Chapter 1007 989. Exchange of Academic Letters
It is true to say that Kalkstein's "Making Inanimate Matter Move" was helpful to Lan En.
When Lan En built his own version of [Inner Steel], he used the knowledge in this book to build his own knowledge framework about golems and magic-driven substances.
In the end, they succeeded in building a version of the [Inner Steel] that is no less powerful than the super organ possessed by the Primaris Space Marines, and is even more powerful.
After all, the Nergigante's bone powder only gave Valyrian steel the regenerated and strong properties, but there was no way to dictate where these regenerated and spreading steel wire cables would grow.
This part of the control theory of steel wire cables was constructed by Lan En and Mentos after tinkering with the golem theory.
Treat these steel wire cables like golems, allowing them to receive orders and grow rigidly and strictly according to the orders.
There is a quite famous story about the golem, which Lan En heard at Aretuza's 'Magical Security and Hygiene' lecture.
‘A forgetful mage created a golem, made it move by casting Alzu’s Thunder, and then immersed himself in the esoteric tomes after making a request to bring me water. The golem never stopped, and in the end, not only the mage's house, but also the entire city turned into a swamp. ’
Use the command golem to command the steel wire cable extended by the [Tendon Coil].
With the cooperation of Mentos' computing power, if Lan En's commands are refreshed quickly and meticulously enough, they will cover every wire and cable in the body.
Then he can even maintain his mobility in extreme situations where his bones are completely broken and his muscles are torn, just by relying on the [Tendon Coil].
It is equivalent to a built-in smart skeleton.
So Kalkstein's theory was of great help to Lan En.
But at this moment, Kalkstein, who met Lan En, seemed even more excited.
"Your theory of cell differentiation and division has brought our understanding of cells to a new level! Can you imagine how I felt when I saw that paper of yours? Oh my God"
Kalkstein side As he spoke, he even seemed to be dancing.
His excitement was palpable.
Lan has always been repulsive and wary of his 'fame' after the Battle of Sodden Mountain.
So much so that he wears a hood and cloak for a long time when walking outside and avoids showing his face.
But Kalkstan behaved differently.
He fully demonstrated his academic level in his speech, as well as his understanding of the theories proposed by Lan En before.
So this is not the excitement generated by 'meeting a celebrity', but the excitement generated by academic discussants after meeting the author of a certain theory.
Shani, who was originally standing at the door, looking like she was about to see off the guests, suddenly opened her wonderful eyes after hearing the alchemy master's exclamation.
She completely left the few people standing at the door ready to go out in place.
In the narrow and cramped room, he squeezed his way between Geralt and Dandelion.
"Is it Master Lan En? The Duke of Cintra?"
The female student who just entered college shouted while squeezing.
She looks much more eager now than before.
After all, according to Dandelion, she studied with a master alchemist in order to make progress in medicine.
Now, regardless of whether they are warlocks or ordinary people, in the entire academic circle, it is estimated that there are few people who have explored the field of combining alchemy and human body structure deeper than Lan En.
For her, Lan En is considered a ‘professional counterpart’ mentor-level scholar.
But when Shani squeezed over, Lan En had already put down his hood again, and just made a sound in the shadow under the hood to talk to them.
Dandelion and Geralt looked at each other. One of them had a degree in liberal arts, and the other had never even attended a serious school.
I’ve never seen people from the science field engage in academic discussions.
However, out of some sensitivity, Dandelion quietly approached Triss.
The sorceress is now crossing her arms, and one finger is pulling down a strand of her signature long burgundy hair and twisting it around.
Her eyes were always fixed on the tall figure. Even wearing a cloak did not affect Triss from admiring her lover's body while recalling the feeling of last night.
“Your eyes are so thick that it’s like honey is about to flow out.”
Dandelion complained softly as he came closer.
"But based on my experience, Triss. When a man discusses a topic with another group of people in front of his lover that she doesn't understand and can't get in, anger and disappointment are almost natural. Don't you feel this way? ?”
“The feeling you are talking about should be called ‘sense of crisis’ and ‘sense of neglect’, Dandelion.”
Triss did not turn her head, nor did she. Open your eyes, just lower your voice to the level of the poet, and your tone is natural and casual.
“This schoolmate of yours is indeed very beautiful, but she still has to grow up for two more years, and she is just a little chick now. Do you think I will have a sense of crisis about her?”
