Chapter 3427: Nine Nines of Purity External Situation

The micro nebula in this strange crystal is the constrained concrete power of time, which is about half of the total power of time carried by the previous time gem.

This is inevitable. After all, at the beginning, Xia Duo did not know how to constrain the power of time, and the research process itself would cause waste.

Later, after knowing how to constrain it, it is still necessary to study how to use the power of time. This part of the consumption cannot be generated out of thin air, and it still comes from the time gem obtained before.

In the end, being able to keep half is the limit of what Xia Duo can do. If he is asked to do it again, he dare not guarantee that he can keep so much.

This strange crystal is a purely man-made product. The complex mithril threads in the crystal are the carrier of the spell used to constrain the power of time. The crystal itself is just an encapsulation, taking its transparent quality.

If you don’t care whether it is transparent or not, you can use other materials.

In fact, mithril is not the best material for spell carriers. Even high-quality mithril with a purity of nine nines will still undergo elemental transmutation, making the spell it carries ineffective.

The best material is actually arcane string, but the magic items made of arcane string have a characteristic that cannot be said to be good or bad for the time being, that is, they are huge.

If it is used to make a permanent portal, it doesn’t matter if it is larger, but if it is used to make a small portable magic tool, it is actually impossible.

In addition, although arcane string is almost never worn and never deteriorates, it is a kind of material created by magic after all, and its stability is not as good as that of real matter.

In the end, after comprehensive consideration, Xia Duo decided to use mithril to make a spell carrier that restrains the power of time, which is what is usually called "mithril components" in the process of making magic tools.

After all, this part of the time power that he restrained and preserved is very limited, and it will be used next, so he doesn’t care about the shelf life of the mithril components.

After all, it is a high-quality mithril with a purity of nine nines. Even Xia Duo can only prepare a small amount in the laboratory (the cost is too high to consume). Even if it is used as a war tool, it can be used for several years if it is used frequently.

At present, this strange crystal should not be a problem to preserve it for one or two hundred years under normal circumstances.

The actual situation is that this strange crystal may become useless in the next one or two days. If Daphne's source of time power can be obtained later, it may still be useful.

If not, then Xia Duo will most likely recycle it for reuse. After all, it is a high-quality mithril with a purity of nine nines. Even if the purity after recycling decreases, it is still among the high-quality ones.

This level of high-quality mithril is not used at all in daily life, but it is indispensable for some cutting-edge research, such as universal magic computers. Xia Duo still has ideas in this regard!

...

After closing the time acceleration array, Xia Duo took another look at the strange crystal in his hand, and saw that the microscopic nebula that could be seen in the geometric center of the crystal had now been completely gathered and turned into a very small light spot.

Although it is the aggregation of countless starlight, this light spot is not strong, and it can even be said that there is no obvious change in the brightness of the previously scattered starlight.

This process of nebula aggregation into light spots, and the process of spreading into nebulae again after entering the time acceleration area, is not unfamiliar to Xia Duo. He has experimented many times before.

Otherwise, he would not dare to store the strange crystal that preserves the only power of time in the time acceleration zone for a long time. From this perspective, at least in terms of preserving the power of time, he has already walked ahead of the Illuminati.

Of course, it is also possible that the time gem does not have the function of restraining the power of time as he thinks, but from the only phenomenon, he has indeed surpassed the Illuminati in this regard.

Xia Duo encouraged himself in his heart. In fact, there is no evidence that the Illuminati has any excellence in preserving the power of time. If you always think that the Illuminati has a backhand, then just surrender.

After collecting the strange crystal that preserves the power of time, Xia Duo immediately connected to the alliance command network to obtain the latest information from the outside world.

Before mastering the method of effectively restraining the power of time, in order to prevent the power of time from being accelerated and dissipated, the acceleration multiple of the time acceleration array cannot be raised too high.

This also makes Xia Duo unable to ignore the passage of time in the outside world. In the more than one year that he perceives himself, two days have actually passed in the outside world!

Thanks to the increasing proficiency of the reinforcement mages in Yongle City in manipulating the war spell system, and the great support of various countries for the battlefield of the source of time-related signals in their own countries.

The local battlefield has not collapsed yet, at least there has not been a scene of "Xia Duo just walked out of the time acceleration array, and the Illuminati completed the ultimate ritual".

As long as the ultimate ritual has not been completed, the alliance will always have the possibility of a complete victory.

Of course, once the ultimate ritual of the Illuminati is completed, even if Xia Duo has mastered the use of the power of time, it is impossible to turn the tables.

Theoretically, it is possible to turn the tables, but that requires him to fully master the means of conducting timeline wars without the help of the power of time, or to have enough time power.

He does not have these two conditions. In fact, as long as he has enough time power, he can naturally study the means of conducting timeline wars without the help of time power, but what he lacks most now is the power of time.

So when Xia Duo came out of the time acceleration array and learned that the Illuminati had not yet completed the ultimate ritual and the local battlefield had not collapsed, he was really overjoyed.

As for Elan, the follow-up investigation derived from the line radiating from the Underdark.

After coming out, Shado asked Tarafu immediately, and Tarafu's answer also made Shado particularly satisfied-

"All the underground cracks in the Elan area have been found, but whether they are connected to the Underdark and the location of the Illuminati rituals needs further exploration. At present, Uta is investigating the most likely cracks, and I believe there will be results soon."

Uta is the Calimshan who was transformed into an earth element by the wind element lord in the Wind Chaser War. Before entering the time acceleration area, Shado had already learned his identity.

At this moment, hearing his name again, he really felt like he was in another world, and it was true. He felt that more than a year had passed, but only two days had passed in the outside world.

Of course, two days is already a long time for the current war between the Illuminati and the Alliance. If it is delayed for a while, it is very likely that everything will be lost.

And now is the best result seen so far. Next, Shado will strive for the best result in the future.
