Chapter 1007 989. Academic letter exchange
It is true to say that Kalkstein's "Making Inanimate Matter Move" was helpful to Lan.
When Lan was constructing his own version of [Inner Steel], he used the knowledge in this book to construct his own knowledge framework about golems and magic-driven substances.
In the end, they succeeded in building a version of the [Inner Steel] that was no less powerful than the super organs possessed by the Primaris Space Marines, and even more powerful.
After all, the Nergigante's bone powder only gave Valyrian steel the regenerative and strong properties, but there was no way to dictate where these regenerated and spreading steel wire cables would grow.
This part of the control theory of steel wire cables was constructed by Lan En and Mentos after tinkering with the golem theory.
Treat these steel wire cables as golems, allowing them to receive orders and grow rigidly and strictly according to the orders.
Among the stories about golems, there is a quite famous one that Lan heard at Aretuza's 'Magical Security and Hygiene' lecture.
'A forgetful mage created a golem, made it move by casting Alzu's Thunder, and then immersed himself in the esoteric tomes after making a request to bring me water. The golem never stopped, and in the end, not only the mage's house, but also the entire city turned into a swamp. ’
Use the method of commanding the golem to command the steel wire cable extended from the [Tendin Coil].
With the cooperation of Mentos' computing power, if Lan En's commands are refreshed quickly and meticulously enough, they will cover every wire cable in the body.
Then he can even use the [Tendon Coil] to keep himself mobile even in extreme situations where his bones are completely broken and his muscles are torn.
It is equivalent to a built-in smart skeleton.
Therefore, Kalkstein's theory was of great help to Lan En.
But at this moment, Kalkstein, who met Lan En, seemed even more excited.
"Your theory of cell differentiation and division has brought our understanding of cells to a new level! Can you imagine how I felt when I saw your paper? Oh my god"
Kalkstein actually seemed to be dancing a little while he was talking.
His excitement was palpable.
Lan En has always been repulsive and wary of his 'fame' after the Battle of Sodden Mountain.
So much so that he wears a hood and cloak for a long time when walking outside and avoids being exposed.
But Kalkstan behaved differently.
He fully demonstrated his academic level in his speech, as well as his understanding of the theories that Lan En had previously proposed.
So this is not the excitement generated by 'meeting a famous person', but the excitement generated by academic discussants after meeting the proprietor of a certain theory.
Shani, who was originally standing at the door, looking like she was about to see off the guests, suddenly opened her wonderful eyes after hearing the alchemy master's exclamation.
She completely left the few people standing at the door ready to go out in place.
In the narrow and cramped room, he squeezed his way between Geralt and Dandelion.
"Is it Master Lan? The Duke of Cintra?"
Female students who had just entered college shouted while squeezing.
She looks much more eager now than before.
After all, according to Dandelion, she only studied with a master alchemist in order to make progress in medicine.
Now, no matter whether they are warlocks or ordinary people, in the entire academic circle, it is estimated that there are few people who have explored deeper than Lan En in the field of combining alchemy and human body structure.
To her, Lan En was considered a 'professional counterpart' and a mentor-level scholar.
But when Shani squeezed over, Lan En had already put down his hood again, and just made a sound in the shadow under the hood to talk to them.
Dandelion and Geralt looked at each other. One of them had a degree in liberal arts, and the other had never even attended a serious school.
I have never seen people from the science field engage in academic discussions.
But out of some sensitivity, Dandelion quietly approached Triss.
The sorceress now had her arms crossed, and one finger was pulling down a strand of her signature long burgundy hair and twisting it around.
Her eyes were always fixed on the tall figure. Even wearing a cloak, it did not affect Triss' appreciation of her lover's body while recalling the feeling of last night.
"Your eyes are so thick that honey is about to flow out."
Dandelion leaned closer and complained softly.
"But based on my experience, Triss. When a man discusses a topic with another group of people in front of his lover that she doesn't understand and can't get involved in, it's almost natural for anger and disappointment to arise. Don't you feel this way? ?”
"The feeling you are talking about should be called 'sense of crisis' and 'sense of neglect', Dandelion."
Triss did not turn her head or look away, she just lowered her voice to the level of the poet, and her tone was natural and casual.
"This schoolmate of yours is indeed very beautiful, but she still has to grow up for two more years, and she is just a little chick now. Do you think I will have a sense of crisis about her?"