“ And we all know that if Lan wants to get a girl into bed, he can solve 90% of the problem by just lifting the hood on his head. Has he lifted it now?
Dandelion prided himself on not being blind, so he shook his head, smacked his lips, and stood next to Geralt, calmly receiving the witcher's eyes as he watched a good show.
Shani has just entered college now. She actually didn't interrupt and even understood the basics of Lan En's theory. But this female college student is indeed as Dandelion said, with a clear purpose and a persistent spirit.
She estimated that she had already chosen a department and supervisor for herself before enrolling in Ossenfurt, and knew what theories and theories she should pay attention to if she wanted to be a good doctor. scholar.
So just by listening in on the discussion between Kalkestein and Lan En, she also showed eagerness and hunger.
And there is no one who doesn’t know how to pretend to understand but interrupts and gets attention.
This sense of proportion alone is enough for many young people to learn from.
She really wants to learn something.
Lan En could feel it from her emotions.
“Are you here for your own industry?” Kalkstein looked at Lan En in surprise, and then said without hesitation.
"It is indeed dangerous to have the capital chain broken. I still have some money here, do you need it? No, I don't do it for anything. I just don't want scholars like you to be overwhelmed and haggard by asset problems. That is simply a waste."
“Our research process is like sailing on a large river and sea, full of currents, whirlpools, and dangerous sandbanks and rocks. The boatman alone can never figure out all the secrets of a waterway. He must go to the dock Exchange experiences and findings with other boatmen.”
Kalkestein’s words were sincere. Even though he had an unflattering, ape-like face, Lan En found him quite cute. .
Because emotionally, Kalkstein means it.
He was willing to spend some money for Lan En, a person he had just met, just so that his wisdom would not be hampered by trivial matters.
Although this is not all of his savings, but only a part, this behavior seems more sincere.
He wanted to do his best to help, although he seemed completely unclear about Lan's relationship with Arethusa and the Valyrian Chamber of Commerce.
Different from the image of being obsessed with alchemy, this guy seems to be actually quite heroic.
Lan En chuckled under the cloak.
"No, no need, Kalkstein. Thank you for your kindness. But in fact, I have almost dealt with the asset issue. Now I am just looking for someone to be my professional manager."
He looked at the instruments behind the alchemy master that were crude due to the limitations of his residence, as well as the high-end product being generated in these crude instruments - the golem heart base material.
The corners of Lan En's mouth suddenly curved in a subtle way.
"Your skills and creativity amaze me."
"I've got a great idea, Kalkstein. It might make us a fortune."
"Whether we make money or not can be discussed later." The ape-faced alchemy master waved his hands indifferently. He really didn't care about this.
Instead, Kalkstein grabbed Lan En's arm expectantly.
"Can you leave an address? A mailing address is also fine! I'm really interested in the crystal cultivation project you lead, and there are other knowledges that we can exchange!"
"No problem, just sign my name and send it to Aretuosa. I will receive and reply to the letter. I also want to communicate with you."
Lan promised Karl Stein, this made the ape-faced alchemist master rub his hands like a fly.
And he was still saying "It's not a loss!", "This trip to Novigrad is really a loss!" and so on.
After Lan En finished the academic exchange with Kalkstein and made an appointment for follow-up correspondence, he was about to turn around and leave.
Lan En, who was about to go out, paused. He raised a hand under his cloak and patted Shani's shoulder next to her, who was still full of excitement and was holding a small notebook to record the exchange just now.
He still didn’t let the female college student see his face.
“If you have ideas in your future studies, we can also communicate through letters.”
“Me? I, I’m just a student, I can also talk to you?!”
"But I think you have the potential to be a great doctor. Of course we can exchange academic issues."
Lan En said softly, he doesn't hate career-minded people, especially when this career is about saving lives and healing the wounded. doctor.
And the overall atmosphere in the academic circle is not good now.
Thanks to the warlocks' concept that "my power comes from my possession of knowledge, not from sharing it".
Even if it is a combination of scholars in the form of a research group, they will still have a hand in each other's hands.
Candid communication and discussion become a luxury.
Kalkistan not only showed a heroic outlook on money, but also liked Lan En's concept of sharing knowledge. He was indeed a powerful alchemist.
The same goes for Shani’s thirst for knowledge.
So he was looking forward to exchanging letters with the two of them.
