Chapter 640 Double Triple Ring
"Deciphering the magic element reaction is important, but for sustainable development, the systematic training of researchers is an indispensable foundation." Seeing Leni's restraint, Gao De spoke up at the right time, turning the topic to the main matter.
Although only three years have passed, the northern region, which was once a barren frozen wasteland, now has increasingly complete infrastructure.
Survival is no longer a problem; everything is developing rapidly.
Leni's quantitative potion science, the emergence of the Breathing Furnace, and Hoshi's six laws of runes—these three things make the future of the North incredibly bright.
If these three can develop steadily along their trajectory, they will inevitably become three powerful engines propelling the train of the North forward at high speed.
But Gaode Maps has to admit one thing:
The discovery of these three items was largely driven by luck, with too much element of chance involved.
He west's six runic laws were because he was assigned He west as his mentor.
Leni was an SSR character obtained through 100 consecutive pulls.
The gas stove was found by sheer chance.
This sometimes makes Gaode (the map service provider) marvel at his own good fortune, as if he were blessed with a protagonist's halo.
Of course, good luck played a part, but more importantly, he was able to see the potential in these things and guide them onto the right track.
However, such luck certainly cannot last forever.
For the North to prosper, a well-timed rain is only a temporary measure; a stable irrigation system is the only way forward.
Luck cannot always be on his and the North's side.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the North has a continuous and powerful engine, it is necessary to establish a systematic research and development mechanism that does not rely on individual talent or luck.
“Yes, Your Highness.” Upon hearing this, Leni glanced at God, then quickly lowered her head and softly replied.
"Do you know what my expectations are for the Quantitative Potions Research Institute?" Gao De asked with a hint of emotion in his voice.
Leni looked up, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
"All great inventions are essentially a cycle of trying, failing, and trying again; luck is merely a catalyst that accelerates this process."
Gao paused for a moment, then said solemnly, "What I want to build is a platform that allows for efficient operation of trial and error."
The Quantitative Potions Research Institute will not only be the first professional research institution in the North, but also a systematic research and development facility unprecedented in the mage plane, distinct from traditional magic workshops.
"According to my plan, the Quantitative Potion Research Institute will focus on theoretical research, rather than simply producing potions."
Gao De stared intently at Leni. "As the director and chief researcher of the institute, you not only need to lead the construction of the quantitative potion science system, but also build the entire institute's structure."
According to Gaode's initial design, the basic framework of the Quantitative Magic Potion Research Institute is mainly divided into four levels.
These are assistant researcher, researcher, senior researcher, and chief researcher.
The most basic position is that of an assistant researcher, who is mainly responsible for basic tasks such as experimental operation, data recording, and equipment maintenance.
Candidates are required to have a solid foundation in quantitative potion science and a rigorous work attitude. They will be selected from quantitative potion classes in various universities.
Above that are the researchers, who, as the backbone of the project, need to be able to independently design experimental plans, analyze experimental data, and solve routine problems encountered in the research.
Above that is the senior researcher, who, as the project leader, has the right to independently choose research directions, form research teams, and tackle key challenges.
For example, the ongoing work by Leni on deciphering the reactive magic essence of the [Weak Silver Star Dew], as well as the project to optimize the magic essence ratio to improve cost-effectiveness, both fall within the responsibilities of a senior researcher.
Leni, as the principal investigator, is the academic leader in the entire field.
Not only are they required to propose groundbreaking research directions and lead major projects, but they are also responsible for cultivating high-level talent and guiding the development of the entire institute.
Listening to Gao De's eloquent speech, Leni's eyes widened slightly, and she subconsciously straightened her back. Even Sunefa's eyes lit up slightly.
In traditional magic workshops, mages mostly worked behind closed doors, at most taking one or two apprentices to assist them, and their research depended entirely on their personal interests and talents.
No one had ever thought of turning the research itself into an organized and systematic task with a division of labor.
The clearly defined division of labor and collaborative research and development model described by Gao De completely overturned the two's understanding of magic research.
It turns out that research is not just about one person racking their brains; it can also be about a group of people working together towards the same goal.
If there are so many talented people who have made great achievements in the same field, and each of them gives full play to their strengths, the efficiency will naturally be incomparable.
"However, at present, the research institute is just an empty shell."
