As Gandaph turned to leave, Lin Yun looked at the two with a beaming smile. He had originally planned to recruit a few alchemists to work with his subordinates to create a true magic battleship. Naturally, his target was the lowest grade magic battleship.
But he hadn't expected to meet two famous people after coming here, and both of them had a pivotal role in the development of magic battleships.
The red-skinned Pinocchio was the founder of many profound alchemy theories. Many of the core technologies used in magic battleships were derived from Pinocchio's theories.
As for Fantasia, he was even more ruthless. That guy's craziest record was building a hundred-meter-long battleship by himself that could display the power of a Heaven Rank Magic Battleship. That battleship could display power comparable to a Peak Heaven Rank powerhouse, and it would be easy for one person to flatten a plane while driving a battleship.
Moreover, the first true magic battleship was made by the two of them two millennia later. Although the power of that magic battleship was at most comparable to a High Mage …
This was all because these two were pure alchemists. They were the kind of alchemists that wouldn't use alchemy for the sake of purple golds. They still had the support of the Starry Sky College, but the Starry Sky College had been destroyed during the disaster. The resources needed to rebuild the Starry Sky College weren't enough, so how could there be resources for these two guys to squander?
Thus, the two of them became the oddities among Artisans, the paupers among Artisans. Pinocchio was good at theoretical research, but for the next millennium, he was a laughing stock. Especially after losing the support of the Starry Sky College, he became a dreamer.
Fantasia could casually earn a large amount of purple golds, but that guy was very picky. He was only willing to use good materials, but after getting the materials, he would start his own experiments. After his character was ruined, no one looked for him.
Both of them were in dire straits, and it was only when Starry Sky Academy rose again that their days became a little better. Calculating the time, it should have been the time when they started to be criticized by others. They had spent a lot of resources, but there were no results...
The Artisans of the Starry Sky College, the Vice-Deans, and one of the three deans were already somewhat dissatisfied with them. After all, the Starry Sky College wasn't a charity of the church, and the resources those two had squandered were a huge amount of wealth.
This time, Gandalf brought him here with the idea of sending Pinocchio and Fantasia away as soon as possible …
But the Starry Sky College was known as the Holy Land of Alchemy, and peak Artisans like Pinocchio and Fantraci had to be supported no matter what they researched. As long as they stayed in the Starry Sky College, whatever they researched would have the Starry Sky College's reputation, and any results would have a share of the Starry Sky College.
No one knew if something valuable could be researched in alchemy research. A large amount of resources would be spent, but the results wouldn't have much value. This kind of thing was too common. It was normal to start a certain research, but after spending a lot of manpower and resources, they still ended up with nothing.
Countless alchemy results, whether it was in alchemy theory or some alchemy techniques, they all consumed countless resources and countless people spent countless hours. At least 30% of alchemy theories or alchemy results were inadvertently discovered during that time.
But alchemists like Pinocchio and Fantraci were very rare. They had eccentric temperaments and were only willing to research advanced theories. They didn't care that the advanced theories couldn't bring them any benefits for the time being, as well as Fantraci, who swindled the materials and carried out his own alchemy experiments.
The most important reason these two hadn't been killed after the Starry Sky College's disaster was because they weren't weak, and they were peak Artisans.
Without enough hatred and certainty, no one would be willing to provoke these two lunatics, they would only reject them.
Lin Yun squinted as he looked at the two strange old men before him, feeling very satisfied. With these two guys in charge of the magic battleship research and manufacturing, he wouldn't have to worry too much. One was good at transforming theories into results, while the other was good at conducting in-depth research. No wonder these two guys could burst out with unimaginable power when they cooperated.
But the most important thing at the moment was how to rope these two guys into the Gilded Rose.
"Kid, what are you looking at? Hurry up and f * ck off, don't waste our time here!"
"Yeah, don't think that we will give you face just because you are a relative of that old b * stard Gandaph. I'll give you five seconds, don't blame me for being rude if you don't leave …"
A sneer could be seen on Pino Cao's chubby face. Mana fluctuations were already being emitted from his body. The mana fluctuations were like a tide rushing towards Lin Yun, seemingly ready to push him away.
Fantraci's eyes were wide open as he glared at Pinocchio, sneering with dissatisfaction.
"Old thing, do you think you are the only 5th Rank Heaven powerhouse!"
After saying that, Fantraci followed up with his own aura. His mana fluctuations transformed into invisible hands that pushed Lin Yun's body, wanting to push Lin Yun away first.
Lin Yun inwardly sighed, 'These two old b * stards are fighting over this kind of thing. No wonder they only developed the first version of the magic battleship after two millennia.
