Chapter 16 Core Array
A year later, Shi San was in the blacksmith shop.
"Brother, this sword is very good. It is made of iron essence. But why did you make the sword body and the hilt together? This not only uses more iron essence but also increases the weight of the sword. Using Wouldn’t a lighter material be better for the hilt? ”
Shi Yi nodded and said: "What I want to make is not an ordinary sword. The hilt is easily crushed with ordinary light materials, and if the materials between the sword body and the hilt are not compatible, the flow of soul power will be affected." Something went wrong.”
Hearing this, Tang San was slightly startled and said somewhat uncertainly: "Senior brother, do you want to make a sword that soul masters can use?"
Shi Yi nodded and said: "Yes, we are just one step away now."
Looking at the sword with a cold light, there is a hole on the hilt.
The melee soul guidance device was the first project Shi Yi tried. Compared with other soul guidance devices, it also has an unparalleled realistic foundation. If there is a weapon most commonly used by mainland residents who are not soul masters, it is swords, and the military is not. Too long a gun.
This sword was also made by Shi Yi relying on his daily soul master subsidy and a little bit of materials saved. In fact, for Shi Yi, he is more suitable for long weapons such as spears and sticks than swords, but he has no choice but to do it now He was really too poor. A spear made entirely of iron essence could be sold for at least five hundred gold soul coins on the market. He was able to obtain iron essence at a low cost because he followed Tang San to practice the cloak hammer technique.
"One step away?" Tang San asked with some confusion.
"Xiao San, if this sword is to be truly successful, it needs something else, something that can make the soul power show the properties you want and amplify this property." Shi Yi chuckled.
"What is it?" Tang San asked doubtfully.
"A brain, the core array of the soul guide." Shi Yi said with a smile.
After saying that, Shi Yi put the sword he had made into his soul guide.
The surprise on Tang San's face was even greater. After studying with Yu Xiaogang for a year, he naturally knew what a soul guide was.
"Weapon-like soul tools, I wonder how powerful they are compared to hidden weapons?" Tang San thought to himself.
Tang San didn't continue to ask. It was obvious that Shi Yi's soul guidance device was still in the research stage.
Seeing that Tang San had no problem, Shi Yi continued to think about the design of his first soul guidance device.
"Iron essence is the best material I can use at present. Most of the weapons of the elite army are also made of iron essence. The biggest advantage is that the leather is strong, but the weight is too heavy, far more than ordinary iron weapons. If I hadn't absorbed Qianjun The ant's soul ring should not be able to be lifted, let alone wielded at will. The materials used in the core circle are the best with wind attributes, which not only makes the weapon more agile, but also enhances its cutting ability. ”
"I can only ask the teacher for help with the materials. Let's think about the design of the core array first."
With this in mind, Shi Yi took out his little notebook from his soul guide and started to think.
According to Shi Yi's research on soul guidance devices, a core array represents the underlying logic of the operation of the soul guidance device. Take the storage belt given to him by Yu Xiaogang as an example. It only has the function of storage. The core array is divided into two Made up of different layers.
Under Shi Yi's careful observation, these two parts represent storage and taking out respectively. Shi Yi tried to carve the same core array on other materials, but it had no effect. Shi Yi had two guesses about this. , one is that the characterization is incomplete or there are errors in the characterization in some subtle places, and the other is the material problem. Every jade on the belt is not a simple material.
"The main function of the core array of the melee soul guide is to store energy and amplify, allowing the soul master to burst out with power beyond his own in each move under normal use of soul power. If the wind attribute material is used as the Relying on this, since the soul master can speed up his cultivation through special soul power operation routes, then the energy storage The core array must depict a closed loop shape, just like the soul power forms a cycle in the soul master's body. Different materials have different properties and patterns. If you want to speed up the energy storage and amplify the soul power explosion, then you must use the material Experiment on the most efficient route and shape for soul power to operate.”
"No wonder most core arrays are mainly circular."
Thinking of this, Shi Yi couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly. He already had his own experimental ideas for the characterization of the core array, and now he only lacked materials.
Helpless, Shi Yi could only accompany Tang San to strike iron with peace of mind.
After Shi Yi and Tang San completed the day's work in Shi San's blacksmith shop, during dinner time, Shi Yi couldn't wait to go to the second floor of the cafeteria to wait for Yu Xiaogang's appearance.
