Chapter 16 Core Array
One year later, in Shi San's blacksmith shop.
"Brother, this sword is very well made, and the whole body is made of iron essence. But why did you make the sword body and the hilt together? This not only uses more iron essence but also increases the weight of the sword. Wouldn't it be better to use a lighter material as the hilt?"
Shi Yi nodded and said, "I don't want to make an ordinary sword. The hilt is easy to be crushed if it is made of ordinary light materials, and if the materials between the sword body and the hilt are not compatible, the flow of soul power will be a problem."
Hearing this, Tang San was slightly surprised, and said uncertainly, "Brother, do you want to make a sword that a soul master can use?"
Shi Yi nodded and said, "Yes, now there is only one step left."
Looking at the sword with a cold light, there is a hole on the hilt.
Melee soul guide is the first project that Shi Yi tried. Compared with other soul guides, it also has an unparalleled practical foundation. If the most commonly used weapons of non-soul masters on the mainland are swords, they are swords, and the most commonly used weapons for the army are spears.
This sword was also made by Shi Yi relying on his daily soul master subsidy, and the materials he saved up bit by bit. In fact, for Shi Yi, long weapons such as spears and sticks are more suitable than swords, but he is too poor now. A spear made entirely of iron essence can be sold for at least 500 gold soul coins on the market. He can obtain iron essence at a low cost because he practiced the chaotic cloak hammer method with Tang San.
"One step away?" Tang San asked with some doubt.
"Xiao San, this sword needs another thing to be truly successful, something that can make the soul power show the properties you want and amplify this property." Shi Yi chuckled.
"What is it?" Tang San asked doubtfully.
"A brain, the core array of the soul guide." Shi Yi smiled.
After that, Shi Yi put the sword he had made into his soul guide.
Tang San's face was even more surprised. He also followed Yu Xiaogang for a year of study, so he naturally knew what a soul guide was.
"It's a weapon-type soul guide. I wonder how powerful it is compared to a hidden weapon?" Tang San thought to himself.
Tang San did not continue to ask, obviously Shi Yi's soul guide is still in the research stage.
Seeing that Tang San had no questions, Shi Yi continued to think about the design of his first soul guide.
"Iron essence is the best material I can use at present. Most of the weapons of the elite army are also made of iron essence. The biggest advantage is that it is tough, but it is too heavy, far exceeding the weight of ordinary iron. If I hadn't absorbed the soul ring of the Thousand Jun Ant, I would not be able to lift it, let alone swing it at will. The material used in the core array has the best wind attribute, which can make the weapon light and agile, and also enhance the cutting ability." "
I can only ask the teacher for help with the materials. Let's think about the design of the core array first."
Thinking of this, Shi Yi took out his little notebook from his soul guide and began to think.
According to Shi Yi's research on soul guides, a core array represents the underlying logic of the soul guide's operation. Take the storage belt that Yu Xiaogang gave him as an example. Just for the storage function, the core array is divided into two different layers.
Under Shi Yi's careful observation, these two parts represent storage and taking out respectively. Shi Yi tried to carve the same core array on other materials, but it didn't work. Shi Yi had two guesses about this. One was that the carving was incomplete or there were errors in the carving of some subtle places. The other was the material problem. Every jade stone on the belt was not a simple material.
"The main function of the core array of the melee soul guide is to store energy and amplify it, so that the soul master can burst out a power beyond his own in one move and one style under the normal use of soul power. If it is based on wind-attributed materials, since the soul master can speed up his cultivation speed through a special soul power operation route, then the energy storage core array must be carved into a closed loop shape, just like the soul power forms a cycle in the soul master's body. Different materials have different properties and patterns. If you want to speed up the energy storage speed and amplify the soul power burst, then you must experiment with the most efficient soul power operation route and shape on the material."
"No wonder most core arrays are mainly circular."
Thinking of this, Shi Yi couldn't help but curl his lips slightly. He already had his own experimental ideas for the carving of the core array, and now he only lacked materials.
Shi Yi had no choice but to accompany Tang San to forge iron.
After Shi Yi and Tang San finished a day's work in Shi San's blacksmith shop, Shi Yi could not wait to go to the second floor of the cafeteria to wait for Yu Xiaogang to appear at dinner time.
