Chapter 1040
Xia Duo was very satisfied with the results of the constancy test of the statue material, there were almost no obstacles to the link of the Magic Net String, and there were many nodes for linking or energy flow.
Perhaps this material was specifically sought out by the ancient Saruk Witch for the purpose of constant magic.
It was hard for Xia Duo to imagine how that ancient race had found this material from the almost vast transformation of the earth element.
But he used ready-made ones.
In fact, if it's just for constant magic, you can use any material, even if it's a dead branch or a stone you pick up in the forest.
But if you want to make the magic that is constant go up more stable and last, you need to find some suitable materials.
In addition, the different forms of Ayn stone with different functions are also to cooperate with the different links of different magic at a constant time to make the finished product more stable.
……
"Let's make a sample first!"
As Xia Duo made his decision, the bloodline power responded, and a huge water ball appeared out of thin air in the alchemy laboratory.
This is not an elemental illusion, but real water.
Of the four elements, only the water element can embody pure water, and the rest, such as the earth element, manifests almost all-encompassing, indefinite substances, or more generally, too many impurities.
For example, the fire elemental does not even have a physical form, if the concentration of the fire element is too high, it will only ignite or heat the normal matter nearby, and if it is higher, it may open a passage to the fire elemental plane.
For example, the element of wind, or air, is also similar to the element of earth, and is not pure.
As for positive and negative energy, its essence can be seen as the generation and death of the four elements, and there is no concrete manifestation.
Although Xia Duo uses a large piece of wood to transform the stone, the wood is not a dense structure, and the quality of the transformed stone may be discounted.
Coupled with the fact that the wood needed to be moved outside the warehouse or the Tower of Time, and the water was readily available, he tried to convert it with water first.
First, use the blood vein ability to control the water balloon to elongate and turn into a cylindrical shape, and then-
- 6 Rings [Elemental Transformation - Earth]
This spell is not the original version of the statue of the Witch of Sarukh, but rather a petrification spell that Shado has compiled after studying the statue and the petrification samples of Jabas and his son.
Some of these elements are the same as the statue, and if he knows the elemental nature of Mithril, he can even transform it directly from this spell!
In fact, "being able to transform matter" and "being able to transform a specific substance on demand" are two different concepts entirely.
This is very similar to the materials science on Earth, where humans often discover strange recipes that can be used to produce materials with various special functions.
However, if you want to determine the properties of the material first, and then find the composition formula, it is much more difficult.
In the wizarding world, the foundation of matter is the elements, and as long as the elemental nature of matter can be penetrated, then there are no secrets in the material world (in the narrow sense).
Obviously, this is a systematic and difficult research topic, and Xia Duo's research on elemental transformation is still very shallow and has not penetrated to this level.
Human energy is limited and must be selective, but the potential of civilization is unlimited, and in the future, it may be possible to establish relevant research institutions to conduct organized and planned systematic research.
Even if something is really studied, it may not bring benefits, but disasters.
With the current state of society in Nessrael and even in the Northland Elves, it would be a blessing in disguise for either side to grasp the mystery of the elemental nature.
…… knight-errant
In an alchemy laboratory on the public floor of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo looked at the blue-black stone pillar in front of him, which was waist-thick but higher than him, and was silently distracted.
"Looks like the Salek Witch statue must have been underground for so long that it turned almost 100% black!"
Color wasn't the point, though, there was so much magic that could change color, and what he really cared about was the nature of the new material.
Regardless of waiting for a week, when this stone pillar was completely stabilized, Xia Duo immediately began a new round of constant testing.
Check the open nodes that link the strings of the web and the energy that diverts the elemental energy, as this work can be seen and results directly under the magical vision.
The most essential difference between ordinary matter and living beings in the magic web is that there is a natural closed loop in the connection between living beings and the strings of the magic web, while ordinary matter is allowed to pass through the strings of the magic web, which can be regarded as completely open nodes.
The number of nodes is related to the number of strings that can be linked, or the complexity of the spells used for a constant time.
For creatures, especially humans, the number of open nodes determines the number of magical equipment that can be linked to the same tone, as well as the complexity of the spells that are constant with themselves.
Magical items with passive properties, such as robes, basically need to be linked to themselves in tune in order to be effective.
As for magic items such as ordinary spell books, fireball rings, magic staffs, and magic wands, which only have the function of active use, most of them do not need to be linked to the same tone, and they can basically be used when they are in hand, and there is no limit to the number of items that can be carried or even used at the same time.
……
Xia Duo only glanced at it, and he could see that the open nodes of the blue-black stone pillar in front of him had surpassed his own, which also meant that this stone pillar was theoretically an excellent constant magic base material.
The reason why I say this in theory is because it is rigorous, after all, it has not yet passed the constant test.
Although it is proofing, and the statue sample has been tested before, the process that should be there is still indispensable, which is also Xia Duo's conscious cultivation of his own magic literacy.
After a simple but rigorous constant test, he determined that the pillar was a good base material for constant magic.
However, due to the fact that the materiality of the transformed stone pillar had not been completely stabilized, the stone pillar began to reverse after the test.
The surface was pitted, and many cracks reached deep into the interior, and the ground near the base of the pillar was dripping with pure water that had been reversed from the stone.
The stone pillar was not completely reversed in the end, but it was basically unusable.
Xia Duo found that there were no more open nodes for this kind of stone pillar than he did, which also meant that it was almost impossible to use it for high-end magic equipment.
At the same time, this also proves one of his previous conjectures, that is-
Non-dense structural stone converted from wood is inferior to dense structural stone converted from pure water in terms of being used as a constant magic base material.
……
After that, Xia Duo re-transformed the six stone pillars according to the previous method, but this time he didn't do any more tests, and left them alone.
He planned to wait for the materiality of these stone pillars to be completely stabilized before proceeding with the proofing and trial production of the physical code.
For now, he was ready to ponder what the physical codex needed to do, and the order in which those spells would be executed, as well as the arrangement of nodes.
