Volume 19 Chapter 137 The Precious Book
Because they saw that I, who rarely get angry, actually got angry, the researchers didn't dare to talk back or anything. They all got up as quickly as possible, sorted out their things, and then started doing their own work.
There was such a big movement on our side this time, so it was impossible for the surrounding research units to miss it. Soon a group of guards from the floating island came over and asked what was going on. In addition to leaving one person to go back and call for help, I also kept the team of people who came to inquire about the situation to help clean up the scene.
The current experimental area has basically turned into a vast ocean. Although the fountain did not work for a long time, the amount of water it produced was really scary. In just a short time, the experimental area we were in became a vast ocean. It became a big pond, and the water level in some low-lying places was even waist-deep. If our attack had been slower for a while, the water level might have risen to chest height.
Because there were so many people and the water itself was flowing, it didn’t take long to clean up the scene. After the water flowed away, we checked all the equipment on site and continued to use the good ones. If they were not usable, we directly replaced them with new ones. Anyway, we wanted to restore the working condition of the experimental site as soon as possible.
After finally organizing the experimental area, the first thing I did was not to let people study the metal book that seemed to be the "Book of Energy", but to focus on the extracted magic circle fragment.
"Are you sure this magic circle is not dangerous?" I asked the researcher responsible for carving the magic circle with lingering fear. In order to verify whether the previous fountain went berserk due to a problem with the energy circuit we replaced, we re-carved a magic circle this time and replaced it with the newly extracted energy circuit. Of course, this new magic circle cannot be the previous one. I don’t want to flood the golden mountain again.
This time the person in charge of carving the magic circle was a younger researcher than the previous one. Although I didn't intend to punish the previous guy, he has already suffered his retribution. Because the water jet hit him when the fountain turned, he was unfortunately swept away, and the landing position was not ideal. He actually fell on a very solid metal piece, and almost lost his brain. He came out. Fortunately, the rescue was timely and he didn't die, but he didn't expect to come back to work in a short time.
The new person in charge explained to me: "This magic circle is different from the previous one. This magic circle does not release physical substances. Its main function is to generate heat, and the carving base we use is a piece of wood, so if it is different from the previous one, If the fountain is overloaded, the high temperature will first ignite the wooden boards, and then the magic circle will automatically stop working due to structural damage, so as long as the initial protection work is done well, there won't be much of a problem. Besides, the area has just been soaked in water. , in such a humid place, even if it deflagrates, it probably won't be able to ignite anything. Besides, this thing won't fly around like the fountain magic circle. If it doesn't work, just destroy it."
I nodded and said, "I will ask Everett and Xiaofeng to stay by and destroy the magic circle as soon as possible if something goes wrong."
Facts have proved that my double insurance was not wasted at all. One of Everit and Xiaofeng is the king of fire elves, and the other is the phoenix. The flame only makes them stronger and cannot cause any harm to them. However, that magic is not just as simple as making fire. Originally, according to the normal design, such a magic circle would only form a small two-inch-high flame on it, which was perfect for cooking and should be regarded as having no lethality at all. However, in this experiment, the magic circle obviously went berserk again. At the moment when the magic circle was activated, a huge fireball suddenly erupted from the magic circle that was supposed to raise a small flame two inches high, and then The entire fireball exploded in the next second, destroying the magic circle and spraying out a large rain of fire. If Everett and Xiaofeng had not used their extraction abilities in time to absorb all the nearby fire elements, It is estimated that the floating island that has just suffered from flooding will have another fire.
The guy who had promised me absolute safety before was now smoked like an African refugee. The guy ran up to me with a still-smoking chicken coop on his head, and then explained to me seriously: "President, after Instrument calculation results showed that the magic circle just erupted with an energy of more than three thousand times the rated power, so the original flames turned into fireballs. As for the subsequent explosion, it should be that the high temperature melted the magic circuits, causing the magic circle to become disordered. 'Chaos', that's why the explosion happened."
"You mean that energy circuit can produce more than three thousand times the energy output?" I directly grasped the key point of this sentence. If this guy's answer is "yes", then our guild will be developed in the future. You must know that this magic circuit is actually only slightly different from the one our guild is using. Since we can produce ordinary magic arrays, of course we can also produce magic arrays equipped with new energy-gathering magic structures. Once If it is replaced, even a very ordinary magic circle will have amazing effects. Three thousand times the output! How much can this do?
