Chapter 536 The technology on the brooch
Taking apart the copied brooch, Purficott analyzed and studied it in great detail.
Originally, she thought that the key core of this brooch was the gem. Before taking it apart, Perficot tested the brooch at a high level and confirmed that the energy source of the brooch was this gem, and that the shield was Expansion is also the effect of gemstones.
From this point of view, it seems that the base of the brooch is just for decoration, making it easier to wear the gemstone on the body.
However, in fact, after Purficott took the brooch apart and analyzed it, she came to a conclusion that made her feel a little incredible, that is, the reason why this brooch can be called an artifact, The main reason is still the base, not the gemstone.
Of course, this gem provides an energy source for the entire brooch, and generating a shield is also the function of the gem, but the base effectively utilizes the energy of the gem to provide the wearer with continuous status recovery.
Although this recovery effect is not strong, it is long-lasting and long-term wear is enough to ensure that the wearer can have a very good and healthy body.
And this is not the key. The existence of the bottom bracket effectively improves the energy utilization efficiency of the gem and amplifies the efficacy of the gem.
Because what he was dismantling was a replica, Purficott did not restrain himself too much, but let go and conducted a near-destructive test on the brooch base and gemstones.
The test results proved that the gem itself does have the function of opening a shield, but this shield only lasts for three minutes, and its defensive effect has changed from being able to resist a group of steam knights to only being able to resist a group of steam knights. Resist one.
From this point, we can see what amazing technology was used on the base of this brooch, and how wasteful the enchantment in the original gem was.
You must know that the base does not increase the energy of the gemstone, nor does it increase the energy consumption. It simply amplifies the original performance of the gemstone.
This shows how amazing the technology used on the base is, and how wasteful the original enchantment of this gem is. There is almost a tenfold gap between the two.
The gem itself is a pure gem about the size of a pigeon egg. Its color is orange-red like the warm sun, and its texture is crystal clear. Even with her eyes, there is almost no impurity visible.
Such a gem is very precious and rare no matter what the circumstances.
Of course there is no problem in using it as an alchemy material, but the premise is that your craftsmanship cannot be too bad, otherwise you will really be wasting things.
The skills of the lapidary who made this gemstone are really lackluster in Purficott’s view. After all, due to the development of the times, it is certainly impossible for craftsmen hundreds or thousands of years ago to grind gemstones into eight hearts and eight arrows. Come.
So, for the cutting and processing of gemstones, Perficott basically skipped it.
But compared with the excusable gem processing technology, the level of the alchemist who added the shield function and energy absorption function to this gem is really unsightly.
This is not to say that the level of this alchemist is poor. He can stabilize a shield in the gem and can also charge the gem itself. This in itself is a manifestation of technical strength.
But in Purficott's view, this is simply a waste of resources.
What could be wrong with such a pure and beautiful gem? It only took a long time to make it?
If there was only the gem itself, Purficott might also think that this might be due to the limitations of the skills of ancient gem workers, or that the alchemy at that time only had this level of capability.
But compared with the amazing technology on the base, the enchanting technology on the gemstones seems very clumsy. Especially after she carefully studied and figured out how ancient processors added various special effects to gemstones, she became even more disdainful of the ancient craftsmen who made gemstones.
This is not a modern person's criticism of an old friend, but an alchemist's disdain for the technology itself after figuring out how ancient craftsmen achieved it.
And because she confirmed after careful research, the core factor why this gem can develop a shield to resist attacks is its divinity.
Yes, divinity also exists in these artifacts.
Not only this brooch, but also all the artifacts that Perfectcott currently holds.
Its powerful effects can ultimately be attributed to the concept of divinity.
Different gods produce different divine effects, but these are only external manifestations, and their inner essence is still the particularity of divinity itself.
This special power born based on the faith of all living beings is more like a manifestation of will interference in reality.
Because believers have various expectations and worship of gods, when this worship and expectation are turned into specific reality, they will be given different effects and impose different changes on reality.
Reflected in the gemstone of the brooch in Purficott's hand is the ancient believers' worship of a god whose power is related to protection, which turns the power of the god into an interference in reality. , changing reality based on the concept of resisting attacks and deploying protection.
And this concept is sealed into the gem, and this power is solidified into the gem, and this gem can be used to display the corresponding power.
Because of this, it is really difficult for Purficott to express emotions such as appreciation and praise for the gem itself.
On the contrary, she highly praised the craftsmanship of the brooch base. In her opinion, this is the embodiment of the alchemist's wisdom and strength.
Or it can be understood this way, the divinity in the gem is gunpowder, and the enchantment on the gem makes the divinity into a cannonball, and the base is the barrel that shoots the cannonball.
Although the power of a cannonball depends on whether the gunpowder in the shell is strong enough, the real power of the cannonball depends on how fast the barrel can shoot it out. , and how far it can be pushed.
The cannonballs containing gunpowder also play a role that cannot be ignored.
However, it is obvious that in this brooch, the gunpowder is top-notch, and the barrel is also top-notch, but the cannonball... is not good.
After the critical review, Perfectcott analyzed all the techniques used in brooches. The bottom part really inspired her a lot, and she decided to make something based on the techniques she learned. New stuff comes out.
Of course, don’t think about artifacts. Although she still has a few ancestral spirits that she captured at the beginning, it would be a waste to extract divinity to use them for these purposes.
Perfect's plan is to imitate the brooch, use his own technology to imitate a batch of equipment that can generate shields, and apply it to his two knights.
