Chapter 373 Return to Cecil
It is boring to test the combination that meets the requirements from a vast number of basic spells and basic materials. Although the overall research environment of the Institute of Magic Technology is pleasant, this does not mean that the research work itself is also relaxed and enjoyable.
Cohen has been conducting these basic tests for dozens of days. In these dozens of days, he has tested nearly a hundred different magic materials with more than a dozen different magic effects, including new materials formed after mixing various magic materials. In these tests, he did find that some substances will change when stimulated by specific types of spells, such as softening, hardening, rising and shrinking, etc., but they fully meet the project requirements, and the reversible combination of the process has not yet appeared.
But he was still doing these tests silently and recording the results obtained in detail in each test.
He adapted to this boring work. In fact, he even liked this boring work, just like he also liked precision and planning. He liked to walk into the laboratory from the gate of the institute with no shortage of steps. When he was in the capital, a girl he secretly liked once said that his quirks were "quirky, rigid, and a little nervous", but Cohen could not change his habits after all.
After several test runes on the magic lab table slowly dimmed, Cohen cleared the samples and placed them separately, and then reset the experimental environment. He took out a thin piece of copper-silver alloy from the sample box at hand, clamped the alloy on a fixed bracket of the lab table, and then pressed the bracket down to contact the rune circuit depicted on the lab table. Then he raised a group of metal devices next to the lab table.
This metal device is very similar to an arm composed of several iron rods painted with runes. At the front of the "arm", a high-quality magic focus crystal is fixed. This device is called a "magic exciter" and is one of the most indispensable tools in the magic technology laboratory. By adjusting the order of several rune triggers at the connection between the rune iron rod and the laboratory bench, it can be connected to a large rune "palette" located on the back of the desktop. The disc-shaped rune device nicknamed "palette" has prefabricated more than a dozen of the most basic magic arrays, which can easily release the magic effects required by the experimenter.
The ordinary technicians in the Magic Laboratory who do not have spell talent rely on this kind of thing to conduct complex magic experiments.
Magicians like Cohen, who have the ability to cast spells, quickly realized the value of this thing after being exposed to the "magic exciter", and fell in love with this useful device in just a few days.
In his opinion, this is simply a great invention. The magic exciter relies on the magic net buried under the laboratory floor for energy, so there is almost no problem of magic exhaustion. Moreover, it can release almost all kinds of basic spell effects. Ordinary spell casters are limited by talent and there is a situation where some spell cannot be released. Finally, it is the magic exciter that the magic exciter is a machine, with all its structures, materials, and parameters fixed. Before the failure, this device can ensure that every spell impact released is not bad at all. It goes without saying what significance this has for those engaged in magic research!
And such a genius creation was invented by the young viscount who was currently standing in the laboratory and discussing with several senior technicians. In fact, more than half of the new devices in the entire laboratory were invented by her.
It is said that her casting level is only three levels.
Everyone is a low-level mage, why is she so outstanding? Could it be that her surname is "Cecil"?
Cohen restrained the thoughts that drifted in his mind and activated the magic trigger.
The focus crystal quickly brightened. After a moment, an arc hit the surface of the alloy from the tip of the crystal, leaving a shallow mark on the surface of the alloy as the crystal moves.
Cohen then immediately began to test the various changes in the alloy sample after this and recorded the results:
"On the x-month day, the xx test, sample number xx, arcane lightning acts on the surface of copper-silver alloy, leaving discoloration dents, and the area where the sample is affected by magic has produced a weak arcane affinity characteristic, and the process is irreversible. This characteristic may be used to create new high-performance magic array substrates..."
No tests so far have obtained the desired results, but this does not mean that these tests are meaningless. In the tests that are almost done by chance, researchers have discovered many new magical material properties, most of which are new characteristics of mixed materials, and all of them will be recorded in detail. One day in the future, perhaps one of the characteristics will come in handy. To this day, some researchers have even regarded the discovery of new material properties as a work goal, which is really a very dynamic thing.
As a master of the capital of the capital, Cohen knew that in the past, there were also mages who discovered new material characteristics from daily experiments or created new mixed magic materials from daily experiments. However, all old-style research was duli, closed and fragmented. The traditional mages found them in their dark and narrow mage towers, and then regarded them as treasures. They may not share their discoveries with the outside world in their lifetime. As long as these mages die, their discoveries will be buried in the grave. Like in the Institute of Magic Technology, a large group of people conducted large-scale tests in a planned and orderly manner, and then summarized all the discoveries together. At the same time, there are people responsible for coordinating the laws of the experiment. It is unimaginable to traditional mages.