"And we all know that if Lan wants to get a girl into bed, he can solve 90% of the problem by simply lifting the hood on his head. Has he lifted it now?"
Dandelion prided himself on not being blind, so he shook his head, smacked his lips and stood next to Geralt, calmly receiving the look of the witcher who had watched a good show.
Shani has just entered college. She actually didn't interrupt, and she even understood the basics of Lan En's theory.
But this female college student is indeed as Dandelion said, with clear goals and perseverance.
She probably had already chosen her department and tutor before going to Oxenfort, and knew which theories and scholars she should pay attention to if she wanted to be a good doctor.
So just by listening in on the discussion between Kalkstein and Lan, she also showed eagerness and thirst.
And she didn't pretend to know and interrupt to attract attention.
This sense of propriety alone is enough for many young people to learn.
She really wants to learn something.
Lan can feel it from her emotions.
"Are you here for your own industry?" Kalkstein looked at Lan in surprise, and then said without hesitation.
"It is indeed dangerous to have a broken capital chain. I still have some money here. Do you need it? No, I don't want anything. I just don't want scholars like you to be overwhelmed and exhausted by asset issues. That's such a waste."
"The process of our research is like sailing on a river or sea, full of tides, whirlpools, and dangerous sandbanks and reefs. A boatman alone can never figure out all the secrets of a channel. He must go to the dock to exchange experiences and discoveries with other boatmen."
Kalkstein's words are sincere. Even though he has an unpleasant, ape-like face, Lan En thinks he is quite cute.
Because in terms of emotions, Kalkstein is sincere.
He is willing to pay a part of the money for Lan En, a person he just met, just to keep his wisdom from being tied down by trivial matters.
Although this is not all of his savings, but only a part of it, this behavior seems more sincere.
He wants to do his best to help although he seems to have no idea about Lan En's relationship with Aretusa and the Valyria Chamber of Commerce.
Unlike the image of being obsessed with alchemy, this guy seems to be actually quite heroic.
Lan En chuckled under his cloak.
"No, no thanks, Kalkstein. Thank you for your kindness. But in fact, I have almost dealt with the asset problem. Now I am just looking for someone to be my professional manager."
He looked at the instruments behind the alchemist master, which looked simple due to the restrictions of the residence, and the advanced products being generated in these simple instruments - golem core substrate.
Lan En's mouth suddenly raised a subtle arc.
"Your technology and creativity amaze me."
"I have a good idea, Kalkstein. Maybe we can make a lot of money."
"We can talk about whether it makes money or not later." The alchemist with a monkey face waved his hand indifferently. He really didn't care about these things.
Instead, Kalkstein grabbed Lan En's arm with expectation.
"Can you leave me your address? A mailing address is fine too! I'm really interested in the crystal cultivation project you lead, and we can exchange other knowledge!"
"No problem, just sign my name and send it to Aretuza. I'll receive and reply, and I also want to communicate with you."
Lan En agreed to Kalkstein, which made the monkey-faced alchemist rub his hands like a fly.
And he kept saying "Not a loss!", "This trip to Novigrad is really worth it!" and so on.
After Lan En and Kalkstein finished their academic exchanges and made an appointment for follow-up communications, they were about to turn around and leave.
Lan En, who was about to go out, paused, raised a hand under his cloak, and patted Shani's shoulder, who was still excited and holding a small notebook to record the exchange just now.
He still didn't let the female college student see his face.
"If you have any ideas for your future studies, we can also communicate through letters."
"Me? I, I'm just a student, how can I talk to you?!"
"But I think you have the potential to be a great doctor, so of course we can communicate about academic issues."
Lan En said softly. He didn't dislike people with ambition, especially if the ambition was to be a doctor who saved lives.
And the overall atmosphere in the academic circle is not good now.
Thanks to the warlocks' concept of 'my strength comes from my possession of knowledge, not sharing'.
Even if it is a research group, scholars will keep a hand between each other.
Frank communication and discussion have become a luxury.
Kalkstein not only showed a heroic attitude towards money, but also was very much to Lan En's taste in the concept of knowledge sharing. He was indeed a great alchemist.
Xia Ni's thirst for knowledge was the same.
So he was looking forward to exchanging letters with the two of them.
