"Your Highness!" Qiuyue said quickly, "Are you okay?"
Ning Wanjun stretched out her hand to stop the maid's yelling. It was incomprehensible, unbelievable and unbelievable - these were all her thoughts at the moment.
Xia Fan asked for the crystal cup. Although it looked clear, it was very fragile, so she didn't like it. She brought it from the palace simply because it was expensive enough.
The gold leaf is brand new, extremely thin, and has the Ministry of Household seal printed on the corner. No matter where it is, it can be exchanged for a sufficient amount of silver. But in general, it is just an ordinary gold leaf.
There is also salt water, there is as much as you need in the East China Sea.
Jade bracelets are an extremely common thing.
Every item has nothing novel about it, but in Xia Fan's hands, it becomes a "magic weapon"
No, the magic weapon also needs Qi to drive, but the opponent didn't use alchemy at all!
Ning Wanjun stretched out her hand again and slowly approached the copper wire at the mouth of the cup.
But this time, she only felt a slight pinprick.
"Can it only be used once?"
"It can be used repeatedly, but it needs to be recharged after being discharged." Xia Fan said, "In fact, this is how lightning is formed."
In the open area, the clouds and the ground form a natural capacitor, and the air in the middle is equivalent to the body of the crystal cup, but this "capacitor" is often broken down.
"I... still don't quite understand." Ning Wanjun frowned. She felt that something was about to come out, but she could never touch its edge.
"If you want to explain in detail, I'm afraid a whole day is not enough." Xia Fan took the bottle and recharged it, "But as long as you are willing to listen, one year is enough for you to get a general understanding."
The princess's expression said "please do it".
"Then let everyone else come and experience it." Xia Fan looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
Cognition can be strengthened through repeated practice.
These people had never been so close to natural lightning before. Their only concept of "electricity" came from the thunder that lit up the night sky, but now, they had a new understanding.
Although the momentum of the two is so different that it is difficult for everyone to connect them immediately, everyone can see that this blue-purple light has already taken the shape of a thunder.
And this is an extremely important step for Xia Fan's experiment.
After everyone was shocked once, Xia Fan placed the recharged crystal cup in front of the princess.
"Now that you have seen the thunder and lightning made by mortal things, then use it as an introduction and try to use the earthquake technique."
"Use... this thing?" Ning Wanjun was stunned.
"That's right. Have you ever seen lightning strike wood that stores lightning?" Xia Fan said in a persuasive manner, "In every aspect, it is a more suitable material, right?"
This is obviously an undoubted fact.
All participants in the experiment personally experienced the moment when it released electric light.
Ning Wanjun thought for a moment and nodded slightly, "I understand."
She held up the cup with one hand, and once again recalled the process of practicing the shock technique, and let the appearance of the electric light reappear in her mind -
"Zhenshu Guichen, Liuguang!
Still no movement.
But a surprising change happened quietly: the crystal cup in her hand quickly disappeared, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if it had never existed!
Xia Fan was shocked, the cup used as a technique material was consumed!
"This is..." Ning Wanjun was greatly surprised. She clenched her fists, but she could no longer feel any weight in her palms.
"The technique has been triggered." Even though Li Dang judged the situation, "It's just a matter of level, the streamer technique failed."
"I have never used such an introduction..." The princess was in a daze for a moment, "But I can feel that the reaction of Qi to it is more obvious than the lightning striking the wood."
"This is a new earthquake material!" Luo Youer muttered with wide eyes, "I just don't know which one is more expensive, the crystal cup or the lightning wood..."
"This is not a question of who is more expensive." Wei Wushuang keenly captured the key to the problem, "There is no accidental factor in the lightning strike, but His Highness's cup... should be handmade."
"Xia Fan, can the copper wire pendant you took before also store electricity?" Li shook his ears.
"It's just a symbol." He replied, just like the lightning striking the wood, it symbolizes people's exploration of the world, "And what it represents can directly generate electricity."
Xia Fan got the results of the experiment.
The effect of magic can be further improved by expanding cognition.
Every time an alchemist comes into contact with the world a little more, he can gain more abilities. Whether it is a guide to magic materials or a talisman, they are just auxiliary means. The most critical thing is what he thinks.
Universal education is imperative.
"I have decided that I will have a class every week from now on." Xia Fan said suddenly.
"Teach alchemy?" Ning Wanjun asked curiously.
"No... I don't know more about Fang Shu than Li." He said calmly, "What I want to teach is some more basic things."
Xia Fan naturally knows how huge a project it is to popularize education. With the current number of people and wealth, trying to engage in education is nothing more than a dream. But he can try his hand at the companions around him first - if these people are of high level, they will be of great help to him.
"What is the more basic thing?" Luo Youer tilted her head.
"For example -" he smiled slightly, "arithmetic."
…
That night, the maid Qiuyue invited Xia Fan to the villa.
"You teach those things... are they really something that people can learn?" Ning Wanjun rubbed her forehead with a haggard look on her face, "I think it would be easier to rush back and forth on the battlefield ten times than to memorize them."
"This is just the beginning. If you feel reluctant, you don't have to be too—"
"No!" she said flatly, "I must learn the shock technique, and then return to the capital with that bronze frame -" Ning Wanjun suddenly stopped at this point, "If you are sure you master these things, I can use them A similar technique to yours, right?"
"Of course." Xia Fan nodded.
"That's fine." Ning Wanjun changed the subject, "I called you here today because the confirmation results have been sent back."
"Oh? So about the covenant..."
"It's true." When she talked about this, her expression became much more relaxed. "According to the appraiser, the content recorded on that old piece of paper is indeed the terms of the covenant between Yongguo and Yama. The signature, seal and other details can also be confirmed. It corresponds to the documents at that time, and the possibility of forgery is extremely low. The other party even wanted to get it from me and use it as a treasure for the Recording Department."
And this request is destined to be impossible to be granted.
"Do you want to talk about this tonight?" Xia Fan suddenly understood why she didn't wait until tomorrow to tell him.
"In case there are long nights and many dreams, after all, I can't truly represent Daqi." Ning Wanjun smiled sweetly.
The princess is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, but she is already thinking about the future of her fiefdom and her own destiny.
"If we want the great witch to have no doubts, or have no choice but to have doubts, then we must take concrete actions." Xia Fan said.
"That's exactly what I thought."
There was a hint of cold wind in her voice.
