Chapter 217

"How about a mechanical core?"

Adam did not have any good ideas for now. The only thing he could think of was the alchemist's way of adding a mechanical structure to Sophia's elemental body and using the alchemy core to drive mana.

However, there were some drawbacks. Although the elemental body and the mechanical body were not weak for an official sorcerer, they were still two different systems. When they appeared in the same body at the same time, it was impossible to achieve perfect compatibility.

As expected, Mage Meredith said something similar. "But …"

Adam understood what she meant. Since the mage said so, she must have a way to solve it. Now she just wanted to get more money from him, so he said, "Do you have a better idea?"

The mage took out a round core that was jumping rhythmically and constantly emitting mana. "This is a biological core made in my lab. There is a conversion magic circle inside, which can convert other types of energy into mana at a ratio of five to one. The effect is not bad. I haven't found any irreversible rejection yet. But the price is a little expensive. It's ten times more expensive than a mechanical core of the same level."

"Okay."

Although it was expensive, Adam still chose to agree. The mechanical core that Sophia could use now was about a thousand units of Ether crystals. Ten times that would be close to ten thousand. Adam felt that he could afford it even if he paid the balance of the stable space he ordered from the Second Elemental Holy Tower.

After all, the tens of thousands of war sorcerers in Kratos brought him a lot of income every day.

"Other than these, do you have any other requests?"

"This young dragon's mind is not fully developed. Her will to fight is zero. I hope you can change her will to fight, or simply implant another personality in her soul."

Mage Meredith agreed immediately. After she asked again and found that Adam did not have any other requests, she said her price. After deducting the cost of the biological core, this modification would cost a total of seventeen thousand units of complete Ether crystals. Adam paid the deposit without hesitation.

Mage Meredith was in a good mood after the deal. Her charm was even stronger. She smiled and said, "Adam, you're an exploration sorcerer, right? You modified this little dragon for summoning in the mission plane? "

Adam nodded and said, "Yes."

"I still have something good here. It can neutralize the rejection of the summoned creatures' energy by the Planar Origin and conceal their mana aura. It only costs 055 units of Ether crystals. Do you need it?"

Adam was stunned. He didn't expect there to be such a technology. If that was the case, "Your Excellency, then I myself …"

Mage Meredith shook her head. "You can't. When you were promoted from an apprentice to an official Mage, your soul had already undergone a metamorphosis. It is closely related to the origin of the Mage World, and there is no way to hide it. Most of the natives of the planes will only undergo such a metamorphosis when they become Level 0 creatures. This little dragon, even after its transformation, still has a low level soul, so it can hide it. "

Adam understood. It was no wonder. If this kind of technology could be used on a mage, exploration-type spells would not be so dangerous.

This solution solved Adam's previous worries about whether he could successfully complete the summoning. It was only 055 units. Adam didn't need to hesitate. He even gave the strongest few forest elves to Mage Meredith.

The mage was very satisfied. Modification was something she was familiar with. Besides, she had an entire laboratory of assistants to help her complete the task. It was very easy to earn this amount of resources.

"Well then, happy working with you. I will send the completed slaves to you within a month."

After the mage left, the Devil sat down on the ground. It didn't even want to maintain its transformation. It flowed around Adam's feet like a pool of dirty water.

Adam asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?"

The "dirty water" trembled a few times. The Devil cried and said, "Master, I almost died … God, how can there be such a scary sorcerer!"

Adam's head spun a few times, and he came up with an unbelievable deduction. "You didn't go and provoke her, did you?"

The Devil's body dispersed like smoke. It was lying all over the ground. Its voice came from all directions. "Master, who would have thought that a maid serving tea in the mission area would be the clone of a Level-9 sorcerer? Tell me, how can a Level-9 sorcerer be so bored?! "

"And then?"

Adam couldn't help but admire the Devil's ability to seek death. If it wasn't for the contract, it would have been dead by now.

"Then …" The devil mumbled and didn't reply. He must have suffered a lot. "Master, she has the Succubus Bloodline in her body. With this level of seductive aura, I think she has slaughtered an entire world!"

After the preliminary matters of the summoned creatures and slaves were settled, Adam began his own research.

The world of sorcerers already had the concept of atoms. Whether it was alchemy sorcerers or potion sorcerers, their research involved atoms, but they didn't study the tinier particles. Adam didn't think that the sorcerers who loved to research would not want to know what was inside the atom. There were two reasons why they hadn't discovered it so far. First, the existence of Ether made the atom more stable and inseparable. Second, even if they only knew about the atom, potion sorcerers and alchemy sorcerers were already powerful enough.

When Adam first obtained the cultivation method of True Elemental Body, he thought that it would take a lot of time and resources to find out the existence of electrons. However, the harvest in Kratos and the progress of the research on electromagnetic waves of clones had greatly accelerated the process.

If Adam's guess was right, the radiation creatures' energy beams were composed of alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays. Among the three types of rays, alpha rays were helium nuclei, gamma rays were electromagnetic waves, and beta rays were electron beams, formed by the ejection of electrons in groups.

Without a physical reference, the process of deducing and verifying the discovery from scratch was extremely difficult. However, if Adam could separate and analyze the energy attack of the radiation creatures, it would be much easier to separate the beta rays from the radiation creatures and reverse engineer the electrons.

To do this, first of all, he had to perfect the theory of electromagnetic waves, draw a relatively complete electromagnetic spectrum in the Ether environment, and then separate the gamma rays.

The progress of the clones was good. They had successfully observed the phenomenon of electromagnetic waves propagating in the Ether environment. The first step Adam had to do was to carry out a large number of comparative experiments to record the phenomenon.

Adam suspended the project that the clones were currently working on and destroyed all the units. He used his more powerful cells to clone the clones again. The new clones could carry more computing power and more energy, further improving the efficiency of the experiments.

