Chapter 189: Building Energy Nodes (New Year's Day)
When it comes to creating a proper artifact, the material is the first hurdle.
The Rainbow Eye obtained from Brussels was a big surprise, and Ron used it to create his first staff.
Even with the help of the Elemental Smelter, it took Ron nearly a month to reconcile the energy of the Rainbow Eye to a suitable intensity.
To do this, the laboratory consumes tens of thousands of base units of energy reserves.
This incident even alarmed a third-order wizard in charge of these laboratories, but after knowing that the rental staff of this laboratory was Ron, this third-order wizard silently withdrew the order to cut off the energy reserves of this laboratory, and then directly ordered the administrator of this laboratory to always pay attention to the energy loss here, pay attention to replenishing it in time, and must not affect Ron's experiment.
After Elvis' press conference, all the information about the upstart of the Four Seasons Garden was on his desk, including a lot of information about Ron.
Not to mention the background of Elvis students, the aura of Beriots and Kenneth is enough to tell him how to make a choice.
In particular, there was a recent gossip from the tower of Lord Philus, that the flame gem that made Philus helpless was also from the hands of this Ron, which made many wizards interested in this Ron.
If it weren't for Ron who plunged headlong into the laboratory and never came out, many of the third-order master craftsmen in the tower would have invited Ron to visit their tower.
Ron pressed seven lightning rods made of different metals against the surface of the Rainbow Eye, preparing to channel the barren lightning into the Rainbow Eye.
After all the energy of the Rainbow Eye was mobilized, the energy inside was surging like a tide, violent and dangerous.
If other wizards want to integrate the barren thunder and lightning into it to form a stable energy node, it will take at least half a year to familiarize themselves with the laws of the energy tide inside, and then calculate the time and duration of a certain energy vortex node little by little, so as to find an opportunity to build a stable energy node.
However, with the help of the True Eye, the process was compressed into seven days by Ron.
After seven days of observation and magical math calculations, Ron calculated one hundred and ninety-six eddy regions suitable for constructing barren lightning energy nodes.
As the energy within the Eye of the Rainbow swirled, a vortex of energy appeared in it, which, according to Ron's seven days of continuous observation and calculation, was enough to carry a barren lightning node, but it had to be fast, because the node only existed for seven to eleven seconds.
Ron needs to quickly build an energy node within this time period.
However, the entry of the Barren Thunder will disturb the energy in the Rainbow Eye, which will shorten the time for the energy vortex to exist, greatly increasing the difficulty of building energy nodes.
Ron had already failed several times in this step, and in order to avoid the scattered barren lightning from polluting the energy inside the Rainbow Eye, Ron had to quickly export the barren lightning that failed to build the energy node.
In the beginning, the inexperienced Ron had to channel the desolate lightning into his body to avoid energy pollution, but even a trace of the desolate lightning would cause Ron's magic to backlash.
After almost being seriously injured several times in a row, Ron finally devised the current method of using a lightning rod to lure away the scattered barren lightning.
"Elemental Roar? Thunderbolt Mastery!"
Pale barren lightning flowed through one of the lightning rods, and only a trace of pale thunder as thin as a hair but extremely tenacious was seen piercing the energy tide of the Rainbow Eye, accurately hitting the energy vortex area where the energy was relatively calm.
Because of the entry of the barren thunderbolt, the energy in the rainbow eye was disturbed, and the energy in the vortex area became less stable, but Ron didn't seem to notice the change in energy, and all his attention fell on that trace of barren thunder and lightning.
The pale electric light, like a fine white strip, kept winding and winding, using his body to construct a simple and mysterious and complex pattern.
This is the most basic energy node, if there is enough time, Ron can easily build such an energy node, but for most wizards, it takes an average of forty-six seconds to build a first-order energy node, and only a few very skilled wizards can compress this time to less than ten seconds, and after ten seconds, every second shortened is a huge challenge.
At this moment, only nine seconds have passed, and because of the introduction of barren thunder and lightning, the vortex area has already reached the brink of collapse.
The time froze in ten seconds, and around the white razer, violent energy suddenly surged, dispersing the vortex area.
Ron was still firmly controlling the little white snake, and suddenly bit on his tail, the energy circuit closed, and the energy of the rainbow eye washed through, and the little white thunder light flickered slightly, but it did not turn into a scattered energy flow, and the first energy node was finally completed in the last second.
Ron, who was already ready to fail, looked at the white node in the Rainbow Eye, and finally showed a hint of joy in his eyes, the success of the first energy node meant that he had successfully taken another step forward.
"The first one has been successful, and the next one is the second!"
Ron briefly calmed the mana surge in his body, then took a concentrating potion and waited for the second vortex zone to appear.
In order for the Rainbow Eye to transform into the Heart of the Nibelungen, it needs to construct sixty-six barren lightning energy nodes and seventy-nine fiery flame energy nodes in it, which means that most of the energy vortex area inside this rainbow eye will be occupied.
This was just the ideal state of Ron's budget, as almost every witchcraft alchemist had a very sad experience.
That is, when the number of vortex areas was calculated to build energy nodes, when it was about to be completed, it was unexpectedly found that because of the introduction of too much external energy, the energy part of the energy vortex area disappeared, thus failing, and countless such failures can be written as a history of blood and tears.
Ron didn't know if this rainbow eye would finally allow him to write such a history of blood and tears, but he knew that he couldn't give up, once this Nibelungen heart was built, it would become the energy core of an excellent first-order witchcraft, and after creating a staff, it would become his most critical hole card.
After the successful construction of the first energy node, the construction of the next energy node became much smoother, and Ron built nine energy nodes in a row before ushering in a failure.
The bad news is that one vortex has quietly disappeared, and as more and more energy is introduced, the disappearance of these vortex zones will accelerate, and once the number of vortex zones is less than one hundred and forty-five, it means that all of Ron's efforts will be wasted.
