"Practice here?"
Angel looked around, at the empty hall and the stone pillars. Finally, his eyes fixed on Benbo, with a flash of doubt in his eyes.
Although Benbo can handle the smelting, will he not be given any other experimental facilities?
If it were in the past, Angel would not care about the experimental equipment, but this time it was the refining of Olha steel. Even if it did not involve real "alchemy", it was still a great opportunity for observation.
It would definitely be best if there were experimental equipment to match it.
"Are you looking for the forge? Here it is."
Angel followed Benber's gaze and saw a mini bubble slowly floating out of the flames of the altar.
After leaving the altar, Bubble began to grow wildly like a wild horse.
In just a blink of an eye, it turned into a suspended bubble that was ten meters long and wide.
Angel was very familiar with this kind of bubble. The embryo factory was full of similar bubble workshops. Although the length and width of the bubble were only ten meters, the space inside was definitely not small.
While Angel was thinking, Benber had already flapped his wings and opened the door of the bubble.
Through the open door, he was not surprised to see a large workshop that could accommodate hundreds of people.
The style of the workshop is exactly the same as the Bubble Workshop in the outside world, and it has not been modified. It should be a standard workshop produced by Piruxiu.
"Sir, please."
Angel didn't hesitate and stepped directly into the workshop.
Benbo followed immediately.
What caught Angel's attention was that there was a deep flame flickering under Benber's dark pupils...
He had previously thought that the Phantom Flame was part of the altar, but it turned out to be a part of Benber?
Angel subconsciously looked outside the door, but saw the ghost fire still burning on the altar outside, which made Angel look confused.
Huh? It seems that the Spectral Flame is not a part of Bumble, but more like Bumble is on fire?
Perhaps noticing Angel's gaze, Benber flapped his black wings and laughed strangely: "I borrowed this flame from my main body. Only it can melt Olha steel."
Angel looked at the blazing flames, a sense of inquiry arose in his heart.
"This flame has the properties of a living thing, and can sense external prying eyes, so you'd better not stare at it too much, and don't use your mental power to probe it. Otherwise, it might be angered."
When Benbo said this, he felt a little strange, as if he recalled some bad memories.
"If the original body is here, I can control it at will, but I can't..." Ben Bo sighed, "This guy is incredibly stupid. He only recognizes the original body."
It was clearly the time incarnation of the original body, but the ghost flame could not recognize it.
"I can live in harmony with it now, all because of the original body's orders. However, its memory only lasts for ten hours. After ten hours, it will forget the original body's orders. If it sees me carrying it, it will probably burn me together with it."
Listening to Benber's complaints, Angor was silent for a moment and replied: "It sounds...very unique."
"I just think it's as stupid as a pig. Even if I write a script, I can't write such a stupid character. Just like now, I am scolding it, and it doesn't know..."
Benbo deeply suspected that the ability of this ghost flame was all focused on smelting. It clearly had the characteristics of a living creature, but it had no intelligence at all.
Angel looked at the still tumbling ghost flame curiously: "So, it is a fire elemental creature?"
Benbo waved his wings and said, "No, it is different from the elemental creatures you know. It was born from the original body. You can think of it as the companion element of the original body."
Just like a fog dragon, there will be a faint mist floating around it when it is born. This mist is the companion element of the fog dragon.
"I don't know why the main body is accompanied by flames when it is clearly a treasure dragon. Perhaps this flame is not associated with the main body at all, but with the talent of 'Phantom Metal'."
"After all, only this kind of flame can melt Olha steel effortlessly."
After complaining, Benbo asked, "Are you going to smelt it now? If so, I will wake it up... Although it is not dormant, it will be extremely inert if it is not stimulated by the outside world."
Angel thought about it and shook his head: "Don't rush, I'll study Olha Steel first."
"That's fine." Benbo: "But let me make it clear first, don't ask me about the question of Olha Steel."
"what?"
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, but the main body has imposed restrictions a long time ago and does not allow us to disclose information about Olha Steel."