Yu Xiaogang also appeared in the canteen on time. When he came to the second floor, Yu Xiaogang saw a look of surprise on Shi Yi's face. Shi Yi came very early today.
After expertly ordering a few dishes at the canteen window, Yu Xiaogang slowly sat down in front of Shi Yi.
"Just tell me if you have anything to do." Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and said helplessly.
Shi Yi chuckled and said with a smile: "Teacher, do you have money? Or can you help me get special materials with wind properties that have particularly good conductivity?"
Yu Xiaogang looked surprised and said: "In just one year, has your research on soul guidance devices made any progress?"
Shi Yi smiled and said: "The only thing left is to experiment."
"I don't have any money, but maybe I can help you with special wind-attribute materials." Yu Xiaogang said to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi looked surprised and stretched out his hand towards Yu Xiaogang.
"Not now, maybe there will be in a few days." Yu Xiaogang said calmly towards Shi Yi.
"How many days will it take? You won't make plans for your two old friends, will you?" Shi Yi said with a smile.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and sighed slightly: "It seems that you already know my origin, and I haven't contacted Flender for a long time."
"How do you know that old friend will have what I want?" Shi Yi asked doubtfully.
After hearing this, Yu Xiaogang fell into memories and said: "Because it was Flanders' dream to build a college. When we traveled across the continent, Flanders collected these materials with different properties. The most important thing about a college is In the mimetic training environment, only a large number of special materials with the same properties can be stacked together through special means to create a mimetic training environment suitable for soul masters.”
Shi Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, Flanders' family wealth was much richer than he imagined.
"If we can successfully build the first soul guide, then when we go to Shrek in a few years, we can connect with the Qibao Glazed Sect, and we will no longer have to worry about materials and money." Shi Yi thought to himself. .
"Okay, let's eat first. Now that you have an idea, I will write a letter after dinner and help you get some materials." Yu Xiaogang said to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi nodded happily after hearing this.
……
Three days later, Shi Yi returned to his room after finishing his day's work.
When he opened the door, he saw various materials with flashing green light piled up in Yu Xiaogang's room. Seeing this, Shi Yi's young eyes were full of excitement. At this moment, Shi Yi had a clear understanding of the Soul Sage. Shi Yi originally thought that a Soul Sage like Flanders who did not bow to the powerful would be very poor, but Shi Yi was sure that the wind attribute materials in this room were completely sufficient. can make his experiment successful.
Shi Yi took a brief inventory and found that there were not only special metals, but also many wind-attribute materials produced on soul beasts, such as hard claws, feathers, and inner elixirs.
Shi Yi knocked on those special metals at random.
"Dear me, these materials cannot be carved by ordinary carving knives." Shi Yi couldn't help but murmured to himself.
"These things are the core of things made of iron. I am afraid that if the soul power is condensed to a certain extent, it will cause the entire soul guide to collapse."
Shi Yi picked through various materials and finally found a large piece of special wind-attributed metal among the pile of materials.
Although ordinary wind crystals are not very expensive, this piece of wind crystal is valuable because it is pure enough to ensure good engraving, and the material is sufficient to prevent the iron essence from being unable to withstand the power.
Finally, Shi Yi found a feather among the pile of materials, an extremely sharp feather. Just by holding it in his hand, Shi Yi could feel a breeze blowing against his hand. You must know that this was in In the room, a gust of wind would appear out of thin air.
"This thing is a natural carving knife. If it were made into a hidden weapon for Tang San, I'm afraid it would cause a lot of damage." Shi Yi looked happy at Ling Yu's power.
Shi Yi carefully tried to use the feather to divide the large piece of wind crystal into small portions. As a result, the feather's sharpness was far beyond Shi Yi's imagination. He cut the wind crystal with a casual stroke. Seeing this, Shi Yi was certain that the thing in his hand came from a wind-attributed soul beast that was at least 30,000 years old.
Shi Yi marked the large piece of wind crystal with a pen, divided the large piece of wind crystal into several parts, and couldn't wait to try it.
In fact, in Shi Yi's opinion, the core array of the soul guide is similar to the CPU of the computer in the previous life, and the characterization of the core array is to continuously add cores and threads to the core array based on the materials to ensure efficiency. Improvement, and continuous and precise carving in the already extremely small core array. In order to turn the core array into multi-core and multi-threaded, extremely high vision and mental power are required.
