My Endless Life.

Chapter 91: Changes on the Front Line
The material from England is not easy to work with.

Li Qi and Levi had no other choice.

At present, we can only ask the people in the materials department to see if they can find alternative materials.

Although the new magic device is limited due to material issues, this does not mean that Li Qi and his team will stop researching the new magic device.

Dr. Levi is currently trying to create a third-generation Uno Orb that is different from the second-generation Orb.

The size is smaller and the structure of the orb is more delicate.

However, its function is not much different from the second generation. It amplifies magic power and allows the holder to release high-powered artillery attacks through firearms.

On this point, it cannot be said to be wrong. After all, justice is the key, and only with justice can world peace be maintained.

But Li Qi also felt that Dr. Levi's thinking might be a bit rigid in this regard.

Too much pursuit of power has led to neglect of the diversity of magicians.

For example, the magic formula can actually be constructed in advance inside the magic orb, so as to achieve the effect of instant magic.

The magician no longer needs to construct runes and chant spells. He can just use magic power to activate the constructed spells with a thought.

This was Li Qi’s previous thought.

Now he brought it up to Dr. Revy.

"Constructing a ritual inside the orb? I don't think there has been a similar alchemical product before..."

Dr. Reeves pondered.

The biggest difficulty in constructing a ritual inside the orb is that there is no corresponding reference object.

The inspiration for Dr. Levi's magic orb actually came from England's magic wand.

When he was young, he went to England to study and was very interested in magic wands that could amplify magic power.

It’s a pity that he didn’t have much talent and was only an apprentice of magic throughout his life.

That is the current first-level magician.

England is a place that values ​​magical talent very much.

Li Qi possesses an unparalleled talent for magic, and will be treated higher than the nobles there, but people like Dr. Levi, whose magical talent is mediocre, will only receive ridicule.

Therefore, after returning from England, Levi began to study science, trying to find a path that was completely different from magic.

The idea of ​​the magic orb also came about at that time.

However, the inspiration for the magic orb comes from the staff after all, and the staff, apart from being able to amplify magic, does not have the ability to fix spell runes to an object.

Levi had never thought about this before.

Even after Li Qi reminded him and thought of this, he still had no idea where to start, after all, there was no precedent for this.

"Just because there hasn't been one before doesn't mean there won't be one in the future."

Li Qi said, and said to Dr. Levi seriously:
"I already have some ideas for the relevant technology, and now I need you to cooperate with me, Doctor."

"Well... well, since you said so, let's give it a try."

Dr. Revy responded.

It has always been Dr. Levi's dream to create a 'technological creation' that can surpass those arrogant magicians.

Although the magic orb has been created by him, it can still be further improved.

If what Li Qi said is true, that magic formulas can be left in the orb in advance and it can be used instantly when activated by magic power, then the function of the magic orb in the future may not only be used in war.

It will truly replace the magician!

Anyone who possesses magic power has the possibility to cast magic!
Dr. Revy looks forward to seeing that day come.

……

Li Qi entered the technical department of the Magic Research Department, and finally arrived at the rear he had always dreamed of.

But while he and Dr. Levi were researching a new type of orb, an unexpected incident occurred on the Meen front far ahead.

"What did you say?! Jin Ke is dead!?"

On the Meen front, Genero, who had become the squadron leader, suddenly heard bad news.

One of his subordinates, a team leader named Jin Ke, died of illness this morning.

And this team leader of Jin Ke was charging at the front with him yesterday, but in the end he was hit by the enemy's poisonous smoke bomb and had to retreat to recuperate.

How come Jin Ke died in just one day?
Genero was confused, and asked the adjutant who came to report:
"What did the medical department say?"

"The medical department... the medical department said that this is probably acute poisoning..."

"Acute poisoning? The antidote is useless?"

"This is exactly what the medical department is puzzled about. Yesterday, after Captain Jin Ke was sent to the medical department, they used conventional methods to inject him with an antidote and cast purification magic.

"Captain Jin Ke's condition had stabilized last night, but who knew that this morning... the medical department found him dead on the hospital bed..."

The adjutant said with difficulty.

Genero's eyes tightened, and just as he was about to continue asking, he heard a soldier come in and say:
"Report! Lieutenant Genero! The captain has called a meeting! Please go to the meeting room immediately!"

"I know, I'll go right away."

