Building the magic laboratory was more difficult than Roy had imagined.
The first is the huge consumption of materials. Every inch of the ground and wall needs to be constructed with magical materials.
First, pure obsidian was polished into bricks and stones, and then reinforced with solidification technology.
The gaps between bricks and stones need to be filled with crystal powder and poured with mithril to refine them into a unified magic pattern.
This expenditure alone is worth tens of millions of US dollars.
In addition, the space extension, area isolation, sound insulation, energy transmission, etc. of the entire laboratory all require specially refined magic circles to arrange.
After setting up the magic formation, various experimental equipment must be added.
Adding up all the expenses, hundreds of millions of dollars only fill less than one-third of the total.
Even if you spend ten times more money to completely perfect the entire magic laboratory, it may not be completed.
But for Roy at this stage, it is enough.
After taking a quick tour of his magic laboratory.
Roy and Veronica finally came to a huge microscope that was more than four meters high, silver-white in color, and looked like a tree canopy.
Roy glanced at the densely packed magic patterns on the microscope and said, "Is this the STM I had someone send over?"
Veronica glanced at Roy with resentment on her face and said, "Yes, this is the big treasure that was sent to me."
"Just following the blueprints you sent me, replacing the energy supply device, the control system, and the initial refining of the magic materials took me over a month."
"I admit that modern science probably, seems to, and perhaps, has something to commend it."
"But compared to magic, this kind of thing is useless."
STM, also known as scanning tunneling microscope, is a top scientific instrument used by modern science to observe and locate single atoms. It is hailed as one of the world's top ten scientific and technological achievements in the 1980s.
This thing was the spoils Roy got after he busted one of the biggest smugglers in New York two months ago.
It is said that in the smuggling world, this thing is more difficult to obtain than a nuclear bomb.
Roy looked at Veronica, who was full of resentment, and playfully gave her a kiss.
And so comforted Veronica.
Roy just spoke up and said, "Baby sweetheart, do you know what there is a saying in the scientific community?"
"The end of science is metaphysics, or, uh, magic."
"Whether it's science or magic, the study is about the most fundamental principles and laws governing the operation of the world, which is what we often call truth."
"The most essential law is actually hidden in the most basic things."
"This microscope can help us observe the fundamental particles of any matter more clearly."
Veronica rolled her eyes at Roy and said, "Don't bluff me. I've watched a lot of popular science programs in the past few months. The fundamental particles proposed by the scientific community are called quarks."
"And the basic particles in our magic world are elemental particles such as earth, water, wind, and fire. They are completely different concepts."
"No matter how expensive or high-level the scientific instruments are, they cannot detect the wonders of magic."
Veronica, you do have a point.
Science emphasizes materiality, while magic is more complex. It is both material and mysterious, and even very idealistic.
The two cannot be said to be clearly distinguished, but they are definitely unrelated.
Roy patted Veronica's butt and said, "Baby, you're right, but haven't we already magically transformed this microscope?"
Veronica was stunned when she heard this, and then said angrily: "I transformed it, not us."
Roy chuckled and said, "But I also provided the drawings."
Veronica: "…"
This b*****d is not only despicable, but also extremely shameless.
Veronica was about to lose her temper.
Roy consoled her again before continuing, "Okay, baby, don't be angry. This microscope is my trump card for analyzing CPH4. We'll soon have unlimited magic power."
Veronica: "???"
Roy smiled and explained, "As I said before, science and magic are compatible in a sense."
"There is a theory in the scientific community today that the fundamental particles of matter are quarks."
"And the fundamental unit of the universe, even smaller than a quark, is a constantly vibrating string."
"Does this sound familiar? Doesn't this theory resemble the superstring theory of the origin of magic?"
"The Origin of Magic states that all laws in the world are composed of superstring factors, and runes are formed based on the rotation of these strings."
Listening to Roy's words, Veronica's expression gradually solidified and became excited.
Both the partial inheritance provided by Roy and the inheritance of Supreme Merlin contain similar records.
Perhaps in some prehistoric era.
It's possible that magic and science once had some intersection.
A simple scanning tunneling microscope can only magnify matter 300 million times at most and can only see the existence of atoms.
The atom must be magnified another 20,000 times before the existence of the nucleus can be seen.
However, it is unknown how many times the magnification inside the atomic nucleus needs to be in order to see the quarks.
With current science and technology, even if we push it forward another hundred years, we may not be able to make a breakthrough to observe the existence of quarks, let alone observe the existence of strings smaller than quarks.
But it's different with magic.
Through the existence of magic, all the materials of the super microscope are demonized, and magic circles are engraved on its surface with runes and magic patterns.
With more delicate mental power, it is possible to conduct limit-breaking observations, and it may not be impossible to observe the existence of strings.
If the existence of strings can be observed, then the process of analyzing CHP4 will be very simple.
Even if it cannot reach the point of observing strings, the magic version of the super microscope can greatly shorten the time to analyze CPH4.
There is no way you will lose money on this deal of the magic super microscope.
After listening to Roy's explanation.
Veronica also suddenly understood this truth, and the resentment that had been weighing on her for more than a month disappeared in an instant and completely dissipated.
The existence of the magic version of the super microscope is a once-and-for-all treasure for rune analysis and magic research.
"My dear, you are so smart. I was wrong about you."
"It's okay. It's not too late to understand now."
"Mmmmm, honey, I'm going to reward you big time tonight."
"No need."
"Have you been drained by that little devil Emma?"
"How is that possible? I just feel that the research on CPH4 has been delayed for too long..."
"It's worth one night."
"..."
