After leaving the "Bangta Daily" newspaper office, Xu Yi came to the research institute in the west of the city.
After knocking on the door, it was Evita who opened the door, not Akali who chose to live on the first floor.
Seeing it was Xu Yi, the expression on Evita's face was a little surprised, but also a little happy.
"President, why are you here?"
Xu Yi pointed at his belly and said with a smile: "Today Vivian and her college organized students to go out for an autumn outing, but no one cooked for me. I don't want to go to a restaurant, so I just want to come to your place to have a meal. Aren't you welcome?"
Evita smiled slightly: "Of course you are welcome, please come in."
Xu Yi smiled and shook his head slightly. If it were Akali, he would definitely make fun of himself. However, Evita's personality is completely different from Akali's, and she behaves much calmly.
After looking around after entering the door, no figure of Akali was found. Xu Yi asked casually: "Where is Akali?"
"She's out today," Evita answered.
"Going out?" Xu Yi was stunned. "What? Is there something wrong with her?"
Evita smiled slightly: "President, have you forgotten that today is Sunday? You have said that we will have a holiday every Sunday."
"Oh? Yes, I forgot about it. I even asked to come over to see the progress of your research." Xu Yi slapped his forehead, thinking that he was so busy that he even forgot the day of the week. After taking a look at Evita, I noticed that she was wearing a coarse cloth apron outside her clothes. "Since it's Sunday, why are you still wearing this? Are you still working?"
Speaking of work, Evita's eyes suddenly lit up: "President, I am making some new discoveries that I would like to study with you. You are here today just in time. Do you want to take a look at my new discoveries first?"
"Oh? New discovery, what is it about? Is it a magic air conditioner?" Xu Yi asked.
Seeing that winter is about to enter, Xu Yi recently gave the Steele trio a new research task, which is a new version of magic air conditioner.
The first version of the magic air conditioner was a single cooling air conditioner for summer. Now that the weather is getting colder, Xu Yi asked them to study the heating and cooling magic air conditioner this time.
Of course, the first thing to solve is the magic circle problem in heating.
Unexpectedly, Evita shook her head: "No, it's about the magic lamp."
Xu Yi was a little surprised: "So fast? In just a few days, you have already solved the problem of the continuous output of the thunder and lightning array?"
Evita shook her head again: "Although we have made some progress, we can't really solve this problem yet. I'm talking about new discoveries on the other side."
"What on earth is that?" Xu Yi asked in confusion.
"I'm afraid you don't know what I'm talking about. I'll take you to see it." Evita waved to Xu Yi and walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor.
Xu Yi hesitated for a moment, then felt relieved, smiled to himself, and followed.
He has come to this research institute many times, but this is the first time he has gone up to the second floor.
Compared with the mess on the first floor, the space on the second floor looks extremely tidy. At a glance, everything is neatly packed away, even the various experimental materials on the workbench are placed. Meticulous and without any hint of messiness.
In addition, Evita even placed a few pots of plants in the not-so-large space indoors. Even though it was already winter, these pots of plants were still green, adding a bit of vitality to the interior.
Xu Yi looked around and saw several decorations that should be made of rags hanging on the wall.
Although the materials are simple, the patterns are exquisite, and the styles are exquisite and a bit cute. They are no less inferior to the decorations made by professional fabric craftsmen in those stores.
"Evita, did you do all this yourself?" Xu Yi pointed to the flower on the right hand side that was made of broken steps.
A blush appeared on Evita's face and she nodded slightly.
"You are really ingenious." Xu Yi praised, then laughed. "You can probably make these things. If it were Akali and Steele, I really can't imagine it."
Evita's face turned redder, and she wanted to defend Akali and Steele, but found that there was no way to defend them.
With their personalities, how could they endure using pieces of rags to piece together these complicated decorations.
Fortunately, Xu Yi did not dwell too much on this issue, and asked Evita: "Okay, where is the new discovery you mentioned? Show it to me."
Evita finally calmed down, picked up a thin stick-like thing on the workbench, and handed it to Xu Yi.
Xu Yi took a look and asked in astonishment: "Isn't this fluorescent grass? Is this your new discovery? What does this thing have to do with the magic lamp?"
Evita nodded slightly: "President, when you gave us the magic crystal lamp last time, didn't you also say that there is a method, which is to heat the metal wire to a very high temperature, and the metal wire will emit light. Can it then be used to make a magic lamp?”
