Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

The magic trumpet stone, this magical item Red was not familiar with how to use. Instead of researching it himself, he decided to hand it over to professionals. The Ministry of Magic had been established for some time, so it was time for him, as the leader, to examine their research results.

As soon as Reid stepped into the Ministry of Magic, he heard a loud noise. No way, I thought this is not the Department of Chemistry.

He went in quickly, and when the smoke and dust cleared, he saw Miriam still holding up the magic shield in front of him, while Sharon was choking and coughing behind her.

Red complained, "Are you tearing down the house?"

Seeing Red coming, Miriam shook off the dust on her body and said:

"We were doing an experiment, but unfortunately, we failed as soon as you arrived."

"So what are you doing?"

Sharon replied, "Magic Rifle!"

Reid looked at a wreckage about two meters long next to him and said:

"It's so big! You call this a rifle?"

Miriam said embarrassedly:

"We've just started the experiment. Didn't you say that it's hard for a rifle to penetrate a magician's defense? So I wanted to try using magic as ammunition, powered by magic crystals. We tested its power and it can penetrate a 0.5-meter-thick iron block at full power, but the barrel would be useless."

"It's quite powerful, and it can offset the disadvantage of size."

Miriam, who was praised, said, "Of course, the user only needs to use a little magic power to activate it!"

"Wait, are you saying that this weapon can only be used by a magician?"

"Yeah, what if it's not?"

"How many magicians do you think I have here? I have finally found those with magical potential and sent them to you."

"But it is almost impossible for ordinary people to use magic items. Although most people have a small amount of magic power in their bodies, it does not mean that they have the potential to become magicians."

Sharon also added: "And at this stage, no one has discovered that there is any medium other than magic power that can activate the magic circle. If you want to use the magic device, you must be a magician yourself."

Must you be a magician to use it? Then what about those strange devices in Blackwater Village? Obviously, even if it is a highly developed magic civilization, if there are people who don't know magic, then wouldn't they be unable to enjoy the improved living standards brought by civilization?

"What about the ball we brought back from Blackwater Village? How did you study it? Does it also require a magician to activate it? Is there no switch?"

Miriam: "I'm sorry, I still have no clue about the ball, but I have made some breakthroughs with the other items I brought back from the Blackwater Village Temple."

"Oh? Tell me about it"

"For example, this lamp uses a transmission method that is very similar to the power system you are using now, using a certain conductor to transmit magic power. However, when we took out the conductor alone, we found that this object could not transmit magic power."

The first thing Red thought of was an electromagnet, which requires a coil and a magnetic core to have magnetic force. People who don’t understand may mistake the magnetic core itself for a magnetic metal.

Or it could be similar to low-temperature superconductors, which require specific conditions to achieve superconductivity.

Red told Miriam his idea.

Miriam: "So that's how it is. That's why they can transfer magic power, so that non-magicians can use magic tools."

Sharon said: "But the source of transmission still needs to be a magician, and there needs to be a medium for transmission."

"Then don't make magic weapons for now. First re-energize the terminal in the Blackwater Village Temple. By the way, I came here today to tell you something."

Miriam patted her chest and said, “Just leave it to us!”

After all, getting paid every day without producing any results may make you feel guilty.

"Well, this is it"

Red handed over a yellow stone, and the two recognized it at a glance.

Sharon: "Magic Horn Stone, do you want us to produce this?"

"But don't you have telephones and telegraphs? Wherever the telephone lines are stretched, there will be real-time conversations. Although the telegraph cannot communicate, it can send relatively complex information without wiring."

Miriam asked.

"The magic trumpet stone cannot convey very detailed information. It is generally used to transmit simple signals and is mostly used in the military."

Red explained: "No, no, no, this was given to me by someone else."

He told Miriam about the Saint and Bard.

"I'm not very sensitive to magic, I'm afraid I won't be able to receive the signal immediately."

"So you are my senior. No problem. I have a score to settle with these cultists! I will go there too when the time comes."

Miriam exudes a strong magical aura, and she is already getting ready to fight.

Gurgle, clang, clang

Red asked, "Hmm? What's that noise?"

"I don't know, it seems to be coming from that direction."

Sharon pointed to a tempered glass containing the ball.

Miriam: "Did it move just now?"

“Do it again like you did just now.”

"What kind?"

"Be angry"

"I was leaking my magic power to create pressure just now, didn't you feel it?"

Red spread his hands and said, "I don't feel any pressure. Anyway, stop talking nonsense and do it again quickly."

"Fine"

Miriam released her magic power again, and the ball began to emit flames as if stimulated by something.

Not only that, it seemed to be getting bigger, more metal appeared out of thin air around it, and the ball seemed to be growing.

"I feel like my magic power has been sucked away"

Then the tempered glass on which it was placed also began to melt.

"stop!"

Miriam stopped leaking magic power, and the flame of the ball went out. A new metal shell was formed on the original sphere.

"From now on, you are not allowed to use magic around this ball. Put it in a remote place and keep an eye on it at all times."

Miriam: "This ball now really looks like..."

"Yes, it must be the real body of that monster, a creation of a mysterious civilization, but I don't have any annihilation grenades in my hand now."
