216. Electromagnetic waves
"How's the mechanical core?"
Adam didn't have a good idea of this for the time being, all he could think of was the alchemist's set, adding a mechanical structure to Sophia's elemental body, and using the alchemy core to drive the magic.
However, there are some drawbacks to this, although the elemental body and the mechanical body are not weak for official mages, they are still two different systems, and it is impossible to fit perfectly when they appear on the same body at the same time.
Unsurprisingly, Mage Meredith said something similar: "But..."
Adam understood what she meant, since the mage said so, there must be a way for her to solve it, and now it is nothing more than wanting to get more money from himself, so he is very interesting: "Do you have a better way?"
The mage took out a mass of rhythmic jumps and constantly created a circular core that emitted magical power: "This is the biological core produced in my laboratory, there is a transformation magic array inside, which can convert other kinds of energy ingested by the transformed body into magic power in a ratio of five to one, the effect is not bad, no irreversible rejection has been found for the time being, but the price is a little expensive, ten times that of the same level of mechanical core." β
"Yes. β
Although it is very expensive, Adam thought about it for a while and chose to agree, the core value of the machinery that Sophia can use now is about one thousand units of ether crystals, ten times that is nearly ten thousand, and Adam feels that even if he pays the balance of the stable space ordered from the Second Element Saint Tower, he can afford it.
Anyway, tens of thousands of war mages in the world of Katos will bring him a lot of benefits every day.
"Are there any other requirements than that?"
"This young dragon is mentally underdeveloped and has zero will to fight, I hope you can change her will to fight, or simply implant another personality in her soul. β
Mage Meredith agreed, and asked again and said his offer after learning that Adam had no other requirements, after removing the value of the creature core, this transformation would cost a total of 17,000 units of complete aether crystals, and Adam happily paid the deposit.
After negotiating a deal, Mage Meredith's mood became very good, and the aura of charm became even stronger, and she smiled and said, "Adam, you are an exploration mage, right?
Adam nodded and said, "Yes." β
"I also have a good thing here, which can neutralize the repulsion of the energy of the summoned creatures by the plane origin, and cover up the magical aura on their bodies, only five hundred units of aether crystals, do you need them?"
Adam was stunned, he didn't expect this kind of technology to exist, if so: "Your Excellency, then I..."
Mage Meredith shook his head, "You can't. When you are promoted from an apprentice to a full-fledged mage, your soul has already undergone a metamorphosis, which is closely related to the origin of the mage world, there is no means to cover it, most of the natives of the plane will only have this kind of transformation when they become a fifth-level creature, and this little dragon has a low-level soul even after transformation, so it can be concealed. β
Adam knew this, and it was no wonder that if this technique could be used on the mage itself, the Explorer would not be so dangerous.
This solution solved Adam's previous worries about whether he could successfully complete the summoning, and it was only 500 units, Adam did not need to hesitate, and even handed over the strongest of the forest elves to Mage Meredith.
The mage was satisfied, the transformation was a breeze for her, and she had an entire lab of assistants to work with, making it easy to earn a single resource.
"Well, then, happy cooperation, I will send the reformed slaves to you within a month. β
After the mage left, the devil sat down on the ground, unwilling to even maintain his transformation, and flowed like a puddle of sewage at Adam's feet.
Adam asked, somewhat strangely, "What's wrong with you?"
The 'sewage' trembled a few times, and the devil cried and said, "Master, I almost died... Oh my God, how could there be such a terrible mage!"
Adam's head spun around a few times, and an incredible inference came to mind: "You're not going to provoke her, are you?"
The devil's will body spread out like smoke, lying all over the ground, and the voice came from all directions: "Master, who would have thought that a maid serving tea and pouring water in the mission area would actually be a clone of a fourth-level mage?
"And then?"
Adam had to admire the devil's ability to find death, and it is estimated that if it weren't for the contract on his body, he would not be able to die anymore.
"And..."The devil squeaked and didn't answer, thinking that he had suffered a lot, "Master, she has a succubus blood forever, this level of charm, I think she slaughtered a world!"
βββ
After the matter of summons and slaves was settled, Adam began to work on his own research.
The concept of the atom has long existed in the mage world, whether it is an apothecary mage or an alchemist, their research involves the atomic level, but they do not study the finer particles. Adam didn't think that a mage who loved to study would not want to know what else was inside the atom, and there were two reasons why he had not been able to find out so far, one was that the existence of the aether made the atom more stable and indivisible, and the other was that even if he only knew that there were atoms, the potion and the alchemist were powerful enough.
When Adam first obtained the Elemental True Body Cultivation Method, he thought that it would take a lot of time and resources for him to discover and verify the existence of electrons, but the harvest of the world of Katos and the progress of the clone's research on electromagnetic waves greatly accelerated this process.
If Adam is not mistaken, the energy beam of the radiating creature is composed of alpha rays, beta rays and gamma rays, among these three rays, the alpha rays are helium nuclei flow, gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, and beta rays are electron beams, which are formed by the ejection of electrons in swarms.
Without a physical reference, the process of deriving and verifying the discovery from scratch is extremely difficult, but it would be much easier if Adam could isolate and analyze the energy attack of the radiating organism and separate the beta rays from it and reverse the electrons.
To do this, we must first refine the theory of electromagnetic waves, map out a relatively complete electromagnetic spectrum in the etheric environment, and then separate the gamma rays.
The clones are progressing well, and the propagation of electromagnetic oscillations in the aetheric environment has been successfully observed, and Adam's first step is to conduct a large number of comparative experiments to record the pattern of the phenomenon.
Adam suspended the current project of the clone, and recovered and destroyed all units, and re-cloned them with more powerful cells after his promotion to Level 2, the new clone can carry more computing power and more energy, making the experiment more efficient.
