chapter 21
Pearl in the Mud
room temperature superconductor.
It was the dream technology of modern science.
Modern science has succeeded in achieving the present civilization with the power of electricity, and since superconductors have zero electrical resistance, they can handle electricity without wasting energy.
In other words, the commercialization of superconductors is a technology that urges the rapid development of scientific civilization.
However, it was difficult to commercialize superconductors with current science and technology.
It has already succeeded in achieving a superconductor technically, but this is because it can only be implemented in an environment with very high atmospheric pressure or very low temperature.
However, Leon thought that it would be possible not only to commercialize this room temperature superconductor, but also to make his own body into a superconductor if it was the power of magic.
Why do electrons have no choice but to have electrical resistance?
Since the electron is a fermion with a semi-integer spin, it is a particle whose states cannot be quantumly superimposed according to Pauli’s exclusion principle.
Simply put, when electrons collide, they repel each other and bounce off.
Therefore, when electrons move with energy, they collide with other particles and generate electrical resistance.
However, in a superconductor that has reached a temperature close to absolute zero, the electrical resistance disappears, and the electrons change into bosons whose spin is an integer, particles that can quantum state overlap, and do not bounce off even when they collide. found in agglomeration.
In some materials, when the temperature is extremely lowered, the energy of the particles has no choice but to have a quantum ground state, so the states overlap each other, and fermions with half-integer spins combine with each other to form a Cooper pair. It was the theory that it would be converted into a boson with
According to that theory, Leon paired all the electrons that make up the body.
When two electrons with a spin of 0.5 form a Cooper pair and change to a boson with a spin of 1, the states can overlap without colliding with each other, so Leon’s body becomes a superconductor with zero electrical resistance.
This is a state that can only be experienced by electrons placed in the quantum state of the ground, so the electrons that gained energy from Leon’s body temperature or microgravity resisted returning to the fermion, but Leon succeeded in controlling it only by transcendental magic response. .
The power that Leon obtained through this was simple.
Overwhelming neurotransmission speed.
Normally, the reflexes of living things consist of the transmission of electrical signals generated by complex chemical reactions. Since the electricity generated at this time is at a weak level, in order to transmit electrical signals without loss of information, it is It had to depend on the reaction.
Because of this neuron method, human reflexes cannot cross the 0.1 second barrier no matter how fast they are.
Leon experienced the limitations of such a creature over and over on the battlefield.
Experiences that almost lost their lives to blind arrows that they don’t even know where they came from.
Therefore, Leon has come up with a way to somehow overcome that limit, and the solution to that is to make his own body a room-temperature superconductor.
When a neuron is stimulated, the potential difference generated is immediately transmitted to the central nerve, and the central nerve’s instruction reaches the body immediately.
So, Leon gave this magic the name Hatch and Noe Dong (附和雷同).
When the body reacts to external stimuli at lightning speed rather than moving through thought, there is no time to think and make judgments on its own.
The body automatically responds to the information entered into the brain, just like the sound of thunder when lightning strikes.
It was because of that that Leon was able to react to Arya’s magic now.
The Ice Arrow, which flew at a speed that exceeded the limit of reaction speed, was smashed by Leon’s fist.
At this time, electrons are emitted.
The superconductor that makes up the sub-ventilator has a very high voltage applied to it, so just pouring it out causes lightning to strike from your fist.
Quarreung!
This was Leon’s quantum magic that reached the 2nd circle.
But even this magic had its limits.
No matter how fast Leon’s reflexes were, the movement itself didn’t speed up, so he couldn’t show a performance beyond his physical abilities that were strengthened with magical power.
Hatchling Thunderbolt is a complex magic.
The number of electrons that make up the whole body is immeasurable, and they had to be paired with each other to form a Cooper pair, and the resistance of electrons to return to the fermion by receiving microscopic energy such as body temperature and gravity must be controlled only by mental strength.
The amount of magic consumed was enormous, and above all, the consumption of mental power was extreme.
Leon’s Quantum Magic had reached the 2nd circle and could barely be developed, but it was certain that it was not a type of magic that could be maintained for a long time.
‘Go ahead.’
Leon quickly made a decision and took action.
Arya, who was momentarily startled by Leon’s change, bit her lip and continued pouring out magic.
As if he had taken care of Leon until now, a stronger resistance than ever before began.
The blades of snowflakes flew through the air at her gestures,
The frost on the ground was in full bloom, forming a thorny path.
The Ice Arrow and Ice Spear flying towards Leon were a bonus.
