As someone who has experienced it, Lize knows that the most critical and difficult step in breaking through from the first-level crystallization to the second-level wizard is to fill up the mental power.
Talent crystal models can be provided by wizard organizations.
The structure talent crystal model can be accelerated by taking structure potion.
Even if it is an advanced talent crystal model, as long as there are enough construction chemicals, it can be constructed successfully in at most one or two years.
Only the step of filling the spiritual power requires a long time and a complete effort.
It is true that there are many items similar to spiritual beads that can speed up the recovery of spiritual power.
However, without exception, such resources are extremely rare and difficult to acquire.
Even if you can get a little bit, it is just a drop in the bucket and cannot significantly shorten the time it takes to replenish your mental power.
When Sunan searched the entire Tower of Stars, he only got a dozen spiritual beads, and after using them all, he only filled up less than 30% of his spiritual power.
That’s why he came to Lize, maybe the latter had something to do.
But what was disappointing was that Lize thought for a while and shook her head.
"Sorry, given the current situation of Starlight Continent, I can't think of any feasible method."
". Same."
Su Nan sighed secretly. tone.
In this case, we can only find ways to continue strengthening the element pool.
If a large level element pool could be synthesized, the recovery speed of mental power should be much faster.
Having some concerns in his mind, Su Nan stopped worrying about the matter and looked at the desk. When he saw the words written on the paper clearly, his expression moved slightly.
“Increase the production of secondary magic stones?”
Lize didn’t hide it either, saying: “The Star Alliance’s current production of secondary magic stones is not enough to support the rapid popularization of secondary magic technology. If Finding ways to improve this problem will be of great benefit to the development of Starlight Continent."
Su Nan nodded clearly and asked, "What good ideas do you have?"
"Yes, there is, but the conditions in Starlight Continent are too harsh, and many measures cannot be implemented at all."
"Tell me about it." Sunan became interested.
“Such as artificially cultivating secondary magic stone veins.”
Lize’s cold and sweet voice echoed softly in the study.
“Magic stone veins are formed by the long-term precipitation, natural purification and crystallization of elemental energy. The process is long and complicated, and the formation conditions are harsh. Therefore, it is difficult to manufacture artificially. Even half of it built by the True Spirit Wizard In this case, it is often impossible to form magic stone veins.”
"But the secondary magic stone veins are different. Its formation conditions are relatively simple and can be formed completely through artificial intervention."
"In fact, this technology had already been invented in my time. , but at that time there were many magic stone veins, and wizards had little demand for secondary magic stones, so there were very few wizards who valued this technology, and Xingyun Society happened to be one of them."
Su Nan’s eyes lit up.
Indeed, in the prosperous age of wizards, artificial cultivation of secondary magic stone veins is indeed of little significance.
If the demand is not large, just manufacture it directly. No one will spend so much effort cultivating secondary magic stone veins.
But it's different now. The importance of secondary magic stone veins to Starlight Continent is self-evident.
If there are enough secondary magic stone veins, not only can the secondary magic technology be rapidly popularized, but also part of the productivity of Starlight Academy can be liberated, and the productivity of manufacturing secondary magic stones can be used to increase the production of other materials. .
Kill two birds with one stone!
"What are the conditions required to artificially cultivate secondary magic stone veins?"
"The two most important ones are the leyline nodes and the magic stone essence mother."
Lize stretched out her hand, and a roll of parchment on the bookshelf levitated out of thin air, landed on the table, and automatically unfolded to both sides.
But it is a map of Starlight Continent.
There are thirty or forty places on it marked with red lines.
“I set up the task of finding leyline nodes at Starlight Academy. These thirty-six locations are the leyline nodes that have been discovered over the years. Their energy richness is no less than that of Glitter City Base 1. They are completely usable. To cultivate the secondary magic stone veins."
"But the problem of the leyline nodes is easy to solve, but the magic stone essence mother can't."
"Magic Stone Essence Mother is an accompanying substance of magic stone. Usually, a small amount of Demon Stone Essence Mother will appear in a large magic stone mine. This thing is extremely valuable and is one of the necessary materials for making elemental furnaces."
"The Demon Stone Essence Mother will definitely not be found in Starlight Continent now."
Lize sighed.
In Starlight Continent, not to mention large-scale magic stone veins, not even a small one can be found.
It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Without the magic stone essence mother, no matter how perfect the technology is and how rich the energy of the leyline nodes is, it will not be able to cultivate secondary magic stone veins.
But when she looked up at Sunan, she was shocked to find that the latter not only didn't look disappointed at all, but instead looked thoughtful.
"The name Magic Stone Essence Mother sounds like a highly condensed crystal of Magic Stone Essence?" Su Nan suddenly asked without any beginning or end.
Lize was stunned, thought for a moment and said, "It makes sense for you to explain it this way."
Su Nan had a meaningful smile on her face.
