Lord: Marry the villain's daughter at the beginning?

After simple processing by the craftsmen in the territory, the magic stone can be officially used.

The next step is to test whether the magic power in the magic stone can be mobilized by the magic trigger to successfully activate the magic circle.

Although it had been experimented countless times in Derek's notes, it was the first time that Lind put it into practice. Lind chose a molten fire array with a simple rune structure and a clear magic conduction route. It had been used many times in the territory, and it was the array that the craftsmen had used to make steel before.

With Linde's help, Lisha modified the magic trigger into a real trigger. It was no longer automatically triggered by being placed in the center of the magic circle, but the magic trigger could be turned on and off by a knob switch.

Of course, this switch will be optimized as part of the magic trigger in the future.

As Lind slowly turned the knob, invisible magic power started from the crystal clear black magic stone beside Lind, and slowly flowed into the magic circle under the boiler through the runes. The red flame began to gush out, roaring with the temperature that could melt everything.

"It worked! We succeeded!"

The ones who shouted excitedly were not Linde, Lisha, or Reina, but the old craftsmen present.

In fact, these old craftsmen had already been tortured to death by the formulas and theorems in Derek's notes. They had used most of their life's magic power to debug the runes. Now you tell me that they must rely on mathematics to calculate the properties and positions of the runes in the future?

However, rune craftsmen are also professionals after all, and have a certain mathematical foundation. Because even the most talented professionals need to build a spell model when casting a spell, and the model already includes the amount of magic power that needs to be mobilized, the firing angle, the firing force, etc. If any of these variables are calculated incorrectly, it will lead to spell failure or even backlash.

In fact, professionals have already learned basic mathematics when they were learning magic, just like Reina. Although she looks stupid and has no political intelligence, because she is a sixth-level professional, her understanding of Derek's notes is the deepest among everyone. However, most professionals do not realize that the spell model they learned can be converted into a mathematical model.

Afterwards, even though these old craftsmen were very reluctant, they still studied the revised version of Derek's notes under the coercion and inducement of Lind and Lena, and spent more than half a month carving out this molten fire magic circle purely through calculations.

The most painful situation is the one where you can barely understand but have to learn.

However, this speed is already very fast. You have to know that although there are three geniuses, Reina, Lisha and Isa, to help, there were no computers in this era, not even abacus. Gray-collar worker relied purely on pen and paper calculations to complete the world's first rune array that can be used for practical purposes and is purely based on mathematical engraving.

Linde also humorously called this type of magic array the Mathematical Olympiad Magic Array. After all, mathematics has now become real magic.

Of course, in order to prevent any accidents, before officially starting it, Lind asked the old craftsmen to use magic power to verify the mathematical array, and only officially started it after confirming that it was correct.

Looking at the glowing magic circle and the tumbling molten iron, the old blacksmith who was directing the blacksmiths to work also said excitedly: "The temperature is constant and the flame is stable. It's incredible. We only need to control the output of the magic trigger to adjust the flame size. If we continue like this."

The old craftsman suddenly stopped because he realized how horrible what he was going to say next.

But Lind on the side continued what the old craftsman said: "If this continues, even ordinary people can serve as rune craftsmen."

Ordinary people can also become rune craftsmen, which means that as long as there is an adequate supply of raw materials and magic stones, gray-collar workers can work at full capacity to continuously produce steel. Moreover, the applications of arcane arrays and rune triggers are obviously not limited to steelmaking.

However, the gray-collar rune craftsmen are not worried about losing their jobs. On the contrary, according to the documents previously drafted by Lind, these craftsmen have already reserved management positions in the future. As long as their performance is not too bad, they will be able to count money without doing anything in the future.

For rune craftsmen who can only assist mid- and high-level professionals, are at the bottom of the contempt chain among professionals, and come to the gray-collar jobs because of their own lack of strength, this is like Qin Shihuang touching the electric wire - they are defeated.

In fact, steelmaking is not the highlight. At least for today's white-collar workers, the original efficient steel production capacity cannot be digested, let alone the steel that has begun magical industrialization.

The arcane array at the steel mill was more of an experimental nature, and what Lind was going to inspect next was today's important project.

That is to use arcane arrays to simulate alchemy in order to create alchemical potions.

What is the most valuable thing in troubled times besides food?

That is weapons and medicine.

In today's North, where wars are constant and bandits are rampant, adventurers are taking advantage of the situation. Whether it is the adventurers who first came to the North in search of the secret treasure of the empire thousands of years ago, or the black-gloved bandits employed by the lords, or even the personal soldiers of the nobles, there is a huge demand for alchemical potions.

It has been mentioned before that the alchemists in this world are different from the alchemists of the Renaissance in the previous life. They do not believe that they can refine things just by stirring the cauldron. Instead, each alchemy school has its own unique alchemy magic, and each alchemy item requires a different spell model for its alchemy magic.

What is to be replicated this time using the rune magic circle is the most common recovery potion refining technique in this world, which is known as the alchemist's entry test.

That’s right, the name of this potion is Recovery Potion, and it is exactly the same as the red potion in the transparent test tube in the RPG game, both in name and function.

Of course, the reality is definitely not like in the game where any injury can be recovered by drinking it. The main purpose of this recovery potion is to treat external injuries and restore physical strength. It can be taken orally or used externally. The materials needed are also very common. It is very popular among mercenaries and adventurers. Because it is a basic potion, spell models are all over the streets, and there are even many modified versions.

"My Lord, we can start anytime."

Lisha stood beside the magic trigger waiting for Lind's order. Right now, this alchemy device was still very primitive. Apart from mobilizing magic power to develop runes and using the recovery potion alchemy technique, all other operations still needed to be done manually.

For example, the stirring of the alchemical boiler, the mixing of materials, the taking out of the finished product and putting it into the storage bottle and so on.

Fortunately, none of these steps require magic, but the most critical mixing step still requires workers to be trained.

Industrialization cannot be achieved overnight. Now we can only build a shell, but it is not easy to build the shell well.

"Well, let's get started."

Following Lind's orders, the trained workers began to mix the materials in proportion, stir them, and turn on the magic trigger. After a series of processes, a box of recovery potion came out.

Isa opened a bottle of recovery potion, took a sniff and praised: "The color is rich and the smell is also good."

Then he opened a few more bottles of recovery potions, and after doing the same thing, he said with emotion, "My Lord, I don't know how to describe it. If the alchemy teacher at the academy were to evaluate it, he would definitely say that this is a standard recovery potion that couldn't be more standard. It's like it was taken directly from a textbook."

"The most terrifying thing is that the properties of these recovery potions are almost identical. It's as if they were all made by a puppet that is completely tireless and can only repeat the same refining spell."

It is easy to imagine how devastated those low-level alchemists who make a living by selling recovery potions will be after this batch of recovery potions circulates on the market.

But Lind didn't care. If he collapsed, he would just come to work as a white-collar worker. Because the newly built factory was constantly recruiting people, the territory fell into the same crisis again, and the labor force was almost insufficient. You know, it's not the busy farming season yet. When the busy farming season comes, there will be an even greater shortage of manpower.

Even if those unemployed alchemists are lazy and ignorant, they are perfect human computers, providing computing power for future research and disassembly of runes.
