Studying Science in the Alternate World

Chapter 346 The Eight-Armed King

 Looking at Selsus who just had "cooperation" written on his face, Duke was speechless for a moment.

He thought that with Frannie Merganser as an example, Morningstar Arcane Mentors would flock to him and come to ask for cooperation. I never expected that Selsus, the Huiyue Arcane Master, would also be interested and come to look for an opportunity in person.

I want to cooperate with Duke in research, gain spirituality and aura.

Hopefully, I can impact the Crowning Sun Chapter.

"I have been studying natural history recently, and I am leading a team to study photonic computers. To simply understand, it is a spiritual tool that replaces the human brain in thinking." Naturally, Duke would not refuse Selsus, who is his die-hard ally .

 Selsus was startled when he heard this: "Thinking on behalf of the human brain?"

"To be precise, it replaces the human brain for calculations, so it is called a photon computer. Your Majesty, you might as well join us and study optical brains together." Duke said, "I plan to promote optical brains after they are successfully developed and help Arcane mages increase their computing power.”

 After his detailed introduction, Selsus already understood the value and significance of the optical brain.

Immediately he was shocked: "Okay, if the optical brain can succeed, Duke Duke, this will undoubtedly be another ring-level achievement! I won't be polite to you anymore. I will use my spirituality to help you promote the optical brain." Okay, let every arcane mage use the light brain!"

The arcane mages' research on spiritual arcana requires a lot of calculations. With the help of optical brain, the research power of the arcane mages can definitely be exploded in an instant.

  Let the entire spiritual arcana explode with more powerful innovative power.

so.

 Light brain is indeed a level achievement.

 Just do it, and with Duke's consent, Selsus immediately connected his Crystal Palace with Duke's Sage Mage Tower.

Jointly participate in the research and development of photonic computers.

 He ​​doesn't mind others sharing his research, and Selsus only needs this kind of cooperation to prove the Chapter of the Coronation of the Sun, and will not really take away the credit. And with the help of Selsus, the promotion of optical brain can go more smoothly.

There is a lot of disturbance, and the new year is coming again.

  Turning over the New Year, in the year 4431 of the Storm Calendar, Duke is thirty-five years old.

 After practicing and working, he spends most of his time studying optical brains. The prototype of an optical brain is not difficult to make, but he wants to keep improving.

 It took decades of development for computers on earth to evolve from big, clumsy machines to desktop computers that can be used at home. Duke not only wants to reproduce the computer, but also directly shorten the development process of these decades and highly integrate the optical brain.

  Let optical brains, like computers, enter thousands of households.

To achieve this, the most important thing is to innovate the processor. Duke and Selsas often communicate and discuss how to create a powerful processor.

"I know that the computer's processor is made of sand, and the circuit is carved with the help of a photolithography machine." Duke spent a lot of energy studying optical brains. "Optical brains are completely different computers. The processor needs the help of a single photon. To achieve switching between 0 and 1..."

In order to realize a high-end optical brain processor, under Duke's leadership, Thersus Crystal Palace and Duke's Sage Mage Tower mobilized a large number of arcane mage researchers, spent a lot of resources, and continuously invested in research and development.

　　Conquer the optical brain processor step by step.



Duke named this project "Optical Core". When the power of the optical core reaches Duke's approval, the photonic computer project can be announced as completed.

L.

 In the mage tower, Selsus typed on the keyboard himself, looking at the pictures that appeared on the optical brain prototype, he couldn't help but sigh.

“The optical brain is truly an epoch-making creation!”

 “You are always honored.” Duke responded with a smile.

The current optical brain prototype in the laboratory is still very large. Because there is no suitable optical core available, the original stacking method is used to stack countless spiritual cards to form a complete "photon pathway" to realize the 0 and 1. Binary calculations.

However, the Wild Continent is not the earth after all. There are extraordinary powers here, so the development path of optical brain is slightly twisted compared to computers.

 Various components and various communication protocols have been conquered under the research of Arcane Mage.

