Xuanhua's storage spirit stones are all irregular. They are excavated from very special mineral veins. Some are large and some are small. The energy storage runes contained in them are also different, which determines how much mana can be stored.
Guan Guan has tested it and found that the appearance and material of these storage spirit stones are not much different from ordinary jade, except that they contain runes and are a bit harder.
Jade, this is easy to get, just spend money!
So Wu Dian asked someone to buy a large amount of jade, both good and bad, and experimented one by one.
He first used mana to carve energy storage runes inside the jade, and immediately felt difficulties. The runes were too complicated and precise. They were more like formations than runes, and were even more complicated than storage formations.
If this formation could be carved into an object less than one cubic centimeter, Wu Dian felt that he could make a storage ring!
He had no choice but to give up. Artificial engraving would not work. Even if his mana control was extremely precise and his mana could keep up, he could not continuously carve a large number of runes on a piece of jade.
If he has the time, couldn't he practice more? To be used on this.
At this time, it was necessary to find professionals. Wu Dian wanted to find an expert in jade processing and discuss with him how to overcome the problem.
Soon, an old expert was invited over. He was over sixty years old and had been dealing with jade all his life.
The old expert learned about his question, pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Wu, it is not impossible to carve fine patterns inside jade, such as jade snuff bottles, but if it is completely carved inside, it is really impossible to have such fine patterns, because It’s invisible from the outside and destroys the value of the jade itself.”
Wu Dian felt a little disappointed: "Is it possible to depict it in other materials?"
"There are some, such as crystal laser internal engraving, but the composition and hardness of crystal and jade are different. I don't know if ordinary lasers can do it."
Great, as long as there is a way!
Wu Dian was so happy that he immediately bought a laser engraving machine, the best one!
Soon, a 3D laser internal engraving machine priced at hundreds of thousands was sent to the Hainan base, and Wu Dian and veteran experts began to try it.
Test results, it works! But the texture must be transparent, allowing the laser to pass through the jade on the surface before it can carve out patterns on the inside.
Among the jade stones Wu Dian bought, only the two most expensive pieces of glass jade and ice jade could be carved.
Wu Dian couldn't help but gasped. If the energy storage jade were all made of glass jade, the price would be unaffordable and not worth it. It would not meet his needs for mass production.
The old expert saw his dilemma and asked him about his purpose. Although he felt strange about carving patterns on the inside of a large number of jade stones, for the sake of the high salary, he still dutifully said: "Mr. Wu, you can't use other materials instead." What? For example, glass or crystal? "
Wu Dian agreed and gave it a try, so he found glass and crystal carvings.
The carving went smoothly. He got the finished product and went to experiment and input mana. As a result, the glass came out as much as it was input, and it was completely penetrated.
The crystal has some effects, but only 10% of the mana input is stored, and the rest is wasted.
Wu Dian touched his chin and thought. It must be because the composition is different. The main component of jade is silicate, while glass crystals are all silica. It seems that jade must be used.
He came over and talked to the old expert. The expert thought for a while and said, "Then there is only one way left, which is to make synthetic jade."
Wu Dian was confused: "Synthetic jade?"
"Yes, the composition of synthetic jade is the same as that of natural jade, and its transparency is even better than that of natural jade. The biggest disadvantage is that it is not hard enough. When it is made into jewelry, it is much worse than natural jade. But your needs are different. I think it is completely You can consider using synthetic jade!”
Wu Dian was excited when he heard this and slapped his thigh: "Okay! I will buy synthetic jade to try!" He thought to himself, it seems that this expert is the right one.
I bought the synthetic jade quickly. You can't tell any difference from natural jade at a glance. The transparency is quite high. The most important thing is that it is cheap.
Wu Dian picked a small piece, put it into the 3D printer, and started carving the interior again.
After carving, he took it out and tried it. He immediately smiled from ear to ear. The input mana was basically stored. It was not a big waste and can be put into practical use.
As for the storage capacity, he takes a complete rune as a standard unit, which takes up about one cubic centimeter of space. If the rune is further reduced, it will be very difficult to carve.
This single standard unit can store nearly one-twentieth of his mana, which is already impressive.
With the basic unit in hand, he experimented with what size of spiritual stone he should make, and finally found that a three-dimensional combination of three runes on one side was the most appropriate. The structure was very stable and the capacity was appropriate, just enough to store all his mana.
So I decided to make it into a square spiritual stone with twenty-seven energy storage runes engraved inside.
After tinkering for a while, Wu Dian looked at the finished spiritual stone in his hand, filled with joy!
This is a square jade stone with a side length of about 3 centimeters. I don’t know if it is because it is full of mana. The originally light green and translucent material has now turned into dark green, smooth and moist, with faint air masses swirling inside. , looks great!
Wu Dian absorbed the mana, and the spirit stone did not change back to its original appearance. It was still dark green, but without the moisture and air mass.
The hardness is also much greater than before energy storage, and ordinary knives can't leave scratches. Wu Dian used "Yuwu Jue" to control it and took it to a distance for experiments. It didn't explode until it fell from a height of more than ten meters. The mana dissipates.
It seems that the stability is also very good, and there will be no embarrassing things like exploding in a slight collision.
You're done! This one spiritual stone can store all of Wu Dian's mana. Each additional stone will double his battery life. Unlike the "Hunyuan Dan", a mana-restoring elixir, absorbing spiritual stones can replenish mana very quickly. Can be performed during combat.
With spirit stones, those magic weapons and formations can be used to their fullest effect, instead of relying on the monks themselves to input magic power to drive them!
What's more important is that the series of grand blueprints behind him have the basis for realization.
Spiritual stones must be mass-produced! Wu Dian was in high spirits and called the old expert to consult him on how to produce high-quality synthetic jade.
The final decision was made to build a synthetic jade production factory in the open space next to the base. A veteran expert was hired as director with a high salary to be responsible for the production and processing of jade, making it into standard sizes and engraving energy storage runes. This is a delicate job that requires several training sessions. Only a skilled technician can come.
Just when he was designing the cornerstone of his own building, the results of the training in the base finally appeared. First, Deng Yue opened up the meridians throughout his body and produced mana. Within two days, Wang Ling followed suit and had mana.
Only practitioners who have generated magic power can be called monks and can use various spells.
In accordance with the old rules of the Great Wilderness Sect, and also for the sake of reward, Wu Dian taught the two people the "Object Control Technique", which could lay the foundation for carving runes and manipulating flying swords in the future.
Seeing Deng Yue and Wang Ling happily directing all kinds of gadgets to fly, the onlookers cheered, laughed, clapped and cheered, feeling envious and excited at the same time.
