Chapter 216
Adam placed his hand on the head of one of the clones. The rest of the clones immediately stopped what they were doing, and their bodies became stiff. Starting from the lowest level of authority, countless data began to be gathered and transmitted upwards, and finally entered the brain of Adam.
The data gathering lasted for a long time.
The two main tasks that Adam left behind were to derive and verify Gauss's Law and Gauss's Law of Magnetism. The verification of Gauss's Law had been successful, but the progress of Gauss's Law of Magnetism was still not great.
Before leaving the world of sorcerers, Adam had sorted out the ideas of the experiment and sent them to the threads in the clones. In the past few years, the clones had tirelessly carried out the experiment without stopping. They were more like robots. As long as there were sufficient materials and no external interference, they would not give up on the concept. Even if the experiment failed again and again, they would only summarize the results and immediately choose another direction to carry on.
In this aspect, the clones were more advantageous than the experimental assistants.
After hundreds of failures, the experiment of the torsion balance was finally successful in the Ether environment. Then, the Ether Coulomb's Law was derived, which successfully described the interaction between static points in the Ether environment. Between two points of static points, the electrostatic force was inversely proportional to the square of the distance between two points of static points.
And Gauss's Law was completely dependent on this law. Therefore, after the successful derivation of Ether Coulomb's Law, Gauss's Law was derived without any difficulty.
At this point, the third component of Maxwell's equations was formed.
The process of data transmission was equivalent to the process of Adam's personal experiment. When this part of the data was completely absorbed, a gentle wind of magic appeared around Adam, and a faint breath of origin emerged and constantly gathered in his soul. There was no great momentum. The bottleneck from level one to level two disappeared just like that. Adam only needed to meditate step by step to achieve the magic value of a level two sorcerer.
The verification of these two formulas could make Adam's magic more orderly and more powerful. To use an inappropriate analogy, if Adam could use one point of magic to cast a spell, he could now use fifty points of magic power.
But that was all there was to it. Adam still lacked an important component of the strength of an official Mage, the True Elemental Body.
The True Body of Elements was very useful. Not only was it a means for Elementalists to get rid of the shackles of their weak flesh and blood, but it also allowed them to directly apply the knowledge they had already mastered. Hyperdimensional Elementalists aside, among the four levels below Hyperdimensional, the power of spells cast in the True Body of Elements was many times stronger than when they were in the flesh and blood state.
It meant that once Adam successfully verified the existence of electrons and condensed the true body of electrons, his every minor spell would be as effective as a full-strength attack.
The clones shared all the knowledge of the original body. They applied the rune system on the basis of the original body's research to create a new spell. This new spell applied the principle of Faraday Cage. By using magic power, the clones formed an equipotential body with zero electric potential difference and zero electric field. Adam simply named this spell Electrostatic Shield. The construction of this spell was very simple, and even apprentices could use it easily. However, its significance was very significant. The appearance of Electrostatic Shield directly meant that the traditional electric magic in the Mage's world would be completely eliminated.
Adam's laboratory did not only produce these results over the years. After the clones derived the almost complete set of Maxwell's equations, they found evidence of the possible existence of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, they carried out a series of experiments.
They used the sufficient materials that Adam left in the laboratory to create induction coils and discovered electric sparks. Then, they concentrated their computing power on a series of experiments on electric sparks.
They designed a linear open oscillator and began to carry out experiments day after day. Through the collected data, Adam knew that the process was not smooth. In the ten years of continuous experiments, the results were contrary to the theory of electromagnetic fields. However, the clones did not give up. Instead, they did not let go of any tiny changes in the data. Finally, they observed the phenomenon of electromagnetic waves spreading in space.
In Adam's view, the successful observation of this phenomenon was much more valuable than his level-two advancement. As long as he continued to carry out experiments along this line of thought, once he discovered and calculated the frequency of various electromagnetic waves, it would be of great help to Adam in analyzing and separating radiation from biological rays.
