Chapter 320 (1/2)
From making suggestions to reaching cooperation intention, o'nei, the alchemist of the furnace college, who is second only to the president, almost agreed without thinking, and mobilized all alchemists and apprentices of half the furnace college to put down their work and invest in this almost impossible project.
However, before that, the most basic contract still needs to be signed to clarify the obligations and rights of both parties. Furnace college, which works for the imperial Legion all year round, may be the most ”contract spirit” group of Wizards:
The lengthy content, in short, is a new rune construction equation provided by Loren, Isaac and ayin, which can stably release the power of the void; The furnace college provides experimental equipment, resources and manpower.
In exchange, Isaac and the three of them must grant this construction equation to the furnace college without reservation. Both parties must ensure that this construction equation cannot be granted to outsiders or used without the permission of the other party.
This contract is more or less unfair. After all, the last three people can only get the sample of the final experimental results, but the furnace college has got a brand-new equation.
However, considering that only two wizard colleges in the Empire have forging hammers of the ”ground shaker” level, at present, the furnace college is their only choice - not to mention that the furnace college also has to take a high risk in this uncertain and purely tentative difficult experiment.
In this way, a test with infinite success rate approaching zero and uncertain time limit of one day began in the furnace college.
Code ”bright silver”.
……………………………………………………
Noon, furnace college, underground laboratory.
The originally spacious space was crowded. While the fireplaces and crucibles around lit up the whole laboratory, it also made the temperature unbearable, like a hot and red furnace, and even distorted the surrounding light.
The ”ground shaker”, originally fixed on one side of the wall, has moved to the center of the underground laboratory with the sliding rail and traction wheel placed on the dome. Three or four alchemists in robes are taking their apprentices for final debugging.
According to the explanation of o'nei alchemist, this is because the power of the ”ground shaker” has exceeded the conventional forging hammer. If it is not placed in the center, it is likely to disintegrate and collapse the whole underground laboratory.
And don't forget that the melting pot college and the church in melting pot town are built on the top of the hill. Once it collapses... The consequences are absolutely unimaginable.
The whole experiment was divided into several parts, and then each alchemist of the furnace college led their apprentices to take charge of each small step, and finally completed it together.
In front of each worktable and beside each crucible, sweating alchemists endured high temperature, noise and dirt. While wiping off the sweat from the smoke and evaporation on their forehead, they recorded data and steps on the parchment in their hands with ink that would dry up at any time. Every wizard's attitude was serious to an unreasonable attitude.
That serious look, almost crazy expression, and excited to slightly trembling hands, as if this was not an experiment with an incomparably low success rate, but... Like a pilgrimage
A pilgrimage only for crazy believers!
”All the mentors and apprentices of the melting furnace college grasp your work. I don't want to see any slack, fatigue or mistakes!”
”Listen clearly, I! Don't see! Any mistakes!”
The Dean, who was supposed to be in the dungeon of melting pot town, was standing on a workbench in the laboratory. His voice like a bell became the only voice echoing in the laboratory:
”One day, we only have one day! When the sun rises tomorrow morning, it is the end of the experiment - no one is allowed to stop until then!”
No wizard or apprentice answered. The whole laboratory still couldn't hear any sound except the blazing flames of crucible and fireplace and the grinding of parts.
In fact, if a person is willing to look up, he will find the details of the Dean: the original wizard's robe has been replaced with coarse linen prison clothes, and iron chains are handcuffed on the ankles of his feet. He must be careful even when walking, otherwise he may trip over himself.
Finding the Dean was not a plea from the Wizards of the college, but the result of Loren's initiative to discuss with Brandon - after all, such a huge and complex experiment, just trying to organize all the apprentices and alchemists is a very troublesome thing, and the time may come before finishing sorting out.
Therefore, the Dean has become their only and best candidate.
After watching Isaac's equation building, the Dean, like o'nei, immediately agreed without even thinking about it - this time, not half, but the whole furnace college has been involved in the experiment!