"The main body is willing to give Olha Steel to others for research. What we want is for them to use their unique perspectives and thinking to expand the possibilities of Olha Steel."
"If we tell you in advance, your thinking will most likely be restricted, which is something the entity does not want to see."
Algarron's talent of "Fantasy Metal" was developed and expanded entirely by itself, unlike Arcane Dragon's talent of "Book of Time", which had Laplace's careful guidance.
Therefore, Algaron's talent development was not high, and the development level might not even reach one tenth or one twelfth. Sometimes, some strange properties of Olha Steel appeared during forging, and even Algaron was completely confused.
In this situation, Algalon really needs to pool wisdom to help it expand its thinking so that it can study Olha Steel more deeply. This is the main reason why it is unwilling to share more information with others.
Of course, there are some minor reasons as well. For example, Algaron likes to see those who claim to be masters come to study Olha Steel but get nothing out of it.
It not only makes people laugh at others, but also highlights the strength of Olha Steel.
Ingres roughly understood Algarron's ideas, but he personally still believed that it was best to do research by standing on the shoulders of giants.
If nothing is said, then what we have researched with so much effort will be the same as what Algarron has already researched, then wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
Benbo: "You are right, but how could the main body not understand this? It is willing to hand over the Olha steel to outsiders for research, so is it afraid of wasting it?"
"Moreover, Olha steel is different from other materials. Its special properties allow it to withstand various studies."
In the memories shared by the original body, Benbo had seen many forging masters from various worlds, scholars of great talent, and even witches pursuing the truth, gods born from evil fire, and demons with awakened supernatural powers... They had all studied Olha steel.
These researchers have different perspectives on things, different experiences, different abilities and talents, so the Olha steel they researched also presents completely different results.
And these results eventually became the nourishment for the research on Olha steel.
"Everyone's research results are different?" Angel was also a little surprised. How could the same material have so many different research results?
"Yes, this is the fundamental difference between Olha steel and other materials, so you can study it with confidence." Ben Bo: "Even if it really goes the same way, it doesn't matter, the main body doesn't care."
"But then again, instead of worrying about your research repeating the same path as others, you should worry more about not finding anything at all." Benbo laughed evilly.
In its memory, many people studied Olha steel, but less than one percent of them produced any results.
Of course, Benbo still believed that Angle would be able to achieve results. After all, according to what he knew, Angle had created more than one or two miracles...
"There are observation instruments on the lab table over there, go ahead." Benbo: "I'm just outside, you can always find me if you encounter any problems."
As long as it does not involve the "Olha Steel" intelligence issue that Benber knows, it will be happy to help.
Angel nodded and walked to the experimental table.
Carefully and slowly opened the box with "Top Secret" written on it.
A light breeze blew by.
Angel's eyes were dazed for a moment, and he could faintly smell a sour and rotten smell, but this smell was soon covered by the rich smell of spices.
Ingres was familiar with this smell. It was... the smell of ink.
Iron gall ink to be exact.
A type of ink commonly used by the public that he has been exposed to since he was a child.
This is a kind of ink made from oak galls, green vitriol, and gum, which has a distinct sour and rancid smell. In order to avoid the smell of ink, some nobles and scholars would add spices such as cloves to the ink.
This is also the source of the fragrance that Ingres smelled just now.
But why does the box smell like ink? Didn't Benber say that it was filled with Olha steel?
Ingres looked at it with doubt.
The metal box was covered with soft blue velvet cloth, and in the center of the cloth was a black pen holder.
It looks like the barrel of a fountain pen.
But it only has the appearance of a fountain pen, but in reality it is completely unusable and has no cap. It is just a model pen.
From the appearance, Ingres did not find anything unusual for the time being, but he was very confused as to why Olha steel had the shape of a fountain pen?
Naples once said that the appearance of Olha steel is not fixed. Sometimes it looks like a normal metal mineral, and sometimes it looks like a light feather. It has no fixed shape. It all depends on Algarron's current mood and inclination.
