Since traveling into this world, Lynn has been thinking about the question, what is magic?

Or what are the characteristics of this thing......

Hundreds of years of research by wizards have laid the groundwork for him, and they have come up with many magical properties, such as the ability to be manipulated by psychic powers, the influence of specially arranged runes, and most importantly, the ability to mimic elements!

When Lynn was making the periodic table, he found through a large number of experiments that when a wizard casts spells and mimics various elements, the amount of magic consumed is positively correlated with the atomic number, period, and family of an element!

One of the most influential is the atomic number, which is the ordinal number of the element in the periodic table.

This ordinal number is arranged according to the number of protons (nuclear charges) inside the nucleus.

For example, the number of protons in the nucleus of hydrogen is one, which means that the number of protons in its nucleus is also one, and the atomic number of uranium is 92, so the number of protons in this nucleus is ninety-two!

The same goes for the rest of the elements.

If an element with a higher ordinal number loses too much mass, its position in the periodic table will change and it will become a different element.

Yes, it's like the legend that turning stones into gold fundamentally changes the nature of an element.

Nuclear fission and the decay of radioactive elements are the best examples!

In turn, two light nuclei can combine to form one heavier nucleus, which is called nuclear fusion!

Since there is a law, it is natural to have the possibility of calculation.

For example, helium, which has an atomic number of two, is composed of two protons and two neutrons, and assumes that the amount of magic power required to mimic it is six.

Lithium, which has an atomic number of three, has three protons and four neutrons inside, and the mana value consumed during mimicry is assumed to be eleven.

Then you only need to list a simple equation to come to the conclusion that the magic power consumed by the mimic proton is one, and the magic power of the neutron is two!

Of course, this is the most perfect and concise model, but the reality is not so easy, and the mimic lithium element is only about sixty percent more than the magic consumption of helium.

Obviously, it's not just the quality that affects the cost of mana.

It is possible that a portion of the mana needs to be consumed during the construction of mimic elements, which is calculated by subtracting this value, and perhaps the effect of the slight mass of the electrons around the nucleus......

Lynn wrote down all of these variables that could affect the cost of mana, and as long as the influence of the rest of the factors could be eliminated, then she could roughly calculate the value of each elementary particle in the mana mimicry.

Before I knew it, an entire sheet of paper was covered with complicated formulas.

But figuring out this value is just the beginning.

He also needs to solve the second problem, how to make the mimicry elements become real matter!

That's the biggest challenge......

Lynn frowned and pondered for a while, and soon thought of the answer, which was energy!

Only energy can do that!

Lynn immediately wrote down a variation of the mass-energy equation on a piece of paper.

m=E/c^2

The meaning is that the mass is equal to the square of the energy divided by the speed of light!

According to Lynn's prediction, as long as enough energy is provided, and then based on the elements of magic mimicry, energy and mass can be transformed, and a body of energy enough to carry the soul can be created!

Legend...... That's how to rank up the Legends!

Glancing at the road ahead, Lynn's face couldn't help but have a little excitement, but after doing the math with a pen, he immediately found a very big problem.

That's the amount of energy needed to transform quality is unbelievably terrifying!

According to the mass-energy equation, one gram of mass is equivalent to 90 trillion joules of energy, which is equivalent to the explosion of 20,000 tons of TNT explosives, or a nuclear explosion of critical mass!

And he weighs more than 100 pounds, if he completely transforms his body with energy, it will inevitably be an astronomical amount!

I must have overlooked something......

Lynn frowned and thought about it, stretched out his hand, and a most basic hydrogen element suddenly condensed and formed, followed by helium, lithium, and beryllium......

Soon, forty-nine elements were suspended in the palm of their hands, circling and rotating around each other.

Lynn picked up the pen again and wrote on the page.

Mana itself is a special kind of energy, and the mimicry elements from it should take up the bulk of the consumption, so the amount of energy required will be much smaller than the calculated value.

As for why magic has this property, further research is needed.

But even if the energy consumed in the end is only one-tenth of what was expected, that's a lot of money.

Lynn touched her chin.

He could think of a lot of devices that could provide such a huge amount of energy, and the most efficient one was the positive and antimatter annihilation device!

It's just that he doesn't have the instruments to extract antimatter now, so he can only settle for the next best thing and choose a nuclear fusion reactor!

Lynn calculates how much power a nuclear reactor will be needed to provide energy, and then it occurs to her body that it has a lot of mass, and it may be possible to use it through some kind of magic to further reduce the energy consumption......

"Strange, where did that pseudo-god go to find so much energy?" Lynn was very confused, in order to create a body framed by magic and full of energy, he could be said to have racked his brains, even using nuclear fusion reactors, still worried that it would not be enough to maintain consumption.

So how did [Ella] manage to become a legend?

"It can't be soul power, right?" Lynn suddenly thought of this possibility, and suddenly felt a chill rush from the soles of her feet to her heart.

When he was in Harbor Town, Zhi Brain had proposed to use soul power as an energy reserve to replenish consumption.

"071, according to my formula, how many souls does it take to create a body of energy?" Lynn asked curiously.

[Without counting the energy loss, it requires 200,000 soul powers, or 50,000 apprentices and 10,000 official wizards. 】

Hearing this, Lynn gasped.

And that's not even counting the loss of energy...... Otherwise, it is possible to double it, or even multiply it several times!

You must know that there are no 10,000 official wizards in the entire wizarding land, and it is impossible for the other party to attack the priest and bishop, so it can only be the poor!

I have to say, [Ella] You are really ruthless!

Killing one of the other party's incarnations by himself is equivalent to consuming hundreds of thousands of soul power reserves of that pseudo-god.

I just don't know how many souls [Ella] has harvested over the years.

Millions? Tens of millions? Or billions?

Lynn thought for a while, and felt that it should not be so exaggerated, the church could not harvest the soul of every dead person, at least it had to be a believer, otherwise the power that the other party had would be too terrifying.
