"The fifty-second secondary magic stone vein has been opened."
In the study, Lize's cold voice echoed leisurely.
“The apprentices sent out over the years have searched the entire continent and found a total of seventy-three leyline nodes, of which only fifty-two have energy richness that meets the standards for cultivating secondary magic stone veins.”
"If nothing else happens, fifty-two secondary magic stone veins will be the limit of the continent."
Su Nan asked: "What about the scale?"
"One is small, two is medium, and the rest are large."
"The full popularization and promotion of sub-magic technology will take time. In the early stage, the output of one small and two medium-sized sub-magic veins is sufficient. When the large-scale mineral veins mature and the output skyrockets, it will coincide with the last outbreak of magic technology."
Su Nan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Where is the teleportation network plan?"
“This progress is a little slow.”
Lize reached out and brushed through the void. Countless slender rays of light intertwined to form a map of the Starlight Continent, which was covered with dense light spots. They are intertwined and connected to each other, forming a huge network.
Immediately afterwards, a map of the surface world appeared next to it. Only the center of it had a light spot, and the rest was blank.
“The transmission network in the surface world has been completed, and we are now starting to build the transmission network in the underground world.”
“How long will it take to complete?”
“Secondary Demon The stone vein plan has come to an end, and the free manpower can be transferred to the transmission network plan to slightly alleviate the problem of manpower shortage. At the current rate, it will take about sixty to seventy years. "
Su. Nan frowned slightly.
Based on this calculation, the entire transmission network will take more than a hundred years!
But he can also understand, after all, there are up to thousands of wizard apprentices who are tasked with setting up the teleportation array at the same time.
Compared to the vast Starlight Continent, this amount of manpower is not enough to describe it.
Slow progress is certain.
"The number of students enrolled in Starlight College has been gradually increasing in recent years, and more and more people will be available for the transmission network plan in the future. It may not be used for sixty years." Su Nan thought for a while and said.
"About this, I have something to discuss with you." Liz said suddenly.
“Say.”
“Do you remember the star core you got in Falling Star City before?”
Su Nan nodded lightly.
After getting the star core, he studied it for a while and found that it was actually an energy supply device, and its effect was roughly equivalent to a medium-sized element pool.
If it were any other wizard, getting the star core would definitely be like getting a treasure.
But Sunan is different. He has a way to synthesize a large element pool, so he naturally looks down upon the star core.
The most important thing is that the star core cannot be moved after it is installed. Otherwise, if it is a movable energy supply device, it is equivalent to carrying an element pool with you. Sunan will be more optimistic about it.
After that, Lize took the star core from his hand and said it was for an experiment, so Su Nan gave it to her.
“I used the star core to make a magic device, and commissioned the instructor of the academy to create the finished product, called the Star Eye, which is now being used in Starlight Academy to collect experimental data.”
Lize waved her hand, and a document floated towards Sunan.
Su Nan reached out and took it, opened it and read it carefully, her eyes gradually brightened.
I have to say that this magical item called the Star Eye is quite interesting. It can actually sense and record all energy particle fluctuations that exceed a certain standard. It is simply a powerful tool for monitoring extraordinary power!
The scope is a bit small.
“Is this something designed by Xingyun Society?”
"That's right."
"Can the sensing range of this thing be expanded?" Sunan asked with interest.
Lize pondered: "Under the premise of ensuring that the effect is not affected, it can be expanded to a circular area with a diameter of up to three hundred kilometers. No matter how large the range is, the precision of sensing energy particle fluctuations will be affected. . ”
Three hundred kilometers in radius.
Su Nan was a little disappointed.
This range is enough to cover a city, so it's really not that big.
A star core equivalent to a medium-sized elemental pool is overkill for monitoring the trajectory of extraordinary powers in a city.
It seems that this star eye is not very practical.
Wait!
Su Nan suddenly reacted.
It is impossible for Lize to be unclear about this kind of thing. If the Star Eyes only had this level of effect, Lize would not specifically tell him in front of him.
Since she did this, there must be a follow-up.
The thoughts in his mind flashed away. Su Nan glanced at Lize with a half-smile and said, "If you have any other plans, tell them all at once."
