Fundamentally speaking, in this magical world of magic, things like magic seem complicated, but there are three conditions that must be met to become a qualified magician.
First, of course, is the spell. This point is actually the simplest link, as long as you become a disciple of a certain magician, you can always learn something, even if it's just the simplest low-level spells.
As far as I am concerned, the other two conditions are the key: magic talent, and sensory talent.
Magic is spiritual power. Du Wei and Solskjaer actually belong to the same category of people: they are born with certain magical talents, and their mental power is better than ordinary people.
However, they are all lacking in sensitivity. This is the biggest flaw that previously restricted the two of them from becoming real magicians.
And now, this flaw has been theoretically overcome by Solskjaer. Through pharmacy, he can produce artificial magic elements of various departments. By increasing the concentration of magic elements in the surrounding environment, people with weak senses can use magic... although it is only limited to the lowest level of magic. But at least, theoretically speaking, this natural barrier has been overcome.
Well, now Solskjaer's research direction is another aspect!
magic! That is spiritual power!
Both Du Wei and Solskjaer belong to the kind of people who have magical powers but have no senses.
Then, there are naturally a large number of people who are opposite to them in this world: those people are very sensitive, but have no magical talent!
Now that magic elements can be man-made... Then, what if the magic power can also be artificially improved
What would be the consequence of that...
Every time Du Wei and Solskjaer thought of this, they couldn't help being extremely excited!
If the problem of sensing power and the problem of magic power are overcome... then, it means that the era when magicians are superior will come to an end!
You have magical powers, not sensory ones! Create enough magic elements for you! You can use low-level magic! At least to become a low-level magician you have senses, no magic! Boost your magic power! Then you can also use low-level magic! At least become a low-level magician!
Even... Even an ordinary person has no magic talent or induction! No problem! The big deal is to make up for both of these two things in an artificial way!
As long as Solskjaer's research is successful, then, in Du Wei's view, this is simply epoch-making significance!
Everyone can be a magician! !
It is precisely because of such a great goal that Du Wei can meet any money-burning requirements of Solskjaer's experiment as much as possible under the tight economic situation! He threw thousands of gold coins without hesitation, and in the future, as long as conditions permit, he wouldn't mind throwing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins!
If it is possible to research a potion that artificially increases magic power...
Du Wei couldn't help being obsessed with it occasionally:
Find three to five thousand soldiers! Everyone distributes a bottle of magic potion, and then distributes enough magic elements... Then, three to five thousand soldiers, everyone is a magician!
Even if it's just the lowest level of magician... This is definitely a force that can change the history of the mainland!
An army of three to five thousand magicians! !
Moreover, as long as the output can keep up... let alone three to five thousand... even a magician army of 30 to 50 thousand is definitely theoretically possible!
Just thinking about it gets me excited!
But now it seems that although Solskjaer is almost busy with all four feet in the sky, bored in the laboratory all day long, and only sleeps three to five hours a day...but the progress is almost equal to zero.
It's not that Du Wei hasn't thought about stimulants... After all, the so-called magic power is actually spiritual power. Du Wei also took it for granted that if there were drugs like stimulants in his previous life to stimulate people's spirits, wouldn't it mean that he had strong mental power
For Du Wei's assumption, Solskjaer had also seriously considered it, but he immediately rejected this possibility.
"There are many things that can make people very excited after taking it. For example, I know something called "ice berry" that is produced in the frozen forest in the north. It has a considerable effect. After taking it, it can make people People are excited, and even if they take it excessively, they can also produce certain hallucinations and make people feel ecstatic. I heard that many nobles like this "ice berry", even in all... um, private parties, I will treat this kind of food as food to adjust the atmosphere."
Du Wei's eyes lit up... Could it be a psychedelic drug party? It seems that no matter how the world changes, the lives of some rich people are corrupt and absurd...
"However, these things that can arouse people's spirits have limited effects. At most, they can increase people's spirit excitement a little bit, but they can't increase the total amount of people's mental power much. To use magic, you need The spiritual power and the mental power of ordinary people are too much higher! This type of stimulant is far from meeting the needs. I have calculated that if you want the effect of this stimulant to be able to Let the mental power of ordinary people reach the level where they can use magic... unless... "
"Unless..." Solskjaer smiled wryly: "Unless one person eats a hundred barrels of ice berries! And now we know that, let alone eat a hundred barrels of ice berries, even if you If you dare to eat more than a small plate, your heart will stop beating because of being too excited! Then you will die immediately!" Solskjaer said this, with a wry smile: "Unless your heart is as strong as a dragon! Maybe It can withstand the side effects of a hundred barrels of ice berries. However, if we can find the dragon...then the magic power of the dragon is already very strong, and there is no need to use any means to become a magician!"
Du Wei thought for a while, then patted Solskjaer, whose eyes were red from lack of sleep: "The future is bright! The road is arduous! — I believe in you, work hard!"
Then, Du Wei clapped his hands very readily, and handed over this difficult problem to Solskjaer to have a headache.
Du Wei is not in a hurry. He was in no rush.
Although "star magic" has been practiced for some days, it still hasn't broken through the first difficulty, and it doesn't feel the power of stars. But the mantra Semel taught him, the meditation every night, has greatly improved Du Wei's own spiritual power.
And now, it seems that there is no problem in life that urgently requires him to master any huge magical power.
