Wizards: Starting with Synthetic Gems

Chapter 440 Installing the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome

A week later, in a top-tier laboratory 20km from the White Dragon Tower, the architects of the Evoking School installed a magnificent, semi-transparent dragon crystal ecological dome above the laboratory.

Dragon crystals are something that only dragons possess, not true dragons.

Even the dragon race is only at the first level of magic on average, and there are no fewer than five dragon crystals installed inside this ecological dome. The entire 300-meter-long ecological dome is also made of the expensive first-level magic material, Time Crystal.

The surface of the hemispherical crystal dome is covered with a complex array of enchanted runes. Eight chain-like dragon spines connect to the crystal dome, which is hundreds of meters above the ground, and are responsible for traction and fixation.

During the day, it is the color of white crystal, but at night, the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome turns into a corresponding black and red color.

Within the entire super-grade experiment covered by its ecological dome, the vast space, climate, and ecology are all manipulated by the complex enchanted magic arrays inside the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome. Even the concentration gradient of magical tides can be freely controlled. Furthermore, the growth rate of first-ring magical plants can be directly accelerated directly below the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, shortening magical plant experiments that originally required months to calculate to days.

Inside the laboratory, everyone watched in amazement as the architects installed the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, a top-tier breeding facility at the first-level (equivalent to a first-tier) facility.

Barbara the witch looked up at the crystal dome and said, "I never thought I would see something so wonderful in my lifetime."

Tacitus said, "I never thought I would be able to use the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome in my lifetime."

As the architects completed the installation of the dragon crystal ecological dome, worth one million magic stones, a magical wave swept out in all directions, causing the surrounding air to vibrate. The magical power of the dragon enveloped the thousand-acre ecological garden of this top-level laboratory.

The subspecies of the chain vine in the ecological garden are all growing rapidly under the nourishment of this magic.

The forty-five wizard apprentices felt the immense magical pressure emanating from the sky, a power that seemed to shake the heavens and earth, and they were all deeply shocked.

This was the first time they had ever seen equipment worth a million magic stones, and the first time they had ever seen someone whose knees would go weak just by standing in front of it.

However, the magical pressure of the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome has been specially adjusted so that it is not unbearable for wizard apprentices; otherwise, no one would be able to conduct experiments inside.

Montgomery was reading the instruction manual that came with the equipment. This equipment was purchased by the Plutarch family from the Rootcrown Court in the Razer Lowlands. There were ten thick magic books explaining in detail every function of the Dragon Crystal Eco-Dome and what key points to note it was.

Montgomery was, after all, a certified wizard, so he quickly read through the most crucial points in the ten spellbooks. "Dragons possess the blood of true dragons, and the true dragon blood they possess is extremely pure, so they also acquire some of the abilities of true dragons to control all magical elements."

"Therefore, by using dragon crystal magic, one can control most of the magic under the ecological dome."

“But we need consumables every month, and the consumables are dragon blood,” Montgomery said. “Including transportation costs, it’s estimated to cost 100,000 magic stones per month. I think the Four Seasons Garden probably keeps a few dragons, so they can supply us with dragon blood regularly, but we have to pay them 100,000 consumables every month.”

That is, ten magic crystal cards.

“It’s really profitable,” Montgomery said. “The most profitable part for these equipment sellers isn’t the money they make from the equipment itself, but from the cost of purchasing consumables.”

"Following this pattern, we can buy another Longjing Eco-Dome in just ten months."

“Besides that, there are some maintenance points that I’ve noted down. We can maintain them ourselves; we don’t need to ask the wizards from the Rootcrown Kingdom to come and maintain them regularly every year.” Locke nodded. “Well, there’s nothing we can do about that. After all, the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome is a giant breeding facility jointly developed by alchemists and breeders from the Rootcrown Kingdom. It’s renowned throughout the wizarding lands. With this facility, our development speed will be much faster.”

Barbara the Witch, Tacitus the Wizard, and Montgomery the Wizard all nodded involuntarily; this time, they had truly gone from ragtag to ragtag.

In fact, they themselves had never used such good breeding equipment and research conditions before, and had never been so well-off.

Each of them had their own research plan in mind.

Now that they have this Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, they naturally want to spend some time making good use of this equipment.

Locke said, "In addition to this Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, the Root Crown Royal Court also provided us with a holographic magical plant sequencing scanner and a super-large radiation cauldron."

"Because we purchased their Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, the sequencing scanner and the ultra-large radiation reactor were given to me at half price, and the total cost was only twenty Magic Crystal Cards."

He currently has 300 Magic Crystal Cards left, but they are not in his possession at the moment. The Magic Crystal Cards will only be issued after he purchases some equipment or consumables, proves their use in the project, and then applies for reimbursement.

After all, this money was for the project, not for him.

At this moment, everyone saw the builders move a radiation cauldron, about the size of a small house, to the ecological garden location designated by Locke, install it using earth magic, and then perform some relatively simple alchemical operations to activate its functions.

The super-large radiation cauldron is an essential piece of equipment for large-scale breeding. It not only allows dozens of wizard apprentices—breeders—to use the magic frequency breeding method simultaneously, but also allows advanced breeders, that is, formal wizards, to use the magic sun with a larger range and the magic frequency breeding method with a larger range, and improves their accuracy in manipulating magical frequencies.

This thing costs 200,000 magic stones. Because breeding science in the Six Towers Land has always been in decline, the laboratories here don't even have a single piece of such equipment.

This resulted in many wizarding apprentices in his research group having to rent radiation cauldrons and use them sporadically, which was extremely inconvenient.

Now that they have this super-large radiation vessel, it will undoubtedly provide them with a lot of convenience.

The scanner was like a magic stone disc the size of a table, with thirty-one crystals of different sizes floating on the disc. These crystals were interconnected and radiated magical light, forming a complex magic circle in mid-air.

On the stone slab is a rotating mithril disc, and on the mithril disc is a hand made of vines. This hand can help the wizard place the juice of a living magical plant on the disc, thereby activating the magic circle and beginning to test the arrangement order of plant factors within the specific plant essence of the magical plant.

However, this equipment is quite difficult to use and requires professional breeders to undergo repeated training in order to master it. It also demands a high level of observation and operational skills from the individual.

Looking at the brand-new laboratory, everyone was full of energy. The fact that so much expensive equipment had been put into it made everyone feel overjoyed.

Locke himself has a synthetic Rubik's Cube, so he doesn't actually need a scanner. This is to facilitate the sequencing of magical plants by the other wizards in the next stage, using the finite element cultivation method.

Of course, you must learn how to use the equipment that is used with the finite element method; otherwise, it will be quite inappropriate.