"I'm not exaggerating at all. To be honest, when I came to find you, I didn't actually have high hopes. It was just that the opportunity was in front of me, and I was not willing to give it up even if it was slim... But now it seems that if I can witness it from beginning to end, Maybe the optical brain will change the world..."

He didn't say anything else, for fear that it would be ineffective if he said it.

Of course, Duke knew that what Selsus wanted to say was that he felt that he was good again and could reach the Coronation Chapter.

  Impact 9-ring Sun Sun arcane tutor.

 After a pause, Selsus changed the subject: "The most correct decision I have ever made is to support you in your rise to power."

 Duke smiled slightly.

 Selsus stood up from the prototype.

Putting his hands behind his back, he slowly circled around the prototype, and continued to say to Duke beside him: "If I had known about your talent and attainments in the field of spiritual arcana, I would have helped you up when you first opened the Will of the Stars. .”

 “Haha.” Duke was noncommittal.

　　The old man Celsus blushed and said, "I am really not a lover of love!"

 Duke continued to laugh: "I understand, I understand."

 “You boy!” Celsus himself laughed, “Looking at your expression, I know you don’t believe me!”

  After joking for a while, Thersus praised again: "Using some instruments to replace the human brain for calculation, only you, the Five-ring Prophet and the Seven Sages, can do this."

"I'm just providing a little inspiration." Duke said modestly, "What I really want to praise are these researchers. No matter what ideas I have, they can realize my ideas through continuous exploration, and then we can build Such an optical brain."

 This is what he thinks.

The spiritual arcana of the Wilderness Continent has developed so far, and it can be said that it has laid an extremely solid foundation, on which Duke can paint with ink.

If it were on the earth, a material science could stop everything.

 But here, materials are not a limitation at all, but inspiration and ideas are constraints. Duke only needs to provide a little inspiration to achieve everything.

Hum buzz…

Outside the laboratory, a bell suddenly rang, seven times in a row.

　　Thelsus and Duke raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other, and said in surprise: "Another star is born!"

 The bell of the Magical Tower rings seven times, which means that a star has risen into the sky.

Soon someone came over to tell me that it was indeed a 6th-level Sky Arcane Mage who had officially completed the Chapter of Stars and was promoted to the 7th-level Morning Star Arcane Mage.

 “How magnificent, our Seven Towers Federation has another star!” Thersus praised.

Then he looked at Duke again: "This Pelonissa is also a learned sage, and there is no doubt that he was promoted to the stars with the help of his understanding of natural history. The former Ilavin, and the current Pelonius Sa, it can be said that they are all influenced by you."

“There may be some influence, but it is their own understanding of the spiritual arcana that determines their achievements.”

“You don’t have to belittle yourself. The expansion of your spiritual arcana has benefited countless arcane mages. This is an indelible fact.”

 Heard Thersus say this.

Duke is no longer modest: "My goal is to lead the world to glory. Now is just the beginning. I hope more people will benefit from this in the future."

 “I also hope that I will be one of the beneficiaries.”

 “Haha, I hope so too.”

 Sersus has the ambition to hit the 9th Ring Sun, so Duke will naturally not attack him. If he really succeeds, it can be regarded as exploring the way for Duke.

certainly.

Duke does not feel that Thersus can hit the 9th Ring Sun. As one of the few Huiyue Arcane Masters in the world, Selsus is indeed incredibly talented, but Andre Evening Primrose, who is even more talented, has also failed.

In Duke's mind, whether he can get out of the Coronation Chapter must be done by him himself!

 Two days later.

The meeting with the new stars was broadcast live by the Seven Towers Optoelectronics Station. Facing the camera, Peronissa talked eloquently and thanked Duke emphatically.

"Like Elaine, I am also a member of the Supreme Committee of the Erudite Tower. The work I have been busy with for more than ten years is inseparable from the achievements invented by Chairman Duke. These new cognitions have solidly helped me cope with Passed the Chapter of Stars!"

