Chapter 309 Optimization
Are these Gu insects weaving their own cloth?
No, it's not even weaving, it's spinning silk directly from the beginning to look like clothes.
Li Qi knew about this technology that some of the Gu insects cultivated by witches had this function and could directly spin silk to weave clothes.
It seems that Liu Shenzhi has also learned this technique?
Only in this way can it be ‘naturally formed’.
Li Qi continued to observe, only to find that these magic weapon silkworms continued to spin silk. Soon, in less than two quarters of an hour, they had eaten a broken armor and spit out a new piece of clothing.
This new clothes is made of extremely thin iron wire. It looks extremely soft and feels like cloth. Only when you apply force will you notice how hard this thing is.
Each of these wires is thinner than a human hair, so no matter what the original material is, the touch after being woven into cloth is extremely soft.
"Should this thing be reprocessed?" Li Qi tilted his head and revealed the essence in one sentence.
Isn't this thing just reprocessed?
The previous armor was dismantled and then made into this piece of clothing.
Liu Shenzhi laughed loudly, patted Li Qi's shoulder and motioned for him to pick it up: "This is not that simple. Brother Li, please try this magic weapon and compare it with the previous armor. This is serious Although the witchcraft weapon of the Eight Classics is only of the ninth grade, it has other magical powers."
Li Qi was also curious about what was different about this thing, so he picked it up, concentrated on reading the information scanned by Zhenzhiyun.
As soon as he got started, he noticed something strange.
this thing……
A lot has changed.
The weaving technique has changed, the magic contained in it has changed, and even the original flaws have changed.
The previous armor seemed to be used to fully enhance defense. It could form a layer of air shield on the outer layer to resist all external influences, just like protective clothing.
But this piece of clothing now is completely different from the armor just now.
The spells have changed. Now they can only protect against spells, but they are ineffective against physical attacks. However, the defensive power of spells has been greatly enhanced, and the runes and various structures have been completely changed.
Apart from the fact that the material and the energy contained in it are the same, there is no other similarity.
If I didn't say it, it would be difficult to see the origin of this thing.
Liu Shenzhi said proudly: "These Gu insects, as long as you throw in the materials of the ninth-grade magic weapon, they will continue to produce themselves, but they need to consume soul-like materials. The purer the better, I did the math and used the monster beast The remnant soul is the best and most economical. Some other things are too expensive and some are not so convenient to buy. "
"This change... wait, can it be mass-produced? No, but it is of no use. It has no advantage over the standard magic weapon." Li Qi thought about it for a while, but did not find the advantage of this thing.
It's fun, but it's of little value. This technology has no future.
Li Qi knew that humanity was originally a magic weapon assembly line, and the degree of automation was very high, and it could produce magic weapons in large quantities and stably.
The main soldiers in the Central Plains and a bunch of auxiliary troops similar to the servant army can be assigned a complete set of magic weapons that match their level.
This kind of thing is basically a degraded version, right?
Moreover, the remnant souls of monsters and beasts must be consumed, which is not cheap. Even in the Tang Dynasty, there were slaughterhouses where a large number of remnant souls could be purchased cheaply, but the industrial magic weapon assembly line next door didn't even need this.
The cost cannot be reduced, and the efficiency is even worse. It takes two quarters of an hour, that is, half an hour to produce one item.
On a mature assembly line, half an hour is enough to equip ten people.
However, Li Qi still asked: "Can this thing be learned? In other words, it can program different magic weapons."
Liu Shenzhi explained: "No, these wizard silkworms can only weave this one piece of clothing for the time being. The other logic is too difficult to weave. I haven't designed a good method yet, and they can only weave clothes. After all, they It can only spit out fibers, but it is difficult to use shields or weapons. Maybe I can try to get some Tris jewelry in the future, and it should be possible. "
After explaining, he walked to Li Qi again and took the clothes: "And I also want to say, Brother Li, you made a mistake this time."
"Did you make a mistake? What should I say?" Li Qi was curious.
This is a detail scanned out by Zhenzhiyun. There should be no omissions. Indeed, it has no advantages over mass-produced standard magic weapons.
"Indeed, in terms of production efficiency, this has no advantages over the standard magic weapon. But do you know the disadvantages of the standard magic weapon?" Liu Shenzhi asked with a smile.
