Wizard's Journey

Chapter 165 One-Eighteenth of a Second

Spring comes and autumn goes, the four seasons cycle.

Thirty years have passed!

Thirty years may be too long for a wizard apprentice, but for the Seven Rings Tower and the entire wizarding world, it is but a fleeting moment.

From the time Green entered the Black Tower Wizarding Academy to his becoming a top wizard apprentice in the Holy Tower Qualifying Battle, only twenty years had passed.

Now, thirty years have passed, and even though Green seems to be doing the same thing day and night, some psychological baggage has gradually settled on his mind like dust on the ground.

Of course, just like a child growing taller, Green himself wouldn't notice the changes.

After shaving off his sparse beard and cutting off a section of his long, unkempt blond hair, Green looked at his clean and refreshed face in the mirror, gently touched his smooth chin, and continued with another day of monotonous and tedious experimental research.

The most basic price that wizards pay in order to explore deeper and more profound truths is this daily tedium and perseverance. But even knowing this, only a very few of the most elite wizards can endure the loneliness and solitude involved.

Green arrived at the Annihilation Energy Research Laboratory.

Green had already created the annihilation energy reaction recorder thirteen years ago. Over the past thirteen years, Green has gradually collected some of the most basic data on annihilation energy using this relatively simple instrument, although this data seems useless to outsiders.

After removing the cured capacity adhesive from the annihilation energy recorder, Green began to add some new liquid high-density capacity adhesive, and then began to continuously and evenly stir it with both repulsive and attractive forces until he confirmed that there were no more air bubbles in the capacity adhesive. Then he gently closed the instrument cap.

In a sealed environment, volumetric gels require half an hour of time to transform their properties, converting their liquefied structure into a solid gel block, and their internal structure becomes stable before the subsequent experimental recording can begin.

During this time, Green sat on the lab bench and began to summarize the experimental data recorded by Zeng Jing.

First of all.

Through more than ten years of data recording, the annihilation energy recorder has recorded thousands of energy reaction results after the collision of water and fire elements in different proportions, from "exploding flames" to "exploding water vapor", and even a series of experimental results in which there was no annihilation energy reaction at all.

Ultimately, Green was able to determine that the utilization rate of annihilation energy by the Explosive Flame Spell was between 19% and 23%.

To put it metaphorically, the wizard's Explosive Flame magic utilizes the annihilation energy obtained from the clash of water and fire elements, and then uses that energy. The efficiency of this energy utilization is similar to the first experiment conducted by Instructor Elaine in the first class at the Blacksor Tower Wizarding Academy, where the wizard directly throws a magic stone and detonates it.

This energy utilization efficiency doesn't even reach its full potential.

This is a disgrace to wizards who manipulate the rules through exquisite control of energy!

In other words, even if Green is simply able to perfectly utilize this wondrous energy, and even without making any changes to its properties, the energy multiplier he leverages is 150 times that of 30 times 5!

And if it could be further developed into a fireball-like spell, or even if further research into energy sublimation could be conducted...

Second.

The nature of annihilation energy should be that it is a higher form of energy capable of annihilating any known matter or energy in a state of conservation of energy degree.

The properties of this high energy are very mysterious. Any energy and matter that undergoes an annihilation reaction with it will not leave any trace in the material world, just as void creatures will inevitably be annihilated when they enter the material world, or as material world creatures will be annihilated and disappear when they enter the void.

Given the nature of this energy, Green's thinking about how to collect and utilize annihilation energy was almost driven to the brink of collapse.

Theoretically speaking, as long as Green doesn't find a collection "vessel" that prevents annihilation energy from being annihilated by it, Green will never be able to surpass the ancient wizards' research on the power of annihilation. He will only be able to use annihilation energy at the level of explosive flames, just like the ancient wizards.

At last.

The time for annihilation energy and matter energy to produce an annihilation reaction is one-eighteenth of a second. In other words, if Green wants to obtain a beam of annihilation energy that resembles elemental energy, he must have water and fire elements collide at a frequency of more than eighteen times per second and form a perfect cycle in order to obtain a beam of truly pure annihilation energy.

This is the instantaneous nature of annihilating energy.

The transient nature of annihilation energy dictates that if Green wants to conduct further research on annihilation energy, he must stack eighteen layers on each of the two bases of the annihilation energy reaction nature recorder, and at the same time form an energy system with a perfect alternating cycle reaction every second.

With eighteen bases stacked on top of each other, there are thirty-six elements on both sides (water and fire). Each base has six energy reaction nodes, so just recording these energy nodes would take Green more than two hundred and sixteen years.

If we add the perfect energy circulation design and the magical energy reaction between the bases, as well as the uniform frequency reaction of one-eighteenth of a second, it would take Green no chance to create the "Eternal Annihilation Energy Property Reaction Recorder" in this concept in less than three hundred years.

On the other hand, it also means that even if Green masters the properties and application of annihilation energy in the future, he must solve the problem of the continuous opposition between water and fire energy in order to truly achieve the utilization of annihilation energy.

