"Since all of you have special professions, it is difficult to categorize you into different categories. We have no choice but to invite the relevant master to preside over this assessment. The specific assessment method will be determined by the master. Please hand over the list of raw materials you will need to your guide. However, please note that the rarity of the raw materials you use will also affect your results. Haha, but don't worry too much. Even if you do not pass, you will still stay in Nine Gates. I believe you all have some understanding of Nine Gates. Unlike the chaos of the Orbits, this place is peaceful and peaceful, like heaven. "
Ye Chong's sharp eyes caught a few of the people around him looking at him with disdain.
The old man ignored them and continued, "Then I will assign you to the masters in charge of the assessment."
The one in charge of Ye Chong was Master Xiao. Master Xiao had a fat head and big ears. His bright red nose was very conspicuous. His eyes squinted into slits from time to time. He looked cheerful and friendly.
He studied Ye Chong carefully, "Haha, I did not expect you to be the skeleton carver. Not bad, not bad. You have achieved so much at such a young age. Your future is limitless. "
"Thank you for your compliment," Ye Chong replied calmly, without any hint of excitement.
Master Xiao's squinted eyes flashed with a hint of appreciation, "What's more, you are not arrogant at such a young age. Good, good, good!"
Ye Chong was still unmoved. He asked, "What is the content of my assessment?" Ye Chong was more interested in this topic.
"Young man, don't be hasty!" Master Xiao laughed and said, "I have thought about this question for a long time, but after thinking about it for a long time, I finally thought of a question that should be quite good!"
"Oh," Ye Chong replied and waited for Master Xiao to reveal the topic.
"Hmm, it is also my first time seeing skeleton parts. I have carefully tested your creations. Not bad. Hmm, I should say not bad. Excellent in all aspects! However, skeletons still have many natural flaws that are difficult to remedy. For example, the performance will drop drastically in high temperature environments, "Master Xiao explained.
Ye Chong nodded in agreement. Master Xiao was right. Skeletons were naturally inferior to metals in this aspect.
Master Xiao was still smiling, "And in a mech, the most important part other than the photon processor is the engine. Of course, the photon processor cannot be made of skeletons, but the engine seems to be a possibility. However, I don't know if it's possible. You'll have to solve it for me. Hehe, don't look at me. It's normal that I don't know. After all, I don't know as much about skeletons as you do! Hmm, this is your test, which is to build a mech engine using skeletons. I don't care about the model, as long as it's a mech engine. Of course, you can use other materials as well, but remember, the more skeletons make up the entire mech engine, the higher your chance of passing the Level 4 Trial! "
Ye Chong was taken aback. Using skeletons to build mech engines? Seriously?
Seeing Ye Chong's questioning gaze, Master Xiao chuckled, "You heard it right, it's to build a mech's engine using skeletons! Alright, I've already told you the exam question. You have three months to think about it and make it. Just now, Master Fan also said that if you need any materials, you can tell your guide. Well, this is my pass number. If you have any questions or have completed your task, you can contact me through this pass number. Hehe, I'm really looking forward to having an engine made of skeletons. Young man, keep it up! "
Watching Ye Chong keying his pass number into the pass wristband, Master Xiao said, "Alright, you can go now. Hehe, I'll be leaving too. I still have many things to do! “
After bidding farewell to Master Xiao, Ye Chong walked out of the room. On his way back, he met quite a number of applicants he had met before. However, judging from the frown on their faces, it was obvious that their exam questions were also quite difficult.
On his way back to his residence, Ye Chong was pondering on how to build a mech engine using skeletons.
Skeletons were the bones of animals. Even if they were mutated creatures, they were strong and resilient. However, in terms of heat resistance, skeletons were far inferior to metals. This was also why Ye Chong never thought of using skeletons to build a mech engine. To him, this was the nature of skeletons. It was almost impossible to build a mech engine using skeletons. The engine of his so-called full-skeleton mech, Han Jia, was actually the broken Yu Di's engine. Among all the skeletons he had made so far, the only one that was more mature for engines was the spacer.
However, now that the problem was right in front of him, he had no other choice. There was no time to think about whether the problem could be solved. He had to think about how to solve it.
"Mu, do you think it's possible?" Ye Chong asked Mu. After thinking for a long time, he still got a discouraging answer. Skeletons could not be used to build an engine.
"Of course it's possible. It's just a matter of how likely it is!" Mu said seriously.
