Chapter 229: The Nemesis of All Thunder Magic - Faraday Cage!
A sudden electric shock jolted everyone in the vicinity. Orlando swiftly shut down the internal combustion engine, yet the magnetic coil continued its relentless rotation.
It wasn't until Lynn utilized a weakened "Mana Impact" to blast Ebur away that this frightening scene ceased.
"Is he... dead?" Lydia gaped at Ebur lying motionless on the ground, his hair standing on end.
"He probably isn't." Lynn checked and shook her head, letting out a relieved sigh.
Perhaps due to practicing lightning magic, Ebur had a resistance to electrical currents far stronger than an average person's.
Of course, had the engine run at full power just now, without insulation, it would have meant certain death.
Lynn hadn't anticipated Ebur being reckless enough to directly touch the current.
"Lift him and let him rest, Owen. You'll keep an eye on him," Lynn instructed, realizing the upcoming experiment wasn't suitable for public exposure.
Owen nodded and rather disdainfully dragged Ebur away.
Only then did Orlando and the others turn their curious gazes toward Lynn, questioning how exactly the magnetic force generated the electric current.
They had only seen the silver coil continuously rotating between two arc-shaped magnets. Without any direct contact, lightning appeared out of thin air.
"This is electromagnetic induction," Lynn promptly explained to them.
Electromagnetic induction, also known as magnetic-electric induction, occurs when a portion of a closed circuit conductor moves through magnetic lines of force, inducing an electric current in the conductor...
The stronger the magnetic field, the faster the rotor coil rotates, generating a stronger electric current...
With a magnet and silver acting as conductors, it forms the simplest generator!
The discovery of electricity was undoubtedly monumental, one of the cornerstones of modernization.VIsit n0(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Connecting the internal combustion engine's discovery and the use of electricity marked the Second Industrial Revolution!
However, Lynn's intentions weren't merely to develop various electrical devices. That was a matter for future consideration. With magnetism and electricity, he could contemplate creating a genuine electromagnetic railgun!
...
In the royal city of Hadralata, within a concealed chamber, an elderly white-haired man stood solemnly in the center. As his thoughts surged, fierce and uncontrollable electric currents were drawn from the thunderstones placed around him, surging toward him.
Bolts of lightning pierced the air, forming a 'lightning tree' within the chamber. Electric arcs spread like spiderwebs, the only sound being continuous thunderous explosions...
The temperature soared rapidly, almost turning the chamber into a miniature thunderstorm zone.
The terrifying lightning continuously struck against the protective magic barrier, then flowed into Anthony's body, coursing throughout him.
The intense paralysis and pain made Anthony's complexion increasingly pallid; his muscles began twitching, and faint electric arcs shimmered on his skin.
After about half an hour, Anthony, pushing himself to the limit, gradually calmed the raging thunderstorm, finally letting out a sigh.
Unfortunately, it still wasn't enough...
Using the power gathered from the previous storm had significantly improved his mastery of thunder magic, but it was far from sufficient.
Anthony's ambition extended beyond this; what he truly desired was to unravel the mysteries of thunder magic!
Not merely using the crude and perilous method he employed nowforcing electricity into his body to record and replicate the thunder's power through a different means...
This was crucial, especially considering that the Archwizard stationed in the kingdom was a Sixth Circle practitioner. The only way to potentially overcome him was through this powerful and unique thunder-based magic. Otherwise, his Magic Kingdom plan would be no more than a castle in the air...