"Well, I said that. But I also said that we can't make that kind of metal wire yet, so we can't make that kind of magic lamp for the time being." Xu Yi took a look at the piece of wire in Evita's hand. Fluorescent grass frowned and said: "You don't want to say that this thing can replace the metal wire, right? This thing will burn to ashes if you add heat casually."
"It's true that it's a substitution, but it's not the heating method you mentioned." Evita smiled, returned to the workbench, pointed to a magic circle arranged on the workbench and said: "President You see, this is the thunder and lightning array that we have studied and improved over the past few days. Although it does not have the ability to emit light stably as you mentioned, it can already emit lightning continuously for nearly a minute. "
Xu Yi nodded in approval and said, "Very good. If you can make this magic circle continuously emit lightning light with the support of magic crystal, then the magic lamp will be easily successful."
Evita looked at Xu Yi, hesitated for a moment, and then seemed to have made up her mind and said: "President, actually... Actually, don't you think, even if we successfully improve this magic circle into what you said, it will continue to release Isn’t the light of lightning suitable for making a magic lamp?”
"Oh? Why?" Xu Yi asked somewhat unexpectedly.
"Because the light it emits is too strong. Akali and I once experimented at night. The lightning light emitted by this magic circle can indeed illuminate the entire room, but the light was too strong. We couldn't even see it at that time. It’s a bit hard to open. I guess it’s not practical to use it as a magic lamp, right?”
"Is that so?" Xu Yi thought for a while and nodded slowly. "You make some sense. But I think this problem is not difficult to solve. All we need to do is reduce the power of the magic circle and weaken the intensity of the lightning."
"I'm afraid this won't work." Evita shook her head. "We asked your Excellency the Great Magician Camilla. Your Excellency the Great Magician said that thunder magic is a high-level magic of wind magic and has certain requirements for the strength of magic elements. Although this thunder and lightning array can only release lightning, Light without the power of lightning is a failed thunder magic array, but it is still considered thunder magic, and it also has requirements for the intensity of magic elements. This thunder and lightning array has actually reduced this requirement to the minimum. If the power of the magic circle is reduced, the magic circle will completely fail and not even the light of lightning can be released."
"Your Majesty the Great Magician said so?" Xu Yi frowned.
He can only master level four magic at most now, and has no knowledge of high-level thunder magic. Of course, he can only follow the professional advice of the great magician.
"Then according to what the great magician Camilla said, isn't this magic circle a waste of time and completely useless?"
"You can't say it's useless, President." Evita smiled and raised the fluorescent grass in her hand, then placed it in the middle of the magic circle.
As Evita pointed her finger on the magic circle, a trace of magic power was injected, and a light cyan light flashed on the magic circle, and it was activated instantly.
Xu Yi stared at the changes in the magic array and felt the magic elements continuously converging towards the center of the magic array. In just the blink of an eye, a large amount of magic elements had condensed in the center of the magic array.
According to Evita's previous demonstration, at this time, a lightning bolt will be activated in the center of the magic circle, and then emit a bright light.
Xu Yi squinted his eyes, and when he was about to welcome the bright light of lightning, he found that the light in the center of the magic circle flashed slightly, and then seemed to be completely sucked in by the fluorescent grass, completely submerged in the fluorescent grass.
"This..." Xu Yicai was about to speak in shock when he saw the thin fluorescent grass suddenly glowing all over, and after a moment, it released a soft and bright light.
At this moment, Evita withdrew her hand that injected magic power into the magic circle. The light of the magic circle faded, but the fluorescent grass was still glowing.
Before Xu Yi could react, Evita had already pulled down all the curtains.
Although all the light outside has been blocked, every place in the house can still be clearly seen because of the light emitted by the fluorescent grass.
Xu Yi stared at the fluorescent grass for a while in surprise, and found that although the light it emitted was bright, it was not dazzling at all, and had a softness to it.
"Is this your new discovery?" Xu Yi asked Evita.
Evita nodded lightly: "I once saw a record in a book, saying that there is a grassland covered with fluorescent grass on the Pamir Plateau of the Kandra Empire. Every time there is a thunder and lightning weather, the grassland will It emits a soft light and is very beautiful. When I was studying this thunder and lightning array these days, I suddenly thought of this record and wondered if fluorescent grass would be helpful, so I did some experiments. President, you. What do you think of this effect?”
Xu Yi laughed and was about to praise Evita when a frivolous voice suddenly sounded from the entrance to the room.
"Hey, dear Evita, what are you doing in the room with our beloved President with the curtains closed in broad daylight?"