Ye Chong felt like a deflated balloon. "You're talking nonsense!"
"To a certain extent, yes. However, Ye, this is the only answer to your question. Honesty should be praised!" Mu said sternly.
Ye Chong sweated. Was this still Mu? Ye Chong could smell a hint of death in him.
"Seems like I have to solve this problem myself," Ye Chong thought. It was not his style to back down in the face of difficulties. Moreover, Master Xiao had also said that they could use other materials. This was no different from a compromise.
However, was it really impossible to build a mech engine with skeletons?
Ye Chong had been thinking about this problem every day. He would sit there for the whole day, motionless like a statue.
Ye Chong rubbed his thighs that were aching a little, stood up and stretched. It was already the 10th day, and he still could not come up with a satisfactory solution. However, Ye Chong had come up with quite a number of compromises. For example, he could still use the metal core and only use skeletons for the less important parts. If he still could not come up with a good solution in the end, then he would have to go with this one.
Ye Chong stretched his limbs and walked to the table. He picked up the self-cleaning cup on the table and brought it to his mouth.
He saw the reflection of himself in the cup, his brows furrowed, looking haggard.
Suddenly, an idea flashed across Ye Chong's mind like a meteor. Water … Water … Water … Ye Chong vaguely grasped something … What kind of water was it? Ah … Alchemy fluid!
That's right! Alchemy fluid could be used to change the properties of skeletons. Didn't he use those strengthening fluids in the past to change the properties of skeletons? If he could use an alchemy fluid that could greatly improve the high temperature properties of skeletons, then the problem would be solved!
Ye Chong was overjoyed. He drank the water in the cup in one gulp.
Ye Chong had been pondering over the problem for the past 10 days, but now he finally had a clue. How could he not be excited?
However, Ye Chong soon calmed down from his excitement. While it was an idea, it would be a difficult process to make it happen. Besides, other than this idea, Ye Chong was at a loss. He had no idea what to do.
He might have learned alchemy from Lunatic Guan, but he was only a beginner. The strengthening fluids Lunatic Guan gave him were all for improving the hardness and toughness of skeletons. There was no strengthening fluid that could improve the high temperature properties of skeletons. For a beginner alchemist like Ye Chong to discover a new strengthening fluid that could improve the high temperature properties of skeletons in such a short period of time, it would be impossible!
Ye Chong recalled all the alchemy knowledge he had learned, but there was no progress.
Helpless, Ye Chong could only ask Mu, "Mu, do you have any good ideas?"
Mu pondered, "Ye, your idea is not bad. But you know, I don't have much information on alchemy. But there is one thing we can try!"
"What is it?" Ye Chong asked eagerly, like a pedestrian walking in the dark who suddenly saw a ray of light. Based on his past experience, whatever Mu said could be tried, it meant that the idea was highly feasible.
"Remember the Guan Family's automatic analysis mechanism that Lunatic Guan gave you? You can try that! "Mu reminded Ye Chong.
Ye Chong's eyes brightened, "Ah, how could I forget about that? Sigh, Mu, isn't that thing already in your database? “
It's in my database. But until now, I have not been able to analyze the core of this automatic analysis mechanism, which is the core law of alchemy. Because my database on alchemy is too little, I can't perform an effective analysis! And I can't judge its accuracy! "Mu explained.
"That good?" Ye Chong was shocked. If even Mu could not analyze it, then Lunatic Guan's so-called automatic analysis mechanism must be of a very high level! Up until now, the only thing Mu hadn't analyzed was Guardian. He didn't expect that there would be another one.
Sigh, there are so many geniuses in this world. Be it Gu Shaoze or Lunatic Guan, they both looked like they were not much older than me, but they had already developed their own field, and even created their own innovations on the basis of their predecessors! It was a pity that both of them did not have a good fate. Gu Shaoze was dead, and Lunatic Guan disappeared in search of her sister. Could it be that even the heavens were jealous of them?
Ye Chong fell into a trance as he pondered.
"Ye!" Mu noticed that Ye Chong was lost in thought, and called out.
"Oh!" Ye Chong snapped back to reality and laughed to himself. Why am I thinking so much? I'm just an ordinary person, it's good enough that I can survive! Now, what Ye Chong wanted most was to cure the strange disease and find a quiet place where no one knew him and live a peaceful life! However, it seemed that it would not be easy to achieve this goal!
"Want to try?" Mu asked.
Ye Chong calmed himself down and exhaled, "Let's try!"
