Chapter 102: The History of the Failure of the Magic Fiber
This is not the first time that attempts have been made to make optical fibers from a material as conductors of magical energy.
In the past winter, the group of industrial priests had been tinkering with the quartz alloy steel orc double-headed axe that Chen Zhou had obtained from the Flower Harbor.
Until now, the axe had been melted hundreds of times, repeatedly shaped with the Blacksmith's Blessing and mixed with other materials to create a new alloy.
Thanks to the hard work of the industrial priests, the Great River Collar has now studied the proportion of quartz alloy steel, which can be synthesized in an artificial rather than natural environment.
Despite this, there has been no progress in the experiment with optical fiber.
Now that they have failed hundreds of times, the industrial priests are already a little numb, and even the dwarven priests who cooperate with them say that it is impossible for them.
There are three reasons why magic optical fibers are bound to fail -
The structure of an internal magic good conductor and an external magic insulator may sound fine, but in fact neither is realistic.
There is no absolute magic conductor, and there is no absolute magic insulator...... Unless you blow up the net.
Based on this, the magic in the outside atmosphere will gradually and naturally penetrate into the optical fiber, causing the magic flowing inside it to be disordered.
Eventually, the otherwise orderly magic becomes untransferable after the disorder, causing the conduction efficiency of the fiber to rapidly decline and become useless garbage.
But after learning about the two materials, Ice and Ice Essence, Jerry was immediately inspired.
Because the Ice Essence hinders the magic of other attributes, but only allows the magic of the cold attribute to circulate.
Exposure to the natural environment will not interfere with the magical energy circulating in it, but will instead eliminate the magic of other attributes that are not accepted by the Ice Element.
As long as the cold attribute of the bad conductor metal is used as the outer skin, it can have the effect of eliminating the interference of other attributes of magic and preventing the internal energy of the optical fiber from escaping outward.
"Will this work?"
After hearing Rat Mouse's new idea, Chen subconsciously deduced it in his heart, and planned to use a "fox cunning" to analyze it.
But after hesitating for a moment, he simply threw away his brain and thought about it with high intensity of his senses - it can be done!
"Of course, there is no problem, the essence of this system is the improvement of the quartz alloy steel fiber system, and we can even further improve the effectiveness of ice essence through repeated experiments."
Instead of pursuing absolute magic insulators, it is better to study how to avoid internal and external magic disturbing each other.
With a new technological breakthrough on the horizon, Chen had no intention of researching it on his own, so he went to the workshop that was once known as the blacksmith's shop to find his chief priest, Burn Frost.
After becoming an ally through the signing, the Frost Cat, who used to lie on the blacksmith shop day and night to watch, has transformed into the "Heroic Force" form of the Spirit Cat Divine Messenger.
The Spirit Cat Divine Envoy and the Spiritual Cat Divine Envoy cannot be generalized, and the main body is a forest cat with a large size and high strength hunting expert, resulting in a buff when transformed into an Ailu Cat Man.
So a burly Elu cat the size of a dwarf with a normal strength of +8 appeared, just like the chef who helped Chen Zhou cook in the Star Stronghold......
When Chen and Feng Hina ignore Lily, who was left alone in the conference hall to make a proposal, they arrive at the workshop, and find that Lightning had already visited the place before them, and learned about the so-called god of industrialization while visiting like a curious baby.
Everything here is so new that the poet can't help but be curious about this new mode of forging and try to combine it with the song of creation that he has mastered.
Seeing that the lord was still coming over to make trouble in their busy schedule, the poisonous milk-colored ripples who were testing the properties of the new material were a little puzzled: "Your Excellency, do you have any instructions?" ”
"Occasionally come over and inspect, how is the manufacturing of optical fibers?"
Ripple Walk shook his head, as always, making no progress.
Although it cannot be said that the progress is completely zero, they have only made a breakthrough in the aspect of by-products.
"What fiber?" The spotted cat man probed curiously.
"It's a kind of thread that theoretically allows magic to be conducted in it without interference."
Lightning wondered, what was the use of this thing?
If you want the magic to be arranged in a specific form, wouldn't it be better to draw the magic circle honestly?
For example, using the blood of some magical creatures, special magical materials, or prayed silver powder, gems that store a lot of magical power.
Who came up with the stupid idea of using such an inefficient alloy?
"The problem is that the 'magic array' we need to draw is much more complex than the magic array you understand."
Poisonous milk-colored ripples scurried away and sneaked a glance at the golden gradient that had been shot for no reason, and then explained: "According to the laws we have summarized, magic will always flow spontaneously from high concentration to low concentration, which leads to the limited duration of the magic array, which is also the reason why spells have the limit of 'duration'. ”
Even with infinite magical power, it is difficult to cast magic of infinite duration at once.
Over time, the stable, orderly, high-precision runic structures will spontaneously collapse and must be maintained in some form.
The magic circle mentioned by the Spotted Cat poet is one of them, but the large amount of magic power gathered will eventually affect each other, causing the magic circle itself to easily interrupt the effect in an instant due to some physical deficiencies.
The joke that a reckless high-ranking mage uses a magic circle to bind a demon, only to be accidentally disrupted by a gust of wind or other reasons and get gnawed away by the silver powder is not without a prototype, and it is even very common......
The mage's death would have made for several tomes.
"Therefore, the precise and orderly flow of magic without external interference is the goal we pursue."
According to the explanation of the poisonous milk-colored ripples, there is an energy called "electricity" in the direct presence of the Star People.
This energy is even more magical than magic, the source is unknown, the principle is unknown, and people still can't fully understand such things as electrons and positive electrons.
"In our world, this magical universal energy source called electricity, obtained by boiling water, is transmitted through wires, allowing the entire city to use something similar to a magical object that is used as an energy source as they please."
However, Chen Zhou and the Blue Star people found that their magic that contained a lot of information was essentially closer to light, so they used optical fibers/optical cables to temporarily call what they had developed.
After listening to the poisonous milk-colored ripples, the spotted cat man looked suspicious.
"You fools, do you really have this kind of energy that is more convenient than magic and can be obtained by boiling water? It can even spawn from the Void?? There is a limit to joking! ”
Hearing this, the Blue Star people showed a helpless expression, it seems that even the bard, who is known for his erudition and talent, cannot accept the energy of "electricity", which is more magical than magic.
