Li Xiang stood in the room, feeling the steam break through his body. The steam was mixed with Origin Substances, and when it entered his body, he felt as if he had been electrocuted. All the cells in his body seemed to have been activated, and he seemed to see a few lines of different colors spreading through his body, stretching out, appearing and disappearing.
Just as Rocca had said, the higher the grade of the Magic Circuit, the easier it was to sense it.
The coolness surging through his limbs was the strongest, and at the same time, the accompanying pain was even more intense. The red lines were incomparably clear. This was his only S-grade Magic Circuit.
Next was the yellow Magic Circuit, A-grade. The light yellow lines covering his internal organs were not as clear as the ones on his limbs, and the blue lines engraved on his bones were even fainter. Finally, the orange lines on his facial features were the faintest. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to be distinguished at all.
Li Xiang endured the changes in his body as he quietly counted down. Five minutes had passed. Based on the time spent in Class 2's trainees, they wouldn't be able to stay in the Origin Substance decomposition room for more than ten minutes.
After sensing all four Magic Circuits he had awakened, Li Xiang quickly tried to communicate with the red lines on his limbs. Now that he had the Origin Substance, he could clearly sense the Magic Circuits on his limbs, including the magic particles swimming on them.
Rocca didn't say anything about how to make a Magic Circuit enter the state of "knowing", nor did he mention anything about cultivating Magic Circuits.
It seemed that this kind of cultivation could only be sensed and not explained.
He could only use all the methods he could think of in an attempt to awaken the Magic Circuits that seemed to still be in a deep sleep. Since the four limbs had the highest grade of Talent, in order to reach the state of "knowing" as soon as possible in ten days, he would focus on conquering this Magic Circuit.
Time flew by. Li Xiang's attempts all ended in failure. He always felt that he was missing something. Every time it seemed like he was about to succeed, his perception would rapidly decline, and then he would have to start all over again.
What he didn't know was that the first day of absorption was actually just to allow them to sense the magic circuits in their bodies. The first time a human body absorbed Origin Substance, the effects were very poor. Only after a few days of adaptation could they slowly use it. Being able to reach this point was already very impressive.
Li Xiang took a deep breath and kept thinking about the reason for his failure. While he was thinking, he subconsciously placed his hand on the huge metal pipe in front of him.
Old Origin Substance Decomposing Machine. Durability: 69%.
The sudden appearance of a small line of steam text gave him a fright, and the grayish-white scale bar below also jumped.
Origin Substance: 1%
Just by touching the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine, he was able to increase his liquefied Origin Substance by 0.4%?
It seemed that increasing the amount of Origin Substance was related to how advanced the machinery was.
"Back then, I unintentionally used the liquefied Origin Substance inside on Sister Shanshan's steam gun. Not only did it allow her to use the machinery that only she could use, but it also increased the power of the steam gun. In that case, can I try to use Origin Substances to increase the durability of this Origin Substance Decomposing Machine? "
But didn't durability refer to the length of time it could be used normally? Shouldn't he be trying to increase the value of efficiency instead?
Seeing that the time was almost up, he had no choice but to try to activate the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine first.
Li Xiang thought back to the feeling of holding the steam gun. A few seconds later, the white spinning gears once again appeared in his eyes, and the amount of liquefied Origin Substance on the grayish-white scale bar decreased slightly.
Origin Substance: 0.9%.
In that instant, the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine outside suddenly began to operate at high speed. The loud noise from the mechanical parts attracted Rocca and Han Shi, who weren't too far away.
"This thing shouldn't have fallen into disrepair after so long, right? Why is it so loud? " Han Shi looked at the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine that was making strange noises and asked in confusion, "You're an expert in this area. Hurry up and take a look!"
Rocca shook his head. "There are still trainees inside using it. If we rashly touch the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine, it might cause him immeasurable damage. From the sound of it, it seems that there isn't enough lubricant between the parts. When he comes out, I'll open it up and take a look."
The Origin Substance Decomposing Machine's strange movements didn't last for too long. It quickly returned to normal, and ten minutes of sensing time passed. An ear-piercing bell rang out, and the steam coming out of every Origin Substance Decomposing Machine stopped.
The metal doors opened one by one, and the trainees, who were about to collapse, walked out with great difficulty. However, their faces were all flushed, and they were all very excited.
Han Shi yelled for them to quickly line up. When Li Xiang walked out of the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine, his entire body felt like it was floating. When the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine suddenly increased its power output, he was almost swallowed up by the large amount of steam.
The effects were obvious. At the last moment, more than half of the red patterns on his four limbs had lit up. This way, he would be able to fully understand the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine by tomorrow.
After Li Xiang and the others left, Rocca walked over to the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine and fiddled with it for a while. He said suspiciously, "Strange, the machine doesn't seem to have any problems. Could it be that there really isn't enough lubricant?"