 After the live broadcast.

 The number of Duke’s followers has skyrocketed again. Even though Duke has not invented any great achievements in the past few years, his status is still rising.

The status of the first sage in the world is unshakable.

 After all, including Frannie Merganser, Eleven, and Pelonissa, he alone brought out a bright moon and two stars.

And in the foreseeable future, there will be more stars born because of Duke's influence.

These people have benefited from Duke, so they are naturally considered to be Duke's staunch believers. They brag about Duke without any ambiguity, and the bragging content is even higher.

 Ordinary people brag about Duke, and the stars brag about Duke. These are two different latitudes.

"Sir." Assistant Ibuprofen knocked on the door and came in, "Here at the Seven Towers Optical Observation Station, I would like to have a casual interview with you at the meeting of the stars and chat with Lord Beronissa. Beroni Mr. Sa also hopes to be on the live broadcast in person to thank you."

Duke, who was watching the live broadcast, was a little surprised: "The Seven Towers Visual Observation Station has a lot of fun, and there are so many tricks in a meeting."

 “What about you, sir?”

"reject."

 “Reject?”

Duke said without hesitation: "I study spiritual arcana, not to help anyone advance to the stars. Even if I provide help, it is because they themselves are favored by the spirit... In addition, congratulate Pelonissa for me."

 “Okay, I understand, sir.” Ibuprofen took the order.

Duke was left alone, sitting in the empty office, turning the sofa chair and looking at a calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall.

 “Indifferent and tranquil.”

 This is a calligraphy and painting created by him personally.

What he hung in the tree house was "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself", and what he hung in the office was "Indifferent and tranquil". All in all, this is a portrayal of his state of mind.

 In the past, I always liked to show off, but now I just want to hide my fame.

certainly.

The real reason is that Duke felt that Pelonissa had already thanked him during the live meeting. There is no need to make a special trip to hear a word of thanks and put on a show in front of every audience. Not only did it not achieve better results, it was also somewhat deliberate.

  He is the greatest sage in the world and one of the six major speakers. He must have his own style.

 …

　　Time flies, spring passes and autumn comes.

 Duke Sage Mage Tower, in the exclusive laboratory.

Taling Pheasant Yu sent a copy of "Seven Towers Daily", Duke took it and slowly read the recent news. What was reported on the front page was the second star born in the Seven Towers Federation this year, named Huntley Mustang, an alchemist sage.

At the beginning of the year, the learned sage Pelonissa was promoted to the stars. At the subsequent meeting of the stars, he thanked Duke.

Now, the alchemist Huntley Mustang also thanked Duke at his meeting with the stars.

"It was the Ring of Consonance invented by Prophet Duke that allowed me to glimpse a hint of the mystery of spiritual arcana, thereby listening to the whispers of the stars and successfully walking through the Chapter of Stars." Compared to the previous two stars' long speech, Huntley Mustang just Simple thanks. But it is an incredible achievement to be able to inspire the stars in different fields at the same time.

Moreover, Duke actually helped a Morning Star Arcane Master to pass the Chapter of the Moon Phases and be promoted to a Glowing Moon Arcane Master.

“One more star, tsk tsk!” Duke read the newspaper for a while, then stretched and started brewing Kung Fu tea on the table.

 Actually, he multitasks.

 Hand of the Arcane Weapon No. 1 and Hand of the Arcane Weapon No. 2, which have been upgraded to level 5 arcane weapons, are operating rapidly on the test bench.

Hands almost waved out afterimages, constantly refining some spiritual materials through alchemy.

 He is forging his only 6-ring arcane weapon - the hand of forbidden magic.

Since being promoted to the 5th Ring Ocean Arcane Mage, eight slots have been opened on the 5th ring orbit. Duke has not chosen to build arcane wonders. After all, with Arcane Hands No. 1, 2 and 3, any arcane spell can be used. Casting, there is no need to build an arcane wonder.

