Chapter 693 Completion of defense and reminder from Sun Ring Wizard

Chapter 693 Completion of the defense and reminder from the Sun Circle wizard

Locke pointed to the picture projected by the magic of the Illusion School and said: "In the traditional view, the energy storage of magic plants relies heavily on seeds or tubers. But my team and I discovered the roots of a special structure that can temporarily store energy."

 hh "This kind of root has a special structure of glandular root capsule, which can temporarily store energy and release energy in a short period of time."

 hh "So, this is my cross-innovation of plant physiology and energy metabolism. After testing, the glandular root capsule structure can effectively improve the instantaneous burst capability of magic plants."

“I transferred this structure to a big snow-topped pineapple using the grafting cultivation method. The normal magic plant traits of the big snow-topped pineapple generally increased its performance by about 10%, but the peak magic pressure that broke out in an instant was -twice.” The way the agave ketone body converts agave acid liquid, it releases magical energy——"

  "Each unit of agave ketone body converted into agave acid liquid can release about three times of magic pressure of the one-ring fireball spell."

 "Similarly, each unit of agave ketone body can store the magic pressure equal to three one-ring fireball spells."

"The process and result of converting agave ketones into agave acid is harmful to the plant, and after the plant withers, it will cause a lot of soil acidification."

 "Agave acid is originally a natural magic structural component of the school of conjuration and plasticity, and likes to use it to make acid magic bullets. It is a spell full of dangers in itself. "

 Locke said: "Agave ketone bodies are very explosive substances, so this energy-locking structure, the glandular root capsule, has a special structure at the spiritual level to stabilize the agave ketone bodies."

 "But therefore a large amount of additional energy resources are required to maintain this structure."

Locke continued to explain the significance of his research results, saying: "My research has filled the research gap of "short-term energy scheduling of plants.""

"This fully illustrates that some articles within the alchemy school and the summoning school have a narrow-minded prejudice against the insufficient ability of magic plants to burst magic damage."

The three judges looked at each other.

 As expected, the quality of Locke's Zhenzhiyuan's research is very high.

 Although it is only a project used by Zhenzhiyuan to train young wizards, he can always produce results that are both important and innovative, but very practical.

 In Locke, basic research and commercial practicality will always be involuntarily intertwined.

 It is as if he has a special magic that makes retreat and pragmatism intersect.

 This is different from most of the young wizards in Jinmian Mountain who like to stay in high places.

 Locke has a very contradictory temperament. He has the temperament of being well-educated, but also has the temperament of rising up from the bottom step by step.

 This kind of temperament is familiar to them, because the witch Catherine also has it.

 Most of Catherine the Witch's theoretical research may ultimately lead to a large amount of commercial research.

 That's why, as a foreign wizard, she has so many shop alliances in the Jinmian Mountain area and Yunze Wetland.

She can use the profits from those shop alliances to reversely influence the Academic Committee, the Golden Mian Mountain Holy Master Tribunal, and even bribe those wizards in major key laboratories who clearly remain neutral among the four major factions of Golden Mian Mountain.

 She can maintain a huge monitoring system to monitor the general movements of each team member in her hands.

  The Sun Circle Wizards of the Senate are not very familiar with Locke, but at this moment Locke is already a contestant in the Great Magic Modeling Competition, and there is no conflict of interest with their Senate, so they only have pure appreciation for Locke.

  He kept nodding. "This glandular root capsule structure has indeed filled the research gap in the energy-locking structure of a ring of magic plants for short-term energy storage."

  "Although it seems to have to pay a large price, it is not common among the magic plant groups in various worlds."

Locke then went on to explain the working mechanism of the four natural magic structural components, energy transformation, and the special spiritual structure of the glandular root capsule.

   He simply explained the function, principle, mechanism of action of this newly discovered locking energy structure, as well as possible future application directions, as well as related significance.

 Locke grasped his main innovation point, which is the rare temporary energy locking structure in plants.

 Him knowing this is a bonus, and it will make it easier for him to pass the final defense of the first-class project fund and not be turned back by the judges.

 Locke glanced at the three judges.

Hao wizard is a breeder who prefers to study specialized varieties of plants such as overlords.

The wizards of the Senate and the Rose Council pay more attention to whether the bionic structures of plants can be used in energetics.

 One is to pay attention to the specific spiritual structure of plants and whether it can be used in rose flower linguistics.

 The three of them are all wizards in the direction of breeding students under the School of Life, a university sect, but they are also wizards in various major and minor categories of magic.

  The Sun Ring Wizard of the Senate is a small type of magic plant bionic structure.

  The sun ring in the Rose Council is the flower whisperer.

 Haw wizard is a three-ring wizard. I don’t know much about his research field.

  Three-ring wizards and second-ring wizards have different ecological niches.

