Chapter 483 Magic Transformer

"I will try to make more time to come and visit, but you can find me whenever you want. Now, what is this thing that you are working on?" I asked, pointing to the dome with the black stones in it that I had been holding. "And what are these stones?"

"This is a Magic Transformer, and I am going to use them to power the mechanical suits that I have been working on. I have been working on different ideas to power them, but making a nuclear fusion reactor or a Stardrive is impossible because there are no radioactive elements in this world. There are things like Radium and Uranium, but they don't produce any Alpha Radiation. It's almost like space and stars don't even exist," Amanda explained, but I frowned at this.

"I can see the stars right now," I said and pointed out the window, but Amanda shook her head and opened another portal.

The portal opened to the open air, but it was strange. There was a line in the center of the portal that seemed to divide the white roof above.

"There is a filament about two feet back from the wall that seems to project night and day until you get within 10 feet of it, then it disappears, and all you see is the wall unless you stand where the filament would be," Amanda explained, and then closed the portal.

"What is that supposed to mean?! We are just in a bubble in the middle of nowhere with nothing around us?" I asked, and Amanda just shrugged.

"Your guess is as good as mine at this point," She said and then tapped one of the black rocks on the Magic Transformer. "I found these near the base of one of the bubble islands. They are all attached to strange purple roots that come from below," Amanda explained, and I shook my head as she opened a drawer in her bench, pulled out what looked like a purple piece of plastic, and handed it to me.

"Is this Aquashell? Or..." I asked, taking what felt very much like plastic from Amanda.

"No, this is a sample of what I thought was a root. I brought it back and found that it was just like plastic. I have stayed away from making any plastics in favor of using metal, which we have no shortage of, but then we found this recently. It took numerous attempts to even get a few samples of the stuff, but each time we cut some off, it regenerated. On top of that, unless we use a hot knife to cut it underwater, this will happen," Amanda said as she took the piece from me and snapped it in two in the corner of the table.

The Golem Goddess handed me one piece back, and I took it, but I watched as she took the other and dropped it in the water. The moment it hit the water, the entire piece started to fall apart, and within a couple seconds, there wasn't even a pink color to the water.

"Without being heat sealed, the Aquashell almost instantly disintegrates the moment water gets inside of it, so no using it to build boats. Well, that is for the original stuff from underwater. I had found a way to do it that just melts all the Aquashell and keeps it molten, then prints it in layers, or we cast it. Unfortunately, it has no flexibility, and over time in the water, my Aquashell will dissolve. Still good to keep the work clean, but no water bottles. Strangely enough, It is the hydrogen in water that breaks it down, not the water itself, so you can still store most foods in them, but even then, it is only a matter of time before they have to be replaced," Amanda said with a smile, and I looked at the piece in my hand.

"That is interesting. I never would have thought that something like this existed," I said and looked back to Amanda with a smile.

"It is amazing what the world has to offer," She said before turning back to her work. "I should probably get back to my research, but feel free to stay as long as you need. I'm sure you have more questions about what I have been doing, and I can multitask."

​ "What is wrong with the transformer?" I asked as she started to pull some tools over to herself.

"Once it gets spinning, it produces nonstop power, and I am trying to figure out how to limit the amount of power that it can put out at one time. The stones pull the magic in, but each device requires 32 stones in total, or it doesn't work. There is no science to it, and I stumbled into the idea by accident. One of the bags of stone had exactly 32 in it, and the stones were all spinning in the back when it was returned to the surface. It took a while of testing, but this is the result of my experiments." Amanda said with a shrug.

"Do you have any ideas on how you are going to fix the problem?" I asked, and Amanda nodded.

"I have been researching some ideas, but I'm not sure if they will work. I am going to have to come up with a way to block the outflow of power or funnel it in specific directions," She said as she tinkered around with the stones, adjusting their positions slightly and murmuring quietly to herself.

"Well, you know where I am if you need help! I can't promise anything, but I'll certainly try," I said with a smile and then kissed her cheek before opening a portal to the top of the Northwall's massive wall and hopped through.

From far up here, I could just see the sun coming up from the north, so I sat down on the edge of the wall. After talking to Amanda, I was starting to look at the world differently. This was not the first time I had been on a work like this, but it was the second.
