Chapter 617: Chapter 525: Foreign Exploration Team_2
Lynn shook his head, detecting a hint of self-destructive desire in the young girl’s words.
Rafael, who had innocently attracted disaster, suddenly had his face darken. His previous claim of having no attachnts was rely a joke; he considered himself to be a very important person, and in the event of his death, not to ntion anything else, his friends and apprentices would surely weep bitterly.
However, despite his discontent, Rafael nevertheless reluctantly added, “Her strength and speed are quite good, exactly what this exploration team lacks. She might be able to handle so ergencies.”
Even though Ivina held a recomndation letter from Lynn, she had also gone through selection and ability assessnt.
During the combat power test, Ivina ‘took down’ three joint official Wizards all by herself. Such combat prowess was outstanding even among the rank-three Shaping Wizards skilled in close combat.
They did need soone specializing in physical strength, so that in case they encountered interferences with casting spells during the exploration, they would not be completely helpless.
Seeing Rafael speak in such a manner, Lynn refrained from comnting further. Since this was Ivina’s choice, he felt it inappropriate to interfere, and instead turned his attention to the Space-Ti Gate that was continually surging, and asked,
“Have you tested it yet? Does its expansion have an upper limit, what materials can it accommodate for entry and exit, and where does the energy sustaining it co from?”
Lynn’s questions were undoubtedly nurous and critical.
In these past few days, Vittorio naturally hadn’t wasted any ti and had already conducted preliminary experints. The first was the expansion issue of the Space-Ti Gate. He predicted that it likely had no upper limit, or if it did, it was extrely large, but the magic power consumption increased accordingly.
Vittorio had once expanded the diater of the Space-Ti Gate to over fifty ters and still hadn’t reached its limit. He then worried that further expansion might cause so adverse effects, such as causing the gate to be detected by the other side, so he didn’t continue the attempt.
“Besides that, we have also tested for the difference in the flow of ti between the two worlds.” Vittorio glanced at Sean, who looked sowhat dispirited. “This is largely thanks to Lord Sean’s research on quartz clocks!”
In Lynn’s presence, Sean didn’t dare to accept the title of developer, and said with a wry smile, “Research is an overstatent, the principle of the quartz clock had already been clearly explained by Chairman Lynn.”
“You rely provided a design concept, but the quartz clock was ultimately made by your hand, and you completed it in just six days. That’s quite impressive!” Lynn consoled Sean a few words, affirming his efforts, and then continued to inquire if Vittorio had already sent soone through the Space-Ti Gate and how the difference in ti flow was calculated.
“No, we haven’t sent anyone through yet, we just used so cunning thods,” Vittorio said with a smile as he explained.
Since the Space-Ti Gate allowed people to travel back and forth, then objects should be able to as well. So, they tried tying an object with a rope and throwing it to the other side of the gate, then attempted to pull it back to see if it was possible.
The result was undoubtedly…
A failure!
The rope that was pulled back was broken, and after several experints, they concluded that every object entering the Space-Ti Gate needed to withstand a tearing force, as if being sucked into a whirlpool in the ocean.
So, Vittorio had soone replace the rope with a sturdier steel cable and tied a heavy object to the other end, hurling it through at high speed and quickly retracting it.
This ti the experint proceeded without accident, and it was very successful. Then, they placed a quartz clock on the heavy object, left it on the other side of the Space-Ti Gate for a while, and after bringing it back, they used the ti difference between the two quartz clocks to easily calculate the rate of ti flow.
Lynn nodded, finding it to be a decent thod. However, as his avatar had been instantly wiped out upon entering the Space-Ti Gate previously, he had overestimated its dangers.
“Based on our calculations, the difference in ti flow between the two worlds is about 7.25 tis. However, this difference is slowly decreasing. According to the current rate, the flow of ti between the two will be completely unified in about 450 years…” Vittorio continued to explain.
Due to the extrely subtle nature of the decline in this discrepancy, they had to conduct hundreds of experints, taking a whole day’s worth of ti, and with the aid of a quartz clock accurate to one hundred thousandth of a second, they compiled the values from hundreds of tests and listed equations to calculate a corresponding value, barely managing to deduce it.
For more precise confirmation, they had to wait for Rafael and the others to return. If the figures perfectly matched the ones calculated from his equations on the decay of ti flow rate, then they could confirm
“Four hundred and fifty years? It seems we have plenty of ti,” Rafael raised his eyebrows. The sevenfold difference in the flow of ti was undeniably terrifying, aning that seven years for them would be just one year in the other world.
However, Vittorio dampened his enthusiasm with a sobering comnt, “That’s only at the current rate. I suspect that the more intense the surge of magic power is, the quicker the discrepancy in the flow of ti will decrease.”
In other words, if the enemy took control of the Space-Ti Gate and expanded it to increase the speed of the influx of magic power into this continent, then the difference in the flow of ti between the two worlds would further diminish, and their advantage in ti would no longer be as pronounced.
“In any case, your mission this ti is extrely challenging. You need to gather as much information as possible from the other world. It would be best to confirm whether the information stated by the Star ssenger is correct. Also, do your best to avoid contact with the enemy…”
Vittorio spoke seriously, then handed Rafael a fist-sized, bizarre sphere. “I think you have seen this before and are aware of its power, right?”
Rafael certainly recognized what it was. Back in Fire Oil City, Lynn had used sothing similar to execute the “Sky Vaulting” spell, thoroughly cleansing the radiating Land of Death. Even the re aftereffects nearly flattened Fire Oil City.
Facing such a formidable weapon, Rafael’s wrist trembled slightly as he took it, fearful of accidentally activating it.
Vittorio explained how to use it and reminded him, “Do not use it unless absolutely necessary.”
Rafael rolled his eyes; with the terrifying damage radius of “Sky Vaulting”, it seed this device could only be used in a situation where mutual destruction was inevitable.
The primary tactic was to go out with a bang!
“By the way, take this ring with you as well,” Lynn said, producing a special enchanted ring.
“Does it serve so purpose?” Rafael inquired curiously.
“It’s just an experint, might not be useful at all,” Lynn casually replied, with no intention of elaborating.
Hearing Lynn being so secretive, Vittorio also gave the ring a few glances, then noticed its dark golden color and texture, which felt incredibly familiar to him.
“Is this made from the sa tal used for the Corona dal?” Vittorio asked in surprise.
“Yes, I lted a Corona dal and used part of the material to make this ring!” Lynn confird with a nod.
You lted the Corona dal? As these words were spoken, the wizards present all widened their eyes in shock, and Rafael’s wrist, holding the ring, also quivered.
The Corona dal represented the highest honor in the magic community, and here was the Magic Star, willing to lt down such a precious artifact—it was an absolute waste!
Lynn, however, didn’t seem too bothered by it. He had asked Harrov about this peculiar tal, which ca from beyond the Space-Ti Gate. They had only acquired twelve kilograms in total. Due to its rarity and strong energy-carrying properties, it had been divided to create twelve Corona dals.
Now, the council only had two pieces left in stock, which were to be awarded to others. Having so excess material, Lynn simply decided to lt a piece for research and experintation, and this ring was one of the outcos.
