Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2301 Synthetic Materials
This shaping method does not require the use of an alchemy circle, similar to stamping shaping on Earth, Xia Duo designed a special spell to complete this process.

The results were almost exactly as he expected, because pressure shaping also did not change the material properties, but this shaping method is more suitable for a single workpiece, or a combination of multiple workpieces that can be assembled.

Imascar's household fingerprint lock is actually one piece, and shaping with pressure will cause the structure to be discrete. Although the function is the same as other shaping products, the protection effect is not as good.

"Sure enough, you need to try everything to understand the difference!"

After trying these methods of shaping the secret vessel, Xia Duo can be sure that the last step of shaping the secret vessel with arcane magic will not affect the function of the secret vessel itself.

Secondly, the various shaping methods of arcane magic need to be tailored to local conditions. Elemental shaping is the most versatile, but the cost is also the highest. Stamping shaping has the lowest batch cost, but designing spells is also the most cumbersome.

Thermoforming is only suitable for materials that do not change their properties due to heat, and their application range is relatively limited.

In addition, it is purely handmade, similar to blacksmiths, but it requires extremely high skills, and it also needs to understand the blueprint of secret device manufacturing. Relatively speaking, the cost may not be lower than elemental shaping.

In addition to shaping, Xia Duo has further confirmed the important position of materials in the magic system of creation through his attempts to manufacture secret weapons these days.

He decided to actively collect various materials in the future. He may not be able to keep up with Imaska ​​in the manufacture of secret weapons, but in the field of materials, he may not be able to overtake in a corner.

The so-called "creation materials" refer to materials that have been transformed by the power of creation, but these materials may not only be obtained through transformation by the power of creation.

It's just that the transformation of the power of creation will be more stable than the transformation spells in arcane magic, that's all.

For example, the azure stone transformed from pure water in the main body of Xiaduo Floating Void City uses the deep petrification spell excavated from the statue of the Sarukh witch-boa, which can completely change the material properties, but it still takes a while to make it The materiality is completely stable, otherwise a dispel magic can restore it to its original state.

The power of creation is different, it directly changes the nature of matter, does not require any waiting, and is not affected by dispelling magic.

If the Imaskars used the power of creation to achieve the effect of deep petrification, the stones they obtained could also be called creation materials.

There is a saying in Xia Duo's hometown that "Heavenly Creation" is the same here. The so-called creation materials are actually exactly the same as the materials found in nature that have not been altered by magic.

However, those special materials that can only be obtained through the power of creation can essentially be obtained through transformation spells of arcane magic, but Xia Duo needs to find a key point for realization.

The key point is the elemental composition of matter. As long as the mystery of the elemental composition of matter is understood, not to mention the materials of Imasca, all substances can be artificially synthesized in time.

For example, Mithril occupies an important position in the arcane magic system!
Xia Duo has long had the idea of ​​artificially synthesizing Mithril, but this kind of project involving the origin of matter is too basic, and it is too difficult to realize.

In his plan, this project will at least wait until the large-scale application of Mythra and the emergence of a large number of high-level mages in the Tower of Time.

Even now, having come into contact with the power of creation, Xia Duo did not plan to start this project immediately, but planned to arrange some people to try their luck after completing the creation myth.

See if you can use the power of creation to discover some new materials. Maybe you will be lucky and discover Mithril's pure water conversion formula directly!
He believes that even Imasca may be able to discover some guiding principles in the field of materials, but he is not much closer to the goal of randomly synthesizing specific materials.

When the Creation Mystery is completed, the biggest difficulty of this project may not be how to create things, but to record the creation process and detect the properties of new substances, which is an extremely cumbersome and huge project.

The only advantage compared to Imasca is that the Mysia is easy to operate, and the energy is guaranteed by Mythra, allowing continuous long-term experiments.

In addition, arcane magic also has obvious advantages in detecting new material properties, and it is cheaper and faster.

It is precisely because of these that Xia Duo believes that it is possible for him to overtake Imaska ​​in corners in terms of materials.

But after all, as long as industry is involved, population is a topic that cannot be avoided. The total population of Xia Duo Territory has reached hundreds of thousands after introducing new residents many times.

But compared to Imaska, it is far worse.

Just looking at the proportion of spellcasters, the Great Xia collar may have a higher proportion than the craftsmen of Imasca, but that is also because they have a large number of slaves to lower the proportion. The absolute number is far less than that because the total population is too small. .

Fortunately, the interior of Imasca has not yet been fully unified. Although the emperor's power has a great advantage, because of the collection of creation inheritance, the civil war has almost never stopped in the past few hundred years.

Not to mention the popularization of education, if ordinary people in Imaska ​​want to become craftsmen, they can only choose to join a workshop and start as an ordinary craftsman.

It is conceivable how efficient the inheritance is.

And the Great Xia Territory's internal government orders are unified, and the connection and integration with the Savile Territory is also proceeding in an orderly manner. The popularization of education has started a long time ago, and the only weak point is the population.

This still requires Xia Duo's continuous efforts to introduce new people from the outside world. Otherwise, if it grows naturally, I don't know that it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to catch up with Imasca, or the kingdom of elves!

In the past, the largest source of population in Xiaduo might have been the landless peasants in the Netheril interior, or the Langas people on the Langas Plain, but now there is an option of Imasca.

It is not necessarily only the Mulan people. There are still a large number of slaves of other ethnic groups in Imasca, but only the Mulan people have not shown the talent of craftsmen. They are born slaves and are the easiest to buy.

……

Leaving the laboratory, Xia Duo returned to his study, thinking about the design of the Creation Mystery, while writing and drawing on paper, making plans for the future development of Daxia Ling.

The short-term plan is to complete the basic civil education of the [-] Murans brought back from Imasca, mainly in terms of language, laws, and living habits, so that they can integrate into the territory as soon as possible.

In the mid-term, we will continue to promote the integration of the north and the south, and implement the various policies of the territory. Considering the feelings of Niya and Savile, there is no need for too many radical moves in this regard, just killing time.

But Xia Duo believed in the attraction of the Great Xia Order to the people of Savile, and the completion of this plan may be much faster than he expected.
