Adam was silent for a moment, then looked at Mage Irene and said, "Then, can I conduct my own research on the electric element in the Psychic Energy Research Laboratory?"
"Of course, that is your freedom. However, the academy will not provide any support for your additional projects. In other words, all the materials and equipment you need for your experiments will have to be purchased from the tower according to the original price, and you will have to bear the cost of the experiments yourself. "
Adam breathed a sigh of relief. This wasn't something he couldn't accept. In his expectations, the initial experiments didn't require any large scale equipment, and it wouldn't incur too much cost. If everything went smoothly, he could obtain some results before moving on to more profound experiments. Presumably, the academy wouldn't reject his application at that time.
At this time, the benefits of being the founder of a laboratory were shown. If he did not choose to build a laboratory at that time, today's problem would not have been solved so easily.
After returning to the laboratory, James and Frank gladly accepted this result. This way, the framework of the laboratory would still be the same as the one used for the Psychic Energy Research Laboratory. At most, the space would be increased to accommodate new equipment.
Adam did not care about the thoughts of the two. He hired an alchemy puppet to add a room for the laboratory.
This was a silver room that was completely built with metal that could be used as a good conductor. This was a magical metal called mithril. It was expensive in ancient times, but now it was just a common material. Not only did it have excellent plasticity, but it could also be used to conduct most energy with low loss. The reason why Adam chose it was because on Earth, silver had the strongest conductivity.
This job was another blow to his already stretched bank account.
The following days could be said to be peaceful. The Psychic Energy Research Laboratory did not have any changes due to the introduction of electric element research by the leader. At least, James and Frank did not feel it.
They had once entered the silver room and found Adam sitting there doing something they did not understand.
"What is Adam doing? Using cloth to rub glass, using fur to rub rubber? What is the meaning of this? "James was puzzled.
Frank could not explain this either. In his impression, elemental research should be accompanied by a large number of elemental phenomena. This was also the reason for the frequent accidents in the elemental research laboratory. However, in Adam's laboratory, he could not feel the presence of the electric element at all.
The two did not know what Adam was doing, but Adam still continued this monotonous process for two months. In these two months, the room was filled with all kinds of cloth and fur. Adam was like a madman, rubbing and rubbing, rubbing and rubbing, day and night, and from time to time, he would record the complete information he obtained, not to miss any details.
In these two months, Adam found that his previous ideas were too simple. Theories could not be used just because one knew them. For example, he could directly say a lot of basic formulas and theorems about electricity, but this world would not recognize them. If he wanted to gain power through theory, he would have to incorporate Ether and magic into it step by step, so that his soul would recognize and understand the knowledge he expressed.
This was very difficult. Adam had used nearly two months to verify just the electric friction theory.
After another two months, Adam finally wrote a conclusion after a thick experimental report: In the Ether environment, the electric friction theory was still valid (the concept was not used to make up the number of words). He also made a further inference: since the world was composed of Ether, the existence of Ether was in a state of being canceled out without the help of the spiritual power. In other words, the element that affected the elements was the secondary energy formed by the interaction between the spiritual power and Ether — magic.
The demon had been living a very comfortable life these days. After obtaining a huge amount of negative energy, part of its body had gained the ability to materialize. Hence, it had gained the feeling that it was a living creature made of flesh and blood. Therefore, it followed Elliot to all kinds of places almost every day. Normal acolytes could not tell its whereabouts, but all the mages knew that it was a contracted creature. As long as it did not use its bewitching ability in the academy, no mages would pay any attention to it. If it were not for the fact that it would occasionally return to Adam to show off its presence, Adam might have even forgotten about its existence.
"Master, you've already wasted almost five months." It looked at Adam's experiment with disdain. "What's the point? Well, I admit that friction can produce electric elements, but what's the use? There's no power to speak of. "
Adam corrected it seriously. "It's not production, it's the transfer of the original electric charge."
The Devil snorted and took out a cigarette from nowhere and began to smoke. "Well, well, it's original, but what's the use of it?" The Devil floated to the front, reached out and held the glass rod and the rubber rod, and then said to Adam, "See, it's useless."
Adam did not argue with it. Instead, he took out a few materials from his dimensional pocket and made two simple Leiden Bottles, and stored two kinds of electric charges in the Leiden Bottles. Then he called James and Frank in.