Gao De changed the subject, his tone slightly teasing, "Besides you, the chief researcher and director, and this newly built quantitative potion research institute, there isn't even a single assistant researcher."
Leni blushed and quickly said, "Your Highness, Headmistress Elsa has already publicly recruited students interested in quantitative potion science at the school and has specially set up a quantitative potion class, which I will be responsible for teaching."
"More than 30 graduating students have already applied and passed the screening process, and they will be able to start their studies next month."
“Very good.” Gao De nodded in satisfaction, while taking the opportunity to instill some new concepts in little Leni that did not yet exist in this world.
"Talent is fundamental; only with fresh blood can the research institute truly function."
"In the future, the institute will form multiple specialized teams, led by senior researchers, to tackle different types of potions."
"Some teams focus on deciphering the magic element reaction formulas of combat potions to improve their efficacy and stability; other teams are responsible for discovering new sources of magic elements and finding cheaper and more readily available alternative raw materials."
When Leni heard Gao De describe how one or more teams, under the leadership of senior researchers, could leverage their respective strengths, cooperate and systematically tackle the magic element reaction formulas of each potion or explore the prospects of new magic elements, she felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
But Gaode is still "increasing its investment".
"The quantitative potion research institute is just the beginning." His voice carried an undeniable determination.
"Once this system is mature, we will also establish a Rune Research Institute, an Alchemy Research Institute, and an Extraordinary Biology Research Institute to cover all extraordinary fields."
"At that time, the North will no longer rely on accidental discoveries, but will be able to rely on its own research and development capabilities to continuously generate new technologies and new achievements. This is the North's true reliance."
"As a pioneer, the Institute of Quantitative Magic Potions is tasked with setting an example for the latter, and it is a long and arduous task."
As Gao De spoke, Leni's breathing became slightly rapid, and a strong sense of mission welled up in her heart.
"Your Highness, I will do my best," she whispered, clenching her fist quietly.
Seeing her like this, Gao De softened his tone and his gaze became gentle as he reassured her, "However, any plan must be adjusted according to the actual situation."
"You don't need to rush things. First, train the students in the quantitative potion class well, establish a complete training process and experimental standards, and gradually build the framework of the research institute."
“The establishment of any new system takes time. I value the correctness of the direction more and don’t put too much pressure on myself.”
Afterwards, Gao De inquired about Leni's health and living conditions, and advised her not to let work affect her health.
Finally, under Leni's respectful gaze, he and Sunefa left the Monopoly Potion Research Institute side by side. Less than two hours later, God and Sunefa returned to Phoenix from Flora Forest along Highway 318.
This highway, which runs through the core area of the North, has already completely changed the pace of time and space in both places.
He reviewed all the key projects currently underway in the North.
Everything is progressing smoothly, which allows Gaode to comfortably relinquish its responsibilities and refocus all its attention on itself.
The most important thing right now is to complete the third-level advancement of the "Green Wood Longevity Scripture" before starting the attempt at spell fusion.
[Resonance of All Laws] It has been several days since the awakening, and Gaode has long been eager to try it out.
Unlike the straightforward advancement in "The Secret Transmission of Zhenbing", the ascension path in "The Longevity Scripture of Qingmu" is a conventional path for mages, without the backing of bloodline power.
Although Gao De was already very confident, he still chose the location of the Ascension Ring under the Ice Jade Wutong Tree to be on the safe side.
Not only does it possess both ice and wood elemental properties, but it also boasts the highest magic concentration in Phoenix, providing the gentlest energy support for the ring ascension.
Gao De sat cross-legged under the tree and took out the [Frost Whale Potion] that he had prepared beforehand.
As the top-tier upgrade potion in Etherland County, the [Frost Whale Potion] is made primarily from Cold Frost Incense and can directly increase the success rate of upgrades by 40%, making it a coveted advancement aid for countless mages.
The moment the cork was pulled out, a refreshing yet mellow aroma wafted out.
It lacks the pungent smell of ordinary potions, instead carrying a hint of the salty freshness of the deep sea and the subtle fragrance of herbs.
Gao De tilted his head back and drank the entire bottle of medicine in one gulp.
The moment the medicine entered my mouth, it wasn't the expected sharp, pungent taste that rushed straight to my throat. Instead, it first melted on the tip of my tongue with a slightly cool sweetness, like a sweet crabapple tree nourished by snowmelt.
As it slid down my throat, the coolness suddenly intensified, transforming into a warm, icy current.
