Mechanical Alchemist

The void will always be associated with astronomy.

In the corridors on the fourth floor of the library, there are various luxurious decorations, such as the alchemy astronomical telescope with complex structure, the "Antikythera device" with pure gold gear structure, and the complex and artistic "Edmonds Planetarium" , There are also some who have practiced gold instruments who can't understand the effect.

Many of these are classic astronomical instruments that are still in use today. Even though they have been used for countless years, their shapes have not changed much.

Su Lun was walking in the corridor, and along the way, he could see the treasures placed in the glass window that he wanted to take away just by looking at them.

Except for those "antique scrolls" and "manuscripts" that are collected like antiques, most of the books are carefully engraved collector's editions. The gilded book covers are neatly placed on the bookshelf, which matches the surrounding magnificent carved wall decorations very well. The pavement has a heavy knowledge atmosphere, but it also has the unique luxury of the Royal Academy.

Probably because of the chessboard in Su Lun's hand, he entered every room on this floor unimpeded.

Because he was worried about triggering some bad events, he didn't keep any of the classics in his pocket for the time being.

Finally, he found the archives of the college and went in.

The archives room is larger than it looks from the outside, about three to four hundred square meters. It is obvious that the space folding technology has been used to expand the original space by two or three times.

As soon as I saw it, I saw dense kraft paper file bags piled up into more than a dozen bookshelves as high as a three-story building. In order to facilitate access to the archives on the upper floor, a movable mahogany staircase is specially equipped.

There are classification details on each bookshelf, and there are labels on the archives.

Here you can investigate the list of all personnel in the college, personnel transfers, and records of major events.

He wanted to find the "Herbert Hiberle" on the investigation file, and this was the possible place.

Su Lun looked at the dense files and smacked his lips: "There are so many files, but it's hard work."

And time is limited.

Under normal circumstances, he only has about five hours, and then "Void Invasion" will usher in.

It is absolutely impossible for him alone to finish reading the files here, even if he is multi-tasking.

Thinking of this, Su Lun, a double surgeon, pinched, "Space Alchemy Void Whale Swallow."

The blue-black hexagram array lit up under his feet, and he looked at the space black hole rapidly condensed in his hand, and muttered in his heart: "Sure enough, the space energy fluctuations in this academy are dozens of times stronger than those in the outside world, and the efficiency of casting spells is also faster. several times."

This is definitely a big plus for space professionals.

It is also one of the most important reasons why Su Lun feels that this cursed space is relatively less dangerous to himself.

Here, his spatial ability will be several times stronger than outside.

In a blink of an eye, the black hole in his hand turned into an elliptical hole about the height of a person, and a figure rushed out quickly.

His two disciples, Karma and Albuquerque, as well as Tani and Lolotta, who wanted to join in the fun and see the world, and there were all kinds of crew members in the Dawn Corps who were talented in "speed reading", totaling more than a hundred people.

As soon as these people came out, they almost filled the entire file room to the brim.

"teacher!"

"Mr. Sullen!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Su Lun had already communicated with them with his consciousness before. As soon as these people came out and greeted Su Lun, they didn't delay at all, and immediately devoted themselves to the task of looking through the files on the bookshelf.

Su Lun also untied the eight-armed spider lance himself, and flipped through the files at a glance.

His goal was very clear, and he targeted some old files.

He speculated that since "Herbert Hiberle" was able to issue a warning that there was a problem with the space channel, his identity was definitely not simple.

Moreover, the fact is that "Void Invasion" also really happened.

Then the question arises, why did he find out if others didn't find out? This means that either he has stronger abilities than others, or he has an unusual status and can access some secrets that others cannot.

So Su Lun targeted the files of some "senior faculty members".

Su Lun knew that he had entered this library, and it was absolutely impossible for no one to know.

At least some administrator-level NPCs must know what he is doing here. But so far no one has appeared to stop him, which gave Su Lun the confidence to summon the partners of the dawn group to come out to help.

In a monarchy society, the power of the king is paramount.

Su Lun has [Steinitz's Chessboard] in his hand, and his identity is a real investigator, so even if the senior management of the college knows that he is here to investigate the files, there is a high probability that he will not stop it, and he dare not stop it.

He didn't notify the people of the academy, and went directly to the fourth floor to investigate. Those NPCs with low levels of intelligence will probably default to him as a "secret investigator" and will not trigger too complicated a response.

Of course, doing so does come with some small risks.

