My slow journey to infinity

The peaceful life made Sylvia feel a little dazed.

After arriving in this peaceful town for a week, Wang Shui has begun to integrate into the life here. He has become friends with almost everyone he can meet.

He behaved steadily and calmly. With his strange alchemy and superb mechanical repair skills, Wang Shui became a freelance engineer with a good reputation. Most of his work was to help factories outside the town debug and repair various large machinery.

Every day during the day, Aqua Regis would socialize a lot, and at the same time memorize any books he could find. Most of the night was spent on combat training, and sometimes Sivilia controlled physical exercise. At that time, Aqua Regia would hang up in the background to sort out knowledge.

On the outskirts of the small town [Lissenburg], on the edge of the village near the river, a wooden fence encloses an open space of about one hectare. As suitable forest land, the price of this part of the land is not cheap. The annual land rent is 4,000 yuan. .

There is a simple brick and stone hut on a high slope in the corner of the open space, and next to it is a construction site under construction. Judging from the appearance of the foundation, the structure of the house that Wang Shui is going to build is not complicated, and the back is more like a large factory building.

Naturally, Wang Shui built the cabin temporarily. After all, he had to work out at night. It would be too troublesome and a waste of money to keep jumping out from the third floor of the hotel.

"So you interrupted today's exercise plan just for this?"

Sylvia looked at the huge pattern on the stone floor of the open square and asked a dull question.

She likes this huge stone square, surrounded by open and quiet grass and woods. The environment is quiet and the air is fresh, which makes people feel very comfortable when exercising.

But tonight Wang Shui not only stopped exercising, but also filled the square with chalk patterns and words.

"I've been preparing for a few days."

Wang Shui brought some steel, rubber, copper wire and other things from the side of the hut, and placed them at the fixed position of the alchemy array in this world.

"Amestolis is a country that encourages people to learn alchemy, but it has not formed a specialized education system. The junior colleges are very loose. I don't know if there are too few people or if the author doesn't think too much. The literacy rate of the people is not high, so It’s incredible that we can still maintain a high-quality army. However, books on basic alchemy knowledge are easy to obtain, which really saves me a lot of worry.”

Wang Shui finished the inspection while nagging. He came to the edge of the alchemy array, squatted down, clapped his hands, and then pressed on the alchemy array.

Blue lightning soared up and quickly melted the contents of the alchemy array. Under the fusion of strong light, a complex black mechanical exoskeleton was ready.

"A bit like the frame of a mobile armor?" Sylvia immediately noticed.

"No, this is the structural frame of the second-generation mobile armor, but I have redesigned the power arm and the energy part."

Wang Shui came to the mechanical exoskeleton and drew a new alchemy array with red ink at the end of the steel structure protecting the spine. The array was quite simple.

Putting on the mechanical exoskeleton and feeling his body being fixed, Aqua Regia controlled the tentacle-like power arm to extend, grabbed the ground in the distance, and then pulled himself over, feeling like Doctor Octopus with two tentacles.

Great strength, but poor flexibility.

"Without the [Muscle Strength Module], the frame cannot provide leap-forward strength and speed." Sylvia reminded.

"It doesn't matter, I just need the effect of the active exoskeleton to increase strength, share the load, and help me move things."

"Energy? There's no [energy module] on it?"

Wang Shui snapped his fingers: "This has to mention the strange place in this world. The energy required for the alchemical reaction here is not provided by alchemists, but by the energy of the earth's crust. Alchemists are the cornerstone. , is the cornerstone for building a knowledge framework and providing spiritual guidance.

Therefore, the alchemical formations in this world do not need to be drawn with spiritual materials. An ordinary piece of chalk is enough. The corresponding formations and words are combined into knowledge, and then the spirit of the alchemist is ignited to trigger the energy of the earth's crust, and alchemy is activated. "

"So your mechanical exoskeleton uses the energy of the earth's crust? Is it an infinite energy source?"

"It's not just me. The mechanical armors in this world all use a kind of sustainable alchemy array as energy supply. Its structure is like a cylindrical battery, with the alchemy array, text and buffer materials sealed inside. It is very durable. I It’s just that the alchemy array is drawn directly outside, because the energy cost for the mechanical armor technicians is too expensive.”