So, since this Olha steel has the appearance of a "fountain pen", does it mean that when Algarron was created, it tended to become the shape of a pen holder, and eventually it really became a pen holder?
Ingres asked Benber about this question, but Benber just laughed strangely and said nothing.
There is a high probability that his guess is correct.
It seems that when Olha Steel was created, it was guided by Algaron's mind and was a product of "idealism".
Idealistic products never follow conventional paths. So if we stick to the conventional way of studying Olha steel, we probably won't gain anything.
While thinking, Angel picked up the pen to check various data.
Although idealistic products are difficult to study using conventional methods, the things that should be done in the early stages still need to be done.
It just so happened that there were all kinds of detection instruments here, psychic resonance instruments, microstructure peepscopes, hallucination spectrometers, radiation gradient detectors... Angel had seen some of them before and some he had not, but for Angel, he could easily analyze the structure and use it with a scan of his mental power.
It took Angel less than half an hour to do a comprehensive external inspection.
To be honest, he had never seen such a weird test report. The data of this "pen" completely matched itself. It was just a "pen model", or a small toy with only the appearance of a pen.
There is no place to absorb ink and no refills.
But the smell of iron gall ink was real. Ingres collected some of the fragrance for analysis, and it was the same as what he had judged, that of iron gall ink.
But where is the source? It is inside the pen.
But no matter how hard he looked, he couldn't find any ink.
Angel used to think that fantasy alchemy was amazing, but now the scent of ink, whose source could not be found, seemed even more idealistic.
Angel pondered for a moment and decided to use his mental power to conduct a depth test.
Since no information can be obtained from external testing, perhaps mental testing can bring good news?
Half an hour later, Ingres put down his pen with a subtle expression. He did not move for a long time, and even stopped recording data.
After Angel was stunned for several minutes, he heard Benber's voice.
"How is it? Doesn't it feel magical?"
Angel slowly came back to his senses, and was stunned for a few seconds before nodding: "Very strange, a kind of strangeness that is hard to describe..."
At first, when Angel was doing a mental scan, he didn't find anything strange about Olha steel. Its properties were very similar to "steel".
But it is also slightly different, but Ingres cannot describe this difference, as if its nature is "flowing and changing".
Then, he probed his mental power into the interior of the pen, trying to see if there was any place where the "iron gall ink" was hidden. However, the inside of the pen was solid porcelain and there was no hollow space at all.
Ingres checked several times and the result was the same every time.
But just as he started a new round of inspection, he suddenly discovered that the feather tube structure of a swan feather appeared inside the pen, and there was a faint black liquid shaking in the feather tube.
Is this... ink?
Angel was completely confused. He had checked seven or eight times before and there was nothing inside. How come there were suddenly feather quills and ink?
“…It feels as if it has heard my thoughts and is gradually changing its internal structure based on my thoughts.”
Ingres spoke of his feelings in a trance, but after he finished speaking he felt that they seemed too egoistic.
He looked up to see what Benber would say.
But Benbo was still the same as before, not planning to say anything...even though he was the one who started the topic first.
However, although Benbo did not say anything, Angel discovered from his extrasensory perception that Benbo's emotions were extremely stable and there were no ups and downs.
This is completely different from the "fantasy alchemy" it had seen from Ingres before.
From its emotional feedback, Angell understood: Under what circumstances would Benber be so calm? That was when Angell discovered it, which was completely within its expectations.
In other words, this kind of egoistic feedback is one of the characteristics of Olha steel.
"If you are so surprised now, you will be more surprised every time you study Olha Steel in the future. Because the more you dig, you will find that it is like an endless treasure. You can dig out something different every time."
"Besides, you are only using the basic measurement method now. Why don't you try other methods next time, such as calcining with fire?"
Benbo: "But you can study these further measurements slowly with another piece of Olha steel when you return. For now, you might as well refine the launcher first."
"Otherwise, I feel like the flame I pulled from my main body is about to forget its mission..."