'5th Rank Heaven powerhouses, they already have the power of a 5th Rank Heaven powerhouse. With their alchemy research, their rank might keep increasing in the future. No wonder these two old b * stards would be hated like street rats, yet they still haven't been killed.'
Lin Yun stood there motionlessly. Pinocchio and Fantraci wanted to push Lin Yun out of the laboratory first. The two glared at each other, gnashing their teeth as if they were enemies. Unfortunately, after a dozen seconds, the two suddenly froze and turned to look at Lin Yun. Lin Yun was standing there with a smile, motionless. The aura the two emitted couldn't shake Lin Yun's body.
Seeing that the aura didn't work, Pinocchio and Fantraci ignored Lin Yun. Using aura to drive him out was fine, but if they dared to make a move and drive Lin Yun out, they would be slapping Gandaph's face. They had been in the Starry Sky College for a long time and had a specialized alchemy laboratory, the best alchemy laboratory. They had spent countless resources but hadn't managed to research anything.
There were people in the Starry Sky College who were dissatisfied with them. They also knew that if they dared to drive out Gandaph's people, they wouldn't be able to stay in the Starry Sky College anymore.
Last time, one of the three deans proposed cutting off their supply of resources, but Gandaph vetoed that proposal. These two old b * stards at least knew how to differentiate good from bad.
Seeing that there was no other way, Pinocchio coldly snorted. His fierce face shook and his small eyes shone as he turned towards the crystal table.
As for Fantraci, his sunken eye sockets were looking at Lin Yun like an Undead. He glanced at Lin Yun before resentfully turning to leave, treating Lin Yun as if he didn't exist.
The two returned to the crystal table and a large number of runes roamed around as the two resumed their previous quarrel.
Lin Yun was minding his own business as he watched the two quarrel.
"As long as the basic material is replaced with Abyssal Magic Iron, the defensive ability of the steel battleship would increase by at least ten times. The ultimate goal of manufacturing steel battleships is to obtain more powerful battleships. Blindly saving on materials is meaningless. Developing new technology and researching new materials is the real solution, not using existing cheap materials as a foundation for research."
Lin Yun's words stopped the two quarreling. Pinocchio was overjoyed and burst into loud laughter.
"Not bad, not bad, kid, you have good insight. Technology is developing, researching advanced theories and advanced technology is the only path to the Gate of Truth!"
Pinocchio was happy, but Fantraci's expression was ugly as if he had molested his daughter. He glared at Lin Yun with red eyes.
"Bullshit! What do you know? The only way to manufacture a steel battleship is to use Abyssal Magic Iron. Do you know how much Abyssal Magic Iron is needed? "At least five thousand tons of refined Abyssal Magic Iron are needed as raw materials, and the demand for other materials is even greater. If we use all the materials that meet the requirements, we would need at least a few billion purple golds to manufacture a steel battleship. It wouldn't even be useful if its power didn't reach the Heaven Rank …"
Lin Yun faintly smiled.
"Oh, five thousand tons of Abyssal Magic Iron … It looks like Sir Fantraci doesn't know much about the Gilded Rose. The Gilded Rose's warehouse is piled with refined Abyssal Magic Iron for the foundation. I thought it would be fifty million tons. Fifty million tons might be a bit difficult.
"As for the material you mentioned, let's take a look at this material. This is a special steel researched by the Gilded Rose, it's used to make puppets' weapon systems …"
Fantraci had a skeptical expression. Five thousand tons of refined Abyssal Magic Iron? Who was he trying to fool? In all of Noscent, the amount of Abyssal Magic Iron that could be traded every year was less than five thousand tons.
He didn't know that there was no Abyssal Magic Iron ore in Lin Yun's Demiplane, because the ore took up too much space. All the Abyssal Magic Iron was refined to the extreme, but even so, how could it be used to build the foundation of Neverwinter City?
Fantraci didn't care about the Abyssal Magic Iron, his attention was already attracted by the piece of steel covered in black patterns that Lin Yun took out. The surface of that piece of metal almost didn't reflect any light, and the black patterns on it looked like fine water stains.
Fantasia picked up the piece of metal with a surprised expression. After holding it in his hand, his expression changed. He then rushed to the side of an alchemy machine without looking back and used the alchemy machine to rapidly do a lot of tests, letting out a strange shout as he did so.
"Damn, the hardness is over sixty times that of ordinary grinding iron! The mana transmission speed is 189 times, and the mana capacity is over 800 … Over 800 times …
"With this thing, the power of a steel battleship can be increased by at least thirty times …"
Fantraci mumbled for a while before suddenly turning his head and sneering at Lin Yun.
"Kid, I was almost fooled by you. This is a new material from an alchemy experiment, right? Using this kind of laboratory material to trick me, you …"
Fantraci didn't get to finish his sentence before he couldn't continue.
