75: When science and magic are combined
“Run, the Pill Furnace is about to explode!”
With a roar from a staff member, the Alchemists, as if waking from a dream, quickly scattered and fled.
Without an energy supply, the already violently shaking Pill Furnace became even more unstable at this moment.
Boom!!!
Tens of thousands of small mushroom clouds rose one after another, and powerful shockwaves swept in all directions.
The other people who were still performing Alchemy, affected by the shockwaves from the explosion, instantly found their palm flames unstable.
Boom boom boom!!!
One after another, explosions rang out across Hua Xia, scaring the nearby People into thinking that a war had broken out!
More than a hundred thousand small mushroom clouds rose slowly.
Many residents watching the live broadcast at home felt strong tremors, and for a moment thought it was an earthquake, frantically opening their windows and jumping out.
Ultimately, out of over ten million people who performed Alchemy simultaneously with great fanfare, only about three thousand succeeded, and they were all absorbed into the Special Affairs Department’s Alchemy Bureau.
At the same time.
All the data from these three thousand-plus people’s Alchemy process was recorded by staff using instruments and transmitted to the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ data center.
Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The academicians are using various mathematical tools to analyze this data, hoping to find commonalities within the data to create instruments that can help the People perform Alchemy.
............
Half an hour later.
Another group of people set off for the Artifact Refining field.
After Bai Yang’s easy-to-understand explanation, most people understood the differences between different Materials.
Humans are the essence of heaven and earth.
Precisely because of this, forging Magical Artifacts from the human body will be more in line with the natural world and possess greater power.
As an alternative, animal bones can also be used to forge Magical Artifacts, but their quality is vastly inferior to Magical Artifacts made from the human body.
Taking the White Bone Pagoda as an example, a White Bone Pagoda forged from thirty-six deceased human bones, if successfully refined, would be a top-grade ordinary Magical Artifact.
If other animal bones were used, similarly forged from thirty-six bones, the resulting artifact would at most be a defective ordinary Magical Artifact.
“It is strictly forbidden to use the bodies of our own People to forge Magical Artifacts, even their remains are not allowed; if discovered, immediate humanitarian destruction!”
“During this period, the country will provide everyone with Materials, but in the future, everyone will have to rely on their own efforts!”
That’s what Bai Yang said.
The Artifact Refining fields in various places were packed with people.
The lines for collecting Materials were arranged in two rows.
The left row had quite a few people, mostly women and children, queuing to collect animal bones.
The right row was a vast and continuous line of people, stretching from the east end to the west end, twisting and turning, completely filling the Artifact Refining field!
On the wide road.
Many people, having received notifications from relatives and friends, rushed forward in a large crowd, their legs moving so fast they sparked on the ground, hurrying towards the Artifact Refining field.
The live broadcast lessons could be watched later as recordings.
The Little Japan remains would be distributed a little later!
Considering that everyone was an ordinary person and might find it difficult to accept refining Magical Artifacts from human remains for a while, the country specially set up two Material collection points at the Artifact Refining field.
The one on the left was for animal remains.
The one on the right was for the remains of Little Japan that Bai Yang had brought back in bulk using the Eighteen-Layer Merit Tower.
Before distributing the Materials, the Hua Xia government had not anticipated so many people coming to collect the Little Japan skeletons, so they had prepared quite a few animal remains.
This also led to the staff at the Artifact Refining field not initially setting a limit on the quantity of Little Japan remains to be collected.
As long as it wasn't someone asking for a dozen or so Little Japan remains at once, the staff approved their requests.
By the time the staff realized that more and more people were queuing for Little Japan remains, it was too late to impose limits!
There were so many people, simply not enough to distribute!
The Little Japan remains were quickly all taken.
Everyone rushed to the Artifact Refining field in a huge crowd, only to find that the Little Japan remains had already been claimed, leaving only a large pile of animal remains at the left Material collection point.
Since they had already come, they couldn't just do nothing, right?
“Brother, you took eight Little Japan remains, can you use all of them? Share two with me… one, even one is fine!”
“Elder brother, I beg you, give me one! I ran ten kilometers to get here, my shoes even fell off!”
