Chapter 85: Fluorescent Grass
After leaving the "Bonta Daily" newspaper, Xu Yi came to the research institute in the west of the city.
After knocking on the door, it was Evita who opened the door, not Akali, who chose to live on the first floor.
Seeing that it was Xu Yi, the expression on Evita's face was a little surprised, but also a little joyful.
"President, why are you here?"
Xu Yi pointed to his stomach and said with a smile: "Today, Vivian and her academy organized students to go out for an autumn outing, and no one cooked for me. I don't want to go to the restaurant to eat, so I want to come to you for dinner, aren't you welcome?"
Evita smiled slightly: "Of course you are welcome, please come in." ”
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head gently, if he was to change to Akali, he would definitely laugh at himself, but Evita's personality was completely different from Akali, and he was much more indifferent.
After entering the door, he looked around, but he didn't find Akali's figure, so Xu Yi casually asked, "Where is Akali?"
"She's out today. Evita replied. "Gone out?" Xu Yi was stunned. "What's the matter?"
Evita smiled slightly, "Elder, have you forgotten that today is Sunday? ”
"Oh, yes, I forgot about it, and I said I would see how your research went. Xu Yi slapped his forehead, thinking that he was so busy that he had forgotten all about the day of the week. Glancing at Evita, she noticed that she had a coarse apron over her dress. "Why are you still wearing this since it's Sunday?
Speaking of work, Evita's eyes lit up: "President, I am making some new discoveries and want to study them with you." You're here today, would you like to see what I've discovered?"
"Oh, what is the new discovery?, is it a magic air conditioner?" Xu Yi asked.
Seeing that it was about to enter the cold winter, Xu Yi recently gave the three of them a new research task, that is, a new version of the magic air conditioner.
The first version of the magic air conditioner is a single cooling air conditioner for summer, and now the weather is getting colder, but what Xu Yi asked them to study this time is the magic air conditioner of cold and warm.
Of course, the first thing to solve is the problem of the magic array in terms of heating.
Evita shook her head: "No, it's about magic lights." ”
Xu Ye was a little surprised: "So fast, it's only been a few days, and you've already solved the problem of the continuous output of the Thunder Lightning Array?"
Evita shook her head again: "Although we have made some progress, we can't really solve this problem yet. I'm talking about new discoveries on the other side. ”
"What the hell is that?" Xu Yi asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid you don't know what you say, I'll take you to see it. Evita beckoned to Xu Yi and walked towards the stairs that led to the second floor.
Xu Yi hesitated slightly, then relieved, smiled self-deprecatingly, and followed.
He had been to the institute many times, but this was the first time he had gone up to the second floor.
Compared with the messiness of the first floor, the space on the second floor is extremely tidy, at a glance, no matter what it is, it is clean and neat, and even the various real materials on the workbench are placed meticulously, and there is no messy meaning.
In addition, Evita even put a few pots of plants in the not too spacious space indoors, and even though it was winter at this time, these potted plants were still green, adding a bit of life to the interior.
Xu Yi looked left and right, and saw several ornaments hanging on the wall, which should be made of rags.
Despite the simplicity of the materials, the patterns are exquisite, and the patterns are delicate and have a touch of cuteness, which is not inferior to the ornaments made by professional cloth craftsmen in the shops.
"Evita, did you do it all yourself?" Xu Yi pointed to the flower on his right.
A blush appeared on Evita's face and she nodded slightly.
"You're so ingenious. Xu Yi praised it, but laughed again. "I guess you can make these things, but I can't imagine it if it were Akali and Steele. ”
Evita's face turned a little redder, and she tried to defend Akali and Steele, but found that there was no way to argue.
With the personalities of the two of them, how can they endure to use pieces of rags to put together these intricate ornaments.
Fortunately, Xu Yi didn't dwell too much on this issue, and asked Evita again: "Okay, what about the new discovery you said? ”
Evita calmed down, picked up a thin wooden stick-like thing on the workbench, and handed it to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi glanced at it and asked in astonishment, "Isn't this a fluorescent grass? This is your new discovery, and what does this thing have to do with magic lights?"
Evita nodded slightly: "President, last time when you gave us the magic crystal lamp, didn't you also say that there is a method, that is, after heating the wire to a very high temperature, the wire will emit light, and then it can be used to make a magic lamp?"