I was dreaming there, and suddenly I heard the guy say: "The new magic circuit can indeed provide more than three thousand times the output, in fact it is more than that. The magic array disk just used is just the most basic hardwood, without any guide magic structure, and in order to prevent it from erupting, we also covered the magic array with metal plates that would affect the power of the magic array. As a result, the energy still exploded three thousand times. If we use better special materials for the magic array as the base We use advanced magic materials to draw a seismic map, add mithril to strengthen the magic power, and inlay gems as magic nodes. In the end, the magic circle we get may output 10,000 to 12,000 times more energy. Of course, this number is only an estimate and has not been tested, but I believe it is reliable. However, although this number is relatively large, it may not have such a large actual effect in actual use."
"Why?" I asked in surprise.
The researcher answered seriously: "First of all, it's a matter of materials. The magic-guiding ability of magic materials is limited. If the magic flowing in the magic-guiding circuit exceeds the limit, we call this situation overload. In this state The magic guide line will continue to radiate magic energy to the surroundings. Of course, this only causes a part of the power loss. The real trouble is that excessive magic energy passing through the wire may cause the properties of the wire itself to change, and ultimately The wire will completely lose its ability to guide magic and explode due to the accumulation of magic power."
"You mean the magic circle might not be able to hold on, right?"
"Yes, our magic array can generally only allow five to six times the excess output, and the time cannot be too long. Whether it is more than three thousand times or more than ten thousand times, this output is obviously beyond the magic array produced by our guild. The output range is over. If used for a long time, the magic circle may burn out quickly."
“Can’t we use high-carrying lines?”
"Although the high-carrying lines used in large and powerful magic arrays can work for a long time under the super output of this super energy module, the cost of the lines themselves is not low. If high-carrying lines are used, it means The overall cost of the magic array will increase significantly. Except for some special magic arrays that are worthy of replacing this power module, I suggest that it is best to maintain the existing system. At most, we can slightly strengthen the guild by referring to the results of this magic array. As for the energy gathering speed of other magic arrays, as for this complete version, I think it is just right to be used in urban protection magic arrays or urban power systems, so that our guild's consumption of magic crystal energy can be greatly reduced. Now many weapons in our guild have begun to use liquefied magic crystal steam as explosives, and with the advancement of technology in the future, the consumption in this area may become larger and larger. If magic crystals are still used as energy sources , that consumption is too exaggerated.”
I nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. Once the output performance of this magic circle is clear, you will immediately start replacing the city's energy system and replace all the original magic crystal power equipment with this equipment." .”
"Please wait a moment, President." The researcher interrupted me: "Before making a decision, you'd better listen to another reason why this kind of magic circle cannot be popularized." After hearing what this guy said, I remembered He said there were two reasons before, but now he has listened to one, and it is time to listen to the second one first. After I nodded, the researcher began to introduce: "The reason why I say that this magic structure cannot completely replace our existing magic circle energy circuit is that the magic energy in space is limited. "
Hearing this sentence, I suddenly understood why he didn't let me completely replace this magical energy. Here is the key issue. This kind of magic energy circuit is actually the same as the one our guild is using in terms of basic functions. Their only function is to absorb the magic energy free in the surrounding space and then convert it into usable magic energy. Used for magic circles. The two energy circuits have exactly the same function in converting energy. The only difference is the conversion speed. However, the conversion speed is not entirely based on the structure of the magic energy circuit.
We can think of this energy circuit as a solar panel. Our guild uses old, outdated solar panels with a very low conversion rate, but the newly acquired one is a newly developed conversion device that can achieve almost 100% conversion. However, no matter how high the conversion rate of this converter is, the sun's rays will not focus on you just because your conversion rate is high. Therefore, the maximum output of solar panels can actually only be infinitely close to the intensity of solar radiation. It is simply impossible to exceed the intensity of solar radiation. In the same way, the magic energy conversion circuit absorbs the free magic energy in space, but the problem is that the surrounding free magic energy is not infinite. They are just like air. After being sucked out, the nearby magic energy will be replenished, but this replenishment takes time. Therefore, if one or two magic energy absorption devices are working, there may be no response. Once the number increases and is relatively concentrated, there will be a phenomenon that the surrounding magic energy will not be replenished in time, and then the output of the entire magic array will be reduced. Follow the descent. This is undoubtedly a very dangerous situation.
Some people may think that even if the energy output of the magic circle decreases, it is nothing more than a reduction in power. It is always more powerful than the old-fashioned magic circle, right?
The answer is: wrong. And it couldn't be more wrong.
