On the current Sines Continent, the understanding of magic was no longer as simple as using magic to condense elemental magic to form magic.
Under the guidance of Xu Yi's scientific view of magic, the mages in Sines were able to delve deeper into the essence of magic and become more detailed.
The most obvious example was that the requirements for any spell would be supported by countless precise data and statistics. It was far from the vague and superficial descriptions such as "feeling", "sensing", and "making oneself feel that it is the most suitable for you" in the past.
Take the simplest Fireball spell as an example. The description of the Fireball spell would be divided into the amount of magical elements needed, the way they were formed, the speed of condensation, the deviation caused by the waves, the temperature, size, and shape of the flames after the formation of the Fireball, and so on and so forth.
Moreover, the data would be adjusted according to the situation of different mages. It was far more troublesome than learning the Fireball spell in the past.
However, the advantage was that as long as one mastered this method, it was equivalent to completely mastering the Fireball spell. One would even have a deep understanding of fire magic, and learning other spells would be a piece of cake.
Of course, the current magicians of the Sines Continent wouldn't learn the "Fireball Spell", the "Water Arrow Spell", the "Falling Stone Spell", or other traditional elemental magic like before because it had no meaning to the development of the magic machine industry.
What everyone needed to learn was much more profound than this.
Just like right now, if it was like before, if Xu Yi wanted to use magic to investigate, he would just release his magic to affect the magic elemental energy in the surrounding space. Using this to test the reaction, he would only receive the feedback related to magic.
However, now that Xu Yi had decided to use magic to detect something, he first had Akali take out a machine and place a few probes on the pillar. Only then did he place his hand on the pillar and start to release his mana slowly and accurately.
In fact, this task could be done with just this machine alone.
However, because he did not understand the pillar in front of him, and because it could be a relic of the abyss demons, Xu Yi did not trust the machine and decided to do the detection himself.
As a powerful archmage, his control over magical elements might not be as strong or as precise as a machine's, but he was far more flexible than a machine. Once he discovered a problem, he would be able to react immediately.
Xu Yi's magic — strictly speaking, it was just brainwaves released by his mental power — began to influence the surrounding magical elements to gather into the pillar.
After the Mana reached a certain amount, Xu Yi paused and began to continuously change the frequency of the Mana vibrations, thus affecting the vibration frequency of the Mana elements.
According to the results of the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's research eight years ago, changing the frequency of magic vibrations could affect the frequency of magic elemental vibrations. Different vibrations of magic elemental vibrations would create different energy waves and even different forms of energy.
Going deeper, it had to do with the latest magic core energy theory.
However, there was no need to delve too deeply into the current situation. What Xu Yi needed to use was another characteristic of this theory.
In his research, Xu Yi discovered that the energy forms of magical elements with different vibration frequencies could simulate almost all the energy forms he currently knew.
For example, the most commonly used electricity on Earth was actually reflected in the upgrade of traditional wind magic — lightning magic.
The only problem was that when magicians used Lightning Magic in the past, they didn't care about voltage or current at all. But after Xu Yi discovered this, he requested the Frestech Chamber of Commerce's magic research facility to do even more research on it. Because of this, they realized that they could use magic to create a controllable direct current effect on earth.
He even used this current to successfully light up a tungsten wire.
Of course, compared to the more convenient and simple magic lamps, electric lamps were much more efficient and costly. However, Xu Yi would not give up what was close at hand for what was far away.
However, through this research, Xu Yi's understanding of magic had deepened.
He firmly believed that as long as he continued to conduct in-depth research, magic, which sounded backward, could in fact become an advanced system that surpassed modern technology on Earth.
Now, the topic was back to Xu Yi's evaluation.
According to his previous research, he could now rely on his super precise control of magical elements to simulate countless energy forms.
His idea was to use various energy forms to stimulate this pillar and see if there was any possibility of it reacting.
At first, the pillar did not have any reaction at all. It was like an ordinary stone, and no matter how much Xu Yi tossed it around, it did not move an inch.
However, when Xu Yi increased the amount of magical elements condensed for the third time and simulated them into electricity again, the surface of the pillar suddenly flashed with a faint light.
Akali, Elder Undine, and the rest who were bored from waiting at the side suddenly exclaimed in surprise and widened their eyes in unison.
Akali glanced at the data displayed on the machine, and loudly said, "Total amount of magical elements 3.723 Ai, frequency 25.391 Hz, curved angle 193.37 degrees, projectile wave band …"
A lot of data was reported that confused the rest, but Xu Yi quickly grasped the meaning behind it. He immediately readjusted the magic and simulated the form of magical elements energy just now.
