Mage? Spell Engineer!

After the experimental device was built, Rorschach improved it several times and obtained interesting results.

The time has come for the thesis defense.

"Don't be nervous. Our mission is to get more money. There is no need to overthink it. For the sake of your teacher, no one will make it difficult for you." Kano patted Rorschach on the shoulder before entering the conference room.

Rorschach felt warm in his heart: "Good professor." Ah, a model tutor is nothing more than that.

The current thesis defense process is still somewhat different from the process in the previous life, because Rorschach is now an intermediate mage, and the focus should be to obtain independent funding, so it is more like applying for the "Magic Guild Holy Kingdom Branch Magic Research Fund."

Fortunately, there are few mages, so the competition is not too fierce. Many mages who have contributions from businessmen and nobles disdain to accept the advice of their peers and bow to "five livres of silver coins" without any need for sponsorship and funding from the guild.

There were five participating mages who were participating in the defense. Luo Xia bowed to them and said hello. Some smiled and nodded, while some were unmoved and looked at the materials prepared in advance with a cold face. There was also a familiar face among them: Ina winked at him.

Sitting in the middle and headed by another female mage: "Okay, let's get started."

First, there was a half-quarter-of-an-hour speech. Rorschach wanted to use the form of presentation slides, but unfortunately the hardware conditions did not allow it. He could only take out the schematic diagram drawn on cardboard from the storage ring, magnetically attach it to the speech board, and cooperate with the on-site blackboard explanation.

“Currently, the research and application of magic are becoming larger and more complex. Simply collecting and utilizing the ether in the main plane environment is gradually unable to meet the growing requirements for spell operation and the real production needs of alchemical technology.

Under the new situation of new spells and new technologies, higher requirements have been put forward for the energy density and amount of input ether. In the previous research of the Kano team, in order to support large-scale, cross-dimensional teleportation magic and teleportation magic to the star realm, the development of An ether conversion output device powered by a steam engine has initially solved the problem of poor sustainability and low output power of personal condensed ether.

During the design and exploration process of the main plane-astral teleportation array, Professor Leonor Cano's research team found a method to collect transmutation dust from the edge of the astral plane. Based on this technology, our group seeks to develop and utilize Transformed into dust.

Transmutation dust has several characteristics: extremely high ether energy density, doping with unknown divine power, instability in the main plane, and releasing energy and decaying. It is dangerous to a certain extent, but due to the huge energy contained, it has extremely broad potential. Application prospects: If a safe and stable energy collection method can be found, it will help to obtain a more powerful source of etheric energy without relying on the individual Archmage.

Increases in the scale and density of energy input will further increase the complexity of new spells and the spread of alchemical techniques."

Rorschach kept talking, and worked hard to draw pancakes according to Kano's instructions, blowing this technique into a powerful pill, as if eating it would bring peace to the world.

In fact, Rorschach does not think it is an exaggeration. In the previous life, the main manifestation of the industrial revolution was the energy revolution. Every time the method and efficiency of energy utilization improved, the productivity of the whole society could take a big step forward.

Even if Rorschach can't tinker with the "Miser Energy Core", the heaven-defying perpetual motion machine that is the source of the Demonic Network, if he can really develop a device that transforms dust into ether, it will be no different than digging for oil.

After stating his research methods and planned timetable, Rorschach ended the lecture stage. For some reason, Rorschach noticed that the two old men opposite him seemed to be hypnotized by him. They lowered their heads, probably reading information, but they didn't move for a long time.

Next came the torture time for the five sitting teachers. Answer and answer, just answer and not argue. If you really want to play a debate match with your teacher, your teacher won’t mind inviting you to play overtime.

"You said that this research will provide more concentrated etheric magic power than the Archmage, but I don't think this technology has the possibility of miniaturization. If the Mage cannot carry it around, will its significance be greatly reduced? ? Or can it only be built in a specific place such as a magic tower to provide a magic source?"

