"No. 2 plate, 105 gold coins!" saw Richard hold up the number plate, and the auctioneer shouted as if he had seen a savior.

Everyone was slightly stunned, and looked at the box where Richard held up the sign a little strangely, if he hadn't seen that Richard was in Prince Gro's box, he really thought that Richard was invited by the auction house to "trust". But even so, he felt that Richard was a fool, so no one showed much interest in the silver ring.

So with the auctioneer's three bids, Richard easily got the silver ring.

Having paid the money and taking the ring from the hands of the auction house guys, Richard took a closer look. Similar to what the auctioneer said, there is no decoration on the ring, and both the outer and inner rings are extremely smooth. It's true that the material is not iron, nor is it silver.

Originally, Richard guessed, it might have been something like an osmium-iridium alloy.

Osmium and iridium are the two most dense elements in nature on the modern earth, with densities of 22.59 g/cm3 and 22.56 g/cm3 respectively, that is, they are the two heaviest metals. Both metals are extremely durable and hard, resisting all acids and alkalis at standard temperatures and pressures, even aqua regia (a highly corrosive liquid with a 3:1 volume ratio of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid).

In general, osmium-iridium alloys are extremely strong and are often used to make scalpels, steel nibs, nibs for high-grade gold pens, clocks and watches, and bearings for important instruments. It is more in line with the auctioneer's description.

But now it seems that it is not the osmium-iridium alloy as speculated, and the color is slightly different. Osmium metal is grayish-blue, iridium metal is white with a hint of yellow, and although it is easy to overlook, the ring in front of it is pure silvery-white without any variegation. In addition, it is also much lighter in weight.

Richard studied it carefully, and it felt less like any known metal or alloy, but rather like a special material produced in the current world.

Richard didn't believe much about Mithril, but he did suspect that it might indeed be a metal that had something to do with Mithril's description. It may be because it is doped with an element that is unique to the current world, and it shows a special effect.

According to current world legends, Mithril is a silvery-white metal, much stronger than steel but lighter, malleable as bronze, and polished like glass. Add a little bit to any metal and it will turn it into demonic metal.

According to Richard's interpretation, this mythril is supposed to be a metal similar to a superconducting material.

Yes, metals that resemble superconducting materials.

Superconducting materials refer to materials that exhibit resistance equal to zero under certain conditions, as well as the property of repelling magnetic field lines. This material is very useful. For example, superconducting transmission lines, superconducting generators, superconducting maglev trains, etc.

On the modern Earth, dozens of elements and thousands of compounds have been discovered that can become superconductors. However, these superconducting materials generally require extremely low temperatures to function, such as more than minus 260 degrees Celsius and more than minus 270 degrees Celsius, which are close to absolute zero. Materials that can achieve superconductivity above the temperature of liquid nitrogen (77 K, -196.15 °C) are already called high-temperature superconducting materials.

So is there a material that can achieve superconductivity at room temperature?

Perhaps exists, plays a role that will be unthinkable, but it has not yet been discovered on the modern earth.

The material of the current world of Mithril and the ring in his hand may be similar to the metal of the superconducting material at room temperature. The reason why they are similar is that they are most likely superconducting not electricity and magnetism, but mana, or energy elements.

This is the only way to explain the term demonic metal.

If this conjecture holds, then it can help solve a big problem.

Richard's eyes flashed.

All along, the demonization props he made with white jade tablets were disposable. After the white jade piece is carved with a magic pattern, once the mana or energy element is injected and the spell is successfully released, the white jade piece will definitely explode.

Analyzing the reason, he felt that it was very likely that the material of white jade was not up to par, and there was some "resistance" inside, so that it could not withstand too high energy, and could only be used as a one-time consumable, unable to solidify the magic effect of the magic pattern.

And if you find the right material, it is possible to make the magic pattern permanently take effect, and successfully solidify the effect of the spell. For example, the material of the Space Iron Ring, that's it. The material of the Space Iron Ring looks like it is made of black iron, but in fact it is not, because it is doped with an unknown substance, which can activate the magic pattern without damage, which can be called superconducting magic.

Then the silver-white ring obtained from the current auction may have superconducting magic.

Wait!

Suddenly Richard thought of something, and put the silver ring on his left index finger, and then compared it with the spatial iron ring on his right index finger.

Richard's eyebrows were raised.

I saw that the shape, size, outer diameter and inner diameter of the two rings were exactly the same.

"So...... Could this silver-white ring and the space ring be of the same origin?" Richard muttered to himself, "It's just that the silver-white ring obviously doesn't have a magic pattern depicted, and can only be regarded as a half-finished product." The space ring depicts the magic pattern, has the function of storing objects, and belongs to the finished product.

So...... Is it really possible to transform this silver-white ring and depict magic patterns on it according to needs to achieve a certain function?

It should be a little difficult to completely copy a space ring to make a new space ring. Because it is still unclear that there are some problems in the production of space, it is difficult to guarantee success. Moreover, the precision required by the magic pattern is too high, and the magic pattern is too complex and easy to fail.

But to put it simply, it should be possible to fix a certain attack and auxiliary spell pattern on it, and use it to permanently release spells instantaneously. But what kind of spell to portray needs to be thought about. The area of transferring the magic pattern from the white jade piece to the ring is very small, and the magic pattern must be re-planned.

At the moment, all this is just speculation so far, and some testing is needed......"

Richard thought about the problem seriously, and the auctioneer on the wooden platform outside the box had already announced that the auction was officially over, and everyone began to leave, except for Richard, Gro, and Pandora.

Richard was continuing to think about the small details, Gro was waiting for the guards he sent out to get money to ransom him, Pandora...... Keep sleeping.

......

One minute, two minutes, three minutes......

In the blink of an eye, half a ring passed, Richard raised his head, having cleared some thoughts, and Gro moved his ass in his seat, waiting very uncomfortably.

At that moment, the door to the box was squeaked open, and the guards that Gro had sent out to ask for money returned.

Gro turned his head to look at the guards and asked quickly, "How's it going?"

"Well, Your Royal Highness the Prince, you have already brought it and just handed it over to the people of the auction house. ”

"That ......"

"Squeak", the door of the box was opened again, and the steward of the auction house who had just stood up walked in, holding a small wooden box in his hand, respectfully handed it to Gro, and said loudly, "His Royal Highness Prince Gro, now this exemption voucher is yours." ”

"Whew......" Gro's breathing immediately became a little short, and he took the small wooden box and opened it, and saw that it was stuffed with silk, and the silk was wrapped in a test-free certificate.

Crystal material, round, with intricate patterns on the surface and purple glow inside......

The steward of the auction house saw Gro's appearance and withdrew very rationally, while Gro picked up the exemption voucher in the box and grabbed it in his hand vigorously, as if grasping the whole world.
