Chapter 1291: Life extension, Rhodes promotion

Next, Xia Duo continuously and repeatedly activated the [Force Field Shield] chip, trying to get the life limit of the chip, but until Rhodes found him, he could not find any abnormality in the chip.
The higher the purity of the Mithril wire, the higher the magic energy flux, and the less prone to elemental transmutation reactions, but correspondingly—
If the Mithril wire is thinner, the magic energy flux is lower, and the elemental transmutation reaction is more prone to occur at the same time.
The elemental transmutation reaction will reduce the purity of the Mithril wire, which will reduce the magic energy flux. After reaching a certain level, it will cause the energy loop to fail.
This is the "lifetime limit" in the usual sense.
The mithril wire used in the [Force Field Shield] chip produced by Xia Duo is extremely slender, and it cannot be made directly. Instead, it needs to be etched in the substrate and then filled with mithril liquid.
According to his initial judgment, as long as the excitation exceeds ten times, the probability of obvious abnormality will increase to the point that it is difficult to ignore.
But now, he has fired no less than 30 times, but there is no abnormality.
This means that Xia Duo made a mistake in his judgment of the nature of Mithril, and after the purity reaches a certain level, more magical characteristics may appear.
Or, the purity of the little bit of untested Mithril granules before is far higher than expected, making the final service life longer.
If it is a sudden change in the nature of Mithril, it means that there is no need for almost infinite purity of Mithril to satisfy the future development of the chip industry;
And if the purity of the previous Mithril material is higher than expected, it also shows that [Elemental Extraction] is more efficient when refining high-purity Mithril.
This means that the consumption of Mithril materials by the chip industry in the future will be much less than expected.
These two possibilities, no matter which one, are rare good news for Xia Duo.
It is easy to verify, just repeat the steps of preparing the material before, and then check its purity and magic flux.
But now, Chateau is not prepared to do this. On the one hand, the mithril reserve in the laboratory is no longer enough to support him in a high-consumption experiment. On the other hand, Rhodes is still waiting for him!
Xia Duo knew the reason why Rhodes approached him. If not surprising, it should be Rhodes's Level 1 project on the structure of the "Sith Ring" that was completed, and he wanted his signature and evaluation.
…
In the lounge.
Chateau casually took the research project summary report that Rhodes carefully handed over, and opened it to see that a strong academic wind rushed over his face.
From topic selection, conception, analysis, experimentation, and finally to conclusions, the full text of the report is well-structured and detailed, and even the source of the cited data and the experimental consumption are attached at the end.
The full name of Rhodes' research project is "the practical application and research of two special equivalent transformations of the fifth layer of the "Sith ring" structure of the magic net in the spell ascending ring."
The so-called "Sith ring" refers to a set of spell element units discovered and named by the Sith Great Arcanist, which is essentially a specific combination of the strings of the fifth layer of the magic net.
However, in the past, the empire’s survivors’ research on the Sith ring was very detailed, and it was not easy for Rhodes to innovate, so he could only start with several special equivalent transformations.
It can barely be regarded as a special research project focusing on experiments that has not been studied before.
Of course, there is no doubt about it as a level 1 project.
For Chateau, the so-called "Sith ring" structure has actually been discovered on the main plane long ago, and he is still very familiar with it.
The design blueprint of the Tower of Time "De-escalation" backup array system contains the "Sith Ring" structure. When Xia Duo first came into contact with this, he had not yet become a high-level mage!
Looking at this report now, there is always a feeling of going back to the past.
After reading the report twice, I made sure that there was nothing too serious. Xia Duocai signed the name of "Mccard" on the cover of the report, and left the pre-existing information in the management center of the Institute. Magical imprint.
Of course, it is indispensable to give Rhodes an "excellent" evaluation.
Seeing the big "excellent" mark on the project report, Rhodes grinned excitedly and smiled like a three-year-old kid. He held the report tightly in his arms and said excitedly:
"My lord, thank you so much. With this evaluation, when I advance to become an arcanist, I will be able to apply for the rank 1 researcher immediately."
"This is what you deserve."
That being said, this is indeed the case, but Rhodes is still very grateful to "Mccard". If he is still in the Brado laboratory, this last "moderate or above" evaluation may be delayed for several years!
"Send the report to the management center! This is the first project in the laboratory to apply for approval. There should be no suspense to pass it. I would like to congratulate you in advance, researcher Rhodes!"
"Um!"
Rhodes nodded, replied heavily, and took an excited step, ran all the way out of the lounge, and continued to run outside the laboratory.
…
After a while, Chateau received a subpoena from Rhodes. During the call, Rhodes mentioned that the project report had been approved by the management center and thanked Chateau again.
Two days later, Rhodes invited Chateau to observe his advancement. Chateau was surprised by this. At first, he only thought that Rhodes promised to open up his advancement process to observe him casually, but he did not expect it to be realized now.
However, he did not refuse.
Although he himself knew the process of advanced arcanists well, whether it was on the main plane or the projection plane, he had never observed the advancement of other people!
There may be some unexpected gains from this observation!
…
In the long narrow passage corridor. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Xia Duo and Rhodes walked side by side, but the direction of advancement caused Xia Duo's heart to move, and subconsciously asked: "Are you going to the second floor to advance this time?"
"Yes, I received a notice from the management center to arrange for me to go to the 001 laboratory on the second floor to advance."
"Laboratory No. 001 on the second floor?"
This laboratory number inevitably reminds Chateau of Laboratory No. 003 of the former Deputy Dean Samuel. Is it going to the Dean’s laboratory?
He threw this question to Rhodes, but he did not want Rhodes to give an unexpected answer: "Laboratory No. 002 is the Dean’s laboratory. No. 001 is for advanced arcanists. Others Researchers are all advanced there."
In terms of understanding of the Academy, Chateau couldn't keep up with Rhodes. Since Rhodes said so, he basically thinks that is the case.
The fact that Lab 001 can be reserved for advanced, rather than the dean of the research institute, can more or less explain the importance of advanced arcanists to advanced mages.