"No wonder the soul master has to wear glasses. It would be great if he could learn the purple magic eyes from Xiao San. Let's do it first. Without Zhang Butcher, he will have to eat pigs with hair on his head?" Shi Yi thought to himself.
"Start with the simplest circular closed loop, and try to create multiple connected loops in it..."
Shi Yi was concentrating on the painting, not even paying attention to the sound of opening and closing the door after Yu Xiaogang came back.
Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction when he saw Shi Yi's condition. This was the first time he saw such a serious look from Shi Yi. Of course, this also meant that the research on soul guide devices was very difficult.
Although Shi Yi is still a child, Yu Xiaogang has never treated Shi Yi as a child.
In this way, Shi Yi switched back and forth between the constant carving and the constant replacement of the wind crystal in his hand, even forgetting the most important daily meditation.
Seeing Shi Yi like this, Yu Xiaogang did not disturb Shi Yi and entered into meditation on his own.
I don't know how long it took, but when Shi Yi's last knife fell, a breeze appeared from the wind crystal in his hand. Shi Yi understood that he succeeded.
Shi Yi used a simple circle as the base of the formation and drew lessons from Tai Chi in his previous life. He drew two sets of interdependent and interconnected cores in the base of the formation to speed up the efficiency of soul power operation.
Immediately, Shi Yi excitedly took out the long sword made of iron from his soul guide. He had already reserved a groove on the hilt, and then inlaid the wind crystal with the core magic circle in his hand. Go up.
Looking at the sword in his hand, Shi Yi couldn't help but said happily: "I succeeded."
Shi Yi came back to his senses and looked out the window. Unexpectedly, it was already bright. A simple dual-core array took him a day and a night. Yu Xiaogang didn't know where he went.
Just when Shi Yi wanted to try out his first forged soul tool, a strong sense of fatigue appeared, and Shi Yi felt that his eyelids were as heavy as Mount Tai.
The long sword in his hand fell, and Shi Yi fainted.
I don't know how long it took, but Shi Yi gradually woke up, with a feeling of emptiness all over his body.
"Are you awake?" Yu Xiaogang's voice reached Shi Yi's ears.
Shi Yi tried his best to turn his head away, but saw Yu Xiaogang looking at the sword he forged.
Shi Yi smiled a little weakly and said: "How about it, it's pretty good."
Yu Xiaogang put down the sword in his hand, brought out a bowl of porridge from somewhere, fed Shi Yi a mouthful and said: "Yes, with the blessing of wind attribute, the sharpness is far superior to ordinary swords, and the speed of the sword is , the weight of the sword will change with the injection of soul power. The most important thing is that with the continuous injection of soul power, you can easily release the wind attribute sword energy. With this sword to match your power, ordinary The great soul master will not be your opponent.”
"Yeah, it's just as I expected." Shi Yi said, calmed down, struggled to sit up, took the bowl of porridge from Yu Xiaogang's hand and started eating it himself. It felt like being served by others. Not used to it.
"Remember, don't tell others that you can make soul tools easily." Yu Xiaogang placed the long sword next to Shi Yi and warned softly.
Shi Yi nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi with emotion. The child in front of him had accomplished something he could never imagine.
"It's best to use this sword sparingly. It wouldn't be good if it was targeted by someone with ulterior motives. Compared to this offensive soul guidance device, I think you should do more research on defensive soul guidance devices. Well, I really can’t imagine what the world would be like if soul guidance devices became popular.” Yu Xiaogang said.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Shi Yi gradually regained some of his strength.
Shi Yi smiled and said: "Teacher, there is nothing wrong with the weapons themselves. Now that soul guides are not popular, aren't there fewer fights?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said: "What you said makes sense, but what I am more worried about is not the soul master but the soul beast. Once this kind of soul guidance device becomes popular to a certain extent, the strength of the soul master will skyrocket, and the entire continent will not be the same." There will be a place for the soul beast.”
Shi Yi also nodded in agreement.
"Take a good rest for a few days. Your age is not suitable for such long-term research."
After saying that, Yu Xiaogang took out his notebook and began to observe the sword forged by Shi Yi.
