Chapter 144 The Alchemical Matrix that Never Appeared
"One year"?
Zhang Qi asked in surprise.
"Yes, I don't know exactly what it feels like when you transform, but in the history of China's mystical world, the transformation of dragonborn is usually accompanied by severe pain. According to the cases recorded in history books, the success rate is also Just around 50%."
Zou Shu continued very seriously:
"However, in ancient times, productivity was relatively low, and basic medical conditions could not keep up. If we use the current medical system and alchemical stabilizing devices for assistance, I am confident that the success rate can be increased to 80%."
"But it's still too risky."
Zhang Qi also frowned when he heard this.
Zhang Qi remembered that he just fainted, but it was not as scary as Zou Shu said.
However, it is better to misbelieve than not to believe, Zhang Qi still feels that he should be cautious.
"I heard that there seems to be an alchemy laboratory converted from an air raid shelter in the mountain not far away"?
Zhang Qi thought for a while and asked Zou Shu.
"Ah, it is true. Although this laboratory is not as good as the one in Kunlun that has been passed down for more than 1500 years, it can definitely be called one of the top ten alchemy laboratories in the world. It stores a large number of alchemy equipment and raw materials... What do you mean? Why do you ask this?"
Zou Shu thought for a moment and then answered.
"Don't you need Western alchemy information? I still know some of this. Now I plan to make a few standard alchemy matrices for you. After all, there is a big difference between Eastern and Western alchemy, and Western alchemy is more Focusing on material things, China’s native alchemy is more focused on spirituality.”
Zhang Qi replied.
"Okay, then I'll take you there now, and I just happen to have the key."
After hearing this, Mr. Zou nodded, then took Zhang Qi's hand and led him out of the building.
The two passed countless buildings, woods and farmland along the way, and finally reached the foot of the mountain.
"This place used to be a civil defense project, but it was temporarily abandoned due to the times. The school renovated the place and used its solid structure to create this alchemy laboratory for students to practice."
Alchemy is a dangerous subject, and explosions are common in classes. Therefore, the structure of the alchemy laboratory is usually quite strong, and apprentices must wear thick protective coats to ensure that they are not experimenting. The injuries in the accident were too serious.
This used to be a nuclear-proof bunker, and its sturdiness far exceeded the standards of an alchemy laboratory. Therefore, adhering to the principle that leaving it unused would be a waste, the Beiping Xuanzhu School converted it into an alchemy laboratory.
The entrance to the laboratory is on the mountainside, but that is the main entrance. This underground project contains countless densely curved and folded passages, as well as countless exits.
The school has not yet fully utilized it, with only 70% of its proven area being covered, and students often get lost.
Zhang Qi and Zou Shu walked up the concrete steps for about 5 minutes, and finally came to a thick door.
"Pendant type explosion-proof wave valve"?
The sharp-eyed Zhang Qi could tell the type of this door at a glance.
Pure steel, there should be lead plates inside as a means of radiation protection and electromagnetic shielding.
"I don't know much about this, but this thing should be made of pure steel, and it is solid. There is no way to open it without the help of machinery."
Zou Shu said, then walked to the door, reached out and took off the ring on his left middle finger.
"open"!
Zou Shu inserted the gem inlaid on the ring into a small hole in the door. With a sound of mechanical rotation, the ring was ejected, and then the door slowly opened to both sides.
"Come in quickly, this door will be closed in a while."
Zou Shu shouted towards Zhang Qi.
Zhang Qi hurriedly ran in, and the door slowly closed behind him.
"Swipe pull"!
Following the sound of electricity, a soft white light lit up above the two of them, illuminating the darkness in the passage.
The two of them are now in a wide hall. Although it has been carefully decorated, it can still be seen that this was a parking lot before, and it looks like it should be the kind that can park large vehicles.
"Follow me, but don't get lost."
Zou Shu walked at the front and gave a slightly uneasy warning.
"Don't worry, I won't get lost yet."
Zhang Qi said, then followed closely behind the old man.
The two of them walked in the winding passage. The passage was very spacious and the fluorescent tubes above were quite bright.
"Here we are, right here."
At the end of the corridor was another security door. The old man walked over and turned the axle with both hands. The door opened to both sides with a creaking sound.
"This used to be a cultural activity room, but now it has been transformed into our No. [-] laboratory."
Zhang Qi followed the old man in and looked at everything inside curiously.
To some extent, the alchemy laboratory is very similar to the chemical experiment, except that there are many strange glasswares and countless humming alchemical machines.
"What materials do you need? I'll go to the warehouse at the back to prepare it for you. Outsiders are not allowed in there."
Zou Shu quickly pulled a white coat from the wall and put it on himself, and then asked Zhang Qi.
"Iron, silver, and a red crystal - the kind with high purity."
Zhang Qi thought for a moment and then said quickly.
"A good boy, he specializes in picking up expensive things."
Zou Shu muttered, then turned around, opened the door to the warehouse, and walked in.
After a while, Mr. Zou came out holding a huge tray, which contained the materials Zhang Qi just mentioned.
"I'll say it before, if this alchemy matrix doesn't succeed, you will have to pay for the materials out of your own pocket"...
The old man looked at the materials and deliberately showed a painful expression on his face.
"You are definitely not short of this amount of money, and I think that with your status, you should not care about me, a junior, asking for money."
Zhang Qi said with a smile, then walked over to take the materials, then took a carving knife from the shelf next to him, and walked to the cement carving platform nearby.
Each cement carving table is disposable. After use, the useful ones will be moved back to the warehouse, the unused ones will be smashed on the spot, and new ones will be poured into molds.
Zhang Qi squatted there, and after thinking for a moment, he raised the carving knife in his hand.
The knowledge of Western alchemy he knew was actually not particularly advanced.
What he really knows about advanced knowledge comes from the information from the Dragon Clan.
The carving knife under Zhang Qi's hand flew up and down, and pieces of cement chips flew into the air.
I have no choice but to depict something I am familiar with first.
I just don't know very well, will the alchemy of dragons be different from that of humans?