Team leader Sis gave himself the subject backgrounds of the judges before the defense, so that he could find the focus for the defense.

  After all, if there were more ecologists among the judges, I would have emphasized the impact of the glandular root capsule and energy-locking structure on the wild adaptability of magic plants.

 But now there are more wizard judges who prefer the application of magic plant structure.

 Hence, Locke focused on explaining the role of the gland capsule and energy-locking structure in the magic of various universities.

 Locke talked about it, and in the final stage, he summarized the possible applications that he thought were possible. "I think this structure is of great reference for the energy buffering system of the School of Power, especially the Wave Mechanics."

  "In the Rose Language School, the magic bouquet also has a role in strengthening the basic spirituality-"

 The three judges nodded one after another, and they all felt that Locke was interested.

  Locke can say this because he has read their works respectively, otherwise he would not specifically mention potential applications in the fields they are familiar with in the summary stage.

  The three judges had a better impression of Locke.

· Locke said: "In general, the glandular root capsule structure is more like a niche route attempt for plants. At the cost of consuming a lot of additional resources, taking risks, and soil acidification, the glandular root capsule structure is adopted. Temporary energy storage structure——"

 "Overall, it cannot be said to be too efficient, but it will definitely have its unique usage in certain specific fields."

 Fifteen minutes later, Locke ended his defense.

The three wizards looked at each other, and the Sun Ring Wizard of the Senate did not take the initiative to speak.

 As the wizard of Golden Mian Mountain, he needs to make the finale and control the rhythm of the questioners.

  Prevent two high-level wizards from stunned the young first-level wizard.

 But at this moment, he also knew that this was just his usual habit of answering questions, and the young man in front of him didn't seem to need this kind of finale.

  The Sun Ring Wizard of the Rose Council thought of his good friend, Witch Lana, who had praised Locke several times in front of him.

 Her first impression of Locke was originally good.

  The wizards of the Rose Council are all more emotional, or this is also a common trait among flower whisperers.

 For the wizards they like, they are naturally very good in their eyes, but for the wizards they don't like, they really don't like them at all.

 But in fact, it has little to do with whether these wizards are really good or not.

 This is just the character trait of those flower talkers.

   Even a very good young wizard can find many faults in you if they don't like it.

 It's just that the current Sun Ring wizard Nina Witch has a certain good impression of Locke because of her relationship with Lana Witch.

 Locke's outstanding performance at this moment naturally further won her favor.

Witch Nina looked at Locke with bright eyes. The flower talker wanted to study the spirituality and natural magic structure of rose-like magic plants. Her perception of spirituality was better than that of ordinary wizards, and her natural emotions were richer than those of ordinary wizards.

  She nodded to Locke. "Wonderful. Lana told me about you. At that time, I thought she was biased. But now I find that she was right, you are indeed an outstanding wizard."

Locke was neither humble nor overbearing, and said: "Thank you, Lady Lana, for complimenting me. I just do my own thing seriously. Lady Lana may have recognized my seriousness, so she pointed me out a few times before. I am very grateful to her."

Nina Witch had a smile in her eyes. "Lana said that you are a wizard who makes people feel comfortable. This is indeed true. Recently, you have had some unpleasant troubles with some wizards in our Rose Council. I have heard a lot of prejudices and rumors."

Witch Nina smiled and said: "Now it seems that hearing is worse than seeing. When I meet you, I think you are a very sincere young man. Wizard. Those ugly words should not be taken seriously. "

Witch Nina asked Locke: "Will the grafting of this energy-locking structure affect the metabolic pathways of the natural magic structure components of the original magic plant?"

Locke was stunned for a moment, and proactively admitted: "Ms. Nina, there is indeed insufficient research in this area."

"Time is limited, and cost must also be considered. There is not much data in this area yet. But overall, there is no negative impact on the traits of the big snow-topped pineapples currently transplanted."

 Nina Witch nodded.

She was just asking a casual question.

The degree of completion of this research is quite good, at least through the first-class project fund of Zhenzhiyuan.

As for the higher-level project fund she just said, the data needs to be so detailed.

Witch Nina nodded, her eyes full of appreciation. "Okay, I'm done asking."

Witch Nina suddenly spoke and said something completely unrelated to the previous topic. "By the way, do you have a World Stone on you? If not, I feel a bit pity."

 Locke glanced at Witch Nina in surprise.

 This sentence has nothing to do with the final answer, but she suddenly said a sentence without any foreshadowing, and Witch Nina had no intention of continuing.

 At this moment, Locke was thinking a lot, and he was constantly deducing the meaning of the other party's words in his mind.

