Witch Special

RT, I don’t know what this chapter is about either.

Anyway, the protagonist's magic power is liquid at the beginning, which can be regarded as water. It is not compressible, so after the magic power fills the magic circuit, it will no longer grow.

Later, through the transformation of magic power, the magic power turned from water to water vapor. Although it can be compressed, it is difficult to control. Once released outside the body, it will evaporate and spread directly.

Therefore, Lin Zhenxi immediately needs to increase the pressure of the water vapor to turn it into liquefied water vapor. This will not only increase the concentration of magic power, but also improve its maneuverability.

However, liquefied water vapor is far more dangerous than steam. As you can imagine, a steam explosion can blast even a 200-ton reactor pressure vessel dozens of meters high. The protagonist doesn't dare experiment directly on his own body, so he can only verify the process of concentrated magic power turning into liquid droplets in an external environment. This is how the magic essence is created.

Only after figuring out how to keep the magic essence stable and not explode, the protagonist dares to work on the magic in his body and perform the second magic transformation.

After reading this, you can continue to read the following incomprehensible books that even confused the author himself.

------------

When the magic essence, concentrated by the energy-gathering array, dripped from the top of the energy pool, Lin Zhenxi was filled with joy. This highly liquefied magic was the real interpretation of her "magic transformation." The production of magic essence precisely confirmed the correctness of the path she was taking.

Magic power is actually activated elements. Elements are extremely small particles in the air. According to Lin Zhenxi's calculations, the diameter of an element particle is about 0.000003 meters, or about 300 nanometers. The diameter also varies depending on the type of element.

Lin Zhenxi estimated that this was because the internal structures of these elemental particles were different, but what the internal structures of the elemental particles were like was not known for the time being because Lin Zhenxi had no way of making a magic microscope that could observe such tiny objects.

Forget magic; even science can't do it. The physical limits of optical instruments are determined by the diffraction of light waves. Even at the theoretically highest precision, which is half the imaging wavelength, it's still 200 nanometers. Under that level of microscope, an elemental particle is just a discernible speck; its internal structure is impossible to discern.

As for the more precise electron microscopes, ion microscopes, and scanning probe microscopes, what they see are not real scenes, but are high-tech products integrating optics, mechanics, and electronics, obtained through the comprehensive use of optoelectronic technology, laser technology, weak signal detection technology, and comprehensive processing of modern scientific and technological achievements such as precision mechanical design and processing, automatic control technology, digital signal processing technology, applied optical technology, computer high-speed acquisition and control, and high-resolution graphics processing technology.

It sounds impressive, but the results are digitally processed, electronically synthesized, and realistic. In other words, it's a purely scientific product that's been "scientifically" processed. However, in the realm of science, neither elements nor magic exist. Therefore, if Lin Zhenxi used a more precise microscope that broke through the limitations of optics, he wouldn't be able to see anything.

Therefore, if you want to observe the internal structure of elemental particles, you must use magical means, or observe directly with optical means through the naked eye.

However, Lin Zhenxi's magical methods are currently not working, and he doesn't even have an idea. However, the way to improve the recognition ability of the naked eye is ready-made and obvious, which is inhumane.

The limits of optical instruments are determined by the wavelength of visible light that the human eye can discern, which is 390nm to 760nm. Therefore, if the limit of light waves that the human eye can receive can be lowered, entering the field of extreme ultraviolet rays, or even more exaggerated X-rays and gamma rays, we can naturally see more detailed images.

But putting aside whether it is worth changing one's own race just to see the internal structure of elemental particles, Lin Zhenxi can't find any extraordinary creature that can see extreme ultraviolet light with the naked eye to serve as a template for his own evolution.

Lin Zhenxi is a witch, not some "human woman with magical powers." From the moment she chose a wand as her initial weapon, time froze for her, and she officially embraced her own extraordinary career template—a wizard. Later, she acquired the Witch's Book, transforming her inner self into a witch, completely losing her human identity.

The witches here aren't the bizarre, often tangled up in literary works with tentacles, succubi, spell-like abilities, and sacrificial rituals. They're the traditional, serious kind, just like Kryptonians, Martians, and Earthlings—they're the name of a race.

It is not difficult for Lin Zhenxi to transform the innate abilities of extraordinary creatures into his own bloodline abilities through some means. After all, the witch bloodline has extremely strong inclusiveness and can well integrate the advantages of other extraordinary creatures.

The real difficulty came after the blood fusion. Once the blood fusion was complete, the witch's body would also show those inhuman characteristics. Lin Zhenxi had not yet given up her human appearance, so she had not taken action against herself.

And now, even if Lin Zhenxi intends to give up her persistence and buy herself a pair of eyes that can see the spectrum beyond visible light, she cannot find a suitable creature to extract the evolutionary template in this world where nothing is mysterious.

Therefore, at least in the short term, understanding the internal structure of elemental particles became an unattainable luxury. Without knowing the internal structure of elemental particles, Lin Zhenxi would find it difficult to understand certain properties of elemental particles, such as how to compress them so that a container of the same capacity could hold more magic power.

