?Chapter 880: 275. Magical Advantage
After breakfast, Nnd Lee had Denise Green cast a “Strong Energy Abundance” spell on him and then plunged back into intensive work.
The main material required for the magic crystal tube was Thunder and Lightning Energy, each consuming 100 million points.
Nnd spent half a day’s time, crafting 15 magic crystal tubes.
Combined with the one he had made during the trial, he now had 16 in total, corresponding to an addedputing power of 160,000 per second.
The magic ess meter was a bit troublesome to construct.
Before starting on the magic crystal tubes, Nnd wrote a letter to Silent Witch Jasmine Morgan who was in Union City, entrusting her to purchase the Alchemy Materials necessary for the magic ess meter. <div>
...
This deal was a profitable one for Comini.
Nnd would give her gold coins, and she would use Union Coins to buy the Alchemy Materials.
Considering the extreme imbnce in exchange rates between Union Coins and Ulnas Gold Coins, Comini spent only a fraction of the actual cost to obtain the materials Nnd needed,ting tens of thousands of gold coins in profit.
Nnd was aware of this, yet he still chose to proceed without hesitation.
The reason was nothing other than to establish a good rtionship with Comini under the guise of trade.
Comini was merely a Seven-ring Battle Witch; by maintaining a distance and employing Mental Magic, Nnd could easily defeat her.
So why did Nnd value Comini so highly?
The main reason was:
Nnd did not consider Comini as an opponent or enemy.
To be precise, he regarded the entire “Silent Maiden” faction as his allies.
Comini, Erica, and even Jenny whom he had only met a few times, were all his partners now or in the future.
Nnd provided them with gold coins to help strengthen theirbat abilities, enhancing his own external aid power.
What he spent now was tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of gold coins, but when the time came to ask for help, they could well turn intomitted external assistance.
Spend small money, umte goodwill, handle big affairs, this was the approach Nnd took in dealing with “Silent Maiden”.
Afterpleting the 15 magic crystal tubes, Comini sent over the Alchemy Materials.
Nnd called Selena Williams to assist him, with Nolin observing by the side.
In cooperation with Selena, it took Nnd five hours to construct the first magic ess meter.
The finished product looked simr to the alchemical ess device.
The differencey within its alchemy array, which used Thunder and Lightning Energy instead of Four Elements energy.
A metal cylinder about thirty centimeters in diameter served as the base of the magic ess meter, its grey appearance wrapped in ayer of unadorned metal skin.
Above the base was a ss sphere floating in mid-air, roughly the size of a human head.
The base was akin to a personalputer’s case, while the ss sphere was equivalent to aputer peripheral thatbined a disy, mouse, and keyboard into one.
Upon cing the magic crystal tube into the base and activating the ess meter, the ss sphere projected the operating interface onto the wall.
Because it utilized the “Alchemical ess Instrument Interaction Array,” the interface now disyed on the wall was identical to what Nnd had seen in the Alchemy Academy.
“I’m increasingly convinced that the Golden Federation is no simple entity.”
Nnd fiddled with the ss ball for a while, carefully observing the operating interface.
When he previously went to the Alchemy Academy to gather information, his focus was on data rted to the Fissure Corridor, without delving deeper into the alchemical ess device.
Now upon inspection, Nnd detected many unusual aspects.
The operating interface was constructed using the Federation’snguage, lines, rectangles, and other simple geometric shapes, appearing quite rudimentary but fully functional.
Its functions included inputting characters,posing Alchemy Forms, establishing databases, and calcting alchemy oues among others.
The genuine alchemical ess device used Four Elements Power, while this magic ess meter used Thunder and Lightning Energy supplied by the magic crystal tubes.
There was no functional difference between the two for the time being.
This indicated that the alchemical ess device had great energy adaptability.
Nolin tested the magic ess meter and came to a preliminary conclusion:
“Sir, the remarkable device that you and Miss Selena Williams have crafted performs on par with the personalputers from the Metal Creation Group 300 years ago in terms of performance and convenience.
“The 16 magic crystal tubes provideputing power of 160,000 points per second, of which the Alchemy ess Instrument Interaction Array upies about 120,000 points. The remainingputing power amounts to 40,000 points per second.
“The 16 magic crystal tubes provide a storage capacity of 160 million Crystal Lattice points. Simrly, the Interaction Array also upies some of thettice. The number ofttices currently avable for our disposal is 40 million points.”
Nolin pointed at the Magic Pen on the Craftsman Table:
“Perhaps, it would be easier to understand this device if I used thenguage of magic to measure it.
“When I write a document with nine Magic Pens simultaneously, theputing power output is approximately 45,000 points, and the number of characters and images written per second would fill about 4.5 sheets of Draft Paper.
“The data volume of 4.5 sheets of Draft Paper would upy 4.5 Crystal Lattices.
“Theputing power output level of this magic ess meter is simr to that of nine Magic Pens. Its data storage space is equivalent to 45 million sheets of Draft Paper.”
Nnd Lee said:
“I understand now. With this rudimentary magic ess meter, we now have nine automatically operating Magic Pens and 45 million nk sheets of Draft Paper. Do you have a way to fully utilize its performance? Operating this set of magic ess meters will also consume some of your ownputing power, won’t it?”
“Yes, sir.” Nolin pondered for a moment:
