Chapter 248 The Ring of Branding
It is not difficult to make spiritual materials, and it is not difficult to draw and carve spell models.
Spiritual apprentices who have been working for several years can skillfully make spiritual materials and draw and engrave spell models. It is only because of their weak perception of spiritual materials that they cannot make spiritual cards.
"Brand...Brand..."
Duke was sitting on the sofa chair, turning a 1-ring slide card with his fingertips, but he was communicating with Xiaoyi quickly in his mind.
"There is a technical difficulty in this, how to integrate the spell model with the spiritual material?"
"Manually making cards, a slight mistake by the card maker during the psionic drawing and engraving will lead to the destruction of the entire spell model, and even the card materials will be destroyed."
"A complete spell model is stuffed into the card material, how to ensure that it can be completely preserved?"
"Master, perhaps the following experiments can be carried out to maintain the integrity of the spell model through the steady-state spiritual energy field of the steady-state ring positioner, and adjust the microscopic structure of the spell model through the affinity between the subtle energy lines and spiritual materials."
"You mean, let the psionics adjust themselves?"
"According to Xiaoyi's judgment, this plan has a certain probability of success, but first of all, more experimental data is needed."
"You sort out the experiment process, and I will start to arrange it as soon as possible."
"Good master, I have sorted out the new experimental process for you."
"So, let's do it!"
The exchange of thoughts has been fully communicated in an instant. Duke flicked it, and the 1-ring slide card was inserted into the card storage shelf on the table.
The first is theoretical verification.
This requires Duke to disassemble several steady-state ring instruments, and then assemble a large-scale steady-state ring position meter suitable for experiments.
Ao Shou 1.0 perfectly executed his idea. Half a day later, a large steady-state ring positioner that could accommodate a person stood in his independent laboratory. At the same time, there is also an instrument that can continuously outline the spell model of the slide card.
In this way, Duke does not need to operate manually, and there is also a steady stream of slide card spell models, which are always available for his experiments.
"Turn on the force field." Duke's mind controls the Olympic hand.
After the force field is turned on, the spiritual energy is constantly stirring in the entire large-scale steady-state ring position instrument, and the spell model is continuously outlined in the instrument on the side.
Duke used spiritual energy as a guide to continuously compress these spell models into the card material.
Pata.
The first card will be burned directly.
"There are too many mistakes in the spiritual distribution of the spell model and the card material, and it is impossible to maintain the operation of the spell model." Duke summed up the failure experience, "But Xiaoyi, did you see the affinity between the spiritual energy and the card material during the compression process?"
"I see, master, but the affinity cannot resist the tightness of the spell model itself."
"What do you think should be changed?"
"More experimental data support is needed."
"Okay." Duke kept experimenting, and one card after another was damaged. It seemed that the whole experiment always failed. Ordinary arcanists might give up.
But Duke is different.
Failure is not only not frustrating to him, but also a sense of joy.
The reason is very simple. Every time Xiaoyi can extract certain experimental data from failed experiments and expand the database.
It is equivalent to saying that every failure of his is a part of the progress bar of success.
"Failure is **** success, you're right!" Duke couldn't remember how many failed operations he had repeated in half a month.
If Xiaoyi hadn’t reminded him, and the database was constantly expanding, he would have given up a long time ago.
But Xiaoyi's reminder let him know that every time he fails, he is taking a small step towards success until now.
"Master, the complete spell model, the energy line has been solidified. We need to cut a small opening in the spell model to ensure the stability of the basic structure and at the same time keep the energy line always in an excited state, thereby increasing the affinity with the card material."
"No problem, do it!" Duke started the experiment again.
This time, the spell model drawn from the instrument was not a complete ring, but a gap.
The strong force field of the steady-state ring position instrument can stably preserve this incomplete ring.
Duke only needs a simple operation to compress the incomplete ring into the card material, and wait for the incomplete ring to fuse with the card material by itself. When the fusion reaches the last step, inject a little more spiritual energy to completely close the ring.
But unexpectedly, it still failed in the end.
"The gap is not chosen correctly, Xiaoyi, to calculate the position of the spell model, the minimum restriction on the spiritual distribution of card materials."
"Okay, it has been calculated for you, master. Please reserve a gap from the 17th protrusion, node 38. This gap belongs to the vertical series method, and there is no specific requirement for the spirituality of the card material. It will not cause conflicts when encapsulating the spell model."
"Understood." Duke quickly adjusted the instrument, and disconnected the spell model set in the instrument at the seventeenth protrusion and node 38.
