Chapter 661: Senior Brother, Are You Going to Add X-rays to the Solar Flare?!

Two Archmages moving together created an earth-shattering effect. Strictly speaking, it was even more grand than when the Lord of Thunder traveled—

After all, when the Lord of Thunder traveled, he often casually opened a portal. Step in, step out, and he was there in a quiet moment.

But the two Archmages, not only did they walk from the ground, but they also brought their prized disciples with them. They filled an entire train car, and crowded Garrett’s basement to the brim.

Apart from Garrett and Miss Silver Dragon, everyone else was squeezed into the corners.

Aurora and Mage Norwood dared not make a sound. After all, in terms of status, they were all disciples of the Lord of Thunder; in terms of level, the lowest among the people brought by the two Archmages was level 9, and the highest was even level 13...

Aurora was level 5, and Norwood was level 6, even doubled, they couldn’t catch up to the others.

"Is this the thing you mentioned?" Archmage Philby took the lead, examining the vacuum tube with great interest:

"How is this designed? How do you use it?"

Garrett didn’t speak, smiling as he took a step back, looking around. Only then did Archmage Philby notice the situation around them, her face darkened, scolding her disciples:

"What are you doing? You’ve pushed the host to the corner!—Sorry, is this... Mage Norwood? My students got a bit too excited seeing new academic progress, my apologies."

Although this transmutation mage was a follower of Garrett, she was not from the same sect, so an apology was necessary. As for the other one, he was just a junior disciple, so it was enough to show some intention.

She smiled warmly, and Mage Norwood, unable to show displeasure, slightly bowed to express respect to the Archmage, quickly stepping forward to turn the generator handle.

At the same time, Aurora squeezed out from the other direction, holding two power supply wires. Around them, a group of high-level mages, levels 9, 10, 12, and 13, looked enviously at the two youngsters:

It’s really good to follow the right person. Two level 5 and 6 mages can demonstrate a project for two Archmages. If this project has real value, these two are bound to be second authors of the paper—

Oh, right, the one they follow seems to be just level 6 too...

"One, two, three!"

Aurora and Mage Norwood exchanged a glance, and started together. The cathode filament glowed red, heated up, electric light flashed, high-speed electron beams shot out, and hit the metal plate opposite—

Along with the electric light, the eyes of the two Archmages lit up with joy. Archmage Byerbo took a step forward, exclaiming subconsciously:

"Oh!"

Archmage Philby remained silent. However, this high-level female mage’s long skirt silently rose from the ground, swirling slightly, like a blooming blue flower.

At the edge of the flower, a blazing white light flickered, electric light faintly visible.

"Did you see it?"

Archmage Byerbo’s voice tightened slightly. Beside him, the female Archmage closed her eyes, her voice soft, like a dream:

"I saw it... Electricity, this is what electricity looks like..."

Garrett remained silent. What you saw might be the electron flow, right? The electron flow in the vacuum tube, though different from the charges flowing in wires, wasn’t that easy to sense!

For mages above level 15, their sensing ability, or rather, the attribute of “perception,” was truly fearsome...

He looked again at Archmage Byerbo, guessing if he had sensed the X-rays. Suddenly, Archmage Philby stepped forward. Without hesitation, she grabbed the two wires from Aurora.

Without any apparent focus or preparation, not even a flash of electric light, the filament in the vacuum tube lit up again—

"Ugh!"

"Hmm!"

The two senior brothers and sisters groaned simultaneously. They glanced at each other, speaking in unison:

"I’ll open the meditation environment first!"

"Let me open the meditation environment first!"

Garrett took a step back, then another. The two Archmages evidently felt that perception alone was not enough and needed to unfold their meditation environment, which could interact with reality, to directly feel the changes in the vacuum tube—

The problem was, don’t unfold it at the same time! If both unfolded at the same time and collided, a touch between the two of you might kill us level 6 mages if we get caught in the crossfire!

Luckily, the two Archmages finally reached an agreement. Probably because the wires were in the junior sister’s hands, Archmage Byerbo stepped back and gestured. Archmage Philby smiled slightly, her hair flying, eyes half-closed—

In her hands, the metal plate at the anode of the vacuum tube instantly turned red-hot. Cirella, standing next to Garrett, widened her eyes in surprise:

"It’s lit, it’s lit! There are so many more rays than before!"

Garrett: ...I’m not wearing radiation goggles!

He quickly hid behind Cirella, using the tall figure of the Silver Dragon girl to shield himself from the X-rays. After a long wait, Archmage Philby finished examining, handing the vacuum tube to the other Archmage:

Archmage Byerbo’s actions were wilder, his meditation environment faintly emerging, directly wrapping both himself and the vacuum tube. Everyone else could only stand idly in the room, watching the Archmage holding the vacuum tube for one second, two seconds, one minute, two minutes...

"Pop!"

"Sizzle—"

The first explosion was the vacuum tube breaking; the second explosion was a mass of blazing white electric sparks, almost filling all the space between the Archmage’s hands, lighting up the entire room!

Garrett reflexively ducked, hiding completely behind Cirella.

The first explosion was either due to too high voltage, insufficient electrode gap causing electrode breakdown and tube damage, or high-energy electron beams hitting the anode metal plate, generating high heat and shattering the vacuum glass tube;

The second explosion was caused by air entering the vacuum tube, ionizing and producing a large spark. Such high voltage, if it transmitted to me, would definitely kill me!

"Ah... Little Garrett, sorry, I broke your thing." Archmage Byerbo turned around, apologizing with a dazzling expression:

"How did you make this? I’ll compensate you tenfold! A hundredfold! This radiation is very important to me! Can you allow me to research it together with you? If we add it to the solar flare, my magic power will increase by at least ten percent!"

S-Senior Brother, are you serious? You want to add X-rays to the solar flare?!

If you discover gamma rays, will you add those too?!

Or directly create a gamma ray explosion on the battlefield?!

"And me!"

Archmage Philby stepped forward. Garrett looked at her, then at the muscular Archmage Byerbo, cautiously raising his hand:

"I’ll write down the information and the method to make the vacuum tube for you, you can research it yourselves... Senior Sister, remember to try adding a magnetic field outside the vacuum tube, you might be surprised..."

Handmade X-rays!

Researching X-rays!

Don’t involve me!

I have [Detect Magic], that’s enough for now!

"Senior Brother Byerbo, remember to consult a divination mage, this radiation might be harmful... Oh, you can try putting something else in the vacuum tube and then powering it up, there might be a surprise..."

"Don’t worry! I’ll definitely add your name to the paper!"

"Definitely add your and their names!"

The two Archmages answered generously. Cirella snorted discontentedly:

"And mine!"

You?

Where should we add your name?

Your contribution so far is just observing the radiation with the naked eye, should we count you as an instrument?