After all, the transformation of magic power occurred within Lin Zhenxi's body. She had no way of directly observing the process with her naked eyes, but she had simply changed her method of "visualization." Before, she had guided the magic power as a liquid, but now she had switched to compressed gas.

The rapid evaporation of magic power after it is directed from the body to the outside world during the casting of the spell shows that the magic power after the transformation can only be manipulated within Lin Zhenxi's body. Once it leaves her body, it will directly expand and spread.

They were like liquefied natural gas, in an unstable state between liquid and gas. When inside the body, due to the high concentration of magic power in Lin Zhenxi's body, the magic power was compressed and took on the properties of a liquid. Once outside, it quickly returned to its gaseous state.

Lin Zhenxi's goal is to achieve a stable property transformation of magic power, that is, to give the magic power that has become compressible after the magic power transformation back to the properties of liquid, so that it can remain stable even after leaving her body.

The successful condensation of the magic essence means that some of her guesses are correct.

Even if magic power were to explode in a gaseous state, it wouldn't have much power; it just looked scary because of its bulk. But when compressed into a liquid state, concentrated magic power was different. It was like replacing a rocket with a firecracker. If it went off in your hand, you wouldn't just get burned by the gunpowder; you could very well blow your fingers off.

Therefore, Lin Zhenxi did not dare to lie down directly in the magic circle like he did before when transforming magic power, closing his eyes and making up his mind. If he made the right bet, he would succeed, and if he failed, he could start over.

In a situation where one wrong step could cost his life, Lin Zhenxi had to first determine the process of magic power conversion from gas to liquid before he dared to start the second half of the magic power conversion process and convert the magic power in his body into liquid again.

Therefore, the birth of the magic essence not only marks the beginning of Lin Zhenxi's large-scale storage of magic power in the magic tower, but also her verification of the path she will take next.

If he could successfully return to the main world, Lin Zhenxi really wanted to go to the other world he had been to before and learn from his teacher again.

Unlike Lin Zhenxi, who had only just begun her journey into the supernatural world a decade earlier, her master teacher was a highly experienced witch. Although Lin Zhenxi had never asked her teacher's actual age out of courtesy, the sheer number of handwritten grimoires, which filled her vast underground library, indicated that her age was at least a century old.

That's a magic book! It can only be written on page by page with a pen, not an industrial product mass-produced in a printing factory.

When a witch writes a grimoire, her own mystique permeates the pages, transforming them into magical props. If ordinary people or those lacking sufficient mysticism read these grimoires, they will at best see nothing, or at worst be driven mad by the incomprehensible mysteries.

However, if the reader possesses sufficient mystical abilities, they can directly imprint the knowledge contained within the grimoire into their own minds, even incorporating their own understanding of the contents. This efficiency is comparable to copying and pasting files on a computer. Even though digesting that knowledge takes time and cannot be applied immediately, the grimoire is still a highly advanced carrier of knowledge.

The text that records mysteries is itself a mystery, and the mystery of a magic book is directly linked to the mystery of its contents. When Lin Zhenxi was studying in her teacher's large library, she couldn't even find a magic book she was qualified to read in the vast underground library.

Although the bookshelves were filled with magic books of all colors, sizes, and sizes, all with bookmarks inside, Lin Zhenxi's hands would be repelled by the mysterious power attached to them even if she touched them, let alone open them. So, in the end, although she had learned systematic magic knowledge from her great teacher, she had never opened a single magic book in the library.

It's so sad...

Anyway, when Lin Zhenxi was studying with the teacher, he only learned basic knowledge, which was equivalent to spending a few years there to go through a round of compulsory education again, except that he learned magic instead of science.

Now, the problems that Lin Zhenxi encountered were no longer solvable by the knowledge taught in high school textbooks. They had even exceeded the scope of university and required at least a graduate level to solve, so she was naturally at a loss.

However, the difficulty that Lin Zhenxi is facing now may be just a small problem that can be solved with just a casual mention in the eyes of a great teacher who is at least an academician of the two academies, or even the chief academician, a peerless national scholar.

After all, while Lin Zhenxi was still struggling with the liquefaction of magic power, her teacher had already completed the crystallization of magic power, successfully created his own "Philosopher's Stone", and achieved the mysterious realm of the Holy Spirit.

This is equivalent to a hurdle race. Lin Zhenxi just raised her leg to step over the first horizontal bar, but her teacher was already standing at the finish line and turned to look at her. The gap is so huge.

But does this mean that when we encounter difficulties, we can only go back to the teacher?

It's foreseeable that Lin Zhenxi will face many difficulties in the future. The path of magic is no less challenging than that of science. And unlike the collaborative efforts of science, the study of magic is often a solitary and painstaking endeavor. If Lin Zhenxi turns to the Great Sensei for help every time she encounters a problem, will she ultimately forge her own path in magic, or will she retrace her teacher's path?

The path that suits her teacher may not necessarily suit her. If Lin Zhenxi unilaterally pursues replicating her teacher's success, then her path to magic will definitely not go far.

So, in the end, the teacher's opinions can only be suggestions. Lin Zhenxi still has to solve the difficulties she encounters on her own. So, let's put this belief into practice starting with this problem.
