Chapter 139 The Right Way
Net》|》| provides you with wonderful novels to read.
After discussing the hive-type magic net model and promising a "reward", Gawain did not let Rebecca and Jenny leave, but took out some of the drawings he had drawn these days, and according to his own understanding on weekdays, Some summaries and calculations of "Rune Logic".
Rebecca's attention was attracted by Gawain's drawings, while Jenny saw the equations of Gawain's calculus at a glance, and the latter opened her eyes in surprise: "You did all of these?"
"When I have nothing to do, I study the information you gave me, and try to arrange the rune sequence myself," Gawain nodded with a smile, "I still have some foundations in magic theory."
"This... this is not a basic question," Jenny looked at Gawain's results in disbelief, "These calculation methods and... writing habits, have you been exposed to this aspect before?"
"There were a lot of achievements in mathematics during the Gondor Empire. Of course, Rune Logic has not developed yet." The mathematical ideas accumulated in the previous life are still there. Even if the formulas are not universal, the logic and calculation ideas will not fail. So far, the rune logic formulas that Jenny have sorted out are still in a fairly simple stage, and It was not difficult for Gawain to understand the calculations extended by empirical formulas.
Seeing that Jenny continued to ask questions, Gawain quickly moved the topic to the next stage: "Let's take a look at these things first."
"This is the second-generation magic engine you mentioned last time, what is it called a rotary engine..." Rebecca looked at the blueprint in front of her, "I haven't seen this before... This magic circle model seems to be Is it fire type?"
"It's a scorching ray magic circle, a second-level magic, which can release a focused heat beam from the focus of the magic circle," Gao Wen explained, "In other words, this is just a low-level magic, one level lower than a big fireball... ...haven't you seen it?"
"I haven't seen it before," Rebecca shook her head, "Aunt Hetty taught me the spell model of searing ray, she thought this spell had the same origin as fireball, maybe I could learn it and I would learn this spell. My brain hurts when I learn, and then I have a psychological shadow, and when I learn how to convert this spell model into a magic circle, I slept in a few classes..."
Looking at this n1 great-granddaughter who frankly confessed black history, Gawain was stunned.
The so-called searing ray is not an advanced spell. Although in Gawain's opinion, the magic of biu's heat-emitting light is a powerful stroke in the light and shadow special effects level, but in fact it is only a second-level magic, which is better than a first-level magic. The small fireball is one level higher, but Rebecca is a "third-level magician" who can rely on her powerful mental strength to hold back the big fireball.
It stands to reason that the scorching rays are not a problem for her at all, but there is no way. In the extraordinary realm of this world, the so-called spell casting talent is destined by God. For a mage who relies on personal qualities to cast spells, if they are born with spellcasting defects, No matter how hard you try, it won't work.
Trying too hard can even cause a headache.
But here's an extra thing to say. Although Rebecca only has one "fireball", in fact she can force herself to claim that she can use two magics. The harder it is, the smaller the fireball, and the harder it is the big fireball. The two spells are one level and one level three, and their spell models are almost the same, except that the latter requires more magic power and is controlled with higher spiritual power. Rebecca can only record one spell model by nature, and this spell model happens to be a fireball, so she said that she can know two spells no problem...
Gawain always felt that if this girl continued to stray on this talent tree, sooner or later, she would be able to point out nuclear fusion...
"Lord Ancestor, why are you showing me this?" At this time, Rebecca had already read a few drawings and asked curiously, "Are you going to build this rotor-type magic engine again?"
"When making complex magical energy machinery or advanced magical props, the biggest thing that bothers us is interference," Gawain said about what he had been thinking about recently, "When the magic circle is running, the energy flow between runes and runes will If there is interference, two adjacent magic circles will also interfere together. Because of the complexity of the magic circle and the large number of rune nodes, the high-level magic items will interfere more. Since then, traditional mages have not been able to completely solve this problem, and this is the most important reason why extraordinary items are difficult to popularize."
Looking at the calculation formulas written by Gawain, Jenny suddenly became enlightened, with a thoughtful look on her face.
And Gao Wen continued: "We have discussed the rotor engine last time, its only problem is interference, there are too many repulsive force arrays, and the arrangement is symmetrical, so interference is unavoidable and has to be temporarily abandoned, and this heat energy ray Array..."
"There should be no interference problem with the heat ray array, right?" Rebecca said uncertainly, "Although I won't, I know that this kind of array is already a mature technology, and many magicians like to use it in their own magician. The power of this trap set in the tower is good, and it does not explode to the surrounding things like a fireball, and can accurately deal with those intruders..."