The magical resonance of Big Freeze has taken over the space, causing the death of all thermal energy.
But Leon overcame all those adversities at once.
All the snowflakes and frost shattered before Leon’s steps and lightning bolts from his fists.
Electrons that existed in the body of the superconductor Leon go back to the fermion from the boson in the process of being released out of the body.
The problem is that the electrons in this boson state form an ultra-high voltage in which numerous particles are quantumly superimposed, and the moment they return from the boson to the fermion, all the electrons are ejected from the same quantum state and generate enormous thermal energy.
The vast amount of heat energy generated at this time melted all of Arya’s freezing magic and smashed the flying Ice Arrow and Ice Spear.
Quarreung!
But is it because the number of magic that Arya pours out is so vast?
Even Leon’s hatching thunderbolt could not stop all the magic.
If it can’t be stopped, it should at least be avoided, but now Leon’s body is in the process of receiving and processing vast amounts of external stimuli and information, and is moving on its own regardless of his will.
Although he could have avoided enough, he had given priority to other actions and received the magic as his body like a madman, and continued to move forward according to Leon’s only superficial consciousness.
This could be said to be another disadvantage of hatching cerebral sinus.
Fortunately, Leon’s body had a very high voltage, so the moment it touched a substance that could conduct electricity, it emitted an electric current and burned and melted everything.
Quickly, quickly!
It was as if the god of lightning had descended on this earth.
And Leon was finally able to cross Arya’s ten-year-old snowfield and get close to her.
“Don’t tell me to give up.”
But it’s going to be a bit exhilarating.
Lightning flashed from the fingers that were aimed at Arya.
Quarreung!
* * *
Leon heard her mother’s voice in a dream.
It was a voice I had heard before.
“Live. Leon. must live.”
Hearing those words, I thought it was still a dream, but the words that followed were words that Leon had never heard in the past.
“You cannot die like this. Isn’t it your birthday? You said you wanted to celebrate your life in the future.”
Riel’s crying voice was very earnest, but apart from his emotions, Leon was able to instinctively feel relieved by hearing that voice.
‘History has changed.’
He said goodbye to the regrets of the terrible past and felt a new future approaching.
Leon’s consciousness sank deeply with relief, and in the end, it was only after a long time that he could barely regain consciousness.
“Leon? Leon!”
When Riel saw such a figure of Leon, she burst into tears and held Leon in her arms.
Leon was able to understand the situation only after comforting his mother who could not stop crying for a long time.
Leon, who finished the battle, immediately collapsed.
In the first place, there was a reason that the magic of hatching thunderbolt was extremely consuming magical power and mental power, but it seemed that his life was in danger because of the large amount of bleeding he had suffered from Arya before that.
Fortunately, however, he was rescued by the soldiers of the Parostel family and was able to receive a potion and was said to have been asleep for four days and four nights.
Leon laughed bitterly after hearing Riel’s words.
Before returning, Leon went to the gym at the age of 10 and was beaten up by his brothers and sisters and brought to the attic, where he lay ill for three months.
Leon couldn’t help but laugh at the fact that the time and place were similar and the situation was similar, but only the result had changed drastically.
However, in this life, she was determined not to worry her mother and put a burden on her mind and body, but at the thought of causing her worries again, Leon reflected once more.
This was all due to inexperience.
If quantum magic had reached the level of 2nd circle in the first place, there would be no need to suffer like this, and there would be no need to worry about my mother.
Leon once again made a promise in his heart and said to Riel.
“mother. It will be really different from now on. We are happy together.”
At Leon’s words like that, Riel spilled the tears he thought he had shed again.
Then, as if he had suddenly remembered, he wiped his tears and said.
“Oh, I see.”
“Yes?”
“Your father is looking for you.”
As soon as he heard those words, Leon could feel his body shudder.Read at NovelNext.com
Just by looking at the dryness of his mouth, he could clearly feel that he was nervous.
‘I’ve never been so nervous even when going out on a battlefield where there’s no chance of winning.’
Leon went to the main building.
It was the first time in two years since I was 8 years old when I competed with Silen.
In front of the main building, Leon had no choice but to be caught by the guards.
It was because not many guards recognized his face yet.
“Stop. Reveal your identity and tell your business.”
The moment Leon was about to answer the guard’s reaction, another guard intervened.
“Excuse me a lot! Master Leon! I heard the word from the Lord. I will write a message to the lord right now, so please wait in the waiting room!”
Then, the guards poured out of the guard room and guided Leon to the waiting room.
