Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 184 Magical New Energy

"Well, based on my years of experience as a craftsman, there shouldn't be any weapons more powerful than legendary weapons at the moment."

Baines said bluntly.

Although his many years of experience as a craftsman has not been used many times in recent times, he still chooses to believe in it.

"Narrow-minded, the legendary weapons are just that, do you have any higher aspirations? When have you ever seen me use a weapon?"

It's not that Drogo is bragging, but almost no so-called legendary weapons can break his defense.

"You're a businessman, what weapons do you use?" Baines disagreed.

"Do you dare to bet? Use your best legendary weapon to chop me. If you can chop me, I will give you 100 gold coins. If you can't chop me, you give me 100 gold coins."

"No!" Baan refused immediately.

After hanging around Drogo for so long, the old dwarf has become familiar with his ways. As long as it has something to do with money, there is definitely fraud.

Drogo shook his head in disappointment. How come Barn has become so rational?

If someone is willing to keep playing this game with him, why would he want to run the Drogo Group?

If it's a brother, come and kill me!
Drogo looked back at the Ori wafer in his claws.

He was afraid that he had seen it wrong just now.

So he fanned himself with it again.

Sure enough, on that crystal, the magic power was seen flashing again.

As an ancient dragon, although he is not particularly proficient in anything related to magic, with the help of high perception, he is quite sensitive to elements, magic and so on.

Although the magic flash on the chip was very brief, he captured that moment accurately.

A tiny bit of magic power appeared from the chip like an electric spark, and then disappeared.

As long as he kept fanning, the magic sparks would continue to crackle and pop.

interesting.

It gives me a sense of déjà vu as I played with those hand-cranked flashlights when I was a kid.

Although the total amount produced is small, after fanning it so many times, it is not even enough magic to cast an illumination spell.

But it represents a possibility for creating magic.

From ancient times to the present, the consensus of all wizards is that magic power can only be generated by living beings with the ability to cast spells, by condensing elements, and will return to elemental form after release.

Therefore, all large-scale magic array projects to date have a large number of "human-shaped dry magic pools" to provide continuous energy.

Another source of magic power is the magic stone.

Magic Stone can be made by a wizard. It is simple to operate but very inefficient.

The main source is mining from nature, which is also known as the gift of the goddess of magic.

The reserves of magic stone that have been discovered so far are not sufficient, and it is optimistically estimated that they will be exhausted within a hundred years.

There is still no idea what to do with the Magic Video Game Console and other Drogo Group products.

It's impossible for all the mages in the group to do nothing but make mana stones all day long.

Even if all the mages in the continent only did this one thing, it would not be enough to meet the consumption.

Therefore, how to efficiently manufacture magic stones has always been a key research topic of the group, but unfortunately no results have been achieved yet.

Research projects are like this. They can’t be completed without setting up a project, arranging personnel, and spending money. Many investments go down the drain.

Otherwise, why do they say that the rich second generation cannot just squander all their money? If they really want to get back into poverty, they have to invest.

And now, Drogo is faced with an investment that he couldn't imagine losing money on.

He has the opportunity to master magical energy.

"How did this thing come about?" Drogo asked.

"Simon hammered it out using the dwarven forging secrets." Barn pointed at Simon who was still autistic.

The words "Secrets of Dwarven Blacksmithing" were very deliberately emphasized.

"Actually, I can hammer it out," Baine added in a low voice, "but it's hard to make it that thin."

Drogo ignored the boasting Barn and walked straight towards Simon who was squatting in the corner.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​slicing the Orly crystals?" he asked.

As a veteran collector of Ori crystal artifacts, Drogo knew very well that other forms did not have this property.

Then Simon told him a series of short stories about the inheritance between father and son and the prophecy of the sacred tree.

Drogo was stunned by what he heard.

What to hear the melody coming out of the material.

It’s so evil.

Is this the end of studying materials science? From science to metaphysics...

As for the claim that the sacred tree is “the key to the future,” that is even more dubious.

The spirit in the sacred tree already knew that this material could produce magic power?

Then explain clearly how to use it!

And he even got his father involved.

He recalled what the spirit had said before: the goddess of magic was weakened, and the network destroyed the false gods.

Who knows what these weird statements actually mean.

Riddlebird get out of Felin!
Although he really wanted to go back and figure out how to make the Ori chip produce magic stably, before that, Drogo had to cheer Simon up first.

Such a talented craftsman may come in handy at any time, so we can't give up on ourselves.

We're counting on him to hold on until the final of this season's sword-forging competition to provide ratings.

"Your intuition is correct. Today's Ori crystals are indeed great materials." Drogo said affirmatively.

"Impossible, it can't be used as a weapon."

"It's not used as a weapon. Its significance is far more important than weapons. Perhaps it can benefit hundreds of millions of lives." Drogo boasted.

"how to prove?"

"Go and finish the sword-forging competition, and you should be able to see the proof I have given you."

Doesn’t it sound like “If you succeed in this project, I’ll give you a promotion and a raise?”

Drogo was not sure he could prove it. What if the limit of the Ori Crystal was to produce magical sparks? That was hard to say.

