Chapter 203 What Did the Magic Tide Bring?

The unanimous questioning of Gawain and Hetty shortened Rebecca’s neck by two-thirds visible to the naked eye—Gawain even thought that if his tone were more severe, this girl might be able to perform a live performance. Never survive.

But no matter how shrunk the neck is, the explanation still has to be explained. Rebecca carefully looked at the two elders who were qualified to hang herself up and fight, and said honestly: "Don't blame me... I was researching runes before. The hospital was testing a new type of detonating substrate, and my aunt suddenly asked me to come over to help with the experiment, so I just put the detonating substrate in my pocket—and then put it on the test bench when I got here…”

"...You didn't have a safety rule when you were doing magic experiments?" Gawain looked at Hetty with a beating corner of his eyes, "Can such dangerous things be put directly on the test bench?"

In his opinion, Rebecca's operation is almost the same as welding a detonator and sawing a light bulb. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Of course there are safety regulations!" Heidi immediately corrected the names of the magicians, but then turned her head a little embarrassedly, "But Rebecca... I haven't allowed her to get close to the laboratory since I was a child, so in this regard she The lack of common sense is my education problem."

"Institutionalization is really going to go deep into all aspects, especially the magic laboratory. You can't participate in experiments without receiving complete safety rules education," Gawain shook his head and sighed, "Fortunately, it's just a detonating rune, and it's not very powerful in itself. …”

"But it stands to reason that this is not dangerous," Rebecca said a little aggrieved, "although it is the detonating rune substrate, this thing is only a static rune group before it comes into contact with the magic power source. An iron plate engraved with patterns makes no difference, how could it explode..."

Gao Wen frowned when he heard the words, he knew that what Rebecca said was fine. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

The detonating rune is different from the detonator on the earth. The latter itself has a certain risk of explosion, but the detonating rune itself... will not explode.

There is no energy storage structure in it. If this thing wants to explode, it must be combined with a carrier that stores magic power. This is why it is far safer than earth explosives such as detonators in Gawain's eyes.

So since it blew up, there was only one explanation: there was magic power of high purity enough to detonate near it at that time.

"It should be related to the new ore." Gawain looked at the untested sample ores stacked in the other corner of the experimental platform. These ores were cut into fist-sized pieces, each with a slightly floating magic material. the luster, "Hetty, have you tested whether they can store magic power?"

"There is no such property. Although they have excellent magic guidance, they are completely unable to store magic power. The degree of dissipation in this respect is similar to that of purple steel or red copper," Hetty shook his head. "Could it be that strange magic field?"&1t ;i>&1t;/i>

This new ore has many strange properties, such as when it is about to inject magic power, it will "swing" magic power into the air at nearly the same speed, and if two ores are in close proximity, they will do this at the same time." wave", then the magic power will not dissipate immediately, but will form a peculiar "field", this cohesive magic field seems to have some unknown effect in the eyes of both Gawain and Hetty.

Perhaps... it was the magic field that activated the detonating rune.

"It's very possible," Gawain nodded, "Hetty, try to excite that magic field again, Rebecca, do you have any extra detonating runes?"

"Yes, yes!" Rebecca nodded happily, and then took it out from her mage robe—she took out a long cloth bag and poured it on the table, it was a lot of crackling The rune board, she picked from the pile of boards, "Let me see... the hot ray, the small fireball, the detonation, the detonation, the detonation... these are all for the detonation. !" &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Gao Wen was stunned as he watched this silly roe deer take out a lot of explosives, and immediately broke into a cold sweat: "You always carry these things with you?!"

"It's not all the time. I've been doing the induction and simplification of the magic circle with Jenny these two days, so I brought some substrates with me."

"...In the future, you'd better search her body before Rebecca enters the laboratory," Gawain's eyes jumped, and he looked at Heidi with a very serious look, "Isn't this kid so old that he didn't blow himself up? Have you been?"

Heidi's expression was also a little subtle: "It's really strange, she has always been the only one who bombed others. She has been dealing with big fireballs all day long, and she has never bombed herself by mistake, at most her face has been blackened - this It's rare among mages who often hurt themselves during their apprenticeship."

Gawain blew cold sweat and signaled that the experiment could continue - but before starting, he ordered Rebecca to throw all the excess detonating rune substrates far enough away from the experimental bench. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Although the power of the simple detonating substrate to explode in the magic field seems to be very small, and it only has some pyrotechnic effects at most, but God knows if this silly roe deer will have any explosive catalytic halo. Hanged from a flagpole and beaten...

After everything was ready, Hetty placed the detonating rune board on a protective magic circle, and then placed two new ore at a certain distance from the rune board, and then she placed her hand on the two ore. , and start pouring magic into them.