The linear open oscillator made of clones is to weld a copper ball at one end of two copper rods, and place a square zinc block at each end, two copper rods are placed on the same straight line, leaving a gap between the two balls, connecting them at both ends of the secondary coil of the induction coil, and then releasing an electric shock to it, when the electric element reaches a certain level, the gap is broken by sparks, and the copper rods at both ends are connected into a conductive path, at this time it is equivalent to an oscillating dipole, which provokes high-frequency oscillation, but due to the continuous escape loss of energy, the high-frequency oscillation attenuates quickly, and the observation has great chanceγ
Adam bent a mythril wire into a torus, and soldered a Mithril ball that can adjust the distance at the open end of the ring, and made a resonant dipole as a geophone, he placed this geophone next to the oscillator, when the oscillator is energized, if the two ends of the geophone are sparked due to resonance, the alternating electromagnetic field generated by the oscillator will generate a new electromagnetic field in the etheric space, that is, electromagnetic waves appear in space.
Adam made hundreds of copies of the instrument, leaving each clone to operate and record independently.
There is no problem with the idea, but the experiment is not as easy as imagined, the aetheric environment is too lazy and stable, although there are occasional electric sparks, but there are too few samples to confirm the existence of electromagnetic waves.
Adam began to control each clone to keep enough distance between them, and used magic to create an energy vacuum between them so that they didn't interfere with each other.
The experiment was inevitably carried out in the form of exhaustive methods, but because all the members of the Adam Laboratory, including Adam, did not need to rest and did not make mistakes, the progress was not very slow.
Ten days later, Adam roughly summed up a stable frequency, and finally after injecting a high-voltage pulse current into the instrument with his own hands, he found a faint electric spark bursting out of the crack, and Adam immediately sent this frequency down to the minds of all the clones, and the same result appeared on their instrument, the electric spark kept jumping, and accompanied by the birth of a new electromagnetic field.
This result confirms that electromagnetic oscillations can propagate in etheric space, and thus confirms the existence of electromagnetic waves.
The new knowledge turned into runes and entered the soul, and Adam's soul became more powerful, but this knowledge could not be applied yet, because he had not yet been able to measure the rate and frequency of electromagnetic waves.
Without hesitation or rest, Adam immediately began the next step of verification.
Adam entered a room in a completely aetheric environment, the walls covered with a metal plate to reflect electromagnetic waves. When the incident wave and the reflected wave are superimposed, a standing wave will be generated, and Adam uses an instrument to observe the standing wave in different directions and at different distances, the place where the spark is brighter is the crest and trough, and the place where there is no spark at all is the zero value in between.
After obtaining some data, Adam traveled to the Outer Void alone through the Santa Teleportation Hall to observe the void environment, and found that the values were basically the same as those obtained in the laboratory.
After a full day of meticulous calculations, Adam came up with the wavelength of the observed electromagnetic waves. After multiplying this value by the frequency of the oscillating spark, the rate of electromagnetic waves is calculated, and the aetheric environment is no different from the universe where the earth is located in this physical quantity, the rate of electromagnetic waves is equal to the speed of light, and light is also a type of electromagnetic wave in the mage world.
From this, it can be concluded that the wave velocity is equal to the wavelength multiplied by the frequency, that is, the frequency is equal to the wave velocity divided by the wavelength.
After reaching this conclusion, Adam's body and soul changed again, and the flickering runes continued to condense and try to enter the soul, some of which succeeded, bringing further strength to the soul, but the other part disappeared naturally and failed to enter the soul.
Because of the psychological shadow, the devil has been obediently staying in the laboratory during the experiment, and he didn't dare to disturb Adam, but he was alone and kept breaking his thoughts, and now he asked in a low voice after seeing the vision that the knowledge was established and partially shattered: "Master, did the experiment fail?"
Adam shook his head and nodded, the experiment was successful, but the conclusion was incomplete.
"Wave-particle duality..."
The devil was about to ask, confused, when he heard Adam interrupt him: "I can't explain it now, and it's not something I'm capable of studying now." β
The devil kept silent, and even if Adam explained it, he didn't understand it, and the reason why he talked was simply because it was too boring.
Adam ordered the clone to sort out all the data of this experiment, and according to the experiment report to start the research of derived magic and technology, the clone is mainly to study radio waves, once the frequency of this band is thoroughly discovered and verified, Adam can start to create some simple communication magic and alchemy items, which is the only way that electromagnetic wave knowledge can bring him a lot of benefits at this stage.
And in Adam's vision, this income will be very high, perhaps not lower than the value brought by the civilian use of electrical elements.
Adam himself used the knowledge he had gained to try to create magic that would make it easier to observe the wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves.
βββ
Time passed quickly, the month promised by Mage Meredith had come to an end, and just as Adam was immersed in the creation of magic, Mage Meredith returned to the laboratory.
The devil swooped back into Adam's mind, still not having the courage to face the mage.
In the middle of the hall, the mage looked at Adam and was amazed: "It's only been a month, and you seem to have gotten stronger?"
Adam said lightly: "There has been a breakthrough in research, Your Excellency, has the transformation been completed?"
Mage Meredith reached out and pointed into the void, the portal flickered, and she spread her palm towards Adam, and a pocket dragon the size of her palm appeared in front of Adam.
"Of course it's done, the transformation is going well, the creature core and the elemental body fit perfectly, the little guy is now equivalent to a third-level creature, as long as it grows naturally for a period of time, it can become a fourth-level creature. β
Adam reached out and took the little dragon, and a huge amount of energy came from his small body, this energy was very obedient, and Adam felt that he could easily mobilize it.
He couldn't help but ask, "How did it become so small?"
"The little guy is very talented, after the transformation, the elemental body is permanent, according to your requirements, I designed two forms for her..."
