Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1291 Extending Lifespan and Promoting Rhodes
Next, Xia Duo continuously and repeatedly activated the [Force Field Shield] chip, trying to obtain the life limit of the chip, but until Ross came to him, he failed to find any abnormality in the chip.

The higher the purity of the mithril thread, the higher the mana flux, and at the same time, the less likely it is to undergo element transmutation reactions, but correspondingly——

If the mithril thread is thinner, the mana flux will be lower, and at the same time, the element transmutation reaction will be more likely to occur.

The elemental transmutation reaction will reduce the purity of the Mithril thread, reducing the flux of magic energy. After reaching a certain level, it will lead to the failure of the energy circuit.

That is, the "life limit" in the usual sense.

The mithril thread used in Xia Duo's trial-produced [Force Field Shield] chip is extremely thin, so thin that it cannot be made directly, but it must be etched in the substrate and then injected with mithril liquid.

According to his initial judgment, as long as it is triggered more than ten times, the probability of obvious anomalies will increase to the point where it is difficult to ignore.

But now, he has stimulated it no less than thirty times, but there is nothing abnormal.

This means that Xia Duo made a mistake in judging the nature of Mithril, and when the purity reaches a certain level, more magical properties may appear.

Or, the purity of the previously untested mithril grains is far higher than expected, making the final service life longer.

If it is a sudden change in the nature of mithril, it means that mithril with almost infinite purity is not needed to meet the development of the chip industry in the future;

And if the purity of the previous Mithril material is higher than expected, it also means that [Element Extraction] is more efficient in refining high-purity Mithril.

This means that the consumption of Mithril materials by the chip industry in the future will be much less than expected.

These two possibilities, no matter what they are, are rare good news for Xia Duo.

It is also very easy to verify, you only need to repeat the previous steps of preparing materials, and then test its purity and mana flux.

But now, Xia Duo is not going to do this. On the one hand, the Mithril reserves in the laboratory are no longer enough to support him to carry out a high-consuming experiment. In addition, Ross is still waiting for him!

Xia Duo had a rough idea of ​​why Ross was looking for him. If there was no accident, it should be that Ross's Level 1 project on the structure of the "Sith Ring" was completed, and he wanted his signature and evaluation.

……

in the lounge.

Xia Duo casually took the summary report of the research project that Ross handed over carefully, opened it, and a strong academic wind came over his face.

From topic selection, conception, to analysis, experiments, and finally to conclusions, the full text of the report is well-structured and detailed, and even the sources of cited materials and experimental consumption are attached at the end.

The full name of Ross's research project is "Practical application and research on the practical application and research of two special equivalent transformations of the fifth layer of the magic net 'Sith ring' structure in the magic ring".

The so-called "Sith ring" refers to a group of magic element units discovered and named by the Sith archanist. It is essentially a specific combination of the magic net's fifth layer of magic net strings.

But in the past, the remnants of the empire had already studied the Sith ring in great detail, and it was not easy for Ross to innovate, so he could only start with several special equivalent transformations of it.

It can barely be regarded as a special research project that focuses on experiments that has not been studied before.

Of course, there is no doubt that this is a level 1 project.

For Xia Duo, the so-called "Sith ring" structure has actually been discovered in the main plane long ago, and he is still very familiar with it.

The design blueprint of the Tower of Time's "upgrading and upgrading" backup magic circle system included the "Sith Ring" structure. When Xia Duo first came into contact with this, he hadn't become a high-level mage yet!

Looking at this report now, there is always a feeling of going back to the past.

After carefully reading the report twice, and confirming that there was nothing too serious, Xia Duo took a pen and signed the name of "McCard" on the cover of the report, and left the document that was previously stored in the management center of the research institute. magic mark.

Of course, it is also necessary to give Ross an "excellent" evaluation.

Seeing the big "excellent" mark on the project report, Ross grinned excitedly, smiling like a three-year-old child. He held the report tightly in his arms, and said excitedly:

"My lord, thank you very much. With this evaluation, when I advance to become an arcanist, I can immediately apply for the rank of a researcher."

"This is what you deserve."

That being said, the facts are indeed like this, but Ross is still very grateful to "McCard". If he is still in Braddo's laboratory, the last "above average" evaluation may still be delayed for several years!

"Send the report to the management center! This is the laboratory's first project to apply for approval. There should be no suspense in passing it. I'll congratulate you in advance, Researcher Ross!"

"Ok!"

Ross nodded, responded heavily, and then trotted out of the lounge with excited steps, and continued to run outside the laboratory.

……

After a while, Xia Duo received a summons from Ross. During the summons, Ross mentioned that the project report had been approved by the management center, and thanked Xia Duo again.

Two days later, Ross invited Xia Duo to observe his advancement. Xia Duo was quite surprised by this. At first, he thought that Ross's promise to open the observation of his advancement process was a casual talk, but he didn't expect it to come true now.

However, he did not refuse.

Although he himself knew the process of advanced arcanists well, he had never observed other people's advancement, whether it was on the main plane or the projected plane!
Maybe there will be some unexpected gains in this observation!
……

In the narrow corridor.

Xia Duo and Ross were walking side by side, but the direction they were heading moved Xia Duo's heart, and he asked subconsciously, "Are you going to take the second step this time?"

"Yes, I received a notice from the management center, and arranged for me to go to the No. 001 laboratory on the second floor to advance."

"Laboratory 001 on the negative second floor?"

This laboratory number inevitably reminded Xia Duo of the laboratory No. 003 of Vice President Samuel before. Could it be that he was going to the laboratory of the Dean?
He threw this question to Ross, but he didn't want Ross to give an unexpected answer: "Laboratory No. 002 is the dean's laboratory, and No. 001 is prepared for advanced arcanists. Others The researchers are all advanced there."

In terms of understanding of the research institute, Xia Duo couldn't keep up with Ross if he flattered him. Since Ross said so, he basically believed that it was so.

Being able to leave the No. 001 laboratory to the advanced level instead of the director of the research institute can somewhat explain the importance attached to high-level mages and advanced arcanists.