Repeat the previous operation.
The incomplete spell model was compressed into the card material, and then he injected a little spiritual energy into the gap.
next moment.
The entire spell model shone with a little luster, completely forming a stable ring, and was hidden in the card material.
"It's done! Haha!" Duke was overjoyed, "We two are geniuses!"
Ling card is the best product of spiritual arcana sinking into the society. It can be said that all walks of life cannot do without Ling card, and Ling card is the foundation of social development.
This is also an industry with an infinite scale, and the field that countless arcanists have studied.
"Xiao Yi, tell me, once my spirit card imprinting technology is published, will a monopoly company like United Card Store go bankrupt?"
"Based on the available information, the shareholders behind the joint card store include Loren Sangovi, Siskoli, Jefferson Rock Sparrow..." Xiaoyi listed the names of a group of arcanists.
Duke doesn't need to know it all.
You only need to know the first Loren Sangowi to know that there is basically no possibility of closing down the joint card store.
This is the only 7-ring morning star arcane teacher in the wind breath field.
Or the only Morning Star Arcane Instructor living in Runwu City. There are several arcane mentors who have come out of the wind breath field, and they have all settled in the holy city of arcane. Even Loren Sangovi spends half of his time in the Holy City of Offa every year.
"Well, it is basically impossible to close the Union Card Store, but I will invest in technology, so it should be possible to get 25% of the Union Card Store's shares?" Duke thought again.
Join if you can't beat it.
Facing the impact of Lingka imprinting technology, the joint card shop's manual workshop-style production method must not be able to beat, and can only choose to accept new technologies; similarly, Duke can't beat Loren Sangovi and other powerful arcanists, and it is best to invest in technology.
The revenue of the joint card store is definitely more profitable than that of companies such as Giant of Light and DreamWorks, and it is not even much worse than the revenue of Hebbit Spirit Mining Company.
Hebbidi can only monopolize the spirit mine in Heijiaohe land, but the United Card Shop can serve the entire Seven Towers Federation—the transportation cost of spirit cards is very low, and it can break through geographical restrictions.
"According to calculations, you, the owner, have a 75% probability of becoming a shareholder of the United Card Store with your technology. But how many shares you can get, there are too few conditions and factors, and Xiaoyi can't calculate it."
"It doesn't matter." Duke smiled.
The technology is in his hands, and the patents are in his hands. Even if he does not take a stake in the United Card Store, the patent fees that should be paid are indispensable.
The light rain is falling, and it is the cold season of the year again.
Duke did not rush to announce his new technology, but improved the branding technology of the spirit card while transforming the professional card making equipment.
Dozens of related papers have been written, and hundreds of patent applications have been filed.
In fact, there are too many contents involved in the branding technology of spirit cards. There are as many kinds of spirit cards as there are related patents that can be applied for.
"Duke, what have you been up to lately? You don't always have time." Kilia Nutao said with some minor complaints.
Duke, who entered the working state, even had fewer dates.
"I'm changing the world, Kylia. I've been too busy recently. I'll spend more time with you when I'm done." Duke coaxed Kylia, and with a French wet kiss, eliminated Kylia's complaints during this period.
The specific work content was not disclosed to Kiria.
In the afternoon, another staff member from the United Tower came: "Lord Duke, you have received a notice from the United Tower. Please go to the Union Tower before ten o'clock tomorrow morning to participate in the enlarged meeting to discuss the formulating plan for the phantom industry rules."
"Well, is it finally time to discuss phantom accounts?" Duke raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I see."
Regarding the distribution of box office accounts, unification of theaters, content review, phantom grading, etc., the rules of the film industry on Earth, Duke has long revised and perfected them. Half a year ago, he wrote a letter and sent it to the Tower of Erudition.
The Knowledgeable Supreme Tower also wrote back to express receipt.
But there has been no follow-up, until today there was a discussion on the expanded meeting of the Union Tower.
The next day Duke went to the Union Tower on time to attend the enlarged meeting. In the entire Heijiaohe land, there are five Great Arcane Masters and Duke, a erudite sage, a total of six members of the enlarged meeting. But in this meeting, only Duke and Irvine participated.
This is a discussion of a new industry, and the level of the enlarged meeting is not high, so only relevant people are invited to the meeting.
No great arcane mage projected over.
Only use the Austrian method projection technology to transmit each document related to the plan, and then Duke and Irwin formulate their own opinions and send them back.
