Chapter 170 Climbing Gloves and Hidden Array (First Update)
Yuzu is an intelligent arcane item.
In the eyes of arcane mages in the Great Arcane Age, arcane props with intelligence are still arcane props.
The arcane research results they made using props belong to the mages, not the props.
Even though the arcane mages of that era had begun to pay attention to the continuation of the Veela population and arcane ethics, no one had ever proposed giving intelligent arcane items the same rights as arcane mages.
No matter how respectful the low-level mages were in front of Yuzu, as arcane mages, they were all authority holders of Lorin Tower, while Yuzu did not even have the most basic authority.
Therefore, although Yuzu can find almost all arcane knowledge below the ninth ring, and although it has helped countless arcane mages complete their arcane research, its name has never appeared in any arcane document.
The creator of the grapefruit, the 31st-level legendary archmage Cecaris Oselton, did not give it.
Neither did Nasri Woland, the senator of the Layton plane, the former master of Yuzu, and the 17th-level arcane mage.
Even Yuzu herself had never thought that it could be named in any article.
But Fang Yu, a low-level mage of only level three, signed it in the article without hesitation.
And they are co-authors on a completely equal footing with Fang Yu.
Without Youzi being prepared at all, Fang Yu gave Youzi the most important right as a scientific researcher - the right to authorship.
To see how important the right of authorship is, just look at how many murderers in Conan were once nameless ghostwriters.
A scientific researcher who successfully obtains the right to authorship on a major article is like a yellow-skinned person who successfully seeks a title. Only after passing this level can he become a human being.
But for Yuzu, the meaning is even more different.
This symbolizes that someone finally recognizes that it is a life, an intelligent life like humans, and not just a tool.
The constantly changing colors and violent flashes of light of the pomelo showed how excited it was at the moment.
There is no true empathy in the world. Similarly, Fang Yu didn't understand why Youzi was so excited.
Fang Yu patted Yuzi and said, "Okay, by the way, have you decrypted the encrypted package that I copied from the wealth system last time?"
Yuzu slowly returned to its normal yellow glow, still dotted with faint pink starlight. "Without a master, this encrypted package is a bit troublesome and very prone to self-destruction. Using the existing algorithm to decrypt it, I calculated it would take at least 5,800 years."
Five thousand eight hundred years?
Wow, this is going to crack from the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all the way to the interstellar era.
That won't work.
"If you want to crack it as quickly as possible, there are only two ways."
"First, we need to develop a more efficient algorithm. However, due to insufficient parameters and too many blank parameters, even if we improve the algorithm's efficiency, it will be difficult to completely crack this encrypted packet in the short term."
"Second, use quantum computers and quantum algorithms to crack the key encrypted information in the matrix encryption method. According to my analysis of this encrypted package, if we use quantum computers to crack it, it may only take a few minutes to crack this encrypted package."
Quantum computer?
This is one direction.
But now I can’t buy a quantum computer at all. It’s not a question of money, but it’s simply not for sale.
There is a company abroad called D-Wave that claims to have launched a commercial quantum computer, but a closer look reveals that the delivery time is two years.
Moreover, D-Wave's quantum computer uses quantum annealing technology, which is mainly used in the field of optimization and is not good at cracking.
D-Wave, D wave, the name of this company tells you that it has a broad mind.
As for the Great Zhou, its development in the field of quantum computers is actually not bad, and it is at the international leading level in many aspects.
But the problem is that it has not been commercialized and is still in the laboratory stage.
"Maybe there's a third way." Fang Yu thought thoughtfully, "Find a way to get a real rune key generator."
Amidst the colorful and confusing light spots on the pomelo, Fang Yu patted the smooth pomelo and said, "The mountaineering equipment has arrived. Let's go and take a look at the top of Mount Omiz."
——
Mount Omiz has a very strange appearance, like a huge tree stump, straight up and down, with a height difference of more than 4,000 meters from the foot of the mountain to the top. This is also the most important reason why it is impossible to fly up there using flying techniques.
In the spell of flying, the concept of a flying altitude of 1,500 meters refers to a distance of 1,500 meters from a flat ground.
This flat ground is not an adjective, but a concept, referring to a place that normal humans can reach with just their feet.
For example, a plateau at an altitude of 3,000 meters can be considered flat, and so can the Everest Base Camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters.
But if you fly up 1,500 meters from the Everest Base Camp at an altitude of 5,200 meters, and reach an altitude of 6,700 meters, and land on a platform that can accommodate people, and want to use the flying technique to take off from the platform again, the flying technique will determine that this is not a flat ground, so you cannot continue to fly upwards, but you can fly levelly.
This kind of conceptual judgment is very common in the arcane system, but it is completely inexplicable from a scientific perspective.