Yu Xiaogang also appeared in the cafeteria on time. When he came to the second floor, Yu Xiaogang saw a little surprise on Shi Yi's face. Shi Yi came very early today. After
skillfully ordering a few dishes at the cafeteria window, Yu Xiaogang slowly sat in front of Shi Yi.
"Just tell me if you have anything to say." Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi helplessly.
Shi Yi smiled and said with a smile: "Teacher, do you have money? Or can you help me get special materials with wind attributes that are particularly conductive?"
Yu Xiaogang said with surprise: "In just one year, your soul guide research has made progress?"
Shi Yi smiled and said: "It's just a matter of experiment."
"I don't have money, but I may be able to help you with special materials with wind attributes." Yu Xiaogang said to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi showed surprise and stretched out his hand to Yu Xiaogang.
"Not now, maybe in a few days." Yu Xiaogang said to Shi Yi calmly.
"In a few days? You won't set your sights on your two old friends, will you?" Shi Yi smiled.
Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi and sighed slightly, saying, "It seems that you already know my origins. I haven't contacted Flanders for a long time."
"How do you know that old friend has what I want?" Shi Yi asked in confusion.
Yu Xiaogang fell into memories after hearing this and said, "Because it is Flanders' dream to build an academy. When we traveled on the continent, Flanders collected a lot of materials with different properties. The most important thing for an academy is the simulated training environment. Only when a large number of special materials with the same properties are piled together through special means can a simulated training environment suitable for soul masters be created."
Shi Yi's eyes suddenly lit up. Flanders' assets were much richer than he had imagined.
"If we can successfully build the first soul guide, then when we go to Shrek a few years later, we can also connect with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and we don't have to worry about materials and money anymore." Shi Yi said secretly in his heart.
"Okay, let's eat first. Since you have a clue, I will write a letter after dinner and help you get some materials." Yu Xiaogang said to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi nodded happily.
...
Three days later, Shi Yi returned to his room after a day's work.
When he opened the door, he saw the various materials with green light shining in Yu Xiaogang's room. Seeing this, Shi Yi's young eyes were full of excitement.
At this moment, Shi Yi had a clearer understanding of the Soul Saint. Shi Yi originally thought that a Soul Saint like Flanders who would not bow to the powerful would be very poor, but Shi Yi was sure that the wind attribute materials in this room were enough to make his experiment successful.
Shi Yi simply counted them. There were not only special metals, but also many wind attribute materials produced from soul beasts, such as hard claws, feathers, and inner elixir.
Shi Yi knocked on those special metals casually.
"Oh my God, these materials cannot be carved by ordinary carving knives." Shi Yi muttered to himself.
"These things are used as the core of the things cast by the iron essence. I am afraid that the soul power will condense to a certain extent, which will cause the collapse of the entire soul guide."
Shi Yi picked and chose among various materials and finally found a large piece of special wind attribute metal in the pile of materials.
Although ordinary wind crystals are not very precious, this piece of wind crystal is valuable because it is pure enough, so that it can be carved well, and the materials are sufficient, so that the iron essence will not be unable to withstand this power.
Finally, Shi Yi found a feather among the materials. It was an extremely sharp feather. Shi Yi could feel a breeze blowing across his hand just by holding it in his hand. You have to know that this was in a room, and there was no way a breeze would appear out of thin air.
"This thing is a natural carving knife. If it is made into a hidden weapon for Tang San, the damage it will cause will not be low." Shi Yi looked at the power of the feather and was delighted.
Shi Yi carefully tried to use the feather to divide the large piece of wind crystal into small pieces. As a result, the sharpness of the feather was far beyond Shi Yi's imagination. It cut the wind crystal with a casual stroke. Seeing this, Shi Yi was sure that the thing in his hand came from a wind-attributed soul beast that was at least 30,000 years old.
Shi Yi used a pen to mark the large piece of wind crystal, divided it into several pieces, and couldn't wait to try it.
In fact, in Shi Yi's opinion, the core array of the soul guide is similar to the CPU of the computer in the previous life. The carving of the core array is to continuously add cores and threads to the core array on the basis of materials to ensure the improvement of efficiency. In order to make the core array multi-core and multi-threaded, it requires extremely high eyesight and mental strength to continuously carve accurately in the already extremely small core array.
