Initiating a Plant Revolution in the Otherworld

Chapter 267 The Phenomenon of Mutual Transformation of Elements (33) (seeking tickets~)

The time gradually came to the end of February and the beginning of March.

During this time, Ron became completely busy.

The money-burning war at the hot pot restaurant was at its most intense moment. Mia even took Ron's Q-version puppet and went north to the northern border to sit in town with Lyle.

Ron also occasionally needs to communicate with Mia, keep abreast of the local situation and give them advice.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but recently the pirated hot pot restaurant has stepped up its promotion and promotion again, which made Ron feel like the other party has already seen him.

Perhaps the Duke of the North and the members of the Grain and Medicine Merchant Alliance feel that the recent expenses of the hot pot restaurant are a bit outweighed, and they have put pressure on the person in charge.

On the other hand, on Ron's side, because of the continuous and large income of the flower shop as support, he has always seemed to be able to do a job with ease, and he has no financial troubles at all.

Leaving aside the expansion plan of the hot pot restaurant, in the laboratory invested by Ron in the Imperial City Academy of Magic, the first comprehensive healing potion has entered the final testing stage.

Once the test results meet expectations, it can be officially put into mass production.

On the other side, in the private experimental area of ​​Chaos City, the experimental research area is not far from complete completion.

Some independent laboratories have already been put into use.

When Ron came here, Illya happened to come out of the single water element extraction room, with an unacceptable expression on her face.

"Is the experiment going well?" Ron asked curiously.

Yi Liya looked at him with a complicated expression, and said in a solemn and hesitant tone, "I don't know whether this is going well or not."

The two walked into the research room on one side, and Illya showed the experimental data to Ron, and explained next to him:

"Six single-element extraction chambers have been built in the experimental research area one after another, which can create a special environment with only one element inside."

"After I exhausted the elements in the water element potato, I put the six elements into the extraction room one by one, and let them try to recover inside."

"And the final result is that no matter which element is pulled out of the room, the water element potato can completely absorb the elements that do not correspond to itself."

"And in the end, a single water element was added inside the element potato itself."

Ron was already mentally prepared for this, but he wasn't surprised.

After all, it is produced by the system, no matter how outrageous it is, he will not find it strange.

But for Illya, this is completely a black technology.

And it's still very shocking.

Elements cannot be converted into each other, and magic power cannot be converted into elements, which are also basic theories recognized by the magic world.

But now, the former seems to have been subverted by the elemental potato, and the latter is about to be conquered by Harper.

"After the experiment with water-based elemental potatoes, I conducted the same experiments with other five-series elemental potatoes, and the results were the same."

"And among them, according to the amount of absorbed elements in the element extraction room, compared with the newly added elements in the element potato, I also found some small details."

Illya licked her lips and continued:

"The four elements that represent blue magic have the same amount of transformation between each other."

"Assuming a fire element is transformed into a water element, what you get is also a water element."

"And if one portion of light element or dark element is transformed into water element, what one gets is three portions of water element."

"Conversely, if you want to convert the water element into a light element or a dark element, you must replace three times the water element with a light or dark element."

"As for the light and dark elements, it is a one-to-one conversion relationship."

"In terms of transformation speed, the speed of absorbing the corresponding elements is the fastest, followed by the transformation speed between the four elements of blue magic."

"The conversion speed of these four elements and light or dark elements is slower."

"As for the conversion speed between light and dark elements, it is the slowest among them."

After listening to Illya's discussion, Ron fell into deep thought.

To be honest, he is not sure whether this function of the element potato is in line with the basic laws of this world, or it is a phenomenon that transcends the rules of another world after being disturbed by the system.

If it is the former, then as long as Illya continues to study, it is very likely to further reveal the magical nature of this world.

But if it's the latter...emmm...

That would be embarrassing.

Because this means that all of Illya's research has been useless.

Of course, this is not completely useless work, at least the various specific effects of elemental potatoes have been researched.

After being proven to be able to transform elements, no matter whether it conforms to the basic rules of the different world or not, the element potato is undoubtedly a ruling item.

It can provide various elements like elemental stones, and unlike elemental stones that are used up and discarded, it can replenish itself by absorbing free elements from the external environment after consuming elements.

It doesn't matter even if there is no corresponding element in the external environment, because it also has the function of converting elements of different types.

This is simply the perfect power source!

But unfortunately, even such a perfect elemental potato still has its flaws.

"Elemental potatoes don't stay 'fresh' for very long."

"Since His Royal Highness Ron handed me the batch of elemental potatoes, they have shown obvious signs of functional decline."

"For example, the speed of absorbing and transforming elements slows down, and the space for internal storage elements shrinks."

Ilya mentioned: "According to this rate of decline, after the element potato is picked from maturity, within three months, its function will fade by half."