   Nina Witch is definitely reminding me. , Locke was alert. She is a Sun Circle Wizard, and her status among the Second Circle Wizards is very high. Since she said this, I am afraid she is hinting to me that it is best to have a world stone as soon as possible in the near future. , I don’t know what it means, but the world the Sun Ring Wizard sees should be different from mine. , just like the world I see as a first-level wizard, it is completely different from the small world seen by a wizard apprentice. , there must be a reason for her to speak like this. Most of the wizard shop alliances I offended had a background in the Parliament of Roses. Even if he does not have a background of the Rose Council, he still has a background of the Wizarding Academy organization in the Rose Council region. , Wizard Hao coughed, attracting Locke's attention, and he half-smiled. "Little Locke, no one can control the future. But you are indeed very popular."

"Okay, I want to ask you some questions. How can you prove that this is an active "energy-locking structure" and not an accumulation of metabolic waste from a magic plant?"

Wizard Hao pointed out the key to the problem.

  He is worthy of being a high-level wizard. In a word, he has a commanding position and asks the key questions like a cook trying to solve an ox.

 Fortunately, Locke made preparations in this regard in advance.

 Locke said: "I did a specific energy labeling experiment on the Big Snow Top Bromeliad grafted with glandular root capsules, and marked four key natural magic structural components."

 "I confirmed that after the Big Snow Top Pineapple was under stress, its energy was actively mobilized, and the key natural magic structural components showed specific changes."

"The order of magnitude of the four natural magic structures increases from increasing to decreasing, reflecting the release and transformation process of energy."

 h "This is a chart." Locke took the initiative to show the chart he made on the illusion magic.

 Locke figured it out. Now that Witch Nina reminded him, he had better find a way to get a World Stone as a guarantee as soon as possible.

  It is impossible to buy a world stone that no one has used at all with money.

 Or the money needed is an astronomical figure.

 But I might be able to spend money to buy an ordinary World Stone first.

 Although it is said that the World Stone needs to conquer the plane before it can be obtained. But if you spend a huge amount of money in Yunze Wetland, you can still buy a World Stone.

 It's just that this kind of thing is in short supply. There will never be a shortage of people who want it, and there will never be any spare time.

 Because even if a wizard doesn't use it, he can still save it for later use.

 This is hard currency in an absolute sense.

 But the academy does have some rewards, and there are some special channels for purchasing world stones.

   No matter what, since Witch Nina said such a sentence without any end, it is best for him to listen to the advice and get a World Stone to protect himself first.

  Anyway, when you build a huge magic, you can decide which world stone to use based on the situation.

  Haw wizard nodded with satisfaction. "It's quite rigorous. The second question is, is this structure common in other plants?"

"Or is it common in plants in a certain world?"

 Locke hesitated and said: "I checked the literature, and no other wizards have found anything related to this. From my point of view, the structure of glandular root capsule cannot be universal." Paying energy. "

  "A typical [energy asymmetry balance state] appears here."

  "Among magic plants, relatively niche plant organs will be in a common state. That is, the energy consumed in order to evolve and maintain this plant organ may exceed or be equal to the energy increase or effect caused by this plant organ."

"So, I think that this energy-locking structure is not likely to appear widely in all major worlds. Instead, it will appear in certain specific environments. "

"Considering that agave ketones and agave acid do more harm than good, I think this environment will be relatively niche."

 Locke said: "But in the future, I will look for this kind of environment."

 "I think there should be a small amount of such environments in some of the rarer planes of the endless void, and there may be similar energy-locking structures in those environments. "

 This matter itself is also closely related to the expulsion curse.

 I am just unable to get away for the time being and cannot study it in depth again.

 As long as the conditions are right, I can dig deeper.

 How did the Age of Stars end?

  What is the mortal age used to cover up?

  Why is there a problem with the Tower of the Black Sun, and why does the princess think it cannot be trusted.

  Do those immortal rulers still exist and will they come back again?

  I am also very curious about these.

  Wizard Hao commented with a smile. "The crisis-reproduction trade-off theory is the classic theory of our Lord Wizard of the Throne of Quinjor, Galen Armstrong."

“The energy distribution of magic plants does not follow the maximum energy utilization efficiency, but makes a trade-off between survival and reproduction. “In order to increase survival efficiency, improve the survival rate in extreme environments, and facilitate the transfer of plant essence in the long term, some magic plants will evolve in high-risk environments. Energy-locking structures that consume more energy than they obtain.”
 "The crisis-reproduction trade-off theory is to explain why magic plants have specifically evolved aggressive energy-locking structures that consume more energy. When he proposed this theory, he was still a young man. Alas, in a blink of an eye, we are all old men."

 Locke saluted the wizard Hao. "Yes, Lord Hao, this is the theory put forward by Lord Galen Armstrong"'

  C

   "I've made a fool of myself."

Wizard Hao smiled and said: "No way. Seeing you young people being so energetic makes me feel happy and reminds me of the past."

