Celestial Mage

Chapter 307 You and Me Under the Elemental Tree, Power Fruit on the Elemental Tree! (13)

The imperial capital is about 3200 Lami away from the Crescent Territory, and the Golden Lake University Conference will be held for a full month.

This is a wisdom conference that has lasted for a long time and is so influential that it can greatly affect the future destiny of the Golden Land.

Since he intends to publicize his Floating Void City at the society, he must make adequate preparations.

In addition, when he is away, the affairs of the territory must be properly arranged.

Therefore, after experiencing the joy of high-level twelve-star achievement for a while, Rosen turned around and devoted himself to the busy preparation work.

About three days later, an element apprentice brought him good news.

"Lord, the instructor said that he wants to show you a brand new basic element, an incomparably wonderful, fascinating, and unpredictable dream elf."

What else is there to say?
Rosen immediately put down all the work in his hand and hurried to the element laboratory.

When he arrived at the laboratory, he found that Fitbit was already waiting for him.

A trace of drunken excitement appeared on his face. After seeing Rosen, he patted the big wooden box on the table behind him.

"Baron, I bet you will be more excited than me when you get to know this magical little guy!"

Rosen is also looking forward to it, but just smiles on his face: "Show it to me."

Fitbit opened the wooden box and took out a goose-yellow strange metal with a diameter of three centimeters and a length of 20 centimeters.

"I call it 'Titan Iron' because the pure essence of this fundamental element is an exceptionally strong metal."

"At the same time, its content is very rare, and its rich ore should not be found in nature. I consumed 2000 dilas of iron ore slag to get such a small root."

"It's several times stronger than pig iron and can even leave marks on glass."

While speaking, he took out a piece of ordinary glass and scratched it vigorously with a stick, unexpectedly scraping off a layer of white glass powder.

Rosen praised sincerely: "It is indeed very hard."

Ordinary iron objects scratched on the glass, leaving no trace.

Fitbit continued: "But what's really fascinating about it is its magical quality, a wonderful ability that only the extraordinary can have."

Rosen immediately guessed a possibility, and his heart beat faster.

I saw Fitbit carefully picked up the goose-yellow metal rod, and put his left and right index fingers against its two ends.

"Baron, pay attention, my mana will flow out from my left finger and flow in from my right finger, forming a mana cycle."

After speaking, Fitbit began to release mana.

As the mana flowed, Rosen found that the surface of the metal rod was covered with hoarfrost, and the hoarfrost became thicker and thicker, so that the temperature of the surrounding air dropped a little.

"During this period, I poured ten parts of mana into the stick, and the mana that finally flowed back only decreased by less than one-thousandth."

In the element laboratory, one mana is equal to one percent of the mana consumption of a standard missile spell.

Rosen calculated a little: "Even the star meteorite with the best guiding properties is far from reaching this level, and it is even an order of magnitude worse."

"That's right, but the essence of this extraordinary conductance property is completely different from other metals."

Phoebe set up a spirit lamp and warmed the metal rod by the flames.

After the hoarfrost on the surface melted away, he continued: "I will transfer mana again."

Rosen watched carefully.

The moment the mana began to flow, the flame of the alcohol lamp dimmed a lot, its brightness and heat were greatly reduced, and it seemed that it would be extinguished in the next moment.

Rosen immediately asked: "The power of the flame has been absorbed?"

"That's right. As a result, for every mana I bleed out, nearly six small parts flowed back into my body."

Rosen was shocked: "Flame mana!"

The essence of the ability released by flames is electromagnetic waves, so the essence of this matter is actinic mana!
He is too lucky, right?
I just wanted to find the secret method of photochemical mana, but it was directly solved by a basic element.

It felt very unreal, like dreaming.

But after thinking about it, it makes sense.

Because in his view, the foundation of the world is matter, and the subject of matter is the basic element.

The basic elements make up all life, including extraordinary life.

Then, the essence of the ability of the extraordinary life also comes from a certain substance.

His good luck was that he found this substance in one fell swoop.

And this kind of situation usually only occurs in the initial stage of the knowledge explosion.

Because at this time, everyone is ignorant of the method of acquiring new knowledge.

The fruit of the knowledge orchard has hardly been picked yet.

There are low-hanging sweet fruits everywhere, as long as the eyes are bright enough, and the hand is lifted.

And now, Fitbit may have picked the power fruit on the tree of elements!

But things don't seem to be that simple.

A wry smile appeared on Fitbit's face: "Baron, don't rush to be happy, soon you will fall into the same distress as me."

He said, "Baron, you unleash a breath of fire that wraps around a metal rod."

Rosen complied.

When the lavender flames enveloped the metal rod, Fitbit began to flow mana again.

