Chapter 537: Establishing the Demon Net System and Methods for Extracting Antimatter
The internal meeting of the legendary Speakers didn't make much of a stir in the outside world, but some of the most astute wizards sensed the approaching war.
Because the parliamentary breakthrough had accelerated the construction of various infrastructures, especially the railway network between the major cities of the empire, which was a top priority, it was ordered to be completed within two months.
In addition to this, the council also transferred a large number of laborers to the north, and began to build all kinds of strong protective equipment there, and the magic workshop also expanded wildly, working overtime every day to produce weapons and ammunition.
Today, the empire has a population of 20 million, and the number of laborers alone has reached 4 million, and various problems such as management disorder, enslavement of workers, and deduction of wages have followed.
None of the more serious of these is the problem of food shortages.
After all, a large number of people leaving agriculture also means that grain production is reduced and land is wasted, but fortunately, with the grain collected from major traders, it is still barely able to survive the summer harvest of the new year.
The large farms covering most of the Central Plains ushered in an unprecedented harvest thanks to the combined effect of mechanical cultivation and magical fertilization, and tons of wheat grain were transported to all parts of the empire through the railway network, directly strangling the food crisis that had not yet begun in the cradle.
But both the joy of the harvest and the gloom of the war were quickly overshadowed by another major news - the magic net developed by Speaker Lynn was officially operational, and any wizard, apprentice, or even some civilians with excellent grades could join in!
This is undoubtedly exciting news, although in the previous academic seminar, Lynn allowed tens of thousands of wizards to watch the results of the double-slit interference experiment through the magic web, but this time it affected hundreds of thousands of people in the entire empire!
As soon as the news came out, countless apprentices in the empire who were trapped in limited talent and could not complete the promotion were immediately overjoyed and joined the magic net one after another.
And the most excited are undoubtedly the graduates of the civilian colleges.
Ali is also one of them, but he is undoubtedly much luckier than others, born in the land of wizards, he was the first to enter the civilian academy, but he was recruited in advance because of his excellent grades in the middle of his studies, and became an airship pilot that everyone envies!
However, after the end of the Parliament's war against the Empire, Ali did not rely on his military exploits to continue his promotion, but chose to return to the academy to study Olympiad mathematics, physics, chemistry and other subjects in depth.
Whether it is his comrades-in-arms or relatives and friends, they all feel very incomprehensible about his decision, after all, civilians like them who have no magical talent, no matter how well they learn, will only enter the wizard workshop in the end and give a hand to the wizards who are high above.
Being able to become a pilot and control a huge and delicate airship is the dream of many people.
But Ari gave it up, for the simple reason that he was not satisfied with this, and he was born in the land of wizards and knew a secret message, Speaker Lynn...... That magic star may have the means to make ordinary people become wizards.
Because one of the other party's apprentices is a halfling who is recognized as having no magical talent, he has wanted to become a wizard apprentice many times, but was rejected by the Iyeta Academy, and finally relied on the excellent alchemy airship to win the appreciation of Speaker Lynn, not only was accepted as a disciple but also gained the ability to cast spells.
If you perform well in the civilian academy, you may also be favored by a great wizard.
Of course, this probability is very small, Yali has been in the academy for half a year, almost excellent in science, and he has not been able to meet any great wizard with a discerning eye, but he unexpectedly waited for the opportunity for this magic net to open.
Ali, who had excellent grades, became the first 1,000 people to test the medicine very smoothly and received a [Enlightenment Potion].
This thing is actually a weakened version of the [Source of Magic Power], which was originally used by apprentices to break through formal wizards, but now that they can be promoted by relying on the magic net to bless computing power, it is safer, so they can't be used at all.
The Council's potions masters reduced its effect to one-fifth of its original effect, allowing ordinary people to take it safely, but the effect was also greatly reduced, and only a small amount of magic could be obtained.
Fortunately, this is enough, at least the minimum requirements for learning meditation and linking to the magic web.
Under the watchful eye of a potions master, Ali took the potion with a slight tremble, and drank it all, the cyan liquid poured down his throat, and then there was a piercing pain and burning sensation all over his body.
But Ali didn't care, because for the first time he felt the presence of magic, his body seemed to be boiling, and his soul was jumping......
"Very good, Seventh Experimental Group, 345 No Adverse Effects......" The Potions Master glanced at Ali and quickly recorded the data on the page.
It took about ten minutes for Ali to recover from the physical transformation caused by the potion, and then he hurriedly closed his eyes and tried the magic net to communicate, and a wave of magic flew away at the speed of light, and was soon received by the magic base station.
It was a feeling that his brain was about to explode, and when Ali got used to it, he found himself in a dark and infinite void, gray runes suspended in mid-air, as dazzling as stars.
Yali subconsciously touched the rune closest to him, and a large amount of information suddenly poured into his mind, and the gray rune also turned color.
It's the basic spell [Elementary Matter Deconstruction]...... Ali quickly understood the information, and even more roughly understood the technique of casting magic, and even couldn't help but touch the rest of the runes.
This time, no message came, and instead a reminder sounded.
[Ding, One Ring of Superior Elemental Magic - Multi-Ice Blade, Requires Minimum Mental Power Rating - Apprentice (not achieved), Elementary Chemistry Diploma (achieved)] 】
Ali was obviously stunned for a moment, but he quickly figured out the meaning of this prompt tone, junior chemistry diploma, of course he has it, after all, he passed the chemistry exam with excellent results.
As for the mental power rating, Yali checked it, and his rating was only 0.4, which was still 0.1 before reaching the minimum standard for apprentices.
Because of the clear goal and progress, Yali is not discouraged, even if he makes up his mind to go back, he must work hard to exercise his mental power and reach the standard of a wizard's apprentice as soon as possible, and then learned two basic spells in the magic net, namely [Mage's Hand] and [Condensation].
