My health recovery is incredibly fast.

Crucibles that can withstand high temperatures, do not react with alchemical materials, and do not deform at high temperatures are collectively referred to as high-temperature crucibles.

At such high temperatures, it is difficult for alchemists to operate the crucible at close range.

Therefore, the alchemy table in the art of magical alchemy is very unique.

Alchemists use a mechanical arm, not their own hands and arms, to control their alchemical instruments.

Above the alchemy table of the wondrous artifact, two slender mechanical arms hang.

The robotic arm on the left has only two metal claws, which are specifically used to grip raw materials or move alchemical equipment.

The robotic arm on the right does not have a fixed metal claw.

The end of this robotic arm has rotating patterns. On the metal frame on the right, there is a row of metal claws of various shapes, such as ladles, funnels, tubes, and pliers.

When a certain type of metal gripper is needed, simply insert the end of the right robotic arm into the slot of the metal gripper.

To replace the metal gripper, simply place the existing metal gripper into the groove of the metal frame, and the gripper will detach from the robotic arm on its own.

The Alchemy Table of Wonders occupies a very large area.

In the center is a high-temperature furnace, and the high-temperature crucible is placed on the furnace's outlet.

Above the alchemy table are the top frame, the robotic arm, and the robotic arm's slide rails.

Upon entering, to the left of the crucible is a raised platform, upon which sits the control panel for operating the robotic arm.

Xia Zuo had learned from the textbook that the Alchemy Table was exquisitely crafted, but when he saw the real thing, he couldn't help but tremble with awe.

As he followed his mentor and approached the alchemy table, his gaze was instantly drawn to the dozens of buttons and two joysticks on the control panel.

Xia Zuo cast a detection spell on the small light spot inside the button.

The feedback indicates that they are elemental minions known as Blueprint Enforcers.

Looking at the small lights on the robotic arm and the slide rail, they are also blueprint executors.

Xia Zuo's mouth gaped slightly as he stopped, his expression trembling, staring at the strange alchemy table not far away. As a transmigrator, he knew perfectly well what all this meant…

If the blueprint implementer is capable of such complex operations, then manual labor such as planting grains, cultivating herbs, and raising livestock can also be done by the blueprint implementer.

It is entirely possible for a magical alchemist with a sufficient number of elemental servants to independently operate a large estate that produces abundant grains, fruits, and meats.

No wonder Starry Night Academy specializes in the study of rare alchemy; no wonder the subject of elemental representation requires so many untamed elements—this subject is undoubtedly the most advanced form of productivity.

"So many elemental minions..." Xia Zuo uttered a sigh, expressing the excitement in his heart.

Bi Cui led Xia Zuo up to the high platform and spread out a parchment scroll on the side table next to the control panel. A transmutation diagram that Xia Zuo had never seen before was presented before his eyes.

"This alchemy diagram is not included in the textbook."

Beatrice tapped her fingertip lightly on the parchment scroll. "It's not complicated, much simpler than the alchemy diagram. I need you to memorize it and then use the Alchemy Table to create the finished product."

Xia Zuo walked to the table and examined the drawings on the paper. They were indeed child's play.

He took out a pencil and notebook from his bag, copied the parchment scroll several times, then closed the scroll and drew it from memory. The message from the "golden finger" then entered his mind:

"Successfully memorized the blueprint for an unknown artifact. Reward: 20 experience points and a small amount of spirit attribute value."

"Professor, I've taken notes." Xia Zuo closed the notebook.

"So fast?" Beatrice stood by with her arms crossed, glancing at the wall clock. Only about 20 minutes had passed.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that the other person had such a good memory.

Beatrice rubbed her brow a few times, then took a card and a roll of metal wire from her pocket and placed them on the table.

"These are the raw material numbers and the threads needed for lifting. The lifting speed is 100 centimeters per hour."

Xia Zuo nodded honestly, keeping in mind the "100 centimeters per hour" mentioned by his mentor.

"Then, begin the crafting process. If you can complete it tonight, I will promote you to the rank of Skilled Alchemist of Exquisite Objects."

“Yes, Professor.” Xia Zuo looked at the wardrobe by the wall. “I’ll go change into my smock and gloves, and my glasses.”

Alchemists specializing in the science of wondrous objects need to wear a frame with five lenses over their left eye when operating a workbench or a wondrous alchemy table.

Each lens can magnify what the left eye sees by 1x. Using 5 lenses simultaneously magnifies the image by 32x.

After putting on the frames, use your left hand to move the lever on the side of the frames to adjust the number of lenses. One lever adds one lens. The sixth lever resets the number of lenses to one.

The textbook says that after wearing glasses, objects appear larger to the left eye and smaller to the right eye, which can feel awkward and takes a long time to get used to.

Xia Zuo guessed that the first challenge tonight would be the different images perceived by the left and right eyes.

When the students put on their smocks, Beatrice also found one for herself. She tied the smock around her waist, and the cylindrical black smock concealed her voluptuous and elegant figure.

The two returned to the high platform.

Xia Zuo first put the glasses frame aside and found the adhesive paper for rubbing the pattern under the table.

The adhesive tape is transparent, with adhesive on one side and not on the other. The adhesive side only becomes sticky after the film is peeled off.

Xia Zuo unfolded the parchment and laid it flat. He held the adhesive paper over the parchment, making sure that the four corners and four edges were aligned, and then pressed the side of the adhesive paper without glue onto the parchment.