Rosen immediately found that his mana was attracted by some kind of strange attraction, out of his control, and quickly poured into the metal rod.

Then, the lavender flame simulated by mana immediately cooled down to dark blue.

"Baron, I'm already running my mana at full capacity, but the speed of mana conversion has reached a certain extreme. No matter what I do, the speed of mana absorption will not increase."

Rosen understood: "The upper limit of mana conversion is extremely low."

"Yes, sadly low."

He pouted at the metal rod in his hand.

"Just this big baby, it can only convert up to six parts of mana per second."

"When you use one mana to guide, the conversion efficiency is as high as 600%. One mana you input can become seven out of it."

"But if you use two parts of mana, it immediately exceeds its conversion limit, and the outflow of mana is only eight parts, which is still only six parts more."

"Then, it is absolutely impossible for it to run automatically. It must be guided by a mage at all times."

"In the end, it seems that the increased mana can only be used to restore the mage's mana, but it cannot increase the mana cap, which means it cannot replace meditation."

Rosen understood that such performance was far from his requirements, even to the point where it could not be applied.

At first glance, six copies of mana per second, and a mage has to guide it all the time, it's like exchanging a catty of gold for a catty of shit, so stupid.

But it doesn't work that way.

In everything, we must first solve the problem of whether it is good or not before we can continue to consider the problem of whether it is good or not.

Rosen immediately entered a state of concentration.

"So, is there a way to increase the maximum conversion volume?"

Obviously, the maximum conversion amount must reach a certain level in order to have an application space.

Phoebe nodded.

"After preliminary research, it was found that the maximum conversion efficiency was maintained at 600% and could not be improved, but the wider the cross-section of the round rod, the greater the mana conversion."

"Does it have nothing to do with the length?"

"The length only affects the extra loss of mana conduction, and has little effect on the maximum conversion amount."

It was a bit confusing, but Rosen understood.

"Any more?"

"No more. The time is too short to do it yet."

"Then, does the maximum conversion amount have a simple linear relationship with the increase of the section, or is it another relationship?"

Fitbit shook his head: "Not sure yet. How about starting now?"

Rosen immediately said: "Okay, let's start."

Since the cross-sectional area can affect the amount of mana converted, this will be studied first.

The two were busy from noon to late at night, and finally came to a very weird conclusion.

Fitbit looked at the relationship curve, speechless.

"Is it a mistake?"

This relationship curve is like a ghost drawing.

Not to mention countless small shocks mixed with big shocks, one time is directly proportional, and one time is inversely proportional.

At first glance, there seems to be some regularity, but if you look carefully, you can't sum it up, so it's very confusing.

Fitbit spread his hands helplessly: "This is too abominable. How about renaming it Titan Iron?"

Rosen didn't speak.

He stood beside the graph, with one arm around his chest and the other on his chin, and fell into long-term contemplation.

After looking at it, I suddenly had an idea, immediately immersed myself in the Jufa virtual machine, compiled a model, threw it into the computing core and started running.

Run one and find that the curve is not realistic, fine-tune it immediately and then run again.

After that, he kept running around the model, but in the eyes of others, he was as motionless as a sculpture.

It was one o'clock in the morning in the blink of an eye, and Fitbit couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't bear to go to rest.

Because he was very curious, he wanted to see if Rosen could use his unparalleled mathematical ability to see through the laws.

So, I simply made a bed on the floor and slept directly in the laboratory.

On the other hand, as the model is improved over and over again, the parameters are revised over and over again.

When a rooster crowed from the sky, Rosen obtained a rather beautiful nonlinear multidimensional flow equation system.

This thing is not simpler than the generalized field equations.

According to this equation group, when Titan Iron is in the shape of a round rod, the relationship between the maximum conversion amount and the cross section is such a "ghost painting".

The calculated curve and the actual curve fit perfectly.

Rosen wasn't really guessing hard, it was the result of careful analysis.

Because the metal round rod is a single metal substance with a simple shape, the microstructure is a simple and regular stack of homogeneous metal crystals, and the only variable is the cross section.

Its law must be relatively simple, and it is impossible to express it so complicated.

Then, this complexity must come from mana itself, that is, the rules of mana operation.

More precisely, it is Rosen's high-level mana rules.

Mana rules are very complex and multi-dimensional, and a large amount of information is compressed on a two-dimensional coordinate system, which will naturally appear very chaotic.

Of course, if there is no super computing power of the computing core as an auxiliary, it is possible to rely on the human brain to calculate hard, and it is estimated to be possible in 100 years.

Not necessarily right.

In short, Rosen relied on super computing power to forcefully calculate the conversion law of the Titan Iron.

But whether it is right or not, the optimal form of Titan Iron must be designed according to the laws described by the equations.

If the final experimental results still match very well, then basically there is no big problem.

