Cultivation I came to Wizard World Chapter 974
Time flies, and thousands of years have passed.
In Purgatory Sulfur Plane's laboratory, Benjamin looked at the experimental data in front of him and frowned in a rare way.
"Failed again."
As he removed Magic Array, the energy cycle originally running by Stability quickly lost its balance, and the gathered elemental power escaped, leaving a chaotic energy residue on the experimental platform.
This is already the 400th experiment he has conducted recently.
Similar failures have occurred countless times in the past thousand years.
Benjamin saved the experimental data, then called up the progress record of the entire research plan, and re-examined his achievements over the past thousand years. This research was named "Ascension Force" by him.
Benjamin's original idea for Ascension Force was actually not complicated: based on the Entropy Reduction cycle of Information Plane, combined with Immortal Cultivation System's technology to mobilize Power of Heaven and Earth, a universal system was constructed that allowed wizards to use their own limited power to guide the huge energy of the outside world to participate in the battle.
If successful, this technology can significantly improve the wizard's energy utilization efficiency, thereby enhancing its continuous combat capabilities.
For Wizard Civilization who needs to deal with countless enemies at the same time, this improvement may even be more important than simply increasing the power of a certain attack spell.
Because of this, Benjamin had no intention from the beginning to make it a special skill that only he could use.
He hopes that it can adapt to different rule systems, so that wizards of different levels and specializations can benefit from it, and eventually become a basic technology that can be promoted to the entire Wizard Civilization.
However, after he actually started researching, he discovered that the matter was far from being as simple as he imagined.
I won't go into details about the purely technical difficulties. After the initial version was developed, various messy problems also emerged one after another.
It can be said that in the past thousand years, he has overturned various plans that are too numerous to count.
Of course, not all investments are unrewarded.
In fact, Benjamin's harvest is not bad.
With the in-depth study of the Entropy Reduction cycle, Power of Heaven and Earth mobilization technology and various law structures, his own Spirit Energy Law mastery base has also grown rapidly, and now has reached more than two hundred, becoming the strongest among the laws he has mastered.
If we look solely at his personal strength and theoretical reserves, although his progress has been slower over the years, it is definitely not a waste.
But the problem is, Ascension Force still hasn't been able to fully realize what Benjamin originally wanted to accomplish.
The biggest problem Benjamin encounters at this stage is that the Entropy Reduction cycle can indeed make the surrounding energy structure more orderly, but it does not mean that all energy can be directed arbitrarily.
Different planes have different laws, which makes the elements of different planes also have qualitative differences.
Even if the same loop structure is used, running in different rule systems and environments may produce completely different results.
Benjamin called up the experimental records that just failed, arranged the data on element flow, circulation Stability and law conversion efficiency, etc., and compared them item by item.
After a while, he finally found the first reason for this failure.
The problem lies in the adaptation between the circulation structure and the external energy.
The structure he originally designed assumes that external energy can enter the cycle according to preset rules and be gradually transformed into usable ordered energy under guidance.
But the reality is obviously not that simple.
There are differences between different elements, and different laws constrain energy in different ways.
Even if two energies are similar in some surface features, their internal structures may not be directly compatible.
Once the introduced energy does not match the cyclic structure, the runes originally used to maintain order will be affected.
At least it will reduce the efficiency, but at worst it will cause the entire cycle to lose Stability.
"So, what is missing is not a more complex cycle, but a structure that can judge and adapt to the operation of external energy."
Benjamin leaned back in his chair and thought.
This conclusion is not difficult to understand. The real difficulty is how to turn it into a technology that can actually run.
Theoretically, he can design a separate cycle structure for each law and element, and then adjust it for different element environments.
In this way, many problems can be solved.
But if this approach is adopted, Ascension Force will become a large and cumbersome set of technologies.
Every time a rule is added, a lot of time needs to be invested in adaptation and testing.
If you want to promote it to the entire Wizard Civilization, you must prepare a huge number of corresponding solutions in advance.
This is not completely without value, but it is far from the original goal of Benjamin.
What he wants is a basic technology that ordinary wizards can gradually master.
"In this case, we must start with the most basic Four Great Elemental Laws--trouble."
Benjamin rubbed his eyebrows and turned off the experiment record.
These years of research have given him a clear understanding of this problem, but the deeper he goes, the more he can see the unresolved details.
He knew very well that he had underestimated the complexity of this technology.
If Ascension Force is as simple as he originally thought, then someone should have completed research along a similar direction long ago.
"I still have the technology of Immortal Cultivation System as a reference, but I still encounter so many problems. No wonder Information Plane has been conquered for so long, and I haven't heard of any powerful technology being proposed."
Those wizards who also obtained Entropy Reduction Cycle Technique back then should be able to obtain some improvements for themselves if they are willing to work hard on research.