Among them was the guard who grabbed Leon by the collar two years ago, and he was restless and unable to do this or that.
The other guards were serving Leon with high-quality refreshments while he was doing it.
Looking at them like that, Leon could feel with his skin that his position had changed significantly while he lost his mind.
And Leon was soon guided by the guards and was able to walk to the audience room.
Leon, standing in front of the door, had to take a deep breath and control his mind.
I closed my eyes and practiced self-hypnosis as usual.
When he opened his eyes again, Leon’s heart was as clear and pure as the surface of a lake without a single wind.
When Leon opened his eyes, the servant who took it as a signal opened the door wide.
Leon without a word trudged to the center of the audience, knelt down on one knee, and was polite.
After a while of silence, Leon’s father, Marquis Parostel, suddenly spoke.
“How old are you?”
Leon was silent for a moment at that question.
The last time I was asked this question was right after my mother died.
The situation was completely different from back then, but I needed to clear my mind to answer that.
“I am 10 years old.”
“…it’s worth it.”
And the evaluation of the Marquis of Parostel was different from that time.
From trash to usable tools.
Leon couldn’t help but smile bitterly inwardly upon hearing that.
Leon doesn’t know much about the Marquis of Parostel.
That’s probably because it was only the second time in Leon’s 67-year life that he had met his father.
Nevertheless, his evaluation did not deviate even one inch from Leon’s expectations.
To him, Leon was not a child, but merely a useful tool.
“okay. I think I know well why I called you here. tell me what you want Do not reward me for this work.”
The answer to that had been decided three years before Leon returned to this place.
“Write a letter of recommendation to the academy.”
This will be a good title for Leon to enter and exit the family.
But the real purpose was different, so Leon swallowed dry saliva and continued.
“And I want to take my mother there. I have proven my worth as my skills. Now, the world will pay more attention to the fact that I am a genius from the Farostel magic family, rather than the fact that I am the bastard who inherited the blood of the common people. Then there would be no reason to hide her from the public anymore, would there be?”
At Leon’s words, the corners of Marquis Parostel’s lips rose.
Leon is 10 years old.
He risked his life in this friendly match.
The fact that Leon, who was a secret existence as the illegitimate son of the family, revealed his identity to outside forces, had such a meaning.
At first, I thought it was an atrocity because I was young and didn’t know it well, but now that I see it, I can recognize that Leon had planned everything thoroughly.
The reason he lives in the attic of the family is because he is a shameful person in the family.
If that’s the case, then it’s time to prove your skills and become a person you’re not ashamed of.
And Leon proved his genius by defeating the genius of Rothbane, the rival family of Farostel.
He succeeded in attaining freedom by his own strength.
It’s easy to say, but there’s something surprising about what a 10-year-old kid had planned and put into practice.
When he realized that the thing he had thought was garbage was actually a pearl buried in the mud, and when he realized that it belonged to him, the Marquis of Parostel had no choice but to feel satisfied.
“good night. not allowed.”
At that, Leon quietly shook his head.
It was the moment when one of the goals I had dreamed of as I started this life anew was finally coming to fruition.
But the eyes that gleamed under the deeply bowed head,
Leon didn’t intend to be this satisfied yet.
With the permission of the Marquis of Parostel, the lives of Leon and Riel will definitely improve in the future, but this will not mean freedom in the true sense of the word.
As if to prove it, when Leon returned to the attic, the guards followed shortly after him.
They tried to hide their expressions as much as possible, but they seemed to be astonished to find out that a child of the Farostel family was living in such a wretched place.
“We are the Cheol-eung Knights, a bodyguard that was called by the lord to have Master Leon and his wife Riel as their villa in the royal capital.”
Leon looked at their faces.
Usually, the knights and wizards run by noble families are made up of ‘noble bloodlines’ who have graduated from the academy and have verified their skills.
Even if the common people had excellent skills, they had credibility problems due to their status.
It is not simply because their origins are low, but because commoners are born with nothing to be born with, so they can easily decide to betray them, but there is a political reason that those who inherit aristocratic blood cannot easily change their attitudes even because of the honor of their families. because there is
On the other hand, it was felt that the knights who introduced themselves as the Iron Knights were made up of commoners.
Leon’s father, Mellit Flair Farostel, was not unusual because he had a reputation as a nobleman who could use even commoners without reproach if he had outstanding skills.
“From now on, we will take care of the master and his wife.”
They said so, but Leon snorted inwardly.
Sure enough, horses were called bodyguards, but Leon was fully aware that they were watchers.
