Synthesis Wizard

"The 52nd secondary magic stone vein has been developed."

In the study, Li Ze's cold voice echoed.

"The apprentices sent out over the years have searched the entire continent and found a total of 73 ground vein nodes, of which only 52 have energy richness that meets the standard for cultivating secondary magic stone veins."

"If nothing unexpected happens, 52 secondary magic stone veins will be the limit of the continent."

Su Nan asked: "What about the scale?"

"One small, two medium, and the rest are large."

"It takes time to fully popularize and promote secondary magic energy technology. The output of one small and two medium secondary magic stone veins in the early stage is enough. When the large veins are cultivated and mature, the output will soar, just in time for the outbreak of secondary magic energy technology."

Su Nan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked: "What about the transmission network plan?"

"This progress is a little slow."

Li Ze stretched out her hand and brushed across the void. Countless slender rays of light intertwined to form a map of the Starlight Continent, which was covered with dense light spots, intertwined and connected to each other, forming a huge network.

Then a map of the surface world appeared next to it. There was only a light spot in the center, and the rest was blank.

"The teleportation network of the surface world has been built, and now we are working on the teleportation network of the underground world."

"How long will it take to complete?"

"The secondary magic stone vein plan has come to an end. The vacant manpower can be transferred to the teleportation network plan to slightly alleviate the problem of insufficient manpower. According to the current speed, it will take about 60 to 70 years."

Sunan frowned slightly.

According to this calculation, the entire teleportation network will take more than a hundred years!

But he can understand it. After all, the number of wizard apprentices who accept the task of arranging the teleportation array at the same time is at most thousands.

Compared with the vast Starlight Continent, this amount of manpower is not enough to describe as a drop in the bucket.

The progress is slow.

"The number of students enrolled in Starlight Academy in recent years has been gradually increasing, and the teleportation network plan will have more and more manpower in the future. It may not take 60 years." Sunan thought for a while and said.

"About this, I have something to discuss with you." Li Ze suddenly said.

"You say."

"Do you remember the star core you got in the Falling Star City?"

Su Nan nodded slightly.

After getting the star core, he studied it for a while and found that it was actually an energy supply device, which was roughly equivalent to a medium-sized element pool.

If it were another wizard, he would definitely be overjoyed to get the star core.

But Su Nan was different. He had a way to synthesize a large element pool, so he naturally looked down on the star core.

The most important thing is that the star core cannot be moved after it is placed. Otherwise, if it is a movable energy supply device, it is equivalent to carrying an element pool with you, and Su Nan would look at it more highly.

After that, Li Ze took the star core from him, saying that she wanted to do an experiment, so Su Nan gave it to her.

"I used the star core to make a magic device and commissioned the instructor of the academy to make the finished product, called the Eye of the Star. It is now in the Starlight Academy to collect experimental data."

Li Ze waved her hand, and a document floated towards Su Nan.

Su Nan reached out to take it, opened it and read it carefully, and his eyes gradually lit up.

I have to say that this magic item called the Eye of the Star is quite interesting. It can actually sense and record all energy particle fluctuations that exceed a certain standard. It is simply a weapon for monitoring extraordinary power!

But the range is a bit small.

"Is this something designed by the Star Meteorite Association?"

"Yes."

"Can the sensing range of this thing be expanded?" Sunan asked with interest.

Li Ze pondered and said, "On the premise of ensuring that the effect is not affected, it can be expanded to a circular area with a diameter of 300 kilometers. If the range is larger, the precision of sensing energy particle fluctuations will be affected."

Three hundred kilometers in radius?

Sunan was a little disappointed.

This range is only enough to cover a city, which is not really large.

A star core equivalent to a medium-sized element pool is used to monitor the trajectory of extraordinary power in a city. It is too much of a waste.

It seems that this Eye of the Star is not very practical.

Wait!

Sunan suddenly reacted.

It is impossible for Li Ze not to know about this kind of thing. If the Eye of the Star only has this degree of effect, Li Ze would not specifically bring it to him to tell him.

Since she did this, there must be a follow-up.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Su Nan glanced at Li Ze with a half-smile, saying, "What other plans do you have? Tell me all at once."

