The laboratory's protection system was successfully activated.
This protection system established in the Age of Spark shows the pinnacle of magic skills possessed by the Empire of Gondor at that time when human civilization was at its peak—even though most of the people in the disobedient fortress outside The devices have all failed due to the erosion of the magic tide and the weathering of a thousand years, but in this hidden fortress of rebellion, the ancient protection system still maintains its minimum function.
"That's awesome..." Although Amber didn't know anything about the things in the laboratory, she couldn't help but exclaimed after hearing the automatically answering synthesized voice, "What was that just now? A golem?" Tower spirit? Is it the kind of artificial mind created by the mages in the north?"
Kamail replied casually while manipulating the complex magic runes on the circular platform: "The golem and the tower. Spirit? That's just a rudimentary skill... We were once able to create nearly human mental cores that could think like humans. The iron soldiers and our magister corps carrying the mental cores were regarded as the most powerful on the continent. The two types of soldiers, and the northern barbarian demon puppets and tower spirits... are huge in size, slow in thinking, and full of flaws in the logic system. They are simply defective products."
"It's a pity that when the demonic tide came, too. The sophisticated mental core was the first batch of equipment to fail. The Iron Man Corps was turned into a pile of scrap metal in the arsenal." Gawain shook his head, "The only thing we were lucky about at that time was that at least those Iron Man were directly scrapped instead of being scrapped. Out of control - otherwise the situation will be worse."
Hearing Gawain's words, Kamel could only sigh.
While speaking, the ancient mage finally completed the preparations for the test.
On the round table in the center of the laboratory, a device based on Cecil's rune technology was placed on the table. It has a set of universal honeycomb magic net. Six honeycomb units are arranged as the energy supply part of the entire device and are placed in the center of the table. A special large rune base plate is connected to the lower edge of the honeycomb unit - —That is the inverter array unit designed by Pitman.
The output end of the inverter array is connected to a set of rune trigger devices. The rune trigger is connected to a copper blank substrate. There are grooves on the blank substrate, which can just fit the Holy Light substrate. embedded in it.
The entire test device is so simple, all structures are clear at a glance, and the mechanism is also clear.
“The process of using the inversion array to charge the Holy Light runes is not complicated. Our first test purpose is to verify whether this process can be achieved and whether the Holy Light will be incurred in the process. God's 'divine punishment'," Kamel floated in front of the experimental table, explaining the purpose of this test to everyone present, "The laboratory is equipped with a complete divine defense system to ensure that even if the God of Holy Light descends, Divine Punishment will also be filtered out by the defense system - its protection level is very high. According to the actual test that year, even if the flesh and blood of the giant deer Amorn breaks out of control outside the laboratory, it will not affect the barrier.security within. ”
The reason why Gondor researchers at that time were able to conduct various studies on the power of gods relied on this layer of defense system - otherwise, even if the giant deer Amorn had fallen, this group of It would be enough for mortals to study how to slice the gods next to them
The fact that all members of the disobedient group survived proved the reliability of this defense system. < /p>
“This level of protection is definitely enough,” Gawain nodded, “That is to say, after we activate the inverter array, we can judge whether the device is safe or not based on whether the laboratory has been attacked. Is there a risk of divine punishment? "
"Exactly. " Kamel nodded slightly.
Gawain thought for a moment, and then raised a new question: "If this device starts successfully and does not cause divine punishment, how can we be sure that it is the device itself? Did the structure successfully avoid divine punishment, or did it help users avoid their own spiritual seals? ”
Divine Punishment and Soul Seal, these two factors are the two shackles that affect mortals’ ability to use the power of gods.
Although Gawain is not a researcher, he knows very well The importance of the three words "rigor" in experimental projects. The question he raised was to verify the role of the above two factors in the experimental process as rigorously as possible - if this cannot be confirmed, then Saint There is no doubt that light rune technology will leave huge hidden dangers.
"...I must say that you really have a researcher's heart," Kamel couldn't help but admire, and then continued. Then he said, "Don't worry, we have already thought of this - we have set up a linkage device on the rune trigger that can transmit magic power. This linkage device is connected to another Holy Light substrate, and it is directly connected. The tester needs to inject his own magic power into the rune trigger and activate the device. In this way, when the rune trigger is closed, two holy light substrates are activated at the same time: one is directly activated by the tester's own magic power, which we call It is Sample No. 1, one is indirectly activated by the Magic Network and the Inverter Array, we call it Sample No. 2. By observing the activation conditions of these two samples, we can determine whether the tester's spiritual seal appears during the entire process. In which link, and whether its existence will affect the operation of the inverter array. Of course, in order to realize this process, the tester must be an extraordinary person with magical talent. ”
Gawain is sincerely convinced by Kamel’s design - he is indeed a professional researcher, and the problems he can think of have already been thought of by professional researchers.
