"In fact, you are wrong. It's not just iron that can be attracted by magnets. There are also two other substances, cobalt and nickel."

“What they have in common is that they can be magnetized. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, the electron spins inside them can spontaneously align in a small range to form a spontaneous magnetization area… That is to say, it is temporarily magnetized and becomes a magnet!

In most substances, the directions of electron movement are different and chaotic, and the magnetic effects cancel each other out, so they are not magnetic." Lin En explained casually.

"Wait, you mean, because these magnets have the power of thunder, they can attract iron products?" Abel asked hurriedly. He didn't understand Lin En's long speech at all, but he heard the word "electronic".

And he knew that iron could conduct electricity!

"What do you think electricity is?" Lynn asked.

"A violent element that is difficult to control. It is extremely fast and has amazing power." Orlando said thoughtfully.

Abel also nodded proudly. Even in Master Anthony's school, only a few wizards could master thunder magic. This was a power they gained at the risk of their lives.

"That's it? Nothing else to add?" Lynn asked with a smile.

"I know! Lightning is a phenomenon caused by the movement of electric charges. There are two types of charges, positive and negative. Charges of the same kind repel each other, and charges of opposite kinds attract each other. In addition, it exists in each of our bodies, so we can move..." Lydia talked incessantly about the formation principle of electricity.

The wizards present all had expressions of surprise and astonishment on their faces. They had not expected that this half-ling girl who could not perform magic had such a profound understanding of lightning. Orlando was even more curious and asked what electrons and electric charges were.

Under the questioning of Orlando and others, Lydia's face became redder and redder, and she stammered and could not answer.

She just repeated all the knowledge that Lin En had taught her before. If she was really asked to explain these terms, she had no way to do it. She could only look at Lin En frequently, her eyes full of help.

“Since you’ve only learned half of it, don’t show off…” Lin En shook his head in amusement and reached out to flick Lydia’s head.

"Scholars of the [Mystical Society] believe that electrons are negatively charged subatomic particles, and electric charge is the positive or negative charge carried by an object or the particles that make up an object. However, because the volume of electrons is so small, even formal wizards cannot sense it."

"Am I right, Lord Abel?" Lin En suddenly said.

Seeing Abel nodded, Lin En suddenly realized that the other party's school did not have the ability to sense electrons and electric charges.

"Dean, since we can't sense these tiny...elements, how can we use the power of thunder?" A witch couldn't help but ask.

Every wizard is very clear about the process of releasing magic, which is to find the element, record it with [Matter Deconstruction], and finally use magic power to mimic it.

If you can't sense it, then there's no point in casting spells.

Thinking of this, Orlando and others looked at Abel together. The other party was obviously also a formal wizard. How did he cast lightning magic?

Abel was quite proud and had no intention of explaining. This was the most important secret of their school!

But soon he heard Lin En speaking beside him.

"There are many ways to create lightning... such as manipulating the magnetic field to create electric current, using temperature difference to generate electricity, biomass energy, solar energy..."

Lynn said a lot of things casually, while staring at Abel's expression, trying to figure out which method the other party was using.

However, the expression on Ebel's face became more and more confused, as if he was dizzy by this series of nouns.

In his eyes, lightning is an extremely powerful and mysterious existence. After hearing what Lin En said, it seems that anything can be used to cast lightning magic.

Abel didn't believe it at all. If it was that easy, they wouldn't have to risk their lives to collect and store lightning during thunderstorms.

He even began to suspect that these people might be acting out a show in order to extract the secrets of thunder magic from him.

Especially after Lin En's explanation of the principles of thunder and lightning, Abel had deep doubts. You know, even Lord Anthony couldn't figure out the essence of thunder magic.

"Mr. Lin, you just said that these magnets have natural magnetic fields. Doesn't that mean that these strange minerals can be used to generate electric current?" Abel said half-doubtfully.

"Good!" Lin En nodded, and then asked Orlando and others to bring two magnets cut into arc shapes, and adjusted them so that the positive and negative poles were opposite each other.

He picked up a block of silver, used magic to dissolve it into thin silver wires, and then rolled them into coils. He then fixed them in the center of two arc-shaped magnets, and finally connected them to the power system of the internal combustion engine.

"Turn it up now, Orlando, just one-tenth of the power will do!" Lynn said.

Orlando, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly started the internal combustion engine. The coil made of silver wire slowly began to rotate, and the speed was getting faster and faster...

Everyone present was staring at the strange instrument in front of them.

"Dean Lin, where is the electricity? Where is the electricity?" Lydia asked curiously.

"It's in these silver coils!" Lynn said as he leaned over and blew a breath, and the dust accumulated on the table immediately flew towards the rotating magnetic coils.

A series of crackling sounds immediately came from outside the rotating magnetic coil.

It was a sight they had never seen before. The violent lightning seemed to be bound around the magnetic coil. The azure arcs kept leaping and striking the fine dust... Just as Lin En had said before, he created electricity!

"This is impossible!" Ebel's face was full of disbelief. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, wanting to confirm whether the scene in front of him was some kind of visual illusion.

This sudden action caught everyone off guard. Lin En had no time to stop it. Abel's fingers had already reached into the two arc-shaped magnets. Before they could fully touch the rotating magnetic coils, the flashing electric arc had already hit them.

The powerful electric current instantly penetrated his body. Abel's muscles were shaking violently. Before he fell into a coma, only one thought remained in his mind.

Yes, that’s the feeling!

It's electricity, this is the power of thunder and lightning!

Chapter 228: The Nemesis of All Thunder Magic—Faraday Cage!

The sudden electric shock to Abel startled everyone present. Orlando quickly turned off the internal combustion engine, but the magnetic coil continued to rotate.