Let’s take Mount Everest as an example. If someone built a winding road along the mountain, and all the places on this winding road can be reached by foot, then if you reach the top and use a flying spell, can you fly another 1,500 meters up?
Whether or not to build a winding mountain road has nothing to do with flying, but it can determine whether flying can be performed here. This completely goes against normal logic and common sense.
For example, if a plane is flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters and a spellcaster jumps out of the plane and uses the fly spell, can he fly level at the same altitude? If the flyer descends, can he fly back to the same altitude?
What is the true nature of the arcane?
Fang Yu once thought that the arcane was just undiscovered science, but as Fang Yu learned more and more about the arcane, he found that this path seemed to be getting further and further away from modern science in essence.
From a distance, Mount Omiz looks like a large straight tree stump, and the circumference of the peak at the foot of the mountain is almost the same as that at the top.
The entire mountain is made of pure granite, bare because there is almost no soil covering it. Only a few small blades of grass occasionally stubbornly emerge from the cracks in the rocks.
The top of the peak is hidden in the swirling clouds, but you can vaguely see that the top of the peak is flat, just like the cross-section of a cut tree stump.
Fang Yu activated the flying technique and flew to an altitude of 1,500 meters. He looked up and chose a position that seemed to have more upward leverage points. He grabbed the leverage points with both hands and then released the flying technique.
At an altitude of 1,500 meters, the temperature was very low, only two or three degrees. The air flow was strong at high altitude, and the cold wind blew on Fang Yu's body, making the Arc'teryx hardshell jacket wrapped around Fang Yu rustle.
After three life essence enhancements, Fang Yu's ability to resist heat and cold has far exceeded that of normal humans. Even in strong winds and low temperatures, a hardshell jacket with a fleece liner inside is enough for Fang Yu.
The only weight on Fang Yu's body was a net bag with grapefruits in it. Everything else was in the Unbounded Messenger, so he could go into battle with absolute ease.
Peak Omiz is very difficult to climb. Its straight up and down shape and very few fulcrums make Fang Yu feel like Monkey King climbing the Galin Tower.
Fang Yu used his ten fingers to hold on tightly to the fulcrum, and pushed downwards. His body jumped up at least two meters. He reached out and firmly grasped the next fulcrum.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
…
If someone looks from a distance, they can see a small black dot rising rapidly from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain on the straight up and down mountain.
After jumping up more than two hundred meters, Fang Yu stopped.
The gloves are torn.
"What Kevlar fiber? It broke after just a few minutes of use. Even DuPont's stuff doesn't work." Fang Yu curled his lips, took off his gloves and threw them away.
"Master, Kevlar is indeed very strong, but your climbing method also needs to take into account the effects of instantaneous tension and the pressure changes caused by the minimum force-bearing area. According to the formula..."
Yuzi started to calculate for Fang Yu how much tensile force Kevlar fiber had to withstand under such circumstances and why it would wear out so quickly.
"Shut up." Fang Yu rolled his eyes and took out a pair of dark green leather gloves from the Boundless Messenger.
This pair of gloves does not look bulky and is also a close-fitting design. The surface of the gloves is covered with a thin layer of metal mesh, and the metal wire has a light golden luster.
The fingers of the gloves are covered with a layer of fine golden scales, and the back of the hand is inlaid with five small gems of different colors, which looks a bit like the Infinity Gauntlet.
Fang Yu put on the gloves and touched the rock wall lightly with his hands. The touch was clear, just like without gloves.
Huh? This clear touch...
What kind of leather are these gloves made of?
Oh, yes, it has nothing to do with leather, it has to do with alchemy.
In this case, haha, Fang Yu came up with a bold idea.
Durex and Okamoto, you are done.
After changing into gloves, Fang Yu jumped up and grabbed a raised fulcrum. The scales on his fingers automatically deformed according to the rock surface they came into contact with, greatly increasing the friction of his fingers. Even if Fang Yu stopped exerting force with his fingers, he could still hang on to the rock wall and not fall.
Fang Yu bought this pair of gloves when he went to the Piedmont Alchemy Company last time. The name is simple and straightforward - Climbing Gloves, and the price is 25 magic crystals.
The leather used for climbing gloves is the outer skin of the claws of the split-tailed lizard, a unique creature in the binary subplane.
The binary star plane has two stars that rotate relative to each other. Under the influence of gravity, the crust of the main planet in the binary star plane moves violently, and is covered with cracks, canyons and peaks.
The split-tailed lizard is an underground creature with strong climbing ability. It can easily move on the rock walls of fissure canyons thousands or even tens of thousands of meters deep to find food on the ground.
These gloves have only two functions: climbing and protection.
