Banner of the Evil God

The new tool made by Sui Xiong is basically a freely adjustable metal frame. Put the ore in the frame, adjust the frame to clamp it, and then turn the knob to put the mithril probes on the upper and lower parts of the metal frame against the ore. Next, as long as the magic crystal is used, a magic flow can be formed between the two probes. There is a magic array sensitive to magic at the upper probe, which can emit light of different brightness according to the intensity of the magic flow. In this way, the brightness of the magic array can be used to determine whether the ore contains mithril and estimate the approximate content of mithril.

However, after actual testing, Sui Xiong found that this thing was not as useful as he imagined. More than once, the ore contained mithril even though the magic flow could not be detected.

He studied it repeatedly and finally found that this was because the distribution of mithril in the ore was not uniform. If the probe could not touch the mithril, the magic power would naturally not flow through the stone-this would of course result in an incorrect test result.

How to solve this problem?

Sui Xiong's engineering level is very poor, even not as good as that of middle school students with strong hands-on ability, so he thought about it and found that he still couldn't think of a solution to the problem.

He asked Morani, Morani smiled and shook his head: "In fact, your idea has been thought of by someone a long time ago, and the key difficulty lies here. The uneven distribution of minerals in the ore seriously affects the ability of the ore to conduct magic. For example, a piece of ore, half of it is silver and the other half is stone, how to measure it? This problem has not been solved yet, so we can only use the method of artificial ore selection. Fortunately, there is an obvious incompatibility between mithril and silver, and between innate mithril and acquired mithril, otherwise it will be more difficult to select ore."

Sui Xiong realized that he was not the first smart person.

What he could think of, others could think of. And the technology he used did not exceed the level that those more powerful magicians in the world could do. In this case, why didn't others try it before?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply and became frustrated.

"It's not that this problem is unsolvable," Morani said, "but... the solution is completely different from yours."

"Different ideas?" Sui Xiong's eyes lit up, and he asked curiously, "What's the difference?"

Morani didn't tell him immediately, but smiled and asked him to think about it himself.

So Sui Xiong thought about it, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Smash the ore?"

"It's not easy to smash the mithril." Morani shook his head.

Sui Xiong thought for a while, and then asked, "What kind of potion should be used to dissolve the ore?"

"The potion that can dissolve mithril is too precious. Even if it can only dissolve stone but not mithril, considering the amount used, it's not worth it." Morani shook his head again.

Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked, "How many holes should be drilled in the ore?"

"Then what?" Morani asked back.

Sui Xiong thought about it and found that it didn't seem to help. He sighed helplessly: "Okay, I don't seem to be smart enough. What method did you use to solve this problem later?"

Morani laughed and waved his hand. A large ball of magic power appeared out of thin air and condensed into a liquid-like shape with a diameter of about one foot. Then he picked up a fist-sized piece of mithril ore and threw it in.

"Under the infiltration of powerful magic power, silver will slowly transform into mithril. If there is mithril around, the efficiency of conversion can be even faster. In this high-concentration magic environment, a piece of ore like this can be completely transformed into mithril ore in about 30 years. Don't worry about it being silver ore."

Sui Xiong was stunned. He never thought that this was the solution.

Can't easily distinguish between silver ore and mithril ore? Then turn the silver ore into mithril ore.

Isn't this the famous idea of ​​"If you can't solve the problem, then eliminate it"!

He stayed for a long time, then suddenly remembered something and asked: "But in this case, how to distinguish innate mithril from acquired mithril?"

Morani was silent for a while and asked: "Is there a lot of innate mithril?"

"Not much, very little."

"So, is it necessary to consider this problem?"

Sui Xiong suddenly realized.

If there is innate mithril, no matter how much trouble it is, it is worth it because it is expensive enough.

But in fact, in most cases, mineral processing workers don't have to consider the problem of innate mithril at all-where in the world there is so much innate mithril!

Sui Xiong himself is also stuck in a dead end, so he will think about this meaningless problem. It's like a chef apprentice, the teacher teaches him the technique of braised pork, explains how to cook various common meats such as pork, beef, mutton, dog meat, chicken, duck, etc., and then he suddenly says "Teacher, how to cook panda meat?"

If the teacher didn't beat him on the spot, it must be very well-mannered.

Thinking of this, Sui Xiong couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, he put the matter aside for the time being and sent a message to the Minister of Mining, Raif Kawart, and the Chief Mage Satan, asking them to cooperate and build the Mithril Conversion Pool as soon as possible.

The Mithril Conversion Pool itself can not only be used to convert silver ore into Mithril ore, but also can be used as the most important facility for the Magician Organization - the Magic Pool.

The so-called magic pool refers to a facility that concentrates a large amount of magic power and can be freely called when it is needed. For mages, it is a waste if the magic power generated naturally is not used. If the magic power is stored at ordinary times and used at critical moments, it will be more efficient and more beneficial whether it is used for research or combat.

For example, two magicians are fighting, and both of them have used up all their magic power. One of them took out a machete and said, "Oppa also practiced swordsmanship in the past." The other one was powerless and could only be hacked to death. At this time, he smiled slightly, took out the magic props for communication, dialed a number, and saw a flash of light. He immediately called the magic power in the magic pool, restored his combat effectiveness, and killed the opponent with a spell...

This situation really happened in the Secret Tower Federation, and it happened more than once.

Among the magic organizations around the world, the Secret Tower Federation likes to build magic pools the most. Although this technology was not invented by them, it was developed and promoted by them. At present, every magic tower in the Secret Tower Federation must be equipped with a magic pool, so within the range that the magic tower's barrier can extend or support, the magicians of the Secret Tower Federation have almost endless fighting ability.

The Northwest Republic actually also has a magic pool, which is built in the magic tower of the legendary necromancer Tuyaan. Tuyaan himself does not mind sharing this magic pool with everyone, but his magic pool is specially built for necromancy. No one else dares to use it except himself and his dozen disciples.

Chief Mage Satan has always planned to build a magic pool, but he has been delayed by various things and has never had time to build it. Now with Sui Xiong's order, I believe he will finally put those other things aside for the time being and build the magic pool first.

I believe this will be of great benefit to the construction of the mage team of the Northwest Republic!