There is a golden crucible in the element laboratory. Rosen didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel tired at all.

With the support of a strong curiosity, relying on the 12-star spellcasting ability, he independently fused the Titan Iron into the optimal shape in the calculation.

This shape is very complex and precise, similar to a multi-layer ghostly ellipsoid.

In short, if you don't understand it, it is absolutely impossible to build such a thing just by imagination.

Even if the shape is similar, the essence cannot be obtained.

Because of the complexity of the mana rules, even a slight error may cause chaotic mutations in the final function.

From 'Excellent' to 'Extremely Poor'.

Just about to prepare for the experimental test, Fitbit's voice came from behind: "Baron, why is it in this shape?"

He woke up, and after seeing the precise hollow ellipsoid, he immediately smelled a law.

But what the specific law is, he doesn't know.

Rosen didn't answer the question.

"Titan Iron is really an excellent gift from the Creator to mortals. It not only has natural toughness effects, but also has a strange memory effect, which can resist deformation caused by external forces."

While speaking, Rosen held the metal ellipsoid in both hands, with five fingers spread out, pressing on the calculated special mana contact.

"Sir, please release the breath of fire on this ring in the center."

"Attention, it's just a ring, try not to leak any power."

Fitbit complied immediately.

When the blue-white mana flame wrapped around the metal ring in the center, Rosen began to use his mana.

In the next instant, the blue and white flame disappeared without a trace.

The maximum conversion volume has achieved an amazing increase.

With a thought, Rosen gave himself and Fitbit a high-level thorn shield.

"It hasn't reached the limit yet, use low-level flame breath."

Fitbit complied.

As a result, low-level spells were also directly extinguished.

Fitbit's heart is also very wild, relying on magic protection, immediately changed to a low-dexterity high-level fire dragon's breath.

Dark blue high-intensity flames sprayed on the metal ring.

Rosen also used his mana at full strength, and immediately felt that the mana consumed by his casting was increasing at a violent speed, and at the same time, the dark blue flame suddenly turned dark red.

almost extinguished.

"It's the limit.

"Under the harsh preset conditions, the maximum conversion amount is the mana power of a standard high-level spell per second, and the conversion efficiency is 850%."

In other words, Rosen can leverage a high-level spell with the consumption of a low-level high-level spell.

Fitbit felt his scalp explode when he heard it, and he couldn't figure out why there was such a qualitative leap.

He looked at the hollow ellipsoid in disbelief, and asked the original question again.

"Baron, why is it such a strange appearance?"

Rosen took out the pen and paper he carried with him, and wrote down the flow equations he guessed.

"I figured it out overnight."

Fitbit glanced at the manuscript paper, and was dazzled by the various symbols on it.

He is a very good experimental mage with strong hands-on ability, but his mathematics skills are a mess. When he first came, he was only slightly better than the four arithmetic operations.

Although I have learned flow numbers now, it is just an introduction.

So when I saw such a complicated set of equations, I felt the blood vessels on my forehead throbbing.

He asked with difficulty: "How...how did you calculate it?"

After asking, I realized that I asked a stupid question.

Rosen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sir, are you sure you want to listen to my explanation?"

"Forget it, that's not my field. Just as long as you know how to do it."

To figure it out, he felt that he might lose ten years of his life.

Rosen said: "This transformation ellipsoid is already available."

"According to my calculations, as long as the scale is increased by three times and its shape is adjusted, the maximum conversion amount can be increased to five high-level spells per second. But the price is that the conversion efficiency is reduced to about 620%."

In other words, they successfully picked off the power fruit from the big elemental tree!
It's nice, but the Titan Iron seems to be very difficult to deal with.

Fitbit asked, "What are you going to do with it, Baron?"

"To be the power core of the high-speed suspension vehicle."

"But this thing is just transforming power, it can't be created out of thin air."

"Is the baron planning to burn a stove on the suspension car? Or put it in the sun?"

He has a very precise grasp of the power of the environment, and he feels that neither of them is easy to use, and it may be difficult to provide enough power.

Rosen smiled slightly: "Actually, I know a spell called 'Light of Heaven', which can attract sunlight very well."

"I plan to attract a large area of ​​sunlight, and use a lens group to focus on the core of power. Well, how much sunlight needs to be directed, and how to design the optimal structure, all need to be carefully calculated."

"Sir, in short, help me get as many Titan Irons as possible first, and wait for me to build a hover car. No, it should be called a miniature floating city."

"I will drive it to the imperial capital and let everyone know our wish."

Fitbit immediately said: "Okay, leave the Titan Iron to me!"

Rosen left in no hurry.

"Sir, I also need a material that is highly malleable before petrification, and becomes very tough and light after petrification. Of course, it is best to be cheaper."

