In the blink of an eye, many days have passed, and Richard's research on free energy elements has been initially completed.
Night, study.
On the desk, Richard was writing quickly on the papyrus scroll with a quill pen, summarizing.
“Through continuous testing in recent days, it can basically be confirmed that the previous hypothesis is correct. The free energy elements are theoretically super-heavy nuclear stable island elements that have not been discovered on the earth or do not exist.
The energy flow framework of the current wizarding spell system in the world is as follows:
The special radiant energy of special stars is transmitted to the current planet through astral projection. Some ordinary chemical elements on the current planet, after absorbing the energy projected from the stars, become free energy elements through some unknown method of nuclear fusion.
Afterwards, the wizard or wizard apprentice goes out of the body through meditation, takes these energy elements into the body, smelts them into mana, and stores them in the source of the law.
When it is time to cast spells to fight, the mana will flow from the source of magic, flow in the body, run along some natural channels in the body, or blood vessels, nerves, or veins, and finally reach a specific excited state and be released. go out.
After being released, the mana will automatically change, first turning into different free energy elements, and then the different free energy elements react with each other, showing spell effects and bursting with power.
After the spell is successfully released, the free energy elements will turn back into ordinary chemical elements. After absorbing enough astral projection energy, they will become free energy elements again, completing a cycle.
The simple process of the entire framework is as follows:
The energy of special stars → free energy elements → mana → free energy elements → spell effects. "
It can be seen from this process that free energy elements can express spell effects on their own, but for the safety of storage, they must be smelted into mana first. When the spell is cast, they can then be transformed back into free energy elements through some form of reverse smelting. . The two transformations in the middle must be accompanied by considerable energy loss. Moreover, during the casting process, because the mana is reversely smelted into free energy elements, the release speed of the spell will be delayed to a certain extent. "
As he wrote this, the quill pen in Richard's hand paused for a moment, then he pursed his lips and wrote a line of words.
"Then can this obviously flawed method of casting be improved?"
After finishing writing, Richard put down his quill and began to think seriously.
Yes, the current popular method of casting spells in the world has shortcomings and room for improvement.
Maybe this idea sounds a little funny, but the reason why we study the magic system is to analyze, improve and master it, and finally figure out the underlying scientific principles.
Studying something, imitating it, improving it, and then doing it better than it is a characteristic, or rogue aspect, of science on modern earth.
Science is not rigid. Real science is not a bunch of theorems, but a way of understanding the world and an entire open system developed based on it.
Science has a developmental nature. From the very beginning, steam thermodynamics, to electromagnetism, to computer science, and then to quantum science, they are constantly being discovered and then incorporated into the system and become part of it. Even if some unexplainable supernatural phenomenon does occur on modern earth, science will quickly establish a supernatural discipline to study, analyze and accommodate it.
From a scientific point of view, the current popular spell-casting methods in the world definitely have shortcomings and can be improved. Of course, this improvement is quite difficult, but isn’t this exactly the purpose of science—to solve the problems encountered
So how should the method of casting spells be improved, and what problems need to be solved
Richard's eyes flashed, he picked up the quill and started writing on the papyrus scroll.
"Shashasha..."
"The obvious thing that can be improved in the spell casting method is to reduce the process links, remove the smelting and reverse smelting processes, and directly use free energy elements to release spells. This method can speed up the spell casting speed and reduce energy loss.
Of course, problems also arise, mainly two. The first is a security issue, and the second is an issue of increased spellcasting complexity.
Regarding the first safety issue, we must face up to the fact that if free energy elements are not smelted and stored in large amounts in the body's source of energy for a long time, it will be extremely unstable. Because reactions may occur between free energy elements, doing so is equivalent to pouring numerous chemical reagents into a beaker. There is a great possibility that the beaker will be blown into powder directly. "
So how to solve it
Richard stopped writing and thought.
The solution to this problem is actually simple. The most thorough way is to separate and store all free energy elements.
After all, there is not only one source of law!
Yes, there is not only one source of Dharma. As long as you have enough energy and time, you can develop dozens or hundreds of Dharma sources.
After a period of research, there are currently about dozens of free energy element types identified, but the most commonly used energy elements in plastic spells are only nine: water element, wind element, fire element, earth element, Wood element, thunder element, dark energy element, light energy element, pure energy element.
Perhaps it is a bit exaggerated to open up a magic source for each element, but it is still possible to open a relatively small magic source for each of the nine elements of the evocation spell.
However, the most trouble-free method is not to open up new sources of law at all, but only to transform the sources of law.
It is only necessary to separate several independent spaces within the original source of law to specifically store different free energy elements.
problem solved.
"Shashasha", Richard squinted and quickly wrote the solution in the scroll, and then wrote another line: "How to solve the second problem?"
"The second problem is the increase in the complexity of spell casting." Richard wrote with a quill pen, "To use mana to release a spell, you only need to control the movement of the mana and reach a specific activation state before releasing it. After that, the mana will be in the activation state. down, it will transform itself into specific free energy elements for reaction.
But if you choose to use only free energy elements to cast spells, a single free energy element is relatively simple. But when the spell model becomes complex and requires a variety of different free energy elements to run in different channels in the body, the difficulty becomes It will become extremely large, and the computing power required by the brain will be extremely high. Just like some people may be born or trained to be able to do two things at once, but what about three things, four things, or ten things
According to the description in "The Chapter of Monroe", the computing power of the brain is a key criterion for promotion to a higher wizard level.
This is because the spell model of a higher-level spell must be more complex, and more strands of mana must be used to run in the body. It is necessary to strictly control the running mana to ensure that several mana reaches the activated state at the same time and is released together to ensure the success of the spell. Otherwise, the spell will fail and cause backlash. "
