The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 365 Black Crystal Power Furnace

During the Academy War, Richard obtained research data on the Uris Black Crystal from Leikart.

Richard saw this mineral, which possessed enormous energy, as a hope for popularizing individual armor.

But in later research, Richard found that due to the death of the founder, the technology was not mature and there were huge problems in many aspects.

If he wanted to build a power reactor based solely on the information given to him by Leichhardt, it would be simply wishful thinking.

And although the Uris Black Crystal has enormous energy, it is also a troublesome process to transform this energy into a stable power source.

Although he is a third-ring wizard, his knowledge reserves are only the amount of an ordinary second-ring wizard. In addition, the owner of this research material is a wizard from the Shaper School. In order to improve and optimize it, he must have a very deep accumulation of knowledge from the Shaper School.

Therefore, Richard did not put the optimization of Yuris Black Crystal at the center of his research in recent years. He just worked with Ellie for a while and then put it aside.

But he didn't expect that Ellie was still working on this project.

No wonder Ellie borrowed some magic essence from him a while ago.

"Got it?" Richard couldn't help but smile. "This is a double blessing."

"Double Happiness?" Ellie asked doubtfully, "Your research was successful again?"

Richard chuckled and said, "That's about right. You'll be able to see it in a while."

……

The two went downstairs together and came to Ellie's laboratory.

Richard rarely came to Ellie's laboratory. When he came today, he discovered that Ellie had used metal partitions to separate a small hemispherical room in the laboratory.

There is a small window on the wall of the room, which is blocked by enchanted crystal. It should be an observation window.

The two came to the window and saw a metal table inside the room. On the metal table was a thumb-sized black crystal - the Uris Black Crystal.

As an alchemist, Richard could tell at a glance that the metal platform under the black crystal of Uris was unusual.

There are many similarities between the schools of evocation and alchemy.

The foundation of wizards lies in runes, and the energy runes of the Shamanism School are exactly the subjects that the Alchemy School cannot avoid.

This also allows both sides to understand each other's wizard research to some extent.

There are a large number of runes engraved on Ellie's metal table, and she also used a technology called multi-layer rune array stacking to engrave multiple rune arrays in different positions in three-dimensional space, thereby making the magic array three-dimensional.

Through this method, the wizard can condense a giant magic circle onto a small platform.

"You're great, Ellie. When did you learn this skill?" Richard turned his head to look at Ellie and praised with some surprise.

He also knows this technique, but using it requires a good level of alchemy and a high level of runes.

Even he can only stack five layers at present, but under Richard's energy vision, Ellie's platform has a total of twelve layers of rune arrays stacked up.

Ellie glanced at Richard and pretended to sigh, "Alas, this is not some arrogant person who gave me the information and then left it alone. I had no choice but to learn skills myself and help him improve and optimize this technology."

Richard was not embarrassed when he heard this and turned his attention back to the metal platform.

"Start it and see."

Ellie took out a crystal ball and fiddled with it for a while. Then Richard saw that the energy in the metal table began to gradually increase.

Then, an energy field burst out from the metal platform. Under the effect of this energy field, the Uris Black Crystal began to emit a dim light, and even energy flowed along the magic circuit into the energy storage rune array under the metal platform.

"Good! Great!" Richard shouted excitedly, "This is enough!"

But after the excitement, Richard suddenly thought of something, so he turned around and asked:

"Ellie, how do you deal with the decay radiation of this thing?"

Ellie smiled mysteriously, then took out another crystal ball from her pocket and tapped it.

The next moment, the metal platform stopped working and Yuris Black Crystal also calmed down.

Ellie pulled Richard aside, and the next moment, a dark gray beam of light shot out from the enchanted crystal of the observation port.

Ellie walked to the window and explained to Richard: "The decay radiation released by the Uris Black Crystal will be absorbed by the rune array in the room and stored in this enchanted crystal.

Does this thing look familiar to you? "

Richard suddenly realized, "Isn't this the principle of my evolutionary illumination device?"

What Richard called the Evolutionary Illuminator was the device that collected blue fire radiation when he was conducting experiments on strengthening cells.

Ellie's device for collecting decay radiation is exactly the same as his device.

"Hehe, it's not just the same principle." Ellie said proudly, "My rune array has been optimized. It's more efficient and consumes less energy than yours."

"Great, great." Richard praised from the bottom of his heart.

As an alchemist, his energy rune knowledge is not much worse than that of an ordinary shaper, and the fact that Ellie was able to improve the rune array based on his design can only mean that Ellie's attainments in runes are indeed much better than his.

After the demonstration, Ellie took out a thick black leather magic book from her pocket.

"This is the design of the rune array. Go back and see if you can condense it into the magic suit. If not, I will see if I can modify it."

Richard looked at the magic book, scratched his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Isn't this... a little bit inappropriate? After all, this thing was researched by you. If I take it away without paying a penny, it's a bit against the principle of equal exchange."