Li Qize replied: "The disadvantage is that it can't adapt to everyone, so it can't use its full strength. But the magic weapon you produced is the same, it's nothing special."
This is the difference between standard magic weapons and customized magic weapons.
Customized magic weapons can easily adapt to your own skills and habits, and completely fit in with the small world of your body, allowing you to exert more power.
However, no matter how optimized the design of the standard magic weapon is, it must be oriented to the public, so if it cannot achieve this kind of fit, its power will naturally be even worse.
Therefore, generally those who have the conditions will prepare their own magic weapons. Standard magic weapons can only be used in large-scale military armaments or urban infrastructure such as the Tang Dynasty.
"Wrong, you've made a mistake, right? Brother Li, let's see what this thing is." Liu Shenzhi picked up the piece of clothing, put it on, and then activated it.
However, he saw that the magic contained in it began to operate, and a protective wall faintly enveloped Liu Shenzhi.
And...it fit his body perfectly.
It is not the kind of fit that is created according to his body in advance, but this magic weapon quickly changes itself so that it can fit the user.
"Huh?" Li Qi also noticed this immediately and asked in shock: "How did you do this?"
"Haha! This is the power of the magic weapon silkworm. This thing is not a humane standard magic weapon, but a combination of the natural magic weapons of the witchcraft. Brother Li, the witchcraft magic weapons you sold me , I found some 'alive' qualities in it, and after extracting it, that's it."
"This piece of clothing is essentially a living thing, so it needs to be made of soul-like materials such as residual souls. You have used witchcraft magic weapons, so you should know this property, right?"
"In other words, this is a method that combines the natural magic weapon of witchcraft and the existing automated manufacturing of humanity. How about it? It's amazing!" Liu Shenzhi threw the clothes to Li Qi and asked him to try it out. try,
Li Qi no longer looked at it, but put it on his body and started to use it.
Just as Liu Shenzhi said, the clothes began to gradually adapt to his body, so that they gradually began to fit his body.
It's just... Li Qi discovered that because his Kung Fu was too weird and mixed with too many things, it seemed like it had no strength when it was halfway transformed and could only get stuck there.
But it’s also awesome.
He immediately realized the power of this thing.
Business opportunity!
This thing can make a lot of money!
Because he was still carrying Luofu Mountain's debt, Li Qi's first reaction was to make money!
"Brother Liu, what is the cost and efficiency of this thing? Can a new type of magic weapon be developed?!" He immediately looked at Liu Shenzhi and asked hurriedly.
When Liu Shenzhi saw Li Qi's shocked look, he was immediately satisfied. He knew that Li Qi would definitely be shocked.
So he shook his head proudly: "As for the cost, it is about fifteen times more valuable than the standard method. The main reason is that it requires directly using ninth-grade magic weapons as raw materials, and adding the residual souls of monsters of the corresponding grade. The quality is not bad. Otherwise the degree of change will be reduced and the degree of adaptation will be too low.”
Li Qi shook his head when he heard this.
What a fuss!
Fifteen times more expensive? It's enough to ask a refiner to customize one for you, and it can also incorporate the refiner's own techniques and understanding, which is definitely much better than this thing.
"As for the new type of magic weapon, we can only refine this one for the time being. If we need other magic weapons, we need to cultivate new magic weapon silkworms from scratch. A nest of magic weapon silkworms can only learn the refining method of one magic weapon, and with our With the current ability, the cultivated witchcraft silkworms can only produce ninth-grade magic weapons at most."
"If you want to breed a new brood, it will probably cost the same as a seventh-grade magic weapon, just like this brood." Liu Shenzhi pointed to the brood of witchcraft silkworms and said.
After listening, Li Qi kept shaking his head.
The cost is too high, there are too many restrictions, and the upfront investment is huge.
Although it seems that there is still room for improvement in technology, it is probably just wishful thinking to make money now.
However, Li Qi naturally also saw that this thing was very likely to have future prospects. Although it was not very good at the moment, if the technology matured, it might be of great use.
Therefore, he said to Liu Shenzhi: "Brother Liu, don't be discouraged. Although Wu Qi Silkworm does not seem to have a competitive advantage now, it also has its own unique characteristics. If it continues to develop, it will definitely shine one day in the future. If it is If costs are reduced, efficiency is improved, and the speed of new product development is increased, this thing...maybe it can replace the current mass production line? "
"Replacing the mass-produced magic weapon? Wouldn't that subvert the foundation of contemporary Mohism? How could I have the courage? I would be very happy if it could be improved to a practical level." Liu Shenzhi received Li Qi's praise , but shook his head, no longer looked proud, and started thinking about the actual situation.
