History
The institute began as the Blue Mountain Workshop, a Perfect Grade special building renovated by Huang Yu. Although the renovation reset it to Tier 1, it preserved forty blacksmiths—including three Expert Blacksmiths—and all workshop functions. More importantly, it became a growth-type building: major Magic Pattern research achievements could raise its grade without a stated upper limit. 47
Its original core was the Magic Pattern Research Center, where citizens who achieved research results could gain the secondary profession of Magic Pattern Construct Master. Unlike blacksmiths, Construct Masters could not initially be purchased or generated by the lord; they had to emerge through learning and research. 47
The institute’s first major practical success was Zhu Ling’s Fine Grade Explosive Magic Pill, the first Fine Grade Magic Pattern Construct on the Chaotic Continent. Its creation fulfilled the Tier 2 upgrade requirement and gave later researchers a working blueprint for Magic Pattern Construct development. 73
A later major breakthrough came from Magic Pattern Attachment research. This advanced the institute to Extraordinary Grade and created a dedicated Attachment Center, allowing researchers such as Ahuai to develop body-integrated Magic Patterns and establish the Magic Pattern Attacher profession. 154 156
Magic Pattern Biochemical Technology became the institute’s third major research achievement. Developed through Sang Shuang’s work and experiments involving Chai Jin’s body, it elevated the institute to Epic Grade and created the Magic Pattern Biochemical Center. 611 679
The fourth major breakthrough was the Magic Web, led by Marvin. By combining law inscriptions with Magic Pattern technology, the Magic Web created a mental shared space and enabled early intelligent machinery, raising the institute to Legendary Grade. 995 996
Structure and Facilities
The original institute was a three-story structure covering more than 3,000 square meters, centered on a pointed tower housing the Magic Pattern Research Center. 47
After reaching Tier 4, it became a three-pronged building resembling a nuclear-radiation symbol. Its three research centers were separated but linked by ring-shaped corridors to a central hemispherical structure. 201
By its Legendary stage, the institute stood in Huanyu’s Inner City as a massive landmark nearly as tall as the palace. 996
Research Centers
| Center | Function |
|---|---|
| Equipment Forging Center | Inherited the Blue Mountain Workshop’s forging role and later became Huanyu’s integrated center for material research, equipment customization, optimization, and major equipment supply. 679 683 |
| Magic Pattern Construct Center | Researches and manufactures Magic Pattern Constructs; at Tier 4 it could independently generate two Apprentice Construct Masters daily. 201 |
| Magic Pattern Attachment Center | Studies Magic Patterns integrated directly into living bodies to produce targeted energy resonance; created the Magic Pattern Attacher profession. 154 |
| Magic Pattern Biochemical Center | Performs biochemical body modification intended to overcome innate limitations and grant strength beyond natural growth and training; created the Magic Pattern Biochemical Scholar profession. 679 680 |
| Magic Web Technology Center | Develops Magic Web Engineering, a discipline focused on mental shared spaces and intelligent machinery. 996 |
Documented Capacity and Production
- At Tier 4, the Equipment Forging Center automatically generated 40 Apprentice Blacksmiths per day, with a maximum of 500 main-profession Blacksmiths. 201
- The Tier 4 Construct Center could generate two Apprentice Magic Pattern Construct Masters per day and support up to 100 main-profession Construct Masters. 201
- The Tier 4 Attachment Center could generate one Apprentice Magic Pattern Attacher per day and support up to 50 main-profession Attachers. 201
- The Tier 4 centers gained simulation experiment buildings for Blacksmiths, Construct Masters, and Attachers. 201
- At Epic Grade, the institute could accommodate 3,000 Specialist Class personnel: 1,500 in equipment forging and 500 each in the Construct, Attachment, and Biochemical Centers. 683