The content of the plan is lackluster. Basically, in Duke’s original proposal, some changes have been made to suit local conditions, making the plan more in line with the system and atmosphere of the Seven Towers Federation.
than a meeting.
Duke is more interested in the arcane projection technology itself: "A great arcane mage can use the projection ring method to descend to a place thousands of miles away with the help of the arcane projection technology. Documents and the like can also use the arcane projection technology to transmit the information itself."
In Duke's view, this is a kind of communication technology.
It's just that this kind of communication technology is too high-end, the content parameters are complicated, and the information transmission effect is very weak, and it even requires a great arcane master to operate.
"So, the teacher gave me a good research direction." Duke drew up his own ideas on the document, waiting for the document to disappear automatically.
I thought silently in my heart: "The direction of ring copying materials is definitely the basis of future communication. The Austrian method projection can transmit information and even characters thousands of miles away. It can be said that the basic framework of communication has given hints."
He failed to find electromagnetic waves and spiritual magnetic waves before, but the technology of arcane projection made him firmly believe that communication technology can definitely be realized.
"Duke, Duke!" Seeing him distracted, Erwin yelled twice.
Duke came back to his senses: "What?"
"what are you thinking about?"
"No."
"People who haven't seen you much recently, what are you researching in the mage's tower?" Erwin paid more attention to Duke than others, "It's really like what the newspaper said, you are researching ring copying materials, and you want ordinary arcanists to master the ring of projection?"
"Almost, but my mage tower has just been built, and I urgently need talents. Recently, I am mainly busy transferring the teacher's people to Cuihai City."
This kind of transfer is a transfer of family members.
"I really envy you. When I met Suktara, a teacher, I entrusted everything to you, saving you a lot of difficulties in getting started." Erwin sighed.
An arcane mage, who wants to prepare his own mage tower, needs to go through a lot of difficulties.
Especially talents need to be accumulated bit by bit, which takes a long time. Some 3rd-ring arcane mages, although they have also built mage towers, are just empty shelves, such as Clarinda.
Duke is different.
With the foundation provided by Suktara, his mage tower can easily recruit enough manpower to keep it running.
"I am very grateful to the teacher."
"It's all spiritual guidance." Duke smiled slightly.
The enlarged meeting lasted from ten o'clock to twelve o'clock, and most of the rules of the phantom industry have been decided.
Basically, it is not much different from the rules of the film industry on Earth.
"Ah!" Erwin stretched his waist, and then quickly thumped his shoulder, "Old man, my back hurts after two hours of meetings."
"I think your body is better than that of a young guy." Duke said, and it is indeed true. The appearance of an arcanist may age, but his physical fitness is blessed by spiritual power, and he will always be in the best condition, away from old people and patients.
"Speaking of which, I am not much younger than your teacher, and if I die, I will have forty or fifty years to live."
A 4-ring earth arcane mage can theoretically live to be 210 years old, which is almost the sum of the three life spans of ordinary people.
Duke prepares to leave.
Erwin asked him to go to the internal cafeteria of the Union Tower to eat together: "Let's talk about the next development of the Phantom Industry Base and the Film and Television Base. The Phantom Industry Act will be introduced soon. We must seize this opportunity."
"good."
In fact, there is nothing to talk about. Duke basically talked about how the film industry on earth should develop.
The rest is to adapt measures to local conditions and let the phantom industry vigorously develop in Heijiaohe.
"The film and television bases can basically be located in Shenjiao City and Cuihai City. Although there is a lack of seaside scenery here, there are mountains and water suitable for filming. Human beings' history of adventures in the wild jungle for more than 4,000 years can be concentrated in the film and television base."
"Cultivate well-known film and television companies, buy out the film and television copyrights of well-known works, cultivate more film and television stars, and shoot various types of phantom films."
"Develop film and television technology, then set up phantom festivals, set up phantom awards... Your Excellency Erwin, if you do these things well, basically Shenjiao City will have a place in the entertainment capital." Duke suggested that Shenjiao City's geographical location is too remote, so it would be great to have a place.
In fact, the most suitable place to develop the film and television industry is the Holy City of Offa and the eighteen lakeside cities around it.
and the central city of each major field.
"Tsk tsk, if the spring in Cuihai City was not a spring of spirituality, but a river of spirituality, it would be great. Maybe the capital of the Seven Towers Federation will have to move here in the future." Erwin couldn't help but start lusting, "We are always going west to explore the depths of the wild jungle!"
Humans set foot on the wild continent.