Lize Hearing this, a smile flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "If there is only one star core, the monitoring range of the Star Eye will definitely not be much larger, but if the Star Eye is the core, supplemented by multiple secondary stars, If the cores are connected to form a network, the monitoring range can be expanded!”
“Secondary star core?”
"It literally means an energy core with a second-class effect than a star core."
Lize stretched out her hand in the void, and light and shadow slowly emerged. It was an energy core that was quite similar to the star core, but smaller in size. A much smaller crystal ball.
"The star core is the core creation of the Starfall Society. Only the wizard members of the entire Starfall Society have mastered the manufacturing technology. However, as for the secondary star core, all the official members will make it."
“The secondary star core does not have the same effect of sensing energy particle fluctuations as the star core. It is just a pure energy core. However, when used together with the star core, it can resonate with the star core, thus amplifying the star core. Ability."
"That's it." Su Nan nodded clearly, "How much can it be enlarged?"
"If there are about two hundred secondary star cores, it can be magnified at least ten times."
"Ten times? A monitoring area with a radius of three thousand kilometers?" Sunan shook his head, "Not enough, this The range is not even enough to cover the southeast region."
Lize said angrily and funny: "Don't be too greedy, do you still want to cover the entire Starlight Continent?"
It was beyond her. Unexpectedly, Sunan nodded.
“It’s best.”
Seeing that Sunan was not joking, Lize frowned slightly and said: "The resonance amplification effect of secondary star cores is not unlimited. After more than two hundred, the amplification effect will shrink sharply. The upper limit is about twelve times. Beyond this Value, even if you install more secondary star cores, you can't improve the effect at all."
"What if it's not about increasing the quantity, but improving the quality?"
Lize was stunned. He was startled, then realized, frowned and said: "The secondary star core is already a mature magic item. It was researched by the Starfall Society at the expense of countless manpower and material resources, and was improved by countless wizards. On this basis, I want to To improve further, the time and energy required will be far beyond your imagination."
Su Nan still insisted on his opinion: "You don't have to worry about this. You only need to answer my question. If you want to improve the secondary star. Can the monitoring scope be expanded?"
Lize hesitated and said, "It depends on the actual situation, but in theory there should be no problem."
"That's okay."
A smile appeared at the corner of Su Nan's mouth.
Not to mention anything else, in terms of enhancing the effect of a single item, all the wizards in the Starfall Society combined cannot compare to him who owns the Rubik's Cube.
“Give me the design drawing of the secondary star core, and I will improve it as soon as possible to a more effective secondary star core.”
Seeing that Su Nan was confident, Lize reluctantly I can't help but secretly wonder. But she knew that Su Nan was not a reckless and impulsive person. Since Su Nan dared to say such things, it meant that he was at least 70 to 80 percent sure.
Lize was curious about whether Sunan could succeed.
She took a piece of parchment and used her mage's hand to control the rune pen to write and draw on it. It took her more than two hours to copy the design.
Su Nan glanced at the design drawing and asked: "Where is the design drawing of the star core?"
Lize shook her head and said: "That is the highest core secret of the Starfall Society. Only Members of Parliament only know.”
Su Nan was slightly disappointed, took the design drawing and went straight to the laboratory, preparing to create the secondary star core.
When he arrived at the laboratory, Su Nan directly unfolded the design drawing and placed it on the workbench.
"Taling 2, scan the secondary star core design drawing."
[Receive the instruction and start scanning. The scan is completed. 】
“Gather materials.”
[Instructions received, a total of one hundred and thirty-eight kinds of materials, one hundred and thirty-three kinds of materials have been mobilized from the warehouse, and the corresponding inventory has not been found for the remaining five kinds. Do you want to search for materials with similar materials? 】
“Search.”
[Retrieval completed during search, the following are the materials with the highest material similarity, red cracked iron, nematode crystal.]
Taling 2 The number is the second tower spirit refined by Sunan, who is specially used as the experimental second hand.
Its core capabilities are the spiritual library and data analysis capabilities.
The former represents super recording ability, recording all books, all experimental records and all knowledge currently owned by Sunan.
In order to increase the amount of knowledge in Talling 2, Sunan even asked Liz to input all the knowledge she had into Talling 2’s ‘Spiritual Library’.
