Arcane Lord

In this way, time quickly came to the end of April, and the last complete test and results display of the independent Austrian fire device finally arrived.

After many times of stabilizing the magic network environment, in the center of one of the few relatively complete laboratories left, in the overlapping demi-plane area, a behemoth nearly a hundred meters high was continuously emitting a strong magical aura.

At the edge of this behemoth, all participants in the independent arcane fire device project looked with burning eyes at this magical creation created entirely by themselves.

"Shall we start?" Brod was already a little impatient.

"Um."

Sha Duo nodded heavily, but for today's last test, he didn't want to start it himself, but turned to look at Iolum:

"Teacher, come on this time!"

This project was started by Iolum and it was natural that it should be completed by Iolum. Although it was just a formality, Shado felt it was necessary.

Otherwise, why would my hometown still have ribbon-cutting by leaders in modern times?

Iolum was only slightly stunned by this, and then stepped forward to activate the device without hesitation. Obviously, he did not care about this similar form at all.

As this nearly 100-meter-tall spherical device was activated, the intensity of the magical aura it emitted reached a new level. At the same time, a dazzling light visible to the naked eye began to appear on the surface of the device.

It's a bit like the ball lamp in Chateau's hometown dance hall, except that the body of the independent arcane fire device is a hollow ball, so you can see that the entire cone from the spherical shape to the spherical surface is glowing.

This standard 1.0 version of the first generation independent arcane fire device integrates 256 independent arcana fires that are independent of each other and connected in series, that is to say——

At the same time, only 1/256 of this sphere is glowing!

However, because the 256 independent arcane fires switch very quickly, there is a certain degree of visual persistence effect, and the glowing area seen by the naked eye is much larger than the actual glowing area.

It is conceivable that as long as the independent arcane fires activated at the same time reach a certain proportion, it will look like the entire spherical device is glowing.

It's just that Xia Duo may never have the opportunity to see this effect. This is due to the fact that his current body, which has undergone many bloodline awakenings, has extremely strong dynamic vision. The switching speed of the first-generation device cannot cause him visual persistence at all.

The future upgrade direction of the device is not to increase the switching speed, but to increase the number of arcane fires activated at the same time until all independent arcana fires are activated at the same time.

In this process, the requirement for switching speed is that the slower the better.

Only now, when the device is relatively backward, can quick switching of independent arcane fire be used to make up for the shortcomings of the material itself.

If the materials are satisfactory, they can all be started at the same time without switching at all. In this case, the power of the device will reach the maximum value for this model.

…

With the device running smoothly, Xia Duo's mind was also far away. If it had been before the arcane field was discovered, he would probably be busy collecting arcana now.

But now, the arcane field generation mechanism has been integrated into the independent arcane fire device. As the device is activated, the arcane energy spreads out of the device in the form of a field.

It quickly covered the entire half-plane overlapping area. It wasn't that it couldn't be larger, but the test machine was designed to be so large. The adjustment after it was put into practical use was not complicated, and it can be said to be quite convenient.

As for collecting arcana, compared to before, it’s really like heaven and earth!

Luo Wei and others had already placed more than ten pieces of quasi-magical equipment in the experimental area. After the arcane field was unfolded, the equipment started automatically, and arcane crystals were continuously spit out from the equipment.

It’s even neatly numbered next to the device!

Basically, at least one standard arcane crystal will fall out every second, and this is only the lowest output power of the first-generation machine.

When materials improve in the future, even the first-generation machine can theoretically output up to 256 standard arcane crystals per second.

This number may seem a bit inconspicuous, but you must know that a standard arcana crystal is basically the actual energy consumption of a standard 10-level spell.

In other words, with certain transformation equipment, a first-generation independent arcane fire device can release 256 10th-level spells in one second.

This is a bit exaggerated!

But this is a future that is entirely possible.

Even now, isn't outputting a 10-level spell every second powerful enough?

…

Soon, five minutes passed, and ten minutes passed. The device was running stably without any abnormalities.

Although only a few hundred arcane crystals were harvested in these ten minutes, it seemed that they were not as much as collected when the failed experimental device disintegrated. At that time, it was possible to say at least hundreds of thousands or as many as hundreds of thousands at a time.

But the current device can continue to operate, let alone hundreds of thousands of arcane crystals, even if it is millions or tens of millions, it is only a matter of months.

If you want more, it is nothing more than building another device. If one is not enough, add several more. Xia Duo can already imagine a future where arcane crystals are not as good as water.

"Teacher, how long can the holy object last?"

"No more than ten hours at most. Considering that the process of de-suppression will take time, we will be ready to shut down in one hour at most."

Xia Duo nodded silently. Over the past few days, he had figured out how Iolum created this large area of ​​​​dead silence in the magic network with relative accuracy.

In addition to the related spells themselves, there is also a crucial spell-casting medium, which is the sacred object of the goddess of magic.

To a certain extent, holy objects are equivalent to divine grace. If there are no holy objects, giving Iolum enough time may be able to develop a method of creating a dead zone of magic network, but reality cannot give Iolum that much time.

Xia Duo thought that the "tricks" the other party mentioned to him before, apart from the fact that the simulated dead zone was not the real dead zone, probably also meant using the power of the goddess.

But divine grace is not endless. There will always be a time when it is used up. Before that, if the dead zone here is not restored to its original state, it may be a major accident that happened in Severton.

…

The one hour time came quickly, the device was still running stably, and the arcane crystal collector on the side also successfully collected thousands of arcana crystals.

"It's almost time, you can shut down the device, Xia Duo——"

"knew."

Shutting down the device is a little more cumbersome than starting it up, and there is a specific shutdown sequence, but it is still much simpler than casting a normal 9th-level spell.

In fact, the previous spherical core cross-section configuration plan designed by Iolum did not reserve a shutdown function at all, but wanted to complete it in one step.

This version of the radial ball designed by Chateau has included a shutdown function from the beginning to facilitate inspection and maintenance at any time. This is also his consistent idea.
