Master Tongtian

Chapter 307 You and me under the elemental tree, the power fruit on the elemental tree! (13)

The Imperial Capital is about 3,200 meters away from the Crescent Territory, and the Golden Lake University Conference will be held for a full month.

This is a long-term wisdom conference with huge influence that can significantly affect the future destiny of the Golden Land.

Since he plans to promote his floating city in the society, he must be fully prepared.

In addition, the affairs of the territory must be well arranged while he is away.

Therefore, after Rosen briefly experienced the joy of high-level twelve-star achievement, he turned around and devoted himself to the busy preparation work.

About three days later, an elemental apprentice brought him good news.

"Lord, the instructor said that he wants to show you a brand new basic element, a fantastic, fascinating, and elusive dream elf."

What else is there to say?

Rosen immediately put down all the work in his hands and rushed to the element laboratory.

When he arrived at the laboratory, he found Phoebe already waiting for him.

There was a hint of drunken excitement on his face. After seeing Rosen, he lightly patted the large wooden box on the table behind him.

"Baron, I bet you will be more excited than me when you get to know this magical little guy!"

Rosen was also looking forward to it, but he just smiled: "Show it to me."

Phoebe opened the wooden box and took out a piece of strange goose-yellow metal that was three centimeters in diameter and 20 centimeters long.

"I call it 'Titanium' because the pure essence of this base element is an incredibly strong metal."

"At the same time, its content is very rare, and its rich ore should not be found in nature. I spent 2,000 diras of iron ore slag to get such a small stick."

"It's several times stronger than pig iron and can even leave marks on glass."

While he was talking, he took out a piece of ordinary glass, scratched it hard with a stick, and a layer of white glass powder was scraped off.

Rosen sincerely praised: "It is indeed very hard."

Generally, when an iron tool is scratched on glass, no trace will be left.

Phoebe continued: "But what's really fascinating is its magical properties, a wonderful ability that only extraordinary people can possess."

Rosen immediately guessed a possibility, and his heart beat faster.

I saw Phoebe carefully picking up the goose-yellow metal rod and placing his left and right index fingers against both ends.

"Baron, pay attention, my mana will flow out of my left finger and flow in from my right finger, forming a mana cycle."

After saying that, Phoebe began to release his magic power.

As the mana flowed, Rosen discovered that hoarfrost quickly climbed up on the surface of the metal rod. The hoarfrost became thicker and thicker, so much so that the temperature of the surrounding air dropped slightly.

"During this period, I poured ten percent of my mana into the stick, and the mana that finally flowed back was only reduced by less than one thousandth."

In the Elemental Laboratory, one mana is equal to one percent of the mana consumption of a standard missile spell.

Rosen made some calculations: "Even the best-conducting Star Meteor Eternal Gold is far from this level, or even an order of magnitude worse."

"Yes, but the nature of this extraordinary conductivity performance is completely different from other metals."

Phoebe lit up an alcohol lamp and placed the metal rod next to the fireworks to heat it.

After the white frost on the surface melted away, he continued: "I will transfer mana again."

Rosen watched carefully.

The moment the mana began to flow, the alcohol lamp flame became much dimmer, the brightness and heat were greatly reduced, and it seemed that it would be extinguished in the next moment.

Rosen immediately said: "The power of the flame has been absorbed?"

"That's right. The result is that for every part of my mana that flows out, nearly six small parts flow back into my body."

Rosen was shocked: "Fire into mana!"

The essence of the ability released by flames is electromagnetic waves, so the essence of this matter is photochemical mana!

Is he too lucky?

I just wanted to find the secret method of photochemical mana, but was directly solved by a basic element.

It felt very unreal, like in a dream.

But when I thought about it again, it seemed reasonable.

Because in his view, the foundation of the world is matter, and the main body of matter is the basic element.

The basic elements make up all life, including extraordinary life.

Then, the essence of the ability of extraordinary life also comes from a certain substance.

His good luck was that he found this substance right away.

This situation usually only occurs in the early stages of an explosion of knowledge.

Because at this time, everyone is ignorant about the methods of acquiring new knowledge.

The fruits of the knowledge orchard have basically not been picked yet.

There are sweet, low-hanging fruits everywhere, available to anyone with a bright eye and a raised hand.

And now, Phoebe may have picked the power fruit from the elemental tree!

But things don't seem that simple.

There was a wry smile on Phoebe's face: "Baron, don't be too quick to be happy. Soon you will be in the same trouble as me."

He said: "Baron, you release a breath of fire that wraps around the metal rod."

Rosen complied.

When the lavender flames wrapped around the metal rod, Fibbit began to flow mana again.

Rosen immediately discovered that his mana was attracted by some strange attraction. It escaped from his control and quickly poured into the metal rod.

