Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi's redesigned power system is very bold, even subversive. Because in the wizarding world, the style of magic brooms is basically fixed. From ancient times to the present, it is a long stick inserted in a tail made of branches.

But if Lin Zhenxi also adopted this design, she would not be able to beat the designer in the wizarding world, because they had been running on that track for thousands of years and their skills had become perfect. Therefore, she had to find a new way.

Therefore, Maki Hayashi decided to design a magic broom with twin engines.

This kind of thinking is quite normal, right? If you compare magic brooms to fighter jets, then all magic brooms now are single-engine fighter jets, that is, they only have one tail and one engine to provide power.

While single-engine fighters are more agile, twin-engine fighters clearly have the upper hand in terms of speed. Lin Zhenxi isn't some freak with superb kinetic vision and reflexes, a professional rider who can manipulate a magic broom with extraordinary skill. She simply uses the magic broom as a means of transportation, so speed is paramount to her.

Fight fast, run fast, win fast!

As for why they chose two tails instead of more, it was because Lin Zhenxi studied the magic broom's control system and found that it was developed entirely for a magic broom with only one tail. With two tails, it was barely usable, at most losing the ability to roll, and being unable to roll in the air while holding the magic broom. But if the tails were increased to three, it would be completely messed up.

Therefore, two tails are the limit of this control system. If it continues to increase, Lin Zhenxi will have to design a new control system for the magic broom, and the engineering workload is much more complicated than the power system.

So Lin Zhenxi decided to use the original operating system. She was used to this system anyway, and if she changed it again, she would have to adapt to it again.

To sum up, Maki Hayashi made a new type of magic broom with two tails that cannot be tilted left or right at a large angle.

The handle of the magic broom was still the same as before, but the long pole in the middle had been converted into a seat. Since the magic broom couldn't roll over anymore, it would be awkward to continue flying with it between her legs. Sitting sideways wouldn't be easy, not to mention the long pole would be a little uncomfortable, and losing the view behind her would be dangerous.

After comprehensive consideration, Lin Zhenxi completely abandoned the traditional magic broom riding posture and directly changed the middle part of the magic broom into a seat. In this way, she can sit on the magic broom, put her legs on the broom, and fly comfortably in a semi-reclining position.

Finally, there is the tail of the magic broom. This is also the place where Lin Zhenxi made the biggest changes. After all, the tail has been changed from one to two. Lin Zhenxi tried several times just to find the most suitable angle between the two tails.

In the end, Lin Zhenxi chose the somewhat subtle angle of 35 degrees. She didn't know why this angle was better than 30 degrees or 60 degrees, but the test data showed that it was like this.

After finalizing the design of the magic broom, Lin Zhenxi began experimenting with its construction. The long handle was the easiest to make; anything would work, since it simply served as an intermediate shaft connecting the control system and the powertrain. However, since that was where Lin Zhenxi sat, comfort was a must, so Lin Zhenxi ultimately decided to use fire copper for the handle.

Fire copper can also be considered a magical material, but it is not very mysterious. After all, its only special feature is that it can absorb fire elements and then emit heat by itself. Apart from this, it is almost no different from red copper.

However, Lin Zhenxi wanted to use the heat-generating properties of fire copper to keep her butt warm while sitting on the broom. As for the claim that this material was unsuitable for making magic props? After all, it was a metal and easily shaped, so that was enough.

In fact, compared to the hard fire copper, warm jade is more suitable for Lin Zhenxi's requirements. Unfortunately, warm jade is not easy to process, and Lin Zhenxi does not have enough warm jade in stock to make a long magic broom handle, so warm jade can only be discarded.

Of course, if Lin Zhenxi gets enough warm jade in the future, she will probably replace the parts of the magic broom. After all, the surface of jade can become soft after being treated with magic, which is definitely more comfortable than the hard fire copper chair.

Use the Transfiguration Spell to shape the hot fire copper ingot in front of you into the shape of a broom seat, and carefully leave a small channel in the middle to inject magic marrow to form a magic circuit. In this way, a metal magic broom handle is completed.

After pouring the magic marrow liquid into those small holes that were slightly thicker than a hair, Lin Zhenxi installed the handle of the original magic broom on the head of this metal broomstick, then picked up the tail of the broomstick and squinted his eyes to carefully observe the small holes that had been poured with the magic marrow.