On the other side, Kuang Tie, who was at the head of the line, had a vigorous aura. He didn't seem to be affected too much. Chen Fan, who was behind him, lay on his shoulder like a dead dog. It seemed that he had suffered quite a bit.
When they saw that the trainees from the first class were also in such a weak state, the trainees in the back were both nervous and expectant.
There was still half an hour or so left before Han Shi canceled their daily training. He had experienced the pain of absorbing Origin Substances on the first day. He waved his hand and allowed them to go eat in the cafeteria.
After eating dinner, most of the trainees collapsed onto their beds. Chen Fan, who was always jumping around, didn't say anything. He hugged his pillow and fell asleep.
The pain of absorbing Origin Substance for the first time had only just begun. It was as if a switch had been turned on in their bodies, making them incredibly weak. Even the slightest touch would cause them intense pain.
They lay on their beds, not moving at all. As soon as they began to feel sleepy, the pain would follow. Li Xiang, who had absorbed most of the Origin Substance, was in an even worse state. The pain was many times worse than theirs.
After lying there for half an hour, they had no choice but to get up and run to the academic building for their cultural class.
The cultural class in the evening was not a magic circuit class. The teacher was still Rocca, but the mercenaries behind him carried black boxes into the classroom one by one. Then, each of them placed a black box next to them, and another one was placed on the podium.
"Congratulations to everyone for absorbing Origin Substance for the first time today. I hope that in the next ten days, all of you will be able to fully understand the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine. Tonight, I will be teaching a new class, which is also my old profession at the University of Steam Technology: Steam Technology, "Rocca said with a slight smile as he clapped his hands.
"As everyone knows, steam technology is the most important technology in our civilization. It is indispensable in daily life and in battle. Transportation, weapons, equipment, and daily necessities can be found everywhere. Our steam machines usually use a combination of steam and mechanical parts as the driving force. Some special ones, such as the Origin Substance Decomposing Machine you saw this afternoon, even have Origin Substances as driving force. "
Rocca flipped the black box on the lectern over with one hand, then opened it. With a click, the item inside was revealed.
It was a small, intricately constructed metal workbench. The style was complicated, and a bright steam lamp rose from the corner of the workbench, illuminating the entire workbench.
The metal workbench was covered with all kinds of fine lines, and many small tools that Li Xiang had never seen before were inserted into it.
"There are two requirements to learn this technology. First, you have to be proficient in theoretical knowledge. The textbook that comes with it is an introduction to steam technology. Go back and memorize it in three days. Second, you have to be proficient in practical techniques, including drawing blueprints, manufacturing, and maintenance. This workbench is the newest model of mechanical structure experiment bench. Only the descendants of steam technology majors who enter an outstanding university will be given one. It is worth a million Blue Star Coins. "
This thing actually cost a million! Li Xiang was dumbfounded. Many of the trainees below the stage also sighed. Only a few people with good family backgrounds were extremely calm.
The importance of steam technology was self-evident. Even if one became a player in the future, it would be difficult to separate oneself from these mechanical devices. A good set of steam machine equipment was definitely one of the highest pursuits of every player.
"Due to the special nature of Polar Night, our course will not involve too much content. What we need to master in this month is only the analysis and identification of blueprints, the understanding of the structure and use of steam mechanical weapons, and the preliminary maintenance of steam mechanical weapons. I hope that through this class, you will have the most basic concept of weapons, as well as know how to use and maintain them. This is an important skill that can save your life on the battlefield. I hope that everyone will focus on learning. "
After saying all this, Rocca quickly began the class. He started from the most basic theory, and at the same time, he explained the mechanical construction bench, including the use and function of the various tools on it.
This was also Li Xiang's old profession, and at the same time, it was what he was most interested in. Therefore, he listened very carefully. With his previous knowledge, he understood very quickly. His talent in steam technology was immediately noticed by Rocca.
Rocca himself had a background in steam technology. After smelling a similar aura from Li Xiang, he felt very gratified and often took the time to answer his doubts. In the eyes of the other trainees, Li Xiang's talent in machinery and steam technology was in a completely different dimension from theirs.
"Everyone, this is a gun powered by Elementium Gas. Normal steam guns are very common everywhere, but these guns are the real killing machines on the battlefield." Rocca took out a well-made gun from a black box. Exquisite and complicated patterns were engraved on it. It looked magnificent and gorgeous, like a work of art.
Li Xiang noticed that there was a Dong Ling family imprint on the inner wall of the gun.
"This is an Elementium gun produced by Dong Ling Heavy Industries. The difference between it and the Bai Heavy Industries is that the Dong Ling Heavy Industries' products are more gorgeous and cool. Furthermore, the Elementium standard tube is placed inside the gun, while the Bai Heavy Industries' products are more simple and plain, with the standard tube placed outside."