"In about half a year to nine months, its function will be reduced to the point where it is dispensable, which is tantamount to truly 'rotting'."

"Of course, this time is not accurate. It needs to be verified slowly in later experiments. It's just about this time."

"But what is certain is that it is absolutely impossible for the elemental potato to maintain its optimal function forever."

"Excluding its two functions of being able to eat and transform different elements, the element potato is actually equivalent to an element stone with a longer lifespan."

Ron tapped his fingers on the table and basically got the comprehensive information of Elemental Potatoes.

"Illya." Ron pondered, "If you don't worry about why the element potato can be converted into different elements."

"Since elemental potatoes have a longer lifespan than elemental stones."

"So in the past, some ideas that were impractical or not cost-effective, are they likely to be realized?"

"For example, the carriage that can be powered by magic power, as I mentioned to you before."

"Another example is the condenser you showed me a while ago."

"In the past, the magic circles were too expensive because the elemental stones were too expensive, so many popular magic circles could not be popularized."

"Then now that we have elemental potatoes, is everything easy to solve?"

Because it is produced by the system, Ron doesn't know whether the element potato is a brainless black technology or something that conforms to the rules of a different world.

So Ron didn't want to get entangled in the principle issue, and hoped that Illya would focus on the practical application.

But things are certainly not that simple.

Illya pondered for a moment, and after thinking about how to explain it, she slowly said:

"His Royal Highness Ron, first a question."

"Although your elemental potato has been used for a longer period of time, if the output is scarce, it will still only allow the elemental potato to be used by a small number of people, and it cannot really be popularized among ordinary people."

Ron nodded slowly. He was not worried about this. After all, there was room for breeding, and production was not a big problem at all.

As long as he is given time to slowly accumulate a large amount of breeding space, he will be able to continuously provide macronutrient potatoes.

So he didn't interrupt Ilya, and motioned her to continue.

"Even if you can solve this problem, it only solves the power problem of the magic circle."

"In addition to this, the material that engraves the pattern of the magic circle is also the big money that the magic circle burns."

Illya picked up a piece of white paper from the table, rolled it into a cylinder shape, and gave Ron an analogy:

"For example, the channel formed by this white paper is similar to the magic pattern engraved by a certain material."

"After the magic pattern is formed, the magic power can travel in it."

"With different magic materials, the sizes of the magic lines drawn out are also different."

"Moreover, the magic pattern formed by the same material has different effects on magic of different attributes."

It may still be a bit abstract to say so, and Illya gave another example.

"For example, I now use lava ore powder to trace a magic circle capable of firing fireballs."

"At this time, the magic array is equipped with fire element potatoes, and the fire element is also passing through the magic lines."

"Then for these fire elements, the path formed by lava ore powder is so large."

Illya expanded the cylinder formed by the white paper in her hand to the maximum, and then continued:

"But if the water element is passing through the passage, then the magic pattern traced by the lava ore powder is only so small for the water element, or even none."

The white paper in Ilya's hand was instantly shrunk into a very thin tube, and finally squeezed by her until there was no gap at all.

"Magic materials that can form stable magic lines are rare in quantity and various in variety."

"In many cases, each magic material can only correspond to a small part of the magic circle."

"If it is used on other magic circles, the effect will be greatly reduced."

After saying this, Illya took a deep breath, and finally sighed faintly:

"So, His Royal Highness Ron, just solving the power problem of the magic circle is far from enough."

"Although elemental potatoes can make the magic circle take a big step forward, there is still a long way to go before it can be truly popularized."

"At the very least, we need to find a magical material that is not very effective, but has a considerable amount and is extremely universal."

"At that time, the magic circle will be able to truly enter thousands of households, not just a slightly tasteless doll in the hands of a few people."

Ilya obviously has deep research on this aspect.

At this time, she said a lot of things in one breath, basically from her heart.

Ron thought for a long time, and realized that the idea in his heart could not be achieved overnight.

Being able to achieve this level is already thanks to the system.

So he didn't force it anymore.

At most, when I need it, Illya can help me make something that is helpful at this stage, such as a soundproof circle.

As for the others, let Illya play freely.

"In terms of experiments, I'm an outsider, so I won't point fingers. You can continue according to your own arrangements." Ron decided, "But you can occasionally think about practical applications and change your mind."

Illya nodded seriously: "Don't worry, this is also my ideal, but I think it is more important to understand the relationship between elements at this stage."

Ron smiled helplessly and said no more.

After all, it is impossible for him to supply the system.

Only he himself knows the special nature of the element potato.

And what if Illya researched it?

Pujie Diary: This chapter is a bit long-winded, but it is very necessary. However, if the specific essence and principles in it are finally revealed, it is normal for you to think that there is something illogical... After all, this is already a liberal arts student. The limit of ability...