Then, the lavender flame simulated by the mana suddenly cooled down to dark blue.

"Baron, I am already running my mana at full capacity, but the speed of converting mana has reached a certain extreme. No matter what I do, the speed of mana absorption will not increase."

Rosen understood: "The upper limit of mana conversion is extremely low."

"Yes, it's sad."

He nodded towards the metal rod in his hand.

"This big treasure can only convert up to six mana per second."

"When you use one part of your mana to guide it, the conversion efficiency is as high as 600%. One part of your mana you input can turn into seven parts and flow out."

"But if you use two mana, it immediately exceeds its conversion limit, and the mana flowing out is only eight, which is still only six more."

"Then, it will never run automatically. It must be guided by a mage at all times."

"In the end, it seems that the increased mana can only be used to restore the mage's mana, but it cannot increase the mana limit, which means it cannot replace meditation."

Rosen understood that such performance was far from his requirements, even to the point of being unapplicable.

At first glance, you can see that there is six mana per second, and there is still a mage to guide it all the time. It is simply like exchanging a pound of gold for a pound of shit. It is extremely stupid.

But that’s not how things work out.

In everything, you must first solve the problem of whether it is good or not before you can continue to consider whether it is good or not.

Rosen immediately entered a state of concentration.

“So, is there a way to increase the maximum conversion volume?”

Obviously, the maximum conversion volume must reach a certain level before there is room for application.

Phoebe nodded.

"After preliminary research, we found that the maximum conversion efficiency remains at 600% and cannot be improved. However, the wider the cross-section of the round rod, the greater the amount of mana conversion."

"Does it have nothing to do with length?"

"The length only affects the additional loss of mana transmission, and has little effect on the maximum conversion amount."

It was a bit confusing, but Rosen understood it.

"Any more?"

"No more. The time is too short and it hasn't been done yet."

“Then does the maximum conversion amount show a simple linear relationship as the cross-section increases, or is it another relationship?”

Phoebe shook his head: "Not sure yet. Why not start now?"

Rosen immediately said: "Okay, let's start."

Because the cross-sectional area can affect the amount of mana conversion, we will study this first.

The two worked from noon to late at night, and finally came to a very strange conclusion.

Phoebe looked at the relationship curve and was speechless.

"Is it a mistake?"

This relationship curve is like a ghost painting.

Big shocks are mixed with countless small shocks, sometimes in direct proportion and sometimes inversely proportional.

At first glance, there seems to be some pattern, but if you look carefully, you can't summarize it, and it's very confusing.

Phoebit spread his hands helplessly: "This is too abominable. Why not rename it Titan Iron?"

Rosen said nothing.

He stood beside the graph, with one hand across his chest and the other holding his chin, and fell into deep thought.

After looking at it, I suddenly had an idea. I immediately immersed myself in the magic virtual machine, programmed a model, threw it into the computing core and started running.

Run one and find that the curve is not consistent with reality. Make fine adjustments immediately and run again.

After that, he kept running the model, but in the eyes of others, he was as motionless as a sculpture.

It was one o'clock in the morning in the blink of an eye, and Fitbit couldn't stand it any longer and couldn't bear to rest.

Because he was very curious and wanted to see if Rosen could use his unparalleled mathematical ability to see through the rules.

So, I simply made a bunk on the floor and slept directly in the laboratory.

On the other side, as the model is improved over and over again, the parameters are corrected over and over again.

When a cock crow came from the sky, Rosen obtained a rather beautiful system of nonlinear multidimensional flow equations.

This thing is no simpler than the generalized field equations.

According to this system of equations, when the Titanium Iron takes the shape of a round rod, the relationship between the maximum conversion amount and the cross-section is such a "ghost painting".

The calculated curve and the actual curve fit perfectly.

Rosen wasn't really making a guess, it was the result of careful analysis.

Because the metal round rod is a simple metal element, the microstructure is a simple and regularly stacked homogeneous metal crystal, and the only variable is the cross section.

The rules must be relatively simple and cannot appear so complicated.

Then, this complexity must come from the mana itself, that is, the rules of mana operation.

To be more precise, it is Rosen's high-level mana rules.

Mana rules are very complex and multi-dimensional. A large amount of information is compressed into a two-dimensional coordinate system, which naturally makes it very confusing.

Of course, if there is no super computing power in the computing core as an aid, it is estimated that it will take a hundred years to calculate by relying on the human brain.

It may not be correct yet.

In short, Rosen relied on super computing power to calculate the conversion rules of this Titan Iron.

But whether it is correct or not, we have to design the optimal form of Titanium Iron according to the rules described by the system of equations.

If the final experimental results still agree well, then there is basically no big problem.