Wang Shui was quite proud that he learned and cracked this technique in just two days.

"So why don't you do it during the day?"

Sylvia didn't buy Wang Shui's results. Wang Shui skipped her carefully prepared combat teaching class. Sylvia felt that this guy was just lazy.

"Don't worry, it's not finished yet. We made the mechanical exoskeleton to save some effort."

Next, Wang Shui continued to move things into the alchemy array, while also modifying the words and patterns in the alchemy array. He worked for two hours. The square was filled with various materials, including glass, plastic, rubber, leather, Artificial sponges, a lot of steel and aluminum alloys, etc., the prices of these materials are not cheap.

"Such a wonderful sense of creation." Wang Shui said, clasping his hands together to practice it again, and soon, a big black guy appeared in the square.

"[Desert Cat Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle]?! You can even rub this thing out?!" Sylvia was really shocked this time.

"It's just a shell. I removed the turret and machine gun, and placed the 40mm cannon under the baffles on both sides. I haven't even mixed the ammunition yet. Just making this armored body is laborious enough. My mind is buzzing now. of."

Wang Shui said he was dizzy, and he quickly entered the chariot. The size of the vehicle was reduced by him, and now it looked like just a large off-road vehicle with a cool appearance.

In the cab, there are two large seats in the front, and a hollowed-out car body in the back. Without the turret, many supporting structures are missing, making the back much more spacious.

There are no electronic devices on the center console, leaving only some holes. Wang Shui was not in the mood to make original circuits, he just left space for subsequent additions.

"It's too troublesome to always rent a car. Buying a car in this world is crappy and expensive. How about building one yourself?"

"It's really good, but the interior is too stupid, with edges and corners everywhere."

"It... can still be decorated." Wang Shui was a little embarrassed, and the details were indeed lacking.

"Does this car also use earth crust energy?" Sylvia did not find the familiar energy module.

"For the time being, we will improve it later. The power of the alchemy array that provides energy is limited, and the efficiency of converting mechanical energy is not high. Moreover, the alchemy array requires an alchemist to activate it, and it will also suffer losses. Most vehicles in this world still need to burn fuel. , this car will also need to be equipped with other energy sources in the future.”

"Can I drive it?"

"It should... be possible? You should be able to use my alchemy passive, why don't you try it?"

Half an hour later, Sylvia was driving on the wilderness, and the road gradually disappeared from her sight, so she went back in a circle. Wang Shui saw her rare happiness and didn't say anything more, letting her feel good about driving. Just think of paying teachers a salary.

Building a car is just an episode in a peaceful life. The house is built little by little, and the aqua regia is also accumulated little by little.

Half a month ago, Sylvia raised questions about the slow physical progress of aqua regia. After the two of them studied together, they found that it was an unchangeable bloodline problem. The talent of aqua regia affected the effects of some traditional medicines. After that, it was a matter of re-examination. The design exercise is not too different.

"I didn't expect that I would be able to build up a body so slowly. However, my original body only acquired a higher level of human genes and quickly reached its peak without changing the bloodline."

Sylvia didn't complain much in her emotion. At least torturing her body was quite fun for her, especially torturing other people's bodies.

Wang Shui also suddenly expressed emotion:

"Pure-blood primitive human beings, alas, I don't know what the use is... Suddenly I remembered a colleague who likes Warhammer. He seemed to have mentioned pure blood or something. Unfortunately, the circle is too small. I wonder if Dump Truck has given him a chance to be reborn. Chance."

"What is a warhammer? What is a dump truck?"

"Warhammer is a big fantasy world. Even if I could encounter it, I don't want to go to that Galaxy of Despair. It's full of all kinds of war-mad aliens, especially green-skinned orcs and Zerg that are running around and eating. Just think about it. Horrible. As for the dump truck, it was the blessing of the dump truck that allowed me to live in this life again. In my hometown, the dump truck is a symbol of faith."

"I've never heard of such a bloody belief. Aren't space orcs and zerg everywhere?"