The clones' achievement could speed up the process of verifying electrons by several times.
Also, the discovery of electromagnetic waves was very useful in the field of alchemy. Adam might be able to make a fortune with this discovery.
He was not in a hurry to dive into the research. No experiment could be done overnight. Most of the great discoveries came from inadvertent accidents in countless experiments. This was the charm of knowledge and research. No one knew if their knowledge was correct, and no one knew if the results would be correct even if they deviated from their knowledge.
After the successful advancement, Adam ordered the clones to continue the experiments. He went to Lina and the Devil's side.
Lina's contract was still with the Devil. The first thing he had to do was to transfer and change the contract.
Lina was different from the Devil. She was a complete lifeform of flesh and blood. The Devil could hide in Adam's mind at all times after signing a master-servant contract, but Lina did not have this ability. If he wanted to make the forest elves into an army of slaves that could answer his summons at any time, he needed a special contract created by the mage world that combined master-servant and summoning. Through this method, Adam only needed to contact the leader of the slave group, who would then rule over the rest of the slaves. This way, he would have complete control over the entire race, avoiding the trouble of signing multiple contracts.
The value of this contract was not worth mentioning. After logging into the Weave, one only needed a small amount of Ether crystals to obtain it. However, it required a stable space produced by the Second Elemental Holy Tower to hold the slaves.
This kind of space had a simple ecological cycle that could be freely adjusted to accommodate different lifeforms. Its value increased with the size of the space and the number of functions it had. Even with Adam's current wealth, a space that could hold tens of thousands of forest elves would cause him to feel the pinch.
After all, the reward for this exploration mission had not arrived yet.
"Looks like I'll have to sell some of them." Adam stared at Lina thoughtfully. "After all, I'm an exploration mage. Before I advance to the Hyperdimensional level, I don't have to participate in the main battle. Exploration missions only need higher-level assistants with better execution skills. There's no need to keep so many slaves."
Lina's hair stood on end under Adam's stare. She could not help but shrink back and ask in a small voice, "Master … What should I do now?"
Adam purchased a contract from the Weave and applied to the Holy Tower for permission to sign a contract in the mage plane. He then said to the Devil, "Remove the master-servant contract between you and her."
The Devil did so without hesitation. Lina instantly felt free, but before she could experience the feeling of freedom, she was suppressed to the ground by the constant pressure from the Holy Tower. After losing Adam's protection, Lina was no better than an ant here. If not for Adam applying for permission in advance, she would have died the moment the contract was removed.
After that, Adam and Lina returned to the Holy Tower's storage space and personally selected a hundred of the most talented forest elves, fifty of them male and fifty of them female. He then used the complete equipment and a true bloodline purification spell to upgrade their bloodlines. After this batch of elves was upgraded, every one of them reached the rank of a Level 7 lifeform.
As for the others, they were given to the alchemy puppets for sale after their numbers were tallied. He believed that they could sell them for a good price.
Lina's eyes dimmed, but she knew that she could not change her master's orders. She could only watch as her people were taken away. She forced herself to turn away from their pleading eyes and desperate cries.
After all the forest elves left, the storage space became empty. Adam ordered Lina to stay here for a few more days. He then went to sign a contract with the trembling Sophia and took her away.
— — —
"Dragon …" Sophia was curled into a ball in the laboratory, sobbing. She was very afraid of this place. She was very afraid of the group of 'dragons' that looked exactly the same. She was even more afraid of being abandoned.
Adam had no intention of comforting her. "You need to get used to your new identity. From now on, you must become useful, or else …" Adam could not think of any threatening words. Sophia's mind was not fully developed, and she could not understand complicated words. He thought that the simplest words would be more effective. "Or else you will starve."