Gawain waved his hand: "Yes, the thermal energy ray array has already been applied, but that's because traditional mages solved the problem of interference by carving it on the expensive base of the magic guide, but I plan to paint it on a very cheap red On the copper substrate, the rune materials are cheaper quartz sand and red blood gum, which has the problem of interference."
Jenny vaguely guessed what Gawain meant: "You want to reduce its cost, but drawing the magic circle on the inferior material means that the energy level of each rune will be suppressed by the material, the effective power will be reduced, and In order to ensure that the magic circle can operate, it is necessary to increase the effective power by increasing the number of runes, and in the concept of many traditional mages, the more the number of runes, the higher the probability of interference."
"That's right," Gawain said unhurriedly, "Drawing or engraving the magic array on a low-level base material, or using inferior materials to make runes, will reduce the effective output of the runes, so it is necessary to By increasing the number of runes to ensure that the magic circle can play its original effect, and the more runes, the higher the probability of causing the magic circle to collapse due to interference. The traditional way for mages to solve this problem is to engrave the magic circle On expensive high-end materials, they can achieve their goals with the most streamlined array structure. They are used to avoiding interference in this way, because they are not short of money."
Rebecca: "But Master Ancestor, you have been working hard to make extraordinary items... how do you say that word?"
Gawain glanced at her approvingly: "Cheap mass production."
Then he continued: "All problems are attributed to the unique interference nature of magic. The interference of the magic circle is actually a roadblock that hinders cheap mass production. It increases the cost of a lot of low-level magic items, and also leads me to design a lot of The machine didn't work, but now... we have a way to deal with the disturbance."
"The idea is to calculate through rune logic!" Jenny has been fascinated by it. She has been studying the laws of runes for many years, but she just uses it to design the magic circle and complete the task assigned by the tutor. This is her first time Once realized the true value of these mathematical tools at a higher level, "Traditional mages believe that the increase in runes in the magic circle caused the interference and collapse of the magic circle, but in fact we can calculate from the formula Come out, the increase of runes will not cause interference. On the contrary, more runes give the array higher anti-interference ability. What really causes interference is the interference knot generated by the runes in a specific arrangement, just because of interference The interference of knots increases exponentially, far exceeding the anti-interference ability brought by adding rune knots, so people always think that as long as there are more runes in the magic circle, it will be unstable..."
Gao Wen laughed, with a very happy smile: "Yes, with Rune Logic, we don't have to do research like those traditional mages, and we don't have to rely on luck and unreliable experience to design magic circles like them, such as For the rotor-type magic engine I designed before, we can reduce the interference knot by fine-tuning the rune arrangement of each repulsion array, or even redesign the repulsion array. The magic array that can only be made with guiding materials is drawn or engraved on a cheap red copper plate, making it so cheap that everyone can use it!"
"Everyone can use it..." Jenny was obviously frightened by this statement, "Is it possible?"
Gawain asked back: "Why is it impossible? Even the brick burners and miners in the territory are using the magic engine. Isn't the magic engine essentially a magic tool?"
Jenny was immediately speechless.
"So you want us to calculate these things next?" Rebecca looked at the blueprints that Gawain took out, and her face suddenly showed a look of eagerness to try, "Ah, I see that you are still specializing in every The price range of the base material and the rune material is marked next to the magic circle... Do you want to make the magic circle run on such a cheap basis? It looks very challenging!"
"Are you confident?" Gawain asked with a smile.
Rebecca raised her chest: "Extraordinary!"
Jenny smiled a little shyly and restrainedly: "I will try my best, I will not let you down."
The two girls left with a load of new drawings and materials, while Gawain relaxed, resting his upper body on the back of the chair, letting his thoughts float.
He thought that he had finally found the right path that would allow ordinary people to enter the mysterious realm.
He also grasped the way to maximize the propulsive efficiency of the "magic" of this world.
The "whatever you want is what you want" nature of magic is the greatest help to quickly transform his whimsical ideas into reality!
In a world without magic, it may take years or even decades and generations of efforts to transform an idea into reality. The difficult tool production and improvement process takes up most of the time. However, in a world with magic , this process has been greatly shortened. Almost all the time cost is actually completed between the brain and pen and paper. As long as the mage calculates fast and accurate enough, as long as he completes the spell model, his spell It will become a "thing" that can play an effect in reality, even if their magic still belongs to them temporarily, but the "real meaning" that magic can produce has already been realized.
And what Gawain has to do is to convert these spells one by one into magic energy engines, heat ray guns, crystal bombs, beehive magic nets...