Siviya's words made Aqua Regia stand up straight.

"What are you talking about! There are also green-skinned orcs and Tyranids in the main world?!"

"There are, but they are not just green orcs. Their fur has many colors. Some of the various animal characteristics are obvious, and some are more like humans." Sylvia also constructed some images of cat people.

"Oh, Fury, I'm shocked. The orcs I'm talking about are a bunch of fungus idiots who think about fighting all day long."

The relieved Aqua Regia lay back on the stone floor. Burning pain and cold healing sensations were felt throughout his body, and the simple herbs were taking effect.

"The Zerg race is not called Tyranid. Each of their races has its own name, which is the name of [Hive Mind]. The Hive governs each tribe. Each of their individuals has only a simple consciousness and only high-level consciousness. Commanders have richer thoughts."

"It sounds almost done. Does it still have the ability to evolve at a high speed and reproduce quickly? It's full of thoughts of plundering, devouring, and evolving. It's individually strong. It can kill everyone it sees and eat it after it's killed."

"Well, it's almost the same, but it's not crazy. At least our allies won't be hacking randomly."

"Wait, allies? Insects are allies with us?! Will this thing form an alliance with humans?" Wang Shui stood up and sat up again.

"Did I say we represent humanity?"

Sylvia's tone suddenly became sinister:

"Ha, just kidding, you are actually nervous. We do not represent any race, we are just part of the system, and the system is providing mercenaries to various battlefields, but some of the customers happen to be Zerg."

"Suddenly, I feel that the future is very scary..." Wang Shui slowly fell to the ground again, "I didn't expect to hear such breaking news after just chatting about pure blood, and suddenly I don't want to work hard."

"Why? Many people in the system like the Zerg race? Especially the Zerg race that has assimilated the genes of [Zero Abyss Succubus] and basically lost the characteristics of the Zerg race, so they are very popular."

"Well, don't confuse me with that crowd, I hate bugs, I hate carapace, arthropods, and serrated beaks."

"But not Zerg? Zerg is just a term translated from ancient times. Their ancestors were some giant beasts with collective thinking. They were called Zerg after gaining chitinous carapace and extraordinary evolutionary ability. Moreover, due to the compatibility of Zerg, There is no reproductive segregation of any race, and there is a lot of diversity in appearance.”

"I love Insect Girl!" Wang Shui raised his right arm vigorously and waved to the sky, "Is there an image of Insect Girl?"

Sylvia just responded with a look of contempt, the gag was over, and Aqua Regia continued to exercise.

According to Sylvia's design, the process of exercising should be completed by aqua regia as much as possible. Understanding the limits of the body and mastering the skills of using the body cannot be replaced by others.

In addition to physical fitness, Wang Shui also needs to practice shooting and special mecha maneuvering techniques.

It has to be said that the one-on-one teaching from the fifth-level boss is much better than Wang Shui's alone guessing. In just over a month, Wang Shui not only reached "4" in [Physical Strength] attribute, but also mastered Three new skills!

[Shooting Skills (Intermediate)],

[Practical Mecha Combat Technique·No School (Intermediate)],

[Equivalent Alchemy (Intermediate Level)].

The first two were taught well by Sylvia. As for the equivalent alchemy in this world, it is Aqua Regia's own ability.

These skills are not intermediate level after being acquired, but are slowly improved after Wang Shui's hard training. Not only these new skills, Wang Shui's [Martial Arts Foundation] and [Alchemy Foundation] have also been upgraded to the intermediate level.

Sylvia expressed her affirmation of Wang Shui's learning ability: "Although your talent is terrible, the learning ability you bring is pretty good."

It's just that while Wang Shui was happy to grow, he also began to think about making money.

His current income as a freelance engineer is not low, but he has to build a house, buy various experimental materials, and consume medicinal herbs, so he has to put food plans on his agenda.

It's time to touch Hohenheim.

I don’t really want to talk about the financial system in the world of steelmaking, but this is something that actually needs to be considered. You can just read it according to the prices I wrote, because the original work is story-driven and does not have detailed settings.