As expected, the surface of the pillar lit up again with a faint light.
However, this light was too weak. If not for the fact that everyone had been staring at the pillar, they might have missed it.
Akali frowned and thought for a while, then said to Xu Yi, "Mr. President, try increasing the intensity?"
"Okay." Xu Yi nodded and condensed more magical elements into the pillar.
As he condensed more magical elements, the light became brighter and brighter.
When the light became slightly dazzling, Xu Yi stopped.
However, when everyone looked at the pillar, they found that other than the light, there were no other changes.
"Mr. President, try increasing the voltage of the simulated electricity again?" Akali suggested.
Xu Yi muttered to himself.
If this pillar was actually hiding a precision instrument that required electricity, then if he rashly increased the voltage, it was very likely that the internal structure would be damaged.
After thinking for a while, he decided to change the method.
Xu Yi did not continue to increase the voltage of the simulated electricity. Instead, he dispersed some of the magical elements and lowered the energy level. Then, he carefully controlled the magical elements to form very weak electric arcs and probed them into the pillar.
Xu Yi then controlled the electric arcs to go everywhere in the pillar.
According to the changes in resistance when the electric arcs flowed in the pillar, Xu Yi quickly figured out the situation in the pillar.
The interior of the pillar was definitely made of metal with excellent conductivity, and it was very complicated. It was obvious that he guessed that there was a precision instrument inside.
However, after figuring this out, he did not dare to investigate further.
The level of technology of the Abyss Demons should be quite high, so the precision of the instrument they left behind was obviously very high. If he accidentally broke it, then the loss would outweigh the gain.
After pondering for a while, he asked Elder Undine, "Elder Undine, I heard from Stiel that the Azshara Tribe also has a special clairvoyance magic?"
Elder Undine glanced at the others around and nodded slightly, "Yes.
Why?
Can we use it now? "
"We can't use it now, but it should be possible if we modify it."
Xu Yi then turned to Santander and said, "In a while, you and your men will return to Sines as fast as possible and find Stiel.
Tell her that I need her to send the New Moon Chamber of Commerce's Magic Clairvoyance Projector research team over. "
Everyone looked at Xu Yi with a strange expression.
Akali couldn't help asking, "Sir President, you can't be thinking of using that Magic Clairvoyance Projector to see the situation inside the pillar, right?
I don't think it's possible, right?
If it was possible, Elder Undine would definitely use it. "
Elder Undine nodded and admitted, "Yes, I just tested it with clairvoyance magic and couldn't see anything."
"And now?" Xu Yi slapped the pillar again. Magic came out and the pillar emitted light again.
Elder Undine looked over, and a trace of surprise appeared on her face.
"It seems … … I can see something … …"
Akali asked in surprise, "Why is it like this?"
"It's very simple.
I heard from Stiel that clairvoyance magic can only be used on living things, it's useless on dead things.
So my guess is that clairvoyance magic isn't actually clairvoyance magic, but rather it reacts according to some special flow inside the object, creating an effect similar to clairvoyance. "
Elder Undine looked at Xu Yi in surprise, a trace of admiration in her voice.
"Chairman Xu, you really are a super genius in magic.
That's right, the principle of clairvoyance magic is roughly the same as what you said. "
"It's just a very simple conjecture."
Xu Yi waved his hand and took it back. He looked at the pillar again and sighed, "Now that we don't have enough conditions, we can only give up for now.
When Santander comes back with reinforcements, we'll check it out again. "
Akali was a bit disappointed, "Then wouldn't we have wasted our time these past few days?"
Xu Yi shrugged, "Being impatient in research won't solve the problem."
Since Xu Yi had made his decision, everyone wouldn't waste their time here.
After marking this place on the map, everyone left the island in the Magic Airship.
After around an hour, the Magic Airship brought everyone back to the Space Island. Then Santander followed Xu Yi's orders and immediately stood up to Sines.
With the speed of the Magic Airship, it would take a day and a half to travel six thousand kilometers.
Then counting the time it took for Santander to contact Stiel and make arrangements with Stiel, it would take at least a week for him to go back on his word.
"Of course, we can't be idle for a week, we have to keep searching.
The ruins left behind by the Abyss Demon Race definitely isn't just one place. "
After Xu Yi made the arrangements for the next few days, his eyes fell onto the excited Akali.
"Don't be happy, this matter isn't related to you. Your main job right now is to build the road signs."
Akali was stunned.