Wizard Hao asked: "You said before that this energy-locking structure can be applied in some specific fields. Then you have an idea. "

 Locke said: "Yes. Therefore, I designed my fifth wizard shoe and will give it to Alsace."

 Locke's grudges with Thoras's bare feet and Meloqui's magic steps are a bit unclear.

  After all, wizard shoes are only a major category of sports products, but not a major category of magic weapons.

  For a high-level three-ring wizard like Hao Wizard, who usually has many things to do and is very busy, it is naturally impossible to notice the high level of filthiness of the two top wizard shoe stores in Locke.

 Furthermore, even many magic weavers are not very clear about it.

 After all, Locke’s level of competition for wizard shoes is currently relatively low, and he is only a threat.

 Hau, after hearing the explanation from the wizard next to him and understanding, he immediately smiled and said: "You are indeed very similar to Catherine Throne. When Lord Throne was a first-level wizard, he also attacked the wand industry. At that time, he fought very enthusiastically. "

"I didn't expect that, her students are now also fighting with the shop alliance of the wizard shoe industry. You two really look alike."

  "Why, Locke, you look strange. Your teacher is very rich, and many shops in Dragon Blood Market are her property."

“I remember the more famous Yukangxue store, Taoyuan, was opened by her.”

 Loke’s eyes widened and he was confused.

 Because I really don’t know this.

I have come and gone to the Golden Peach Garden so many times. Good guy, no one has ever told me that it is my teacher’s property!

 No, wait.

 Locke remembered that he had bumped into the three generations of the Dragon Blood Society in the Golden Peach Garden.

 Now, I am afraid that it is because the Golden Peach Garden itself is a place where the three generations often gather.

  Because it is the industry of the academic committee.

Locke then realized that the water in Jinmian Mountain was deeper than what he had lifted. With just one sentence, Locke revealed something that he had not seen clearly before.

 Stand high to see far.

 However, he is about to become a second-level wizard.

 Only when you become a second-level wizard can you gain a firm foothold in the wizarding world and have your own preliminary place.

 Wizard Hao said with a joking smile: "How come she never told you that the golden peach orchard is her property?"

 Locke smiled bitterly and nodded. "Yes, Lord Hao."

The wizard Hao laughed. "Actually, it doesn't make sense to say it, because you won't be given a discount. The stocks behind many industries are complicated. After many changes, even the wizard who runs the store may not know that his real boss is Yan." "The few resources that the White Wizard Association throws down from above are too much. If you rely entirely on funds to do research, I'm afraid it will be too difficult. So she won't give you any discount."

 Hence "When my students go to my store to buy things, it will even become more expensive. Because it is difficult to bargain. So sometimes, not knowing is much better than knowing."

 Loke is silent.

 So, Witch Ekaterina had made the same choice as herself in the past, making money by forming a shop alliance to feed back her own research progress.

 Wizard Hao asked curiously: "But, where did you discover this special energy-locking structure?"

 Wizard Hao knew that the biggest reason why Locke was able to discover this high-energy locking structure was because he found plants with this high-energy locking structure, not other factors.

  Others can be found by throwing money and people.

 But it was very difficult to find this plant at first.

 Locke Yi hesitated for a moment and hid all the important points. He only said that he went to an abyss ruins and found an ancient plant called konjac.

 The wizard Hao looked thoughtful. "That's fine. The interdisciplinary advantage looks really good. Should I recruit an archaeologist in my research group next quarter?" I'm afraid that I can't recruit second-level archaeologists, at most I can only recruit one-level archaeologists."

 Haw wizard heard that Locke actually dug it out from the ruins, and his mind suddenly became active, and he felt that this was indeed a strange direction.

  He also asked some people to dig in various ruins to see if they could dig out any valuable magic plants.

Wizard Hao said: "Locke, you are lucky. In other words, you have ideas, abilities, flexible thinking, and good luck. You have discovered this special energy-locking structure. Then I wish your next wizard shoes can sell better."
  "There is no problem on my side. You can pass the defense this time. It's just that it's really interesting to listen to your defense. I really hope to see you here next time."

  Locke has finished his first class.

  If you want to defend here again next time, there is only one way - special grade in the final exam.

  BiJing's single key sub-project is a project in the hands of the co-supervisor. The co-supervisor is fully responsible and does not need to be defended here.

Therefore, Locke still wants to follow your wizard's approach and meet here again. The only way is to apply for the special project fund.

Locke nodded and said: "Lord Hao, I also hope that I can meet you again here. I will try my best."

Wizard Hao said with a smile: "I still have to say that sentence again. I am still optimistic about you, you will become a second-level wizard."

Wizard Hao had no objection, and the other two wizards naturally had no objection.

 The final defense of the first-class fund project is completed!
