Chapter 1025: Dismantling the Elemental Furnace (Part II)
The outermost shell is used to limit the way mana radiates, and the second layer is used to restrain mana in order to place bursts of mana.
As the dismantling work continued, Ziegler, who was a little excited at first, had now slowly regained his composure, and even had a little disappointment.
"No......" the legendary red dragon mage furrowed his brows, he was a little puzzled by what was happening in front of him.
"Why...... Why is the structure so rudimentary?"
According to their previous suspicions, the interior of the Elemental Furnace should be extremely delicate, but whether it is the outer shell, the second layer, or the third layer that is now being disassembled, each layer is so rudimentary—it is like a simple 'functional stack', and the runes and circles on each layer are serving the same purpose.
The 'Elemental Furnace' looked huge, thirty feet in diameter, and it took a lot of effort to get it out of that research facility in the first place.
They hadn't found a way to shut down the 'Elemental Furnace' at the beginning, and when this huge furnace was running at full power, the magic released in a short period of time could even destroy a storage bag, and Ziegler didn't have the money to create a 'half-dimensional space' of his own, so they had no choice but to throw it into the astral plane and retrieve it after leaving the institute.
However, this only looks huge, and after removing the outer shell and 'restraint layer', the volume of the Elemental Furnace is reduced by two-fifths.
Both the 'Restriction Layer' and the 'Constraint Layer' are made up of runes and circle tiles one after another, and as long as they are removed in order, there will be no major trouble.
And the two layers are not tightly connected, the two layers are supported and separated by dozens of Mithril short sticks engraved with runes, and the magic power flows between them, but they are firmly blocked by the runes and magic circles, and no half of them can be lost.
"The simpler the structure, the stronger it is!" the maid heard Ziegler's muttering, and said in passing, "To be honest, the more this kind of thing, the simpler the structure of the key positions, otherwise if something happens, the key parts will fall off or be damaged, then it will be a big trouble." ”
Now they're preparing to tear down the third layer, which they call the 'control layer'.
The first two floors had already been rehearsed many times, so it was fairly easy to disassemble, although it took a long time, but that was only because the Elemental Furnace was still running, and they needed to be cautious if they didn't want to detonate it.
In order to learn enough during the 'dismantling' process, they need to keep the 'Elemental Furnace' running at all times, and if they are careful enough, the Elemental Furnace will be able to be disassembled by them bit by bit.
But when the 'control layer' is removed, or before that, they need to shut down the Elemental Furnace, otherwise everyone knows what will happen.
Without being able to directly observe the operation of the Elemental Furnace, they would have much less to learn, but compared to the lives of those present, a mere 'Elemental Furnace' was not enough for them to pay this price.
Unlike the outer two layers, the 'Elemental Language' runes began to appear on the third layer.
If their guess is correct, the core of the Elemental Furnace should be a 'ring' channel, in which the materials symbolizing the 'four elements' are decomposed, water and fire are opposed, and earth and wind are opposed, and after the acceleration of the 'half circle', the elements with opposite properties collide, and then there is a 'annihilation reaction', releasing a large amount of magical power.
The decomposed 'elemental material' does not leave the annular channel, because the four elements need to be 'half a circle' to reach the relative element, and within this half circle, they are bound by the other two 'non-reactive' elements, and can only move within the channel, so they will inevitably reach the position of the opposite element.
In order to activate the 'Elemental Furnace', it is only necessary to apply some 'extra force' to the four elemental materials at the time of activation, which can push the decomposition of the materials, and thus create a 'Cycle of Annihilation'.
When the cycle is formed, it is when the Elemental Furnace starts to work and unleash its magic to the outside world.
The 'Control Layer' of the third layer uses the 'Elemental Language' to control the drift of mana, allowing the mana to form another cycle after this layer, using its own power to restrain its burst of energy to prevent the appearance of the 'Great Break'.
"Stop the Elemental Furnace!"
At the maid's command, the mages raised their hands and activated the runes on the control layer according to the plan that had just been worked out, but had already been checked hundreds of times.
The furnace of the Elemental Furnace began to tremble, and Serena and Ziegler silently stepped forward, while preparing for [Time to Stop].
At this time, Latinia, who was standing on the sidelines, took a deep breath, raised a hand, and 'grasped' the elemental furnace from afar.
The divine power imprisoned the surrounding magical power, and under the order of the gods, the boiling magic gradually returned to a calm state, but the trembling of the elemental furnace became more and more intense.
Cervantes frowned, Huo Ran stood up from the chair, the pitch-black scales extended from the head to the torso, the wings behind him stretched hard, and the muscles of the whole body tensed.
If something happens, he will unleash his [Legendary Stance] as soon as possible, and do his best to control the outbreak of the Elemental Furnace while Ziegler and Sera cast [Time Stop].
The mages stared nervously at the vibrating furnace, fearing that the furnace, which had been reduced by two-fifths in size, would suddenly explode.
However, under the hint of the red dragon, they can still ensure that their heads are cool, which is the most torturous, but they also hope so, even if they are under countless pressures and pains, they do not want to see their actions undone because of their own small mistakes.
They are all mages who yearn for the 'unknown', they are all scholars who carry 'knowledge', and there are probably not many people in this world who are more eager to obtain the knowledge related to the 'Elemental Furnace' than they are.
Now that this possibility is in front of their eyes, how can they be willing to give up!
The 'Cessation Rune' continued to shine, but the light of the 'Control Rune' dimmed little by little, and the tremor of the furnace began to soothe after reaching a peak.
But this was not the time to relax, everyone tensed up, and the [Food Hunter] quietly unfolded his [Legendary Posture] at this moment, and his sharp gaze swept every corner of the warehouse.
Although not many people know about this matter, they are not afraid of ten thousand, and if something really happens, then their loss will be great - according to her agreement with the head maid of Serena, if there are no major problems after the operation, she will be able to taste new delicacies, and at least more than 'twenty'!
The word 'eat' was used throughout the first half of her life, and will continue to be used for the rest of her life.
The speed of the elemental furnace's trembling slowed down, and the surging mana stopped boiling, so Latinia let go of her hand and let it escape outward, which was then absorbed and stored by the 'magic pool' placed on the wall of the warehouse.
When the trembling completely stopped, the maid and the red dragon immediately led the people to dismantle the control plate of the 'activating' elemental furnace.
After the 'control layer' was completely removed, they were greeted by an elliptical sphere that was a quarter the size of the original furnace.
This ellipsoidal sphere is engraved with dense runes and magic circles, which are nested within each other to form a perfect and complete spell matrix!
Looking at that matrix, Ziegler was instantly stunned.
"It's so beautiful...... the frenzy in his eyes seemed to burn, and his words expressed the feelings of all the mages present.
Yes, it was so beautiful that they simply couldn't continue to disassemble it, and the operation ended here -
They don't have anything to gain!