 In addition to constructing the arcane wonders of the forbidden spell system, he does not plan to build an independent arcane wonder.

 Hence.

These eight slots are all used to build arcane weapons.

First of all, for his 4-ring dragon knight status, he forged a 5-ring arcane weapon - the dragon knight sword. It can be large or small. It can transmit fighting energy infinitely and maximize the combat effectiveness of fighting spirit. Compared with sub-dragon weapons, it is better. But countless times.

  Secondly, for his status as a 5th-level Elf Qi Refining Master, he forged a 5th-level arcane weapon - the Hair Growth Scepter.

 Using this scepter, the speed and efficiency of casting totems will be greatly improved, and it will also provide additional opportunities to release totems and spells when Duke transforms into a beast form. It can be said that it maximizes the combat effectiveness of the Qi Refining Master.

 In daily life, he can also use the Hair Growth Wand to help him plant flowers and raise grass.

 Duke then prepared for traveling across continents and forged two special 5-ring arcane weapons - Energy Storage No. 1 and Energy Storage No. 2.

As the names suggest, the function of Energy Storage No. 1 and No. 2 is to continuously compress spiritual energy and store it in the ultimate state. When he falls into a desperate situation where his spiritual energy is exhausted, with the help of the projection spring and two energy storage arcane weapons, he can definitely still fight for three to five days.

Finally, Duke upgraded the Arcane Shield, Arcane Armor, Arcane Hand No. 1 and Arcane Hand No. 2 on the fourth ring orbit into fifth ring arcane weapons.

 At this point, the eight slots and the additional six slots on the fifth ring track are all completed.

He also upgraded the Eye of Arcana on the third orbit to the fourth orbit.

 The vacated slot was used to construct the arcane wonder of the 3rd ring arcane spell - Big Tornado, which is a wonder linkage with the 7th ring forbidden spell - Changfeng Wanli. It's a pity that Changfeng Wanli's other linked arcane spell, the 2-level arcane spell - Little Tornado, doesn't have the slot to build arcane wonders.

 So even though it has traveled thousands of miles, it still cannot exert its full power.

At the same time, Duke also forged a 4-ring arcane weapon - the Earth Dragon Armor.

As you can tell from the name, the Earth Dragon Armor is prepared for Kabuto, the Kabuto-armored mongoose dragon beast. When fighting on a dragon, Kabuto can wear the Earth Dragon Armor to strengthen his defense.

Even so, on the fourth ring track, four arcane weapons were taken away due to sublimation, but only two arcane weapons were added. After two arcane weapons came and went, two slots were still left.

 Duke is temporarily vacant and will be arranged when there is demand.

boom!

On the experimental platform, a ball of spiritual materials suddenly exploded into a ball of fireworks under the refining of Arcane Weapon Hand No. 1.

 Arcane Hand No. 2 quickly turned into a ball, wrapping the fireworks to prevent the explosion from causing damage to the experimental platform.

By the time the ball dispersed, the spiritual material had turned into fly ash.

The Eye of Arcane Weapon floating on the side took a look at this scene, shook his big eyes in a humane manner, and said in Duke's voice: "Even a 5-ring arcane weapon cannot achieve 100% accuracy when refining spiritual materials. 100% success rate... Fortunately, there are many spiritual materials, let’s continue!”

 Duke's mind can easily control the Arcane Weapon Hand and Arcane Weapon Eye without expending much energy, because these arcane weapons are constantly being upgraded and have added many auxiliary functions.

 One of them is memory operation.

 You can input all the operation processes recorded in the Xiaoyi database into Arcane Hand No. 1 and 2, so that Arcane Hand No. 1 and 2 can perfectly reproduce these operation processes.

This saves Duke himself from the trouble of expending energy to control.

Repeating the refining, a week later, with the help of the high efficiency of Arcane Hand No. 1 and No. 2, all the spiritual materials required for the Forbidden Hand were in place. Duke began to refine it himself and cast the most complex weapon to date. 6-ring arcane weapon.