"No wonder the soul guide has to wear glasses. It would be great if I could learn the Purple Demon Eye from Xiao San. Let's get started first. Without Zhang the butcher, I will have to eat hairy pigs?" Shi Yi thought secretly in his heart.
"Start with the simplest circular closed loop, and try to create multiple loops in it..."
Shi Yi was carving with full concentration, and he didn't even care about the movement of opening and closing the door after Yu Xiaogang came back.
Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction when he saw Shi Yi's state. It was the first time he saw Shi Yi so serious. Of course, this also means that the research of soul guides is very difficult.
Although Shi Yi is still a child, Yu Xiaogang has never treated Shi Yi as a child.
In this way, Shi Yi switched back and forth between the actions of constantly carving and constantly changing the wind crystal in his hand, and even forgot about the most important daily meditation.
Seeing Shi Yi like this, Yu Xiaogang did not disturb Shi Yi, and entered into meditation on his own.
After an unknown period of time, when Shi Yi's last knife fell, a breeze appeared from the wind crystal in his hand. Shi Yi understood that he had succeeded.
Shi Yi used a simple circle as the array base, and borrowed from the Tai Chi of his previous life. He drew two sets of interdependent and interconnected cores in the array base to speed up the operation efficiency of soul power.
Then Shi Yi excitedly took out the long sword made of iron essence from his soul guide. He had already reserved a groove on the hilt, and then embedded the wind crystal with the core array in his hand.
Looking at the sword in his hand, Shi Yi couldn't help but say happily: "I succeeded."
Shi Yi came back to his senses and looked out the window. It was already dawn. A simple dual-core array took him a day and a night, and Yu Xiaogang didn't know where he went.
Just when Shi Yi wanted to try out his first soul guide, he felt a strong sense of fatigue. Shi Yi felt his eyelids suddenly become as heavy as Mount Tai.
The sword in his hand fell, and Shi Yi fainted.
After an unknown amount of time, Shi Yi gradually woke up, and a sense of emptiness was revealed all over his body.
"Awake?" Yu Xiaogang's voice reached Shi Yi's ears.
Shi Yi tried to turn his head away, but saw Yu Xiaogang looking at the sword he had forged.
Shi Yi smiled weakly and said, "How is it? Very good, isn't it?"
Yu Xiaogang put down the sword in his hand, took out a bowl of porridge from somewhere, fed Shi Yi a mouthful and said, "Not bad, with the blessing of wind attribute, the sharpness is far beyond ordinary swords. The speed of sword drawing and the weight of holding the sword will change with the injection of soul power. The most important thing is that under the condition of continuous injection of soul power, it can easily produce wind attribute sword energy. With this sword and your strength, ordinary great soul masters will not be your opponents."
"Really, just as I expected." Shi Yi said, slowed down, struggled to sit up, took the bowl of porridge in Yu Xiaogang's hand and ate it himself. The feeling of being served was indeed a little unaccustomed.
"Remember, don't tell others easily that you can make soul guides." Yu Xiaogang put the long sword next to Shi Yi and warned softly.
Shi Yi nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
Yu Xiaogang looked at Shi Yi with emotion. The child in front of him had achieved an achievement that he could not imagine.
"It's better to use this sword less. If someone is targeting you, it won't be good. Compared with this offensive soul guide, I think it's better for you to study more defensive soul guides. I can't imagine what the world will be like if soul guides become popular." Yu Xiaogang said.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of porridge, Shi Yi gradually recovered some of his strength.
Shi Yi smiled and said, "Teacher, there is nothing wrong with the weapon itself. Soul guides are not popular now, but will there be fewer fights?"
Yu Xiaogang nodded slightly and said, "What you said makes sense, but I am more worried about soul beasts rather than soul masters. Once this kind of soul guide becomes popular to a certain extent, the strength of soul masters will soar, and there will be no place for soul beasts in the entire continent."
Shi Yi also nodded in agreement.
"Take a good rest for a few days. You are not suitable for such a long-term research at your age."
After that, Yu Xiaogang took out his little notebook and began to observe the sword made by Shi Yi.
