Chapter 3186 (1/2)
Magic array is a kind of energy circuit arranged according to specific rules. This is the basic definition of magic array given by the system. Of course, there are a lot of derived information. However, no matter how it is changed, the magic array is always an energy circuit, which will not change at all, because this is the basis of magic array.
Since magic array is an energy loop, and the energy itself has no fixed form, so if you want to make the energy work according to your idea, you need to use some methods to affect the flow direction of energy.
The most traditional form of energy constraint is to use the impedance principle similar to the circuit to make low magic resistance circuit.
When magic flows through space, it will naturally choose the channel with the least impedance, which is very similar to the current characteristics in reality. So, we can use low magic resistance materials, like Mithril, to build energy circuits. Because the magic resistance of the secret silver is very small, so the magic will not choose air or other substances with higher magic impedance as the flow medium, but will move along the secret silver, so that we can get the simplest magic circuit. When you need to arrange the magic array, you just need to arrange the secret silver according to the structure you want, and the magic will naturally follow the path of the secret silver line, so a controlled magic array is completed.
Of course, using low magic impedance materials to make circuits is still the simplest way. This method has many defects, such as magic interference.
Just like electricity, magic can actually spread in the air. In theory, any substance in the game can allow magic to pass through, but the amount of it is different. Even if it is the refined gold with extreme magic resistance, although we generally think that it does not guide the devil at all, in fact, it can transmit magic power. It is only because the magic impedance of the refined gold is too large, so the magic power would rather spread from the surrounding air than from the refined gold, so that we would think that the refined gold is not conductive to the devil at all.
Our guild had done an experiment before. A time bomb was set up in a sealed gold box. The bomb detonated a magic shock scroll instead of explosive. Therefore, when the bomb exploded, it would not produce an outward impact force, but would radiate a lot of magic impact. If the refined gold does not guide the devil at all, theoretically speaking, when the bomb explodes, we should not receive any magic outside. Because the box is completely sealed, the magic must pass through the refined gold box. Before that, everyone thought that the refined gold did not guide the devil, so we all thought that the magic signal should not be received outside.
However, the experimental results are just the opposite. We have received the signal, although it is very weak, but there is really magic spread out, which shows that the refined gold is not without guiding the devil, but the magic impedance is too large, so the magic guiding rate can not be measured.
According to this principle, if you simply use a low magic impedance material to build a circuit, although most of the magic will go along this path, there will still be some magic that directly choose to flow through these materials because of the material between the circuits to guide the magic.
If only part of the magic power is lost, but the key is that the magic array is a kind of artifact that pays attention to precision. More or less magic will change the result greatly. Therefore, this kind of unplanned magic flow is a very bad characteristic for the magic array itself.
To solve this problem is actually simple. Wrap the high magic impedance material with the low magic impedance material to form a double-layer wire, just like the wire in reality. Inside is the copper wire with high conductivity, and the outside is almost non-conductive insulating rubber, so that the current will not jump randomly. Although it is impossible to completely guarantee that the current will not leak out, because the proportion of leakage is very small, it can be ignored.
Therefore, if the magic wire is made of refined gold wrapped with secret silver, and then this wire is used to arrange the magic array, the magic utilization rate and power of this magic array will be greatly improved, and it will also have the ability of anti-interference. That's what protective wires do.
Of course, gold and silver are super expensive things in the game. The secret silver is better. It is really more expensive than the essence of gold. Most people can't afford it. Most of the time, it's good to have a little gold in a piece of equipment. If you want to use this thing to build a wire protection layer, it's something that only local tyrants can do. Of course, as the largest local tyrant in the game, we really have this magic array in frost rose League, but the magic array is more important. It really needs this level of protection, not that we are rich and willful.
In fact, setting a protective layer is just a way of thinking. It is not necessary to use refined gold to isolate energy leakage, and the magic wire in the middle does not have to use secret silver. Although the secret silver is much cheaper than the refined gold, it is still quite expensive, just like the price difference between gold and diamond. Although gold is much cheaper than diamonds, gold itself is not worthless, right? Therefore, although the output of secret silver is higher than that of refined gold and the price is much lower, it is definitely not something you can use at will.
In fact, as long as there is a low magic impedance material as the wire, and then a high magic impedance material as the outer protective layer, there is no need for secret silver and refined gold.
The most commonly used magic scroll is actually the product of this idea.
Magic scrolls are usually made of animal skin or special paper. Magic array is painted with special magic potion or directly with the blood of Warcraft.Here as the matrix of animal skin is generally the skin of Warcraft, not because the skin of Warcraft guide the devil, but because of its high magic resistance, so it can be used. Warcraft generally have magic resistance, and this resistance is due to their skin magic resistance is very high, because the magic can not penetrate, so when attacked by magic, the damage will be reduced a lot.
The purpose of using the high magic resistance of the Warcraft skin as the matrix or using the special high magic impedance paper as the matrix is to prevent the magic from flowing randomly in the matrix layer, which leads to the magic out of control, and does not follow the array designer's design.
The Warcraft blood and magic potion used to draw magic scrolls exist as wires. Its characteristics and matrix are just the opposite. Its characteristic is that the magic impedance is very low, which can make a lot of magic flow on it. Moreover, Warcraft blood itself has the function of storing magic power. Because the scroll is not like the permanent magic array fixed on a solid object, it can install magic core, magic crystal and other things as the power source, so it needs to store its own magic power. Because of this, the materials used to draw a magic array must have high magic accumulation ability in addition to its low magic impedance. Otherwise, the magic array cannot be started without energy supply.
