Above the mage!

Chapter 183 1.1299
"What are the requirements to become a rune constructor?" asked Gaode.

He wondered if he met the requirements.

"First of all, you need to have extraordinary talent and extraordinary creativity in runes." He Xi looked at Gao De and said.

"It may not sound like a big deal, but this is not ten people, not a hundred people, but a thousand people."

He Xi said slowly: "On average, there is only one Rune Constructor among a thousand Rune Masters."

"This is the threshold for Rune Constructors."

"Because, if there are magic arrays and array diagrams that can be copied, then each set of rune construction will only be created by the rune constructor himself."

"A set of rune construction must ensure that the rune array on each component can operate and function independently. At the same time, when all the components are combined, the runes on them can form a large rune array and bring a powerful and unique construction effect."

It sounds a bit like the suit special effects in the RPG online game of the previous life, Gaode said secretly.

"In fact, most rune masters do not have the ability to create independently. They can only imitate, apply or even copy existing rune diagrams."

"This allows them to draw a magic circle, but it definitely won't allow them to create a rune construct."

"Because every mage's situation is different, and in order to make the same rune constructs for different mages, even if the magic conducting materials used are the same, the runes on the constructs will need to be adjusted due to the different areas."

"Of course, there are runes that can make constructs adapt to mages of similar size, but since rune constructs cannot be mass-produced, in most cases, rune constructs are mainly 'custom-made'."

"In this case, adaptation design is almost unnecessary and wastes precious rune energy, so it is usually not considered."

"Creativity is a hard requirement for rune constructors." He Xi said a lot in one breath and finally concluded.

Gao De listened silently, absorbed it, and then asked, "Any other conditions?"

Just now, He Xi started with "first of all".

"Another condition is that you must master the rune manufacturing technology."

"Rune processing technology, what is this?" Gao De couldn't help but ask. He had never heard of this term in the previous year of rune learning.

"It's what you are making now." He Xi smiled and pointed at the lacquer jade paper in Gao De's hand with his eyes.

Gao De's eyes naturally fell on the fingernail-sized piece of lacquered jade paper.

He Xi has begun to explain: "Runes construct different magic arrays, with a huge space for performance. The constructs will eventually be equipped on the mage, which means that the area of ​​each component of the construct is very limited."

"But a powerful magic array must have countless runes. The more powerful the magic array is, the more runes it has."

"So, what a rune constructor needs to do is to shrink a powerful magic array with tens of thousands of runes into a very small area. This is the rune manufacturing technology."

"The runes on high-level rune constructs are so fine that they can't even be seen with the naked eye. This is also the reason why rune constructs cannot be mass-produced."

"The level of rune manufacturing technology has the most direct impact on the level of rune construction."

"The standard for measuring rune manufacturing technology is the magnitude. The so-called magnitude refers to how many basic runes you can draw on this standard-sized lacquer jade paper."

"The higher the rune manufacturing technology level, the higher the integration, which means that more runes can be drawn on the same area of ​​magic conductive material, thus achieving more powerful rune capabilities and higher energy efficiency."

"As the number of process steps increases, more precise techniques and higher-grade photolithography pens are required."

"Photolithography pen?" Gao De frowned. This was another new term.

"It's actually a type of rune pen, but the 'light etching pen' is a rune pen specifically used to make rune structures. It can convert magic ink into finer light glue and draw runes on magic-conducting materials in the form of light etching."

He Xi briefly introduced the "photolithography pen" and turned the topic back to the process volume level.

“每一阶符文构装师，对于符文制程量级数都有严苛的要求，从高到低依次为130、90、45、32、14、10、7、5。”“也就是说，八阶符文构装师可以在这么一个指甲盖大小的漆玉纸上，绘制出由130个基础符文组成的魔法阵。”

Gao De felt horrified when he thought about that scene.

Is this still a human being?

It is difficult to even see it clearly, let alone draw it successfully.

"If you can draw a composite rune consisting of five basic runes on a standard-sized lacquer jade paper, it means that your process level is 5."

"This is already the rune manufacturing technology level of a first-level rune constructor."

"The only thing that limits you from becoming a first-level rune constructor is your mental strength."

"Because you must become a first-level wizard to adjust the runes of a first-level magic circle." He Xi said slowly.

“Or, wait until you derive the interference constant.” Gao De said with a smile.

"Do you believe in my six basic rules of runes? I have told you that these are just the rules I have personally summarized and are not necessarily correct." He Xi's eyes flashed slightly.

"They look so harmonious, simple and beautiful," Gao De said seriously, "Teacher, there is a saying that perfection in form often means correctness in theory."

This is the experience of a great scientist in his previous life who derived one of the cornerstone formulas of modern physics.

"Perfection in form often means correctness in theory," He Xi couldn't help but repeat it, the light in his pupils growing brighter.

"Also, mentor, I am not far from becoming a first-ring mage. I should be able to apply to the academy for a share of the Spiritual Water next month, and then try to be promoted to a first-ring mage." Gao De added.

He Xi is his mentor, and I can't wait until I become a 1st-level wizard before telling him.

This is not good.

"Huh?" He Xi was startled by Gao De again.

14 years old, 1st level mage.

In his eyes, this can only be regarded as a pretty good mage talent.

But the key point is that in his eyes, Gaode's character has always been a "Rune Genius", which has nothing to do with a "Mage Genius".

The sudden contrast was the reason why He Xi was shocked.

"Very good." After a long silence, he slowly opened his mouth and gave a heartfelt compliment.

"I also derived the interference constant C." Then, He Xi also gave Gao De a little bit of mentor shock.

"1.1299," He Xi said with a smile while looking at the stunned Gao De, "But it still needs to be verified, so I can't be sure it's correct for now."

"Remember this number. If my old bones can't hold on before then, the task will be handed over to you." Jose O'Kenley added this half-self-deprecatingly and half-seriously.

Gao De didn't know how to answer.

Although He Xi said it lightly, death is always a heavy thing.

"Don't be stressed, I'm still alive and well."

Looking at Gao De who had fallen into silence, He Xi smiled and said, "I will try to complete this task by myself. After all, these six basic rules of runes are the result of my life's work, and I also want to perfect them myself."
