"Well, Badigal didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
"No, I just said some ordinary things."
Xia Duo was not prepared to continue on this topic. He knew very well that Iolum might not agree with his approach, but it was just that it would not be good for everyone if some things were revealed.
Fortunately, at this moment, Iolum was more concerned about the independent arcane fire device experiment than other matters, so he briefly asked but did not continue.
In the laboratory, Xia Duo did not come for only two days. The stasis field he had built privately to preserve the David string had been replaced by a formal storage environment with a larger coverage area.
The new stasis field has preserved hundreds of David strings that are like ice threads and filled with blue magical aura. It seems that although he has not been here in the past two days, Iolum himself is not idle either.
.
"Teacher, do you want to start now?" Xia Duo asked.
"Start now and try to ensure that there are more than a hundred David strings in the stasis field for use. In your spare time, you can come over and observe the process of making the arcane fire device."
After saying that, Iolum activated the large levitation field in the center of the laboratory. Then he took a Davy string from the stasis field and flew it into the levitation field to start the first step of production.
Since there are currently more than a hundred David strings preserved in the stasis field, Shado did not rush to make them. Instead, he walked to the edge of the suspension field and carefully observed Iolum's movements.
David's string is essentially the material projection of arcane energy from the strings of the magic network. It is not a real substance, its properties are very unstable, and it can only last for a short time under normal conditions.
Therefore, after leaving the stasis field, you must connect to the magic network as soon as possible.
Shado noticed that Iolum completely regarded this special material as a substitute for mithril. He first manipulated the David string to form a component that mapped specific spell elements, and then linked it with the magic network. While the energy circulated, the wearer wore
The properties of dimensional strings have also temporarily stabilized.
If this level of energy flux is maintained, the Davy string will continue to exist, and due to its "superconducting" properties, it will not deteriorate due to "element transmutation reactions" like mithril.
.
It is indeed a new material with very broad application prospects!
…
As the first Davy string component was completed, Iolum waited and observed for a while before starting to make the next component.
This method of making carrier components and linking them at the same time has extremely high requirements for fault tolerance. Generally, magic items will only be linked to the magic network when all carrier components are completed.
In this way, if there are any mistakes in the past, just redo a certain carrier component alone. When the magic network is finally connected, because the spell casting is more concentrated and relatively complete, the difficulty of linking is almost the same as the actual casting difficulty of the spell.
In this production method of making carrier components and linking the magic network at the same time, if any step in the middle is wrong, there will be no chance to modify it.
Just like a program is written and tested while running, it is necessary to ensure that the final program meets the design requirements, so the code cannot make errors. However, in many cases, if you do not test, you will not know whether the code is error-free.
This requires programmers to consider everything before starting to write code, which is equivalent to simulating all possible scenarios in their minds beforehand, and then choosing a complete solution that includes all codes and makes the program meet the requirements.
Of course, this is only theoretically feasible, and human factors still need to be considered in actual situations.
Humans are not machines. Of course, mistakes may occur, similar to pressing the wrong key when typing code. In fact, even machines will have errors, but they are more stable than humans.
In fact, the producer needs to think twice before taking every step to make sure that there will be no mistakes before taking action.
Chateau has seen the design drawings of the independent arcane fire device. A single arcane fire sequence contains thousands of elements, each element corresponds to a David string component, and the entire device has a total of 124 arcane fire sequences.
(When a high-level mage advances to an arcanist, the arcane fire created also contains thousands of spell elements. The casting time is very long and it is not a conventional spell. See Chapter 501 for details)
Counting other ancillary support elements, such an independent arcane fire device contains at least millions of spell elements. In the same way, it also means millions of Davy string components, and millions of linked magic network actions that independently calculate the probability of error.
.
Calculating this, the probability that this independent arcane fire device can be successfully completed is almost 0. It is simply a miracle that Iolum was able to complete an experiment before!
Seeing Iolum working meticulously, Sha Duo was filled with admiration!
…
As the number of David strings stored in the stasis field became less and less, falling below 60, Shado knew it was time to play his role.
The spell to make David's String is very simple, but the focus is not on the spell itself, but on the spell-casting environment, "the material projection of the arcane energy by the magic web string", the most important of which is the arcana energy that acts as the spell medium.
If the caster is not an arcanist, then he can only choose to consume arcane crystals when casting spells. When David initially studied "The Material Projection of Elements by the String of the Magic Network", he consumed a large amount of reserves in the Tower of Time's elemental pool.
as a projection medium.
When the arcanist casts a spell, the arcane energy as the projection medium will be consumed first, but after the David String is generated, it will be returned to the arcane fire, which is equivalent to no consumption.
At this stage, the independent arcane fire device has not yet achieved positive returns. If it continues to consume arcane crystals, even the Grand Arcanist will not be able to support several experiments.
Xia Duo's current arcane power limit is about 1,000. The actual arcane energy medium required for a single cast requires at least 10 points. You can also invest more arcana. The more you invest, the longer the David's string generated in a single time.
David's string can be regarded as a "true two-dimensional" material, which is also similar to the string of the magic network. It only has the concept of length and no concept of thickness.
The thickness seen by the normal naked eye is actually a combination of magical aura and spontaneous interference field glow.
If it is a real magic network string, there will be neither magic aura nor spontaneous interference field. It is all restrained. Magic aura will only appear when the magic elements are formed.
The interference field glow will only appear when the closed state of the magic network string is broken.
The performance of David String is more like proof of its incompleteness, and also indicates that it still has greater room for improvement.
Of course, if it is really the same as the String of the Magic Network, we must consider the possibility of being assimilated by the Magic Network.
The arcanist's arcane fire is made of real leyline strings, but it must be combined with the caster's will to prevent it from being assimilated by the outside leyline environment.
Another development direction for independent arcane fire devices is to avoid the assimilation of the Magic Network and use real Magic Network strings. In that case, the prospects will be even broader!