The first stop is the area where the Storm Empire is located, which is why the Storm Empire is called the ancestral land of mankind. The knights of the Storm Empire marched forward triumphantly, opening up the original habitat for humans.
Later, the Arcane Master left to the north and established the Seven Towers Federation today.
The Stormwind Empire split into the Holy Spirit Federation.
Basically, these three regimes are the three largest and most stable countries in human society, and the other fifteen regimes are too weak.
Even some regimes have only one city.
For example, Returning Island City, Mercenary City, Endless City, and Xinhai City, these four regimes are all built on a single city.
"The west of the Holy Spirit Federation is the endless sea area. I'm afraid this part has come to an end." Duke recalled the map, "The Sea Soul Empire that opened up to the southwest, and the Rainstorm Empire that opened up to the south have encountered obstacles from the sea, and our Seven Towers Federation is still expanding."
"Yes, the Ice and Snow Kingdom in the north is not very suitable for living. The only way out is to the west of the Seven Towers Federation. Our Heijiaohe Land is a pioneering land for foreign development." Erwin continued, "There is only one spiritual river."
"Don't explore further to the west, you will also be blocked by the sea."
"Probably not. The Holy City of Arcana organizes the battleship team of the Arcane tutors every year to explore the surrounding forests. So far, they have not explored the western border."
"I know that."
"And even to the west of the Holy Spirit Federation, there are a huge number of islands in the endless sea. The endless city and the new sea city are built on these islands. There may not be a new continent in the west, but we haven't explored that far yet."
Talking from the phantom to the world, and from the world to spiritual mystery, the lunch also ended.
Erwin went to work in the Learning Tower.
Duke also returned to the Suktara Mage Tower to continue the unfinished work and improve the spirit card branding technology: "This technology involves the field of card making and natural history. What can it bring me? The title of card making sage, or the light of the four-linked learning tower?"
"No, not only that!"
Duke thought of other fields.
Any field that involves the fusion of rings and spiritual materials, such as spirit cards, such as puppet cores, such as contract paper, such as array arrays. In other words, the branding technology of the spell model is the most basic application technology.
"Hiss! In this way, it is not general enough to name it the spirit card branding technology. It should be called... the ring branding technology, or the ring of branding!"
Duke's eyes sparkled.
Arcanists like to name high-level technologies the Ring of XX, such as the Ring of Projection, such as the Ring of Distortion.
Now this technology invented by Duke can bring great convenience to research and production in almost many fields. It is not an exaggeration to call it a branded ring.
"The technology is called the Ring of Branding, so what about this device that can copy the Spirit Card...it's called the Branding Device for Spirit Cards. As for the equipment in other fields, I don't have much experience in it for the time being. I will only write a thesis and not manufacture specific equipment."
The device that replicates the puppet core can be called the puppet core branding instrument; the device that replicates the contract can be called the contract branding device; the device that replicates the array disk can be called the array disk branding device.
"The Ring of Branding, the Branding Instrument..."
Duke put his improved spirit card imprinter on the test bench, and then inserted a 1-ring civil card-slide card.
Start the instrument.
There was a creaking sound, and the spirit card imprinter had extracted the ring of the slide card, and engraved the same ring, and loaded it into a blank card material.
With the integration of the ring and the card material, the instrument added the last touch of spiritual energy to activate the ring.
soon.
A new slide card was just released. Duke picked it up and tried to activate the new card. He found that the effect was not bad. The passage of the whole ring was very smooth. Although it was not as good as the slide card made by Duke himself, it was not too bad.
"This spirit card branding instrument can only copy civil cards. If you want to copy arcane cards, you have to insert a special spiritual box."
The energy lines of the civil card are all outlined by spiritual energy.
The energy line of the arcane card not only has spiritual energy, but also a large amount of spiritual power with elemental attributes, which are jointly outlined.
So, if you want to copy an arcane card, you have to insert the corresponding spiritual box.
Duke has prepared a psionic box for illusion cards. After inserting it, insert the illusion card of the 1st ring into it to copy.
After the creaking, the instrument started to copy the arcane card again, which took a little longer than copying the slide card, and then a 1-ring illusion card was freshly released.
"Well, compared to the copying effect of civilian cards, the copying effect of arcane cards is a bit worse, but it is barely usable." Once Duke gets started, he loads Xiaoyi's calculations, and can instantly judge whether a spirit card is good or bad.
"Continue to improve!"
Just like that, another half a month passed, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye.
Snowflakes fall from the glass window of the laboratory.
Duke was holding the tea that the assistant had just made.