Technology that provides extra strength.
However, it is obvious that this sign of technical personal style is extremely obvious and has no meaning of dissemination at all.
Thinking this, the Magic Network Terminal next to it lights up.
"Benjamin, I'm here!" Viola's voice was as brisk as ever, "You won't be in the laboratory and lose track of time again, will you?!"
Benjamin glanced at the record subconsciously and realized that he had indeed been working continuously for a long time. "No, come in."
The teleportation light lit up, and Viola came to the laboratory.
Her eyes swept around the laboratory, and then fell on Benjamin: "It seems that you have been studying it for a long time."
She walked to the experimental table, glanced at the Magic Array that had just stopped running next to her, and raised her eyebrows. "Failed again?"
"Yeah." Benjamin is quite calm. He has become accustomed to failure over the years.
Viola shook his head, took out a Recording Crystal from the storage space and placed it on the experimental table. "Okay, I don't know exactly what you are studying. I am here to deliver the agreed reward."
Benjamin glanced at the Recording Crystal and nodded.
Previously, he lent the Level 9 Creation of Infinite Energy to Viola to study the special powers involved. When the two parties signed the contract, they had clearly agreed that Viola would need to report the research status to him every hundred years as a reward.
This time, what she brought was a summary of research over the past hundred years.
Benjamin picked up the crystal: "Time flies so fast----"
"You are too immersed in research!"
Viola rolled his eyes at him, skillfully pulled out a chair from the side and sat down. "However, there are indeed some gains in the past hundred years. Its internal structural changes and part of the energy flow path have basically been confirmed——"
Benjamin Open Recording Crystal and listen to her story while reading the data.
Viola's research report is quite valuable. After all, he is a genius second only to the tutor Clark.
Although there is still a long way to go to completely crack the core technology, the data inside is still quite valuable to Benjamin.
Especially at this stage, he is stuck on the issue of the operation structure of elements.
Benjamin After roughly browsing part of it, he nodded. "Your data is quite good, and it is also very effective for my current research.

"As long as it works."
Viola's voice came from the side, and Benjamin subconsciously raised his head and looked at her, because he did not hear the usual joy in the voice just now.
Sure enough, Viola's expression suddenly became extremely serious.
Viola looked at Benjamin and was silent for a while. "Do you want to temporarily change your strategy recently?"
Benjamin was stunned. "What's wrong?"
"Because the war is getting closer." Viola looked serious.
"Although I know you like research very much, in my opinion, your personal strength improvement over the past thousand years has not met expectations."
Having said this, she hesitated for a moment and seemed to be thinking about it, "My mentor and my wife have also asked you about your current situation over the years. They are worried that you will devote too much time and energy to this research and delay your own growth."
Benjamin looked at her and fell silent.
He understood why Viola and his mentor had such concerns.
After these years of fermentation, the coming war is no longer a secret for a few people.
At least among the High-Rank Wizard group, many people have realized that a war is coming.
Under such circumstances, Benjamin has been putting a lot of energy into an unsuccessful research, which is indeed a bit risky from the perspective of others.
"Of course, I'm not advising you to stop completely." Viola explained.
"But the current situation is special, time is getting tighter and tighter, war will come at some point, and everyone is working hard to improve their strength.
So if you are stuck on a certain problem now, I think you can change the direction temporarily, or study something less complicated, and you will make new discoveries - at least you should not keep yourself in this state."
Benjamin knows that what Viola said makes sense. Even in Wizard Civilization, it is a very complicated experiment after thousands of years of continuous research.
If Benjamin didn't have another civilization's technology as a reference, he wouldn't have the confidence to continue researching it.
Benjamin was silent for a moment, then comforted him, "Senior, don't worry. I have not neglected my cultivation, and I have been advancing in other research areas. It's just that this technology is currently encountering some difficulties and there has been no significant progress in a short period of time, but this does not mean that I have reached a dead end."
"In that case, I won't say anything more."
Viola sighed lightly, "But at least promise me one thing."
"What?"
"Don't let yourself have no time to rest just because you are so anxious to catch up. You are not fighting alone now. Your mentor and master's wife are always paying attention to your situation. If you encounter a problem that really cannot be solved, you can go to them to discuss it."
Having said this, she regained some of her usual smile.
"Of course, I can also help. Although I can't say that I can solve all your problems, my talents are not bad."
Benjamin smiled, "Of course!"
"Then I'll leave first." Viola said, "In the next report, I hope to see good news about you."
He raised his head and smiled at her, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
Viola stared at him for a few seconds, but finally stopped persuading him.
With Benjamin's character, truly decided things rarely change completely with a few words of advice.
She could only hope that Benjamin had indeed thought through what to do next, as he said.
