Chapter 83 Six Secrets
Throughout history, countless apples have fallen on human heads, but people have become accustomed to it.
The sun rises and sets every day, there are spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are birth, aging, sickness and death...
Until one day, a persistent scientist thought about why the apple fell to the ground.
And Irubek was the one who was hit in the field of potions and started thinking.
…
This extraordinary world.
It is unknown how many tens of thousands of years have passed since the birth of potion science to the present era of steam machinery civilization.
There are countless outstanding potion masters who have created numerous potion formulas that can unleash human potential and create powerful and extraordinary humans.
But few people have explored how these formulas work in the human body.
Just like Ryan, the potion apprentice, his understanding of "potion science" remains at this level. Isn't the so-called "potion" just refining and fusing some materials with specific effects to become a potion with extraordinary powers?
As for why these strange materials undergo those magical chemical reactions and become a magic potion that can activate human potential, who cares?
This is also the first realm where junior and intermediate potion masters and ordinary people are. They only understand the "effect of medicine".
Senior potion masters are on the second level, they are thinking and studying the formulas to improve the quality.
Alchemists from the ancient civilization era were on the third level. They understood the “medicinal properties” of various materials and were able to create new potion formulas.
Irubek's realm is at the fifth level, and he studies the "pharmacology" of the effects of potions on human genes.
…
In order to distinguish his research direction from traditional alchemy, Irubek called his current research topic "modern alchemy".
The term "gene chain" first appeared in the subject he was researching.
Microscopic scientific instruments were invented in the steam civilization, and this extraordinary discipline leading to the gods had ways and means for people to explore the principles.
Although Irubek's creations in the field of potions cannot be compared with the potion masters of the ancient civilization who were able to create magical potions, his knowledge and theoretical depth and achievements are at the top of the human race that no one in the world today or even in the past and present can match, and may even reach... the truth!
He is a potions tutor and also a biological scientist.
"I just said so much just to let you know the essence of potions . And if you go in this direction, what will you see..."
The old man's tone gradually became less serious, and he said to Ryan, "The subject I'm studying is still too abstract for you now. If you can understand it, then understand it. If you can't, that's fine. Learn the basics of potions now, so that you will be qualified to touch more advanced theoretical knowledge in the future."
"oh."
Ryan nodded, not quite understanding.
"We were born in a very good era. We don't have to fight against the harsh living environment like people a thousand years ago. Now we have the Mechanical City to provide us with a safe shelter, and the technological equipment has given us an effective means of research..."
At this point, Irubek suddenly sighed again: "It's a pity... the development of high-precision equipment is too behind my theory. This has greatly affected my research progress. If I had more advanced observation equipment, I would be able to do microscopic experiments like cutting gene chains. By then, I can even create a highly efficient gene potion with a purity close to 100%..."
A 100% pure potion?
If an outsider heard this, it would definitely sound like a fantasy.
The impurity rate of the best potion makers nowadays is close to 20% for high-quality potions. This is an inevitable ineffective component in the fusion of materials, and it cannot be avoided no matter how many times it is purified.
Ryan couldn't understand how the old man did it for the time being, but he caught another message in his words.
"More advanced scientific research equipment?"
When he heard this, he instantly thought of the airship wreckage mentioned in Baron Morin's relics.
Obviously, being able to manufacture steam airships means that their technological level must be much higher than that of the two great empires of Omar and Theed.
Perhaps there are more sophisticated research equipment in that wreckage.
Ryan once thought that once he gained a certain level of strength, he would go "treasure hunting" and find the wreckage of the airship.
However, this experience of regaining his freedom made him understand more deeply the dangers of the wilderness, and he became more cautious.
The fact that Baron Morin was able to come back alive with the strength of a second-level [Awakener] was probably just a stroke of luck, just like how he accidentally entered the "Bakenya Highlands".
In this undeveloped foggy area, you never know what dangers are hidden inside.
Ryan felt that, let alone the second level, even after advancing to the third or fourth level, going alone was definitely not a good choice.
Moreover, he had to consider a fact that he had not thought of before.
Why did the airship crash? !
People of a high civilization, with advanced technology and perhaps also strong strength... What caused the crash? What about the people on the airship? Were they all wiped out, or were there any survivors?
If the airship crashed due to external forces, there might be some deadly threat hidden near the wreckage.
It would be a good choice to take Bazel with him when he was at his peak, but this guy is now a "disabled" person, and his combat power is not much ...
Probably...If you want to go treasure hunting, you have to find the right opportunity and powerful allies you can trust.
Without thinking too much, Irubek brought his thoughts back to reality.
"Okay, let's not talk about anything else. Now I will explain to you some introductory knowledge of potions..."
…
After midnight, the "Ten-Day Agreement" expired.
Ryan did not wait for any news from the countess.
He read a lot of books these days and gained a general understanding of the world.
Although he did not guess the exact identity of the pseudonym "Mrs. Vanessa", he found clues about the names of Uncle Sam and several others from some event notices and bounty notices.
[Dragonlance] Sam Aurora, [Soul Catcher] Benjamin, [Elephant Beauty] Susan Catalane, [Runaway Lolita] Sandra...
Several famous priests of the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce accompanied her, and the identity of "Madam Vanessa" was self-evident.
Although he had been fooled by this group of extraordinary bosses who were either at the fourth or fifth level before, Ryan did not have much resentment.
After all, I have received a lot of favors from others. If I hadn't met them, I would probably have been wiped out in the tide of beasts on the mountain road.
However, this also made Ryan a little confused.
What could have delayed such a strong lineup and why has it not returned yet?
But in any case, the agreed deadline has expired, and Ryan has no plans to continue looking after Udo.
The Omar intelligence department has not found the lost "holy object", so they must not have given up. In the morning, Ryan had to carefully disguise the barbarian girl in the hunting team leaving the city. After a narrow escape, they successfully left the city.
He was only responsible for getting the girl out of the city. How she returned to the tribe had nothing to do with him.
Ryan fulfilled his two promises and suddenly felt relieved.
When Wu Duo left, he also got rid of a trouble.
At least I don’t have to worry every day about my hotel room being broken into and me being implicated.
Now, it seems that he can develop well in this "City of Glory" by himself.
…
After Udo left, Ryan checked out of the hotel room and lived in Irubek's laboratory.
Every morning I go out to the martial arts hall to train for a few hours, then go to the library to read at noon, and return to the laboratory in the afternoon, and repeat this process.
Practice, read, study...
Life is very regular.
Ryan has gradually gotten used to his current fulfilling life.
In a blink of an eye, more than a month has passed.
…
On this day, Ryan went out early in the morning.
Today, there is an event in the "City of Glory" that is absolutely not to be missed for the extraordinary fighters.
The two fifth-level masters of the two major branches of the fighter sequence, [Qigong Master] and [Martial Artist ], will compete in an annual competition in the dojo.
At the same time, the "Six Fighting Styles" will be taught to everyone who is not a martial arts hall apprentice for a fee!
[Cannon Fist], [Wind Run], [Ten Hands], [Rain Cutting], [Sky God Strike], [Vajra]...
The six most advanced "ultimate-level" martial arts recognized by the contemporary fighting world!
