Arcane Lord

When he first arrived here, Sha Duo noticed that more than half of the ten arcane crystal extractors had been damaged, and the magic aura displayed by the remaining ones was also unstable.

It is estimated that it will be difficult for Xia Duo to achieve the ideal output state.

Arriving near the surface of the island, Niya was excitedly flying up and down around the arcane crystal extractors, grabbing a handful of standard arcane crystals from time to time, and then throwing them away to grab another handful.

Due to the extremely weak gravity of the blue crystal plane, the arcane crystals dropped by Niya fell extremely slowly and soon covered a large space.

Under the illumination of the [Mythra] device not far away, it looked like a string of shining teardrops.

After Sha Duo arrived, he cast a spell to gather all the arcane crystals together and stack them neatly. Since standard arcane crystals have a fixed size, Sha Duo could roughly judge the number of these arcane crystals at a glance.

It was around 120,000 pieces, which was one-fifth less than the 150,000 he originally expected!

"Well enough."

"What's so good! There are so many, and it only took six days. It's hard to imagine how many arcane crystals we will have in a year's time!"

Compared with Xia Duo's calmness and even faint dissatisfaction, Niya looked much more optimistic. She walked around Xia Duo's well-coded crystal cube with a side length of almost half a meter. His smile never stopped.

"Be calm, this is just the beginning, we will never lack arcane crystals in the future!"

Xia Duo warned, and then quickly changed the subject, "I'll give you a question. Can you check those arcane crystal extractors and see why they are damaged?"

After saying this, Niya's attention was indeed attracted. When she saw the appearance of the arcane crystal extractors, she was immediately surprised and asked: "Why are the ones you made damaged, but the ones I made are not broken?"

"Go check it out!"

Xia Duo has actually guessed the general reason. This should be regarded as an engineering problem. However, the time for the previous experiment in Severton was too tight. It only verified the feasibility of the Arcane Crystal Extractor and did not conduct long-term, high-speed experiments. Strength work test.

Niya didn't react at this time. She first checked the damaged ones made by Sha Duo, and then checked the ones she made herself.

After a while, Niya returned to Xia Duo and tentatively gave an answer: "The damage is related to the production quality. The better the quality, the easier it is to be damaged?"

But in fact, she herself didn't quite believe this answer. It was too counterintuitive, but the reality was there.

It is difficult to make a horizontal comparison between the damaged extractors made by Xia Duo, but among the ones she made, there are still a few that are in standby mode!

Obviously the ones made later are more susceptible to damage. Although the first extractor she made before was of the worst quality, it was the one in the best condition among the ten extractors!

"Only half right!"

Xia Duo did not give in, and quickly explained the real reason for the damage of these extractors, "These ten devices are in the same working sequence, and the one I made is at the front. Damage is almost an inevitable result under continuous high-intensity work.

"The ones you made are slightly rough, which makes the working status of their devices unstable. When in the work sequence, the working status of several devices will switch back and forth. The one with the worst quality will have the least time to work on its turn. It’s relatively easier to preserve.”

After listening to Xia Duo's explanation, Niya's mood was a bit complicated at the moment: "You mean, the ones you made were all destroyed first, and then the workload was shared equally among the ones I made. This made me make It’s not completely destroyed?”

"Absolutely, and the last extractor made by me, if nothing else, should have been damaged yesterday."

"Okay! So that's it!"

Niya sighed heavily, she thought she had discovered some special skills in the process of making magic items! Didn't expect this!

Immediately afterwards, she seemed to have thought of something and asked quickly: "Then do we have to make a new batch of extractors every time we come here? Or should we make them in the main plane and then bring them in?"

"It's not necessary." Sha Duo shook his head, "I was careless before and ignored the usage limits of normal magic items. I just need to adjust the working frequency."

The main reason why normal magic items can be used for a long time is that the working time is very short, but the arcane crystal extractor responds almost every few seconds, and can run out the entire life of normal magic items in almost one day.

This is because the mithril materials used by Xia Duo are all high-purity mithril used to make high-quality magic items. If it were replaced with ordinary mithril, it might not last even half a day.

There is another issue that Shado and even Iolum have ignored, and that is——

Nowadays, when arcane energy is extremely abundant, it is already somewhat outdated to use standard arcane energy crystals as units of measurement and spell extraction units.

It needs to be replaced with a larger standard to match the growing output power of [Mythra] in the future.

[Create Arcane Crystal] This spell is only a 5-level spell. The limit is to create a standard Arcana crystal. If you use a higher-level spell, you may be able to crystallize as many as 100,000 standard Arcana crystals in one go. can be extracted.

Or, arcane crystals should return to their original units, using arcane values ​​to calculate size instead of using standard arcane crystals to calculate quantity.

According to the standards previously calculated and defined by Xia Duo, if a standard arcane crystal is converted into arcane energy value, it is almost 1,000 points.

And this is also the actual energy consumption of a standard 10th-level spell.

In other words, he obtained a total of 120 million points of arcane crystallization in the past six days.

However, these are all conversions in some units. What standards should be adopted must be combined with reality to facilitate calculations or intuitive feelings. Xia Duo is not ready to push the definition standard of 1 crystal = 1000 points for the time being.

“Niya, now I’ll give you another task!”

"What mission? Aren't you going to build a floating city?"

"Of course it needs to be built, but there is still some preparation work to be done. During this time, you can help me design an extractor that can extract at least 1,000 standard arcane crystals at one time."

The number 1000 is an approximate number that Shado came up with considering the upper limit of the strength of the arcane field generated by the current [Mythra] device (the amount of arcane energy that the field converts into).

The intensity of the arcane field is not constant, but is increasing all the time, but it has an artificial upper limit. After exceeding the upper limit, the arcane energy produced by the [Mythra] device will be merged into the magic network, instead of continuing to push High field strength.

The arcane energy of 1000 standard arcane crystals cannot be produced in an instant, but so many arcane crystals can be produced at one time, but it will greatly weaken the field strength.

During normal use, it will definitely limit the rate at which the field strength decreases, but now in order not to waste any arcane energy and at the same time extend the service life of the arcane crystal extractor as much as possible, this is the only way to do it.
