rotation speed can be controlled through changes in Qi. This has been verified by him on the machine beast.
Xia Fan held his breath and introduced Qi into the two celestial instruments at the same time.
The bracket suddenly made a tearing sound.
"Stop, stop, stop, the steering is wrong!" Mo Yun shouted quickly, "One should be forward and the other backward!"
Xia Fan quickly stopped and readjusted his breathing.
This process was not easy to get used to, and it took him many attempts before the bracket made the right move the first time.
In an instant, he felt his feet being pushed up directly by a force, as if the ground had suddenly risen. The huge wooden support did not bring any sense of weight, but standing on it, he seemed as light as a swallow.