It is precisely because of this that the experiment efficiency here is amazing.
After completing this batch of data records, Cohen did not rest. He sealed the samples and related records and handed them over to his colleagues, and immediately prepared to test the next sample.
But just as he picked up the sample, aimed the crystal of the magic exciter at the fixed bracket, and was about to press the rune trigger, a gradually low buzzing sound suddenly came from under the experimental table. Then, including his experimental table, the flickering runes on the tabletops of several groups around him dimmed.
"What's going on? My equipment is stopped... The new crystal is not overloaded, right? Is it stopped? Who used the heating pad on the laboratory bench to cook noodles? Who is checking the bolt next to the bolt? Check if it's safe and burned."
Cohen was stunned for a moment, and realized from the complaints around him that the problem was not on the laboratory. It should be that the magic network node in the laboratory was in trouble. At present, there are two forms of magic power supply in the territory. One is to provide a wireless magic field by magic obelisks in each block, and the other is to directly contact the magic network to extract energy. The first practical technology research room has a magic network built in the laboratory (a high-performance magic network with experimental nature), so half of the experimental platform is connected to the magic network in traditional ways.
After reacting, Cohen immediately put down his things and walked around behind his experimental table. Behind his experimental table, a hexagonal metal pile as thick as an arm extends out from under the floor, which is the so-called "inspection bolt".
Among the six silver-white facades of the inspection bolt, one of them was obviously black. Cohen carefully leaned his hand up and immediately felt a burst of heat.
He glanced at the node position represented by the black facade, waved his hand and called: "The nodes in the third or fourth ring in Area 6 have burned, and the other nodes look fine."
"Screen that node first, and repair it after the work is finished," Rebecca from the laboratory gave the order, "In addition, who did I just heard that someone cooked noodles with a heating pad in the laboratory? Someone really did this?"
The laboratory suddenly became quiet...
Cohen also subconsciously shrank his neck. He had never cooked things with the heating pad on the lab bench, but he had toasted bread...
But at this moment, the light from the corner of his eyes suddenly swept over the examination plug that turned black and hot due to the surge of arcane energy.
After the surge of arcane energy receded, the mitral coating that changed on the checking bolt was gradually returning to its original state...
One of the characteristics of Mithril is that magic will accumulate during the absorption of arcane energy, and there will be no appearance changes during this process; after the external arcane energy disappears, magic will be released quickly, and Mithril will heat up and change color during this process...
The young magician from the royal capital fell into deep thought...
In the north of Cecil's main city, on the Baishui River pier, a cargo ship with the mark of Cecil's Chamber of Commerce slowly leaned against the case under the command of the dock staff.
The cargo ship's springboard was on the trestle, and the captain walked down and started handing over to the staff on the dock. As the captain left the cargo ship, there was a sturdy figure and a dozen worn-out civilians.
"Have you formed a group of immigrants?" The dock manager saw those who were walking down the springboard and turned his head to the captain, "Don't forget to register, otherwise these immigrants can't leave the pier."
"I am not responsible for these immigrants," the captain waved his hand and pointed at the extra sturdy figure. "They were brought by the Reverend Mr. Wright."
"Mr. Wright?" The dock manager then realized that the priest who walked down the springboard was the territory. But the pastor was not wearing the iconic old pastor's robe. Instead, he put on a torn burlap that was similar to the poor, so he didn't recognize it at once. Now he recognized it, and he immediately ran forward, "Mr. Wright! Haven't you returned to the Holy Spirit Plain? Why are you back so soon?"
"I have seen what I want to see, so naturally I will go back to where I should go," Wright Aviken smiled gently, pointing to the immigrants behind him who were brought to him. "These people are the victims I have helped on the road, all of whom were persecuted by the Church of Holy Light. The lord said he would accept them."
"Church persecution...Oh, OK, I'll arrange for registration now." The dock manager did not expect that the only pastor in the territory would come back so soon, and he did not expect that the Holy Light Pastor would lead a team to bring back more than a dozen people persecuted by the Holy Light Church. The fact that the information was quite large made him stuck for a moment before he could react. Then, he noticed that there seemed to be some blood on Wright's clothes, "Mr. Wright, this is..."
Wright looked down at the traces on his clothes that could not be washed clean, and shook his head helplessly: "I got it when I reasoned with others."
The dock manager breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, that's fine. I thought you were going to reason with the bear again. Everyone has eaten enough bear meat."