He tightly bonded the parchment and adhesive paper together, then used a roller brush to roll over the surface of the adhesive paper to remove the air between them, ensuring that no tiny air bubbles remained in the interlayer.

The transmutation diagram on the parchment is transferred onto adhesive paper and left to stand for about five minutes.

While waiting, Xia Zuo went down from the platform and began to check the alchemy table.

This is something that has been emphasized in the textbook, and it must be done before each refining process.

Xia Zuo walked to the high-temperature crucible and looked inside. It was very clean, with no residue. The inner wall of the crucible was smooth and flat, without any cracks.

He squatted down to look at the arc-shaped patterns on the bottom of the pot, which were intact and could increase the temperature inside the pot.

The claws, raw material containers, robotic arms, and slides—everything was laid out exactly as described in the textbook. Beatrice hadn't deliberately created any difficulties on the artifact alchemy table.

Xia Zuo returned to the platform and peeled off the adhesive paper.

The parchment scroll was as clean as if it had been wiped with correction fluid, and the pattern had been completely transferred onto the adhesive paper.

Xia Zuo picked up the adhesive paper with both hands, walked to the high-temperature crucible, tore off the film on the adhesive paper, and pasted the refining diagram onto the inner wall of the crucible.

The next steps are to apply a base coat using a glue gun and arrange the transmuted minions using tweezers, following the patterns on the transmutation diagram.

The base is honey-colored and very sticky, which can bind the transmutation servant to the transmutation diagram.

Transmuted minions are tiny octahedrons, roughly the size of a grain of rice. There are four colors of transmuted minions, each corresponding to a different transmutation pattern.

When the last octahedron was attached to the transmutation diagram, a faint four-colored light emanated from it.

Xia Zuojian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the light from the alchemy diagram was continuous without any breaks or dark spots.

Xia Zuo stood in front of the control panel, his eyes scanning over the rows of buttons, identifying the function of each one.

The control panel buttons are available in three colors.

Red indicates that this operation is related to a high-temperature crucible, such as [pouring in raw materials], [pouring out the solution from the crucible], [clamping the high-temperature crucible], [increasing the temperature inside the crucible], [starting to lift], [adjusting the lifting speed], etc.

White indicates that this operation is related to the right robotic arm, such as [installing the mixing claw head], [installing the clamping claw head], [returning the claw head to its original position].

Green indicates that the operation is related to raw materials. Each number, from 1 to 20, corresponds to a specific location on the shelf. After pressing the green button, the left robotic arm will use its grippers to pick up the corresponding raw material container.

It has only about 40 buttons on the left and right, fewer than a keyboard, making it quite easy to operate.

To be on the safe side, Xia Zuo spent some extra time familiarizing himself with the operation of the control panel.

After reviewing the textbook content in his mind, he took a deep breath and pressed the button to light the stove.

"boom!"

A muffled thud came from inside the high-temperature furnace, and crimson flames shot out from the furnace mouth. The intense fire heated the high-temperature crucible, and the rolling heat waves reached the operating table from a distance of several meters.

Xia Zuo glanced at the raw material numbers recorded on the piece of paper, operated the left robotic arm, and picked up pieces of metal ingots from the shelf next to the alchemy table and put them into the crucible.

The metal ingots were glowing, and the results of the Detect spell indicated that these metal ingots were enchanted artifacts with unknown enchantment effects.

Dozens of enchanted metal ingots filled the high-temperature crucible, slowly melting and mixing in the scorching heat of the furnace into a crucible of mottled liquid.

Chapter 24 Mingus Tirafa

Xia Zuo manipulated the right robotic arm, using a heat-resistant ladle to stir the crucible until the liquid turned a pure silver-gray.

He put on his glasses and used three lenses to observe the crucible.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the solution, gradually increasing in number. When the ripples collided, they ejected silvery water droplets.

The water droplets fall quickly as soon as they leave the liquid surface, never splashing outside the crucible.

A few minutes later, the surface of the solution became smooth in an instant, and no more water droplets or ripples appeared.

The creation of the wondrous artifact is halfway complete.

The Mingus Tila method is required.

The word "lift" is very descriptive; it means successfully extracting the alchemical product from the solution.

Xia Zuo manipulated the left robotic arm to move to the control panel and tied a thin metal wire to the gripper.

He held the end of the thread perpendicular to the solution surface and slowly immersed it into the solution.

Once the solution surface has submerged the scale line on the metal wire, Xia Zuo manipulates the left robotic arm to slowly pull the metal wire upwards.

At this point, the end of the thread is 50 centimeters below the surface of the solution.

Xia Zuo needs to lift it to a height of 50 centimeters above the surface of the solution.

A 100-centimeter lifting distance, performed at a speed of 100 centimeters per hour, takes exactly 60 minutes.

Xia Zuo doesn't need to control the lifting speed.

He only needs to press a few buttons on the control panel to hand over the blueprint executor to carry out the operation precisely.

But that doesn't mean we can let our guard down.

He needs to constantly monitor the surface of the solution with a magnifying lens, and if ripples appear, he must immediately lower the temperature of the furnace.

This step doesn't require the use of detection techniques.

Xia Zuo needs a second or two to read the feedback information, which can be distracting, so he has to rely on himself to complete the lifting operation.

The appearance of ripples follows a predictable pattern.