"Ok?"

Ellie looked at Richard in confusion.

Although she optimized this technology, she would not be able to achieve the current level without the original technology given to her by Richard. And Richard did not sign any soul contract with her. She can pass this technology to her students or others in the future.

Overall, Richard took an old technology that she had never seen before and exchanged it for an improved new technology. This is in line with the principle of equivalent exchange.

But before Ellie could argue, she heard Richard continue, "But this technology is really useful to me, and I can't not take it.

Alas, they say that only life and knowledge are priceless. I, a little wizard, cannot afford the magic essence, so it seems I can only pay it back with my life."

Listening to Richard's emphasized pronunciation and half-smile on his face, no matter how dumb Ellie was, she could tell that Richard was teasing her.

"Great! You dare to tease me even though you've become a three-ring person!" Ellie blushed and looked at Richard fiercely, "Let me tell you, I've been practicing my physique a lot during this period.

You may not win at night!"

……

With optimized technology, the road to making power reactors becomes much smoother.

Ellie's rune array is already very complete, but since there is no Forerunner No. 1 rune, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Richard spent two months optimizing the rune array twice. Compared with Ellie's version, Richard's optimized rune array has two fewer layers, which is equivalent to one-sixth fewer runes.

After the optimization was completed, Richard began to transform these rune arrays into suitable components. In the secret realm, hundreds of Salamander craftsmen also began to work overtime to design individual armor that matched the power reactor.

In order to design a suitable power reactor, Richard rushed back to the Tower of Truth from the Garon Wizard Academy and sought guidance from his senior sister Anna, who specialized in alchemical machinery.

Anna had also broken through to become a second-ring wizard in these years. Her status in the Alchemy Gear Society also rose, and her attainments in alchemy mechanics far exceeded what they had before.

Currently, she has been hired by Qiaoluo as a technical consultant for Richard Qiaoluo Chamber of Commerce, specifically responsible for the alchemy technology issues of the chamber of commerce's products.

This is not nepotism, but an affirmation of Anna's ability by Joe Lord.

Returning to the Tower of Truth and looking at the long-missed Black Wizard Tower, Richard couldn't help but smile.

He went up and rang the doorbell.

Ring ring ring…

Soon, a subhuman servant opened the door and welcomed Richard in.

Anna's appearance did not change much after she was promoted to the second ring. Compared to the first ring, her only change was the layer of active metal on her body, which now had many more golden lines.

"My good junior brother, why are you willing to come to me today?"

In the reception room, Anna, wearing a black wizard robe, sat lazily on a chair.

On that pretty face whose skin had not been transformed, there were two dark circles under the eyes, as if they were drawn with charcoal.

Although wizards are physically strong, they will suffer from physical problems if they do not rest and meditate for a long time.

"Senior sister, you have to make sure you get some rest. You look so bad." Richard stepped forward and asked with concern.

Anna waved her hand: "It's no big deal. I know my body well. Tell me about your problem. I have done a lot of work on power reactors, so I should be able to help you a little.

Even if I can't, our vice president has been in the Tower of Truth recently, and he is more knowledgeable in this area than I am.

I can’t, so I’ll take you to find him.”

Richard thanked her, "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister."

"That's no bother." Anna rubbed her eyes, sat up straight and said, "The dragon alchemy you taught me was of great help to me.

I still haven’t thanked you properly.”

After Anna became a second-ring wizard, Richard found an opportunity to teach Anna dragon alchemy.

But unexpectedly, after Anna learned dragon alchemy, she quickly integrated it into the biometal she made, and the performance of the metal increased several times.

This earned her the favor of the president of the Golden Gear Society and the opportunity to become the vice-president of the Ever-changing Gear Academy.

Richard said shyly: "That's because you are so capable, Senior Sister. I am just an initiator."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and soon got down to business.

Richard told Anna all the problems he encountered. In addition to the design problems of the power reactor, there were also many design problems with individual armor.

Anna answered most of these questions quickly.

She only had a few questions, so she consulted some old wizards in the society.

Richard solved the problems while improving the design. After three months of hard work, he finally completed the first version of the power furnace design.

He named it Anna Black Crystal Power Furnace, or Black Crystal Power Furnace for short.

"Yes, this design is already very complete. The remaining issues are just some minor details that are not serious."

Anna looked at Richard's design and nodded with satisfaction like an examiner, and Richard also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since you, Sister Anna, don't see any problems, I feel relieved."

After that, Richard put away the drawing that Anna handed back, and took out a crystal ball from his pocket.

In the crystal ball, an extremely complex rune was faintly visible.

Ana frowned slightly and said angrily: "What are you doing? Can I still take your money?"

"Hey, Sister Anna, please take a closer look at this rune." Richard said mysteriously.

Anna took the crystal ball in her hand and examined it carefully. As soon as she examined it carefully, her face suddenly became shocked.

"This is it! This is the complete Heart of the Mountain rune!"
