Mountain Sitting Immortal

He chose those values to aim for because 100 million volts for the potential difference and 30 thousand amperes for the current are the specifications for the power of lightning.

These values can increase by 10 times or more, so they are just the minimum values he has to achieve if he wants to be able to match the power of lightning.

His current power is 5,500 units. It is impressive for someone at the second mortal coil, but he is still too weak to create something that can match the power of heavenly lightning.

Even if he managed to achieve it, there was no way he was going to be able to control it. So he decided to be more realistic about what he wanted.

Instead of prioritizing how much voltage and current that the armament produced, he chose to prioritize making the armament work in sync with the lightning mark in his mind.

The lightning mark in his mind is the main source of lightning for him. It is also the only way for him to control lightning, so it has to be prioritized above all else.

After all, the prioritization of the lightning mark and its synchronization with the armament is essentially the core of fusing the Divine Lightning Armament technique with the Everlasting Wood Index.

Besides, he recognized that no matter how much power of lightning that he can produce, it is no match for the power of lightning that nature can produce. So he hoped to harness the power of natural lightning with his armament instead of making his armament do all the heavy lifting.

However, he did make the armament do a lot of heavy lifting. He made sure of that in terms of its efficiency and natural output.

He did this because he realized that the more powerful the armament was on its own, the more power he could borrow from heaven. Since he had already paid for a lifespan of 50 years or so, he was determined to get as much electricity as his life span was worth.

Each layer of the conversion and capturing set in the armament would produce electricity with a voltage equal to the power of his internal energy and a current that is equal to the area of the layers multiplied by the effectiveness of the formation that he engraved over that flat area.

The power of his internal energy is 11 units, so the maximum amount of potential difference that each layer can produce is 11 volts. Thanks to the amplification of his Mountain Karma divine ability, this jumps to 55 volts.

Since each layer is going to be coupled with the other layers in parallel, the voltage will remain no matter how many of the layers he couples together.

A potential difference of 55 volts is sort of high, but it is nowhere near enough to be terrifying compared to natural lightning. But when coupled with the lightning mark in the formation layer, he can enhance the potential difference of the electricity he produced by at least 1,818,181.2 times or even 18,181,818.2 times.

He can achieve this factor of enhancement even without the electromagnetic induction of coils of metal in a transformer. This lack of a transformer ensured that he could pack as many electricity-producing sets in the armament as possible.

As for the current that he could borrow from natural lightning, it all depended on the power of the combined layers of the electricity-producing set. This was why he made the layers thinner, the armament bigger to pack in more layers into them, and his formation more effective.

Eventually he was able to produce armament with the potential of one day producing a voltage of 1 billion and a current of 300 thousand. It couldn't for now, because he was still too weak.

His mastery of formation was up to the task, but the rank 3 silver pine tree was only barely enough to handle such a high requirement. He had to make up for the difference by spending a lot of silver as raw material to make the engravings for the formation.

This lack of a worthy material is also one of the reasons why he can't make something like the sect ID card yet. He also lacks the right engraving tools and a powerful divine sense.

But while he couldn't do anything about making the sect ID, he was still able to make up for the deficiencies in this case and produce a rank 3 armament of the best quality.

After making all the changes that he wanted to do and stress testing the prototypes to ensure that they were up to par, he began making the final product.

The final product was a spherical object made of silver and green layers etched with silver lines. When activated, the silver lines on the alternating layers began to glow blue. This turned the armament into a fantastical object.

As he gazed at his creation, he said in awe, "It just looks like a natural wonder. And to think that I achieved this with some wood and formation engraving. It is as miraculous as the production of computer chips with sand in my past life."

The transformation of sand into computer chips and the transformation of wood into a foundation wonder are similar, but he believes that the wonder is more special or more mystical because it feels alive.

As he watched the spherical organ operate, he saw in his mana sense that it was breathing. He can even hear the sound of its breathing by listening closely.

The breathing of the man-made wonder wasn't gentle and cyclical like that of a natural wonder. The artificial wonder wasn't alternating between inhaling and exhaling like animals with lungs. Instead, it was doing both of them at the same time.

The artificial wonder was inhaling and exhaling at the same time. Each layer within it was inhaling and exhaling at its own beat, which made the overall net inflow of mana in and out of the artificial wonder chaotic.