The two ores shone slightly, and Gawain could feel that a magic field was indeed generated during this process.

In his magical vision, centered on two ores, an "environment" with an intensity significantly higher than the magical background radiation quickly formed, and filled the entire laboratory - it may even extend to a wide area outside the laboratory, And the brilliance of magic shone in this area, flickering on and off, erratic: obviously, it was very unstable, as Hetty said. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Turning off the magic vision, Gawain looked at the detonating rune substrate placed on the protective magic circle.

It doesn't change.

"It doesn't seem to respond?" Rebecca scratched her head, "Is this board broken?"

Hetty ended the release of magic power, and the three heads joined together to study why the "detonator" didn't explode.

Gawain remembered the details described by Rebecca before: "Did you just say that before the detonation substrate explodes, you also have a piece of ore ready to input magic power?"

"Yeah, and it's lit up a bit."

"The problem should be here," Gawain nodded. "That extra piece of ore probably played a special role. Find a piece of ore and put it together with the detonating base plate, and bring it closer."

After everything was arranged properly, Heidi turned on the peculiar magic field again. &1t;i>&1t;/i>

Almost at the moment when the magic field appeared, the detonating substrate placed in the protective magic circle turned into a bright fireball along with the ore next to it.

"Sure enough, this is it!" Rebecca suddenly jumped up happily, "It's the resonance! This must be the resonance!"

"When two such ores are input magic power at the same time, a magic field will be generated, and will the third ore in the magic field resonate at the same time..." Hetty frowned slightly, analyzing the characteristics of these stones, and pressing Then he looked at the remaining samples stacked in the corner, "But these things are also in the magic field, why haven't they changed?"

"Maybe it's not resonance, but some kind of... magic transfer," Gawain took a breath, suppressed the excessive excitement in his heart, and slowly expressed his guess, "It can only be connected to the rune board or the magic circle. Ores that are together only change because they have 'energy-consuming units', and energy flows within them, while other ores naturally do not change because they have no next-level structure that consumes energy." &1t; i>&1t;/i>

"Transfer of magic power? You mean transmission?" Hetty looked at the unremarkable stones in astonishment. "This is really... interesting stuff."

"Their application prospects are very broad," Gawain looked into Hetty's eyes. "If this thing can be purified and mass-produced, perhaps our magic net system can be expanded to an incredible scale! The transmission range of magic power will be greatly expanded. , and even beyond the territory!"

Heidi frowned slightly: "But now the magic field it generates is too unstable. Detonating a rune substrate doesn't require too stable magic, but driving those magic machines is different."

"So we need to continue our research and find a way to make it stable," Gawain said solemnly, "not only to be stable, but also to be controllable. How much of this ore is there?"

"According to the estimation of the exploration team, the number is quite large. There is a large weathered area in the eastern extension of the Dark Mountain Range, and all those loose and fragile stone layers are full of this strange new type of ore."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"The new variety of ore..." Gawain touched his chin, "The Rebecca crystal was fired before, only the special limestone from the Dark Mountains can form that kind of crystal, and Pittman also found medicinal herbs with completely special effects in the mountain. …”

"I remember the ancestors you said that it was the corruption of the magic tide on the natural environment that caused many ordinary mineral plants to change their properties," Hetty said, "and you also guessed that similar new resources in the southern foothills of the Dark Mountains There will be more..."

"This is not the corruption of the magic tide, this is a gift of nature," Gawain corrected solemnly, and then put his eyes out of the window-through the window in this direction, he could just see a small part of the dark mountain range, "I will go to the excavation site of the new ore. The so-called tide of destruction... It seems that it has brought more things to this world than imagined."

While Gawain, Heidi, and Rebecca were researching the new dark mountain ore, another team was also active in the depths of the dark mountain.

Strictly speaking, it is active in the depths of the mountain ruins.

Knight Byron and the exploration team he led have been active in this newly emerging area for a week. They have drawn a detailed new map, recorded all kinds of new things, and sent two messengers to communicate with the outside world. After exploring the progress and getting a reply, Byron believes that this exploration has achieved very good results. Considering that the soldiers will accumulate pressure after staying in the underground ruins for a long time, he judges that it is time to leave this place.

But just as he was sorting out the accumulated information and preparing to arrange a return trip, the two soldiers who were in charge of going to the front to investigate the situation suddenly ran back to the room that was temporarily used as an exploration base: "Sir, we found a... strange in front of us. place!"

"A strange place?" Byron frowned. The two soldiers were veterans, and they had followed him to explore it for a long time. They rarely reported the situation in such a vague way, which made it difficult for them to report the situation. He was quite concerned.

"Yes, that is... a rotunda, but there is a strange stone ring in the center of the hall..."
