Chapter 18: Science and Metaphysics


The washer-dryer is, of course, the crystallization of science.The reason why the washer-dryer is huge is that the structure is relatively complex.The three sides of the energy box at the bottom are engraved with three different elemental energy conversion circles.A water elemental energy transformation circle converts water elemental energy from elemental crystals, and then conducts it into a functional circle to form a simple water-based magic cleansing technique to clean clothes; A wind elemental energy conversion circle converts wind elemental energy from the elemental crystal, conducts it into the second functional circle, and forms a wind-based magic windscroll, which pushes the mechanical transmission device to rotate a large turbine in the metal barrel to ensure that the clothes are evenly and comprehensively cleaned; There is also a fire elemental energy conversion circle, which converts fire elemental energy from the elemental crystals and conducts it into an auxiliary temperature control array, so that the clothes can get a suitable drying temperature after washing.The energy transformation array, the functional array, and the auxiliary array have formed the three classic systems of the alchemy array.Alchemy circles must be carved on conductive metals, which are capable of conducting elemental energy.The alchemy circle that works together also needs to be connected with this metal.The quality of conductive metals can be good or bad, and the better the quality of conductive metals, the higher the degree of containment of elemental energy.The carving knife that depicts the circle has a very thin tube hidden in the tip of the knife, and while carving lines, the molten active metal is injected into the nicking, and the circle formed by the active metal through the complex lines can play a magical function.Of course, there are also good and bad quality of active metals, and the higher the quality and the better the activity, the more advanced the magic circle can be depicted.This is the basic architecture of modern elemental technology.This basic structure was created by Hepsius, the greatest magician of mankind and the "god of hope".More than a thousand years ago, Hepsius invented the alchemy circle and gave it as a gift to all mankind after the first great reconciliation between the Federation and the Empire.The reason why Hepsius is great and is unanimously respected and worshiped by all mankind and regardless of the federal empire is not only that he is the only true god powerhouse in this plane, but also that the alchemy circle system he created has improved people's livelihood in an all-round way.Turning cold metal into ruthless and endless productivity is where the name "alchemy" comes from.The history of human civilization has since entered a new era.Hepsius famously said - "Magic is the primary productive force." ”The meaning of a great man lies in the creation of an era.What Luo Songxi thought in his heart was that the washer-dryer now represents science, but before Helpsius created this great era, if someone said that a huge metal bucket could wash and dry dirty clothes, it was estimated that no one would believe it, and it would be ridiculed as metaphysics.He knew very well that although Mayor Jean said he believed him, he still didn't take what he said seriously.He just did his duty as the mayor of a town and cooperated with Luo Songxi to make some arrangements, showing that he took the security risks of Tarta Town seriously.But seeing that he was still not in a hurry, he was not in a hurry, and he obviously still felt that such a thing as a blood sacrifice ceremony was an impossible metaphysics.Science and metaphysics may just be a cognitive difference, if you tell someone who has never seen elemental magic, someone can call the wind and rain, wave and send out fireballs and ice arrows, he will also think that this is metaphysics, and he will not believe it at all.But in fact, elemental magic has formed a rigorous system thousands of years ago, and it is a great science developed according to the principle that the elements between heaven and earth can be artificially arranged to form various elemental reactions.As for Bob and his ilk......

Even if you believe it, it's useless.There is not much time left for Tarta Town, but in the whole town, he is the only one who believes that the blood sacrifice ceremony will really happen, Luo Songxi suddenly felt that he himself was also a little shaken, is what Old John said true?

The aunt saw Luo Songxi sitting on the ladder in a daze, and shouted at him, "Xiao Luo, have you encountered something worrying about recently?"