Lin Yun waved his hand and a small mountain of metal rumbled on the ground. It was made of that kind of black patterned steel. Every piece was the same size and looked exactly the same. These were clearly mass-produced products, they weren't experimental materials that had been produced with great effort.
Fantraci had a complicated expression as he looked at the pile of materials on the ground. He didn't say anything for a long time.
"Sir Fantraci, with these materials, can you take out the best research design? Isn't it going to take a very long time to display the ability of these materials? How long would it take to use these materials to change the design of the steel battleship?
Maybe a few months would be enough, but after a few months, if I took out a new material, would you overturn all the previous conclusions and start all over again? "
Fantraci remained silent with a sour expression. The facts were there, and what Lin Yun said was the truth. If that was the case, it would definitely be an endless research that wouldn't produce any results.
On the side, Pinocchio was beaming with joy as he looked at Fantraci being deflated. He kept grinning and ridiculing Fantraci.
"Idiot, now you know that the path you are taking is wrong. Start researching advanced theories and technology like me, that is the truth …"
Pinocchio's small eyes narrowed into a slit as he grinned and moved to Fantraci's side. He didn't care about Fantraci's dark face as he kept muttering.
Just as Pinocchio was feeling smug, Lin Yun immediately started to pour cold water on him.
"Sir Pinocchio, what do you think about changing the core power parameters to a double-layer chain reaction magic reactor, and then matching it with the energy channel composed of these new materials?"
Hearing Lin Yun burst out more than a dozen data, Pinocchio was still feeling smug, and started to criticize him without thinking.
"Even if there are new materials, it can't be better than the research. I'm researching the future trend of the power system of the floating battleship. If the parameters of the core magic reactor are changed to a double-layer chain reaction one, let me do some calculations. Hmm, the output of mana will be increased by 29 times …"
Pinocchio proudly displayed his computing ability. As long as there was a parameter, he could get the corresponding change result almost instantly. However, as he spoke, Pinocchio's expression started to change.
On the side, Fantraci looked at Pinocchio with pity, as if he was looking at an idiot.
Idiot, I've already given you the core parameters, yet this idiot still can't figure out such a simple problem. Replacing it with a new material, according to the parameters of the new material, the perfect theory and the perfect design that we've researched previously are all bullsh * t …
'Could this youth be Gandaph's illegitimate child? That's not right. Gandalf doesn't seem to have a deep understanding of our research. He doesn't specialize in this area either. Who is it? Where did this young man get these materials? Where did he get these core parameters?
'Sh * t, that guy is doing this on purpose. He first poured cold water on me, and then poured cold water on that idiot Pinocchio. What is he trying to do?
Fantraci already realized that there was a problem, and the more Pinocchio calculated, the more unsightly his expression became. He then crazily rushed to the crystal table and pulled three alchemy machines from the side. After fiddling with them for a dozen minutes, Pinocchio looked at the result with a dejected expression.
"Sh * t, how could this be? Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could my research be wrong? I don't know how many times I calculated, I don't know how many times I deduced … "
Fantraci had a dark expression as he looked at Pinocchio. It was rare that he didn't ridicule him, but rather stared at Lin Yun, as if there was a large amount of precious data written on Lin Yun's face.
Lin Yun squinted as he looked at Pinocchio. He could see that Pinocchio had already finished his calculations. Giving Fantraci a blow was too easy, he just needed to take out a new material.
And the best way to deal a blow to Pinocchio was to make him overturn his own research. That way, there would be a possibility of continuing the discussion. He would have to go through extraordinary theoretical research and advanced technology research. Strictly speaking, there wouldn't be any correct results. Without a hundred percent verification, anyone could say that their own research and theory were correct.
"Sir Pinocchio, did you discover something? Your advanced theoretical research and technology research have deviated from their roots, just like a tree that has lost its roots. Your research direction itself is wrong, but it isn't because of your ability. Research without stepping on the current foundation is useless. The most important thing is that the direction might have been wrong from the start …"
Pinocchio remained silent with a dark expression. According to the material parameters given by Lin Yun, the steel warship design he was most proud of was trash according to the current parameters. After meeting the requirements of the materials and technology, that design would be 50% weaker than the most suitable design.
Let alone 50%, a steel warship designed with the same technology and materials would be considered a complete failure if there was a power difference of more than 2%.
50% only meant that the previous research was completely wrong.
Fantraci and Pinocchio stopped quarreling at this time. They looked at Lin Yun with a dark expression.
"Do the two of you need anything else?"
Lin Yun said lightly, and the two stopped talking. They had completely lost interest in continuing their previous research.
"Mafa Merlin, right? Just tell us the truth. What do you want from us?"
Fantraci looked at Lin Yun with vigilance. Pinocchio also seemed to realize that Lin Yun came to find them.