He, a nobleman, has no worries about food and clothing, and is served by a large number of servants. Now that he has monopolized the gambling business in the Luolin Plain, Du Wei has no shortage of gold coins.
What else can he worry about
Oh... maybe there is still a little problem.
Just behind the castle, there was originally a large farm. This farm produced enough food, vegetables and fruits, part of which was supplied to the needs of the castle, and the other part was used for sale.
Du Wei requisitioned an abandoned warehouse on the side of this farm, and now Du Wei would come to this place for a while every day.
The thing called gunpowder that Solskjaer made is now intensely carrying out a series of creative work...
Du Wei asked Made to spend money to buy all kinds of materials, as well as some hired craftsmen: there were carpenters, engravers, blacksmiths, and even a tailor, plus seven or eight servants in the castle, formed Du Wei's Pyrotechnics Development Team.
After Du Wei got the gunpowder, his first thought was that this thing can definitely be used to make fireworks to make money! This world does not need gunpowder, does not need thermal weapons. Because any low-level magician can launch fireballs, and the power is even comparable to individual bazookas.
And even if he is not a magician, a warrior with fighting spirit can use his fighting spirit to launch various martial skills such as wind blades...
Under such circumstances, Du Wei thought that at most he could make some earthen guns and earthen cannons, which would be useful for his ass.
And making fireworks is much more practical!
Thanks to some experiences in the previous life. Du Wei in the previous life grew up in the countryside when he was a child. He has seen some things in the earthen workshops in the villages that made fireworks and firecrackers. He can even use a few rolls of newspapers to add a small The gunpowder makes a firecracker! It's rough, but it's definitely loud!
Du Wei showed his skills in front of those craftsmen, and immediately shocked everyone! After confirming that the young master was not casting magic, Du Wei explained the function of the yellow powder, and then made some requests of his own.
Du Wei is not very interested in the earth-shattering firecrackers, he just wants to make some beautiful fireworks.
The so-called fireworks... don't they mean that after being lit, they can spew out speechless flames of six colors!
As long as there is gunpowder, there is actually no difficulty in craftsmanship. The earthen workshop in the village in Du Wei's previous life could make it, and Du Wei believed that he should be fine too.
Du Wei doesn't understand the color of the fireworks, but he is familiar with the pharmacy of this world, and knows that some special things will emit different colors of fire after burning, as long as they are properly blended with gunpowder.
These craftsmen are not stupid. After understanding the principle, soon someone made something that was many times more beautiful than the crude firecracker that Du Wei made. After igniting, the movement is loud and loud!
Then the fireworks were also made out. What Du Wei is most proud of is that he asked a sculptor to carve out a wood carving that looks like a goddess. The goddess is holding a water bottle in her hand, as long as the fuse is lit, fireworks of four colors can be sprayed out from the mouth of the bottle!
In this day and age, such a thing is undoubtedly nothing short of a miracle! This achievement made everyone's eyes pop out of their eyes! Even the craftsman and the sculptor who participated in the production couldn't help but kneel down on one knee and praised the great goddess of light with the most pious voice, thinking that this was a miracle bestowed by the gods!
Du Wei immediately slapped his head and named this product "Forgiveness of the Goddess of Dawn".
After pirating the name of the classic move of Aquarius Gold Saint in Saint Seiya, Du Wei is still not satisfied! !
After all, this "Forgiveness of the Goddess of Dawn" is too small. The fireworks that spew out are only as tall as a person.
If you want to do it, make it bigger!
Du Wei wanted to tinker with the kind in his previous life, the kind of salute every National Day! Throw it into the sky! Then it exploded in mid-air, and the fireworks exploded! That scene is cool!
This Goddess of Dawn is like a child's play in comparison.
And this one is difficult!
Du Wei talked for a long time, but he couldn't explain to these craftsmen how to "release" the fireworks into the sky! After thinking about it for a while, Du Wei understood. He fiddled with it by himself and got to the problem of the salute... This is beyond the level of pyrotechnics, and it is still in the field of "cannons"!
It is really impossible to explain to these craftsmen the explosive power of gunpowder, the principle of spraying, and the recoil, etc... The final result is: a bold craftsman tried to do it once, but because he put too much gunpowder, it caused a A small-scale explosion accidentally injured two people (the injuries were not serious, and it will be fine after two days of recuperation).
But everyone agrees: this is the punishment and warning of the gods!
Therefore, even if Du Wei put on airs like a young master, no one would dare to go any further.
Du Wei couldn't help being speechless: "Religious worship kills people..."
Since "shooting to the sky" from the ground is not going to work. Then Du Wei could only use his brain again.
After a night of hard thinking, Du Wei came up with an even more shocking solution: Since it is impossible to radiate from the ground... I will throw it down from the sky!
But... how to go to the sky... Could it be that the magician is asked to use the flying technique to fly up
That would be too untechnical!
Du Wei disdain this idea.
Moreover, any magician casts fire magic, and the scene is much more spectacular than this fireworks. If a magician can be hired to do it, then there is no need for fireworks! Just throwing down a fire magic, that's gorgeous!
But without relying on a magician... how to go to heaven
Du Wei suddenly felt that he was ridiculous... You can't let yourself build an airplane from nothing, can you
NND, the more you play, the bigger the game is now.
Du Wei definitely doesn't have the ability to build airplanes... So, besides airplanes, is there any other way
Du Wei's eyes lit up!
