Chapter 2394 Plan to scrap the first phase of the experiment is successful

Imaska ​​on the main plane, if nothing else, already has cheap materials that can replace Mithril, and Xia Duo got the creation formula that can replace standard Mithril materials from there.

Obviously, there are other materials that are better than high-purity mithril, otherwise he would not have given him the only superior material creation formula.

But there is a big flaw in the creation material, that is, once the composition of the material changes slightly, the overall properties of the material will change dramatically.

Specifically, the energy-conducting material that replaces Mithril is good when it is first used, but once the material undergoes an elemental transmutation reaction due to energy-conducting, and some of the constituent substances deteriorate, the material as a whole loses most of its energy-conducting properties up.

This is different from Mithril. Mithril also deteriorates due to the transmutation reaction of elements, but the reason why it can conduct energy is because of its own characteristics, not the combined characteristics of multiple substances. The influence of the characteristics also occurs gradually.

In other words, magical facilities and equipment made of mithril materials can barely continue to operate even if they are not maintained for a long time, but if composite materials are made of creation magic, as long as the material deteriorates slightly, the equipment and facilities are likely to stop immediately .

Perhaps the manufacturing cost of the latter is low enough, but in many fields, cost is not the main consideration at all, and fewer inspections and maintenance times are the key.

But it is undeniable that creation materials are still extremely competitive on the main plane. Even in the manufacture of some low-end magic items, Xia Duo prefers to use creation materials—the cost is low and it is convenient to plan scrapping.

It’s just that the premise of all this is that Mithril cannot be artificially synthesized. Once Mithril can be artificially synthesized, no matter how high-grade and low-cost the energy-conducting material on Imasca’s side is, in the face of almost no-cost artificially synthesized Mithril , are brothers.

However, according to what Xia Duo learned from the Chixin Alliance, the alliance has not yet found the elemental composition of Mithril. Perhaps researchers will discover it in the next moment, and it may not be possible to discover it in another thousand and five hundred years.

At least based on the current development status of the Red Heart Alliance, this is indeed the case.

……

Soon, one semester passed.

The independent project funded by Xia Duo has also reached a critical point. The theoretical verification part has been completed, and the next step is the actual construction test.

However, any research involving matter cannot escape this hurdle in the end, and as long as the non-matter node mythlock passes the theoretical verification, as long as the construction process does not go wrong, there will probably not be any problems.

Matter is indeed a very magical realm.

This afternoon, in the practice base of Class 24, Xia Duo was constructing a fan lock with [-] other students. Besides their team members, Maruent's daughter Anna also ran over to cheer for her father.

At the construction site, Xia Duo glanced at Anna with a dignified expression in the distance, and felt a bit like a father in his heart. The current construction does not require too much concentration, he only needs to stare at the process of the main builder's spellcasting.

And he is not the only one watching, there are four other monitors, who are always paying attention to various parameters in the process of building the magic lock, such as the vibration state of the magic net, the state of energy transmission, the stability of the node material, and so on.

For the team, this experiment may be an unknown attempt, but for Xia Duo, the result was known very early.

It's nothing more than re-engraving the floating city fan lock on the main plane, and after some improvements, there will be basically no problems. He is already looking forward to the second phase of the floating fortress project.

"Emile, stay focused! There is an abnormal energy fluctuation on the fourth node, check whether there is any mistake in the previous operation!" Otom reminded suddenly.

"The operation is correct, and it is suspected to be caused by the insufficient conductivity of the node material." Amir replied calmly.

Afterwards, there was no need for Ottom to report to Xia Duo. After hearing the reply, Xia Duo immediately focused his attention on the body of the fourth node—a golden pillar ten centimeters thick and half a meter high.

Gold is also a substance that cannot be artificially synthesized at present, but because the alliance has long started using credit currency, gold is only used as a material. Compared with the relatively low cost of collection and smelting, the reason why the price is not low is because it is indeed a It is a relatively excellent energy-conducting material, which is often used in various experiments.

On the other hand, it has to be said that the countries of the Everesca Alliance and other neutral countries have not yet started to use credit currency, and they still use precious metals, including gold.

And the gold price of the Red Heart Alliance is lower than the normal price, so many foreign businessmen doing business here will consciously buy the belief currency of the Red Heart Alliance into gold, and then ship it back to their home countries.

After doing this several times, the price of gold in the Red Heart Alliance has risen a little bit, almost equal to the purchasing power of gold in other countries.

It wasn't until the Red Heart Alliance restricted the purchase of gold by foreign merchants that the continuously rising gold price dropped a bit.

Otherwise, Xia Duo would not necessarily choose gold as the node of the fanlock. Among all substances, the stability of gold can go to the forefront, and the relatively good energy conduction characteristics make it almost the best node material of the traditional fanlock choose.

Since there is the best, of course there are second best and second best, such as crystal, mithril, or a combination of various materials, but in the end, it is better to use pure gold.

Right now, Jin Zhu, the fourth node of Xia Duo's experiment, seems to have had an accident. He didn't doubt the node itself at first, but suspected that it might be a mistake in the spell-casting operation like Ottom did.

But the problem is that he recalled the operator's spell-casting process, but he didn't find any mistakes. In addition to the monitoring of the test status by the other four monitors, he only discovered abnormal fluctuations in the energy of the fourth node just now.

Emir said that it might be caused by the lack of conductivity of the gold pillar at the fourth node, and Xia Duo decided to try to verify it.

In a blink of an eye, he designed a verification process, and then used countless participants in the subconscious level of the Lingsi network to perform distributed calculations, and he came up with the answer almost instantly——

There is a relationship between the abnormal energy fluctuation of the fourth node and the conductivity of the gold pillar of the node, but the relationship is not significant. He even judged that such an abnormal energy fluctuation will not affect the normal function of Misuo.

Of course, there will definitely be other effects, which will shorten the maintenance cycle of Mysuo, and at the same time increase the maintenance cost.

If it was in the normal construction stage, Xia Duo might have stopped it, but it is still in the verification stage, so he let Emil and the others continue.

……

I don't know how long it has passed, and Ottom announced that the experimental fan lock was successfully completed, and at this time, Anna, who had been on the sidelines before, went out to bring Xia Duo and the others some temporary food to satisfy their hunger.

"Dad, did the experiment go well?"

"With you here, of course everything will go well!"

Next, Xia Duo's team took a temporary break, ate some food that Anna brought over, and then continued to inspect the mythos and conduct a series of tests on the mythos.

Finally, it was announced that the experimental results met expectations.