- At Tier 7, the institute could automatically generate only one junior Magic Web Engineer every half year; directly adding one cost four million Soul Crystals. 996

Notable Products
| Product | Grade / Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Explosive Magic Pill | Fine Grade Magic Pattern Construct | Zhu Ling’s first major construct; inspired by Huang Yu’s Blazing Magic Bullet and recognized as the first Fine Grade Magic Pattern Construct on the Chaotic Continent. 73 |
| Magic Pill Gun | Rare Grade Magic Pattern Construct | Combines a maglev launch structure with explosive magic pills, providing high projectile speed, armor penetration, and explosive damage. 194 |
| Orichalcum Magic Light Cannon | Perfect Grade Magic Pattern Construct | Its development fulfilled the institute’s Tier 5 upgrade requirement; Huang Yu considered it strategically important enough to withhold from broad sale. 472 444 |
| Magic Pattern Powered Armor | Perfect Grade Magic Pattern Construct | Provides heavy defense and modular weapon systems, including Bombard Guns, Magic Light components, Magnetic Storm Gauntlets, and Magic Light Swords. 683 684 |
| Magic Pattern Puppet | Saint Level Magic Pattern Construct | A nearly twenty-meter purple-gold automaton created by Zhu Ling; its functions surpassed most Epic Grade equipment, though it initially required a human pilot. 866 867 |
| Magic Pattern Intelligent Machine | Magic Pattern Puppet with Magic Web Module | Marvin’s modified puppet could walk, dodge, and briefly hover without a pilot, but remained limited to basic autonomous actions. 995 |
| Star Refining Furnace | Mythic Grade Magic Pattern Construct | A construct capable of refining stars and serving as an immense energy source for warships and fortresses. 1112 |
Key Personnel
- Zhu Ling — Chief Magic Pattern Construct Master of the Huanyu Empire; a Saint Blacksmith and dual Sacred professional whose work includes the Explosive Magic Pill, Magic Pattern Powered Armor, Magic Pattern Puppets, and advanced constructs. 73 866 1055 1112
- Mou Ping — Blacksmith and Magic Pattern Construct Master who collaborated with Zhu Ling on the Magic Pill Gun, Orichalcum Magic Light Cannon, and Magic Pattern Human-Mech Resonance research. 194 444 478
- Ahuai — Director of the Magic Pattern Attachment Center; pioneered Magic Pattern Attachment through self-experimentation and later became a Sacred professional. 155 156 1055
- Sang Shuang — Director of the Magic Pattern Biochemical Center; developed Magic Pattern Biochemical Technology and created the Biochemical Core using Chai Jin’s corpse. 680 1055
- Marvin — Director and administrator of the Magic Web; led the Magic Web breakthrough and became an Eighth Tier Legendary through psionic transformation. 995 1055
- Baili — Expert Blacksmith present from the institute’s founding; helped lead early blacksmith and Magic Pattern research efforts. 47 119
Research Risks
- Early attachment research involved direct experimentation on living bodies. Ahuai’s self-testing left her with numerous hidden ailments. 155 608
- Magic Pattern Biochemical Technology directly alters bodies and carries significant physical and ethical risks. Sang Shuang’s research used Chai Jin’s corpse and later relied on death-row prisoners and alien captives as potential test subjects. 611 683
- The Magic Pattern Knights developed battlefield impulsiveness due to the influence of Dragon Extraordinary Power used in their modifications. Proposed remedies included stricter training, meditation to strengthen willpower, and dedicated battlefield command. 781
- The Magic Web’s expansion is constrained by the storage capacity of its underlying demiplane and the extreme rarity of qualified Magic Web Engineers. 996
Technology Policy
- Huanyu initially retained strict control over Magic Pattern technology because even low-level constructs were difficult for outsiders to reverse-engineer without high-level specialists. 545
- In later years, the Huanyu Empire opened Magic Pattern Constructs, Attachments, and Biotechnology to cooperating powers. 1112
- Magic Web Engineering remained exclusively controlled by Huanyu due to its strategic importance, extreme technical difficulty, and Marvin’s control of the Magic Web infrastructure. 1112