This mage's thinking is still limited to the personal and spellcasting sense. He has not seen the current trend of alchemy technology gradually spreading to industrial production, and has not seen the growing demand for ether sources. Rorschach could only shake his head secretly in his heart, but at this time he had to show a restrained and humble smile:

"As for the miniaturization and portability you proposed, I mentioned it when I introduced the technical route before. Our second technical route is to obtain a more stable and safer transmutation dust, so that it can become an excellent spell caster. Materials to power more powerful magic.”

"Okay." The questioner approved Rorschach's answer.

A mage wearing a woolen wig put down the information: "Master Kano is very confident that you can complete this project, but I still want to ask, transmutation dust is an extremely unstable and dangerous substance that can cause mutations. How can you guarantee it?" Is it safe to exploit?”

"According to our research and data records, the main reason why transmutation dust causes changes in real matter is that it contains complex and diverse divine power. This is why some scholars have previously speculated that it comes from the broken kingdom of God in the star realm."

Rorschach expected that there would be such a problem, so he took out a round hand shield for demonstration. It was not large in size, mainly to show the protective magic circle depicted on it: "We found a relatively powerful hand shield during the inspection of the elf ruins. Guardian spell, on the basis of which a constraint and protective array against divine power is developed.”

After speaking, Rorschach activated the circuits on his hand shield, condensing blue fluorescence.

"Can it resist divine power?" All the mages grasped the key point: "Master Rorschach, can you guarantee it?"

"We have already conducted experiments using transmutation dust, and it is indeed possible to resist various divine radiations without damaging the circuit and maintaining the supply of ether. As for the attack of divine magic, I have not tested it with the benefactors of the Church of Light and Order."

As soon as these words came out, the air was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere. Some mages even said that the attacks of those magic sticks could be blocked with only one level of [Shield Technique]. They were corrected by their colleagues: "To be on the safe side, you'd better do it again." Wear something thicker."

"Ahem." Master Ina stopped the diversion. She was very interested in shields. She had already recognized that the prototype of the protective circle came from Dryac's magic: "Can we test it?"

"Spells in the form of energy have a better effect. You can try it directly against the shield."

Master Ina raised her hand and crushed the crystal bottle in her hand. Seven silver stars condensed and rotated above her head, as if she was wearing a crown made of stars. The starlight is extremely bright and sharp even indoors during the day.

"Master Ina, there is no need to use this spell, right? If something happens," this spell startled the mage next to him. They had heard that the two of them seemed to have been to the secondary plane together. What's the point?

"It doesn't matter." Ina and Rorschach responded at the same time.

The star-shaped light spots rotated towards Rorschach. Rorschach raised his shield to resist. The blue fireflies circulated and fluctuated on the surface, successfully absorbing seven light spots and only emitting a small amount of light.

Every time a starlight is pierced, Liuying will consume a few points, but with Rorschach's continuous input, it will soon recover.

Sure enough, for a mage, it is better to demonstrate on the spot than to talk about the words and pictures. "The seventh-level [Crown of Stars] have all been defended!"

Originally, these rays of light would cause penetrating light burns after the starlight burst, but now the shield and the shield-holder Rorschach are completely fine. The other mages nodded in approval of the result.

"What is the core of the magic circle like?"

"How about the consumption of ether when defending just now?"

"Is there a corresponding spell? Do you need any casting materials?"

"Can it be fixed on items? Can the coverage area be expanded?"

…

What Rorschach didn't expect was that the subsequent questions would all revolve around the blue light shield. The wigged mage also hoped that he could publish a separate paper on this magic circle to the guild. Welcome to have in-depth discussions with him.

After the conclusion, the jury had to hold a small meeting, and Rorschach took his leave first.

Kano saw Rorschach and asked quickly: "How is it?"

"I always feel that I have missed the point." Luo Xiasheng was helpless.

"How could it be? I personally checked it. You won't go off script, will you? There will be no problem if you follow the script. You should be able to handle the questions. How is it possible..."

"I'm not the one who missed the point!"