"Do you have any recommendations?"

Fitbit thought about it carefully, and found something from his collection of materials.

"A fine gold and iron alloy, as long as 5% fine gold is mixed into wrought iron. The wrought iron will become foamed like fermented flour, expand four or five times, and become as soft as mud. Ordinary low-grade A samurai could squeeze this alloy with his hands like clay."

"So, I also call it bread iron."

"And after using your high-level petrification on this bread iron, it immediately becomes very hard, probably reaching [-]% of the Titan iron."

"As for the price, the price of fine gold is 100 crowns per dila, and the current price of wrought iron should be 5 crowns per dila. If you get a 1000-dila bread iron, you can make the carriage of an ordinary carriage. The price is less than 1000 Crown."

"Well, it's really a good thing."

Rosen is going to use this bread iron to build his suspension car body

"So, is there anything else I need to go to other places to buy?"

Fitbit immediately said: "Of course."

"I heard that there is an ironworks near the Great Golden Lake, and all the slag produced in it is used to pave roads."

"This is simply a huge waste!"

"Help me buy the slag back, the more the better."

"Slag. There may indeed be good things in it. How about this? I'll have someone collect the slag from the smelters all over the place and bring it all over."

Fitbit just laughed: "Well, the more the quantity, the better ~ there is no cap!"

Rosen left the elemental laboratory, turned his footsteps, and entered the nearby life laboratory. After finding Vivienne, he asked the same question.

"Do you want me to help you bring something in the imperial capital?"

Vivienne thought about it carefully, and said: "There is a great alchemist named Nairofa in the imperial capital. If you can get his alchemy notes and show me his alchemy notes, then I will be satisfied."

Rosen spread his hands: "This is really a problem, but it's on me."

Vivienne happily gave Rosen a sweet kiss: "Honey, your skills are much greater than my brother's, so I'll wait for your good news~"

After leaving the life laboratory, Rosen went back to the lord's castle, first drew up a list for the attendants to collect the materials for making the suspension vehicle, then dealt with the government affairs, and then returned to the backyard.

After a period of time, Rosen focused on building high-speed suspension vehicles.

The principles are all in place, and the specific design can be done quickly with the help of the computing core.

In addition to the lack of Titan Iron, other materials are also cheap, the difficulty of building is also low, and there are many refining helpers, so the progress is very fast.

It was completed in less than 20 days. I thought I could start directly, but another unexpected news came out.

Master Sophia fell ill, it was not a serious illness, it was just a common cold.

Although Wei Na gave her treatment in time, she was old and her body was still very weak.

In such a situation, it is obviously not suitable to travel far.

When I visited the patient, I saw Master Sophia lying on the hospital bed with an apologetic expression on his frail face.

"Lawson, I can only let you go to the imperial capital by yourself, but I saw your suspension car is very fast, as long as you drive at full speed, no one can catch up with you."

"You should be safe on the road. When you get to the imperial capital, just go to Brun directly, and he will take care of you."

What else could Rosen say, and he nodded, "Okay, master, I will."

"Apologize to His Majesty on my behalf. If he wants to see me, you can draw a portrait of me for him. When you come back, also draw a portrait of Your Majesty for me."

"Ok."

"Then you go. Don't worry about the territory, I will show you."

Rosen thought the same thing, with the master around, he would have no worries, so he told her carefully about the situation of the ice dwarves and their concerns about possible invasion, as well as his own strategy.

Sophia listened carefully, then nodded: "I have the count, just leave it to me."

"You have to be careful when you go to the imperial capital, because all famous mages will be invited, and so will Archmage Hollenir. Don't conflict with him unless it is absolutely necessary."

"Ok."

After everything was explained, Rosen left Sophia's room to make final preparations for the trip.

After a while, Serendis came over to chat with Sophia on a daily basis.

"Master, how is your health?"

Sophia blinked: "I'm in good health."

Serrandis was taken aback: "Huh?"

Sophia gave a 'shh': "The master's logic spell finally has some clues, I really don't want to stop halfway."

"Besides, I am so old and have been cursed by the soul. I am raised in one place, and my body is naturally fine. If I run around, I will really get sick."

She is very particular about her bed. She just came to Xinyue Town and didn't sleep well for a week. Now she has finally gotten used to it, and she doesn't want to make a fuss again.

Thrandi suddenly understood: "Alright then."

On the other hand, Rosen also felt that things were a bit strange, and vaguely guessed something, but he saw it through and didn't reveal it.

Since the masters do not travel together, considering the high speed of the suspension car, and considering that the emperor is a real place protected by the gods, they simply did not bring a single guard.

He only took the items prepared in advance to be displayed at the university meeting and some simple luggage, and hurried on the road alone.

　Today's update is a bit late, it took half a day to get it done.