But it didn't affect the painting. After all, Simon was a young elf and had no resistance to this.

He stood up with the help of the wall, his eyes refocused, and he said firmly: "It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!" Drogo said with false determination. "But if you're not busy, you can hammer a couple more pieces as a test."

A few minutes later, Drogo arrived at the R&D department with a stack of Ollie chips.

He didn't take the whole crystal, after all, he had plenty of whole pieces.

Also traveling with them was Flynn, who was definitely more professional in magic than Drogo.

Fulin has been leading Xiaomo's intelligent inscription system development team recently.

It is said that it is going quite smoothly and we will be able to see the first version soon.

Erlong came to Professor Moore's laboratory.

He was in charge of the project to simplify the manufacturing process of magic stones.

This macho professor who worked with the differential machine by hand was also at a loss as to what to do with this project.

However, it is not difficult to see from the fact that he worked hard on the difference engine for decades that the professor is the kind of person who will do whatever it takes to overcome difficulties.

Because of his excessive work enthusiasm, several mages who were responsible for providing spell support have been forced to voluntarily apply for transfer.

Not everyone can endure the intensity of work where problems could arise at any time 24 hours a day.

Professor Moore was sleeping on a cot when Drogo walked into the lab.

He probably wasn't being lazy, as he didn't even take off his shoes. It was probably because his biological clock was messed up, so he went to bed and woke up at random.

The other members of the laboratory also looked lifeless, concentrating on the work at hand and didn't even notice Drogo coming in.

"Cough, cough." Drogo coughed twice.

Finally someone saw the outsider and hurriedly woke up Professor Moore who was still sleeping, "Teacher, the boss is here."

Moore's sleep was very light and he woke up suddenly.

"Who's here? Our new spell consultant has arrived?"

"No, it was me," Drogo said. "How long have you been asleep?"

"Mr. Drogo?" Professor Moore rubbed his eyes and finally saw the person coming. "I won't sleep for more than half an hour, otherwise my brain will not be clear."

My goodness, Drogo was deeply shocked. At his age and with this schedule, he would not be surprised if he suddenly died in the laboratory one day.

"Not a spell advisor, I brought a possible way to generate magic." Drogo held out the Ori wafer.

Professor Moore knew what it was at a glance.

"Oli crystal? We have tested this material and have not found a way to generate magic power or make it into a magic stone," he said.

"However, such a thin sheet has not been tested. The thickness of the sheet we tested is much thicker than this one. How can such a thin sheet be made without breaking? But in theory, its thickness will not change its properties."

The professor took the chip and said after observing it for a moment.

"Like this," Drogo decided to demonstrate directly. "But do you have a way to observe subtle magic?"

The magic power generated by the chip should be difficult for ordinary people to observe.

"Yes." Professor Moore took out a magic detector and aimed it at the chip on Drogo's claw.

"There's a reading!" Perhaps the only intern who was still alert noticed the reading on the detector.

"We cannot rule out the possibility that it was Mr. Drogo's own influence. After all, they are different species." The professor was still very rigorous. "Reed, repeat the experiment."

The intern named Reed imitated Drogo's movements and flapped the chip, but the detector showed no response.

"Um……"

Professor Moore pondered for a moment.

"Hurry up, we have a lot of experiments to do now, but at least we have a direction."

He intended to control the variables and figure out what differences caused the different results.

Obviously, there are a lot of variables that need to be controlled, and the differences between humans and dragons are so great that it is difficult to find similarities.

Everyone in the laboratory took action immediately.

"Wait!" Fulin suddenly said, "Let's try a high element concentration environment first. I think it may not be a problem between humans and dragons, but a problem with the elements."

Although there is no evidence that elements are conscious, they are actually a bit "rich-minded".

The more powerful the creature, the higher the concentration of elements gathered around it will be, and Drogo is of course the highest one.

Professor Moore was stunned at first, then nodded.

“We have a ready-made environment with high element concentrations.”

The simple experimental preparations were completed, and it was Reed who still held the chip and fanned it in the new environment.

The experiment proved that Fulin was right.

Pointing at Reed's detector, the reading appeared again.

Professor Moore did not show much surprise, but continued with several different rounds of experiments.

A few hours later, a simple conclusion was reached.

Fanning is not necessary, just move the wafer so the elements can pass through;
The amount of magic generated will increase with the element concentration, chip movement speed, and chip area.

In other words, it is possible to use the Orly wafer to generate magic power, but I don't know why it has to be so thin.

To stably manufacture chips, we still need to rely on the dwarven forging secrets.

Drogo looked at the conclusion with mixed feelings.

The hint given by the Holy Tree, the secret method inherited by the dwarves from the God of Craftsmen, why are these two combinations?
It feels like it was arranged.

However, Drogo still decided to use this method to create a magic generator.

The profits here are too tempting.

The initial plan is to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy and then into magic energy.

That’s the timeless way of using energy.

Boil water.

The steam power then sets the wafer in motion.

Drogo even gave this principle a name himself.

It's called "Magic Element Sensing".
