(5800, Second Update) 682: Chapter 618: A Brand New “Kai Zi” Makes an Appearance!

(5800, Second Update) As Master Gossay said, the Imperial Military keenly sensed the value of Ian’s Efficacy Potions, and at that time, they planned to discuss a collaboration and investment with Ian.

He could obtain a generous fund from the Imperial Military, but he was also required to study several potions of extreme efficacy designated by the military.

But this realization was merely a sharp instinct.

When Tres’s squad used Ian’s Ultimate Magic Weapon Potion and slaughtered their way into Azure City almost without a single injury, completely disarming or even annihilating Viscount Awak’s Knight Order, the Firestone Group, upon hearing this news, immediately confirmed that the technological value Ian held was much greater than they had previously imagined.

Very much so.

Think about it, how powerful would an agent spy be who can carry various enhanced states for over twelve hours, or even twenty-four hours, and perform long-duration covert sabotage missions?

Many potions seem unusable simply because their effective duration is too short.

Take the Optical Camouflage Elixir, for example, which can achieve an even stronger effect than invisibility, but lasts only a short half-hour.

Yes, for critical infiltration missions where precise application matters, half an hour is enough…

but what if it could last more than ten hours?

Wouldn’t that make the mission much easier, even like entering a land with no one in it?

What if it lasted twenty-four hours?

And what if the invisible agent was also carrying an unclear number of BUFFs?

Although even Ian couldn’t guarantee this result, just the possibility made the Firestone Group, which recently recognized the superiority of special operations in espionage, willing to grant Ian a large investment for his research.

“The first batch of cooperative development research funding is 15,000 Talle.

There are no strings attached, Mr.

Ian, this is merely our optimistic view of the future of Efficacy Potions,” said Baron Yier with a smile, revealing a figure that made him seem very amiable and approachable: “In addition, we would like to ask a question…

Whether the Origin Structure of the Ultimate Magic Weapon Potion could be attempted to interface with the Alchemy Furnace Core of an Armor Suit?”

The young man with white hair immediately took another look at Baron Yier, feeling that he was quite polite, friendly, and amiable.

Fifteen thousand Talle…

In the recent month he had been in the Imperial Capital, including the funds supported by the Boleyn Workshop and others, he had amassed only about two thousand Talle.

This was already considered spending like water, and even with the support of a workshop, a few hundred Talle a month was enough for an Alchemist to conduct many experiments, as not everyone was dealing with high-end precision industries.

Beyond that, from Baron Yier, Ian sensed the smell of an easy mark.

Baron Yier, who was treated as an easy mark, was completely unaware.

Essentially, cooperative development meant buying patent production rights from Ian’s hands.

Considering the favor of the Ellen Family, his offer was quite fair: “…Our Alchemists have analyzed that theoretically, it is achievable, but there are still several technical difficulties.

We would like to know the thoughts of Mr.

Developer.”

“Of course,” Ian pretended to ponder for a moment before giving an affirmative answer, looking at the Talle’s sake: “The key principle of the Efficacy Potion is to expand the source of the potion’s energy, whether it be the human body, natural Origin Quality, or even the Alchemy Furnace Core, all are feasible.”

“But the latter, after all, is an inanimate object, unlike a human that can self-regulate, so if you want to make a potion that can connect with an Armor Suit, it requires a specialized design.”

“Moreover, if successful, the duration of the potion might be extremely long…

Even forty-eight hours are not impossible.”

“If so, it would indeed be a great fortune.” With the affirmative answer, Baron Yier’s eyes brightened.

To enhance an Armor Suit with a potion might seem strange—Humans need potions as a temporary measure precisely because they can’t just add parts to themselves at will.

If one truly desires the effect of Demonic Weapons, why not just create a reinforced weapon directly?

That’s the theory, but cost and design complexity are also issues.

For instance, if you want a Demonic Weapon circuit that can be powered at will, you would need to add an extra module to the Armor Suit, and this module must not conflict with other circuits; it has to occupy a critical position, yet its effectiveness is not worth it.

Then there’s the question of whether it’s more expensive to manufacture a batch of inscribed etching bullets as shield-penetrating weapons, or to produce a batch of Demonic Bullet Elixir Coatings, store them inside the Armor Suit to maintain their effect, and simply soak them before firing when needed?

Such consumables don’t need to maintain stability for a long time—even if only five out of ten bullets are effective, it’s still a win.

For another example, if you want Sky Armor to ignore inertia during movement, it requires fundamental design changes, and you end up with a reconnaissance model capable of high speeds but not the combat power as one would imagine.

But if you have the support of the ‘Supreme Wind Blessing Elixir’, combat models of the Sky Armor could also have the maneuverability of high-speed models for a considerable amount of time!

As for the duration possibly not lasting as long as other potions…

Anyway, if Armor Suit combat can exceed four hours, it’s considered extremely long-term combat.

Not to mention, the cruising time of the Alchemy Furnace Core isn’t that long either.

The reason nobody considered such technology before was mainly because the duration of the potions was too short, and half an hour or several minutes of effect might just have allowed one to fly out of their own battle zone, let alone undertake prolonged strategic missions behind enemy lines.