This horrific scene was interrupted only when Lynn knocked Abel away with a weakened [Magic Shock].

"Is he dead?" Lydia asked in shock as she looked at Abel, who was lying on the ground with his hair standing up and no longer conscious.

“Probably not yet.” After checking, Lin En shook his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because he had practiced lightning magic, Abel's resistance to electric current is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Of course, if the internal combustion engine had been running at full power just now, the opponent would have been dead unless he became an insulator.

Lynn also didn't expect that Abel would be stupid enough to touch the electric current with his hands.

"Let him go down and rest. Owen, you should keep an eye on him." Lin En turned around and gave the order. It happened that the next experiment was not suitable to be disclosed.

Owen nodded and pulled Abel away with a look of disgust.

Orlando and others then looked at Lin En, asking with great curiosity how magnetism creates electric current.

They just saw the silver coil rotating continuously inside the two arc-shaped magnets. The two sides didn't even really touch each other, but lightning just appeared out of nowhere.

"This is the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction." Lin En quickly explained it to everyone.

Electromagnetic induction, also known as magnetoelectric induction, refers to the phenomenon that when a part of the conductor of a closed circuit moves in a magnetic field to cut the magnetic flux lines, current will be generated in the conductor...

The stronger the magnetic field, the faster the rotor coil rotates, and the stronger the current generated...

With the help of a magnet and silver as a conductor, this constitutes the simplest generator!

The discovery of electricity is undoubtedly great and one of the most important cornerstones of modernization.

The discovery and use of the internal combustion engine and electricity is called the Second Industrial Revolution!

However, Lin En did not want to use this to develop various electrical appliances. That was a problem that needed to be considered in the future. With magnetism and electricity, he could consider making a genuine electromagnetic railgun!

In fact, the principle of this thing is not complicated - when a conductor is electrified and placed in a magnetic field, it will move forward due to the magnetic field induction effect.

Continuously increase the magnetic field and electric power until the conductor flies out at an extremely fast speed, that is an electromagnetic cannon!

In the past, the Federation even went so far as to create an electromagnetic cannon that traveled 20 times the speed of sound. It could be said that it had taken the stone-throwing skill that humans had developed since ancient times to another level...

It was also the magic that he had replicated using the [True Mirror Image], which possessed a power that was almost as powerful as a legendary spell!

If this thing can be developed, it will definitely be the strongest trump card of the Yieta School. It may not be enough to deal with real legendary wizards, but it is enough to trick some great wizards or cardinals!

Although he can ask the parliament for help now that he is in trouble, Lin En will not put all his hopes on others.

……

Abel was unconscious for a whole day before he woke up from the bed. His sore muscles were still trembling slightly, which reminded him that everything he had seen before was not a dream or an illusion.

This time, without waiting for Owen to speak, Abel took the initiative to propose the idea of ​​meeting Lynn.

"Mr. Lin, regarding what you said before about exchanging experiences and cooperation on thunder magic, I need to go back and consult Master Anthony before I can make a decision. If nothing unexpected happens, he should meet with you." Ebel said solemnly, paused, and added again.

"You can send someone to accompany me. It would be even better if you can go there in person."

Abel invited them very sincerely. He felt that it would be difficult to convince his colleagues in the school even if he talked a lot just by himself.

"How can this be possible? What if it's a trap?" Lord and others quickly rejected the idea, saying it was too dangerous.

"You make sense... a strange wizard's sudden visit might cause some hostility." Lin En nodded, and then suddenly laughed. "So why don't you go in my place, Lord!"

His spell was placed on the ring in Lord's hand, so naturally he had to let the other party do it for him.

"Ah?!" Loud was completely stunned, and he looked at Lin En stutteringly. "This, this, this..."

Isn't this a bad idea? Going alone to the headquarters of another wizard school and facing a great wizard, even if it was just to negotiate, Loud couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Abel couldn't help but frown. Although letting an ordinary person who couldn't use magic to follow him could reduce some criticism, it wouldn't have any effect.

"I will prepare a gift, and I believe it should be able to prove what you said." Lynn said.

"What gift? Could it be the alchemical instrument that can generate electric current?" Abel asked expectantly.

"No, it's something else!" Lynn shook his head and continued.

"The nemesis of all thunder magic - Faraday cage!"

……

[Hadratta] In a hidden secret room in the royal capital, an old man with white hair and beard stood in the center with a solemn expression. As his thoughts surged, powerful and violent electric currents were drawn from the lightning-conducting stones placed around him and surged towards his body.

The lightning trees formed by the lightning piercing the air continued to appear in the secret room, and the arcs spread rapidly like spider webs. Soon, the only sound in the ears was the continuous exploding thunder...

The temperature rose rapidly, and the entire secret room almost became a small thunderstorm area.

The terrifying thunder continuously struck the protective magic barrier, and then the electric current that was cut off layer by layer poured into Anthony's body, constantly wandering around him.

The severe numbness and pain made Anthony's face paler and paler, his muscles gradually began to twitch, and electric arcs flashed faintly on the surface of his body.

About half an hour later, Anthony, who had held on to his limit, cast a spell to gradually calm the violent thunderstorm, and then he couldn't help but sigh.

Unfortunately, it’s still a little bit off…

Although the thunder power collected during the last storm significantly improved his mastery of thunder magic, it was far from enough.

Anthony's ambition is naturally not limited to this. What he really wants is to crack the mystery of thunder magic!

Instead of using the dumbest and most dangerous method like now, to force the electric current into the body, and use another method to let the magic power record and reproduce the power of thunder...

This was particularly crucial. One had to know that the cardinal stationed in the kingdom was a six-ring clergyman. His only chance of defeating him was this powerful and unique lightning magic. Otherwise, his plan for a magic kingdom would be nothing more than a castle in the air...