The magic scroll matrix material does not guide the magic here, that is, when the scroll is rolled up, because the matrix of the magic scroll does not guide the magic, it will seal up the magic power, so as to prevent the magic from disappearing naturally. That's why most magic circles will take effect as soon as they are opened, because when they are opened, you can open the magic isolation channel at the same time, so that the magic can flow freely.
Of course, in order for the magic scroll not to release the energy company in advance during the drawing and charging process, the array planner must also learn a kind of magic called sealing array. This kind of magic is an essential skill for the array cartographer. Its function is to stop the flow of magic in a short period of time, so that the array cartographer can finish the magic array without activating it before it is rolled up.
Finally, the permanent magic array is the kind of luxury magic array that uses heavy and hard objects such as metal or rock as the foundation, uses secret silver or magic crystal powder as the wire, and uses pure gold or magic paint as the protective coating. Their design and the general magic array is very different. Because it has a fixed foundation, it has good structural stability. This kind of magic array can often complete large or high difficulty and high stability requirements of magic. That is to say, for permanent magic array, it is usually not small magic. For example, the commonly used transmission array is the typical perpetual magic array.
These permanent magic arrays often have a dedicated magic input port, that is, a magic crystal slot, and will use magic gems as the center to play a one-way filtering or boosting magic power. Anyway, this magic array is very powerful.
However, the number of permanent magic arrays is very few. The reason why we think that these permanent magic arrays are many is that they can be reused many times, and some of them can even be used for tens of thousands of years. As a result, as long as they are permanent magic arrays, they are usually preserved. As a result, there are so many permanent magic arrays that people mistakenly think of these permanent magic arrays It's used a lot. In fact, the production of these permanent magic arrays is not large because of the high difficulty and cost. The real high-yield magic array is mainly the temporary magic array drawn by magicians and the magic scrolls.
The magic scroll said before, but temporary magic array is a kind of super simple magic array.
The so-called temporary magic array is a magic array made of materials prepared in advance or temporarily found by mages in order to use. For example, the space mage can directly draw the teleportation magic array on the ground to complete the personnel transmission. The magic array directly drawn on the ground is the so-called temporary magic array.
Because the temporary magic array is drawn on the ground, the matrix is the ground, which determines that it will not be too stable, and it can not support too high magic intensity. Therefore, generally, this kind of magic array can not be too complicated, and it needs to be drawn very large. The space distance is used to artificially increase the magic impedance of the ground, so as to strengthen the insulation effect between wires.
In fact, in addition to the temporary magic array painted on the ground, there is also a magic array that is not usually considered as magic array, that is, the floating magic array drawn by magicians in the void before themselves when using magic.
This magic array does not have any matrix, wire and insulating layer. It is completely composed of energy, and is suspended in the air. There is no support at all. Of course, normally speaking, the magic power will not be so obedient in the air and line up according to your wishes, but magicians can use their own mental strength to constrain the magic power and arrange them according to this rule. This is why only super high-level magic array can draw this kind of magic array, because low-level magicians can't restrain the magic in the magic array with their mental power Draw magic circle. Moreover, in the whole process, the magic array can not be distorted, which is quite difficult to do for the magic array suspended in the air, which is also one of the reasons why the floating magic array is difficult to do.
However, although this kind of magic array is difficult to do, once you learn to use this way to release magic, you will find that this is the foundation of powerful senior mages. Just as we explained before, the magic power released by the magic crystal is different from the magic power released by the magic array. If a mage can input his own magic into the magic array, then the same magic input will produce different power. Moreover, although in theory, a mage can only inject magic into one magic at the same time, it does not limit how many magic arrays you can control. As long as you can be busy, you can fully charge more than a dozen magic arrays in advance, and then wait for the time when you need to go out in one breath. Of course, learning to do this is just learning to cast plural spells. Christina's situation belongs to another system.Although this kind of void drawing magic array technology is the only way for the powerful magician, but for us, the key is not here.
This gun can compress the magic power, and then launch the magic array into a complete magic structure. This is the most important part. The gun is lifeless, naturally it has no soul, so it can not have spiritual power. Without mental power, this gun can launch magic circle. What does that mean?
This shows that the designer of the gun has mastered a technique that can keep the pure energy magic array stable for a period of time without any external constraints.
Is this a great technology?
Of course, cattle, and it's the end of the cattle.
Stabilized pure energy magic array without control at all. Even if it can only last for a short period of time, this significance is not trivial. If the mages master this technique, they can ignore their control and concentrate on developing casting speed.
The reason for limiting plural casting was that the mages had limited energy. When he was maintaining two magic circles, he could not distract himself from drawing the third magic array, because it is impossible for a person to use it with one heart and stabilize two or three magic circles at the same time, and then draw a magic array. No one can do this. However, if the magic array drawn before can completely ignore it, it will be different. As long as before the time limit of the first magic array is reached, and they are set to start at the same time point, then when you reach this time point, how many magic arrays can you complete, you will have the ability to cast several spells.
Although the duration of this kind of magic array will not be too long, the mage can't draw too many magic arrays even if he doesn't care about the previous magic array. However, compared with the previous situation that only two or three magic arrays can be maintained, many mages can complete three or four, and some fast five or six are not impossible. How much combat effectiveness can the mages increase in just this?