“I understand, I’ll put this matter on hold for now while I think of a solution.”
Lize glanced at Sunan suspiciously, confused.
How else can this be solved?
Unless you can conjure a few magic stone essences out of thin air, the secondary magic stone vein project will not be launched at all.
Su Nan did not intend to explain more, and changed the subject: "Is work going well recently?"
"It's okay." Lize nodded with a normal expression.
When they first took over the affairs of the Covenant, Carolina and the Red Widow made many small moves in secret.
But she doesn’t care either.
No matter how many little tricks Carolina and Red Widow make, they dare not blatantly harm the interests of the Covenant.
This is not because they have an overall view, but because the soul contract restricts them from doing so.
Therefore, she does not need to quarrel with those two people at all. She only needs to concentrate on managing the Star Alliance and smoothly implement each development plan. As the Star Alliance grows, the power will be gradually grasped by her. In the meantime, he gradually overwhelmed the two women.
This is an upright conspiracy.
To this day, Carolina and Red Widow have been completely suppressed by her.
Perhaps they have accepted their fate, as the two women have obviously made fewer little moves recently.
Seeing that Lize looked as usual, Su Nan didn't think much and said with a smile: "If you are too busy, you can find some assistants."
"Assistants?"
"Aren't there people from the Russell family in Starlight Academy?"
Lize was silent for a moment, shook her head and said: "Forget it, I don't want the Russell family to know that I am still alive."< br>
She left no descendants of blood back then, and it has been passed down for thousands of years. Today, the blood relationship between the Russell family and her has long been extremely weak, and she has long lost any feelings for the Russell family.
Furthermore, although Sunan trusted her and delegated power to her, he obviously would not allow her to form a party in the Star Alliance for personal gain.
Of course she did not have this idea, but once the Russell family knew that she was still alive and was in charge of the entire Star Alliance in place of Sunan, how could they resist using this relationship for personal gain?
By then, even if she doesn't want to, the Russell family will surround her and use her influence to form a faction within the alliance.
Although Su Nan is usually very talkative, once this happens, he will never be soft.
Perhaps the Covenant will become a behemoth in the future, and factions will inevitably appear within it, but no rational controller will allow this to occur in the early stages of a force's development.
This is the main reason why Liz does not want to get involved with the Russell family.
“You can also choose other people.” Su Nan said, “There are many good third-level wizard apprentices in the academy.”
Following Sherman and Corey, more students in Starlight Academy have broken through and become third-level wizard apprentices.
Such as Atil and Ethan. There are now a total of twenty-three third-level wizard apprentices in the academy.
As for the second-level wizard apprentices, there are thousands of them.
Lize seemed a little moved, thought for a while and said, "I will think about it carefully."
The Star Alliance has been dealing with more and more affairs recently. If she can find a suitable candidate, she really wants to have an assistant to help share the burden. She can't rely on those two aliens, right?
Seeing this, Su Nan did not force herself, chatted for a few more words and then left the study.
He has to verify his idea next.
Back in the laboratory, Sunan immediately transferred a batch of secondary magic stones from the warehouse and began to synthesize them.
“Since the Magic Stone Essence Mother is the crystallization of Magic Stone Essence, it should theoretically be synthesized using Magic Stone.”
"Just like elemental crystal dust and elemental crystal nuclei."
Not long after, there were a lot of advanced magic stones on the workbench in front of him.
Su Nan then continued the synthesis.
As the magic stones are put into the Rubik's Cube one by one, the number of energy units of the magic stones on the synthesis interface is also constantly increasing.
When the 203rd magic stone was put in, the word "magic stone" on the synthesis interface suddenly flashed and turned into "lower level magic crystal".
"Not the magic stone essence mother?"
Su Nan frowned slightly, thought for a while and continued to put in the magic stone.
As the number of magic stones placed increases, the lower-level magic crystals quickly become intermediate magic crystals, and then upper-level magic crystals.
During this period, the number of superior magic stones was exhausted, so Sunan had to synthesize a new batch and continue to put them into the Rubik's Cube.
I don’t know how long it took, when Su Nan thought that his guess was wrong and that the magic stone could not be synthesized into the magic stone essence mother, the synthesis interface suddenly changed, and the words he was expecting finally appeared.
[Magic Stone Sperm Mother, a crystal with a purity of 8.29% and containing massive amounts of energy, can be used to create the core of an energy supply device. 】
“It finally worked!”
Su Nan let out a long sigh of relief, with a look of joy on his face.
He almost thought his guess was wrong.
Fortunately, the magic stone essence mother was finally synthesized.
In this way, it will be possible to cultivate secondary magic stone veins.
“I don’t know if the 8.29% pure magic stone sperm mother is enough.”
You don’t have to think about it to know that the magic stone sperm mother used to cultivate secondary magic stone veins must be more pure. The higher the better.
