Lord of Arcane

Chapter 1410 Demonstration of Austrian Fire's New Plan
In the afternoon, Iolum temporarily left the laboratory because he still had business to deal with with the Austrian Federation, leaving Xia Duo alone in the laboratory.

"Sure enough, I'm still working hard!"

However, Xia Duo was also willing to do so. While continuing to connect the automatically produced David string components to the magic net, he also spared time for a simple test of the new Austrian fire plan.

Iolum's Austrian fire plan generally designs the David string member as a section of the device sphere, and several sections are combined to form a spherical multiple composite independent Austrian fire device.

Xia Duo’s proposal is more extreme. The David string member is designed as a cone whose apex is at the center of the sphere. Of course, the center of the sphere is not actually included, and the center of the sphere is designed as a partially shared supporting member.

This scheme is simpler than Iolum's scheme. After all, the cross-section design should take into account the cross-section intersection problem, and there are more redundant components and the space utilization rate is not high.

Or there are too many shared components, so that some components always flow high-flux energy, which is another big challenge to the stability of the Davy string.

Theoretically, designing each Austrian fire as a line from the center of the sphere to the spherical surface is the most efficient and concise solution (in the design of multiple composite Austrian fires), but that ideal state is simply impossible to achieve in reality.

In the final analysis, the independent Austrian fire device is not a theoretical problem, but an engineering problem.

Theoretically, when Xia Duo first became an arcanist, he speculated that there are two directions to realize this device, and their respective difficulties.

But it wasn't until the appearance of the David string that the independent Austrian fire device really showed a little light. Before that, Iolum's Mithril material scheme had been failing because the engineering conditions were not met.

If he can prepare mithril with infinitely close to 100% purity, maybe it will really make him succeed!
It's just that such an Austrian fire device is more expensive, more difficult to manufacture, and even more difficult to maintain than the current David string material solution, and basically has no practical application value.

Xia Duo has more experience in engineering design than Iolum. The modernization of his hometown is a miracle of engineering. After being influenced by his ears and eyes, he can naturally come into contact with many ideas that are at least not too backward.

And programming is actually an engineering issue, and Xia Duo, as a programmer, has more say in this aspect.

……

As the evening approached, Iolum hadn't returned yet, but Xia Duo had already completed the verification of the energy circuit of the David's string component corresponding to some of the magic elements in the plan, which fully met expectations.

However, if you want to conduct a complete experiment, Iolum's support is still indispensable, and there is still a problem in it——

The independent Austrian fire involves the tenth layer of the magic net. If Xia Duo just provides some suggestions or even conducts some experiments, then it is nothing. At most, it just proves that he is very knowledgeable in the principles of magic.

But if a complete experiment is to be carried out, it is almost impossible to continue to hide the fact that he has become a grand arcanist.

After all, if you want to link to the tenth layer of the magic net, even if you have an alternative spell-casting plan, it will be difficult to cast it successfully before you have a full understanding of the tenth layer of the magic net.

What's more, being able to do alternative spellcasting is almost equivalent to a great arcanist to a certain extent.

Instead of continuing to hide it, it is better to admit openly that Xia Duo knew that this day would come sooner or later, but he never thought that this day would come so soon!
……

Just when Xia Duo was thinking about when to confess to Iolum, Iolum finally came back, and he noticed the David string component that Xia Duo used to verify the new plan as soon as he came, he couldn't help but became interested, and asked:

"The new Austrian fire plan you designed?"

"Yes, I think it may be more reasonable to use a cone, which can make the overall structure of the device more compact."

"It's a good idea, and I'm planning to improve it like this!"

Then, Iolum further explained the origin of his current cross-sectional design, "At first, in order to save Mithril, I had to use more common components. Saved."

That being said, in fact, the cost of David String is not lower than that of Mithril, not to mention manual preparation. Arcanists are the best, at least high-level mages are required to do it.

And even the automatic preparation of magic equipment requires the consumption of a large amount of arcane energy crystals. (High-level mages also need to consume arcane crystals)
That is to say, Iolum could collect 10,000+ arcane crystals as the starting capital during the previous experiment. Otherwise, the cost of one experiment would not be much lower than before, and it is estimated that it would still start with tens of millions.

Of course, it is also a fact that the preparation cost of David strings is lower as the future progresses.

……

The two chatted briefly, and then returned to work. During the period, Iolum would occasionally ask about Xia Duo's design ideas, and Xia Duo naturally had nothing to hide.

As the saying goes, "heroes see the same thing", Xia Duo was surprised that Iolum had such a keen engineering design intuition without being baptized by various professional engineering creations.

And Iolum also admired Xia Duo's various ideas very much. The two chatted happily, and even stopped the work of linking the magic net, and went to the side to focus on the discussion.

……

In this way, time soon came to mid-August.

In the plane overlapping area in the center of the laboratory, surrounded by the ring-shaped David string component automatic preparation machine, a large sphere that seems to be almost entirely composed of faint blue glowing silk threads to the naked eye is gradually approaching perfection.

If there is no automatic preparation machine for David's string components, it may take two or three months to achieve this level, but now with this equipment, an experiment of the Austrian fire device can be compressed to less than half a month.

Seeing the gradual formation of the Austrian fire device, Xia Duo felt a sudden emotion in his heart. Only by constantly liberating and developing the productive forces can a real magic civilization be created.

Now Netheril urgently needs an industrial revolution. This is the best time to take advantage of the eyes and even hands and feet of the northern kingdoms being caught up in the underground drow war!

However, he is more aware that if the production relationship cannot match the surge in productivity, it may lead to more serious consequences.

It is still necessary to be cautious about whether to change or not. At present, only a small piece of land in the southern border can be completely controlled by him.

However, the Mither energy core with unlimited energy is about to come out, and Xia Duo has to consider the future direction of Netheril, a large base.

"Perhaps it's time to show the Severton Council the achievements of the development of the South Territory!"

Of course, before that, Xia Duo also needs to obtain an identity that is sufficient to match this achievement. Thinking of the continuous preparations these days, Xia Duo decided to confess to Iolum today.

As for when to announce to the outside world, he still needs to think about it again, but he probably has a bottom line in his mind, that is the time when the new apprentices of the Tower of Time will be born as high-level mages.
