After Richard and Jasmine's group's cooperation in exploring the ruins ended, they returned directly to Faroe City without staying outside and resumed their previous peaceful life.
However, compared with before, something changed was that he began to frequently go to the residence of the wizard Circe to exchange some knowledge about the ancient wizard civilization with the other party, focusing on the deciphering of ancient texts and symbols.
Sometimes, Richard stayed in Searcy's courtyard all day long and didn't return until dark.
When I came back, I didn’t even take a break. I went directly into the Garden of Eden under my courtyard and continued working, looking extremely busy.
…
A few days after Richard returned.
In the Garden of Eden.
Pandora walked out of the study to walk her dog and bumped into the old lich Afu.
Ah Fu pursed his lips in one direction and asked Pandora curiously: "Hey, little girl, do you know what that kid Richard is busy with recently? Why do I feel that something is wrong with him after he came back from this trip? . I asked him before, and he said that he picked up good things when he went out, but he wouldn’t be so busy after picking up good things.”
After hearing this, Pandora opened her eyes a little and said: "Richard... Well, I don't know exactly what he is busy with, but it seems to be in high-energy experiments, involving energy conversion and storage, similar to electromagnetic induction, but There are some differences. Richard said that what he needs to solve is the internal energy of matter... "
It was rare for Pandora to find someone to communicate with. Once she opened her mouth, she couldn't stop herself. She said a lot, which made Ah Fu stunned for a while.
Finally, Pandora stopped talking and asked seriously: "Do you understand?"
Got it, that’s weird!
The old man Lich thought angrily in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud for the sake of face. He just nodded and said: "That's it. It's very simple. Of course I understand."
"Really?" Pandora didn't believe it.
The old man Lich hummed, not wanting to pay attention, fearing that if he said too much, he would be exposed. He glanced around and saw a figure appearing in the distance, and immediately shouted: "Hey, stop here and steal the bones of my magic puppet, right? I'm not done with you!"
After saying that, the old man Lich strode after him.
The figure that appeared was the eight-armed skeleton Anan. Hearing the words of the old man Lich, he looked a little surprised, and his eyes were filled with fire, and he was a little surprised.
In the conscience of heaven and earth, he does often dismantle the "parts" from the old man Lich's magic puppet, but he didn't do it today - at least he didn't have time to do it today.
The Lich Old Man's accusation against him was completely false.
But the fire in his eyes rose a few times, and as he watched the figure of the old lich getting closer and closer, he turned around and ran away.
Why
No reason, just because he wants to, because he thinks it's more fun.
Just like that, the old lich chased the eight-armed skeleton and ran out of sight.
Pandora looked at it and couldn't help but shake her head. She withdrew her gaze and was not ready to get involved. She walked in another direction with the golden retriever and the big yellow dog, Little Bell, ready to sneak around again.
At this moment, a faint explosion suddenly sounded underground in the distance.
"boom!"
Um
Pandora blinked her big eyes and said thoughtfully: "Is this Richard's experiment failed again?" This was much more frequent than when she did math problems. She made mistakes more than ten times today alone. .
"Alas." Pandora sighed, with a look of pity, and walked away with the dog.
…
at the same time.
Eden dangerous goods functional sector, inside the highest-standard underground laboratory.
Through a piece of solid glass, Richard looked at the tragic scene caused by the explosion next door, looking at the melted processing table, scorched walls, and shattered instruments. A bright light appeared in his eyes and he said, "Success!"
Success! While most explosions result in failure, this one was a success.
It must be said that this success was a bit unexpected, but it confirmed one thing for him, that is, his guess about the research was correct.
Speaking of this matter, we have to start from the moment we returned to Faroe City.
After returning to Faroe City, he began to try to decipher the design of the energy furnace obtained from the ruins. After receiving effective help from the sorceress Cirsi, the progress was not slow. He has been experimenting frequently in the past few days, until now. It can be regarded as a landmark result.
This result was of great significance to him and allowed him to see the feasibility of creating an energy furnace by himself.
Because of this, he divided the profits with Jasmine and her group in the ruins, and Jasmine remained calm after getting the energy furnace. Because simply getting an energy furnace that he didn't even know how to use would bring great benefits on the surface, but it was not in line with his wishes.
Get a design drawing and a large amount of manufacturing raw materials, try to crack it, and try to create a new energy furnace from scratch, the benefits will be greater.
This is almost the difference between teaching a man to fish and teaching him to fish.
But then again, this matter is not easy to accomplish.
The difficulty of deciphering the energy furnace design is beyond ordinary people's imagination. With his and Circe's abilities, he and Cirsi could only translate 70% to 70% of the text on it, and he could only slowly figure out the rest by himself. Therefore, the experiments in the past few days have failed frequently, so much so that the rest of the people in Eden have become somewhat accustomed and numb.
Fortunately, hard work paid off, and he continued to learn lessons from failures, allowing him to overcome many problems. The knowledge involved in some of the problems was connected, which allowed him to gain a better understanding of the "World-Destroying Gloves", the Mask of the Dark Spirit King, and the short energy-storage staff.
Now he is not too sure about perfectly cloning the original energy furnace, but he is confident that he can create a brand new version of the energy furnace according to his own ideas.
Compared with the original energy furnace, the new version of the energy furnace may have some shortcomings. In military terms on earth, it is the difference between the "human version" and the "monkey version".
The human version is naturally better, but the monkey version is inevitably weaker due to simplification.
But he can 100% understand such a weakened energy furnace, and he can use it with more confidence. Plus, the cost is lower. To give an example, the same cost may only make one human version of the furnace, but it can make one and a half, two, or even two and a half monkey version of the furnace, which will cause crushing in terms of quantity.
In short, for the new version of the energy furnace, it may not be the strongest, but it is the most suitable for him.
Of course, it is still a little early to say this. The entire process of manufacturing an energy furnace has only overcome the first level.
Next, there are still many hurdles ahead.
Then keep on conquering.
Richard took a deep breath, walked out of the room and walked into the next door. After cleaning up the scene, I found a crystallized finger-sized piece of material from the melted iron, carefully placed it on a tray, and carried it into another room.
Not long after entering, the roar of machinery sounded.
"Buzz!"
"rumble."
A new busyness begins.
While busy, a faint voice floated out.
"In terms of energy output, there is basically no problem. However, in terms of materials, certain improvements are needed. It is best to use safe materials instead of heavy metals. On the one hand, after mana is activated, it can reduce a certain amount of physical burden; on the other hand, it can also Avoid heavy metal poisoning… ”
