The wizard era begins with the alchemist wizard

Chapter 430 Annihilation Bomb
"How did you know about the Wizarding World Ecological Restoration Plan?"

The Great Wizard of Bronze Spear had a somewhat surprised expression on his face. This plan had been in preparation since it was proposed that year.

After so many years, almost no one remembers this plan except the wizard who made the plan and the relevant staff.

It is too long, so long that the staff have to be replaced due to old age and death.

Richard answered truthfully: "I have had some exchanges with the magic dwarves in the World Mirror, and they also entrusted me to bring some magic dwarves back to the wizarding world."

"Then how did you guess that this plan would be carried out?"

Richard was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't guess that this plan would be implemented? However, the Bronze Spear Wizard's words reminded Richard of something that happened before.

"Because the concentration of magic power in the wizarding world has dropped again." He said confidently.

A glimmer of approval flashed in the eyes of the Great Wizard of Bronze Spear. This little wizard's insight was indeed outstanding.

Although wisdom cannot be quantified, the ability to analyze information can serve as a substitute for wisdom.

If a wizard is good at collecting and analyzing information, then his wisdom must be high.

Since the Parliament of Truth has formulated an ecological restoration plan for the wizarding world, it means that the Parliament of Truth is indeed restoring the wizarding world.

But in this case, the energy concentration of the wizarding world has also decreased.

As an outsider, there are only three possibilities that I can think of.

Either the Truth Council has already launched the plan but failed; or the current situation is the result of the Truth Council's manipulation. Or, the plan has been in the preparation stage and has not yet been implemented.

The possibilities of the latter two are significantly greater than the first possibility.

Of course, Richard didn't think about this. He just used common sense to estimate that a war was about to break out, and if the world wasn't repaired, it would be troublesome if the war broke out in the future.

It takes a long time to train a qualified wizard.

"Your speculation is correct. The current situation is the result of the parliament's manipulation." The Bronze Spear Wizard said with a hint of praise, "If nothing unexpected happens, the wizarding world will usher in the end of the law in a thousand years.

By then, the concentration of magic power in the entire wizarding world will drop to a negligible level, and the origin of the world will fall into dormancy.

Parliament estimates that this stage will last about a hundred years.

After this hundred years, the tide of magic will return to the wizarding world. And the wizarding world will gradually return to the way it was before the War of Enlightenment."

Richard was shocked when he heard this: "Wouldn't it be awkward to start a civilization war at this point in time?"

The war is about to start, but it’s okay if the barracks have to be closed.

"This is fate. No one expected that a war of civilizations would break out at this time." The Great Wizard of Bronze Spear sighed.

After that, he changed the subject and started talking about Richard.

"If nothing unexpected happens in this war, the alchemists will shine. I heard from Garlon that you have developed a magic support vehicle."

"Yes, my lord."

The Bronze Spear Wizard nodded and said, "I think your ability is quite good. I have some strategic-level magic armor blueprints whose creators are already dead.

You can take it back and have a look to see if it can reduce the cost or give you some inspiration.

Of course, these things cannot be spread outside. It is also best not to let outsiders know about this matter."

As he spoke, he took out a crystal ball from his pocket and handed it to Richard.

Richard was a little stunned. Is this the resource of the Minister of Military Affairs? The blueprint of the strategic-level magic suit is given to him just by asking.

The effect of his boasting was too good.

"Thank you, sir!"

Richard, who had recovered from his surprise, quickly performed a wizard salute with an expression of uncontrollable ecstasy on his face.

The Great Wizard of Bronze Spear smiled and patted Richard on the shoulder.

"It's just a gadget. There's no point keeping those drawings with me. They can still be useful to you.

Go back and do more research, and try to come up with something good."

After saying this, the Great Wizard of Bronze Spear flickered his finger, and Richard disappeared in the parliament.

……

In the palace complex, three-ring wizards were communicating, and from time to time they would argue over some issue until their faces turned red.

Suddenly, Richard's figure teleported into the center of the hall, attracting the attention of the three-ring wizards inside the palace.

Richard returned to the palace complex, smiled at everyone around him, and then left the palace.

He now couldn't wait to see the strategic-level magic armor blueprint given to him by the Great Wizard of Bronze Spear.

After leaving the palace, Richard found a secluded place, took out the crystal ball, and used his mental power to receive the contents inside.

Richard closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, a hint of joy appeared on his brows.

"They are all good things."

The Parliament of Truth has a vague definition of strategic-level magic equipment, but it can be roughly divided into two standards.

First, it is extremely powerful and has the potential for mass production.

Second, it has a wide range of applications. From logistics to the front lines, this magic suit can have remarkable effects.

If one of these two criteria is met, it is enough to become a strategic-level magic suit. As for the cost-effectiveness... that kind of thing would be best, but it would not be a big deal if it is not available.

At the beginning, Richard's annihilation bullet reached the edge of the first line. Because that simple structure, if slightly enlarged, its power can exceed the limit of a first-ring wizard's spellcasting, and because of its simple structure, mass production is not a problem.

However, the annihilation bomb only reached the edge.

When he took this thing to the Tower of Truth to register, it was rated level five, the lowest level of strategic magic equipment.

The purchase price of knowledge is only five hundred magic essences.