Su Nan transferred a large number of secondary magic stones from the warehouse without saying a word and began the boring synthesis.
He didn't stop synthesizing until hundreds of advanced magic stones were added later, but the purity of the magic stone essence mother only increased by 0.01%.
At this time, the purity of the magic stone essence mother has reached 25.37%.
The price is more than 2.8 million secondary magic stones!
He has basically consumed all the secondary magic stones stored in the entire Star Alliance.
“The cost of a secondary magic stone is twelve silver coins, and more than 2.8 million pieces is more than 300,000 gold coins.”
“The cost is not bad.”
The cost of a secret puppet is more than 400,000 gold coins. More than 300,000 gold coins are exchanged for a piece of magic stone essence mother. This deal is very cost-effective, at least in Sunan's view.
However, soon, Lize came to the door.
"Su Nan, why did you take so many secondary magic stones?"
Lize's face was full of confusion.
Just now, she learned that all the secondary magic stones in dozens of warehouses in the Star Alliance had been transferred by Su Nan.
Most of them are energy that has just been stored in the warehouse and is ready to be transferred to various cities in the Star Empire for trading.
Because of this, the magic machines in various parts of the Star Empire will face the problem of energy shortage for some time in the future.
Of course, Lize is not blaming Sunan.
The Star Alliance is Sunan's property, and it is his right to do whatever he wants with it.
Lize didn’t care at all about the complaints from a group of businessmen and nobles.
She was just curious about why Su Nan suddenly used so many secondary magic stones?
"You're just in time, I have something to show you."
Su Nan smiled slightly, spread out his palms, and showed the thing in his hand in front of Lise's eyes.
When she saw clearly what it was, Lize's eyes suddenly widened, and her usually cold face showed a look of shock mixed with disbelief.
“Magic Stone Essence Mother!”
"How come you have this thing?"
Lize looked at Sunan in shock.
She had just finished chatting with Sunan about the secondary magic stone veins not long ago, and when she turned around, Sunan brought out the magic stone essence mother. This was too incredible!
Reminiscent of what Su Nan had asked before and the transfer of a large number of secondary magic stones, an astonishing thought came to Lize's mind - this magic stone essence could not be Su Nan's. Did Nan make it himself?
No, impossible!
It is impossible to create a magic stone essence mother artificially!
So far I have never heard of anyone being able to create a magic stone essence mother!
Wait!
Lize suddenly woke up. She had always wondered where the Covenant's magic stones came from. At first, she thought that the Covenant had a magic stone vein, but later after taking over the Covenant, she discovered that There are no magic stone veins at all.
The original source of all magic stones is the wizard tower in Sunan!
Now that I think about it, are these magic stones also made by Sunan?
What is the technology for artificially producing magic stones and magic stone essences?
Su Nan actually mastered this unprecedented technology!
The more Lize thought about it, the more likely she felt that her guess was possible, and she was extremely shocked for a moment
If this was really the case, that would be amazing!
Not to mention the magic stone, the magic stone essence mother is a key material for many energy supply devices.
With the production technology of Demonic Stone Mother, the Star Alliance can make a lot of money just by selling Demonic Stone Mother - provided that the plane barrier is restored.
In comparison, more than two million secondary magic stones are nothing.
Looking steadily at Sunan, Lize's eyes were particularly complicated.
How many secrets are there in Sunan?
Without answering Lize's question directly, Sunan motioned for her to focus on the magic stone essence mother.
“Is this Demonic Stone Essence Mother enough?”
Lize calmed down, used her mage’s hand to move the Demonic Stone Essence Mother in front of her, and observed for a while. Surprise flashed in his eyes.
“This piece of magic stone is of high purity. It is more than enough to cultivate large-scale secondary magic stone veins, and it can also shorten a lot of time.”
“Approximately how long will it take?”
Lize thought for a while and muttered: "About three hundred to four hundred years."
Su Nan frowned slightly, but then thought about how the formation time of normal magic stone veins is measured in millions of years. In comparison, the secondary magic stone veins only last up to four hundred years, which is already very good.
That is to say, the secondary magic stone requires less energy and manual intervention, otherwise the time required to form the veins is also a huge number.
"How long does it take to form a small secondary magic stone vein?"
"About one hundred and fifty to two hundred years."
"In this case, cultivating several secondary magic stone veins of different sizes at the same time will create a progressive difference in time. After up to two hundred years, the problem of insufficient secondary magic stone production can be greatly improved."
Lize thought about it and felt that this was the best plan.
Anyway, there are many leyline nodes on Starlight Continent. As long as there are enough magic stone essence mothers, cultivating twenty or thirty secondary magic stone veins is not a problem.
In a few words, Su Nan and Lize finalized the general matter and named it the Mineral Cultivation Plan.
This is the second huge planned project of the Star Alliance in the next few hundred years after the teleportation network plan. (End of chapter)