The energy module of the magic array is equivalent to the engine of a car. If you want a car to be able to pull more cargo, then you not only need to increase the power of the engine, but also have a larger body and a stronger load-bearing structure, but these things all require power. Our guild's original small magic circle was equivalent to an agricultural tricycle. Although it had low horsepower, at least it could run. Now that we have obtained the new magic array energy module, it is equivalent to getting a high-power engine. In order to use this engine, we have to correspondingly amplify the capabilities of other components. The final product is equivalent to a large-scale A super truck with a load capacity of 500 tons used in open-pit mines. However, although these trucks are indeed much more capable than agricultural tricycles under normal circumstances, once the power drops, the new engine may not even be able to drive the vehicle itself. At that time, it will not be a problem of power drop, but a direct strike of the magic circle. .
It is precisely because of these characteristics of the magic array that we cannot completely replace the magic array. At most, we can only replace some key equipment. In this way, we can make the most of this new type of equipment by staggering the energy consumption distribution of various equipment. Energy devices. Blind comprehensive replacement is definitely a thankless and thankless thing that wastes people and money.
"What you said makes sense. It seems that we really can't use it casually. The specific equipment that can be replaced and which cannot be replaced needs to be discussed with the guild staff. But I think you can at least put the Mobile Angel first. Replace the energy device.”
Energy devices have always been the biggest obstacle restricting the development of constructed creatures. I think when our guild designed the first type of golem, the golems at that time used super precious colorful magic crystals as power sources. At that time, we actually also had a magic array energy module, but until now, the energy provided by our energy module is still very small. If the golem is regarded as a robot that uses electricity, then the energy module made by our guild that automatically collects free energy is at most equivalent to the small solar panel on a solar calculator. With such a small amount of energy, even a toy car can be driven. No, let alone a huge golem. So we had to install priceless colorful magic crystals as the power core for the golem. After all, the output of that thing is strong enough. But now we don't have to worry. This new type of energy module can definitely drive the body of the Mobile Angel. Although there may be insufficient energy supply when the Mobile Angel cluster appears, this problem is actually easy to solve, as long as the current 'liquefied' magic crystal of the Mobile Angel is retained. A steam powered core will do the trick. Two sets of energy devices exist at the same time, based on the self-charging magic array. When the energy is insufficient or the magic array is damaged, the liquefied magic crystal steam power core will make up the difference or completely replace the magic array. With these two sets of equipment, the battery life of the Mobile Angel can definitely be greatly improved, and because there are two sets of equipment, we can completely equip the Mobile Angel with a smaller liquefied magic crystal steam fuel tank, which saves space Not only can you put the self-charging magic circle inside, but you can also consider decorating it with other things.
In any case, the uses of this magic circuit are quite extensive, and this kind of one-time investment and long-term output is definitely a good thing that everyone likes. However, although this magic circle module is so precious, it is only a part of the book. I really want to know what the effect will be if all the magic circle structures in the book are analyzed.
Although I really want to know all the secrets in the book, it seems that this is impossible to do in a short time. Even if the existing magic circle is comparatively analyzed, it will take a long time to identify a small part of the magic structure. As for the complete analysis Coming out is extremely labor-intensive. Of course, according to the system settings, if our guild is willing to throw in one billion or eighty billion, we will probably be able to produce results quickly, but I don't think Rose will agree to do that.
Since the research results will not be available for a while, I simply arranged the work here and then left the New World Research Base again and directly arrived at Tianyu City through Essinger's transnational teleportation array.
According to the marks on the map, the second book is located on the European continent. However, although it is far away from Essinger, this point is not far from Tianyu City, which is exactly the second target. According to previous experience, since the first book has such great power, this second book should not be any worse. To be honest, my interest in those three books has far exceeded my interest in upgrading the library. According to me, the value of the information recorded in those three books has almost reached the top half of the library, so those three books Even if I get them back, I won't turn in the mission until all the analysis of the book is completed, lest I be in trouble if the library is upgraded and the book is used up and I can't study it.
According to the coordinate points on the map, I entered France directly. However, because Germany and France have been at war, and our guild is an ally of the Iron Cross, the largest guild in Germany, I am basically considered a hostile force in France. personnel. For this reason, the necessary disguise was necessary, especially when I saw the location of the book.
"Damn it, why is that coordinate point exactly in the city?" When I saw the city in front of me, I couldn't help but check the map again. In the end, I had no choice but to confirm that the coordinate point was really in the city. . If it were in China or Germany, I would have liked the coordinate point to be in the city. Because this means that I have more NPCs that I can use to get information, but this is France. In my current status, even if I am disguised, it is definitely not a good idea to wander around in this place. Just hope you don't run into boring players wandering around with their reconnaissance skills!
