The Synthesis Wizard

"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. Among them, only fifty-two have the energy richness to cultivate secondary magic stone veins."

"If nothing else happens, fifty-two secondary magic stone veins will be the limit of the continent."

Sunan asked: "What about the scale?"

"One is small, two are 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 secondary magic stone veins is enough. When the large-scale mineral veins are matured, the output will skyrocket, just in time for the last explosion of magic technology. point."

Su Nan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "Where is the teleportation network plan?"

"This progress is a little slower."

Lize reached out and brushed through the void. Countless slender rays of light intertwined to form a map of the Starlight Continent. It was covered with dense light spots, 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?"

"The secondary magic stone vein project has come to an end. The free manpower can be transferred to the teleportation network plan to slightly alleviate the problem of manpower shortage. At the current rate, it will take about sixty to seventy years."

Sunan frowned slightly.

Based on this calculation, the entire transmission network will take more than a hundred years!

But he could understand it, after all, the number of wizard apprentices who were tasked with setting up the teleportation array at the same time could number up to thousands.

Compared to the vast Starlight Continent, this amount of manpower is even a drop in the bucket.

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 needed for sixty years." Su Nan thought for a while and said.

"About this, I have something to discuss with you." Liz said suddenly.

"you say."

"Do you still remember the star core you got in Falling Star City before?"

Sunan 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 was different. He had a way to synthesize a large element pool, so he naturally looked 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 Sunan gave it to her.

"I made a magic device using the star core, and commissioned the academy's instructor to create the finished product, called the Star Eye. It is now being used in Starlight Academy to collect experimental data."

Lize waved her hand, and a document floated towards Sunan.

Sunan 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!

It’s just that 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?" Su Nan asked with interest.

Lize pondered: "Under the premise of ensuring that the effect is not affected, it can be expanded to a circular area of ​​up to three hundred kilometers in diameter. No matter how large the range is, the precision of sensing energy particle fluctuations will be affected."

Is it three hundred kilometers in radius?

Sunan 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 power in a city.

It seems that this Star Eye is a bit impractical.

etc!

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.

Now that she has done 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."

A smile flashed in Lize's eyes when she heard this, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly as she said: "With only one star core, the monitoring range of the Star Eye will definitely not be much larger, but if the Star Eye is used as the core, supplemented by multiple If the star cores are connected to form a network, the monitoring range can be expanded!"

"Secondary star core?"

"It literally means an energy core that is inferior to the star core."

Lize stretched out her hand in the void, and light and shadow slowly emerged. It was a crystal ball that was quite similar to the star core, but much smaller.

"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 can 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, thereby amplifying the star core's ability."

"I see." Su Nan nodded with understanding, "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 3,000 kilometers?" Sunan shook his head, "Not enough. This range is not even enough to cover the southeastern region."

Lize said angrily and funny: "Don't be too greedy. Do you still want to cover the entire Starlight Continent?"

To her surprise, Sunan nodded.

"It better be so."

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 place more secondary star cores, you can't improve the effect even a little bit."

"What if instead of improving quantity, we improve quality?"

Lize was startled, then realized and frowned: "The secondary star core is already a mature magic item. It was developed by the Starfall Society at the expense of countless manpower and material resources, and was improved by countless wizards. Based on this, If you want to make further improvements, the time and effort you put into it will be far beyond your imagination.”

Su Nan still insisted on his opinion: "You don't have to worry about this. You just need to answer my question. If the effect of the secondary star core is improved, can the monitoring range be expanded?"

Lize hesitated for a moment and said: "The specifics will depend on the actual situation, but in theory there should be no problem."

"That's fine."

A smile appeared at the corner of Sunan'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 Su Nan's confident look, Lize couldn't help but wonder secretly. 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% sure.

Liz was very curious 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 looked at the design drawing and asked, "Where is the design drawing of the star core?"

Liz shook her head and said: "That is the highest core secret of the Starfall Society, and only the members of the parliament know it."

Su Nan was slightly disappointed, took the design drawing and went straight to the laboratory, preparing to create the secondary star core.

When he came to the laboratory, Sunan directly unfolded the design drawing and placed it on the workbench.

"Taling 2, scan the secondary star core design."

[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? 】

"Retrieval."

[The search has been completed. The following are the materials with the highest material similarity, red cracked iron and nematode crystal.]

Tower Spirit No. 2 is the second Tower Spirit refined by Sunan, and 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.

Sunan then immediately synthesized it.

The result did not disappoint him. The effect of the synthesized secondary star core was indeed even better.

Finally, 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 Lize, the latter's usually cold face showed a rare expression of confusion and astonishment.

"You actually improved?"

After carefully checking it and confirming that the effect of the secondary star core was indeed fully enhanced, Li Ze looked at Sunan with an unconcealable exclamation in her eyes.

She never expected that Sunan actually completed the improvement, and it only took a little over a month.

It’s incredible!

Where are the wizards from the Starfall Society?

Compared to Sunan, the Starfall Society's previous improvements 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, Lise said, "I'll have to test it out before I know."

Sunan immediately waved his hand and made 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.

After each reinforcement, a test is performed.

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 reduce 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?"

Sunan was silent in thought.

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.

But to do this, one must 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 had already experimented before, and it was impossible to synthesize a star core using secondary star cores.

The secondary star core does not have the same effect of sensing energy fluctuations as the star core. 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 calculations in her mind and told Lize her thoughts.

Of course, the synthesis was not stated clearly, only that the secondary star core was improved to give it a weak energy sensing effect.

“It’s theoretically possible, but what’s the point of doing it?”

Liz was puzzled.

"The secondary star core is in an auxiliary position in this sensing network. Even if it has weak sensing capabilities, 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 my research and experiments."

Lize also has extensive experience in manufacturing secondary star cores. The improvement experiment will be much smoother with her help.

After staring at Sunan for a while, Lize curled her lips and snorted softly.

"Mysterious."

Complaints were complaints, but she finally agreed. (End of chapter)
