NFBE Chapter 45 This screw seems a bit redundant?
Chapter 45 This screw seems a bit redundant?
"Is the Alchemy Division having a meeting?" Fang Qi had just turned on his phone when he heard the noisy sounds around him.
He hadn't gained much recognition last night, so he didn't get many orders and went to bed early.
Fang Qi has been living a very good life these past two days. He has enough to eat, a safe place to stay, and his level has increased, and his abilities have also evolved significantly.
Compared to other mimics, Fang Qi is practically a winner in the world of mimics.
However, as his level increased, Fang Qi felt that his appetite was also getting bigger and bigger.
The lingering effects of yesterday's "Historical Recreation" and the previous stockpiles mean we can still enjoy this for a few more days.
But as a time traveler, the idea of being prepared for danger in times of peace was already ingrained in his bones. If he had enough to eat today and enough tomorrow, what about the day after tomorrow, and the day after that?
No, I need to work harder!
Click.
The warehouse door popped open, and Rosie, who had already packed up, came out.
"I still prefer sleeping inside Mr. Box," she sighed, stretching.
Rosie didn't go into the circular corridor yesterday because it was too expensive and not worth it; she found other good places instead!
Mr. Box's new form has a large interior space that is warm, breathable, and cool. There is even room to roll around in it!
"Dean Vance, fellow instructors, and students, what brings you all here?" Rose waved and gave a polite greeting.
Everyone had different expressions, and Vance broke the awkward silence by speaking:
"We were just talking about you. Speaking of which, what happened to June yesterday? We couldn't contact her after she sent out the invitations..."
"They've obtained new materials; they must be researching them now?"
Before Loxi could say anything more, the sound of a high-powered magical machine operating in the distance drew the attention of everyone present.
"That voice... a prototype golem?" The group exchanged glances, confirming their suspicions.
Everyone already knew that June was working on that "Red Triple Speed Golem" thing, and judging from the current situation, it seems to have succeeded.
The sound of magical vibrations grew closer, and a red figure appeared in Fang Qi's line of sight.
"Could this be a golem? Isn't this a motorcycle?" The eye on his screen blinked.
The golem has a streamlined shape and a beautiful design. The red and white color scheme is also very eye-catching. What attracts Fang Qi's attention the most is the curved crescent-shaped backrest.
The main problem is that there's a cannon barrel mounted on top of the golem, making it hard to miss.
The rough, hand-woven pipes were exposed, running from the cannon barrel all the way to the fuel tank, giving the impression that it could explode at any moment.
Jun executed a drift, leaning the motorcycle against Fang Qi, and jumped off, his mage robes billowing in the wind: "How about it? My new golem?"
"Is something without legs still a golem?" a student asked, puzzled. "Professor, you said last time..."
"Foolish! Your aesthetic sense is stuck a hundred years in the past!" June scoffed, pushing up her goggles.
"Does it mean that only those unmagical barbarians in Vajra to the north, who build a bunch of metal golems that just spew black smoke and walk like old ladies taking a stroll, can be called golems?"
"Can you run fast with your feet on wheels?" He patted his car.
"Their heavily armored tanks are like stationary targets in front of the Red Comet! As long as I'm fast enough, their artillery fire will never catch me!"
Zhu En hadn't forgotten the purpose of sending the invitation. After a pause, she didn't dwell on the issue of her feet and went straight to the point:
"Loshi has made a major discovery regarding the Metra civilization, which could very well change the landscape of the Academy."
The professors, who had been watching the spectacle, stopped smiling and became serious upon hearing this.
Vance asked, "You mean the creation machine? The research has progressed so quickly?"
Jun shook his head: "That thing is perfectly sealed, there's not a single magic interface to be found. I can't study it without taking it apart, but..."
He pointed to the red comet behind him: "The output of the Metra civilization has solved a problem that has been bothering me for a long time."
"Let me adjust it a bit, then I'll give you a demonstration!" He gave a thumbs up, revealing a set of neat white teeth, put the goggles back over his eyes, and eagerly squatted down.
He pulled out a tuning fork and started banging on the motorcycle.
"Vajra, barbarians without magic, emitting black smoke? Sounds a bit like steam technology..." Fang Qi silently noted it down.
If we have the chance, we could go north and find some steam engines or something similar to guide the evolution of "mimicry".
However, his attention is not on that right now.
Just now, Fang Qi scanned the crimson comet leaning against him with the trading terminal.
【Red Comet (Prototype), CC-rated entity, high-risk asset.】
A high-speed magical vehicle handcrafted by alchemists, its entire body is covered in red paint that reduces drag, and its theoretical maximum speed is extremely high.
The core power source has been replaced with the "Metra Standard Cube," and because its energy output specifications are incompatible with those of other components, it is at the point of structural collapse.
The "No. 7 flow-limiting bolt" on the bearing is hindering energy circulation, which may limit its performance. Adjustment is recommended.
The motorcycle looked impressive with its thick eyebrows and big eyes, but it turned out to be just for show!
Fang Qi read the instructions again.
"It seems the magic of the standard block design is too strong; the frame material isn't up to par, which limits the bike's performance and even risks it falling apart?"
The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became that this was indeed the case. The trading terminal had clearly stated at the end that the current-limiting bolt was causing the energy circulation to be obstructed and the performance to be limited...
"One, two, three... seven, it should be this one!" Fang Qizheng counted them over and over again, and after confirming that it was correct, he took a sip from the feeding port!
boo.
With a soft click, the screws hidden on the back of the motorcycle vanished instantly from his mouth.
"Hmm, crunchy and crunchy, tastes like mithril, really good, just a bit too much engine oil."
The screw disappeared in the very instant.
The chaotic sounds from the tuning fork suddenly became orderly, and a crisp, pleasant sound rang out.
June, who had been frowning and struggling with the screws, was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief:
"It worked? I just twisted it randomly, and I actually found the perfect tightness?"
"Did you hear that? The noise's gone!" He jumped to his feet and shouted to the crowd.
"Watch closely! This is the true alchemical aesthetics of Akasha; speed will undoubtedly surpass armor and firepower!"
Fang Qi: (^v^)
Exactly! How could a mere bolt become an obstacle to the debut of your product?
This is a win-win situation!
Zhu En stepped onto the red comet and gently turned the handle.
The magical vibrations were so regular, and the sound so melodious.
The energy is so pure, and the output is so stable!
The smell of engine oil filled his nostrils; he took a deep breath and a look of rapture appeared on his face.
"I'm off!"
hum!
The exposed energy channels lit up, and transparent magic flowed through them.
"The magic in the pipes is completely pure? Is this the standard Metra cube?" Everyone exclaimed in amazement.