"Well, that's what I said. But as I said, I can't make that kind of wire yet, so I can't make that kind of magic lamp for the time being. Xu Yi glanced at the fluorescent grass in Evita's hand, frowned, and said, "You don't want to say that this thing can replace the metal wire, right? ”
"It's not wrong to say instead, but not in the way you said it was heated. Evita smiled, returned to the workbench, pointed to a magic array arranged on the workbench and said, "Look, Captain, this is a thunderbolt array that we have studied and improved in the past few days, although it can't reach the ability to emit light as you said, but it can continue to cast electric light for nearly a minute." ”
Xu Yi nodded and praised: "Very good." If you can make this magic circle emit lightning all the time with the support of the magic crystal, then the magic lamp can be considered an easy success. ”
Evita glanced at Xu Yi and hesitated for a moment, then she seemed to have made up her mind and said, "President, actually...... Actually, don't you think that even if we successfully improve this magic array to continuously emit lightning as you said, it will not be suitable for making a magic lamp?"
"Oh, why?" Xu also asked with some surprise.
"Because the light it emits is so strong. Akali and I had experimented at night with the lightning rays from the magic array that could indeed light up the room, but the light was so intense that we couldn't even keep our eyes open. I'm afraid it wouldn't be practical if I wanted to use it as a magic lamp, right?"
"Is that so?" Xu Yi thought for a moment and nodded slowly. "You have a point. However, I don't think this problem is too difficult to solve, just reduce the power of the magic array and reduce the intensity of the lightning light. ”
"I'm afraid it won't work. Evita shook her head. "We consulted His Excellency Camilla's Grand Magician, and His Excellency the Great Magician said that thunder magic is a high-level magic of wind magic, and it has certain requirements for the strength of magic elements. Although this lightning magic array can only release lightning light and does not have the power of lightning, it is a failed thunder magic array, but it is still a thunder magic, and it also has requirements for the strength of magic elements. This Thunderbolt Array has actually pressed this requirement to a minimum now, and if the power of the magic array is reduced, it will make this magic array completely fail, and even the lightning light will not be released. ”
"Your Excellency the Great Magician said that?" Xu Yi frowned.
At most, he can only master fourth-level magic, and he has no understanding of high-level lightning magic, so of course he can only follow the professional advice of His Excellency the Great Magician.
"Then, according to what Grand Magician Camilla said, isn't this magic array studied in vain, completely useless?"
"It can't be said that it's useless, you see, president. Evita smiled and lifted the fluorescent grass in her hand and placed it in the middle of the magic circle.
As Evita's finger pointed at the magic array, a trace of magic power was injected, and a pale cyan light flashed on the magic array, which was activated in an instant.
Xu Yi stared at the changes in the magic array, feeling that the magic elements were converging continuously towards the center of the magic array, and in the blink of an eye, a large number of magic elements had been condensed in the center of the magic array.
According to Evita's previous demonstration, at this time, a lightning bolt will be activated in the center of the magic array, and then a bright light will be released.
Xu Yi narrowed his eyes, and was about to meet this bright lightning light, but found that the light in the center of the magic array flashed slightly, and then it was as if it was all sucked in by the fluorescent grass, and it was completely submerged in the fluorescent grass.
"This ......" Xu Yi was just about to open his mouth in astonishment, when he saw that the thin fluorescent grass suddenly glowed all over his body, and after a while, it released a soft and bright light outward.
At this moment, Evita withdrew her hand that had injected magic into the magic array, and the light of the magic array faded, but the fluorescent grass still glowed.
Before she could react, Evita had already pulled down all the curtains.
Although the light on the outside has been completely obscured, the light emitted by the fluorescent grass in the house can still clearly see every place.
Xu Yi stared at the fluorescent grass for a while, and found that although the light it emitted was bright, it was not dazzling at all, and there was a hint of softness.
"Is this your new discovery?" Xu Yi asked Evita.
Evita nodded slightly: "I once read a record in a book that said that in the Pamir Plateau of the Kandela Empire, there is a grassland covered with fluorescent grass, and every time after thunder and lightning, that grassland will emit a soft light, which is very beautiful. In the past few days, when I was studying this thunderbolt array, I suddenly thought of this record, and I wondered if the fluorescent grass would be helpful, so I did some experiments. President, what do you think of the effect?"
Xu Yi laughed, and was about to praise Evita for a few words, when a voice with a hint of flirtatiousness suddenly sounded at the entrance of the door.
"Hey, dear Evita, what are you doing in the room with our beloved elders in broad daylight?"
