Chapter 775 Shielding Suit? Hide the Patent or Sell It? (10,000 Rewards Plus 7 Updates)
Grete held the gem in his pocket and stayed with the last person honestly, listening to the reports from his brothers and sisters on their recent research. In the palm of his hand, the heavy warmth and vitality kept reminding him:
The use of mental power still needs to be practiced, and it needs to be practiced all the time. This time it’s the lightning maze. The next time the teacher catches me not practicing properly, I won’t be able to tell what kind of maze it will be——
It might be fire, ice, light, lightning, acid, sound waves, force fields, multiple types of attacks, surrounding him from all sides, watching him rolling and crawling. By then, there will be no such thing as a shielding suit...
"Gretel!"
"Ah? Teacher?"
"What's going on with your clothes? It doesn't have any spell fluctuations and can resist 2-ring electrical magic - why didn't I see your paper?"
"This is very simple..."
The teacher's eyes glanced over like cold lightning. Grete quickly changed his words:
"Okay, teacher, I'll write it as soon as possible! I'll hand it in at the regular meeting next week!"
That's it, another article has been added to the to-do list... I don't know if the teacher will be angry if Aurora writes this paper... By the way, what is the principle of the Faraday cage?
Equal potential?
The concept of electric potential, how far has research progressed in the world?
As soon as the regular meeting was over, Grete exited the teacher's office and stuck directly next to Senior Sister Philby. Following each step, every one of Senior Sister's disciples was pushed to the back by him.
"What's the matter? You want me to write for you? That's not possible~~~" Senior Sister glanced over leisurely, her eyes changing, and she seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Grete shamelessly took another step closer:
"Senior sister~~~Please give me some extra theory lessons! Don't you want these clothes? Do you really don't want them?"
There is no magic fluctuation, but it can resist the second-ring lightning magic! What magician wouldn't want that? In case the magic defense is broken, this is the last line of defense!
"Don't want to. Ugly."
Senior Sister answered straightforwardly. The tone was so crisp and sharp that Gretel's eyes went dark:
"..."
How ugly is it!
How ugly!
Although it is not in the form of a robe that magicians are accustomed to, but the top and trousers are separated into two parts, it looks like it is worn by workers doing manual labor;
The tailoring does not tighten the waist or flatter the body shape at all. It is round and chubby, and the whole person looks fatter when wearing it;
No dyeing, no embroidery, no pockets, buttons, chains or any decorations. The whole thing is gray, not much different from the linen clothes worn by the poor...
Okay, it's really ugly. But these are functional clothes, not decorative. Senior sister, you can't use fashion requirements to block it!
"So little Gretel, what is the purpose of this dress?" Senior Brother Byerbo's smiling voice floated from afar:
"Don't listen to your senior sister, she won't talk, I will. If this thing is easy to make and everyone can have one, then give each of those guys one piece. At least it can stop them from committing suicide, right?"
"Hello!"
The two archmages turned and glared at each other. Crack, crackle, crackle, sparks exploded quietly. Gretel lowered his head silently and stood aside:
This thing is so simple to make!
Don't hold me back!
If you two archmages above level 16 start a PK on the spot, I won’t be able to stop you!
In the end, Archmage Philby coerced Gretel into her laboratory on the grounds that "I am electromagnetic, and studying electrical spells is my specialty." The senior fellow apprentice, on the other hand, faced Archmage Philbi's eyes and followed him swaggeringly:
After taking off Gretel's shielding suit, Archmage Philby couldn't wait and pointed at it. Sizzling, lightning is flowing. The two great mages stood side by side, one on the left and the other on the right, their eyes lighting up at the same time.
Gretel also learned from them, letting go of his mental power to feel the lightning flowing on the shielding suit.
In the induction of mental power, powerful electric energy surged out from the Archmage's fingertips, fell on the shielding suit, and immediately turned into thousands of strands and spread out. Follow the thin silver threads in the fabric and flow into every corner of the clothes.
Then, it circled on the silver thread, but not a bit leaked to the inside.
Two sharp eyes fell on Gretel. Gretel quickly raised his hand:
"I said, I said. The principle is-"
"You don't need to explain the principle!" Senior brothers and sisters said in unison:
"Tell me what to do!"
"Okay, okay...actually, it is made of very thin silver wire mixed with flame-retardant fiber - I used asbestos silk - to make a piece of clothing." Gretel quickly explained the method:
"Connect them all on clothes, pants, shoes, hoods, everywhere. Try to connect as many connections as possible so that the current can be evenly distributed to every place."
"It seems quite convenient."
"Yes, and it doesn't use much silver wire." Archmage Philbi waved her hand, and the mage's hand flew over, picked up the protective suit and weighed it:
"It's not too heavy. The whole suit only weighs a little more than four pounds. The silver thread used in it is less than half... um..."