Li Ze's eyes flashed with a smile, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly, saying, "If there is only one star core, the monitoring range of the Eye of the Stars will definitely not be that large, but if the Eye of the Stars is the core, supplemented by multiple secondary star cores to form a network, the monitoring range can be expanded!"

"Secondary star core?"

"It means exactly what it says, an energy core that is inferior to the star core."

Li Ze stretched out her hand and pointed in the void, and light and shadow slowly emerged. It was a crystal ball that was quite similar to the star core, but much smaller in size.

"The star core is the core creation of the Starfall Society. Only the wizard councilors in the entire Starfall Society have mastered the manufacturing technology, but the formal members can make the secondary star core."

"The secondary star core does not have the same effect of sensing energy particle fluctuations as the star core. It is just a pure energy core. However, when used together with the star core, it can resonate with the star core, thereby amplifying the star core's ability."

"I see." Su Nan nodded with understanding, "How much can it be enlarged?"

"If there are about two hundred secondary star cores, it can be magnified at least ten times."

"Ten times? A monitoring area with a radius of three thousand kilometers?" Sunan shook his head, "Not enough. This range is not even enough to cover the southeastern region."

Lize said angrily and funny: "Don't be too greedy. Do you still want to cover the entire Starlight Continent?"

To her surprise, Sunan nodded.

"It better be so."

Seeing that Sunan was not joking, Lize frowned slightly and said: "The resonance amplification effect of secondary star cores is not infinite. After more than two hundred cores, the amplification effect will shrink sharply. The upper limit is about twelve times. Beyond this Value, even if you place more secondary star cores, you can't improve the effect even a little bit."

"What if instead of improving quantity, we improve quality?"

Lize was startled, then realized and frowned: "The secondary star core is already a mature magic item. It was developed by the Starfall Society at the expense of countless manpower and material resources, and was improved by countless wizards. Based on this, If you want to make further improvements, the time and effort you put into it will be far beyond your imagination.”

Su Nan still insisted on his opinion: "You don't have to worry about this. You just need to answer my question. If the effect of the secondary star core is improved, can the monitoring range be expanded?"

Lize hesitated for a moment and said, "It depends on the actual situation, but in theory there should be no problem."

"That's fine."

A smile appeared at the corner of Sunan's mouth.

Not to mention anything else, in terms of enhancing the effect of a single item, all the wizards in the Starfall Society combined cannot compare to him who owns the Rubik's Cube.

"Give me the design drawing of the secondary star core, and I will improve it as soon as possible to a more effective secondary star core."

Seeing Su Nan's confident look, Lize couldn't help but wonder secretly.

But she knew that Su Nan was not a reckless and impulsive person. Since Su Nan dared to say such things, it meant that he was at least 70 to 80 percent sure.

Liz was very curious whether Sunan could succeed.

She took a piece of parchment and used her mage's hand to control the rune pen to write and draw on it. It took her more than two hours to copy the design.

Su Nan looked at the design drawing and asked, "Where is the design drawing of the star core?"

Liz shook her head and said: "That is the highest core secret of the Starfall Society, and only the members of the parliament know it."

Su Nan was slightly disappointed, took the design drawing and went straight to the laboratory, preparing to create the secondary star core.

When he came to the laboratory, Sunan directly unfolded the design drawing and placed it on the workbench.

"Taling 2, scan the secondary star core design."

[Receive the instruction and start scanning. The scan is completed. 】

"Gather materials."

[Instructions received, a total of one hundred and thirty-eight kinds of materials, one hundred and thirty-three kinds of materials have been mobilized from the warehouse, and the corresponding inventory has not been found for the remaining five kinds. Do you want to search for materials with similar materials? 】

"Retrieval."

[The search has been completed. The following are the materials with the highest material similarity, red cracked iron and nematode crystal.]

Tower Spirit No. 2 is the second Tower Spirit refined by Sunan, and is specially used as the experimental second hand.

Its core capabilities are the spiritual library and data analysis capabilities.

The former represents super recording ability, recording all books, all experimental records and all knowledge currently owned by Sunan.

