Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1577
When he first arrived here, Xia Duo noticed that more than half of the ten arcane crystal extractors had been destroyed, and the magic aura displayed by the remaining ones was also in an unstable state.

Xia Duo estimated that it would be difficult to achieve the ideal output state.

Near the surface of the island, Niya was excitedly flying up and down around the several arcane crystal extractors, grabbing a handful of standard arcane crystals from time to time, and then letting go to grab a handful again.

Due to the extremely weak gravity of the blue crystal plane, the arcane crystals that Niya casually dropped fell very slowly, and soon covered a large space.

Under the illumination of the [Mythra] device not far away, it looks like a string of shining teardrops.

After Xia Duo arrived, he cast a spell to gather all the arcane energy crystals together and stack them neatly. Since the standard arcane energy crystals have a fixed size, Xia Duo roughly judged the number of this batch of arcane energy crystals at a glance.

Almost around 12 pieces, which is a fifth less than his original estimate of 15 pieces!

"is acceptable."

"What's okay! There are so many, and it only took six days. It's hard to imagine how many arcane energy crystals we will have in a year's time!"

Compared to Xia Duo's calmness and even faint dissatisfaction, Niya looked much more optimistic. She was walking around the crystal cube with a good size of Xia Duo, whose side length was almost half a meter. The smile never stopped.

"Calm down, this is just the beginning, we will never be short of Arcane Crystals in the future!"

Xia Duo reminded, and then quickly changed the subject, "I'm going to ask you a question, you go and check those Ao Neng crystal extractors to see why they are damaged?"

Having said that, Niya was indeed attracted attention. Seeing the appearance of those arcane crystal extractors, she was surprised and said, "Why are the ones you made damaged, but the one I made is not broken?"

"Go check it out!"

In fact, Xia Duo has already guessed the general reason. This should be regarded as an engineering problem. It is just that the time of the previous experiment in Severton was too tight. It only verified the feasibility of the Ao Neng crystal extractor, and did not carry out long-term, high-level research. Strength work test.

Niya hadn't reacted yet. She first checked the damaged ones made by Xia Duo, and then checked the ones she made herself.

After a while, Niya returned to Xia Duo and tentatively gave an answer: "The damage is related to the quality of the production. The better the quality, the easier it is to damage?"

But in fact, she herself didn't quite believe this answer. It was too counterintuitive, but the reality was there.

It is difficult to make a horizontal comparison between the damaged extractors made by Xia Duo, but among the few extractors she made, how many are still in standby mode!

Obviously, the later ones are more likely to be damaged. Although the first extractor she made before was of the worst quality, it was the best one among the ten extractors!
"Only half right!"

Xia Duo didn't give a shit, and quickly explained the real reason why these extractors were damaged, "These ten devices are in the same work sequence, and the one I made is at the front, and damage is almost an inevitable result under continuous high-intensity work.

"And the ones you made are a little rough, which makes their working status unstable. When they are in the working sequence, the working status of several devices will switch back and forth. The worst quality, it takes the least time to work, It’s also relatively easier to preserve.”

After listening to Xia Duo's explanation, Niya's mood at the moment is a bit complicated: "You mean, the few sets you made were all damaged first, and then the few sets I made were shared in the workload, which made me make Is it not completely destroyed?"

"Almost, and the last extractor I made, if nothing else happened, it should have been damaged only yesterday."

"Okay! So that's it!"

Niya sighed heavily, she thought she had discovered some special skills in the process of making magic items!I didn't expect it to be like this!
Immediately afterwards, she seemed to think of something, and asked quickly: "Then we have to make a new batch of extractors every time we come here? Or do we have to make them on the main plane and then bring them in?"

"It's not necessary." Xia Duo shook his head. "I didn't think about it before. I ignored the use limit of normal magic items. Just adjust the working frequency."

The main reason why normal magic items can be used for a long time is that the working time is very short, and the arcane crystal extractor responds almost every few seconds, and can run through the entire life of normal magic items in almost a day.

This is because the mithril materials used by Xia Duo are all high-purity mithril for making high-quality magic items. If it is replaced with ordinary mithril, it may not last for half a day.

There is another problem, which is also ignored by Xia Duo and even Iolum, and that is——

Now that arcane energy is extremely abundant, it is a bit outdated to use standard arcane energy crystals as the unit of measurement and the unit of spell extraction.

It needs to be replaced with a larger standard in order to match the increasing output power of [Mythra] in the future.

[Making Arcane Crystals] This spell is only a level 5 spell. The limit is to make a standard arcane crystal. If you change it to a higher-level spell, you may be able to produce more than [-] standard arcane crystals at one time. can be extracted.

Or, the arcane energy crystal should return to its original unit, and use the arcane energy value to calculate the size instead of using the standard arcane energy crystal to calculate the quantity.

According to the standard calculated and defined by Xia Duo before, if a standard arcane crystal is converted into arcane value, it is almost 1000 points.

And this is also the actual energy consumption of a standard 10-level spell.

In other words, he has obtained a total of 1.2 million arcane energy crystals in the past six days.

However, these are all conversions of some units. What standard to use depends on the actual situation, which is convenient for calculation or intuitive experience. Xia Duo is not ready to forcefully push the definition standard of 1 crystal = 1000 points for the time being.

"Niya, I will give you another task now!"

"What task? Are you not building a floating city?"

"Of course it will be built, but there is still some preparatory work to be done. During this period of time, you can help me design an extractor that can extract at least 1000 standard arcane crystals at one time."

The number 1000 is an approximate number obtained by Xia Duo considering the upper limit of the strength of the arcane energy field generated by the current [Mythra] device (the number of fields converted into arcane energy).

The strength of the arcane energy field is not constant, but is constantly increasing. However, it has an artificial upper limit. After exceeding the upper limit, the arcane energy produced by the [Mythra] device will be imported into the magic net instead of continuing to push High field strength.

The arcane energy of 1000 standard arcane energy crystals cannot be produced in an instant, but so many arcane energy crystals can be produced at one time, but it will greatly weaken the field strength.

During normal use, it will definitely limit the rate at which the field strength decreases, but now in order not to waste any arcane energy and at the same time prolong the service life of the arcane crystal extractor as much as possible, this is the only way to do it.
