Section 320: Mana Pool 2.0
"Given the lessons learned from the destruction of Magic Pool 1.0, it is clearly not appropriate to put all your eggs in one basket. β
Lancelot didn't have much description of Magic Pool 2.0 except for the materials he needed to report to Norman before, and it wasn't until this moment that he finally told the details of the situation: "So Magic Pool 2.0 we designed it in the form of a suit, specifically, a total of two bracelets, two ankle rings, and finally a five-piece suit with a belt." β
Sure enough, Norman's previous oddities were correct, and the Knights Templar did make changes to the form of Pool 2.0.
"In this case, even if some unexpected events occur and the mana pool is damaged, there is a chance that some of the mana pool will still be usable, and it will not be completely destroyed like now, which is too inconvenient. β
Of course, in addition to this reason, there is also a reason because of the material. As I've told you before, the difficulty of mana pool 2.0's material requirements has been greatly reduced, which lowers the barrier to entry, but it also inevitably leads to the creation of many new situations, and the lack of mana capacity is one of the most important ones. β
Lancelot took out the previous data for comparison, "The total mana capacity of Magic Pool 1.0 is capped at 436 square meters, which is a very considerable number, but what we need to see is that this considerable number is largely based on the materials of Magic Pool 1.0, and the price of materials from rare to more obtainable is the decline in performance, which is beyond doubt in the absence of a breakthrough in the technical level." β
"Based on the data available in the database, we speculate that the maximum magic power that can be held by the magic pool 2.0 made of new materials should be between 60 and 80 square meters, which is obviously not comparable with the magic pool 1.0, so it is necessary to make up for the lack of quality with the advantage of quantity, which is also an important reason why the magic pool 2.0 is designed as a set......"
For Mana Pool 2.0, the Knights Templar had been researched for an unknown number of times, and the relevant things could not be said for days and nights, but some things and data that were too specific were of little use to Norman.
Saying a thousand things and ten thousand, after all, you have to see the truth under your hands. Whether it's a mule or a horse, you still have to pull it out and see it to be sure.
So Norman threw himself into the refining of Mana Pool 2.0 non-stop.
In the following days, Norman relied on the wonders of "Catching the Sea Heart Sutra", and he didn't sleep for a day, and he has been refining the magic pool 2.0. Of course, there is a price for him to do this, that is, under the transfer of his main work, his daily mana expansion speed has slowed down significantly, because he needs to arrange more mental power in the refining and rotation of mana pool 2.0, so he can't put a lot of mental power into the meditation space as in the past to constantly urge the demon to expand his mana capacity.
In addition to refining the mana pool 2.0, Norman also has a job, which is to build some of the weapons he needs according to Shival's requirements.
Compared to the complex process of Mana Pool 2.0, this task is so simple that even alchemy does not need to be used, and Norman can do it in an hour every day, and new weapons are sent to the castle every day.
This surprised Shival in the City Lord's Mansion.
He was amazed at how efficient the Hugo master was: even though he had shown him his miraculous efficiency on the first day, it was the first day!
In Sival's opinion, Master Hugo must have had to work hard for a long time to create those two divine weapons overnight on the first night, as evidenced by the news from the Lord.
And such a state is obviously impossible to maintain for a long time.
After going through such a state of work, Master Hugo needs at least a few days of rest before he can adjust his condition and return to work, right?
This was Shival's idea, but he didn't expect that this Hugo master was like tireless, maintaining the speed of having at least one weapon every day, and producing results every day!
And what is more important is that there is nothing foolish about these weapons, and each one of them is a rare masterpiece in Xival's eyes! Especially the cross sword sent on the third day, which made the adult love it and took it unceremoniously.
Obviously, these weapons are not something that can be obtained by casual fighting, and it definitely requires full attention and long-term dedication to do so.
So how did this master manage to maintain such a high-intensity and long-term intense work for so many days in a row?
Shival was puzzled.
However, after being puzzled, Shival was even more ecstatic: he had found a treasure!
This skill, this efficiency...... Such a person can not only greatly help him now, but after he becomes the lord of Douala, the role that this master Hugo can play will be even greater: he can help arm his troops, make his personal guard the best personal guard, and he can also send people to learn from him, spread his skills, spread out, and even let the entire weapons and equipment industry in Douala rise to a higher level, at that time, it will not only benefit from such a small area of his personal guard, but also the entire noble army of Douala subordinate to the lord of his Shivar will benefit from itοΌ
With the advantage of weapons, the combat effectiveness of the noble army of the lord of Douala Shivar will rise by a level out of thin air, and with the friendly alliance he has now established with that lord, it will be time for him to expand his territory in Douala!
This is something that the Campbell family has not done in generations, and it will not be long before it will be repeated in his hands, and he will lead the Campbell family back to glory......
Xival's big dream in the past two days has been very cool, but Ji Ruoxi has been depressed all day long, and his mood is becoming more and more irritable, and Norman, who gets information from Ji Ruoxi every day, is also very depressed.
Chen Qinghe showed no signs of improvement.
Ji Ruoxi would find an opportunity to visit Chen Qinghe every day when he sent weapons to the City Lord's Mansion, but the results of the day after day and day were not very good - he still lay there every day, sleeping unconsciously most of the time, and rarely had time to wake up.
The antidote didn't seem to work for him.
