The new tool that Sui Xiong made was roughly a metal frame that could be adjusted freely. He placed the ore inside the frame, adjusted the frame to hold it, and then turned the knob to place the mithril probe at the top and bottom of the metal frame against the ore. Next, he only needed to use the magic crystal to form a magic flow between the two probes. There was a magic array at the top of the probe that was sensitive to magic. It could emit light of different brightness according to the strength of the magic flow, so that it could judge whether the ore contained mithril through the brightness of the magic array and estimate the approximate content of mithril.
But after actual testing, Sui Xiong found that this thing was not as useful as he had imagined. More than once, he could not detect the magic flow, but in fact, the ore contained mithril.
He studied it repeatedly and finally found that it was because the mithril was not evenly distributed in the ore. If the probe could not touch the mithril, the magic would naturally not be able to flow through the stone. This, of course, resulted in an incorrect test result.
How could this problem be solved?
Sui Xiong's engineering level was terrible, even worse than high school students with strong hands-on ability, so he pondered over it and found that he could not come up with a solution in the end.
He asked Morani. Morani smiled and shook his head. "In fact, your idea has been thought of a long time ago, but the key difficulty lies here. The mineral is not evenly distributed in the ore, which seriously affects the ability of the ore to conduct magic. For example, if an ore is half silver and the other half stone, how should it be measured? No one has been able to solve this problem, so we can only use the manual method of ore selection. Fortunately, there is an obvious situation between mithril and silver, and between natural mithril and acquired mithril. Otherwise, it would be more difficult to select the ore. "
Sui Xiong realized that he was not the first smart person.
What he could think of, of course, others could think of as well. And the technology he used was not beyond the level of the more powerful mages in the world. Since this was the case, why hadn't others tried it before?
Thinking of this, he could not help but sigh deeply and become depressed.
"In fact, this problem is not unsolvable," Morani said. "It's just that … the way of solving it is completely different from what you think."
"Different way of thinking?" Sui Xiong's eyes lit up and he asked curiously, "What's the difference?"
Morani did not tell him immediately, but smiled and let him think for himself.
Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked, "Did you smash the ore?"
"It won't be easy to smash Mithril." Morani shook his head.
Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked, "What kind of potion should I dissolve the ore in?"
"A potion that can dissolve mithril is too precious. Even if it can only dissolve stone and not mithril, considering the dosage, the gains do not make up for the losses." Morani shook his head again.
Sui Xiong thought for a while and asked, "How many holes should I drill in the ore?"
"And then?" Morani asked.
Sui Xiong thought about it and found that it did not seem to be helpful. He sighed helplessly, "Well, it seems that I am not smart enough. What method did he use to solve this problem? "
Morani laughed and waved his hand. A large mass of magic power appeared out of thin air and condensed into a liquid-like shape about a foot in diameter. Then, "He" picked up a fist-sized mithril ore and threw it in.
"Under the nourishment of powerful magic, silver will slowly turn into mithril. If there is already mithril around, the conversion efficiency will be a little faster. In such a high-concentration magic environment, a large piece of ore like this can be completely transformed into mithril ore in about 30 years. There is no need to worry that it is silver ore. "
Sui Xiong was stunned. He had never thought that there would be such a solution.
Unable to easily distinguish between silver ore and mithril ore? Then turn silver ore into mithril ore.
Wasn't this the famous "if there is no way to solve the problem, then eliminate the problem" mentality!
He was stunned for a long time, then suddenly thought of something and asked, "But in this case, how do we distinguish between natural mithril and acquired mithril?"
Morani was silent for a while and asked, "Is there a lot of natural mithril?"
"Not a lot, very little."
"Then, is it necessary to consider this problem?"
Sui Xiong suddenly understood.
If there was natural mithril, it would be worth any trouble because it was expensive enough.
But in fact, in most cases, ore dressing workers did not need to consider the problem of natural mithril — how could there be so much natural mithril in the world!
Sui Xiong himself was stuck in a dead end, which was why he was pondering such a meaningless problem. This was like a chef apprentice being taught how to braise pork, explaining how to cook pork, beef, lamb, dog, chicken, duck, and other common meats, and then he suddenly asked, "Teacher, how do you cook panda meat?"
If the teacher did not beat him on the spot, it was definitely because he had great self-restraint.
Thinking of this, Sui Xiong could not help but laugh.
After laughing, he put the matter aside for the time being. He only sent a letter to the Minister of Mines, Riff Kavat, and the Chief Mage Satan, asking them to cooperate and build the mithril transformation pool as soon as possible.
The mithril transformation pool itself could not only be used to convert silver ore into mithril ore, but it could also be used as the most important facility for mage organizations — the magic pool.
The so-called magic pool referred to a facility where a large amount of magic could be gathered and used freely when needed. For mages, it was a waste not to use the magic that was produced normally. If they stored magic and used it at critical moments, it would be more efficient and beneficial whether it was for research or battle.
For example, in a battle between two mages, both of them had used up all their magic. One of them took out a machete and said, "Oppa used to practice knife skills." The other one was so weak that he could only obediently wait to be chopped to death. At this time, Sui Xiong smiled and took out a communication magic tool. He dialed a number, and with a flash of light, he immediately used the magic in the magic pool to restore his combat power. With a backhand spell, he blasted his opponent into pieces …
This kind of situation had actually happened in the Commonwealth of Mifata more than once.
Among all the mage organizations in the world, the Commonwealth of Mifata loved to build magic pools the most. Although this technology was not invented by them, it was carried forward by them. Currently, every magic tower in the Commonwealth of Mifata had a magic pool, so as long as the boundaries of the magic tower could be extended or supported, the mages of the Commonwealth of Mifata would be able to fight endlessly.
The Republic of Northwest actually had a magic pool built in the magic tower of the legendary necromancer Tu Ya 'an. Tu Ya 'an did not mind sharing this magic pool with everyone, but his magic pool was specially built for necromancy. Other than himself and a dozen of his disciples, no one else dared to use it.
The Chief Mage Satan had always wanted to build a magic pool, but he had been delayed by various things and had never had the time to build it. Now that he had Sui Xiong's order, he would finally put those things aside and build the magic pool first.
He believed that this would be of great benefit to the construction of the mage team in the Republic of Northwest!
