Chapter 417 The Magic Circle is Permanent! Can the World Tree Connect to the Internet?

Lin Mo smiled.

"Elder, the energy crystals absorbed by the World Tree are actually energy in essence."

"There are many types of energy, not just energy crystals and some minerals from Terra."

He pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

"In the Great Xia region, there is nuclear fission technology, which can provide a large amount of energy."

Elder Muyu was puzzled.

"Nuclear fission technology?"

This vocabulary was completely beyond his knowledge.

Lin Mo scratched his head, unsure how to explain himself, given his poor academic performance.

Just then, Academician Liu Chengen walked over, and he immediately looked at him with pleading eyes.

Liu Chengen greeted Elder Muyu with a smile.

He pushed up his old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses.

Nuclear fission technology is a physical process that uses heavy atomic nuclei to split into two or more lighter atomic nuclei under the bombardment of neutrons, releasing a large amount of energy and secondary neutrons, thereby maintaining a chain reaction...

Elder Muyu: "???"

A whole bunch of random chatter.

I can't understand it at all.

He only felt a buzzing in his ears. He recognized each word, but when put together, it became a cryptic mess.

Kyle, standing to the side, listened with a furrowed brow.

Thorin stared wide-eyed, his mouth slightly agape, trying to grasp at one or two words he could understand.

The orcs were completely bewildered.

Seeing Elder Muyu's expression, Liu Chengen knew that the other party did not understand.

He paused, then changed to a more direct approach.

"Simply put, we use cutting-edge technology to break down a special mineral, which produces a chemical reaction that releases enormous energy."

"Like...like the sun, but in a tiny jar."

He made the famous gesture, trying to make this abstract concept concrete.

The sun itself is constantly undergoing nuclear fusion reactions, producing light and heat.

Plants grow by absorbing sunlight and performing photosynthesis.

Therefore, it is not surprising that nuclear fission can feed the World Tree.

The World Tree simply requires an energy level far exceeding that of ordinary plants.

Nuclear fission is something that ordinary plants cannot withstand, but the World Tree can.

That makes perfect sense!

People from all ethnic groups were shocked.

This isn't magic!

Put the sun into a jar, let it emit light and heat to provide energy, and turn it into an alternative version of an energy crystal for the World Tree to absorb?

What kind of dark magic is this!

Elder Muyu was even more shocked. Was this still the World Tree he knew?

Fortunately, he was old enough to suppress his shock.

He understood the reasoning.

It turned out to be the case.

The Great Xia region possesses a special type of "energy crystal" that is not found on the Terra continent, which perfectly meets the growth requirements of the World Tree.

A pang of regret flashed through his mind.

Originally, I thought that after selling the World Tree seeds, Great Xia would definitely frantically purchase energy crystals from the Elf race to cultivate the World Tree.

This long-term business deal is enough for the Elven race to purchase weapons and equipment from the Great Xia in large quantities.

It should be noted that the maintenance costs of weapons and equipment in the Great Xia Dynasty are not low, not to mention the various types of ammunition that need to be replenished.

Those are things that you fire once and then you're done; some ammunition is even more expensive than energy crystals.

Not to mention artillery shells and missiles.

It now appears that the plan has completely failed.

Liu Chengen's gaze fell on the young face of the World Tree.

"Elder Muyu, how long can this activation magic last?"

Elder Muyu withdrew his thoughts and raised his hand to calculate for a moment.

"The magic will dissipate naturally in an hour."

Liu Chengen frowned.

"Then... is it possible to make this magic permanent?"

"Permanent?"

Elder Muyu paused, gently stroking his beard as he pondered, then said:

"Yes, but you'll need to use a magic circle to replenish the energy crystals regularly."

Liu Chengen immediately made the decision.

"That's good, the price is negotiable!"

Elder Muyu waved his hand, his smile gentle.

"No need. I've been fortunate to receive the care and support of the Great Xia during this time. It would be outrageous to talk about money for such a small magic circle."

After saying that, he flipped his wrist.

A beautifully carved magic wand appeared in his palm, clearly bearing a spatial ring.

With his other hand, he grabbed several pieces of magical materials that shimmered faintly.

Elder Muyu crouched down at the base of the World Tree, lightly tapping the ground with his magic wand, and began to draw an array.

The ground is outlined with intricate patterns, each stroke precise and accurate.

The magic circle gradually took shape, with countless intricate runes nested within the six-pointed star pattern, emanating a faint natural aura.

The researchers around held their breath, afraid of disturbing the elven elder.

Someone raised a camera and recorded every detail.

Ten minutes later.

Elder Muyu gently placed a light blue energy crystal into the center of the magic circle.

hum-

The magic circle flashed, emitting a faint glow, and the entire array began to slowly operate.

Elder Mu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and clapped his hands.

"It's all better now."

Lin Mo and Liu Chengen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with excitement.

"Elder Muyu, how should this magic circle be maintained?"

"How do we keep it running?"

Elder Muyu pointed to the array on the ground.

"Don't touch the magic circle. Just fill the center of the circle with an energy crystal."

He paused, then added:

"One energy crystal can last for about a day. You can keep a few extra in reserve and refill them as needed."

Lin Mo was overjoyed.

Only one is used per day?

He started calculating quickly in his mind.

Based on the exchange rate between Great Xia and Terra, one thousand US dollars is equivalent to three gold coins, and ten gold coins are equal to one energy crystal.

Purchasing energy crystals from the elves only requires eight gold coins.

After calculating the exchange rate difference between the US dollar and the Daxia currency, it's actually only about ten thousand Daxia currency.

In return, the World Tree can communicate with the Great Xia and grow in the way the Great Xia desires!

This is such a great deal!

Lin Mo subconsciously wanted Elder Mu Yu to activate the magic arrays on the other two World Trees in the dungeons as well.

But as soon as the thought arose, he suppressed it.

First, the distance is too far, and there is a risk of exposing the current state of Earth.

He pondered for a moment and looked at the World Tree.

"Hello, can you sense the other two World Trees on Earth?"

The World Tree's features twitched, and the texture of its bark rippled slightly.

A mental fluctuation was transmitted.

"I can sense one, but the other one must be too far away to sense."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up.

"Is it possible to establish a connection with the World Tree we perceive and make it grow in the way we describe?"

World Tree's answer:

"Yes, I can talk to it."

Lin Mo was overjoyed.

Sure enough!

But then he frowned.

The other party can only sense one World Tree. What about the one located in the underground city of Antarctica?

That's a shame!

Undeterred, he continued to ask:

"On the other side of Earth, there's a World Tree. Can't you sense it?"

The World Tree remained silent for a moment.

"If needed, you can show me the way."

"I will let my roots grow that way, and you will let the World Tree grow towards me."

"Once we get close enough, we can establish contact."