Sophia stared blankly at Adam. Her big eyes were filled with tears once again. After a while, she said in an aggrieved voice, "What do you mean by 'become useful'? Dragon, if you become smaller, we can't mate. Does that mean Sophia is useless? "
Adam kicked the Devil away before it could die. "Go to the Mission Hall. I need the help of a 9th-tier Bloodline Refining Magician."
After the Devil left, Adam said to Sophia, "I don't need you to mate with me. I just need you to become stronger."
Crystal tears fell to the ground. "But Dragon, I don't know how to fight. I can't beat anyone. I'm afraid of meeting bad people. Mommy said …" Sophia thought that she would never see her mother again and became even sadder. She began to cry. "Mommy said Sophia will learn when she grows up. But, but I think I can't beat bad people when I grow up …"
Adam felt helpless. He felt that it was impossible to expect a young dragon to become strong on its own. It seemed that he could only hope that a Bloodline Refining Magician had some special method to implant battle genes. He did not have time to cry with the young dragon. He immediately used a Hypnosis Spell to calm the young dragon down. He then went to organize the radioactive minerals and samples of the radioactive creatures.
The radioactive minerals were temporarily put aside. Nuclear knowledge was not something he could touch at his current stage. Adam did not have the slightest bit of knowledge on the atomic level at the moment.
The samples of the radioactive creatures were placed in the deepest part of the laboratory by Adam. Here, Adam ordered the alchemy puppets to create an almost completely enclosed room. The entire wall was built with Ether crystals. It was covered with all kinds of protective and auxiliary magic circles and densely packed observation and analysis equipment. If nothing unexpected happened, this room would be the center of Adam's research before the next exploration mission began.
At the same time, Adam also applied for two high-grade alchemy puppets to ensure that he could control a few of the 9th-tier radioactive creatures after he broke Magician Stanley's seal.
The next day, the Devil found a Body Refining Magician who was willing to accept the modification work and invited her to Adam's laboratory.
"Hello, Madam Meredith."
Magician Meredith was a very beautiful 9th-tier magician. Her figure was very slender and perfect. She was completely different from the muscular or scary looking Body Refining Magicians that Adam had seen before. She had a special temperament that was unforgettable and even addictive. When Adam saw her for the first time, he felt his heartbeat quicken for a moment. His heart trembled and he replaced his emotions with logical thinking to avoid making a fool of himself.
As for the Devil, he did not know what kind of suffering he had suffered. He lowered his head and did not even dare to raise it.
"Hello."
"Where is that little dragon? I heard that she has a natural elemental body? I have seen countless dragons in many planes, but none of them had this kind of talent. " Magician Meredith asked with a light smile. There was a charm in that smile that no creature could resist.
Adam said as he led the way, "It can only be said that she has a pseudo-elemental body. In the plane where she was born, she can control the elements to the maximum extent. But here, she is not much different from a normal magical beast except for her intelligence. She also does not have the ability to activate herself."
"That's normal. The origin of the Magician's World is too strong and suppresses the abilities of all creatures from other planes. But if she is really talented, she will be completely different after the modification."
"Is that her? What a beautiful little thing. " Magician Meredith looked at the little dragon sleeping soundly on the floor and her eyes lit up. She walked up to her and gently stroked Sophia's scales. "What a clean soul. Tsk, tsk. Poor thing. She is afraid even in her sleep."
She seemed to like Sophia very much. Without turning around, she asked, "How do you want to modify her? Do you have a plan? "
"She is a frost dragon. She has the pure element of ice. Although she can work with me, ice is not as perfect as water. I hope that the first step can be to modify her element into water."
"That is not a problem. It is very simple."
"The second is the True Elemental Body. Sir, I don't know what materials you need, but I hope that after the modification, her body will be a true elemental body."
"That is not a problem. I have the materials here."
"Third, her talent is too weak. I hope that you can solidify some high-level magic circuits in her body."
Magician Meredith turned around. "I can do that, but how do you want to solve the problem of energy? If the magic circuits are not activated by magic, they will not be much more powerful than ordinary bloodline talents. "
