Chapter 104: Magic Report
Mao Kai was a genius spellcaster, and after forming a meditation space, he became an out-and-out mid-level mage in a month.
He is also an excellent researcher, who has made many breakthroughs in the methodology of studying magic, and has also put forward many ideas in the theory of magic, and is determined to establish a "modern magic theory system".
But he is not a good teacher, he thinks quickly and speaks quickly, but he is often immersed in his own world, not caring whether the audience can understand or not, and many of you have not been able to keep up with the rhythm in class.
It's the same today, after entering the door, Mao Kai connected the projector with a set of large magic crystal batteries, connected his notebook, and began to get straight to the topic.
"As you know, I've been talking about the three steps to modernizing magic, which is to figure out the three basic questions: what is magic, why is it the way it is, and what do we need to do?"
"The answer to the first question, we started thinking about it when we first encountered magic. Not only me, but everyone else here has come up with all sorts of hypotheses. But for those who have not really been exposed to magic, this is undoubtedly a blind man's touch to an elephant.
Because at that time we didn't really have access to the object of our study. Note that I'm not talking about magic here, not sound and light effects. It's the kind of ...... behind the effects of the magic Something, we can call it magic for a moment.
But after I became a magician, things changed dramatically. I observed magic, and I was able to use it. I could feel it as a medium, between me and those elements that were really making the difference.
This contrast between the past and the back gives me a kind of inspiration. I looked at magic before and after I became a magician, and there was only one variable that changed, and that was my spirit, which showed that magic had the property of reacting with spirit.
It can also mobilize the elements of nature, which shows that it also has the property of reacting with matter.
So I came up with the hypothesis that magic, an element unique to this world, has both spiritual and material properties, and that's why we can cast spells. ”
There was a buzz of discussion from the crowd below. Even Luo Ling's two earrings didn't stop.
Milda said, "This man thinks very differently from his father. ”
"What does your father think?" asked Luo Ling.
"My father believes that the source of magic is a ball in another dimension, and the essence of spiritual power to exert magic is to break through the space and absorb the energy on the source power ball. In fact, the purpose of their "Secret Index" was to find this space. ”
"Since the time of the Seven Towers, there have been many speculations, but no one has been able to prove themselves right. Guessing these things, it's better to practice a few more spells and smash them on the heads of those gods one by one. ”
Mao Kai continued: "In order to prove this hypothesis, I designed a series of experiments, but it was not until the dwarves recently joined us and provided a lot of materials that were left over from the Black Dragon Empire era that I was able to gradually refine my experiments. ”
"As you know, when a magician releases magic, no one else can feel it except for himself, so it is not suitable for a mage to release magic. Fortunately, we often use an auxiliary material: magic crystal, which can be measured clearly. Teacher Luo not only exchanged high-quality magic crystals of various attributes from the dwarves, but also found a high-grade magic crystal mine that had not been mined along the way back. So our experiment came naturally. ”
Mao Kai played a few pictures of the magic crystal, "Mr. Morey and I jointly developed a magic circle that consumes the energy of the magic crystal and does not stimulate its elemental attributes, in layman's terms, it is a magic circle that burns a magic crystal for nothing, but does not produce any magic effect. ”
"You know, if my hypothesis is true, the essence of the magic crystal should be a combination of magic and natural elements. And those natural elements can form crystalline structures, I think it's the effect of magic.
As we all know, the magic crystal will turn into powder after its 'energy is exhausted', so can it be explained that the magic power that maintains the structure in the middle of the magic crystal is exhausted, so the elements cannot maintain the crystal state and collapse?
A group of photographs appeared on the slide, each of which was a magic crystal, corresponding to a pile of powder.
"We selected ten magic crystals with different attributes, but the exact same volume, and recorded the quality. Then put them into the mana draining circle. The remaining powder is then weighed and the composition of the powder is analyzed using Mr. Morey's detection array and an elemental analyzer in the laboratory. Then there are several findings:
First of all, the spiritual hedron completely disappeared, and apart from a very small amount of tiny impurities, there was no powder left. Therefore, we suspect that the spiritual magic crystal is made of pure magic!
Secondly, the mass lost by all magic crystals after turning into powder is almost the same. In other words, there is probably only one type of magic, and it can form different crystals with various different elements.
In the end, all of those powders were known to be elemental or compounds, and we tried to make these powders chemically react, and it turned out that all the reactions were as classic as a high school textbook. In other words, after the magic is removed, our chemistry is back!"
With a bang, the classroom exploded.
Almost everyone present knew that one of the biggest difficulties they encountered after coming here was that chemistry didn't work. The reaction results of many substances were different from the original record, which made it difficult for them to move forward. If Mao Kai's experiment is correct, then it means that the magic has changed and affected all the substances brought from the original world little by little, making their properties different from the original.
Several people raised their hands and began to ask Mao Kai questions about the details of the experiment. Mao Kai also answered them one by one, he has also taken a lot of classes, but the atmosphere is so warm, there is no one.
Luo Ling raised her hand, and after getting a response from the other party, she asked, "I also have a question, is there any correlation between the energy attributes emitted by the magic crystals when they are intact and the powder left behind by them when they run out of energy? For example, are the water magic crystals left by the water magic crystals?
Mao Kai shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, no, we haven't been able to find enough rules. Often some elements with very ordinary nature, once they are added with magic, they will have a very magical effect. For example, there is a space magic crystal, which contains silver element. We don't understand how silver can help with spatial magic, but this crystal can be used to cast spatial magic or set up spatial circles.
The preliminary inference we can give now is that when magic combines with different elements, it can change their original chemical properties, and make them be invoked by the spiritual power of the magician, and finally produce various magical effects. ”
