Wizard: Starting With Synthesized Gems
Chapter 438: Installing the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome
A week later, in a special-grade laboratory located at the 20-kilometer position of the White Dragon Tower, Evocation School architects installed a magnificent semi-transparent Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome in the airspace above this special-grade research facility.
Dragon crystals were something possessed only by the dragon clan, not by the true-dragon race.
But even the dragon clan averaged First Circle creatures when adult, and no fewer than five dragon crystals were installed inside this ecological dome. The entire 300-meter-long ecological dome was also made from the expensive First Circle magical material, Time Gold Crystal.
The hemispherical crystal dome surface had complex enchantment rune arrays. Eight chain-like wyvern vertebrae connected to the crystal dome 100 meters off the ground, responsible for anchoring and fixation.
During the day it was white crystal in color, while at night the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome would turn a corresponding black-red hue.
Within the entire special-grade laboratory covered by the ecological dome, the vast space and all climate and ecology would be controlled by the intricate enchantment arrays inside the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome. Even the magical tide concentration gradient could be freely controlled, and directly below the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, the growth speed of First Circle magical plants could be accelerated, shortening magical plant experiments that originally required months down to days.
Everyone in the laboratory watched as the architects installed the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome here, this top-tier breeding equipment at the First Circle level, and each one marveled at this scene.
Witch Barbara looked up at the crystal dome. "I never thought I'd see such a good thing in my lifetime."
Tacitus said, "I also never thought I'd be able to use a Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome in my lifetime."
As the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome worth one million magic stones was installed by the architects, a wave of magical power swept in all directions. The surrounding air trembled as the magical power belonging to dragons enveloped the sky above this special-grade laboratory's thousand-acre ecological garden.
The Chain Magic Vine subspecies in the ecological garden all began growing rapidly under the nourishment of this magical power.
The forty-five wizard apprentices felt the enormous magical pressure fluctuation coming from above, that seemingly earth-shattering magical power nature, and each one fell into shock.
This was the first time they had seen equipment worth up to a million magic stones per set, and also the first time they had seen equipment that made their knees weak just standing in front of it.
However, the magical pressure of the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome was specially adjusted so that wizard apprentices could tolerate it. Otherwise, everyone wouldn't be able to conduct experiments inside.
Montgomery was reading the instruction manual that came with this equipment. This set of equipment was purchased by the Plutarch family from the Root Crown Court in the Thunder Marsh Lowlands. It came with ten thick magic book manuals to introduce in detail every function of the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome and key points to note.
Montgomery was at least a formal wizard, so he read through the most critical points in these ten magic books at the fastest speed. "Dragons possess the bloodline of true dragons, and the true dragon bloodline that dragons possess is very pure, so they also obtained part of the ability of true dragon bloodlines to command all magical elements."
"Therefore, using dragon crystal magical power can control most magic under the ecological dome."
"But consumables are needed every month. The consumables are dragon blood." Montgomery said, "Adding transportation costs, it's estimated to cost one hundred thousand magic stones per month. I think the Four Seasons Garden probably raises several dragons, so they can regularly provide us with dragon blood, but we have to pay them one hundred thousand in consumable fees every month."
"That's ten magic crystal cards."
"Really making money." Montgomery said, "Those who sell equipment, the most profitable thing isn't actually the money from the equipment, but the cost of purchasing consumables."
"At this rate of spending, in just ten months we could buy another Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome."
"Besides that, there are some maintenance points. I've memorized them all. We can maintain it ourselves without needing to invite wizards from Root Crown Court to come for regular annual maintenance."
Locke nodded. "Can't be helped. After all, the Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome is a large-scale breeding equipment that Root Crown Court developed jointly with alchemists and breeders. It enjoys a reputation in various wizard lands. With this equipment, our development speed will be much faster."
Witch Barbara, Wizard Tacitus, and Wizard Montgomery all nodded involuntarily. This time they had truly upgraded from shotguns to cannons.
In fact, they themselves had never used such good breeding equipment. Their research conditions had never been so abundant.
Each of them had their own research plans in mind.
Since they had this Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, naturally they wanted to spend some time using this equipment well.
Locke said, "In addition to this Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, Root Crown Court also provided us with a holographic magical plant sequencing scanner and a super-large radiation furnace."
"Because we purchased their Dragon Crystal Ecological Dome, the sequencing scanner and super-large radiation furnace were given to me at half price, costing only twenty magic crystal cards in total."
Currently he still had 300 magic crystal cards left, but these magic crystal cards weren't currently in his hands. Only after he first purchased some equipment or consumables and proved they were used on this project, then applied for reimbursement, could those magic crystal cards be issued.
After all, this was money for the project, not for him personally.
At this moment, everyone saw the architects transport a radiation furnace as large as a small house to the ecological garden location Locke had designated, then used earth magic to install it, followed by some relatively simple Alchemy School operations to activate the equipment's functions.
The super-large radiation furnace was essential equipment for large-scale breeding studies. It not only allowed dozens of wizard apprentices, breeders, to simultaneously use the magical resonance cultivation method, but also allowed advanced breeders, formal wizards, to use magical suns with greater range, employ the magical resonance cultivation method with greater range, and improve the precision of their magical frequency manipulation.
One of these cost two hundred thousand magic stones. Since breeding studies in the Land of Six Towers had always been in decline, the laboratories here surprisingly didn't have a single such device.
This caused many wizard apprentices in his previous research group to have to rent radiation furnaces and use them sporadically, which was extremely inconvenient.
And now with this super-large radiation furnace, it would undoubtedly provide them with much convenience.
As for that scanner, it was like a magical stone disc as large as a table. Thirty-one crystals of different sizes floated above the stone slab. These crystals connected to each other with magical radiance, constructing a complex array in midair.
On the stone slab was a rotatable mithril disc. On the mithril disc was a hand formed of vines that could assist wizards in placing living magical plant juice on it, then activate the array and begin testing the plant factor arrangement sequence within the magical plant's specific plant essence.
However, this kind of equipment had quite high usage difficulty and required professional breeders to undergo repeated training before mastering it. It had relatively high requirements for individual observation and operation abilities.
Everyone looked at this brand new laboratory, each one full of energy. With so many expensive pieces of equipment invested, everyone felt cheerful.
Locke himself had the Synthesis Cube, so his need for the scanner wasn't very great. This was to facilitate other First Circle wizards in sequencing magical plants and using the finite element cultivation method.
Of course, he definitely had to learn to use this equipment that matched the finite element cultivation method. Otherwise, it would be quite unseemly.
