Volume 2 Chapter 119 - Small Wind Generator (1/2)

Since getting in the horse carriage on the way back, Great Magician Camilla had a strange smile as he looked at Xu Yi the entire time.

Xu Yi felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and couldn’t help saying, “Your excellency Great Magician, what are you smiling at? Didn’t you accept what I used to pass the test? You can’t say that I’m cheating now, can you?”

“If I felt that you were cheating, I would have exposed you earlier.” Great Magician Camilla shook his head and said, “I just feel that I still can’t understand this thing even now. You were clearly using a simple Wind Spell, but through a small magic machine, you could trigger Lightning Elemental Energy and release a Lightning Spell? What is even stranger is that the might of this spell is this strong and even exceeds the limit of the magic that you can control.”

“So I didn’t control it at all.” Xu Yi spread his hands and said, “If there wasn’t the magic barrier at the exam site, the lightning would have spread in all directions and perhaps someone might have been injured.”

“Injured?” Great Magician Camilla broke out in laughter, “Although the might of your spell was indeed big, since it wasn’t consciously controlled, the power was scattered and didn’t have any destructive might at all. It might not even be at the level of a Sixth Grade Magician, so who would you have injured?”

“Then what if I were able to control it?” Xu Yi couldn’t help asking.

Great Magician Camilla seriously considered it and his expression became serious.

“If you could control it…..even I would have to seriously deal with it.”

After pausing, Great Magician Camilla stretched his hand out to Xu Yi, “Let me see that whatever generator again, I want to properly research it.”

Xu Yi pulled up his sleeve and revealed the densely wrapped self made little generators around his arm. He took one off and gave it to Great Magician Camilla.

This little generator was the sudden idea he had that night on how to solve the street lamp problem.

On earth, electricity was an important part of the industrial system.

Xu Yi thought that he could use magic and Magic Arrays to create magic machines that would replace the machines from earth, so he had maintained this same thought process when it came to the street lamps.

Then when he found how difficult it was to solve the street lamp problem, there was a thought that suddenly appeared in his mind.

The electricity on earth could be transformed into different forms of energy, so based on this, magic power could also be transformed into electricity.

He didn’t first think about Lightning Spells, but rather he thought of a generator.

The generator could be invented because the enclosed coils could turn inside this magnetic field which created an electrical current, converting kinetic energy into electric energy.

On earth, the main types of energy that powered this system was heat, water, wind, as well as nuclear power.

The first thing that Xu Yi thought of was wind energy.

Do using the general structure of a wind turbine, Xu Yi had created a small wind generator after several days of research.

When Hannas had brought Kennard, Sophia, and Hank Wilson to Banta City to see him, he was already researching this thing.

As for how to provide wind energy, Xu Yi could only think of using a Wind Magic Array for now. He used the wind energy generated by the Magic Array to drive the magnetic coils.

The initial experiment was considered a success. Xu Yi had successfully used the Wind Magic Array to turn the coil and this small Wind Generator had actually created an electric current.

But Xu Yi’s research was stuck at this point for now. As for how to control this current, how to store it, and how to make it stronger, he still didn’t have a clue on how to progress.

He didn’t think that this was something urgent and had planned on slowly studying it, but after Great Magician Camilla told him that he had to demonstrate high grade magic to pass the high grade magician exam, he could only helplessly think of this method.

Although he really didn’t know any high grade magic, as a magician whose magic power had reached the Seventh Grade, he had some understanding of high grade magic.

And for him, he did excel in Wind Magic, so the high grade magic that he paid attention to was naturally Lightning Magic.

When conducting experiments with this small Wind Generator, Xu Yi was surprised to find that the electric current released was similar to the Lightning Elemental Energy used with Lightning Spells.

So he attempted to control these electric currents with the method of controlling Lightning Elemental Energy.

The result was shocking, he could actually use magic to control these electric currents!

This made Xu Yi understand that the so-called Lightning Elemental Energy was just controlling the electric charge in the air!

According to the theory of Lightning Magic, magicians used their magic power to influence the Lightning Elemental Energy. This was basically using magic to affect the space around them and controlling the electric charge in the air, creating Lightning Magic.

There was very strong evidence to Xu Yi’s analysis, which was that on stormy days, Lightning Attributed Magicians would become stronger.