It seemed that he was very ambitious and just wanted to show off his achievements to Li Qi.
After all, it's only been a month.
It had only been a month since he had obtained Li Qi's witchcraft magic weapon, and he had already made such progress. It can only be said that Liu Shen was worthy of being a genius who could study in Taixue.
Everyone has their own abilities. Only then did Li Qi realize that apart from practicing faster, he didn't seem to have any special skills that he could excel at.
Liu Shenzhi is good at refining weapons, Shen Shuibi is good at medicine and alchemy, Boyue is strong in martial arts, Zhongminglou is a magic stick, Yanke is good at dancing and also knows the method of Zhouguang.
As for Li Qi himself, basically everything is limited to talking on paper. He talks clearly and logically, and has various theoretical classics at his fingertips, but he is blind when he gets started.
He doesn't know how to fight, his fighting ability is basically zero, and he has no special characteristics in terms of cultivation.
If I have to talk about a characteristic, it is fast.
He entered the seventh level in less than four years, and his cultivation speed was ridiculously fast. He relied on this to stand shoulder to shoulder with other geniuses.
As for the rest... he practiced so fast that he didn't have time to develop his special skills.
Thinking of this, Li Qi comforted him: "Is Juzi so powerful back then? Was it like this from the beginning of the assembly line? If it develops, even if it can't replace it, it might be able to break into a new world."
"Yes, following Brother Li's words, alas, there is still room for improvement, but unfortunately I can't find anything more suitable than the remnant souls of monster beasts to provide such activity, and I don't know what the witchcraft relies on to cultivate Gu insects. What, what should we do?" Liu Shenzhi looked at Li Qi with a look of unwillingness, and then blinked.
Li Qi was stunned.
Uh-huh...
This guy... called me here for this reason?
However, it seems that if he wants to make progress in this area, he must understand the methods of witchcraft better, and there is obviously no good way to do this in Chang'an.
Then, asking Li Qi directly is the best choice. After all, Li Qi is the master of Wushen Mountain, and Liu Shenzhi also got his magic weapon from Li Qi. Li Qi must know something about it.
But perhaps due to personality reasons, Liu Shenzhi did not ask directly, but chose this indirect approach.
Li Qi wanted to understand the reason and smiled: "I don't know how to cultivate Gu insects. It is the art of witchcraft. I am Wu Zhu. There is a big difference between them. But you have to say it is better than the residual soul of the monster beast. I have some materials.”
As he spoke, a golden flame popped out of Li Qi's hand.
This flame has no temperature, only a brilliant flame.
There was smoke rising from the bright candle flames, and there seemed to be some kind of murmuring sound ringing around, and there was a constant buzzing in the ears like mosquitoes and flies.
This is the holy flame from the holy king of the holy flame world.
This is what Li Qi just thought of.
Liu Shenzhi just said that the residual soul of the monster was added for adaptive activity. So, what if it is a divine soul product with higher activity?
If you want to cultivate the activity of this kind of Gu insect, then... So far, the most active material that Li Qi has seen and the most suitable for the cornerstone of the Kingdom of God is undoubtedly the Holy Flame.
This ray of holy flame was originally made by the Holy King, and Li Qi brought it back to prepare samples for sale.
But now, it seems that it can come in handy.
"This thing is a specialty in one of my worlds. Why don't you try it?" Li Qi Shengyan gestured.
Liu Shenzhi's expression was solemn.
"Is there anything of lower quality, preferably ninth grade. This one you have... I can't tell the depth, which means it is at least the essence of seventh grade or above. I'm afraid my witchcraft silkworm can't bear it." He said immediately.
Liu Shenzhi did not refuse.
He also felt that this kind of activity was far beyond the remnant soul of a dead thing!
The holy flame is the product of spiritual resonance and has an extremely strong spiritual will, so Shinto likes it. The remnant soul is a dead thing no matter what, and it cannot compare to the holy flame!
"Ninth-grade ones, of course." Li Qi immediately took out another ninth-grade holy flame and handed it to him.
This was echoed by the strong men of the Holy Flame Clan.
