Chapter 1040:

Xia Duo was very satisfied with the result of the constant technique test of the statue material. There were few obstacles to the link of the string of the magic net, and there were many nodes for linking or energy flow.
Perhaps this material was specifically sought by the ancient Saruk witch for constant magic.
It is now difficult for Xia Duo to imagine how the ancient race found this kind of material from the almost vast array of earth element transformation products.
But he just used the ready-made one.
In fact, if it is just for constant magic, then any material can be used, even a dead branch or a stone picked up in the forest.
But if you want to make the constant magic more stable and longer, you need to find some suitable materials.
The method of making iron stones includes the process of searching for materials. In addition, the different forms of iron stones with different functions are also to match the different linking methods of different magics at a constant time to make the finished product more stable.

"Make a sample first!"
As Xia Duo made a decision, the bloodline power immediately responded, and a huge water ball appeared in the alchemy laboratory out of thin air.
This is not an elemental illusion, but real water.
Among the four elements, only the water element can manifest pure water, and the rest are like the earth element. The manifested substances are almost all-encompassing and have no fixed formula, or more generally speaking, there are too many impurities.
For example, the fire element does not even have a physical form of manifestation. If the concentration of the fire element is too high, it will only ignite or heat the normal matter nearby. No matter how high it is, it may open the passage to the plane of the fire element.
The wind element, or the air element, is also similar to the earth element and is not pure.
As for the positive and negative energies, their essence can be regarded as the generation and demise of the four elements, and there is no concrete manifestation.
Although Xia Duo can use a large piece of wood to transform the stone, the wood is not a dense structure, and the quality of the transformed stone may be compromised.
In addition, the wood needs to be moved outside the warehouse or the Tower of Time, and water is readily available, so he first tried to transform it with water.
First use the bloodline ability to control the elongation of the water polo into a cylindrical shape, and then
6th Ring [Elemental Transformation·Earth]
This spell is not the original version on the Saruk witch statue, but a petrified spell compiled by Chateau after studying the statue and the petrified samples of Jabbas and his son.
Some of the elements are consistent with the statue. If he knows the elemental essence of Mithril, he can even directly transform Mithril through this spell!
In fact, [the ability to transform a substance] and [the ability to transform a specific substance on demand] are completely two concepts.
This is actually very similar to the material science on the earth. Humans can often find some weird formulas to produce materials with various special functions.
But if you want to determine the properties of the material first, and then find the composition formula, it will be much more difficult.
In the magical world, the foundation of matter is the element. As long as the elemental essence of matter can be penetrated, then the material world (in a narrow sense) has no secrets.
Obviously, this is a systematic and difficult research topic. Xia Duo's research on element transformation is still very simple and has not reached this level.
Human energy is limited and must be chosen, but the potential of civilization is unlimited. In the future, it may be possible to establish relevant research institutions to conduct organized and planned systematic research.
Forget it now, even if something is really researched out, it may not bring benefits, but disasters.
With the current social state of Netheril and even the northern elven kingdoms, no matter which party has mastered the mystery of the essence of the element, it is a curse or a blessing.
……Xia Ke Fiction Net
In an alchemy laboratory on the public floor of the Tower of Time, Xia Duo silently looked at the blue-black stone pillar with a thick waist in front of him, but the height was higher than one end of him.
"It seems that the Saruk witch statue should have been in the ground for so long that it turned into almost 100% pure black!"
But the color is not the point. There are too many magic to change the color. What he really cares about is the nature of this new material.
Regardless of waiting for the last week, when the stone pillar was completely stabilized, Xia Duo immediately began a new round of constant testing.
First check the open nodes used to link the strings of the magic net and to divert elemental energy. This work only needs to be directly seen and the result can be obtained under the magical vision.
The most essential difference between ordinary matter and creature in the magic net is that there is a natural closed loop in the connection between the creature and the magic net string, while the general matter is allowed to pass through the magic net string, which is regarded as a completely open node.
The number of nodes is related to the number of strings that can be linked to the magic net, or the complexity of a constant spell.
For creatures, especially humans, the number of open nodes determines the number of magical equipment that can be linked and synchronized, as well as the complexity of the spells that are constant in itself.
Magic items with passive characteristics such as robe, basically need to be linked to itself before they can be effective.
As for magic items such as ordinary spellbooks, fireball rings, wands, and wands, which only have active use functions, most of them do not need to be linked and can be used at the same time, and there is no limit to the number of simultaneous carrying or even simultaneous use. .

Xia Duo only glanced, and saw that the open node of the blue-black stone pillar in front of him had surpassed himself. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com. This also means that this stone pillar is theoretically an excellent constant magic base material.
In theory, it is out of rigor, after all, it has not yet passed the constant test.
Although it is proofing, and the statue samples have been tested before, the necessary procedures are still indispensable. This is because Xia Duo is consciously cultivating her magical qualities.
After a simple but rigorous constant test, he finally determined that this stone pillar is very suitable as a base material for constant magic.
However, since the materiality of the stone pillar has not been completely stabilized after the transformation, after the test, the stone pillar began to reverse.
The surface became pitted and there were many cracks deep into the interior, and the ground near the roots of the stone pillars dripped with pure water that had turned back from the stone.
In the end, the stone pillar was not completely reversed, but it was basically unusable.
Xia Duo found that this kind of stone pillar had no more open nodes than his own, which also meant that it was almost impossible to use it for high-end magic equipment.
At the same time, this also proved his previous conjecture, that is--
The non-compact structural stone transformed from wood is inferior to the dense structural stone transformed from pure water in terms of its properties as a constant magic base material.
...
After that, Chateau re-transformed the six stone pillars according to the previous method, but this time he didn't do any more tests, but left it alone.
He planned to wait for the materiality of these stone pillars to stabilize completely before proceeding with the proofing of the substantive code.
As for now, he is ready to ponder the specific functions that the substantive code needs to achieve, the order in which these spells are executed, and the arrangement of nodes.
