Chapter 1289 Education Reform Chip Trial Production
After reading the materials of those 12 people, Xia Duo couldn't help but have an idea—"Should we introduce an examination upgrade system in the Tower of Time?"

The ring-raising trial can indeed test the caster's learning results in terms of spell principles and spell-casting skills, but it is not comprehensive enough.

Moreover, the assessment is single, and in the Tower of Time, where the number of apprentices has skyrocketed, it actually has little effect on latecomers.

More just exists as a tradition.

"Educational reform is imperative!"

Without much hesitation, Xia Duo decided to bring the examination system of the imperial survivors back to the Tower of Time. In addition to the system, the examination syllabus, examination questions, and even teaching materials can also be brought back for reference.

Educational resources are limited, and the selection of more outstanding talents is in line with the general law of development.

Even in Xia Duo's hometown, education is highly developed, and after several rounds of enrollment expansion in colleges and universities across the country, it has not allowed all people of the right age to enter colleges and universities.

The same is true for the wizarding world. Unless the productivity develops to a very high level in the future and there is no shortage of resources, perhaps there will be a truly comprehensive education for all.

Of course, in addition to selecting talents, the role of the examination is to allow learners to have a clearer understanding of their own status, and then to check for gaps and make up for gaps, and move towards a higher level.

In Xia Duo's plan, apprentices will receive generalist education before advancing to the level of arcanists, in order to increase their knowledge, enrich their background, and at the same time recognize the direction of development they yearn for.

After becoming an advanced Arcanist, you can choose a profession and focus on the direction you choose. Of course, this is for the vast majority of people.

For a small number of talented people, majors do not limit their development, and they have a broader future.

……

Two days later, the laboratory returned to calm again, and the new apprentices kept themselves safe and did nothing wrong.

The assistant researchers, on the other hand, worked hard and continued to forge ahead in their respective projects.

The Hack Lab was just established not long ago, and living examples are in front of them. If we don't work hard now, when will we wait?What if it took too long and "McCard" changed his mind?
For a while, Xia Duo could clearly feel that the progress of various projects was faster than usual, and he could vaguely detect everyone's thoughts, but at this moment he didn't have much thought to think about them.

Since yesterday morning, he has monopolized a refined alchemy circle in the laboratory, and the trial production of the magic chip has reached a very critical step——

Mithril infused!

Since it is a chip, it is naturally extremely small, and the smaller the mithril component, the softer the mithril thread, and the more restrictions there are on production.

It may be that a slight movement of the floating field may cause it to deform, thereby affecting its subsequent link to the magic net.

Therefore, what Xia Duo thought of was to use a material with stable physical properties as the substrate, and use a high-precision alchemy circle to etch out the space required for the Mithril components.

He chose pure gold that is not easily deformed.

Of course, the physical properties of gold are also very stable, but the texture of gold is relatively soft. For the sake of safety in the first experiment, gold was not used.

For the whole day yesterday, Xia Duo was manually etching the fine gold base. Until now, after injecting Mithril, a semi-finished spell chip is considered complete.

……

Since mithril generally exists in a solid form, it needs to be converted into a liquid state when injected, which requires the use of magic, and once magic is used, a more violent elemental transmutation reaction will occur.

The key to this step is to complete the injection in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, the channel of the reserved mithril component is extremely small, and any more and faster elemental transmutation reactions during the period will greatly affect the purity of the finished mithril component.

And the purity of the mithril component is related to the frequency of the element transmutation reaction when the actual spell is generated after the subsequent link to the magic net.

To put it simply, if the purity is not enough, then the spell chip is prone to accidents when it is connected to the magic net. Even if there is no accident when it is connected to the magic net, it will definitely cause an accident when it is activated.

Maybe it will explode in one hand!

Therefore, Xia Duo was extremely nervous at the moment, and at the same time calm to the extreme. These two very contradictory mental states appeared on him at the same time, just for a small magic chip.

The last time he had this kind of mentality was when he learned the first spell. At that time, he was also like this now. He was nervous and excited, but at the same time he tried his best to restrain himself and keep himself calm.

Fortunately, Xia Duo never let himself down at critical moments. He operated the alchemy circle calmly and calmly, turning a mithril grain the size of a soybean into a liquid state, and driving it to enter through the "entrance" of the chip base.

Counting "1, 2, 3" silently, a trace of extremely thin, almost invisible mithril liquid flowed out from the "exit" of the chip base.

But Xia Duo didn't wait for it to flow out more, and controlled the alchemy circle to throw the suspended chip into the adamantine liquid at the other end of the suspension field.

Inject Mithril and fine gold packaging, all in one go!
The final formed chip body is a faint blue fine gold ball with a diameter about the size of a human pupil.

Although it's called "chip", it's more like Xia Duo borrowed the name of a similar item in his cognition. In fact, the distribution of mithril components inside the spell chip is roughly an irregular spherical shape in space.

Based on the principle of not wasting too much, the fine gold used for packaging naturally takes on a spherical shape.

Of course, this is just the distribution of the internal mithril components of this [Protective Force Field] spell chip. Considering the mutual coordination mechanism of multiple spell fusions, Xia Duo deliberately designed it into a spherical shape.

If you don't pursue spell fusion and only use normal stacking, then it may be more reasonable to design an array layout.

In that case, the spell chip can really be designed as a "chip".

……

I put a large fine gold ball on my hand, in fact, a small half of it was occupied by Mithril, almost the size of a soybean.

But that little mithril grain the size of soybeans fully used up the basic mithril share of Xia Duo's laboratory for nearly half a month.

If it hadn't been for the completion of a lot of level 1 projects in the laboratory during this period of time, and a lot of projects were approved at the same time, he really couldn't squeeze out so much Mithril to make chips.

Regardless of the hard work and equipment wear and tear, just counting the mithril itself, for this little bit of high-purity mithril, more than 50 pounds were consumed before and after. The main plane of Netheril can be called Standard mithril for high quality mithril.

In the end, Xia Duo didn't dare to test its purity when he got such a small amount, because the test itself would either consume the total amount or reduce the purity, neither of which was acceptable to him.