It neither burns the throat nor stings the bones; instead, it brings a soothing comfort.
But when the medicine reached the abdomen, the real "cold" suddenly erupted.
It was as if a giant, frozen sea monster was awakening within him, and a chilling power spread outwards.
The pale golden energy particles in the medicinal liquid could be seen to diffuse with the naked eye.
Within the pool of mana, the previously dormant wood magic crystal began to resonate spontaneously, emitting a faint hum.
"As expected of a top-tier magic potion," Gao De thought to himself, feeling the medicinal power seep into every corner of the wood magic crystal like a fine spring rain, accumulating energy for the upcoming crystal fission.
However, before officially starting the ring upgrade, Gaode didn't forget to use the [Divination+] tool to predict his own ring upgrade result.
The result this time was straightforward: everything went smoothly.
"lucky".
Without further hesitation, he completely released himself from the constraints of the "Green Wood Longevity Scripture" power.
The magic power beneath the Ice Jade Wutong Tree suddenly became unusually active, surging wildly towards Gao De's body.
On the right side of the mana pool within his body, the emerald green wood magic crystal suddenly glowed with a warm green light under the dual stimulation of the medicine and external magic.
If the Ascension Ring in "The Secret Transmission of Zhenbing" is a fission of destruction and reconstruction, then the Ascension Ring in "The Longevity Scripture of Qingmu" is an evolution of continuous life.
The first hurdle in advancing from the second to the third ring is still crystal fission, but the fission of wood-type crystals is completely different from that of ice-type crystals.
Instead of a crisp cracking sound, there was a rustling sound like sprouting and growing.
The vein-like patterns on the surface of the magic crystal began to glow, with soft green light illuminating one after another from the root to the tip.
The emerald green magic crystal slowly expanded during this process, gradually increasing in size, and began to peel off piece by piece.
As the Wood Magic Crystal split, Gao De could clearly feel that the wood-type magic power within his body was increasing exponentially.
The potency of the [Frost Whale Potion] played a crucial role at this moment.
The pale golden energy particles acted as a catalyst, accelerating the splitting and growth of the magic crystal.
It also neutralizes the subtle energy conflicts generated during fission, making the whole process smooth and stable.
The fragmented magic crystals began to recombine, forming a new star core magic crystal.
But this is just the beginning.
Just as the Star Core Magic Crystal took shape, three slender green light trails suddenly lit up inside the crystal, like three intertwined vines, slowly flowing around.
This is the signature feature of a third-ring mage: mana star trails.
The three mana star trails of "spell condensation", "mana storage", and "elemental resonance" took shape in sequence.
Even without the help of bloodline power, Gao De, relying on his already established stats as a third-circle mage and the boost from potions, reached the required level in one step without encountering any difficulties.
As the three magical star orbits operated stably, the chain reaction brought about by the ascending ring occurred simultaneously.
Enhance your mental strength!
The energy gift from the rising ring was like a gentle rain, nourishing his soul.
This caused his already astonishing mental strength value to steadily increase from 355 to a stable 366 points, reaching the threshold of the late stage of the third ring.
The subsequent development of magical star systems, the transformation of physical bodies into elements, and even the awakening of specialties all came to an abrupt end because they had already been completed long ago.
So, in less than half an hour, Gaode slowly opened his eyes.
He stretched out his right hand, and a green halo appeared at his fingertips.
With a gentle flick, a wisp of wood-elemental magic transformed into a small, tender leaf, slowly unfurling in his palm before turning into an ice crystal, shimmering with a silvery-white luster.
He could switch between the two magical powers with ease, without the slightest stagnation.
He could clearly feel that the two star core magic crystals in his body were like two stars, operating independently yet resonating with each other.
The rotation of the mana orbiter brought the compatibility between the two elements to an unprecedented level.
"The 'Green Wood Longevity Scripture,' the third ring, is complete." Gao De muttered to himself, a smile playing on his lips.
The magic that had been somewhat agitated under the Ice Jade Wutong Tree because of his Ascension Ring gradually calmed down.
Gao De stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt a comfortable soreness in his body, a normal reaction to the abundance of magical power.
At this moment, he not only possesses the magical power of two triple rings, but also has the hardware foundation for the fusion of spells.
The development of 【Resonance of All Laws】 can finally be officially put on the agenda!