The linear open oscillator made by the clones was a copper ball welded on one end of two copper rods, and a square piece of zinc was placed on the other end. The two copper rods were placed in the same line, leaving a gap between the two balls. They were connected to the two ends of the secondary coil of the induction coil, and then an electric shock was released. When the electric element reached a certain level, the gap would be penetrated by sparks, and the two copper rods would connect to form a conductive path. At this time, it was equivalent to an oscillating dipole, causing a high-frequency oscillation. However, due to the continuous dissipation of energy, the high-frequency oscillation would be attenuated very quickly.

Adam used a mithril wire to form a circular ring, and welded a mithril ball that could adjust the distance between each opening of the ring, creating a resonating dipole as a detector. He placed the detector next to the oscillator. When the oscillator was energized, if the two ends of the detector produced electric sparks due to resonance, the alternating electromagnetic field generated by the oscillator would generate a new electromagnetic field in the Ether space, which was the appearance of electromagnetic waves in the space.

Adam made a few hundred copies of the instrument and handed it to each clone to operate and record independently.

There was no problem with the idea, but the experiment was not as easy as imagined. The Ether space was too lazy and too stable. Although there were occasional electric sparks, there were too few samples to confirm the existence of electromagnetic waves.

Adam began to control the distance between each clone and used magic to create an energy vacuum environment between them to ensure that they would not affect each other.

The experiment was carried out in the form of exhaustion. However, because everyone in Adam's lab, including Adam, did not need to rest and did not make any mistakes, the progress was not very slow.

Ten days later, Adam roughly concluded a stable frequency. Finally, after personally inputting a high-voltage pulse current into the instrument, he found a weak electric spark bursting out from the gap. Adam immediately transmitted the frequency to the minds of all the clones, and the same result appeared on their instruments. The electric spark kept jumping, accompanied by the birth of a new electromagnetic field.

This result proved that electromagnetic oscillations could propagate in the Ether space. Therefore, the existence of electromagnetic waves was confirmed.

The new knowledge turned into runes and entered Adam's soul. His soul became a little stronger, but this knowledge could not be used because he could not measure the speed and frequency of electromagnetic waves.

Without hesitation and without the need for rest, Adam immediately began the next step of the experiment.

Adam entered a room completely in the Ether space. The walls were covered with a layer of metal plates to reflect electromagnetic waves. The superposition of the incident wave and the reflected wave would produce a standing wave. Adam used the instrument to observe the standing wave in different directions and different distances. The places where the sparks were brighter were the peaks and troughs of the wave, and the places where there were no sparks at all were the zero values in between.

After obtaining some data, Adam went through the Holy Tower's teleportation hall to the void outside alone. He observed in the void environment and found that the values were basically the same as what he observed in the lab.

After a whole day of precise calculations, Adam obtained the wavelength of the observed electromagnetic waves. After multiplying this value with the frequency of the oscillating sparks, he calculated the speed of the electromagnetic waves. The Ether space and the universe where Earth was located were not different in this physical quantity. The speed of electromagnetic waves was equal to the speed of light, and light was also a kind of electromagnetic wave in the world of sorcerers.

It could be concluded that the speed of the wave was equal to the wavelength multiplied by the frequency. In other words, the frequency was equal to the speed of the wave divided by the wavelength.

After reaching this conclusion, Adam's body and soul changed again. The flashing runes continued to condense and tried to enter his soul. Some of them succeeded and brought about a further improvement of his soul, but the other part disappeared naturally and did not enter his soul.

Because of the psychological trauma, the Devil had been staying in the lab during the experiment and did not dare to disturb Adam. It just kept muttering to itself. Now that it saw that the knowledge was established and partially broken, it asked in a low voice, "Master, did the experiment fail?"

Adam shook his head and nodded. The experiment was successful, but the conclusion was not complete.

"Wave-particle duality …"

The Devil was confused. When it was about to ask, Adam interrupted it, "I can't explain it now. This is not something that I have the ability to study."

The Devil did not ask any more questions. After all, even if Adam explained it, it would not understand. The only reason it spoke was because it was too bored.

Adam ordered the clone to organize all the data of the experiment and start the research of derivative spells and technologies according to the experiment report. The clone was mainly to study radio waves. Once the frequency of this wave was completely discovered and verified, Adam could start to create some simple communication spells and alchemy items. This was the only way that the knowledge of electromagnetic waves could bring him a lot of benefits at this stage.

In Adam's expectation, the benefits would be very high, perhaps not less than the value of electric elements for civilian use.

Adam himself was trying to create a spell that could make it easier to observe the wavelength and frequency of electromagnetic waves based on the knowledge he obtained.

Time passed quickly. The one month that Mage Meredith promised was coming to an end. Just when Adam was immersed in the creation of spells, Mage Meredith came to the laboratory again.

The Devil hid in Adam's mind with a whoosh. It still did not have the courage to face the Mage.

In the hall, the Mage looked at Adam and said in amazement, "It's only been a month, and you seem to have become stronger?"

Adam said casually, "There was a breakthrough in my research. Sir, is the modification complete?"

Mage Meredith reached out and pointed at the void. The portal flashed and disappeared. Then she opened her palm to Adam, and a pocket-sized dragon appeared in front of Adam.

"Of course it's done. The modification was very successful. The creature core and the elemental body are perfectly compatible. This little guy is now equivalent to a level-three creature. After a period of natural growth, it will become a level-four creature."

Adam reached out and took the little dragon. A huge amount of energy came from the small body. This energy was very obedient. Adam felt that he could easily control it.

He could not help but ask, "How did it become so small?"

"This little guy is very talented. After the modification, the elemental body will be permanent. According to your request, I designed two forms for it …"