 Compared with ordinary 6-ring arcane weapons, the Forbidden Hand has been integrated into a super-ring structure under the research and development of Xiaoyi.

It is not magical technology such as super one and two super rings, but super forbidden ring technology similar to Yalong - simple super one and two super rings are too difficult to achieve, because Duke's perception cannot keep up, so Xiaoyi also It's hard to cook without rice.

 Fortunately, the super-forbidden ring technology allows each ring structure to expand a little, so Xiaoyi can still calculate it.

“Now is the time to verify whether the ultra-forbidden ring technology is feasible.” Refining the last trace of material, it turned into light and flowed into the spiritual sea along with spiritual particles.

 Duke looks inside the spiritual sea.

 On the sixth ring track, in the last extra slot, countless light points representing spiritual materials merged into an arm-shaped ring structure.

 bit by bit.

 The integration process is very smooth. Waiting for the last bit of spiritual material light, it is successfully integrated into the arm-shaped ring structure.

The entire ring structure seemed to have caused some kind of qualitative change, quickly flashing bright light, and then the arm came to life.

"The fusion is complete, Master, the hand of forbidden magic has been activated, please perform the actual operation." Xiao Yi's voice sounded.

Duke looked at the complex structure of the Forbidden Hand and couldn't tell which ring the densely intertwined energy lines were. But it can be clearly seen that the load of these energy lines exceeds that of the normal ring structure.

 This is the special state of exceeding the forbidden ring.

"Okay!" Duke withdrew his thoughts and exited the state of looking inside the spiritual sea, then opened the window of the tree house and jumped outside.

 7th Ring Forbidden Technique - Changfeng Wanli, instant cast.

 The next second, the person appeared in the forest dozens of kilometers away. A large area of ​​desolate land appeared here, which was caused by his daily experiments with various arcane spells. Violent psychic particles accumulated here, and even plants could not grow.

For the animals in the forest, this is a dangerous and forbidden place. Except for ignorant bugs crawling around, no animals appear here.

 “Come out, Forbidden Hand!”

Following the guidance of his thoughts, a golden arm condensed in the air.

Different from the light blue crystal-like arcane hand and the light red crystal-like arcane hand, this arm does not have the texture of crystal, but is outlined by a ball of golden light, with a gelatinous texture. senses.

The seemingly brilliant golden light gathers together to form a soft colloid. The colloids merge with each other to outline the outline of this forbidden hand.

 Between the glossy flow of colloid, you can vaguely see countless special symbols rolling around, mysterious and unpredictable.

"Cool!" Duke quietly admired his forbidden magic hand, "Strictly speaking, this is not a 6-ring arcane weapon, but a super-forbidden ring artifact!"

 Arcane weapons endowed with super-ring structures such as super one-ring and super-two rings are called artifacts by the stars.

Duke's Forbidden Hand, although it does not have a super-one-ring or super-two-ring structure, it incorporates a super-forbidden ring structure and can also be classified as an artifact.

“Then the next step is to feel the power of this super-forbidden ring artifact.”

Duke silently guided his thoughts in his heart, and gave the order to the Forbidden Hand to release the 7-ring Forbidden Art - Grasp of Immortality. At the same time, Xiaoyi also received the instruction and quickly input a series of psychic energy sequences into the Forbidden Hand. code.

 Hand of Forbidden Magic is like a calculator, quickly analyzing the psychic sequence code and starting to run the program internally.

 It may seem too late, but in fact it’s just a matter of seconds.

The hand of forbidden magic began to dance, the five fingers spread out, the fingertips lit up one after another, and then he waved his hand forward fiercely.

Behind the arm, the 1-ring arcane shield, the 2-ring elemental shield...the 6-ring meteoric grip's arcane wonder structure lights up in an instant, and then disappears into the void again.

Then the void opened, and a big black-gray hand poked out of the crack.

The big hand itself has no color, but the big hand is surrounded by dense black space cracks, so the big hand looks black and gray.