Norman went to see Chen Qinghe with Ji Ruoxi the day after learning about the situation, and found that the result was indeed just like what Ji Ruoxi said, which made him grit his teeth and poured all the remaining antidotes into Chen Qinghe, but the situation still did not improve, the only thing to be thankful for is that although the refined potion did not make Chen Qinghe better, it at least delayed Chen Qinghe's death, otherwise according to Chen Qinghe's original posture, he should have returned to the Dragon Tomb by now.
However, looking at this situation, it was only a matter of time before he returned to the Dragon Tomb.
Norman, who discovered this, was depressed and depressed.
He spent so much effort to "convince" the Knights Templar, took such a big risk, and spent so much energy refining the antidote, only to end up doing useless work, no use for it?
It's too embarrassing.
And the thought of this made Norman hate Stanley even more: it was obvious that the old boy had given him the fake antidote!
Next time, if you have the chance to meet him again, you must kill him!
But Norman could only think about it, if he really let him run to Stanley now, then he would definitely not do it.
As for the Knights Templar, they did not give any useful advice on the situation, but only comforted Norman by saying things like "Dragons have their own lives, and they can't ask for it".
The Knights Templar did not agree with this matter in the first place, and they were completely forcibly tied to his chariot by Norman, and for them, the current Chen Qinghe was simply a trouble. Now that this trouble is dying, it is too late for the Knights Templar to rejoice, how can they rack their brains to help Norman find a solution?
It's good to be able to say that "dragons have their own lives".
In this situation, the days passed, and finally on the sixth day, the magic pool 2.0 was completely completed.
......
The weather is good today, and the warm sun of the winter morning shines through the blurry glass, sprinkling a large area of gold in the room, and the vision is very clear.
After a few days of tossing, the floor of the room that served as the main workshop was littered with debris, with scraps of material in the corners, small pits that I don't know what had been smashed out, unknown objects that had somehow burned into char, and so on.
Norman stood in the center of the room.
He had now taken off all his clothes, wearing only a pair of underwear, and some of the prostheses used for disguise were glued to various parts of his body, which looked very conspicuous.
Morning temperatures are low in the winter, especially in the north.
Although there is a stove next to it, and the long-term operation fills the room with heat, which is much hotter than the outside, it is still impossible for a normal person to stand here without wearing anything and not feel cold. But Norman was no longer a normal person after all, and he just stood there naked, not feeling cold or hot at all.
He seems to have a veritable constant temperature, and this level of temperature change from the outside world can no longer affect him.
As for why Norman was naked, it wasn't because he was an exhibitionist, but because it was easier to wear the device - Magic Pool 2.0.
It was a few ring-shaped things, some big and some small, except for the difference in size, the structure was basically the same in appearance, as if the same thing had been enlarged and reduced.
The overall lines of this thing are smooth, the outer surface is full of undulations, at a glance it looks like an ancient saying, but after a closer look it is not, it seems to be just countless lines of unknown meaning, starting from a point, so densely engraved all the way along the surface, and finally back to the original point.
As for the inner surface of this thing, it is very flat, and there is no undulation at all.
When the magic pool 1.0 was formed, the positive and negative poles of mana had changed from two very obvious additional devices at the beginning to an inconspicuous form that could only be identified by looking closely, and in the case of mana pool 2.0, even the positive and negative poles of mana could not be seen.
Then, Norman took one of the smaller ones, put it on his right hand, and as soon as his right hand passed through it into a claw, and then held it up, one of the parts of this magic pool 2.0 was accurately placed on his right wrist, and it was completely tightly fitted, and with Norman's deliberate few quick swings, it would not loosen in the slightest.
This small detail, of course, was also carefully designed by the Knights Templar for Norman's body data.
In this way, Norman put on the rest of the two of them one by one, and soon his two hands, two feet, and waist were tied to the Magic Pool 2.0 kit, and this is why he stripped naked, just to make it easier to wear this device.
Then Norman began to get dressed.
When Magic Pool 1.0 came out, because Magic Pool 1.0 was particularly fragile, Norman also asked Delvik to help him make an external protection device to protect Magic Pool 1.0, but now he has not done anything to protect Magic Pool 2.0.
It's not because he can't do it, it's too easy for Norman, who now has a magic weapon at his fingertips, to have a protective device, and the reason why he doesn't do it is because Mana Pool 2.0 doesn't need a protective device, because it can act as a protective device on its own.
It all started with the weapons that Shival had asked Norman to build.
In addition to wasting Norman's time, this batch of weapons orders also served a purpose, that is, it helped the Templars to do a lot of alloy experiments, adding a lot of valuable data to their database, and this data helped with Magic Pool 2.0- After detailed research and analysis, the Knights Templar tried to replace the base material of Magic Pool 2.0 with alloys, and finally succeeded, which is why it took twice as long to make the creation of Magic Pool 2.0 as Magic Pool 1.0, because a lot of time was spent on it.
This alloy, named by the Knights Templar, has an amazing performance in hardness and toughness, and it can be used as a substrate for the Mana Pool 2.0, which can be used to block ordinary swords without leaving any scratches, so naturally it does not need any protective devices.
Once Norman had dressed himself, he began to pour mana into the mana pool of these five parts of his body!
A large amount of mana flowed out of Norman's sea of mana and poured into the five mana pools without any obstacles - each Mana Pool 2.0 kit was made with various performance tests, and there was no problem with mana and other behaviors.
Norman, on the other hand, poured magic into these pools of mana while meditating desperately in the meditation space to generate mana.
He wanted to find out what the maximum total capacity of these mana pools was as soon as possible, and he also wanted to know if the five-in-one form would have any disadvantages for spell casting.
These are the next things he will review.
