Chapter One Hundred and Five
The new tool made by Sui Xiong is roughly a metal frame that can be adjusted freely, put the ore in the frame, adjust the frame to clamp it, and then turn the knob to put the Mithril probe in the upper and lower sections of the metal frame against the ore. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNext, as long as you use the magic crystal, you can form a magic flow between the two probes. At the top of the probe, there is a magic circle that is sensitive to mana, which can emit light of different brightness according to the intensity of the mana flow, so that the brightness of the magic circle can be used to determine whether the ore contains Mithril and estimate the approximate content of Mithril.
But after actual testing, Sui Xiong found that this thing was not as good as he imagined, and more than once there were cases where the flow of magic could not be detected, but in fact the ore contained mythril.
He researched it again and again, eventually discovering that this was because the Mithril was not evenly distributed in the ore, and if the probe was not able to touch the Mithril, the magic would naturally not be able to flow through the stone—which of course led to the wrong test results.
How can this problem be solved?
Sui Xiong's engineering level is very scummy, and he is not even as good as middle school students with strong hands-on ability, so he pondered and pondered, and found that he still couldn't think of a solution to the problem after all.
He asked Molani, who smiled and shook his head: "Actually, someone has thought about this idea of yours a long time ago, and the key difficulty is here." Minerals are unevenly distributed among ores, which seriously affects the ability of ores to conduct magic. For example, if a piece of ore is half silver and half is stone, how should it be measured? No one has been able to solve this problem until now, so it can only be done by artificial beneficiation. Fortunately, between Mithril and Silver, between Innate Mithril and Acquired Mithril, there is an obvious situation where it cannot be fused, otherwise it will be more difficult to beneficiate. ”
Only then did Sui Xiong realize that he was not the first smart person.
What you can think of, others can certainly think of as well. And the technology he used did not exceed the level that those more powerful magicians in the world could do. In that case, why hasn't anyone else tried it before?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply and become depressed.
In fact, this problem is not impossible to solve. "It's just...... It's just a completely different way of thinking about it. ”
"Different ideas?" Sui Xiong's eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "What's the difference?"
Morani didn't tell him right away, but laughed and let him think for himself.
So Sui Xiong thought about it, he thought for a while, and asked, "Smash the ore?"
"It's not easy to smash Mithril. Morani shook his head.
Sui Xiong thought for a moment and asked again, "What kind of potion did you dissolve the ore in?"
"The potion that can dissolve Mithril is too precious, even if it can only dissolve stones but not Mithril, considering the dosage, it is not worth the loss. Morani shook his head again.
Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked, "How many holes do you drill in the ore?"
"And then?" Morani asked rhetorically.
Sui Xiong thought about it and found that this didn't seem to help, so he sighed helplessly: "Okay, I don't seem to be smart enough. What exactly was the solution to this problem?"
Morani laughed, and with a wave of his hand, a large cloud of magic appeared out of thin air, condensing into a liquid-like shape about a foot in diameter, and then he picked up a fist-sized piece of Mithril ore and threw it into it.
"Infused with powerful magic, silver slowly transforms into Mithril. If there is already Mithril around, the conversion efficiency can be a little faster. In this high-concentration magic environment, it only takes about thirty years for such a large piece of ore to be completely transformed into mythril ore, so there is no need to worry about it being silver ore. ”
Sui Xiong was dumbfounded, he never thought that it would be such a solution.
If you can't easily tell the difference between silver ore and mythril ore, then turn silver ore into mythril ore as well.
Isn't this the famous "if you can't solve the problem, then eliminate the problem"?
He stayed for a long time, and then suddenly remembered something and asked, "But in this case, how can you distinguish between innate and acquired Mithril?"
Morani was silent for a moment and asked, "Is there a lot of Innate Mithril?"
"Not much, very little. ”
"So, is it necessary to think about this kind of problem?"
Sui Xiong suddenly realized.
If there is Innate Mithril, it is worth the trouble, because it is expensive enough.
But in fact, in the vast majority of cases, the concentrator does not have to think about the problem of Innate Mithril at all - how can there be so many Innate Mithril in the world!
Sui Xiong himself is also drilling the tip of the horns, so he will ponder this kind of meaningless question. It's like a chef's apprentice, the teacher teaches him the technique of braised pork, explains how to cook pork, beef, mutton, dog meat, chicken, duck and other common meats, and then he suddenly says, "Teacher, how to cook panda meat?"
If the teacher hadn't beaten him on the spot, it would definitely be very good.
Thinking of this, Sui Xiong himself couldn't help laughing.
After laughing, he put the matter aside for the time being, and just sent a message to the Minister of Mines, Raif Cavat, and the Chief Mage, Satan, asking them to cooperate and set up the Mithril Transformation Pool as soon as possible.
The Mithril Transformation Pool itself can be used not only to convert silver ore into Mithril ore, but also to be used as the most important facility for the Mage Order, the Magic Pool.
A magic pool is a facility that concentrates a large amount of mana and can be used freely when it is needed. For mages, it is also a waste to use the magic power that naturally occurs in ordinary times, and if the magic power is stored in ordinary times and used at critical moments, it is more efficient and advantageous whether it is used for research or combat.
Let's say two magicians fight, and everyone uses all their magic. One of them took out a machete and said that "Oba also practiced knife skills back then", and the other was powerless, so he could only be hacked to death obediently. At this time, he smiled slightly, took out the magic props for communication, dialed a number, only to see the glow flashing, and immediately called the magic power in the magic pool, restored his combat effectiveness, and bombarded the other party to the scum with a backhand spell......
This situation has really happened in the Mystic Tower Federation, and it has happened more than once.
Among the mage organizations all over the world, the Mystic Tower Federation likes to build magic pools the most. Although they did not invent this technology, it was carried forward in their hands. At present, every magic tower of the Mystic Tower Federation must have a magic pool, so within the range that the enchantment of the magic tower can extend or support, the mages of the Mystic Tower Federation have almost endless ability to continue fighting.
The Northwest Republic actually has a magic pool, which is built on the magic tower of the legendary necromancer Tuyaan. Tuyaan himself didn't mind sharing this magic pool with everyone, but his magic pool was specially created for necromancy, and no one else dared to use it except himself and a dozen of his disciples.
Chief Mage Satan had always planned to build a magic pool, but he had been delayed by various things and never had time to build it. Now that he has Sui Xiong's order, he must finally put aside those other things for the time being, and build the magic pool first.
I believe that this will be of great benefit to the construction of the mage team of the Northwest Republic! )