The latter represents the computing power and data simulation capabilities of Taling 2.
The two complement each other.
The stronger the knowledge reserve, the stronger the data analysis capabilities of Taling 2 will be.
Using Taling 2 as an experimental assistant can save a lot of time and energy in calculations and calculations.
With the assistance of Taling 2, Sunan spent two months developing five substitutes, and then began to create secondary star cores.
The secondary star core is not a particularly complicated magic item. At least for Sunan, whose [Magic Item Creation] skill has been upgraded to level 5, it is almost not difficult.
Soon, two secondary star cores were created.
Su Nan immediately synthesized it.
The result did not disappoint him. The effect of the synthesized secondary star core was indeed even better.
In the end, Sunan used five secondary star cores to synthesize a brand new secondary star core.
When he placed the enhanced version of the secondary star core in front of Liz, the latter's usually cold face showed a rare expression of confusion and astonishment.
“You have really improved it?”
After carefully checking and confirming that the effect of the secondary star core has been fully enhanced, Lize looked at Sunan with a sudden look in her eyes. With an unconcealable exclamation.
She never expected that Sunan actually completed the improvement, and it only took just a little over a month.
It’s incredible!
Where are the wizards from the Starfall Society?
Compared to Sunan, the improvements made by the Starfall Society to the secondary star core were just like playing house!
“Do you think this improvement is enough? Or do you need to continue to improve the effect?”
Su Nan's words interrupted Lize's contemplation, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
Can the effect continue to be improved?
After a moment of silence, Lize said, "I'll have to make an actual test before I know."
Su Nan immediately waved her hand to make arrangements.
The Star Eye placed in Starlight Academy was moved to the laboratory of the Wizard Tower on the same day.
After conducting a series of tests and confirming that there was room for further improvement in the secondary star core, Sunan continued synthetic enhancement.
Every time it is strengthened, a test is conducted.
In the end, the number of synthesized enhanced secondary star cores was limited to eight.
The effect of this synthesized number of secondary star cores is closest to the upper limit. If it increases further, the effect of the core star core cannot keep up.
The result of overestimating the focus will actually lower the overall effect.
"The detection range of more than 7,000 kilometers is enough to cover the southeastern region. Are you satisfied now?" Li Ze glanced at Sunan, "Or do you really need to cover the entire continent to be satisfied?"
Su Nan pondered and said nothing.
Although this result is not impossible, it still has some flaws.
If possible, Sunan still hopes to cover the entire continent. This will be extremely important for monitoring the invasion of foreign wizards after the elements recover in the future.
To do this, either strengthen the effect of the star core, or create a second star core.
For Sunan, these two methods are actually the same.
Unless he can synthesize a star core from a secondary star core, it will be impossible to achieve his goal.
But Sunan has already experimented before, and it is impossible to synthesize a star core with a secondary star core.
Secondary star cores do not have the same effect of sensing energy fluctuations as star cores. This is destined to mean that no matter how many secondary star cores are put in, a real star core cannot be synthesized.
But on the other hand, as long as the secondary star core has the same effect, even just a little bit, he can use the Rubik's Cube to synthesize something with similar effects to the star core.
"The secondary star core and the star core can resonate, which proves that they have similar properties to a certain extent. Therefore, if the secondary star core is improved to have the ability to sense energy particle fluctuations, there should still be a possibility of success."
Su Nan had some concerns and told Lize his thoughts.
Of course, the synthesis was not stated clearly, but it was said that the secondary star core was improved to give it a weak energy sensing effect.
“Theoretically it is possible, but what’s the point of doing so?”
Lize was puzzled.
"The secondary star core is in an auxiliary position in this sensing network. Even if it has weak sensing ability, it will not greatly improve the overall effect. It is still impossible to achieve your goal of covering the entire continent."
Su Nan smiled and said: "I have my own plans, just cooperate with me in research experiments."
Lize also has rich experience in manufacturing secondary star cores. The improvement experiment will go much smoother with her help. .
After staring at Sunan for a long time, Lize curled her lips and snorted softly.
“Mysterious.”
Complaints were complaints, but she finally agreed. (End of this chapter)