Genero waved his hand to let the soldiers go out, and he didn't ask how his captain died.

After asking the adjutant to keep a close eye on the matter, he hurried to the makeshift meeting room to hold a captain's meeting.

But when he arrived at the meeting room, Genero realized that the matter might be more serious than he had imagined.

The captain who was in charge of leading Genero said to everyone present in a serious tone:
"From today on, we have to be careful about the food and water we have. If necessary, we can ask the medical staff to use purification magic to purify the food and water. "Also, when fighting with Farol's troops in the future, be careful of the enemy's special smoke bombs. Those smoke bombs are... poisonous!"

"poisonous?"

The subordinate squadron leaders and team leaders were whispering to each other.

Genero remembered his dead captain and immediately stepped forward and asked:

"Captain, this kind of poison, purification magic and antidote don't work?"

The captain shook his head solemnly:

"These things are useless because they are not simple viruses. According to the medical department, they are 'bacteria' and 'viruses'."

"…bacteria? Viruses? What are those?"

"I don't know. It seems to be a kind of poison, but magic cannot resolve its toxicity. The medical department is currently researching an antidote. Before the antidote is developed, we must be cautious."

As summer approached, new developments occurred on the front where Farol and Uno met.

Facing Uno, who possessed the magic orb and suppressed him on the battlefield, Farol used new combat methods.

They created "germ warfare", released viruses into the water sources above Uno, and made the viruses into poison gas bombs to be used in front-line combat.

With the addition of the newly developed hand-cranked machine gun, they were able to fight back and forth with Uno on the battlefield.

Farol's "germ warfare" caused great losses to Uno, and many soldiers died of illness on the battlefield because they failed to take effective precautions.

Unfortunately, these diseases are completely ineffective with medical magic and require special antibacterial drugs.

The battle situation on the front line reached the ears of President Remus.

After learning about the situation on the Minne front, Remus said nothing and went directly to the technical department to find Levi and Li Qi to inquire about the research progress of the new magic device.

What Farol did made Remus angry, and he couldn't wait to teach Farol a lesson.

……

Less than two months had passed since I discussed with Dr. Levi the idea of ​​constructing the ritual inside the magic orb.

It was also the first time that Li Qi felt the difficulty of research technology.

This time it's not the limitation of materials, but the limitation of 'inspiration'.

He can temporarily preserve a certain magic rune combination, and he can also activate the magic rune with magic power and release it.

But Li Qi had no idea how to permanently preserve the runes that made up the magic in the magic orb.

The magic orb is a technological creation. After being condensed step by step to its present state, its internal structure has become extremely delicate and ingenious, and it seems that adding anything else to it would be redundant.

Without being able to add anything else into it, there would be no way to complete Li Qi's vision.

If more things are added, not only will the integrity of the magic orb be destroyed, but the magic orb will also become as huge as it was at the beginning.

Even bigger than that.

There is no point in researching this.

So, when Remus asked Li Qi and Levi about the progress of their research on the new magic device, both of them were a little embarrassed.

"So, we can't improve the combat effectiveness of the magic army in a short period of time?"

Remus, who knew the whole story, frowned and asked.

Li Qi hesitated and said:

"If we can get England's special materials, we can popularize the new magic device I'm using now among the magic army."

"I have asked people to get the materials you mentioned, but many of them are unique to England... or even the School of Magic. It is difficult to get them, and even if you get them, the quantity will not be large."

Remus' frown deepened.

He ignored the problem of materials.

The materials used to make magic beads are very complex. Not only magic-conducting metals, but also various precious gems.

The original magic orb is like this.

The new magic device that is improved based on the magic orb will definitely require more materials.

If we don't get these materials, making a new magic device will be just a fantasy.

Remus thought silently. After a while, he looked at Li Qi standing next to Levi and suddenly asked meaningfully:

"Major Li Qi, are you... okay?"

Li Qi's expression remained unchanged as he replied:

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. President. There is nothing serious at the moment."

"Have you tried using firearms with the new magic device?"

"Not yet... What does the President mean?"

Li Qi suddenly understood something, and then heard Remus say:

"Come on, take your magic device and go to the shooting range to try it out. Oh, and don't forget to use your original flying magic."

Remus said, turning around and leading Li Qi out of the technical department.

Following behind Remus, Li Qi vaguely guessed Remus's purpose.