This "Toxter Void Royal Alchemy Academy" used to have professionals of the ninth rank or even stronger. But at least judging from the current information, even the dean only has a combat power of about seven ranks left.

But the dawn regiment is not without the power to fight.

After trying it, the other party hasn't come out yet, so the risk is no longer a risk.

When there are many people to do things, more than a hundred people helped to look through the files together, and quickly went through them roughly.

No one has found any archives with the name "Herbert Hiberle."

Su Lun was not surprised at all.

Since I couldn't find any information in the academy, it's normal that I couldn't find it in the archives.

What he was looking for were some related clues.

He guessed that there was a good chance that this name was his real name.

Not now, most likely it was "erased".

This is an extraordinary world, there are indeed some special means that can directly erase all related texts, but BUG also appeared.

Files can be erased, but it is impossible to completely erase "his" social relations and some activities in this world.

as expected.

After browsing for about two or three hours, Su Lun was still carefully checking the files of those faculty members. At this moment, Albuquerque, who was flipping through the old files in the corner, found something, and whispered: "Teacher, please take a look, I found something that may be what you are looking for."

Su Lun walked over and asked, "What did you find?"

Albuquerque pointed to a file and said directly: "Teacher, this is a file named 'Pedro Rona', he was the second student in the comprehensive assessment year of the academy in the year 3351 of the Tarco Lunar Calendar. At the same time, according to the records, I found the file records of the third to tenth place. However, after searching all the files of the same year, I did not find any relevant information about the first place. Moreover, I also looked at the assessment for that year According to the records in the archives, the assessment score of the second place was 754, and the first place was 996. The gap is almost crushing."

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, took out another file with the spider spear behind him, and expressed his own analysis: "It stands to reason that such a 'genius' would definitely not be an unknown person. Even if it is What accident happened, there should be a record. Moreover, this person's research direction is very special. I saw a name mentioned in the ninth place in the research topic of his award-winning research topic, called "On the Void Gene" Feasibility of integrating into the human body." This seems to be the same thing as the [Void Gene Medicine] you mentioned earlier."

"."

Su Lun listened to his disciple's narration, with a look of affirmation in his eyes.

Albuquerque's [Seven-Apertures and Exquisite Heart] talent has an excellent ability in observation and analysis that far surpasses others. Those files that were ignored by others and had been roughly read, he captured the key points at once.

Su Lun took the file in Albuquerque's hand, and found that his disciple's train of thought was completely fine!

"The first place thirty years ago should have been that 'Herbert Hiberle'."

Su Lun's eyes turned frequently, and finally felt that he had found the key to breaking the game.

Having strong research ability satisfies the condition.

Moreover, it is also confirmed that the name of this person was erased by some special means.

"Well done, Albuquerque!"

Now that time is running out, Su Lun didn't say much, and instead said: "I don't need to worry about the archives for the time being. Everyone, please go to the library to find all the classics related to the 'Void Gene Project'!"

He felt that since he was a genius, he should have left more clues.

"Yes, Mr. Sullen!"

Upon hearing this, everyone left the file room one after another.

This "Toxter Alchemy Academy" is an academy specializing in the study of the void.

Almost everyone here is a space warlock.

However, if an alchemist wants to integrate the Void Planting Equipment, he cannot avoid the problem of "distortion".

Therefore, the academy researches various topics of preventing distortion and improving the affinity for the void.

A lot of research results have also been obtained.

The people of the North Sea Fleet had actually discovered clues before. They found a simple description of a [Void Genetic Potion] in a few words in some classics.

It is a kind of "crazy subject" that allows people to obtain a super affinity for the void.

It's not some kind of temporary boosting potion, but directly allows human beings to blend into the void and become a semi-void bloodline creature permanently.

But because there is no exact information.

It may be a subject conjecture, or it may also be a research project with results.

But Su Lun had been injected with "X Serum" before, and he believed that it was feasible.

This is also one of his most important goals for entering this cursed space this time. If the potion is really available, he needs it himself. Qianjo just lacks some affinity fusion fifth-order cultivation equipment, and the rest of the dawn group also needs it.

If you can dig this clue deeply, you must not let it go.

So when Su Lun saw the file just now, he immediately connected the clues.

That "Herbert Hiberle" is very likely to be the "first place" in the student assessment thirty years ago.

And as long as this kind of gifted students don't leave, they will usually be the top of the academy in the future.

Su Lun rummaged through the personnel files of the years after the annual assessment.