Two pounds of silver is equivalent to thirty or forty silver coins. The laboratory can still afford this amount of money. Not to mention that the laboratory can afford it, everyone can afford the magician who is qualified to enter the Archmage's laboratory.
As for asbestos silk, ha, that counts as money?
Gretel shook his head slightly. The principle of the shielding suit is not difficult - of course, how to write it is another matter - the design is also simple. However, the technical difficulties involved in making the finished product are another matter.
"The key is that the silver wire must be pure. If there are impurities, the resistance will be high. And it must be drawn very thin and evenly. As long as it is uneven, the resistance will be different. The same current will have different voltages. If they are different, it will easily break down. …”
Archmage Philby frowned slightly and suddenly waved. From somewhere nearby, a silver cup flew over. During the flight, it quickly deformed and softened. Pull out a hair-thick silver wire and connect one end to the mouth of the cup and the other to the foot.
There are about ten roots that are smooth and uniform, and there are about ten roots that are lumpy and uneven in thickness. Obviously, the Archmage deliberately controlled it for comparison.
A scream sounded in the distance:
"My cup! Ah, teacher..."
He stopped shouting in the middle of the call. Archmage Philby seemed to be unknown. She waved her hand again, and an electric bead flew out from her fingertips. It split into small beads in mid-air and dripped on each silver thread.
The lightning flashed past instantly. The Archmage stared at the current without blinking and nodded slightly:
"You're right. The silver wire is stretched unevenly. As long as the diameter difference exceeds one-tenth, there will be obvious differences. Tsk, such a thin silver wire..."
"I asked Master Norwood, the fifth-level transformation mage in our Mage Tower, to do it for me." Grete added the explanation in due course:
"If we want low-level alchemists or even ordinary people to participate in the production, the required processing accuracy will be greatly improved. Maybe we need to talk to the Alchemy Guild..."
The two archmages frowned at the same time. Master Norwood is a follower of Gretel, so it is normal to help him make something casually without charging money. However, it is impossible to make large quantities of shielding suits for the Lord of Thunder without charging money.
Let a fifth-level transformation mage do this with his own hands?
Can the laboratory's finances support it? Or should we let these magicians think a little better and put up their defenses? If they don't put up their defenses, they deserve to be electrocuted?
Gretel turned his head silently. If the shielding suit made by Master Norwood is based on the cost of a fifth-level mage, a set of 500 gold coins is a friendly price. Mass production can reach two to three hundred gold coins, but it cannot go any lower.
It can be exchanged for a 500-kilovolt high-voltage shielding suit in the previous life, which costs two to three thousand yuan a set. It's lighter than it is, it can handle higher voltage than it is, and it lasts longer than it...
The power of large-scale industrialization is really more powerful than workshop-style small handicraft industry. There are so many!
"Actually, not only does this kind of silver thread have to be stretched very thin, but it also doesn't last long." Gretel continued to pour cold water on them:
"Silver is easy to oxidize. Once oxidized, the resistance will not meet the standard. When the resistance is high, heat will be generated when current passes through, and it will burn quickly. Even if it does not burn, it will not have a shielding effect."
Moreover, the thinner the silver wire, the larger the specific surface area. The larger the specific surface area, the faster the overall material oxidizes...
"My shielding suit was just made last week. I made two pieces together. The first one was for a doll and an experimental animal. After a round of testing, Aurora and I finished a round of attacks. I used it. Later I found out that the silver wire was too thin and it broke."
The two archmages looked at each other, and then let out a long sigh. Archmage Philby spread her hands:
"Then forget it. Little Gretel, don't you want to hear the principles of electric spells? Come on!"
Grete moved a stool, listened obediently, and returned with a head full of spells, elements, and magic circles. Thank God, in this world, we already have the concept of "electric potential"——
Although the understanding of magicians is that the lightning falling from the sky is falling from a relatively high potential energy to a relatively low potential energy. Powerful lightning magicians can directly sense it with their mental power.
It's like they sense the electric potential on the shield suit. When a beam of current falls, a uniform and stable electric field can be achieved on every silver wire of the entire shielding suit in an instant.
Gretel put away the shielding suit, happily said goodbye and left. Thanks to my senior sister’s explanation, this paper can be submitted in two days! It doesn’t take a week!
Senior sister is a great person! It saved him a lot of time searching for information!
He swayed, his feet were light, almost humming a tune. In the laboratory, the two archmages looked at each other for a while and discussed in low voices:
"Do you recommend that he publish this paper?"
"...I think it's better not to do it. It's too weakened for our Thunder Horn, especially the thunder branch. The second-level spell is immediately useless! It's silent, there is no spell fluctuation, and you can't even defend it!" "
"I think it doesn't matter if you take it out. Just like Little Gretel said, the cost is too high and it's too easy to be invalidated. What if we just let them explore slowly?"
"No, we are all our own people. Or, can we publish the paper and inform the parliament privately?"
"Forget it... let's ask the teacher to persuade him not to publish the paper. As for the loss, can each of us make up for it?"
