Gawain looked at the ores pushed up by the apprentices. From the first glance, he could tell that these ores contained magic-related substances.
It is a kind of silver-gray mineral with slight blue-purple stripes. Under certain light, it will have a metallic texture. The blue-purple stripes appear hazy and illusory when watched. This is an extremely vivid magic The characteristics of the material, and it is the characteristic that only the magic material with high purity and excellent magic conductivity will have.
A brand-new mineral that may be used in the field of magic has been discovered in the Dark Mountains. This is undoubtedly excellent news, but Gawain is more worried about whether the Nicholas egg will be damaged after being affected by this "stimulus". Leave longer-term problems: "How long does it take for you to get better from a cold? Is this disease serious in your...group?"
"It's all right, don't worry," the huge silver-white funny buzzing vibrated, "it'll be fine in two or three days at most. It's all a little problem. And as long as you don't directly touch the stimulus during this period, I will be fine after a while." Get used to it and you won’t get sick.”
"...Your race is really strange..." Gawain muttered in a low voice, focusing on the ores again. After observing them, he asked the craftsman next to him, "Has Hetty studied these ores?"
"Ms. Hetty has already taken a part of the sample in advance. Her preliminary analysis believes that there is a large proportion of metal components in it, so she sent a part to the Machinery Manufacturing Institute. I want the director to help purify it," the craftsman said earnestly. Hui reported, "But I didn't expect that the director just touched this thing, and it fell to the ground."
"Okay, then I'll go to her to find out the situation myself." Gawain nodded, and then looked at Nicholas who was lying on the ground, "You should have a good rest these two days, anyway, most of the machine tools are already online, and there is also a A batch of skilled workers, the daily production and processing of parts can be completed by various factories, so you can rest assured and recuperate. Do you have any requirements for the recuperating environment?"
The big metal ball shook its body slightly: "Just find me a place where I can bask in the sun, and besides me, pile up metal fragments containing iron and copper, or quartz sand from your world is also fine, I will make up for it." body..."
This is really in line with the logical setting...
Gao Wen sighed in his heart, then touched his chin and looked at the big ball in front of him: "But with your size and weight here... It's not easy to transfer you to the Sun Field. Wait a minute, I'll go find Hetty Give you a bariatric or something..."
"Oh, no, no, I'm not completely paralyzed, my levitation chamber can still work, but I can't float," Nicholas said humbly, "Just find someone to push me, don't worry, it's very easy. "
Dealing with an iron ball star with such a unique style of painting is really a challenge. Gao Wen has to work hard to adapt to the opponent's peculiar appearance and physical characteristics so as not to collapse his expression. He managed to hold back the corners of his mouth. Shaking, he turned his head and glanced at the craftsmen and apprentices next to him: "You... who pushed your director to go out to bask in the sun?"
Immediately, two strong apprentices stood up: "We are willing to take care of the director!"
Then Gao Wen watched the two apprentices push their chubby director to leave Workshop No. His apprentices went to pick out metal fragments for the director to nourish his body, and Gawain heard them discussing in low voices as they walked: "The director wants to eat sweet and salty ones? I don't know... the iron and copper pieces used to be sprinkled Seasoning?... All in all, sprinkle some salt. Pick a small piece, it's easy to eat. Where is the mouth of the director? What kind of mind are you... "
Gao Wen: "..."
I always feel that these apprentices and craftsmen of the Mechanical Research Institute have been with the Iron Ball Stars for a long time, and it seems that there are some changes in the three views...
He shook his head and stopped thinking about this aspect. After confirming that there would be no major problems with Nicholas' eggs and ordering other workers to return to their jobs, he left the machinery manufacturing plant with Amber and went to Hetty's location in the Lord's office. The magic laboratory outside the mansion.
Although the Lord's Mansion has been completed, and there are also Hetty's room and two regular magic laboratories, not all magic experiments can be carried out in the Lord's Mansion. Considering the danger of many magic experiments and testing new materials and new spells Due to the uncertainties of the time, Hetty reserved the laboratory that she originally established on the territory, and continued to use it as a "Dangerous Spell and Substance Testing Center" after renovation and reconstruction.
Naturally, strange magic materials collected from the dark mountains must first be sent to this testing center for identification.
Gao Wen and Amber came to the door of the laboratory, and were about to open the door to enter, when they suddenly heard a loud bang from inside: Bang! !
The explosion sounded like an oversized firecracker was ignited. Although it was not to the extent of blowing a hole in the laboratory, it was enough to scare people outside. However, the people who were active in the surrounding open space hardly responded. , it seems that everyone who lives around here is used to this.
Gao Wen was a little nervous, and quickly pushed open the oak door of the laboratory engraved with protective runes. As soon as the door was opened, there was a puff of smoke blowing in his face. Before he could see the situation inside clearly, he heard He Dee screamed: "Rebecca! Just stand still!!"
