Chapter 42

The lack of internet will indeed make people lose a lot of fun in life, but at the same time, it also reduces interference and temptation, making it easier for people to concentrate.

Especially considering that the mainland common language of the Leiwateleisi Continent is not easy to learn, Mali indeed needs to be more focused.

It is a bit like Latin, or Indo-European, highly inflected, and complex in grammar.

There are six tenses alone, four conjugation methods for verbs, and the person and quantity changes of the subject will also affect the word ending. At least at the introductory stage, the difficulty is full.

However, this complex grammar is not without benefits. It is indeed more precise in expression. And the current vocabulary is not large. Once you survive the most difficult initial learning period and master the rules of declension, there will be a leap forward later.

Of course, what Mali likes most is Lievre's alchemy class.

Alchemy is an important branch of magic. In the beginning, the practitioners who had just awakened their magic power would only manipulate this mysterious power by chanting spells.

To this day, many mages still insist on casting spells with their physical bodies (the magic wand is just a medium they use to communicate with magic elements). They devote themselves to the study and research of magic day and night, honing themselves, in the hope of mastering more and stronger magic.

The best among these people are often famous for their powerful destructive power comparable to dragons, and are the combat power ceiling of the Leiwateleisi Continent.

But in the development of magic, there are also some people who are tired of the endless pursuit of individual power and turn their interest to the research of objects, hoping to use magic to benefit ordinary people, or just simply because they are short of money.

In short, these people then embarked on the road of refining magic items, which is the alchemist of today.

Due to the vigorous development of alchemy, they even separated a separate Alchemist Association from the Magic Association.

But it needs to be explained that there is no very clear boundary between mages and alchemists. Mages can refine magic potions and draw rune magic arrays, and alchemists usually also learn some useful small spells.

However, human energy is limited after all. Few people can achieve success in different directions, especially the deeper the research, the more they need to make trade-offs.

Mali, as a modern person, actually understands this very well. Looking at various Nobel Prize winners, you can find that their research fields are often very subdivided. Besides, don't alchemists themselves divide into different schools?

However, what surprised Mali was that the Fusion School seemed to really exist in history. When he first heard this idea, he thought it was just some crazy alchemist's distorted fantasy about modern technology.

Just like Lievre's funny bicycle.

But after listening to the old alchemist's detailed explanation of the history of the Fusion School and the basic principles of fusion alchemy, Mali had to admit that this idea was crazy, but in this world where magic exists, the feasibility didn't seem to be a problem.

In fact, there are alchemists who still master fusion alchemy on the Leiwateleisi Continent today, but the number is very small, and it can be counted with two hands.

And according to the records in a broken ancient book in the Turtle Back Library, the Fusion School once had more than 10,000 alchemists at its peak. This number far exceeded the sum of all alchemy schools on the Leiwateleisi Continent today.

They joined hands about 6,000 years ago to create a golden age belonging to alchemy.

But then, because of some unknown reasons, that civilization was almost completely destroyed overnight, causing the Fusion School to suffer heavy losses, and the inheritance was almost interrupted.

The most fatal thing among them was the lack of 【Principles】.

【Principles】 are the foundation of the Fusion School. Only when alchemists know the 【Principles】 can they purify 【Concepts】 from one item and integrate them into another item.

Otherwise, purification will become very difficult and uncontrollable.

Mali thought at the beginning that the disappeared alchemy civilization was the modern world he once lived in, but now he is wavering again.

And although 6,000 years sounds like a long time, it is obviously not enough to make the earth change so much.

He compared the map he bought at the market with the map of Henan and found that even the positions of mountains and rivers were different.

This gave him a glimmer of hope in his heart. Perhaps one day he could really find other missing people.

However, for now, he decided to temporarily focus on making money, while working hard to build the road and learning language and alchemy knowledge, preparing for the next trip.

Time unknowingly reached the third month. Because Mali realized the difficulty and lowered the standard in time, his road-building plan went quite smoothly and was almost coming to an end.

And there was more than one good news. He also had a clue about the car he wanted to change.

Since he was preparing to run business, Mali naturally hoped that the load of the new car could be higher than the G300p, and at the same time, it would be best to have good off-road capability.

After all, there is no highway for him to drive outside, and he will encounter extreme weather such as rain, wind, and even mudslides, ice and snow. The passability and reliability of the vehicle must be able to withstand the test.

Finally, it would be better if the fuel consumption could be lower, but this is actually a bit contradictory to the off-road capability, and Mali doesn't force it.

In view of the above points, he naturally placed his eyes on trucks, especially heavy trucks.

However, the civilian trucks that can be seen on the road are basically priority for economy.

The companies and individuals who buy trucks are mostly for the purpose of making profits. Cheap, fuel-efficient, and durable are their core demands, and the usage scenarios also revolve around intercity transportation. Therefore, these trucks almost do not have off-road capabilities and cannot adapt to the harsh environment of the Watereisi Continent.

In contrast, engineering trucks require higher body strength and off-road performance because they have to undertake work such as earthwork transportation and mining.

Among them, the first thing Mali thought of was a fire truck. He found a heavy water tank foam fire truck in the municipal fire brigade, which used a German man's 6×4 chassis, and the maximum horsepower could reach 430.

However, on the night before Mali planned to drive it back to the auto repair shop, he found another big guy beside a detached villa by the river.

That was a motorhome, but unlike ordinary motorhomes, it had eight wheels, more than a fire truck, the car length exceeded ten meters, the width was close to 2.6 meters, and the height reached an astonishing four meters.

Compared with it, the G300p looked like a small cat.

Especially in the Red Mist where visibility is not high, when Mali saw its looming outline, he indeed had a feeling of facing a steel behemoth.

This motorhome was also modified based on the man group's chassis, but it was an 8×8 TGA chassis. This is a classic military chassis, which once served as the main military truck of the West German Federal Defense Force, used to transport missile supplies.

And 8×8 means that its eight wheels are all drive wheels, possessing stronger off-road and de-trapping capabilities compared to ordinary trucks.
