Chapter 1128: Element extraction, the invisible richest man

Soon, Xia Duo arranged a series of protective spells in the laboratory. Of course, the focus was still on avoiding detection. He didn't want to have just refined a bit of high-grade mithril today and be called by someone tomorrow.
In order to reduce the possibility of being spied, he even imprisoned this small piece of magic net in the casting area, and only used his own arcane fire to unfold the micro magic net to cast spells.
"If this can be found by others, then I will recognize it too!" Xia Duo said fiercely.
Then he controlled the string of the magic net to construct an energy circuit. When the spell took effect, the entire laboratory was immersed in a strong light.
Even the spellcaster Shaduo couldn't judge the target—that is, the state of the mithril ingot brought by the Arcane Federation at this moment.
But he didn't care. He had seen this situation more than once. If necessary, when he returned to the Tower of Time, he could ask Niya to observe and record for him.
This is just the radiance produced by elemental reaction fierce to the extreme. It cannot be penetrated by the naked eye or even magical vision. However, through special probing magic, many details in the reaction process can be fully understood.
As for the details, Xia Duo didn't need to observe to know, after all, he had studied this spell quite thoroughly.
The so-called "element extraction" does not actually "take" the Mithril directly from the mixture, but starts from the elemental nature of the Mithril substance, and stimulates the state of the sample substance to the critical state of [substance-element].
(It is necessary to extract the majority of Mithril in the sample, if other substances are the majority, then other substances are extracted)
Some of the non-mithril substances will directly disintegrate into elements and dissipate directly, and some will be attracted by the framework of [Mithril-Elemental Essence] and transformed into mithril.
The last part is to keep it as it is, what it was before, after it breaks from the critical state, it will still be what it is, generally speaking, it is "impurity."
Of course, during the extraction process of Mithril itself, these three results will also be produced. Of course, for Mithril, transforming Mithril means maintaining the original state. In fact, only one result will be produced, that is—
A small part of Mithril is gone!
Through multiple extractions, the impurities are reduced again and again until it reaches a limit, which is also the upper limit of the purity of Mithril that can be advanced by the [Elemental Extraction] spell.
At present, Xia Duo has not tried Extreme Extraction, and it is not clear how pure Mithril can be extracted by this spell. It is not that he is not like Extreme Extraction. The limit is too far away. He doesn't have so much time and energy to go. Test this.
This is an attempt at diminishing marginal utility. It may be the end of the trial, and it may not be much better than the first-class product.
After trying more than a dozen times before, Xia Duo gave up decisively. In addition to the mithril consumption that made him unacceptable, the theoretical endlessness was also an important reason.
In theory, there is indeed an upper limit of purity that can be extracted, but in theory, it is also not up to the upper limit, similar to the limit problem of [1/2+1/3+1/4+...] summation.
The more extraction times, the closer to the limit, but can a normal human being extract indefinitely?
Even if it can, there is such an infinite time and infinite energy casting tool, when the number of samples is small to a certain extent, it may all dissipate in a critical state.
This is the gap between theory and practice.
…
As for this time, Xia Duo was only going to refine these mithril to first-class grades.
On the one hand, he didn't want these Mithril with relatively high purity itself to have too much loss.
On the other hand, these Mithril are magic items customized by others, as long as they can meet the basic requirements, no matter how pure they are, others will not pay extra, so why should he be thankless!
Soon, the first extraction was over, and the elemental glow that flooded the laboratory suddenly dissipated. It took Xia Duo a while to recover his eyes from the contrasting darkness.
He first checked the target Mithril Ingot, and except for some irregularly distributed tiny pits on the surface, the overall shape did not change much.
Immediately afterwards, he cast a spell to measure the current weight of the Mithril ingot, including the previous test for purity. If the Arcane Federation is not short of catties, then he will consume at least 100 grams of Mithril this time.
100 grams relative to 10 pounds is naturally insignificant, but this is not the end of one or two extractions.
"Ugh-"
Xia Duo let out a long sigh, cheered up and started the next round of spellcasting.
…
A total of ten rounds of extraction!
Xia Duo still has some experience at this point. From standard mithril to third-class mithril, only two rounds of extraction are required, but from third-class mithril to first-class mithril, at least ten rounds are required!
After ten 9th-level spell castings, Xia Duo replenished the arcane fire ten times in the middle. His current maximum arcane power is only enough to cast a 9th-level spell once.
If you want more, you naturally need to supplement it with Arcane Crystals, and this is the meaning of Arcanists' daily accumulation of Arcane Crystals.
Fortunately, he used his own arcane fire to cast spells, which reduced his mental consumption. When he extracted elements in the Tower of Time, in order to save the arcane energy, he used the external magic net to cast spells, which was much more difficult than this.
After ten rounds of extraction, the originally very regular and complete cube in front of Xia Duo had become riddled with holes.
This time, Xia Duo didn't measure its weight. He just weighed it with his hands, and roughly judged that it should measure more than 3 pounds in the temple.
Although this is not in line with the ideal value that Xia Duo hopes for, for the current Netheril, it is already an out-and-out bumper harvest!
The Deacon Tom of the Austrian Law Federation said that Level 5 members can buy high-quality mithril, 10 pounds of third-class or 1 pound of second-class at the standard mithril welfare price.
This somewhat shows that in the economic system of the Austrian Law Federation, the price of Mithril will skyrocket tenfold for every upgrade of its grade.
Xia Duo’s extraction changed from 10 pounds of third-class mithril to 3 pounds of first-class mithril, and the price skyrocketed 30 times. If he sells these 3 pounds of first-class mithril, and then buys third-class or even standard mithril. Continue to extract.
Repeated many times, UU reading www. uukanshu. com he can completely become the richest man in Netheril!
The wealth that can be captured by leading technology is beyond imagination!
Of course, if he really does that, the pig-killing knife may also fall quickly!
No one wants the wealth they have accumulated hard to be quickly taken by others in this way. The water in the first-class mithril is too deep, and Xia Duo can't grasp it for the time being.
He even suspects that there are so few boutique magic items on the market that maybe someone is using this method to seduce the clues of first-class mithril.
Excluding the few "legal" sources, it must be someone who has mastered first-class Mithril extraction technology.
Of course, Xia Duo doesn't have to worry about it now, there is a ruin in his territory, which is a fact that almost everyone knows.
It is possible to find a lot of first-class mithril in any ancient elven ruins. As for the specific number, only the discoverer himself knows.
But if it is shipped on a large scale, it is not good. It is almost straightforward to announce to others that I have the material, then how can other people bear it!
