Hey guys! I haven't been writing for a long time. Sorry. School work has been piling up. Well I'm officially going to talk about tekkit now. Search it up. Moded minecraft! Also I've decided to change Tyler's name to Steve because its a common minecraft name :)
Disclaimer: I do not own minecraft or tekkit
Chapter 4:
My friend reacted to his heart, leaped right passed me and got hit. He had lost 5 hearts. Then the spider stared at my friend and leaped. Just then, a gleaming arrow hit the spider, the arrow came out of nowhere. The spider screeched and then disappeared into silk threads. Then a man appeared. I grabbed my stone sword and leaped into defense position. "Woah! Chill bro, I'm not going to hurt you, I'm just an alchemist" said the man. "By the way, my name is Alchemy." I was surprised that alchemy even existed. My friend got up and said, "Whoa, what was all that about?" "I see a great destiny for you and your friend, I see a that I take part in it. I must mentor you. For you will defeat the greatest threat this world has ever seen. I must not tell you what it is" said Alchemy. Come to my house at sundown, and you may want to move your whole house. I will teach you for quite a while.
I asked my friend if we could trust him or not. My friend said what other choice do we have so we quickly destroyed our chest and picked it up again, took all our stuff, and set out to where Alchemy's house was.
The sun almost set and we had to make shelter quick. We made the SMALLEST house possible with dirt and put up some torches to avoid mobs spawning right next to us. Our house was right next to the alchemist's. We placed down our items and decided to expand the next day.
Steve sighed with relief, saying, "Anyways, when do I get started?" Alchemy replied, "Right now. Follow me." Alchemy led Steve into a chamber with many glowing items, and with blocks of mysterious looking types of matter. Alchemy said, "This is my working chamber. This is where I conduct my basic alchemy to make any basic non-mechanic item. The core items that I use are the transmutation tablet, condenser, collector, and relay. This is how this all works. The condenser is a big chest. It has the capacity of about three normal chests, and has an extra slot in the top left corner. If you put something in the top left corner, and put other items in the other slots, the energy condenser will make the items in the other slots into the item in the top left corner. But, each item has an EMC value. For example, the EMC value of a diamond is 8,192, whereas a cobblestone block is only worth 1 EMC. So, you cannot simply convert each cobblestone into a diamond; you would need 8,192 cobblestone to make a diamond. The collectors generate free EMC from light, like one of those solar panels you mechanics favor. The collectors, if right next to a condenser, will give the EMC it generates to the condenser. Antimatter Relays serve somewhat the same purpose. If you place a relay next to a condenser, it will give the condenser extra EMC, but only if it is also next to a collector. This may seem ineffective, but using antimatter relays allow for more collectors to be hooked up to a condenser, thus resulting in a much faster EMC generation. Also, relays give more EMC than the collectors would by themselves. For example, using a relay and a collector is slightly more effective than using just a collector. A condenser at maximum EMC collection can generate 930 EMC a second, or produce a diamond in slightly under nine seconds."
"Nine seconds? I'd say that's very effective, right?" Steve said. Alchemy replied, "Well, it depends on how you look at it. An mechanic like you would view it as highly efficient, but an alchemist like me would view it as only somewhat efficient." Steve said, "But seven diamonds a minute is a lot of diamonds, right?" Alchemy replied, "Correct. That is a lot. However, as you must know, diamond armor is for amateurs, and the real challenge to alchemy is not to get diamond equipment, but to get a red katar, a morning star, and gem armor." Steve asked, "What is all that?" Alchemy replied, "Patience, young one. I will explain it all. Alchemy has also allowed us to discover two entirely different types of matter: dark and red matter. You can make furnaces, armor, and tools out of them both. This is the basic web of alchemy:
Cobblestone (1) charcoal (32) coal (128) iron (256) gold (2048) diamond (8192) dark matter (139264) red matter (466944).
Steve said, "Holy diamonds! Doesn't that mean it takes fifty seven diamonds just to make ONE red matter?" Alchemy replied, "Correct." Steve then said, "Doesn't that mean it will take 1368 diamonds just to make one set of red matter armor?" Alchemy replied, "Incorrect. You will need 1776 diamonds to make a set of red matter armor." Steve said, "But 57*24 is 1368, not 1776!" Alchemy then said, "Correct. However, each piece of red matter armor also required the same piece of its dark matter counterpart. Each dark matter is 17 diamonds, 17*24 is 408, 408+1368 is 1776. So it takes 1776 diamonds to make a full set or red matter armor." Steve said, "That's even worse! How will I ever get so much diamonds?" Alchemy replied, "Calm down, Steve. You can make 10080 diamonds in one day." Steve said, "Really? Wow. That means I can get red matter armor in less than one fourth of a day!" Alchemy replied, "Correct. However, it does not stop there. There is a tier above red matter armor, although there are no weapons to accompany it. We call it Gem Armor. It would take 38745 diamonds to make the full set of Gem Armor. In other words, with the best collectors and relays in the entire game, it would take about four days to make Gem armor, but that's after about the week or two it takes to get those collectors and relays in the first place. There are also three marks of collectors and relays: Mark 1, mark 2, and mark 3. Obviously, mark three is the best and is the model used to collect EMC the most. Each mark gets progressively more expensive. For example, a mark one collector costs 82,953 EMC, while mark two collectors cost 232969 EMC, and mark three costs 710665 EMC. The same is true for antimatter relays, although they are slightly cheaper because they use obsidian rather than glowstone in their recipe."
As Alchemy rambled on and on about the katar and morning star, the alchemical tome, all of the rings, and many other new items discovered through alchemy, Steve was staring at the massive amount of collectors, relays and condensers in the workshop. Apparently they were arranged in the technique called "power flower", in which they would be at maximum efficiency if at the maximum light level. Also, Steve spotted a room with an iron door blocking it. He asked, "What's in that room?" Alchemy said, "It is the only original copy... of the alchemical tome. Steve asked, "Why do you have the original?" Alchemy replied, "I was the one who invented it. The original Alchemy neglected to search for a recipe book for people that are new to alchemy. I have a copy for each of my acolytes, and they use it nearly every day." Steve then said, "Well, okay then. Now teach me how to learn all this stuff!" "Thats not nice" said my friend. "I want to learn too." "No! the destiny is only for Steve, you may not learn." "FINE! I"LL GO ON MY OWN." My ex-friend just walked just like that.