Ali opened his eyes again, and immediately began to experiment, driven by the [Mage's Hand], the books on the table immediately levitated.
"Magic, that's magic!" Ari was indescribably excited, he didn't expect that he would actually become a wizard.
However, the mental power of an ordinary person is limited after all, even if Yali is the best among the civilians and takes the [Enlightenment Potion], but after maintaining the [Mage's Hand] for about thirty seconds, there is a dizziness in the brain, and he hurriedly cancels the spell casting.
The potions master recorded Aari's performance one by one, but his expression was a little complicated when he looked at the other party, because from today onwards, the name Magic Miracle was no longer the preserve of the gifted, and he didn't know if this change was good or bad......
In fact, there are not a few wizards who have the same grudge against the magic web as him, and there are even some radical wizards who maliciously hope that something will go wrong with the magic star's construction of the magic web.
Although the hereditary aristocracy of the empire has been uprooted, there is a faint sign of recovery, and with the rise of status and strength and the improvement of the living environment, the theory of magical bloodline has also quietly emerged.
The gist of this is that wizards are noble, and their bodies are filled with magical blood, so they can harness the incredible power of magic!
It's just that this trend of thought has not had time to develop a large enough audience, and it is broken by the magic net built by Lynn.
The establishment of the magic net system means that even civilians without the slightest magical talent can gain the same strength as them through learning, and the opposition is naturally endless.
Fortunately, this sound did not last long, and it became smaller and smaller, because more and more wizards found that the magic net was too convenient!
Calling computing power to assist in promotion is only one of the functions, and you can also intuitively see the remaining reserves of your mana, test your approximate physical fitness, assist in the conduct of magic experiments, and even assist in combat to a certain extent - but this is an advanced option, not everyone can apply for calling.
According to rumors, the magic star also intends to continue to add communication and currency trading features......
This made the wizards who were gradually familiar with the magic net a little reluctant to let go, and correspondingly, there were naturally fewer voices of opposition.
On the other side, Lynn also received an experimental report from the [Enlightenment Potion].
"Are all a thousand people successful? It seems that a large-scale rollout can be considered. Lynn thought to himself, he was not surprised by this result, but it was just that it was not too difficult for a person to have magic power initially.
The only problem with large-scale promotion is the lack of materials, each bottle of [Enlightenment Elixir] needs to consume a lot of potion reserves, even if the Council occupies the entire continent and obtains part of the church's potion reserves, it is only enough to make 50,000 bottles.
However, this time the deployment of the magic net throughout the empire has brought huge gains, and now the official wizards who have linked the magic net have reached 19,000, and the apprentices have exceeded 300,000.
Lynn, who had tried the magic network link, found that with the blessing of computing power, he was a small distance away from the limit of the Nine Rings Wizard.
Thinking like this, Lynn looked at the several books that were open on the table, and recently he had taken the time to read the books written by Artok, the [Elemental Master], and it could indeed only be described as crazy.
It is full of all kinds of gratuitous speculations and fantasies, but fortunately, Lynn still barely found some clues about quantization from the words inside, which seems to be related to his own soul, and he also faintly guessed what to do, but he didn't dare to be 100% sure,
He has also taken the time to write the quantum theory, which integrates the special and general relativity theories, and has divided it into ten manuscripts, ready to be published one by one, and only the great wizard and above can view them.
If they can break the fear of microscopic phenomena of the great wizards before the war of the Lord of the Necromancy invades this world begins, then they will be able to add a few more legendary combat powers.
Finally, there's the question of antimatter acquisition!
This is the weapon that Lynn agreed to use against the Lord of the Necromancy, destroying everything through the powerful power brought by the positive and antimatter annihilation effect, but how to obtain the antimatter becomes a problem!
Antimatter is like a mirror image of ordinary matter, as if it is the Taoist theory of yin and yang, where everything has positive and negative!
It's just that unlike what many people think, antimatter is not uncommon, but it is everywhere, and there is a steady stream of positive and anti-particles in the surrounding space and in the body.
They exist for a very short time, and they tend to be released as energy by destroying each other the moment they emerge.
When this phenomenon was detected for the first time, many researchers in history even called out that the law of conservation of energy was broken!
Because these positive and negative particles appear out of thin air, they can even emerge from a vacuum without warning.
Of course, subsequent research has proved that the law of conservation of energy is still solid, but the vacuum is not really nothing, or that the scientific and technological level of the Federation cannot really expel all matter and energy.
As for the antimatter extraction device, there are also many in the brain, such as the most advanced antimatter extractor, which has an antiparticle trap set up inside, which can capture the antiparticles emerging from the vacuum and store them.
However, it is obvious that they can't make such a convenient high-tech, so they still use some ancient methods, such as collisions between high-energy particles.
When enough energy is used to crush particles, some of that energy is converted into antimatter.
This necessitated the use of the Demonized High-Speed Particle Collider, which he had already secretly started building, and which was not announced to the public due to secrecy.
"I just don't know if antimatter can also be parsed and ......manipulated by magic," Lynn thought to himself, which was also his biggest concern, because it was almost impossible to mass-produce antimatter at their level, and there was not enough time.
The only solution is to create some anti-hydrogen atoms, then analyze them through the [Great Disintegration], and then use the magic power to create them on a large scale, just like they magicalized the nuclear explosion, and construct the corresponding spell to perform [Positive and Antimatter Annihilation]!
While Lynn was thinking, he sorted out the manuscript, and called Elok to compile some of the manuscripts of the theory of relativity, make a hundred copies, and send them to the great wizards in the council who study quantum phenomena.
It's a pity that the time is too little, and now there are only about three months left, if they can have a few more years, then they will definitely be much more calm......
