Lin Yang looked at the first step in making the jade slip, the first refining room in the jade slip workshop - the refining room for the array disc. The array disc used in the message jade slip was a circular disc with a radius of two meters.
This is the result of nearly ten thousand years of continuous optimization. When it was first created, the radius of the array disk reached ten meters. With the continuous optimization of the array, the radius of the array disk was gradually reduced to the current two meters.
"How can I optimize this formation? I'm not a formation master!!"
“A large number of formations are required in weapon refining. It’s not just formation masters who are proficient in formations, weapon refiners also need to be proficient in formations.
The system provides an initiation-style learning method. Depending on the level, it only requires a different amount of merit points.
The price list is as follows:
Formation Studies:
Getting Started (1 Merit),
Proficiency (10 Merit),
Mastery (100 Merit),
Professional (1000 Merit Points),
Grandmaster (Merit Points)."
"I just need to learn the art of formation to improve the formation plate? What level do I need to reach? How should I do it specifically?"
"For example: if you want to improve the radius of this array by one meter
Formation, Mastery Level. Spend 100 Merit Points to master this formation. Spend another 100 Merit Points to gain an Improvement Plan.
Formation, Expert Level. Spend 10 Merit Points to master this formation. Spend another 10 Merit Points to gain an improvement plan.
Formation, Grandmaster level. Spend 1 Merit to master this formation. Spend another 1 Merit to gain an improvement plan.
Lin Yang analyzed
"So this is the guidance. Professional knowledge plus specific formations and plans? Does this count as my research?"
"The host can completely learn and research it on his own. If the host has reached the Grandmaster level in array formation, it will only take a short time to complete the research on shrinking this type of array disk."
"Grandmaster level requires Merit Points, and I don't have that many. The cheapest option in the plan costs 300 Merit Points, which I can't redeem... Forget it, let's look at the next procedure."
The next step is to refine the jade slip. The difference between this place and the previous one is that there is a person in charge of explaining it. The person in charge explains to Lin Yang
"This is the Jade Refining Room. To put it bluntly, jade is simply earth. The Jade Refining Room uses the refining method to transform earth into jade slips. However, the higher the quality of the jade slip, the longer it takes to be produced, and the lower the probability of its occurrence.
Young Master, please take a look. This furnace can produce 10,000 jade slips, but only about 3,000 are qualified. Of these, 1,200 are ordinary text-based jade slips, 800 are graphic-based jade slips, 400 are audio-visual jade slips, 200 are video-based jade slips, and 200 are all other special jade slips.
Among them, the one used to make the jade slips for transmitting messages is this, the Yin-Yang Heart-Connecting Jade Slip. There are only twenty of them, or ten sets, available.”
"Yin Yang Heart-Connecting Jade Slips." Lin Yang looked at the black and two-colored jade slips handed to him by the 'person in charge'. After listening to the explanation of the 'person in charge', he realized that the jade slips were actually made of soil.
Everything here is really magical, and it once again refreshed Lin Yang's inherent impression of a weapon refiner. After regaining his composure and calming down, Lin Yang looked at the boiler in front of him and asked,
"How long does it take to refine this furnace?"
"Different jade slips require different refining times. Unqualified jade slips are ready on the first day. The lowest-grade qualified ones, the text jade slips, only take about three days, the graphic jade slips take about a week... and the last one, the Yin-Yang Heart Jade, takes about three months."
"Three months, ten groups?" Lin Yang frowned and muttered to himself
"It's not low anymore. At the beginning, it took a year to refine a single jade slip containing only text. It took us 30,000 years of research and development and improvement to achieve our current level of success."
"Well, I understand." Lin Yang touched his nose embarrassedly, thinking
'The person who was in charge of the explanation felt like a real person.'
Just as I finished thinking, the 'person in charge' was as still as a stone statue. The system page popped up.
“Material Science:
Getting Started (1 Merit),
Proficiency (10 Merit),
Mastery (100 Merit),
Professional (1000 Merit Points),
Grandmaster (Merit Points)."
Lin Yang saw that the merit points required for learning the formation were the same, so he asked
"I want to improve the yield and time of Yin-Yang Tongxin Jade Slips. What's the price?"
"Specific data."
"Let's take the yield rate, for example. How many merit points would it take to double it?"
"Materials, Mastery Level. Consume 100 Merit Points to master the refining of jade slip materials. Consume another 100 Merit Points to obtain an improvement plan.
Materials Science, Expert Level. Spend 10 Merit Points to master the refining of jade slip materials. Spend another 10 Merit Points to obtain an improved solution.
Materials Science, Grandmaster Level. Consume 1 Merit Point to master the refining of jade slip materials. Consume another 1 Merit Point to obtain an improvement plan.
Lin Yang compared it with
“It’s the same as the formation!”
“Because the increase is doubled.”
Lin Yang saw that it was indeed true. If the array disk shrunk from two meters to one meter, wouldn't that be half the size? This was the same as the price of the jade slips being doubled in yield.
Lin Yang began to understand the bidding rules of the system.
This won’t work either, the merit points are not enough.
"Next. The Jade Slip Processing Room."
The jade slips were processed on the same assembly line that Lin Yang had seen that day. Passing one jade slip to another, a team of people quickly completed the refining of a jade slip.
This is the largest jade slip workshop of the Lin family. It is not only a workshop for producing high-end message jade slips, but also a workshop for producing jade slips of all grades of the Lin family.
From the cheapest text-carrying jade slips to the most expensive message-carrying jade slips, jade slips vary in grade and their production ranges from simple to complex.
Especially the refining of the message jade slips actually requires twins to process the Yin-Yang Jade Slips simultaneously, as if two people were facing a mirror.
Lin Yang was amazed.
"Today I finally know the true colors of a weapon refiner."
The person in charge replied
"Master, weapon refiners are divided into processing refiners and research and development refiners. A noble like you is a research and development refiner. You don't need to learn these processing techniques."
"I understand. Please tell me about the making of the Jade Message Slip."
"Young Master, the Jade Message Slip is the exclusive secret of our Lin family. Other families don't have it. However, the successful creation of the Jade Message Slip requires very strict selection and skills from the refiner. The success rate is about 30%."
"Did three out of ten groups succeed?"
"Yes, twins are easy to find. We have a special nursery for this. The key is synchronization. Training this technique is extremely difficult. It takes about three to ten years for gifted twins to become apprentices! The remaining 80% will not be able to become apprentices within ten years. The family will not train them anymore, and they will be eliminated as ordinary jade slip refiners."
"Is it so difficult to train this skill?" Lin Yang sighed when he saw these twins.