At that time, Richard was thinking about reducing the cost of this thing and then doing another rating, but later, as things got busy, he forgot about this matter.

His strength grew too fast, and the annihilation bomb couldn't even blow up his dragon scales. But now, he had an idea for improvement.

In the design drawings given to him by the Great Wizard of Bronze Spear, there happened to be a weapon related to the annihilation reaction of water and fire elements.

This weapon is called the Annihilation Bomb, and its efficiency in compressing water and fire elements is far superior to his own method. If this compression method is used, and then the Dragon Alchemy is used to modify the Annihilation Bomb...

Richard unconsciously smiled, but soon the smile disappeared.

Instead, there was a slight frown on his brow.

He suddenly realized that even if the cost was reduced, the annihilation bomb would not have much effect on the wizard's battlefield.

The energy of the annihilation bomb dissipates too quickly, and the killing range is only one meter in radius. Even if the amount of elements is increased, the killing range can only be doubled at most.

Compared with the wizard's spell range, the killing range of this thing is too small.

The only advantage is its long projection distance and great power within the killing range.

"Oh, I have a headache."

Richard sighed. He had originally thought he had discovered something extraordinary. But now it seemed that the annihilation bomb was still useless.

However, Richard didn't feel sad for too long. After all, the blueprint given to him by the Great Wizard of Bronze Spear contained more than just this.

Among these drawings, he also found a set of exoskeleton armor called 'Thunder'.

But unlike the Mechanic Type 1 Armor, this exoskeleton armor is very extreme. It directly abandons the armor plate and instead uses energy barriers as a means of defense.

The rest of its structure is almost entirely used to enhance the wizard's physical abilities.

It can even be said that this is not a set of armor, but a combat suit.

"This structure is a good thing. If we simplify it a little and use it on a 'mechanic' or 'craftsman', the performance of the armor will definitely be greatly improved."

The individual armor in Richard's hand is more inclined to be used as armor, and the enhancement to the user is secondary.

But with this, Richard can have both.

Of course, this also means that the cost of armor will be higher, but if you want performance, you can't be too concerned about the cost.

"This trip was not in vain." Richard murmured to himself.

After having a great time, Richard did not act like a mad scientist and dive into the secret realm to perfect his newly-minted idea.

Perfection can be done at any time, but as for the Wizards' Gathering, if you miss it you will have to wait another thousand years.

Besides, Richard has become a military operative, so it is even a question whether he will be invited to the party.

So taking this opportunity, he planned to communicate with these wizards and make some friends.

If you encounter any problems in the future, you will have multiple options.

Moreover, these wizards all had a good level of knowledge, so he could discuss some of the problems he encountered with them.

……

The wizards' gathering lasts for one month, and in the first week of this month, wizards are not divided by region.

But by the second week, the wizards consciously divided into five groups according to the Tower of Truth they were in.

The distance between the Towers of Truth is so far that it is easier to go to another world than to go to another Tower of Truth.

So it’s enough to just know each other a little bit, there’s no need to have a deep friendship.

After the small group was formed, communication between wizards became extremely smooth.

The circle of three-ring wizards is not large, and the three-ring wizards in the Tower of Truth all know each other to some extent - except for the newly promoted three-ring wizards like Richard.

And wizard gatherings are the best opportunity for newcomers like Richard to integrate into the circle.

Of course, ordinary newcomers integrate into the circle. For Richard, it is the circle that integrates him.

In the luxurious palace, several alchemy wizards gathered in a corner of the palace, discussing recent issues with each other.

"Master Richard, you are truly gifted. You have such unique insights into alchemy at such a young age." An old wizard exclaimed.

Just now, Richard solved a problem that had troubled him for decades with just a few words.

"Master, you are too kind." Richard said with a smile, "I just have a different perspective, so I found the problem that you missed."

As the gathering progressed, a three-ring wizard from the Tower of Truth spontaneously split into five smaller circles according to their schools of thought.

As the latest celebrity in the alchemy school, Richard naturally became the focus of the circle.

Many legendary old wizards, whose names Richard had only heard of, came to discuss problems with Richard.

"Alas, I really need to talk to someone." The old wizard sighed, "I've been stuck in the wizard tower all day, and my brain has rusted into a piece of scrap metal."

Richard agreed deeply with the old wizard's sigh.

Mental rigidity is a problem that all wizards have to face.

"Come to think of it, Master Richard, you have been discussing these days, but it seems that you haven't raised any questions yet." One of the alchemy wizards at the side suddenly spoke up.

Richard was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "I didn't ask any questions. Mainly because my questions were more about application, so this kind of question is a little inappropriate."

"What's wrong with this?" The old wizard who was enlightened by Richard laughed, "The theoretical problems have been solved, and someone can still ask the master for a share of the profits for an application problem?"

The wizards around also echoed: "That's right."

“Theory is what matters.”

"As long as you don't ask for the design directly, hahahaha..."

Seeing everyone like this, Richard brought up the issue of the annihilation bomb.

As soon as he opened his mouth, a wizard whose entire body had been transformed into an alchemical machine said:
"The killing range is too small... Then can we do the opposite and reduce the amount of elements, making the energy less and more concentrated, and then constrain it?"