“Not giving? Actually, I didn’t really want it, if you don’t give then don’t give… Brother, I truly beg you, give me one, please, be kind and share one with me!”
Those who had obtained Little Japan remains sternly refused, claiming they had queued for a long time to get them.
Seeing that these people wouldn’t budge with soft words, some like-minded brothers gathered together, preparing to use force.
Two brothers were seen sneaking over, jointly embracing the person who had claimed over a dozen Little Japan remains, while others rushed up, grabbed the Little Japan remains from the ground, and ran.
Of course, they also left one for the victim; they didn't steal all the Little Japan remains.
“Those were all my spoils of war…”
The victim cried, looking at the solitary Little Japan remains lying on the ground, growing angrier the more he looked, and rushed forward, delivering three big slaps.
The atmosphere at the Artifact Refining field gradually changed.
If one only heard the sounds, people would most likely think that a group of percussion enthusiasts were holding a gathering at the Artifact Refining field.
Once everyone’s anger had subsided, they finally began to refine Magical Artifacts using the methods Bai Yang had taught during the live broadcast.
How was that human emperor flag refined again?
A big brother scratched his head, pondering for a long time, but couldn't recall how to draw the symbols Bai Yang had taught, so he raised his hand and gave the Little Japan remains two big slaps.
Damn it, it was all Little Japan's fault, making him forget the Artifact Refining knowledge he had just learned!
............
Ten days passed in a flash.
During this period, the Chinese Academy of Sciences conducted day and night research on data related to Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Formation arrangement, and inscription engraving, finally achieving a Breakthrough.
A smart bracelet named Little White,
made a spectacular debut.
This smart bracelet contained the refining temperatures for various Medicinal Pills, Artifact Refining precautions, and other information included in the “Hua Xia Cultivation Encyclopedia.”
Even a new demonic cultivator who knew nothing could, by following the bracelet's prompts, refine Medicinal Pills, Magical Artifacts, and so on, with a success rate close to ninety percent.
Soon, the smart bracelets were distributed to everyone.
............
A certain Alchemy field.
“Little White, I want to refine the Blood Soul Pill!”
A middle-aged uncle shouted at the bracelet with full vigor, then ignited a flame in his palm.
“Start refining… Big brother, can you turn down the fire a bit? Are you trying to set the Pill Furnace on fire?”
“Yes, that’s the temperature… Can you be a bit more persistent? You’re already giving up?”
“Watching you perform Alchemy is truly exhausting! You finally refined the Blood Soul Pill, try to do it yourself in the future, don’t keep bothering me!”
Looking at the two crimson Blood Soul Pills in the Pill Furnace, the uncle couldn't quite feel happy.
Little White’s mouth was too venomous!
............
Formation Dao field.
“Little White, I want to practice the Spirit Gathering Formation!”
A young university student shouted with a chuunibyou flair.
“Alright, start setting it up.”
“No, buddy, why are you drawing a circle first? Listen to my instructions, first inject spiritual power into the Formation Flag and plant it in the ground, then find a stone…”
“Now it’s time to draw a circle, inject spiritual power into the stone powder and draw a circle around the Formation Flag… How big of a circle? It is recommended that you draw a circle around the entire Blue Star!”
“Little brother, if you’re bad, practice more, don’t disturb!”
The young university student was so lambasted that he lost his dreams, but the Demonic Gathering Formation was successfully set up.
The closer one got to the Formation Flag, the denser the Devilish Qi became.
............
Cat and Dog Pet Shop.
“Little White, I want to contract a kitty.”
A six-year-old little girl, with her fair and tender Little Fatty hands, pointed at the lazy ginger cat lying on the ground, and said to the bracelet in a sweet, childish voice.
“Good baby, turn to the Demonic Pet chapter in the “Hua Xia Cultivation Encyclopedia,” do you see the contract pattern? Imagine this pattern in the kitty’s head…”
“First, take two steps back, in case the kitty accidentally explodes, don’t let the blood splash on you…”
The contract inscription was completed.
“It’s a success, thank you, Little White!”
Die Lian clapped her hands happily and skipped out of the cat and dog pet shop, hugging the ginger cat.