"Psychokinetic defense, and then hold these two bottles and face the Devil."
The two of them did not know what was going on, but as assistants and test subjects, it was their duty to assist the experiment leader in the experiment. The Devil, on the other hand, felt that something was wrong, but its disdainful words were still on the tip of its tongue. It forced itself to look at the two of them.
With a slight explosion and a flash of sparks, an electric shock hit the Devil. Although the Devil was prepared in advance, it did not cause any damage, but the Devil was stunned. Was it really useful?
James and Frank were equally shocked. In the magician's plane, ordinary people enjoyed the technological black box of magic and did not know the principles behind it. The magicians were used to the convenience brought by magic and had never thought of using the elements in this way. The scene just now caused a storm in their hearts.
"What's going on?"
Adam's eyes flashed. He first restrained the Devil in place, and then ordered the two of them, "Continue, don't stop."
Then, a series of explosions and electric sparks appeared in the silver room. The Devil was reluctant at first, but when it realized that the weak electricity could not hurt it, it let it be.
The two of them and the Devil repeated the monotonous experiment in the laboratory for two days. During these two days, Adam looked at the electric sparks and electric sparks in a daze without saying a word. He felt that he was about to understand something.
On the third day, Adam stopped the experiment and waved the three of them away without saying a word. The three of them were already exhausted and hurried out of the laboratory.
"What is Adam trying to do?" James was puzzled.
"Although the experiment just now produced electricity, but …" Frank was too embarrassed to say anything useless, but in his heart, any acolyte who had mastered the runes could easily cast a spell that was thousands of times more powerful than normal magic spells.
"Just treat it as if he's crazy. I have something to do, so I'll leave first." The Devil fiercely spat a few times and rushed out of the laboratory. It had not enjoyed life for a few days.
Adam was the only one left in the silver room. He sat in front of the recorder and watched the experiment over and over again. He felt that the light in his heart was getting brighter and brighter, but there was still a little bit left, just a little bit left …
Three days later, Adam suddenly cast the strongest electric spell he could cast at the current stage. He poured out his mana without holding back, and one after another lightning struck the mithril room. The lightning kept flowing in the excellent conductor and did not dissipate for a long time.
The crackling electric sparks escaped from the walls and destroyed all the instruments in the experiment. The electric sparks produced by the collision bloomed in front of Adam's eyes again and again.
He scattered his defense like crazy and let the lightning strike and penetrate his body. As his injuries worsened, his eyes became brighter and brighter.
Frank and James outside the door did not know what Adam was doing, but they could feel that the energy waves in the laboratory had exceeded the range of an apprentice's defense. Even Adam would die if he stayed in there for a long time.
An alarm sounded in the laboratory. "Attention, high energy reaction detected. Danger!"
Frank used his mechanical arm to hold the door handle, but in the next second, he was bounced back by a strong electric current. The electric current was transmitted through the mechanical arm to his entire body. He knelt on the ground in pain and did not recover for a long time.
James looked at Frank's miserable state and gave up the idea of breaking the door. He could only look at the door worriedly.
"The energy reaction is too strong. If this continues, the laboratory will not be able to hold on!" James said anxiously.
Every laboratory was equipped with an energy index lamp that constantly flashed red. The red light gradually merged into one. James knew that when the red light was lit up, the laboratory would explode.
"Damn it!" He cursed and pulled Frank up. Ignoring the discomfort of the electric current, he carried him out of the laboratory. As for Adam's safety, it was no longer his concern.
In the mithril room, Adam was covered in cuts and bruises. His body was covered in electric scars, but he did not care. He was still looking at everything.
Adam suddenly lowered his electric potential. Suddenly, the electric current crazily rushed towards him and was about to drown him.
At this critical moment, Adam closed his eyes. Psychokinetic energy flowed out of his body and interacted with Ether. Mana filled his body. He stretched out his finger and started to move Psychokinetic energy. He began to write runes in the air.
Every line of the runes was very difficult to write, but the completed runes had a natural beauty. The huge electric element was getting closer and closer to Adam. Adam's writing speed was getting faster and faster. Finally, a series of runes were completed in the air and entered Adam's soul.
Adam did not put down his finger. Instead, he pointed it in front of him. The electric current in the sky suddenly disappeared.
At the same time, the ear-piercing alarm and red light subsided.