The key point of this process designed by Kamel is to use "Sample No. 1" to confirm whether the tester's soul seal remains effective throughout the process, because the soul seal is the inherent attribute of the tester itself , so as long as Sample No. 1 is affected by the soul seal, it can be determined that the "steel seal" will always exist, and the tester has not avoided his own soul seal because of the "Magic Network-Inverter Array" structure of the device.
After checking the device, Kamel stepped aside, and a young researcher came to the platform.
He is the tester this time.
Gawain looked at this young man who looked to be in his twenties and saw him standing calmly in front of the platform and putting his hand on the specially made rune trigger. Before the opponent started , Gawain suddenly spoke: "What's your name?"
"Cohen," the young researcher faced Gawain's gaze calmly, his breathing was a little quick, but he still tried his best to Remaining calm, "My name is Cohen Bell, Lord."
Gawain felt that the name was very familiar, and after thinking for a moment, he found the corresponding information from the depths of his memory: "Kohen ...Are you the researcher who discovered the use of mithril in arcane transfer technology?"
"You actually remember me - this is really an honor for me!" the young researcher said with some excitement. "I...I just discovered this idea. The coating was made by our entire team..."
"Your contribution is great, no need to be modest," Gao Wen interrupted the young researcher. , then glanced at the entire device on the experimental table, and said seriously, "You know the nature of this experiment, right?"
"Yes."
"You Do you have faith?"
The young researcher lowered his head: "I am a light believer in the goddess of magic, Lord."
"When you press the button, you may face God. "Penalty, do you know this?"
"Yes," Cohen, a young researcher and a third-level arcanist, replied calmly, "Pressing the button is an act of disobedience to the God of Light. , the last person who did this was burned to death by the holy light - but I believe the protection system here will work."
Kamail floated in front of Gawain: "The testers are all voluntary. Participate, Lord, please rest assured about this."
"I know," Gawain nodded slightly, then breathed out gently and looked at the young man standing in front of the experimental table, "Cohen. "Bell, you can make a request - I promise you personally."
The atmosphere in the laboratory became solemn, and even Amber, who could smile playfully at any time, now had a trace of it. He looked respectfully at the young man in front of the experimental table, and researcher Cohen, who was the focus of everyone's attention, was silent for two seconds, and then looked at Gawain seriously: "Lord, I come from the royal capital - that The place has been sealed. If I succeed, I hope you can bring my family here, and if I fail, I hope I can send back a message: Cohen Bell, the merchant's child, is pursuing magical truth. On the road."
After saying this, the young researcher nodded vigorously to his colleagues and Kamel, who was the project leader, and then said without hesitation. Magic power was injected into the rune trigger and the iron button was pressed hard.
All eyes are onInstantly hit the platform in the center of the laboratory.
The Honeycomb Magic Network is filled with a faint blue-white glow, and the inverter array unit connected to the Magic Network also becomes bright at the same time. All the magic lines and runes are activated, pure Magical energy was transformed and injected into the Holy Light rune as a sample. At the same time, the Holy Light substrate directly connected to the rune trigger also became brighter after the injection of Cohen's magic power.
All of this actually happened in a short period of time, but under Gawain's gaze, it all seemed as long as a century.
Finally, a clear, holy light appeared above the No. 2 Holy Light Substrate connected to the inversion array, while the substrate directly connected to the rune trigger went out after a brief flash.
The holy light rune substrate was successfully activated under the power supply of the inversion array.
The tester's psychic seal remains throughout the entire process.
Cohen was still standing in front of the experimental table - there were beads of sweat on his face, his eyes were wide open due to nervousness, his breathing was rapid, and his fingers were trembling slightly, but he was standing perfectly still. There.
Kamail immediately called the laboratory's response agency: "Protection system, report whether it has been attacked by gods!"
"The protection system is self-checking... No signs of attack were found. The protective system is full of energy."
Kamael maintained his posture of floating in the air, and then suddenly turned around and looked at Gawain excitedly for more than ten seconds: "There is no divine punishment! We succeeded! The magic network-reverse array structure can avoid divine punishment!"
Amber blinked, and with her understanding and knowledge, she has not been able to do so until now. She didn't understand the mechanism of the whole experiment, but she still realized the fact that "the experiment was successful". She looked at Gawain blankly: "Is this a success? So... we changed the Holy Light from the Holy Light "Steal it" from God's hands? "
"No, we just took it," Gawain looked at the half-elf lady with a smile, then walked to the experimental table and said solemnly Nodding to Cohen, "I will remember my promise - I will bring your family back to Cecil safely."
At this moment, Rebecca's voice suddenly rose from a high pitch. After the tattoo came: "Ancestor, actually we have another test."
"There is another test?" Gawain turned his head in surprise, only to see Rebecca directing the technicians to Some new devices were placed on the experimental table, "What did you design?"
"Random selection." Rebecca answered seriously.