There was a gold-melting crucible in the element laboratory. Rosen stayed up all night, but he didn't feel tired at all.

Supported by a strong curiosity, and with a 12-star spellcasting ability, he independently melted the Titan Iron into the optimal shape calculated.

This shape is very complex and precise, resembling a multi-layered ellipsoid.

In short, if you don't understand, you will never be able to create such a thing based on your imagination.

Even if the appearance is similar, the essence cannot be obtained.

Because of the complexity of mana rules, even a slight error may lead to chaotic mutations in the final function.

From ‘excellent’ to ‘extremely poor’.

Just as he was preparing for the experimental test, Phoebe's voice came from behind: "Baron, why is it in this shape?"

When he woke up and saw the precision hollow ellipsoid, he immediately smelled the smell of a law.

But he didn't know what the specific rules were.

Rosen answered the question incorrectly.

"Titan Iron is really an excellent gift from the Creator to mortals. It not only has natural toughness, but also has a strange memory effect that can resist deformation caused by external forces."

As he spoke, Rosen held the metal ellipsoid in both hands, spread his five fingers, and pressed on the calculated special mana contact point.

"Sir, please release the breath of fire into the center circle."

"Pay attention, it's just a ring, try your best not to let any power leak out."

Phoebe immediately obeyed.

When the blue-white mana flame wrapped around the metal ring in the center, Rosen began to use his mana.

The next moment, the blue and white flames disappeared without a trace.

The maximum conversion volume has been significantly improved.

Rosen had an idea and gave himself and Phoebe a high-level thorn shield.

"You haven't reached the limit yet, use low-level flame breath."

Phoebe did as he was told.

As a result, low-level spells were also extinguished.

Phoebe is also very wild at heart. With the help of magic to protect his body, he immediately changed into a high-level fire dragon breath with low dexterity.

Dark blue high-intensity flames sprayed on the metal ring.

Rosen also used all his magic power, and immediately felt that the mana he consumed for casting the spell was increasing at a violent speed, and at the same time, the dark blue flame suddenly turned into dark red.

Almost extinguished.

“It’s reached its limit.

"Under the harsh preset conditions, the maximum conversion amount is the amount of mana of a standard high-level spell per second, and the conversion efficiency is 850%."

In other words, Rosen can use a low-level high-level spell to activate a high-level spell.

Phoebe's scalp was a little fried when he heard it. He couldn't figure out why there was such a qualitative leap.

He looked at the hollow ellipsoid in disbelief and asked the original question again.

"Baron, why do you look so strange?"

Rosen took out his pen and paper and wrote down the flow equations he guessed.

"I figured it out all night long."

Phoebe glanced at the manuscript paper and was dazzled by the various symbols on it.

He is a very good experimental mage with strong practical skills, but his mathematical skills are a mess. When he first came here, he was only slightly better than the four arithmetic operations.

Although I have learned flow mathematics now, it is only an introduction.

So when I saw such a complicated system of equations, I felt the blood vessels in my forehead pulsing.

He asked with difficulty: "How... how do you calculate it?"

After asking, I realized that I had asked a stupid question.

Rosen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Sir, are you sure you want to listen to my explanation?"

"Forget it, this is not my area of ​​expertise. As long as you know how to do it."

To figure this out, he felt like he might have to lose ten years of his life.

Rosen said: "This conversion ellipsoid is already available."

"According to my calculations, as long as the scale is tripled and its shape is adjusted, the maximum conversion capacity can be increased to five high-level spells per second. But the price is that the conversion efficiency is reduced to about 620%."

In other words, they successfully picked the power fruit from the elemental tree!

It's nice, but Titanium seems to be very difficult to get.

Phoebit asked: "Baron, what are you going to do with it?"

"Being the core of strength of high-speed suspension vehicles."

"But this thing is just a transformation of power, it cannot be generated out of thin air."

"Does the baron plan to burn a stove in the hovercar? Or should it be exposed to the sun?"

He grasps the power of the environment very accurately, but he feels that neither of them is easy to use, and it may not be able to provide enough power.

Rosen smiled slightly: "In fact, I know a spell called 'Light of Heaven', which can attract sunlight extremely well."

"I plan to bring in a large area of ​​sunlight and use a lens group to focus on the core of power. Well, but how much is needed and how to design the optimal structure all need to be carefully calculated."

"Sir, anyway, please help me get as much Titanium as possible first, and then I can build a floating car. No, it should be called a miniature floating city."

"I will drive it to the imperial capital and let everyone know our wishes."

Phoebe immediately said: "Okay, give me the Titan Iron!"

Rosen was in no hurry to leave.

"Sir, I also need a material that is highly malleable before petrification and becomes very tough and light after petrification. Of course, it would be better to be cheaper."