After drawing the circuit diagram and ratio analysis chart for this experimental table, and recording yesterday's research record on the properties of annihilation energy, half an hourglass time had passed.

The high-density liquid volumetric gel in the annihilation energy property reaction recorder has turned into a solid mass.

Upon reaching the annihilation energy reaction recorder, Green adjusted the energy ratio of water and fire elements to 51.35% to 48.65%. He then embedded energy crystals into the bases at both ends of the annihilation energy reaction recorder. After a series of complex operations, the different elemental energies from the bases at both ends began to seep into the high-density volumetric adhesive.

Gradually, a dark red area began to appear in the center of the transparent volumetric gel.

puff!

An energy fluctuation occurred inside the annihilation energy reaction recorder. The energy conservation seal runes on the crystal glass flashed and wandered wildly, completely sealing some of the annihilation energy that had spread into this small container.

Within just a few breaths, the energy-related reaction recorder became completely calm.

At this moment, the solid volumetric gel block inside the annihilation energy property reaction recorder has undergone significant changes. In the central region, a cluster of numerous bubble streaks has emerged. This is the point of convergence of annihilation energy inside the instrument within a fraction of an eighteenth of a second.

Green began recording the attack intensity and annihilation reaction of this annihilation energy reaction in his journal.

The difference is obvious. In the energy reaction of water and fire annihilation, once the proportion of fire element exceeds 50%, the explosive flame magic will burst out in a diffuse manner, and the volume bubbles in the annihilation energy reaction recorder will burst out radially from the center in all directions.

When the water content exceeds 50%, the bursting water vapor leaves bubbles in the solid volumetric glue that will spiral and contract, causing all the bubbles to condense into a single mass and solidify towards a single point.

However, the energy consumed by the crystal glass sealing runes surrounding the annihilation energy reaction recorder exceeds that of the explosive flame principle magic.

There seems to be some higher-level knowledge of energy in this annihilation reaction.

After recording the shape of the air bubbles in the volumetric gel with a crystal ball, Green carefully opened the instrument's seal and poured a formula called Amutilin into the solid volumetric gel. Then he quickly sealed the annihilation energy reaction recorder.

After a while.

The volumetric gel is more transparent, but the extinguished air bubbles in the gel are blood red, as if they are filled with some reactive gases.

"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight... two hundred and thirty-four, two hundred and thirty-five, two hundred and thirty-six... one thousand and twenty-one, one thousand and twenty-two, one thousand and twenty-three, one thousand and twenty-four. It's still one thousand and twenty-four filamentous annihilation energy reactions, still two to the power of ten reactions...?" Green murmured as he recorded in his notebook.

After a while, Green put away his notebook and sat quietly in front of the microscope on the experimental table, silently beginning to inscribe basic reaction runes on the lava crystal.

This is a boring and tedious task.

It seems that Green has made a firm decision to spend hundreds of years creating an enhanced version of the annihilation energy reaction recorder, the eternal annihilation energy reaction recorder.

Perhaps this "Eternal Annihilation Energy Response Recorder" still cannot help Green achieve the understanding and control of annihilation energy, but if Green does not do it, there is absolutely no way he can achieve it.

Three hourglasses later.

Emerging from the voodoo lab, Green sat on a dining chair, mechanically chewing on the 'delicious feast' that had completely lost its flavor. Little Eight, standing beside him, showed no interest in even clinking his cutlery, and idly glanced at Green, saying, "Hmm? My dearest Green, you don't look too good today. Did you take drugs again?"

Green had just been inoculated with a new type of voodoo for mixed poison body tempering, and his body was in a weak period, so his complexion was naturally not good.

Glancing at Xiao Ba, Green said casually, "I haven't seen you go to Angiera much lately, what's wrong?"

"Sigh, that guy went to develop a different world called Portobova a year ago," Myna sighed, displeased.

"Huh? He left so soon. Didn't you say he still had decades before his mandatory mission period?" Green asked in surprise as he cut a steak.

The myna bird spread its wings, made a human-like shrug, and said, "I don't know what that guy was thinking. It seems he was planning to go to a very peculiar wizarding world, but he's missing some wizards."

Green nodded, confirming the myna's guess.

For most wizards who lack their own research systems, the easiest way to gain knowledge and inspiration is to plunder and learn from other worlds.

The different rules between otherworldly realms and wizarding worlds often make it easy for wizards to acquire some relatively basic and practical knowledge of witchcraft.

The dining table fell silent for a moment, with Old Man Ken standing respectfully behind Green.

Suddenly, Green, who was eating, frowned, took out a crystal ball, and an image of an old, green-eyed witch appeared on it. The old witch smiled and said, "Black Sota Green, I have successfully advanced to a formal wizard. How about it, is your mecha heart still there?"

Hmm, is this Guli Ni? Has she also advanced to become a formal wizard?

However, it seems that she must have chosen to use her physical body to leverage her spiritual power, which is why she looks so old now.

Green wasn't too surprised; this kind of thing no longer stirred much emotion in him. He wiped his mouth with a napkin, nodded at the crystal ball, and said with interest, "Of course it's still there."