”"Yes," Luo Songxi came back to his senses, "Auntie, our ...... in Tarta Town" He thought that whether Auntie believed it or not, he would tell her the danger of Tarta Town first, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Auntie, "Young man, you are even more worried about Auntie, what are you worried about, you have to repair Auntie's washing and drying machine first, and then go and send it slowly." ”Luo Songxi was choked by her aunt's words, so she had to bury her head in her work.Although the structure of the washer-dryer is slightly complicated, it is still a piece of cake for Luo Songxi.As soon as he checked up and down, he found that there was actually no problem with the alchemy circle and the main mechanical bearings, but the spring pin switch on the water element energy conversion circle was a little poorly contacted.On the general elemental energy transformation circle, there will always be a small gap in the outermost circle of the complete circle line.When it is time to use it, a spring pin made of active metal is dropped to fill in the gap, so that the lines of the circle are connected, the elemental energy conversion begins, and the whole device begins to work.Luo Songxi climbed the ladder and spent three minutes changing a spring pin, and the washer-dryer was immediately back in operation.He saw that the aunt had gone out, and spent another five minutes slightly improving the functional circle of the cleansing technique to make the water more powerful, and spent another ten minutes increasing the original water spout from four to six, making the cleaning more efficient.The clothes that were sent over to be washed now won't be unclean, Luo Songxi thought.Of course, he knew that with such a change, the all-in-one machine's consumption of elemental crystals would increase by 30, but who made Auntie choke him up just now?

Besides, the aunt won't find out about this, at most she will complain that the concentration of elemental crystals has become lower again."

Alright, Auntie—" he shouted as he stood on the ladder and looked outside.The aunt walked in happily with two large buckets of dirty clothes, "Xiao Luo, you are really capable."

Oh, you don't know, there is a new face in the town these days, but a lot of clothes are sent to wash every day.His clothes were dirty, as if they had been mined in the ground, mud and sand.If the washer-dryer is not repaired, my aunt will be tired to death. ”Luo Songxi didn't have the heart to listen to his aunt's nagging, but a few words that inadvertently floated in his ears hit him like lightning."

Auntie, what did you just say?"

He jumped down the ladder, jumped in front of his aunt, and asked urgently.I said......

If this family is not repaired, my aunt will be exhausted to death......

What's wrong Xiao Luo?

”"No, the previous sentence."

Luo Songxi's tone was very anxious, and he was as fierce as the laundry aunt, and he was a little overwhelmed for a while.The aunt stroked the big waves on her head and said, "Ahead......

Oh, I said there was a new face in town, but he sent a lot of clothes to wash every day, and they were all dirty. ”"And do you know where he lives?"

Luo Songxi continued to ask."

How do I know that?

Auntie's laundry never offers door-to-door pick-up and delivery. ”"And when will he bring the clothes?""

At night, every day it's eight or nine o'clock in the evening, send dirty clothes, and then take away the clean clothes."

Aunt recalled."

Auntie, you do me a favor," Luo Songxi took out an artifact from his pocket and stuffed it into Auntie's hand without saying a word, "When that person comes at night, you will take advantage of the time when you enter the house to get him clean clothes, quietly go to the backyard, and throw this thing into my yard." ”The aunt was a little confused and asked Luo Songxi, "Xiao Luo, what are you so nervous about?"

Don't cause trouble for your aunt. ”"That's the case, aunt......"

Luo Songxi once again wanted to explain the matter of the blood sacrifice ceremony to aunt.But he was interrupted by his aunt again, "I know, Xiao Luo, he must owe you a lot of money."

Don't worry, I miss your aunt and me, I practiced it when I was young, known as the thirteenth sister of Xichen Mountain, and my aunt will definitely help you catch him. ”Luo Songxi exhaled and nodded heavily.………… The first day away from Old John seemed to have been a long one.Back at the alchemy shop, the genius had just been blackened.Luo Songxi buried himself in an easy chair, seized the time to recover his strength, and prepared for the night's action.After a day of running around like a fly without yielding anything, he unexpectedly got an extremely important clue from the laundry aunt.Fresh face, extremely dirty clothes every day, suspected of working underground......

Everything is similar to digging a cavern underground to set up an altar.You have to keep an eye on him, Luo Songxi thought, but this job should be Bob's according to reason, but this fat man of more than two hundred pounds is obviously unreliable.I have to find out the altar of the blood sacrifice ritual by myself, and then it will be up to you who still says that this is metaphysics.At this time, he suddenly remembered that something more metaphysical had happened to him today, so mysterious that even he couldn't believe it.Old John solemnly left him a music box, asking him to get closer and listen carefully, but the music box actually stretched out a mechanical arm unreasonably and stabbed him, making him unconscious for a day and a night, and then today a dull female voice sounded in his ears from time to time, saying something into his central nervous system for a while, and what brainwave communication for a while.Is this the real metaphysics?