While sipping tea, he controlled the hand of the arcane weapon with his mind, making it as quickly as afterimages, the newly improved branding device and the magic box of the illusion card.
Suddenly.
The Hand of the Arcane Tool stopped, Duke also put down the tea in his hand, and rang the rope bell on the table.
"Sir, here I come." Mu Lali walked in with her water snake waist twisted, her melon-seeded face became more and more charming, and her every gesture exuded a strong smell.
Duke was able to turn a blind eye: "I made a list, you go and send these spiritual materials."
He quickly used a typewriter, printed out a list, and handed it to Mu Lali.
Mulali took the list and left the laboratory.
Duke closed his eyes and looked inside the Linghai. Xiaoyi's congratulations were still echoing: "Congratulations to the master, you have successfully completed the sublimation of the Olympic Hand 2.0, and the first-ring Olympic hand has officially been promoted to the second-ring Olympic hand. The Olympic hand has more powerful functions and can bring greater help to the master."
Wait for Mu Lali to bring people over and send a lot of spiritual materials over.
Duke immediately carried out alchemy, turning this pile of spiritual materials into fluorescent light, and finally gathered them in the magic model of the Arcane Artifact that had been promoted from the first orbit to the second orbit in the spiritual sea.
Accompanied by the slight flash of the spell model, the Austrian Hand 2.0 is officially completed.
"Come out!"
With a thought of Duke, a lifelike crystal hand appeared in front of him, which has not changed much from the Austrian Hand 1.0 in appearance. However, the inner ability of the Olympic Hand 2.0 has been greatly strengthened, which is no longer the same.
Without any sound, with Duke's mind control, the Austrian Hand 2.0 began to show its upgrade effect.
I saw this crystal hand suddenly expand outwards, and in an instant it turned into a transparent cover that could perfectly wrap Duke inside.
Duke raised his hand, and Sand Eagle 2.0 materialized.
Align the cover and pull the trigger.
Poof!
boom!
The moment the bullet touches the cover, it creates an outward depression on the cover, but as the depression gets bigger and bigger, the crystal cover has a faint multicolored luster rushing towards the depression, pulling the bullet like jelly candy.
The unparalleled speed and power of the bullet will be eliminated in a short period of time.
Then.
The bullet dissipated, and the depression became smooth again.
"Using softness to overcome rigidity, even Shaying's bullets can be blocked. The Austrian Hand 2.0 can already be regarded as a defensive weapon." Duke praised.
However, I also discovered the defect of Sand Eagle. The attack power is too strong. When encountering this kind of flexible defense, the power of bullets will be greatly weakened.
"Try armor-piercing bullets!" Intentionally switched Sand Eagle's bullets.
After pulling the trigger, an armor-piercing projectile spiraled out, instantly pierced through the crystal cover, and flew out of the window.
"Fortunately, once the spiral armor-piercing projectile is installed, it can still deal with the flexible defense."
Sand Eagle dissipated.
The Olympian Hand also turned into a crystal hand again, and the damage caused by the armor-piercing projectile has been repaired by spiritual energy.
Duke flashed another thought.
The Austrian hand suddenly stuck to his right hand, completely enveloping the right hand like a liquid, becoming a crystal version of the unicorn arm.
And the material of the unicorn arm can flow, wandering freely on Duke's body, flowing to the legs for a while, turning into unicorn legs, wrapping the head for a while, turning into a unicorn helmet, and forming a small vest on the torso to protect the chest and back.
“Kaleidoscopic, sort of like Venom in a superhero…”
He walked to his fighting qi training room, faced the dummy on the martial arts stage, and stretched out his hand suddenly. The unicorn arm transformed by the Austrian hand seemed to turn into a steel needle in an instant, and poked on the dummy, directly poking a big hole out of the dummy made of special spirit gold material.
"This power is already equivalent to a 2-ring arcane spell, and it is much stronger than my current grudge attack."
Shaking his head.
Duke didn't really care about it. No matter how strong the Austrian is, its attack power can't match that of the Sand Eagle. It is always a supporting weapon.
The next moment, driven by his thoughts, the Austrian hand directly turned into a spirit card branding device.
Duke inserted a blank spirit card and a storage spirit card into it, then inserted a slide card, activated the button, and quietly, a brand new slide card was copied out.
Pinching the new slide card.
Looking at the incomparably exquisite Crystal Spirit Card Branding Instrument, Duke finally showed a satisfied smile: "This is the correct way to open the Olympic hand!"
Come late, don’t ask for tickets~