 This is the 7-ring forbidden technique - Grasp of Immortality.

　　Boom!

Following Duke's wish, the big hand of the Immortal Grip protruded from the void and grabbed directly to the ground, digging a big hole into the barren ground.

 Then it exploded, leaving a huge crater.

 “Well, it’s very good, Xiaoyi, what do you think?”

"Judging from the energy level, it is about 58% of the master's instant immortal grip." Xiaoyi made a simple judgment with the help of the eye of the arcane weapon, "And the casting process of the forbidden hand took a total of 1.367 seconds. , the forward swing is too long.”

  Generally speaking, the hand of forbidden magic has a longer forward swing, and the power of the forbidden magic it casts has to be somewhat discounted, making it inferior to that cast by an arcane mage.

but.

Duke was not dissatisfied at all: "If the Forbidden Technique can be successfully released, the Forbidden Technique Hand is a qualified work, and it has also been verified that the super forbidden ring structure can indeed be integrated into the arcane weapon... Maybe it cannot be called an artifact. But it’s definitely a quasi-artifact!”

It is really difficult to release forbidden spells simply by relying on the 6-ring arcane weapon itself.

However, after integrating into and transcending the forbidden ring structure, I finally touched the true meaning of the forbidden technique, and successfully used a mysterious weapon to release the forbidden technique.

This is probably the first forbidden spell cast by a non-Arcane mage in the Wilderness Continent.

so.

Duke quickly issued an order: "Xiao Yi, learn from the successful super-forbidden ring structure in the hands of the forbidden arts and continue to study it. Then establish a new process and re-study the intermediate replication ring, advanced replication ring, earth replication ring, and ocean replication for me. ring."

He wants to build his copy ring into a quasi-artifact that is integrated into the forbidden ring structure, trying to maximize the power of arcane projection.

 “Okay, Master, a new process has been created for you...” Xiaoyi responded quickly.

Duke continued to experiment with the Hand of Forbidden Arts. With the help of the Hand of Forbidden Arts, he used all the forbidden arts systems in Xiaoyi's database.

 The already barren land was bombarded by these forbidden techniques, and the soil was ground into fine powder.

"Huhu...it's fierce, even the consumption is fierce." Duke took a breath and calmed down the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy in his body.

Usually releasing arcane spells, even if they are continuously bombarded, has no feeling to him, a marine arcane mage. Only if you release too many forbidden arts, you will feel a sense of emptiness in your body - the forbidden arts consume too much energy.

 The empty body quickly absorbs free spiritual particles from the outside world through meditation.

 But the surroundings are desolate, and the absorption efficiency of spiritual particles is far from meeting Duke's needs. The innate skill of the Great Ao Mage, the Fountain of Projection, is also pouring in spiritual particles, but the result is still a drop in the bucket.

"No wonder all the stars are running to the Holy City of Arcane. The thin spiritual particles in the outside world really make people feel uncomfortable... It's like... It's like people from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River went to the arid land of the northwest. After staying for a long time, they have a kind of The feeling of being **** to death.”

 Duke shook his head, he really didn't like this feeling.

So the 5-ring arcane weapons, Energy Storage No. 1 and Energy Storage No. 2, quickly injected spiritual energy into Duke's spiritual sea. In just a moment, the spiritual sea was filled up.

 “Huh, I still feel really good!”

 Duke snapped his fingers, and a level 1 arcane spell - water mirror spell - quickly formed in front of him. Looking at the image reflected in the mirror, he grinned.

　　Continue.

 Arcane Hand No. 1, Arcane Hand No. 2 appear, Arcane Hand No. 1, Arcane Hand No. 2, and Arcane Hand No. 3 appear.

Together with the Forbidden Magic Hands, they were suspended on both sides of Duke's body.

At this moment, when he looked at himself in the Water Mirror Technique, he felt as if the Eight-Armed Heavenly King had come to the world, and he was really awesome.
