The correct way to open the elf

Chapter 157 Feng Yu's Magic Research

Feng Yu thought to himself, why don’t you just say you can’t do it?

Then, he looked at Anthony and Nitia. One of them was a great magician, and the other was a ruthless elf who had mastered magical enhancement. They should be able to give him an answer.

The two were indeed experts in magic and succeeded after just two tries.

Great Sage Anthony shook his head and said, "Yes, but it's useless. Doing so will destroy the stability of the magic and cause it to collapse faster."

Feng Yu didn't know what magic was. He took the alcohol on the table and spilled some on the ground. He said, "Adjust the movement of the magic element to the fastest frequency possible, and then try to attack this pool of water."

Anthony fiddled with it for a few times, then sent out a low-level magic wooden arrow, which nailed into the wet ground. Before the wooden arrow could disintegrate, there was a bang and a flame ignited there.

"Temperature, this is universal."

Clarence asked in confusion, "What does this mean?"

"This means that the magic elements activated by mental power also conform to the characteristics of natural elements. Ordinary wooden arrows cannot ignite alcohol, but through the principle of temperature, the temperature of the wooden arrows has reached a temperature that can ignite alcohol."

"But every formal magician knows the magic of fire-starting..." Clarence murmured.

"This has nothing to do with the purpose of magic, but rather a question of the nature of the magic element. This shows that magic also conforms to the principle of temperature."

Feng Yu was stunned for a moment and said, "It can't be said that it has nothing to do with magic. Think about it, if the frost magic of the water mage slows down the movement of this element, can it make its temperature lower, and then make ice magic such as ice spear more solid and durable?!
Isn't this the same spell enhancement as yours?
In other words, this principle is not only useful for fire magicians, but also for ice magicians. This is the power of temperature.

If we have a chance, we should find an ice mage to experiment with, and maybe we can train another mage who can use enhanced magic!"

Clarence said in surprise: "Is it possible?!"

"This is just my guess. It's not accurate. It depends on the experimental results. If water magic can not only change the temperature but also simulate alcohol, then simple water magic can be transformed into powerful fire magic.

A huge, flaming water ball hits the enemy, and after the water ball breaks, it can still splash and burn. Isn't that equivalent to a small-scale fire magic? !
Don't forget, Water Ball Magic is a magic that all apprentice water magicians can use."

Clarence was surprised, then thought for a moment and said, "No, not to mention apprentice-level magicians, even high-level water mages cannot change magic, so they cannot use this kind of variant magic.

As for the water magicians who have reached the mentor level, combat magicians have long been able to use group attack magic of this system. It doesn’t make much sense to change it. Instead, it is better to study temperature and strengthen ice magic!"

"Um... Just be happy. I just want to see the relationship between elements and magic elements. As for how to use them, that's up to you magicians."

Clarence: “…”

While they were talking, Nitia used her enhanced magic, the Ground Spike Technique, and then poured the alcohol that Feng Yu had placed on the table onto the ground spikes. Suddenly, a large ball of fire ignited.

"Pour less, that's pure alcohol!"

Feng Yu reminded loudly, thinking that this elf aunt was quite amazing, as she had realized the application of temperature to magic so quickly.

Anthony looked at Feng Yu and said, "So, you are studying magic?"

"No, we were studying natural elements, and we happened to think that magical elements might have the same properties as natural elements, so we asked you to try it out."

"The results of it?"

Feng Yu spread his hands and said, "I don't know either. It would be nice if there was a water mage or a wind mage."

Anthony said, "I understand what you mean, but after the free magic elements are activated by mental power, they become usable magic. Although their appearance can be changed, it is difficult to change their internal properties. At least the Grand Mage cannot do it.

I'm curious, how did you start studying magic?"

"Well, I'm not researching magic, but I've made some progress in my research on natural elements, and Mage Clarence has used this to strengthen his magic, so we're just connecting our thoughts on this."

Anthony didn't take it seriously at first, but when Feng Yu explained to him in detail the properties of chemical elements and how to change substances through chemical changes, he began to get nervous.

Although Anthony didn't care much about the research institute set up by Feng Yu, the composition of natural matter was nothing. This was already challenging his worldview.

"...Anyway, there are both good and bad sides. The good side is that the camp's technological level will surely advance rapidly as the periodic table of elements on the Grein Continent is determined.

Just like our salt fields, they have begun to be transformed into more efficient and better quality salt fields.

The disadvantage is also the salt fields, because as long as people who live near the sea learn the periodic table and chemical formulas, they can make their own salt, and the same goes for gunpowder and explosives for thermal weapons.

Fortunately, our camp is located in a remote area, and all the people in the institute are our own people, so there is nothing to worry about.

However, in order to protect the secrets of the salt pan and smokeless gunpowder, we will have to close the research institute in the future. We will not be able to let people come and go as they please."

Old man Anthony nodded. The secrets of the camp’s most important salt fields and hot weapons must be well protected.

Nitia said, "Smokeless gunpowder is made by chemistry?"

"Yes, chemistry is a science that studies the changes in matter in the world. The invention of smokeless gunpowder was achieved based on the knowledge of chemistry."

"Will you continue to research more powerful smokeless gunpowder?"

Feng Yu shook his head and said, "Smokeless gunpowder is enough for now. It is more powerful, and our gun barrels can't stand it. The progress of science is complementary, and each science cannot be too low.

Next, we will focus on high-performance insulating paint and training new students, and the research on gunpowder will be put aside for the time being."

Nitya asked in confusion, “Is that the kind of paint that’s applied to copper wire?”

"That's right!"

"What's the use?"

"As long as we have high-performance insulating paint, we can produce more powerful electric currents, even comparable to lightning. At that time, we can use the power of lightning to forge better steel and produce more powerful weapons."

"Electricity comparable to thunder?!"

Not only Nitiya, but even old man Anthony took a breath.
