  Chapter 180 Technical Test

  The on-site teaching with the assistant of Vikas gave Duke finally the most intuitive understanding of card making, which is much more difficult than repairing cards.

  The repair card is just a repair of the details, just like repairing a car.

  Card making includes design and R&D, just like manufacturing a car completely, the difficulty is not at the same level at all.

   "The card material is different every time, so every time you make a spirit card, it's like a brand new adventure." Assistant Vikas holds the psychic pen, draws and engraves the last energy line, and presses the energy line into the card material to perfectly connect with the beginning energy line.

in this way.

   A 1 Ring Spirit Card-Chu Spirit Card is basically completed, and the rest is the packaging cover.

   "It seems to have no technical content, just a thin and light card. In fact, all technical content is in the minds of our card makers."

  Vikas handed the spirit card to Duke.

  Duke quickly injected a bit of spiritual energy to activate the spell model in this spirit storage card, confirming that it was a successful spirit storage card.

   "Congratulations Daozhu, you have successfully earned 15 silver dragons."

  Duke has run a card repair shop before, so he naturally knows that a 1-ring storage card is priced at 15 silver dragons on the market, which is not cheap for ordinary people.

    Assistant Vikas shook his head: "It's only sold for 15 silver dragons, making it is a waste of time for me."

   "It seems that the card makers don't like making this kind of civilian cards?" Duke asked.

   "Of course, the price of civilian cards can even be as low as 1 silver dragon. Any ambitious card maker will not waste energy on this."

   "Then what are the civilian cards on the market made of? They can't be handed over to spiritual apprentices, right?"

   "You have repaired many spirit cards before, why don't you guess how these civil cards are produced from the situation of these civil cards themselves?"

  Director Vikas smiled and asked Duke a question.

  Duke thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up: "You mean, the arcane masters behind the joint card shop have a technology for mass-producing civilian cards?"

  On the civilian card he repaired, he could find some very similar energy lines, as if they were reproduced from the same mold.

   "That's right, a very powerful technology. It is this technology that has changed the pattern of spirit cards and allowed civil cards to enter thousands of households." Vikas highly praised this technology. "Psionic resonance memory, through resonance, allows a large amount of spiritual energy to be output simultaneously with the card maker."

  In short, spiritual resonance memory means that when a card maker makes a spirit card, he will have a set of equipment to record his spiritual energy at all times, and then copy his movements to complete the production of the spirit card in a unified format.

  Duke understood it, and asked in doubt: "The card materials are different, and the spiritual distribution is also different. How to adapt to the unified mode of spiritual energy output?"

   "I haven't seen this technology, but the instructor is a consultant of the United Card Shop. He has seen this technology. First, the card materials can be manufactured uniformly to ensure that the spiritual distribution is roughly the same, and then handed over to the spiritual apprentices to check the spiritual distribution and select card materials with the same layout..."

  United card shops have almost monopolized the low-end smart card market in major cities, especially civilian-use smart cards, which are basically produced by United card shops.

  They need to produce a large number of civilian cards, so among the large number of card materials, it is easy to gather a batch of card materials with the same spiritual layout.

  When it is handed over to the card maker to draw, it can draw and engrave a large number of spell models at one time by using psionic resonance memory.

  The more card materials you have, the more spiritual cards you can engrave at one time, and the higher the value of spiritual resonance memory.

   "So you understand, the card makers cultivated in small places will either be eventually recruited by the United Card Shop, or they can only take the high-end route to make arcane cards, and they are high-level arcane cards."

  Vikas smiled, and continued: "Making a 2-level card is more profitable than making dozens of 1-level cards... The more complex the spell model, the higher the requirements for the spiritual distribution of the card material, and it is difficult to slowly meet the needs of the spiritual resonance memory technology."

  With a smug expression, Vikas said flauntingly: "So even if the joint card store monopolizes the entire low-end spirit card market, we card makers can still live a good life relying on high-end cards alone."

"I see."

   "Okay, today we will teach the making of these basic cards. Don't underestimate these technologies, it's enough for you to study for a long time." Vikas said, feeling inexplicably. "As for the slightly more complex spirit cards above the basic cards, each technology requires years of hard work!"

  …

   What Vikas taught was only the most basic spirit card making technology.

   There is no need for additional spiritual materials as raw materials for the energy line, and only the arcanist's own spiritual energy can be used to complete the production.

   "It doesn't sound too difficult, right, Xiaoyi." Duke returned to his office and applied for a set of card making equipment.

  The most important ones are card material tomography machine and pressure ring instrument.

   "Master, Xiaoyi needs simulation experiments to determine the technology of making spirit cards. Isn't it very difficult?"

   "Then let's try it."

  Duke took out a blank spirit card, to be precise, it was just a card material.

  Put it into the card material tomography machine, and quickly scanned the distribution of spirituality in it. At the same time, Xiaoyi also built a 3D image of this card material in the spiritual sea.

   And start to mobilize the power, and calculate how to draw and engrave the spell model on the card material.

  But soon, Xiaoyi sent a feedback: "There is not enough calculation data, and you need to conduct an experiment on the card material yourself."

   "Well, can't relying on calculations alone?" Duke was a little surprised.

  Before making the cards, he read all the books related to card making that he could find on the market, and entered them into Xiaoyi's database.

  Although these books do not record the real card-making technology, there are quite a few elaborations on spell models.

  Especially the skills and principles of drawing and engraving spell models, Xiao Yi has long been proficient.

   "Master, the combination of card materials and rings requires more actual operation data to determine the optimal solution for making spirit cards."

   "I understand, let's try it."

  Duke put the blank spiritual card into the ring presser, started the machine, held a psychic pen, and began to follow Xiaoyi's experimental steps to draw and engrave the first energy line.

   Not as skilled as Daozhu Vikas.

  But with the help of the projection of the vindictive holographic screen, his writing speed is not slow, after all, it is just drawing and engraving energy lines. When I was in the project research group, I don't know how many spell models I painted and carved, and I almost formed a kind of muscle memory.

  When he drew and engraved the third energy line, the energy line compressed into the card suddenly flickered for a moment, and then shattered.

   When Kacai was also shattered by this energy line, the released spiritual energy melted a scorched trace.

   "Failed, master." Xiaoyi's tone of feedback carried a trace of human loss.

   It is not that Xiaoyi has human emotions, but that after the computing power is improved, it can imitate human emotions better.

   "It's okay, come again!" Duke didn't care.

  The cost of the card material is only a dozen or so copper coins. If it is broken, he will just throw it away. He doesn't even plan to repair it.

  A new spirit card, put it into the ring presser.

  The instrument starts up, and the vindictive holographic screen continues to project and draw the path of energy lines on it. All Duke needs to do is to easily draw a new energy line according to the projection position.

   One energy line after another is compressed into the card material.

  Until an error occurs in a certain link, the energy line melts down quickly and burns a part of the stuck material.