Accompanied by the screams, a petite figure rushed out of the smoke. Amber was startled when she saw this figure, almost reflexively dodged to the side and at the same time stretched out her legs and stumbled, so the figure threw herself on the ground in an instant After going out, there was a short exclamation: "Wow!!"
With a quick copy, Gao Wen picked up Rebecca, who was about to use the face brake to flatten her chest. At the same time, he glanced at Amber in surprise: the conditioned reflex to see someone jumping over and blinking to the side is understandable, but the blink After driving, you can subconsciously stretch your legs and stumble... How this habit is cultivated is tm puzzling...
And Rebecca didn't realize what happened until Gawain caught her. She raised her head with difficulty, her face was blackened from smoke: "Wow! It's the ancestor!"
Hetty also rushed out of the smoke at this time: "Rebecca, give me... ah, ancestor!"
"Are you two okay?" Gawain glanced at Heidi, who was also smoked and had a gray face, and immediately noticed the magic staff in the other's hand and the arcane brilliance on the front of the staff, "Uh... look It's okay to wake up."
"Experimental accident?" Gawain put Rebecca on the ground, walked into the laboratory where the smoke was gradually dissipating, and saw a large piece of ice slag on one of the experimental benches at first sight. The ice slag should be Hetty. It was frozen urgently to prevent the damage from expanding, "Did Rebecca throw a big fireball at the test bench?"
At the same time, he was still a little strange: Although the silly roe deer has a hobby of throwing big fireballs, she should not be so reckless...
As a result, Hetty shook her head: "She didn't throw a big fireball, but when she injected magic power into the test sample, it directly detonated the sample! I don't understand how she did it!"
"Test sample?" Gawain raised his eyebrows immediately, "Is it the new ore found in the dark mountains?"
Hetty was a little surprised: "Ancestor, you also know about this?"
"I came here because of this incident. There was just a little trouble at the Machinery Manufacturing Institute. Nicholas's egg came into contact with this new ore, so he couldn't catch a cold. But don't worry, it's just a temporary symptom," Gawain said briefly. The purpose of my visit and the situation of the Machinery Manufacturing Institute, "Then I will come here to see if you have any research progress."
"Eggy got sick after touching the ore? Still can't float?" Rebecca asked nervously while wiping the black ash on her face, "Could it be that these new ores are poisonous?"
"Probably not. I used skills such as danger perception to sense it. I didn't find any harmful elements in the ore. It should only affect the special life structure of the Nicholas egg, and it is harmless to humans." Gawain shook his head and looked at He. Dee, "Did you find out what harm it does?"
"No, the ore itself is non-toxic and harmless, and it has very good magic-guiding properties. If it is refined properly, it may become a brand new high-quality magic material." Hetty summoned a water ball and cleaned her face and hair, then frowned and glanced at Rebecca, and helplessly summoned a water polo for the other party, while helping his niece wash her face while answering Gawain's question, "It's just that its channeling property is very strange... in the past When the magic power is input into it at a faster speed, the magic power will quickly dissipate into the air, but there is no such "loss" phenomenon at a slow speed. In addition, I also found that when two ores are quickly input with magic power at the same time , The dissipated magic power will even form an environment like a magic field around the ore... It's just that the nature of this magic field has not been determined yet, it is too unstable."
If you input magic power quickly, it will dissipate the input magic power into the air? If two ores are infused with magic at the same time, will a magic field be formed
Gawain blinked. He was quite concerned about the strange characteristics of this brand new ore. He instinctively felt that this thing might have some special purpose...not just used in the magic circle as a material for transmitting magic power.
But he was more concerned about how Rebecca blew up the material: "Speaking of which, what happens when you input magic power and it explodes?"
Rebecca shrank her neck immediately: "I don't know. At that time, my aunt was testing another set of samples. I just injected magic power into my own sample as she ordered, but it exploded before it even started..."
Gao Wen frowned suddenly: "You haven't started yet?"
Rebecca shrank her neck a little lower: "Yes...it hasn't started yet..."
"She won't lie in front of me." Gao Wen gave Heidi a serious look. "The accident should be related to some special property of the new ore."
"Special attributes?" Amber is completely half-assed in this regard, but she still pretended to understand and began to speak, "What could it be?"
Gawain looked into Rebecca's eyes: "You recall carefully, what happened to the ore when the explosion happened, or what was placed next to the ore."
Rebecca immediately lowered her head and recalled carefully: "Let me think about it... At that time, the ore seemed to be a little shiny, and the words next to it... Hey, that, there seems to be a detonating rune substrate..."
Gawain, Amber, Hetty: "..."
After a while, the three of them said in unison: "Why did you put an explosive rune substrate next to it?!"