"Do you have any recommendations?"

Phoebe thought about it carefully and found something from the materials in his collection.

"An alloy of fine gold and iron. Just add 5% fine gold into wrought iron. The wrought iron will foam like fermented flour, expand four to five times, and become as soft as mud. Ordinary low-level A samurai can squeeze this alloy with his hands like mud.”

"So, I also call it a bread iron."

"After using your high-level petrification on this bread iron, it immediately becomes very hard, probably reaching 70% of the strength of Titan Iron."

"As for the price, fine gold costs 100 crowns per dira, and the current price of wrought iron should be 5 crowns per dira. If you get a 1,000 dira bread iron, you can make the carriage of an ordinary carriage. The price is less than 1,000 Crown.”

"Hmm~ It's really good stuff."

Rosen plans to use this bread iron to build the body of his hover car.

"So, is there anything else I need to buy from other places?"

Phoebe immediately said: "Of course."

"I heard that there is an iron smelting plant on the shore of the Great Golden Lake, and all the slag produced in it is used to pave roads."

"This is a huge waste!"

"Please help me buy the slag. The more, the better."

"The slag may indeed contain good things. Well, I will have people collect the slag from the smelting sites in various places and transport them all here."

Phoebe chuckled: "Okay, okay, the more, the better~ There is no limit!"

Rosen left the Element Laboratory, turned around, and entered the nearby Life Laboratory. After finding Vivian, he asked the same question.

"What do you want me to bring for you in the imperial capital?"

Vivian thought about it carefully and then said: "There is a great alchemist named Nailofa in the imperial capital. If you can get his alchemy notes for me to look at, I will be satisfied."

Rosen spread his hands: "This is really a difficult problem, but I'll take care of it."

Vivian happily gave Rosen a kiss: "My dear, you are much more capable than my brother, so I'm waiting for your good news~"

After leaving the Life Laboratory, Rosen returned to the Lord's Castle. He first drew up a list for his attendants to collect materials for making a hover car, and then handled some government affairs before returning to the backyard.

For a while, Rosen focused on building high-speed suspension vehicles.

The principles are all there, and the specific design is helped by the computing core, and it can be done quickly.

In addition to some shortcomings of Titan Iron, other materials are cheap, the difficulty of making is low, and there are many helpers for refining, so the progress is very fast.

It was done in less than twenty days. I thought I could set off directly, but unexpected news came out.

Master Sophia fell ill. It was either a serious illness or an ordinary cold.

Although Wei Na treated her in time, she was old and still very weak.

In such a situation, it is obviously not suitable for a long trip.

When visiting the patient, he saw Master Sophia lying on the hospital bed, her weak face full of apologies.

"Rosen, I can only let you go to the imperial capital alone, but I saw your hover car and it's very fast. As long as you go at full speed, no one can catch you."

"You should be safe on the road. When you get to the imperial capital, just go to Bren and he will take care of you."

What else could Rosen say? He just nodded: "Okay, Master, I will do it."

"I apologize to His Majesty on my behalf. If he wants to see me, you can draw a portrait of me for him. When you come back, also draw a portrait of His Majesty for me."

"OK."

"Then go ahead. Don't worry about the territory, I will keep an eye on it for you."

Rosen thought the same thing. With the master here, he would have no worries. He carefully told her about the situation of the ice dwarves and the worries about possible invasion, as well as his own strategy.

Sophia listened carefully, then nodded: "I've got it, just leave it to me."

"You have to be careful when you go to the imperial capital, because all famous mages will be invited, and so will the Archmage Holunnier. Don't conflict with him unless you have to."

"OK."

After everything was explained, Rosen left Sophia's room to make final preparations for the trip.

After a while, Thrandis came over to chat with Sophia.

"Master, how is your health?"

Sophia blinked: "I'm in very good health."

Thrandis was surprised: "Huh?"

Sophia "shushed": "The master's logic skills are finally starting to catch on, and I really don't want to stop halfway."

"Besides, I'm so old and I've been cursed by the soul. If I stay in one place, my health will be fine. If I run around, I'll really get sick."

She knows the bed very well. She just came to Crescent Town and didn't sleep well for a week. Now she has finally gotten used to it, and she doesn't want to have to deal with it again.

Thrandis understood immediately: "Okay then."

On the other side, Rosen also felt that things were a bit strange and vaguely guessed something, but he would not tell the truth after seeing through it.

Since the master is different, considering the high speed of the hover car, and considering that the imperial capital is a place truly blessed by the gods, he simply didn't bring any guards.

He only took the items he had prepared in advance to display at the university conference and some simple luggage, and headed off alone.

Today's update is a bit late, it took me a long time to complete it.