Good, they're all glowing, which means the circuits are clear.

The production is complete... Of course, that's only the first half. The final part is the real highlight.

Hayashi Maki uses a wedge-shaped stone, also known as sphene, to create the base of the magic circle for the power system. While this is a bit different from the original, it's not much more advanced, so it's basically a comparable replacement.

After drawing the bases of the two magic circles, Lin Zhenxi put the two round stones together to compare their similarities. He felt that there was no difference at all with the naked eye, so he nodded with satisfaction, put them all aside, and began to think about what to use to make branches for the magic broom.

The branches of the magic broom serve to increase the area of ​​contact with the air, improving the conversion efficiency of the power magic inscribed on the magic circle's base. In other words, any material with a high magic power transmission rate will do. However, due to the high speeds required for a magic broom to fly, the wake turbulence will have a significant impact on the broom, especially the tail. If the material is too fragile and too light, it will easily break.

Therefore, magic brooms in the wizarding world basically use hard and thin branches as the tail of the magic broom, which takes into account both the contact area with the air and the hardness of the broom itself.

But Lin Zhenxi seemed to have some other ideas, because she thought about her hair.

Of course, she couldn't use her own hair to make the tail of the magic broom. Hair is a girl's second life. Lin Zhenxi would be unhappy if her hair was cut, let alone used to make a broom.

What this means is that the delicate condition of Lin Zhenxi's hair now gave her a lot of inspiration, giving her some new ideas on how to make the tail of the magic broom.

Since the wake will affect the tail, why not just make something that will never be torn or crushed?

I used a completely intangible object as the tail of a magic broom, and you can't pull out all the energy threads from me.

With his own methods as a guide, Lin Zhenxi quickly completed a prototype. Testing confirmed that these energy threads would not appear when inactive, extending from the base only when mana flowed in. Due to their fully energy-based structure, they possessed excellent mana conductivity and could be continuously regenerated, as long as mana continued to flow.

Of course, this kind of energy thread is not perfect, because it is disposable. The continuously extending energy thread will lose contact with the source of magic power due to the increase in length. After extending to a certain length, it will naturally fall off, and there will be no way to recover this part of the magic power used to make the energy thread.

Compared with a normal magic broom, the one made by Lin Zhenxi consumes several times more magic power when used, but her current magic power reserves are more than several times higher than the average level of the wizarding world, dozens of times is probably the least, so she can fully control this kind of magic broom.

A circular magic circle base was cut, and the magic circle that generated energy threads was engraved on it in a circular shape. Then this circular magic circle was put on the periphery of the power system, and finally a sticky spell was used to completely fix them. A Lin Zhenxi version of the magic broom was completely completed.

It seems quite simple, and it is nothing like what the man selling the magic broom said, that each broom must be hand-polished by a master craftsman, and it takes three months to make one.

However, those British guys seem to like to engage in this so-called high-end luxury private customization, using a lot of useless gimmicks to make their products look very high-end, and then use this to sell things that are not worth the price at a high price that exceeds their value.

As for marketing, it’s a matter of mutual consent. If you spend money to buy happiness, just create as much as you can if you have money.

Anyway, Lin Zhenxi looked at the new-age magic broom that he had spent half a day making. It was made of metal, had no tail, but had two wedge-shaped stone discs on the back of the butt, and felt that it was very good. It was no worse than those handicrafts made by so-called masters.

No matter how exquisite it is, it still remains a means of transportation, not an exhibit to be placed in a display case for people to admire. If that's the case, then why make it so beautiful?

However, the color of fire copper is indeed not very good-looking, with a hint of red in black. Although it will appear fiery red after polishing, that color will soon turn black due to oxidation.

In that case, it might be better to wrap it with something to cover it.

Between painting and wrapping it with leather, Lin Zhenxi chose the former. After all, although furry things feel comfortable to the touch, they are easy to get dirty and difficult to clean. Moreover, Lin Zhenxi has now modified the magic broom to be driven by consciousness, so there is no need to consider the feel.

Lin Zhenxi then cast a color-changing spell on the main part of the magic broom, painting it silver-white. Adding some light purple lines to it, the double-tailed magic broom was finally complete.

Lin Zhenxi couldn't wait to test its performance. After all, this was related to whether she could pass the next level of Mochizuki difficulty. It was crucial whether the speed of this magic broom was fast enough.
