Chapter 3, The Arrival of the Plot

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

First is the spirit, then the array. Among all alchemists, there are only two types of individuals who can perform alchemy without an array. One is those who possess the Philosopher's Stone, like that charlatan from Liol, and the other is beings like Edward who can access the truth. Everyone else must use an array to perform alchemy, even masters like Mustang are no exception.

With the ringing of the doorbell, the routine that had been repeated countless times began anew. Alexander dashed outside, leaping high and bringing the diminutive Edward to the ground. It must be said that Alexander's physique was indeed quite large. Wang Fang opened the door, and Nina poked her head out first, exclaiming, "Wow, so many guests have arrived." "Nina, make sure to tie up the dog," Wang Fang followed suit, welcoming Edward into the house.

Casually tossing the forged battle knife by the window on the second floor, Wang Fang looked down, the scene was about to unfold. A sedan had already parked outside the courtyard, Mastan, Edward, and Alphonse, they had arrived

After a busy afternoon, the report was finally completed, and now all that remains is to submit it tomorrow. Wang Fangmi wonders how the days ahead will unfold after tomorrow. With the completion of genetic modification techniques and countless reincarnations that have honed his swordsmanship, Wang Fang feels no fear towards Scar. Moreover, as a state alchemist currently facing threats, he is not fighting alone.

I sincerely apologize; ever since my wife left, the house has been in complete disarray. Wang Fang said to Edward and his companions while brewing coffee, speaking lies without even drafting a single note.

Subsequently, Wang Fang took Edward and others on a tour of the laboratory, eventually leading them into the documentation room. Thereafter, Edward immersed himself in the sea of books, so engrossed that he could not even hear Mastan's farewell.

Tomorrow is the day to submit the research findings, so Wang Fangzheng is sitting at the desk, writing a research report. However, this time it is not about synthetic beasts, but rather a feasibility study report and experimental results on "Genetic Modification Techniques." In the end, Wang Fang notes that the project currently has a successful case.

Without a strong mental fortitude, everything is mere talk, and it seems that there are no effective methods for training the mind in this world. The only training method depicted in animation is to strengthen one's physical body, thereby fortifying the spirit through rigorous practice. Naturally, this method yields poor results, so whether a person can become an alchemist largely depends on their innate talent

An ordinary alchemist wishes to perform a simple material transformation spell, such as building a snowman from a pile of snow. This is exceedingly simple: a manipulation array for materials, followed by a mental visualization of the transformed object, and then the mental energy drives the array to operate. Thus, the decomposition and reconstruction of matter can be achieved, remaining solely at the material level. However, such a simple array requires a mental energy far beyond that of an ordinary person to operate. Now, what about at the molecular, atomic, or even electronic level? Analysis, decomposition, and reconstruction—analysis alone is impossible, let alone construction.

"It's alright!" Edward said with a curious expression. "However, since you want to witness the true abilities of others, please state your intentions, for that is the way of the alchemist." Wang Fang said with a serious demeanor. "Why are you interested in biological transmutation?" Edward explained everything in detail, including his mother's transmutation, the state alchemists, and he also revealed his mechanical arm.

With a heart full of jealousy, Wang Fang returned to the laboratory. Unlike Edward, who could concentrate and enter a state of focus at any moment, Wang Fang had only achieved this after countless cycles of reincarnation

Will you come again tomorrow? Shota Ka works in the laboratory every day, leaving almost no time to play with Nina. In the past, Nina could only play with Alexander, but today she has the addition of the Edward brothers, making it a rare day of enjoyment and filling her with anticipation for tomorrow

The review day is approaching, remember it. The officer who came to pick up Edward delivered a message from Mastan before leaving. "Review day, what is review day, Dad?"

Once all the guests were seated, Wang Fang brought the prepared instant coffee to the table. "Nice to meet you, Edward. I am the Alchemist of the Philosopher's Stone, Shota Ka." "He is quite interested in biological transmutation and is very eager to learn about your research," Colonel Mustang introduced Edward.

Wang Fang's mental strength is not particularly formidable, after all, he is merely a supporting character, far from being comparable to protagonists like Edward. However, his mental strength is relatively pure, which is also the reason for his development in biological alchemy. This purity signifies a capacity for deeper analysis, thus rearranging carbon atoms is not particularly challenging for him, especially after undergoing countless instillations from the Gate of Truth. His mental power has grown significantly stronger and purer compared to when he first arrived.

In the world of alchemy, alchemical energy is abundant, whether it is through alchemy or the art of pill refining. This energy can come from volcanic eruptions, dragon veins, or other sources. The Gate of Truth fundamentally embodies the law of equivalent exchange, and the actual operation of any alchemy is completed within this framework. If we consider the world of alchemy as a computer, then the gate represents the system program, and the process of alchemy is essentially the process of inputting commands and executing them.

The review date is the qualification review date for national alchemists. Don't worry, Dad will definitely pass. Wang Fang patted Nina's little head. Yes, Dad is working so hard, he will surely pass. Wang Fang smiled and adjusted his glasses resting on the bridge of his nose. He will, he will definitely pass

Alchemy may seem simple, especially when observing the masters in anime, who appear to achieve results effortlessly. However, the reality is far from that. If alchemy were truly easy, there would likely be alchemists everywhere in this world. Yet, in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist, there are very few alchemists who can perform alchemy, and masters are even rarer.

How is it going? Have you found any useful information? Wang Fang wore a broad smile, while Edward, after briefly looking at a book when he first entered, spent the entire afternoon playing with Alexander, and is now being pinned down by Alexander on the carpet. "Let's come back tomorrow!"

The composition of the array consists of two parts: one is the cycle representing decomposition and reconstruction, which is the circle, and the other includes the patterns and texts, which are the formulas for the process of material transformation and equivalent exchange. How does the process of one substance transforming into another occur? This raises the question of where the formulas and patterns representing this process originate, which naturally cannot be separated from the countless explorations of predecessors. Then there is alchemical energy, and finally, the door to truth. How does the process of one substance transforming into another occur?

The formation of an 11-year-old child, the mother? At this moment, Wang Fang could clearly sense the astonishment and jealousy of this body itself. It is not just the body; in fact, how is he any different? A genius is indeed something that ordinary people find difficult to reach
