The workshop floor split apart, forming countless tiny black cubes that spread out like waves.

Li Ang, who had been squatting, stood up and looked around.

All four walls of the magic box were receding, the ceiling was rising, and the lights in the workshop flickered on and off. Dust fell continuously, and even scorching magma, as red as fire, surged from the corners.

Chai Chai nervously grabbed her owner's hand, ready to run at any moment, to leave this workshop that looked like it was about to explode.

Li Ang patted Chai Chai's hand to reassure her, and continued to calmly observe everything happening in the magic box.

After a long while, the shaking stopped, and the system notification sound for the completed upgrade rang in his ears.

The upgraded Alchemist's Workshop was no longer as dark and cramped as before.

The floor was covered with a layer of clean white tiles of unknown material.

Several openable cross windows had been added to the walls.

The ceiling had embedded strip lights, and ventilation equipment with multiple layers of filters was installed in different corners.

The forging furnace was a whole circle larger than before, and the surface of the shell had many ornate Baroque-style decorations.

The originally exposed rough rivets and screws had also been replaced with more aesthetically harmonious floral decorations.

"This is..."

Li Ang scanned the alchemy workshop, which had expanded more than five times in size. In addition to the forging furnace, there were many new pieces of equipment in the workshop.

Due to the separation of worlds, these devices looked more or less different from similar products on Earth, but based on their placement and the attached warning stickers, Li Ang could roughly guess their uses.

A central experimental platform, a washing table, a reagent rack, a ventilated medicine cabinet,

Several chemical-resistant, rust-proof, corrosion-resistant, and explosion-proof safety storage cabinets,

A drying cabinet, storage cabinets, emergency showers, and so on.

In general, apart from the artistic style, it was no different from a modern ordinary chemical laboratory.

"The storage cabinets are all empty... except for this one."

Chai Chai opened the cabinet doors one by one, took out a glittering silver radial metal from one, and handed it to Li Ang. "What's this?"

Li Ang took the metal and weighed it in his hand, then used alchemy to investigate it, and pondered, "Xuanyuan Shisi Antimony."

"What's that?"

Chai Chai blinked her eyes. "Xuanyuan Sword? The Xuanyuan clan? Eastern alchemy?"

"Xuanyuan Shisi is Regulus, Alpha Leonis, a bright blue-white star, an oblate spheroid, and its actual luminosity is more than two hundred times brighter than the sun."

Li Ang casually explained, "Sir Isaac Newton, the greatest scientist in human history, was obsessed with alchemy. He spent much more time on it than on gravity, and left behind hundreds of pages of alchemy-related manuscripts, but unfortunately most of them were lost in a fire.

Once, he accidentally refined a piece of radial metallic antimony, shaped like a star, and according to the alchemist tradition of corresponding metals to stars, he named it Xuanyuan Shisi Antimony."

"Huh?"

Chai Chai's eyes widened. "Then this thing wouldn't be left behind by Newton, would it?"

"How is that possible."

Li Ang glanced at her. "The decorations on the outside of the magic box don't belong to any artistic style on Earth. Besides, Newton lived to the old age of 85.

He couldn't have been a player with a very high mortality rate, so he couldn't have left metallic antimony in this magic box.

In addition, the alchemy that Newton studied was not the traditional alchemy of empiricism in the eyes of the world, but alchemy in the natural philosophy system based on Boyle's corpuscular philosophy, which is essentially the pre-science predecessor of modern chemistry.

If he had a higher and broader platform, humans might have already flown out of the solar system."

"Oh, oh."

Chai Chai nodded, a little surprised in her heart—this was the first time Li Ang had shown such an admiring or even worshipful attitude.

Perhaps Sir Isaac Newton's personal style, with an intelligence higher than all mankind, seeing all living beings as idiots or slightly stronger than idiots, being able to do academics and be an official, and being black-hearted, treacherous, and ruthless (once personally writing anonymous letters to attack his former confidant Leibniz), was very attractive...

"Now the 'damaged' prefix in the Alchemist's magic box item name has disappeared, and it has been upgraded to perfect quality."

Li Ang stepped forward and knocked on the outer shell of the forging furnace. "The furnace has also been upgraded. Now it can forge excellent-quality equipment and props, and the forging time required has been greatly reduced—

The store's charging standard should be further increased, and more orders can be completed in the future."

"Oh, oh."

Chai Chai nodded. She hadn't been to the plaza and didn't know the specific situation there, but that didn't prevent her from understanding the information that "Li Ang will be able to make more money in the future."

"In addition..."

Li Ang looked to the side of the forging furnace, where a similarly huge, enclosed pulverizer was placed.

The whole was a silver square, with a feeding port and a discharge port.

There were several buttons on the top, namely 60-mesh crushing, 120-mesh pulverizing, 300-mesh superfine pulverizing, and 300-mesh+ ultrafine pulverizing.

【Name: Universal Pulverizer】

【Type: Workshop Facility】

【Quality: Perfect】

【Effect: Fine Pulverization. Input extraordinary items, select pulverization gear, and you can extract materials with extraordinary elements. The materials can be put into the forging furnace for forging.】

【Usage Condition: Pay 1000 game coins each time.】

【Note: Do not pour high-viscosity liquids such as asphalt, explosive substances, radioactive waste, etc. into the feeding port.】

【Note: The quality of the universal pulverizer is determined by the magic box itself.】

【Note: The higher the pulverization accuracy, the longer the pulverization time required, and the less the number of extraordinary elements extracted in the end, but the higher the concentration.】

"This device corresponds to the forging furnace, right? One pulverizes and refines, and the other forges and manufactures."

Li Ang glanced at the specific description of the machine.

It was commendable that the universal pulverizer did not limit the quality of the extraordinary elements extracted.

In other words, even if you put in a perfect-level prop, you can probably obtain the same level of extraordinary material—although no one would take this risk now.

In his inventory, there were several low-level items stored,

Such as the Ming Ye Chang (Night Cloak), Bian Lian Mian Ju (Face-Changing Mask), Xue Chong Qiao Gun (Blood Worm Crowbar), and the like.

These equipment helped him a lot before, but now they have replacements and are not very useful.

It would be a loss to auction them off in the mall, so it's better to pulverize them and re-forge them.

"I'll try it with the Face-Changing Mask later."

Li Ang patted the shell of the universal pulverizer and turned to look at the other two new devices.

【Name: Mechanical Fabrication Table】

【Name: Synthetic Beast Fabrication Table】

The former occupied a huge area, consisting of components such as a surgical table, a workbench, a multi-functional lathe, and a mechanical armor support.

It could analyze the structure of mechanical creations, provide blueprints, and allow users to mass-produce them.

The latter consisted of several huge hollow cylindrical glass containers.

It could analyze, splice, and embed the genes of different creatures to create chimeric synthetic beasts.