In order to increase the amount of knowledge in Talling 2, Sunan even asked Liz to input all the knowledge she had into Talling 2's 'spiritual library'.

The latter represents the computing power and data simulation capabilities of Taling 2.

The two complement each other.

The stronger the knowledge reserve, the stronger the data analysis capabilities of Taling 2 will be.

Using Taling 2 as an experimental assistant can save a lot of time and energy in calculations and calculations.

With the assistance of Taling 2, Sunan spent two months developing five substitutes, and then began to create secondary star cores.

The secondary star core is not a particularly complicated magic item. At least for Sunan, whose [Magic Item Creation] skill has been upgraded to level 5, it is almost not difficult.

Soon, two secondary star cores were created.

Sunan then immediately synthesized it.

The result did not disappoint him. The effect of the synthesized secondary star core was indeed even better.

In the end, Sunan used five secondary star cores to synthesize a brand new secondary star core.

When he placed the enhanced version of the secondary star core in front of Lize, the latter's usually cold face showed a rare expression of confusion and astonishment.

"You actually improved?"

After carefully checking it and confirming that the effect of the secondary star core was indeed fully enhanced, Lize looked at Sunan with an unconcealable exclamation in her eyes.

She never expected that Sunan actually completed the improvement, and it only took just a little over a month.

It’s incredible!

Where are the wizards from the Starfall Society?

Compared to Sunan, the improvements made by the Starfall Society to the secondary star core were just like playing house!

"Do you think this improvement is enough? Or do you need to continue to improve the effect?"

Su Nan's words interrupted Lize's contemplation, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

Can the effect continue to be improved?

After a moment of silence, Lise said, "I'll have to check it out before I know."

Sunan immediately waved his hand and arranged it.

The Eye of the Star, which was placed in the Starlight Academy, was moved to the laboratory of the Wizard Tower on the same day.

After conducting a series of tests and confirming that the secondary star core still had room for improvement, Sunan continued to synthesize and strengthen it.

Each time it was strengthened, a test was conducted.

The number of synthesized secondary star cores of the final enhanced version was controlled at eight.

The effect of the secondary star core synthesized with this number of synthesis is closest to the upper limit. If it is improved further, the effect of the star core as the core will not keep up.

The result of taking the lead will lower the overall effect.

"The detection range of more than 7,000 kilometers is enough to cover the southeast region. Are you satisfied now?" Li Ze glanced at Sunan, "Or do you really want to cover the entire continent to be satisfied?"

Sunan pondered and said nothing.

Although this result is not impossible, there is always something wrong.

If possible, Sunan still hopes to cover the entire continent, which is extremely important for monitoring the invasion of foreign wizards after the elements are revived in the future.

But to do this, either strengthen the effect of the star core or create a second star core.

For Sunan, these two methods are actually the same.

Unless he can synthesize a star core with a secondary star core, it is impossible to achieve the goal.

But Sunan has experimented before, and it is impossible to synthesize a star core with a secondary star core.

Secondary star cores do not have the effect of sensing energy fluctuations like star cores, which means that no matter how many secondary star cores are invested, they cannot synthesize a real star core.

But on the other hand, as long as the secondary star core has the same effect, even if it is only a little bit, he can use the magic cube to synthesize something with a similar effect to the star core.

"The secondary star core and the star core can resonate, proving that they are similar in nature to a certain extent, so improving the secondary star core so that it has a slight ability to sense energy particle fluctuations should still have the possibility of success."

Sunan had a plan in mind and told Li Ze about it.

Of course, the synthesis was not stated explicitly, but it was said that the secondary star core was improved so that it had a weak energy sensing effect.

"It is theoretically feasible, but what's the point of doing this?"

Li Ze was puzzled.

"The secondary star core is in an auxiliary position in this sensing network. Even if it has a weak sensing ability, it will not improve the overall effect much, and it is still impossible to achieve your goal of covering the entire continent."

Sunan said with a smile: "I have my own plan, just cooperate with me in the research experiment."

Lize also has rich experience in making secondary star cores. The improvement experiment will be much smoother with her help.

Staring at Sunan for a long time, Lize curled her lips and snorted.

"Mysterious."

Complaining, she finally agreed. (End of this chapter)
