Evolution:The Bloodthirsty Saga of the Magic Engineer-Chapter 69: Instant Healing Capsule

"Laboratory, the items I can build based on the current knowledge I have in my database!"

The sound of a small "Beep!" filled my head. As always, the cold, emotionless voice of the virtual lab quickly provided me with the information I needed.

["List of available prototypes for construction"]

["1. Recyclable Crystal Lamps"] ["Description: A small jar with a magical crystal inside that glows intensely for 12 hours when activated (great for cave exploration or lighting up spaces). The crystal can be ’recharged’ with basic light magic."]

["2. Echo Box"] ["Description: A device the size of a jar that records a short phrase or sound and plays it back up to three times."]

["3. Mechanical Breath Jar"] ["Description: A small container that, when opened, provides pure oxygen to whoever holds it for up to 5 minutes. Perfect for submerged situations or places with thin air."]

["4. Crystal Tracker"] ["Description: A small device that vibrates or glows when a magical crystal is nearby. Very useful for miners or adventurers searching for crystals in deep caves."]

I scanned the list, and soon, a sense of disappointment washed over me. Although the crystal tracker was practical, I wasn’t interested in creating something so simple with such limited appeal. It was already clear that this kind of product would fit better in a secondary market—something failed acolytes would buy for some kind of value. Wizards, or the true explorer acolytes, would never pay for something so basic. It was on the same level as the cocaine I had created earlier. Not what I was looking for.

I shook my head in frustration and continued swiping the screen before me. My finger moved with precision, ignoring the items that didn’t interest me until, finally, something made my eyes light up with interest.

["63. Instant Healing Capsule"] ["Description: A small device that, when pressed, releases healing energy that accelerates the regeneration process of non-lethal wounds and fatigue, functioning like an instant healing potion."]

That item was perfect. A smile formed on my face. "Yes! This... this is exactly what I need," I murmured to myself. Something like the Instant Healing Capsule had universal appeal. It didn’t matter if the person was an acolyte, a wizard, or even a miner. Everyone would need something like this at some point. Besides, this product would show progress in my skill as an engineer. And that was crucial, especially for the perception Miguel had of me.

"Virtual laboratory, show the creation process."

Instantly, the screen blinked, and the creation process appeared. The information was detailed and clear, efficiently organized to facilitate the build.

["Creation process for the Instant Healing Capsule."]

["The Crystal will be the most important part, as you will need to focus spiritual energy threads on the crystal. After that, the engineer must use precision tools, such as heated tweezers and cutting machines, to shape the crystal in a way that it can be fitted into the device without damaging the energy contained within it."]

["Next, the engineer will engrave healing runes onto the surfaces of the crystal using the heated tweezers. These runes will allow the crystal to release healing energy in a controlled manner, but only when the mechanism is activated."]

["The second step is to create a metal body for the capsule, which will be molded with screws and nails to ensure the parts are securely joined, yet allowing for easy disassembly for maintenance or recharging the healing crystal."]

["The body parts must be tested to ensure the crystal fits properly and that the flow of magical energy is controlled without risk of leakage."]

["In the third step, the engineer will install small precision gears inside the capsule. These gears will be responsible for releasing the magical energy from the healing crystal when the device is activated."]

["Magical steam valves will be connected to these gears. They need to be adjusted to release a gentle stream of magical steam, which will activate the healing magic. The steam will be created when the capsule is compressed or triggered in some way."]

["In the fifth step, using heated tweezers, the engineer must carve activation runes into the metal components and the crystal itself. These runes will determine the timing and intensity of the release of healing energy. Runes like ’heal’, ’flow’, and ’release’ can be used."]

["After following all the steps, the expected effect should be: When activated, the capsule releases a wave of healing energy, quickly restoring a moderate amount of the user’s health. This process takes only a few seconds and can be repeated multiple times, but the device needs to be recharged with new healing crystals after use."]

Satisfied, I issued another mental command. "Emulate the crafting of this instant healing capsule, generating artificial experiences. When I do it, I want to have the experience of a master."

["Beep!"]

["Order received!"]

["Starting learning process with trial and error!"]

["Estimated time: 30 minutes."]

"Perfect," I murmured to myself. "Now continue emulating in the background."

With the order given, the glow of the holographic screen in front of me faded, and with a hand movement, I made the holograms vanish. The display screen was replaced by a more real environment, the silence of the laboratory filling the space as my mind focused on the work.

I got up from the chair and looked around. The first thing I needed was a raw magical energy-conducting crystal, something that would serve as the core for my project. The crystal was crucial, as it would form the base of the Energy Storage Chamber, the heart of the device.

I pulled a greenish-glowing crystal from the shelf and carefully placed it on the table in the center. It was solid, with a translucent hue indicating the purity of its structure, perfect for what I wanted to create.

Next, I went to the materials box and grabbed a few bars of crude copper. Copper was lightweight and highly conductive of energy, essential for the project, and would be used to melt and create the inner coating that would protect the crystal. I placed the bars beside the crystal on the table.

The next step was to gather gears, nails, copper wires, and other metal components. I wanted to assemble a small mechanical control system that would help conduct the energy efficiently and precisely. I went to the parts box and took out gears of various sizes. Some were small and delicate, others were large and sturdy, but all would work together to ensure the capsule released the energy in a controlled manner. I placed everything on the table, creating a small pile of organized components. The work was taking shape.

Soon, I searched for compression springs. These would be used to regulate the pressure inside the capsule, ensuring that the release of healing energy was precise and flawless. After finding a few that fit the size I was looking for, I carefully placed them on the table.

There were still some items to collect. I went to the shelf where the vapor conduction tubes and other auxiliary elements were stored. I placed the vapor conduction tubes on the table with the other materials.

Now, with all the parts on the table, I sat back down in the chair and observed the scene. The emulation was underway, and, while waiting for the 30 minutes required, I let my mind wander through the task ahead.

After the expected time, the voice of the virtual lab finally spoke, soft and impersonal, filling the air.

["Emulation completed successfully!"]

I nodded, satisfied.

"Transfer everything to my mind."

Immediately, a wave of information flooded my consciousness, and my vision blurred for a moment. My head felt heavy, as if an invisible weight was pressing against my temples. The flow of memories and data was so intense that my mind could barely process it all at once.

Breathing heavily, I began massaging my temples with my fingertips, trying to relieve the pain that was forming.

"I hate this feeling," I muttered through gritted teeth, trying to focus. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath once more, trying to calm the whirlwind of thoughts. Slowly, the dizziness began to subside until I regained clarity.

I got up from the table. I took the crystal. With the crystal in hand, I grabbed the copper bars and headed toward the laboratory furnace. The furnace was large and robust, with a heavy lid that needed to be opened in order for the magical heat to be generated.

I placed the copper bars inside a small compartment in the furnace, then turned the crank beside it. The sound of the metal creaking and the pressure building in the air indicated that the furnace was starting to heat up. The heat gradually rose, generating magical steam, and soon an ethereal mist began to fill the space. The furnace was working as expected.

With the furnace now operating, I took the crystal and held it near the furnace entrance, waiting for the temperature to reach the necessary level to melt the metals. At the same time, a clamp connected by a long cable, which was linked to the furnace, hung over the table, and its tip was starting to turn red. The equipment was almost ready to be used.