After putting on the gloves, no matter what kind of facade you climb, even a mirror without any handholds, the gloves can firmly adhere to it and provide sufficient friction.
At the same time, this glove will also provide a certain degree of protection for the user's hands, preventing injuries to the hands due to cold, friction, impact, etc.
But it is not fireproof.
Fang Yu exerted force with both hands and resumed his upward speed.
Although the height difference of Mount Omiz is only more than 4,000 meters, it is nearly 1,000 meters higher than the height difference of Mount Everest.
Mount Everest is 8,844 meters above sea level, but the Everest Base Camp at the foot of the mountain is 5,200 meters. The height difference from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain is only more than 3,600 meters.
Even with Fang Yu's current superhuman physical fitness and the help of climbing gloves, it took him nearly an hour, with two breaks in between, to climb from the 1,500-meter halfway point to the top of the mountain, which was more than 4,000 meters high.
Fang Yu pushed himself up with both hands and jumped from the rock wall to the top of the mountain.
"Hu! Hu!" Fang Yu took two heavy breaths.
This movement is quite interesting.
Now that my body has been strengthened, normal exercise seems to have completely lost its training effect. Maybe I will really have to go to the Arcane Knight Training Camp in the Lorraine Tower for training every day in the future.
Fang Yu looked around and, just as he saw below, the terrain on the top of the mountain was very flat, like a large square with an area of more than ten square kilometers.
What's more, strangely enough, after climbing to the top of the mountain, you can no longer feel any strong wind around you, as if all the gases here have become lazy.
In the middle of the square is a small hill with a diameter of more than two kilometers and a height of several hundred meters.
Fang Yu walked quickly to the hill and found that this was not a hill at all, but a tomb of bones!
"Hiss~" Fang Yu couldn't help but take a breath. There are so many bones. How many people died here?
No, this bone doesn't seem to be human.
"Crack!" Fang Yu took a step and stepped on a white bone. The bone shattered with a sound, obviously having been weathered for a long time.
"Is this... the bone of a griffin?" Fang Yu picked up a skull from the ground, and could vaguely see the outline of a griffin's head.
Will every dying griffin fly back to Mount Ometz?
Fang Yu threw away the skull in his hand, pondered for a moment, took out Wilder's Doting, and cast a four-ring detection spell.
With the help of the four-ring detection technique, Fang Yu easily discovered the secret of this place.
"Hide the magic circle?" Fang Yu chuckled, "Yuzi, this is your job."
Youzi flew out of the net bag on Fang Yu's waist and began to explore the location of the hidden magic circle.
"That's it, Master. Take the middle value according to the Parasauli formula and then put it into Kedel's theorem. Wait a minute, something seems amiss here! Ah! This insidious Adrian actually secretly used a variant here. It's okay, it's just a matter of one extra conversion step..."
It didn't take long for Yuzu to find a way to break the hidden magic circle.
"Master, please inject 0.45 units of magic power into Node A, 1.11 units into Node B, 0.29 units into Node C, 0.5 units into Node D, 3 units into Node E, and 2.56 units into Node F."
Following Yuzi's instructions, Fang Yu connected the six surrounding magic network nodes in turn and injected different units of magic power into them in reverse.
The moment the injection was completed, Fang Yu felt that the frequency of the six magic network nodes had changed. Then, the scene in front of him shattered like a broken mirror. On the originally empty mountain top, a miniature fortress covering an area of more than 200 square meters suddenly appeared!
"Eighth-ring spell 'Solid Fortress'!" Yuzu exclaimed, then denied her guess, "No, this fortress is too small. A solid fortress must be at least three thousand square meters in area, and it even has a dedicated watchtower. What on earth is this thing?"
With that, Yuzu cast an identification spell on the miniature fortress.
"Adrian's cozy cottage, a fifth-level compound spell from the School of Incantation and the School of Enchantment, optimized for the eighth-level spell 'Solid Fortress' by the greatest genius in all planes—Adrian Akani. Now you understand the gap between you and this genius, don't you? You fools who used the Identify spell."
day!
When Yuzu saw the message transmitted through the identification technique, her eyes instantly glowed red.
You are the fool! Your whole family is a fool!
I am Professor Yorz, the smartest man in the entire plane!
Today is the first day of the college entrance examination. Are there any of my readers taking the college entrance examination?
I noticed that 23% of the readers are between 18 and 25 years old, and another 3% are under 18 years old. There should be candidates among them, right?
I wish you all good luck in your exams. I hope everyone who reads my book can be like Lu Xuechang, score 60 points higher than usual, aim for a 985 university, and secure a 211 university, and get a girlfriend before going to university for military training.
Finally, please vote for me!!! At least let me get into the top 500!