Only then did I discover that the Void student vice-principal is usually equipped with six as a standard, but in the years 3360-3365 of the Tarkolu calendar, there were only five.

Seeing this, Su Lun was almost certain that Herbert was an erased vice president!

There are so many people, so it didn't take long for almost all the classics on the subject of "Void Gene" on the entire fourth floor to be taken over.

None had that name written on it.

Moreover, there does not seem to be a single tome that is the same as that subject.

But Su Lun didn't give up, and checked each book by himself.

The more genius you are, the more you like to "show off skills".

When the great ancient alchemists recorded certain secrets, they usually used special encryption methods, and the dawn era was almost the pinnacle of cryptography.

But no matter how special cryptography is, it is almost time-sensitive, and most encryption methods have now been deciphered.

Su Lun himself is proficient in at least hundreds of encryption methods, covering almost all encryption methods known in this era, not to mention the pupil of omniscience.

"Blood Gene Analysis of Void Devil Fish", "Dual Attribute Gene Inheritance of Void Electric Eel", "Magic Gene".

Su Lun read the books one by one, very fast.

But for fear of missing key information, almost every book has to be turned to the end.

The omniscient pupil of his left eye scanned the classics line by line, but saw a lot of content that showed "special encrypted information".

However, it took another nearly an hour, and after flipping through a hundred or two hundred books, there was no gain.

Su Lun didn't panic either.

Even if the "Void Invasion" broke out, now with this library, it is basically "guaranteed".

If not, find a way to come back next time.

But at this moment, he saw a book called "Research on Void Zerg".

It doesn't matter what the author's name is, it can't be "Herbert Hiberle".

This is a manuscript. When you open the pages, it is densely filled with various words, and there are also some hand-drawn drawings of the Void Zerg, which are very detailed.

In the Void Plane, Zerg is almost at the bottom of the food chain, and few people will study those low-level creatures. There are hundreds of species of Void Zerg recorded in this tome, which is very detailed. And there are some interesting alchemy laboratory records in the back.

This was originally a normal book, but when Su Lun looked at it, a hint of "encrypted information" appeared in his eyes.

Then he interpreted it according to the decoding method, and interesting content appeared.

The notes are as follows:

"The Void Zerg are low-intelligence creatures? The vast majority may be, but some are very terrifying existences."

"Ants aren't scary to elephants, but they're organized. I love that old adage."

"I studied the Void Zerg and discovered a problem. Our previous cognition seems to be wrong. Certain Void Zerg cannot be counted as an individual, but a group of tens of thousands of them can be counted as one 'Individuals'. They have a central 'brain' that directs the group of bugs to do certain complex instructions that a single individual cannot complete. I named it the 'mother bug'."

"The reproductive isolation between heterogeneous organisms is actually not complete isolation, but the failure to find a suitable 'bridge'. The more advanced the life form, the smaller the scope of reproductive isolation. The root cause is that the gene chain is sufficiently complex and complete. .Then, what if I use a high-level life form as a carrier to connect two low-level alien creatures that don't want to do anything? For example, use a certain god-level life form to connect the genetic chains of humans and void creatures. "

"I succeeded in the first phase of the experiment. I tried various void genetic materials, and finally chose a kind of 'Void Mother's Marrow Fluid', which is a rare god-level material."

"."

When Su Lun saw these contents in the notes, he knew he had found the right one.

A sharp light flashed in his eyes, and he thought, "This must be that Herbert's note!"

It is another very powerful encryption method. The content of the notes is completely normal and readable, but it hides what the author wants to leave behind.

Although this note does not record a detailed research report, it does record the truth about "falling asleep in the void".

After writing down the content, Su Lun frowned.

"I have calculated the probability that 'mother worms' will appear almost 100% in the hundreds of millions of groups. I notified the dean, explaining that the 'Katezi Void Zerg' that appeared near the space passage recently appeared A higher level of consciousness may even exceed the ninth level. The channel of the plane must be closed, otherwise it will bring unexpected disasters. But my proposal has not attracted the attention of the high-level of the empire. The void plane is the main source of the empire's financial revenue. Those who rely on this The rich members of the channel have brought huge resistance. Those greedy guys will not easily give up the faucet that flows out of 'black gold'. They deliberately lowered the danger rating of my report and dragged it on for several years. The investigation team of the empire It hasn’t come yet. I know that the disaster will be unavoidable until the resolution of the parliament is passed. Hey, greedy and stupid nobleman.”

