Novel Full Chapter 359: Godly Concept (Bonus)
“So, you’re talking about remodeling the core replacement?” Vivian crossed her arms.
“Yes.” Nathan nodded with a serious expression. “Can you actually remodel them?”
“That depends on what you want. I kind of understand what you’re trying to aim at with this weapon. Right now, the Ena inside the core replacement can’t be absorbed due to the difference in medium.
“No, it’s more like the core’s unique characteristic. Once it’s extracted, it will end up being unusable. That’s why we have to continue swallowing it.
“However, you are trying to change the purpose of the project. Is that correct?”
Nathan raised two fingers. “I’m not trying to stop the research. I’m just wondering if this research can be extended to new stuff.”
“Hoh? Let me hear about it.”
Nathan nodded. He drew a circle and a cube. While pointing at the circle, he explained, “Right now, we are extracting the Ena from the circle to this cube that can contain the Ena inside.
“However, what do you think about turning this cube into a kind of storage? For example, we are using lamps in the street during the night, right?
“What if we have a magic circle that can produce light instead?”
Vivian narrowed her eyes. “The one that will fuel that magic circle is the cube?”
“Yes. Depending on the size, it can be transported pretty easily. And I’m planning to make this small storage and impart it to my weapon. This way, even when I don’t have Ena, I can still shoot some bullets.” Nathan explained.
Vivian suddenly dropped her jaw to the ground. “What did you say?”
“Depending on the size, it can be transported pretty easily.” Nathan tilted his head in confusion.
“No. The last part.”
“This way, even when I don’t have Ena, I can still shoot some bullets?”
Vivian sucked a cold breath. “You… Did you understand what kind of concept you have just brought up?”
Nathan was perplexed. He thought for a moment, but soon shook his head. “No. Is there something wrong with it?”
“You have literally changed my research to something even more terrifying.”
“Terrifying? Due to their size, I don’t think they can hold a lot of Ena, so I don’t know what kind of terrifying thing is in your mind right now, Master.”
Vivian pinched the bridge of her nose. “Let’s say we manage to make it. What will happen next? Do you think it can be implemented in other weapons?”
“Other weapons? Why would they…” Nathan suddenly fell silent. He lowered his head, thinking about one more possibility. “Master… Are you talking about normal people?”
“Yes.” Vivian’s expression turned grim. “If we succeed, people will be thinking about creating this as an add-on for a sword or other weapons. Summoners might not need it, but what about knights and other kinds of fighters who aren’t summoners?”
Nathan’s face darkened. “A normal knight can wield Ena? No. Instead of wielding, it’s more like throwing Ena. Nevertheless, they might be able to unleash an attack much stronger than they have ever released.
“Producing such a thing will be hard, but if the elite knights wield this type of weapon… I’m assuming that a single elite knight can actually kill a juvenile class alien alone…” Nathan gasped. He finally understood how big the concept was. It would literally impact the world.
Currently, they are in the Azilia Kingdom. There was a chance that the Azilia Kingdom would do everything they could to acquire this kind of technology to make their military even stronger.
Vivian continued, “And it’s not limited to knights. We have siege weapons and the likes. Combined with many knights and the high number of weapons, killing a mature class alien is possible even for normal humans.
“But if we apply this kind of technology to those big weapons, you can imagine the power of a ballista that is powered by Ena.
“It’s basically enabling the humans to fight back. Yes. Right now, we’re simply defending against the aliens.
“However, with these weapons, we might be able to fight back and reclaim our territories.”
And that was only with the concept of a magazine. Of course, this might only happen because Vivian was a researcher, but it was still too absurd.
“I guess it’s not possible to develop this technology without being coveted.”
“Yes.” Vivian nodded. “The first person that will come to you is… I don’t think I need to tell you…”
“I know. It’s Principal Sullivan.” Nathan smiled wryly.
“Yeah.”
“But is the concept possible? Even if we develop this, we can still keep it to ourselves, right?”
Vivian fell into deep thought. After a few minutes, she actually said, “No. Let’s publish this, not in the national forum, but in the international forum. This way, we can stop a country from monopolizing it. And the Holy Kingdom will be trying to balance it so that they use it against the aliens instead of each other.
“More likely, they will ask Serafina something. Nevertheless, publishing this will bring more good to humanity for the time being, as we have one common enemy. It might become a weapon that destroys humanity itself once we drive away the aliens, but if we don’t publish this, the aliens will continue to push us back and eventually kill all humans in this world. Hence, we have no options in our current situation.
“However, we’re not taking a normal path. Do you know the Magic Tower?”
Nathan nodded. “Yes. They’re the place where researchers gather.”
“Right now, I’m about to make a patent for the numerical Ena concept. And I’ll be presenting it to their researchers.
“I want to bring you with me and introduce you as both my student and co-author. At the end, I will give a showcase of this new type of weapon without putting in too much detail.
“In other words, our names will drastically become famous. And I will open the concept of storage… maybe after you become a second-year student.
“Before that, you need to summon your fifth familiar and have at least 100,000 Ena in your reserve.
“Of course, I will also focus on getting stronger… at least approaching the level of Leyfon or Sullivan. This way, no one will be reckless enough to bother you.
“What do you think?”
