Chapter 666 Let’s Do Hand X-Ray Together

X-ray?

Hand, hand bones, rays?

The first thing that popped into Gretel's mind was that famous photo in the history of science. What jumped out next was a lot of messy information:

Radiation, cancer, hematopoietic dysfunction, cataract, cardiovascular disease... Imaging department, radiation leave, radiation allowance...

Next to my ears, there was a clicking sound, as if the sound of a Geiger counter was ringing...

Grete really wanted to escape from the room immediately, get himself a lead suit, and then take out a Geiger counter to test it. After trying to calm down for a few moments, I regained my train of thought:

Don't be too nervous, it can penetrate wood and stone, but it will be blocked by lead, not just X-rays. X-rays are not the only thing that can see bones through the body...

At least, the first application he developed when he just traveled through time, using [Detection Magic] to see bone structure, had similar properties...

Grete took two deep breaths and tried to calm down. He tentatively asked Cerela:

"Can you see the ray you created by using magic, um, [detection magic] for example?"

"What?"

Miss Yinlong opened her eyes wide in surprise:

"Why do you need to use [Detection Magic] to see? I can see it directly! Oh, okay, I'll try again..."

She raised her hand a second time. Gretel suddenly jumped away:

"Don't point it at me! No, don't point it at other people! Serira, please remember, from now on, unless there is a special need, never point this ray at people!"

"Oh... Okay." Cerela replied sadly, the tips of her ears tending to droop a little. She turned in one direction, making sure her palms were facing the wall, and turned to look at Gretel:

"Are you ready? One, two, three!"

Grete opened his meditation horizon at the right time. The field of vision was empty, with no sign of anything lighting up. He looked at Cerela inquiringly, and Cerela also shook her head:

"It's better to see clearly directly, using meditation vision, tsk..."

Okay then, it seems that the ray created by Cerera and the magic feedback seen by [Detect Magic] are not the same thing at all. As for how to determine, is the ray created by Serira the X-ray...

"Mr. Norwood!" Grete once again called the transformation mage in the mage tower, the omnipotent Party B, the fifth-level mage Mr. Norwood:

"Do me a favor and get a high-voltage vacuum tube..."

For artificial X-rays, Gretel specially set aside a room on the bottom floor of the Mage Tower, next to the morgue.

Master Norwood was responsible for shaping the glass tube, installing a spiral-shaped fine gold wire on one end that seemed closest to tungsten in nature, and a fine gold sheet on the other end;

As a magician of the plasticity department, Aurora was responsible for vacuuming the glass tube as much as possible, and then asked Master Norwood to seal the glass tube;

Then, Master Norwood connected the adamantine wire to the wires in the wizard tower, making it hot and red. Aurora was eager to try and grabbed the wires connected to both ends of the vacuum tube:

"Just discharge it, right? Just discharge it, right? Let me give it a try—"

"etc!"

Gretel raised his hand. The two invisible servants in the mage tower worked together to move a box of lead sheets. Master Norwood deployed his mental power and quickly shaped it, shielding the lead sheet between the vacuum tube and the crowd. Gretel was relieved:

"Okay. Would you like to try it?"

Aurora closed her eyes and concentrated. Lightning jumped from her fingertips and poured into the glass tube through the wires. At the same time, he turned his head to the right and looked at Cerela hopefully.

Cerira revealed one eye from behind the lead sheet and stared at the vacuum tube. After looking at it for a while, he shook his head very firmly:

"I didn't see it at all!"

"this"

Gretel was wiping sweat on the edge. No matter how many times I have seen this research method of rubbing vacuum tubes by hand and manually discharging them, I still feel unaccustomed to it...

But the vacuum tube discharge should be right. Every step is strictly in accordance with the description in "Medical Physics":

The vacuum tube heats the cathode to release hot electrons, and then applies high-voltage direct current to the anode and cathode of the vacuum tube, causing the cathode's electron flow to hit the anode target, causing the target to emit x-rays...

Is the vacuum tube not properly evacuated?

Or is the high pressure not enough?

Or maybe the cathode isn't burning hot enough to release enough hot electrons?

Grete led everyone to repeatedly revise the experimental design. Increase the current, heat the cathode wire, and reheat it. [Dark Vision] The images seen became increasingly red, and finally, red could also be seen with the naked eye, and then——

"Snapped!"

The wire burned and the vacuum tube exploded...

Well, it seems that the vacuum is not enough, otherwise it will not burn. Gretel asked Aurora to empty the vacuum tube a little more, and then empty it a little more——

"Snapped!"

The vacuum tube is broken...

"This... thicken the pipe wall... make the glass tube stronger... Mr. Norwood, please..."

"Snapped!"

Pull it again and it will break again——

Relying on the method of adding water when there is too much noodles, and adding noodles when there is too much water, Gretel finally got a glass tube that exhausted Aurora's mental power and could not be vacuumed any more. Then, turn on the electricity and heat the fine gold wire until it can no longer be heated:

"Aurora, power on—"

Aurora Wharton struggled to muster her mental strength.

The fingertips of this evocation mage who was already at level six and was striving to sprint towards level seven, had unprecedented brilliant lightning dancing on his fingertips.

Even the brilliant blond hair that had not been cut short for a long time exploded in the electric light. At a glance, it looks like a lion with fried hair, oh no, like a golden retriever...

If Gretel had a camera and was in the mood, he would definitely take a picture of the scene in front of him. But he was not in the mood at all now. He just looked at Cerela expectantly, waiting for the eldest lady to give her answer:

"Hmm... It seems there is a little bit, but not much. It's less than the bit illuminated by the star dome. If you don't pay attention, you really can't see it..."

"Then what should we do? Gretel, is there any direction that needs improvement?"

In the basement, two magicians and a silver dragon stared at Gretel. Gretel scratched his head:

"So...is it still a problem with the voltage? The voltage needs to be a little higher..."

In my impression, the high voltage applied between the yin and yang poles of a medical X-ray machine seems to be tens to hundreds of kilovolts...

"I really can't help it!" Aurora screamed. It can't get any higher! If it's any higher, his mental strength won't be able to hold it anymore!

"You don't need to." Gretel shook his head. To increase the voltage, there are two ideas: one is to get a transformer to increase the voltage from 220 volts to 220 kilovolts; the other is...

Looking for the Lord of Thunder?

Sin, sin, that's the teacher, not the human flesh generator...

Of course, the Lord of Thunder is in retreat and cannot be delayed for the time being. Grete changed his mind and went directly to Human Flesh Generator No. 2, the senior sister who studies electromagnetic direction, Archmage Philbi:

"Senior Sister, please help me! Cerela has discovered something strange, and we are trying to reproduce it...it is a strange ray in the sun, which may be related to the plasticity system!"

"Since it is a ray in the sun, why don't you call me?"

When he turned around, Archmage Baierbo stood behind him with a smile and his arms folded across his chest.
