Chapter 1289 Educational Reform, Chip Trial Production
After reading the information of those twelve people, Xia Duo couldn't help but have an idea - "Do you want to introduce an exam promotion system in the Tower of Time?" ”
The Ascending Ring Trial can indeed test the caster's learning in terms of spell principles and spellcasting techniques, but it is not comprehensive enough.
Moreover, the assessment is single, and the tower of time in the number of apprentices has skyrocketed, in fact, it does not play much role in finding out the latecomers.
It's more just a tradition.
"Education reform is imperative!"
With little hesitation, Xia Duo decided to bring back the examination system from the remnants of the empire to the Tower of Time, in addition to the system, the syllabus, exam questions, and even teaching and auxiliary materials here can also be brought back for reference.
Educational resources are limited, and giving priority to the selection of better talents is in line with the general law of development.
Even in Xia Duo's hometown, education is highly developed, and after many rounds of expansion of enrollment in colleges and universities across the country, it has not allowed all school-age groups to enter university studies.
The same is true in the wizarding world, unless the productive forces develop to a very high level in the future, and there is no shortage of resources, perhaps there will be a comprehensive education for all in the true sense.
Of course, in addition to selecting talents, the role of the exam is also to allow learners to have a clearer understanding of their own status, and then check and fill in the gaps to move to a higher level.
In Xia Duo's plan, apprentices will undergo generalist education before advancing to arcane masters, in order to increase their knowledge, thicken their foundation, and at the same time recognize the direction of development they aspire to.
Once you have advanced to the Arcanist, you can choose a major and focus on the direction you choose, which of course is for the vast majority of people.
For a small number of talented people, the profession does not limit their development, and they have a broader future.
……
Two days later, the lab was calm again, and the new apprentices kept to themselves, and nothing came of it.
The assistant researchers, on the other hand, are working hard and are constantly forging ahead in their respective projects.
The Huck Lab had just been established not long ago, and the living example was in front of them, so why not work hard at this time? What if it drags on for too long, and "McCadder" changes his mind?
For a moment, Xia Duo could clearly feel that the speed of each project was more than a step faster than usual, and he could vaguely detect everyone's thoughts, but at this moment he didn't have much heart to think about them.
Since yesterday morning, he has monopolized a refining alchemy circle in the laboratory, and the trial production of the spell chip has reached a very critical step until now-
Mithril Infusion!
Since it is a chip, it is naturally extremely small, and the smaller the Mithril component, the softer the Mithril filament, and the more restrictions there are when making it.
It may be that just a slight movement in the suspended field may cause it to deform, which will affect its subsequent link to the magic net.
Therefore, Xia Duo thought of using a material, which has stable physical properties, as a base, and etching the space required for the Mithril component through a high-precision alchemy circle.
He chose pure gold, which was not easily deformed.
Of course, the physical properties of gold are also very stable, but the texture of gold is soft, and gold was not used for the sake of safety in the first experiment.
Yesterday, Xia Duo spent the whole day manually etching the Adamantite base, until now, with the addition of Mithril, a half-finished spell chip is complete.
……
Since Mithril generally exists in a solid form, it needs to be converted into a liquid state when injected, which requires the use of magic, and once magic is used, a more violent elemental transmutation reaction will occur.
The key to this step is to inject in the shortest possible time.
Otherwise, the reserved Mithril component channel is extremely small, and if the elemental transmutation reaction is a little more and faster, it will greatly affect the purity of the finished Mithril component.
The purity of the Mithril component is related to the frequency of the elemental transmutation reaction when the actual spell is generated after the subsequent link to the magic web.
To put it simply, if the purity is not enough, then this spell chip is prone to accidents when it is linked to the magic network, and even if there is no accident when it is connected to the magic network, it will definitely have an accident when it is used when it is activated.
If you don't know it, it's a hand explosion!
Therefore, Xia Duo was nervous to the extreme and calm to the extreme, and these two very contradictory psychological states appeared on him at the same time, just for a small spell chip.
The last time he had this mentality, it was when he learned his first spell, and he was the same as he is now, nervous and excited, but at the same time trying his best to restrain himself and keep himself calm.
Fortunately, Xia Duo never let himself down at the critical moment, he calmly operated the alchemy circle, turned a grain of mythril the size of a soybean into a liquid state, and drove it to enter through the "entrance" of the chip base.
Silently counting "1, 2, 3", a trace of extremely fine Mithril liquid that is barely visible to the naked eye flows out of the "exit" of the chip base.
But Xia Duo didn't wait for it to flow out more, and then controlled the alchemy circle to throw the suspended chip into the sperm liquid at the other end of the suspended field.
Infused with Mithril and Adamantite encapsulation, all in one go!
The final chip itself is a dark blue ball of adamantite gold, almost the size of a human pupil.
Although it is called "The Chip", this is more of a borrowing from the name of a similar item in his own cognition, in fact, the Mithril components inside the spell chip are distributed in an irregular spherical shape in space.
In line with the principle of not wasting too much, the pure gold used for encapsulation naturally takes on the shape of a sphere.
Of course, this is only the distribution form of the internal Mithril components of this [Protective Force Field] spell chip, and considering the mutual coordination mechanism of multiple spell fusions, Xia Duo deliberately designed it into a spherical shape.
If you don't pursue spell fusion, and only use normal stacking, then it may be more reasonable to design it as an array layout.
In that case, the spell chip can really be designed as a "slice".
……
He padded a small ball of adamantite gold in his hand, but in fact a small half of it was occupied by Mithril, which was about the size of a soybean.
But that little bit of mythril the size of a soybean used up the basic mythril share of Xia Duo's laboratory for nearly half a month.
If it weren't for the fact that a lot of Level 1 projects in the laboratory had been completed during this time, and many projects had been approved at the same time, he really wouldn't have been able to squeeze out so much Mithril to make chips.
Regardless of the hard work and equipment loss, just counting the Mithril itself, for this little bit of high-purity Mithril, more than 50 pounds of standard Mithril in the main plane can be called high-grade Mithril.
In the end, Xia Duo didn't dare to test its purity, because the test itself would either consume the total amount or reduce the purity, either of which was not acceptable to him.
