Chapter 489: Encapsulation, element foundation

Encapsulation of magic items is easy to say, but it is not difficult to make it. It is nothing more than wrapping the exposed three-dimensional net-shaped spherical Mithril structure and the energy core with other materials.
The easiest way is to just stuff it directly into a box, but Mithril is not a very rigid metal, especially if you want to maintain a certain degree of purity, Mithril wire is actually very soft.
It's just that the spherical structures support each other so that they can be held in the hands without deformation, but if the acceleration changes, then deformation is inevitable.
When Xia Duo released the test task, he emphasized that it should be handled with care and no force is used, just to prevent the two laboratory versions of the communication instrument from being directly damaged before the test of the use limit has been completed.
...
General laboratory.
Xia Duo chose crystals, which are relatively balanced and relatively cheap gemstones, as the packaging material, but before the formal packaging, there is a very important link, that is, the encryption of the Mithril structural parts.
In fact, it is the encryption of spells. Through the encryption and transformation of arcane geometric graphics, the string of magic nets that need to be linked does not change, but the combination of elements of the spells that it maps has changed.
At this time, if an outsider wants to crack, because the element combination has changed, such element combination in turn cannot produce the magic effect before encryption.
In layman's terms, after the encryption transformation, only the form of the magic element has changed, but the essence of the inside remains unchanged. If you want to successfully cast the spell, you can only do it in the original form, and the transformed form is invalid.
Of course, any encryption is not omnipotent, and there is still a risk of being cracked. Therefore, the color-resistant mage is relatively cautious when selling magic items to the outside world, which are basically magic items of common spells.
Unless it is for personal use, otherwise, you will not make your own exclusive spells into magic items.
Communication artifacts, in fact, don't need to be encrypted. After all, spells must be released. Other mages can also make similar communication artifacts. This is just Xia Duo's habit.
The program code on the earth also has an encapsulation link, which is used to hide the specific details of the program code, leaving only a public interface, which has the purpose of simplification, but also has the meaning of encryption.
In addition, encryption can also distinguish the Xia Duo version of the communication device from the products of other masters, which is convenient for adding new functions when updating and iterating in the future.
Re-made an optimized and encrypted Mithril structure, which is much smaller overall, about the size of two fists of an adult.
The five-color gemstones as the energy core have not changed, they are still embedded in the entire exquisite Mithril structure, but their spacing is smaller than before.
Encapsulation mainly has two levels-elemental energy level and material level.
The elemental energy level is to make the elemental energy of the encapsulating material compatible and mutually concealed with the prototype of the magic weapon, while the material level is the compatibility and mutual concealment of the material.
Generally speaking, only the use of encapsulation materials such as gems will involve the encapsulation of the elemental energy level, and ordinary materials only involve the encapsulation of the material level.
In the Tower of Time, there is a special method for using crystal encapsulation, which is to use an elemental medicine called [Crystal Softener] to directly transform the crystal into a encapsulated state, and then shape it into a spherical shape by [Mage’s Hand]. When the encapsulation state subsides, it is a normal crystal.
At first, Xia Duo did not understand the existence of [Crystal Softener] very much. He felt that one more material would increase the cost. However, in the actual packaging process, he discovered that the so-called packaging state is actually the semi-element state of the crystal. .
It can simultaneously complete the encapsulation of the element energy level and the material level.
And if according to Xia Duo's own ideas, the crystals were melted directly to wrap the prototype of the magic weapon, it could only be a material-level encapsulation, of course, he had also done encapsulation experiments in this way.
As a result, the crystal used for encapsulation and the five-color gemstone as the energy core were all exploded.
...
The molten crystal is no longer a normal crystal, and its internal elements have changed. No matter how difficult it is to encapsulate the magic artifact, even if the wrapping step is successful, the subsequent cooling will have problems.
Based on this, Xia Duo can be regarded as confirming a reality that he has always been difficult to accept-the material foundation of the magical world lies in elements and energy.
This is completely different from the concept of the same nature of energy and matter on the earth. There is no pure energy on the earth. The so-called energy is just the movement of matter.
But in the wizarding world, although Xia Duo had read books about the inner plane before, the world described in the book had its roots in the inner plane, and the inner plane was in the energy state, or elemental state.
Although there have been many experiments or phenomena that have verified this point, Xia Duo's long-term belief that "energy and matter are one body, and the essence is matter" is affecting his judgment.
The magical world may also regard energy and matter as a whole, but it is essentially energy, pure energy that can exist independently.
Therefore, many things cannot be judged by common sense. For example, the concept of "crystal and molten crystal are not the same substance" can be easily understood in the magical world. Different elements are naturally not the same substance.
Even many things that were perplexed before are very easy to understand.
For example, [Flight], placed on the earth, it is anti-gravity, which is related to gravity, and is essentially space-time distortion. What a powerful energy is needed!
But in the wizarding world ~EbookFREE.me~Flying Art], the threshold is only an intermediate mage, not to mention a large number, but it is definitely not a small number, and it is still an individual. Such a magical magic can't be just a sentence Changes are explained by spells.
The root cause may be that the nature of the world is energy, and all its extended properties are changes in energy. Then it is not as difficult to find the right trick to fly against gravity.
...
In the General Laboratory, Xia Duo put aside all his work and fell into contemplation. The explosion of the packaging experiment allowed him to thoroughly face up to his limitations in cognition and the impact of his more than two decades of experience on earth.
Let alone the so-called "sublation", because there is no need to compare two completely different worlds, but the concept must advance with the times. Of course, this concept only lies in the cognition of the world.
As for other aspects, Xia Duo felt that there was no need to change for the time being.
Because it is just the adjustment or expansion of the world outlook, it actually involves the formation of personality. If the entire three outlooks are subverted, then Xia Duo or Xia Duo will have a big question mark.
Fortunately, this world is not the world of headshots, otherwise, this kind of adjustment to the nature of the world should be up to the standard of headshots.
Fortunately, the magic here is based on "use", more like a scientific concept, and not directly connected with cognition. No matter what you think, magic is there.
After the meditation, Xia Duo felt that the whole person was much more transparent. If the epiphany can be upgraded, then he can probably also be upgraded to two or three levels!
After that, Xia Duo no longer rejects the phenomenon that is inconsistent with the past cognition, of course, he does not want to completely abandon the past, which cannot be thrown away, but to face it actively and study its inner principles.