"I am deformed, both physically and mentally, and I am imprisoned. I also thought about dying. But I want to keep my research results. It turns out that my thinking is right,' The Void Gene Potion' can transform human bloodlines and greatly increase the affinity of humans to the Void. As long as that little side effect is solved, I already have an idea. Unfortunately, the hostile factions in the academic circle do not support closing the channel, because of that little side effect, they A fierce public opinion attack was launched against me. I lost everything. But I don’t care about that. I only care about running out of time, and I want to study the ultimate [Void Genetic Potion].”

"It was only later that I realized that it wasn't an accident, but someone tampered with my experimental data, which made me deformed. It doesn't matter who it is, after all, the people who can get close to my laboratory are the people I trust the most Friend. I'm really not interested in power struggles, why involve me in it."

"I could be locked up and sent to Lab Zero. But I told the Academy the truth."

"Even if I become a monster, I still love this world and love alchemy."

"."

Su Lun read the contents of the notes.

All in three sentences.

A genius, researched a [Void Gene Potion], and was killed by an opponent in the academic world, and his name and honor were all erased;

It was probably a "warning" sent out more than ten years ago, saying that there was a problem with this space plane.

Then, the investigative team arrived until now.

"So, this 'master will' who cursed the space is actually this one?"

After reading it, Su Lun frowned and fell into deep thought.

The information obtained by the North Sea Fleet before almost all pointed to the fact that the dean may be the "master will" who cursed the space.

Now that I got this note, I found out that "Herbert Hiberle" was the one.

And now a new clue has been obtained, that is "Laboratory Zero".

Going there is very likely to get [Void Genetic Potion], there are more space cultivation equipment, materials, and even the entire cursed space can be broken.

Good things, it looks like they are all in the experimental area.

But the problem is that the laboratory area is now a "T-level" area, and there are no live animals yet.

This made Su Lun very tangled again.

At present, the "Void Invasion" broke out in less than an hour. After thinking about it, he didn't intend to take the risk after all.

Now that I have these clues, go back and organize them carefully, so I may not be able to think of some other solutions next time.

After reading those classics, Su Lun brought the summoned crew members into the Small Void Realm.

He planned to wait for the battle together, and then take the entire library's four floors of collections in one pot.

There was still an hour left, Su Lun had nothing to do, so he wandered around the four floors.

I was so focused on looking for the files just now that I didn't take a closer look at the things here. He is going to take a closer look now, lest there be any treasures that are missed when searching for a while, it will be bad.

As large as crystal chandeliers, murals, and sculptures. As small as doorknobs and teacups, each item has been identified.

From this point of view, many alchemy objects with special effects were found.

Even found several Mige.

However, after Su Lun opened it with the chessboard, he found that there was nothing inside.

But it's not incomprehensible.

He guessed that there is a high probability that only the dean has the authority to open those dense grids. Therefore, the vice president knew that there was a secret compartment, but he didn't know what was inside.

It also confirmed whether the main consciousness of this cursed space is the dean.

Su Lun was still looking for the "little surprise" happily, thinking that he would stay here until the battle started.

Suddenly, the omniscient eye once again identified a "space door" on the ceiling at the end of the corridor.

Just like going up from the third floor to the fourth floor, identification authority is required.

Above the head is a grand, gorgeous and mysterious starry sky ceiling. If you take a closer look, you will find that those stars are all kinds of gemstones and magic crystal nuclei.

Luxurious and glamorous, but nothing special on this fourth floor.

Su Lun looked up at the identified information in front of him, with a serious face, and thought: "Is there a fifth floor in this library? Will I meet an old guy who has tolerated me for a long time when I open it?"

He thought that he must have been discovered, and he didn't have any psychological burden, so he took out the chessboard and activated the authority again.

The nine-pointed star alchemy array lit up, and Su Lun watched the light and shadow on the ceiling of the starry sky spin for a while, and then

I didn't see any old man, but the suspended ceiling actually turned into an exit to outer space!

For a moment, Su Lun only felt that there was no gravity, and his whole body was floating.

Looking at the dense buildings in the space again, Su Lun's pupils shrank suddenly, and he was shocked: "T-level test area?!"

He never expected that on the fourth floor of the library, there would be an entrance directly connected to the experimental area in the passageway of the plane.

"That is to say, after the 'Void Invasion', the channel of the plane was closed. But it is actually possible to enter and exit the fourth floor of the library through this space door?"

At this moment, the adventurous heart that had been extinguished in Su Lun's heart suddenly ignited.
