Chapter 2257: The Secret of Psionic Creation
Next, Xia Duo conducted multiple experiments on "Nuofu Iron," mainly to determine its elemental ratio, and later, through reverse experiments, he also Huanyuan-ed several substances with similar ratios.
Although none of them were "Nuofu Iron" itself, it could basically be determined that, barring any accidents, this material should be related to Iron.
Although it was not a pure substance, it revealed a strong component of artificial intervention; in other words, the Yimaska people very likely truly mastered a processing method for a cheap Energy-Conducting Material.
Xia Duo felt that continuing to study these specific materials was not actually of much significance; separated by a different system, even if he truly Huanyuan-ed the production process, it would likely be far from the reality used by the Yimaska people.
Moreover, with so many new materials, if he had to conquer them one by one, who knew how long it would take!
The key was to master the methodology; the theory of Psionic Creation for new materials was the Creation Magic System of Yimaska. As long as he mastered this, even if he failed to obtain the preparation methods for these new materials, he might be able to independently research new materials more suitable for himself.
"But what exactly is the Creation Magic System?"
After much thought, Xia Duo took out the armor puppet again, removed a part, and placed it in his palm to observe it carefully. Although he did not believe he could see anything of note this way, even if he wanted to perform destructive experiments right now, he had no way to start.

This was like someone holding an alien piece of black technology and telling him that there was a great secret inside. Everyone knew there was a secret; the key was how to discover the secret within.
Xia Duo carefully examined the black part in his palm. The surface was smooth, without any casting marks like "sprue," and in Magic Vision, it was no different from a normal inanimate object.
The most critical point was that its own aura characteristics did not differ from other parts because it composed the puppet; in other words, this was just an ordinary metal part.
At least from the perspective of the Netheril Magic System, this metal part had nothing special about it.
But clearly, in the Yimaska Creation Magic System, this metal part existed in a state of difference from the other parts composing the puppet; otherwise, why would the puppet malfunction when one part was removed?
This indicated that at least part of the main function was realized through this black part, or rather, this black part bore the role of a carrier for part of the main function.
"I don't believe it!"
Xia Duo dismantled the entire puppet again, then unfolded his Arcane Fire, using the Micro Magic Net of his own Arcane Fire to replace the normal Magic Net environment in the Laboratory. He believed that everything, even if it possessed an internally independent power supply, would inevitably exert an influence on the external Magic Net as long as it existed.
The difference lay in whether these influences were on the surface or potential? Were they obvious or subtle?
Xia Duo did not have direct Perception of the external Magic Net. Although he could achieve it through various Spells, there were still Domains of the external Magic Net he had not yet explored. If the changes were in unknown Domains, Scrying Spells would also be inadequate.
In fact, when he was dismantling the puppet with Niya earlier, he had already quietly tested it, but unfortunately, there were no results.
……
Xia Duo first prohibited all energy flow within the coverage area of the Micro Magic Net; the puppet being in such an environment was almost no different from being in a Magic Net Dead Zone.
The result did not exceed Xia Duo's expectations: this armor puppet could still operate normally!
In other words, it either possessed an independent functional system, or it had buffered enough energy beforehand to use in a special environment.
Which one it was was actually not that easy to verify, because as long as an independent functional system was not a perpetual motion machine, it could be considered as having buffered enough energy in advance.
After thinking for a while, Xia Duo punched it until it fell apart. After it fully recovered, he punched it again, repeating this until the armor puppet recovered for the 26th time, after which it could no longer recover from his punch.
During this process, Xia Duo maintained aura monitoring of this armor puppet the entire time. When it finally could not recover, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
"There really was a change!"
Then he quickly picked out those with changed auras from the large pile of parts. Looking only at the surface, there was indeed no difference from before, but the change in aura was the most obvious difference.
So he randomly selected two from this pile of parts with changed auras and placed them in a normal Magic Net environment. As expected, the auras changed again.
It was just that compared to the very beginning, there were still subtle differences; it seemed that his experiment just now had caused some kind of irreversible damage to the parts themselves.
"Since it's come to this, it doesn't matter if it's damaged or not!"
Xia Duo made up his mind to find the secret of the Creation Magic System and the special Psionic Creation of this system—the Secret Artifact. Thinking of this, he decisively used the Annihilation Light again.
A beam of extremely thin light, almost invisible to the naked eye, flashed by, and the two puppet parts he had placed in the normal Magic Net environment were split in two. Along with their splitting, some free elements were quickly released.
"So that's how it is!"
The moment he saw the cross-section of the parts, Xia Duo truly felt a sense of enlightenment. The cross-section was very flat, and he could clearly see most of the details of the cross-section—
The interior of the part was not a completely uniform structure, but had distinct layered internal details, just like when a human body is cut open, it is all flesh.
But flesh is also divided into fat, fascia, muscle fibers, and even skin, blood vessels, and internal organs can be considered part of the flesh.
And the interior of those two cut-open parts had complex structures similar to muscles. Although it looked like the same material was used, clearly, even if it were the same material, it would be impossible to possess exactly the same function under these circumstances.
The creator doing this could not possibly be for fun or to show off skills, but had a purpose in terms of functional realization.
"So the secret of the Secret Artifact is actually hidden in this internal structure?"
Xia Duo guessed that such a structure might be a manifestation of the Yimaska craftsmen's understanding of the world. To him, it was actually not hard to understand; it was actually similar to technological creations on Earth.
It was just that the armor puppet he had only just begun to dismantle used only one material, and the different layered details inside were realized through the fine-tuning of the material itself, similar to the metal crystal lattice on Earth.
Xia Duo speculated that the internal structure of the Secret Artifact might not be realized through physical means like casting, but very likely through some kind of creation Domain to perform batch fine-tuning of attributes.
Next, if given time, he might be able to slowly figure out the functional realization relationships within the internal structure of the Secret Artifact, but without the most important creation tools, such research appeared overly unsubstantiated.
"So the most important thing is to get the Creation Magic System!"
