"After confirming this, I drastically changed all aspects of the data of the extraordinary factor combination test. After testing a total of one thousand eight hundred and twenty-seven times, I once again generated a 'spirit'. For the third 'spirit', I After about 60 hours of research, it disappeared into thin air like the previous two 'spirits'.
After that, I continued to repeat the operation, and after testing 3,267 times, I got the fourth 'spirit'. After another 926 tests, the fifth 'spirit' was obtained, and after another 2909 tests, the sixth 'spirit' was obtained.
I improved the experimental process and greatly shortened the time for repeated experiments. Within a few months, I tested tens of thousands of times and discovered a total of thirteen 'spirits'. The one with the most "spirits" was tested more than 9,000 times before it was generated, and the one with the smallest number was only tested 121 times.
The thirteen 'spirits' have different attributes according to my research. The only thing they have in common is that they all have extremely high research value for extraordinary power, which allowed me to successfully see a world higher than the extraordinary factor.
However, the rare number and short existence time of 'spirits' has always troubled me to conduct further research, so I spent a lot of time and energy trying to find the correct way to generate 'spirits'.
To this end, I established an extremely complex equation and imported all the values that generate "spirits" into it, trying to figure out what rules the generation of "spirits" follows. After this method failed, I thought again whether some subtle factors from the outside had affected the 'spirit'. In order to block out these subtle factors, I began to conduct experiments thousands of meters underground. "
"Secret agent project, right?" Jasmine heard this, her eyes flashed and she interrupted. As the ruler of Sarin, it is naturally impossible for the construction of large-scale civil projects to be hidden from her. In fact, she is responsible for supervising most of such large-scale civil projects. As soon as Richard said that experiments were being carried out thousands of meters underground, she immediately guessed which one it was. After all, the name of this project was so weird that it was difficult to forget it.
Richard did not deny it, nodded and said: "Yes, it is the spy project. I stayed there for a long time. The purpose was to find out how the 'spirit' was generated and what the conditions were. And the reason why It’s called the Secret Detective Project because in my memory, it’s somewhat similar to another group of people’s search for the mysterious existence of ‘dark matter’.”
"Then in the end, you succeeded in achieving your goal, right?" Jasmine guessed, not feeling that there were any variables in this matter.
But he never thought about it. Richard chuckled, shook his head and said, "However... it didn't happen."
"No?"
"Yes, no." Richard's expression didn't look like he was joking. "In the spy engineering base, I tried my best to eliminate all possible influences and tried to generate 'spirits'. As a result, the four 'spirits' generated successively remained the same. There’s no rhyme or reason to it.”
"So, after putting in so much effort, the final result you got was just failure?" Jasmine gave a strange look.
"Looking at it from that time, it's almost like this." Richard spread his hands and said without any excuse.
"Then what do you mean, is there a twist later?"
"It's not a turning point, but I reflected on it." Richard said, "I must admit that the failure of the spy project was a blow to me. Not only was it a waste of time, energy and resources, but more importantly, it made me It feels like something like "spirit" really cannot be created using a fixed method. Maybe when the extraordinary power reaches a certain height, it becomes something unknown and random.
But then I thought again, maybe I was thinking about ordinary things too complicated. The 'spirit' seems to be generated by me using extraordinary factors to combine experiments, but the conditions for each generation are different. So does the emergence of 'spirit' have nothing to do with the extraordinary factors to combine experiments? "
"What do you mean by this?" Jasmine originally thought she was close to catching up with Richard's train of thought, but suddenly she found that she was left far away again.
"It's very simple. I thought about some things wrong from the beginning." Richard stretched out a finger, "As I said before, the 'spirit' has a certain intelligence in the test and belongs to a kind of life. It is life. , means it is alive, so is there such a possibility... The 'spirit' was not created by my experiments at all, it already existed, but I happened to discover it and capture it when I was conducting experiments."
"Ah?" Jasmine's eyes were confused.
"Let's put it this way." Richard thought for a while and further explained, "'Spirit' is a very special kind of extraordinary life. It has always existed around us, but for some reasons, it has no influence on us, just like the two A parallel world. And I conduct extraordinary factor combination experiments, because the high-energy reaction will break the boundaries between the two 'parallel worlds', allowing the two 'parallel worlds' to temporarily overlap at one node.
If there is no spirit in this node, it will naturally not be captured and it will look like the test failed. If there happens to be a 'spirit' at this node, I can catch it by chance and it will look like a 'spirit' has been 'generated'. The coincidence of nodes is not permanent. After a period of time, the two 'parallel worlds' will separate, and the spirit will be forcibly pulled back to another 'world', and the performance in our 'world' will disappear out of thin air. "
"So, besides our world, there is another world?" Jasmine asked with a deep frown.
"I'm not sure yet whether there really is another world. The above is just a metaphor of mine." Richard said, "But things like 'spirit', as expected, exist in a different dimension from ours." . If our world is successfully connected to the dimension where the "spirit" is located, it will become more broadly expanded. That is why the "spirit" has a series of magical extraordinary attributes - because this is likely to involve some physics. Changes in Laws.”
"Different dimensions?" Jasmine blinked and stopped talking. She found that as the conversation continued, her thoughts were stretched further and further.
Richard didn't care and continued according to his own ideas: "Actually, according to my subsequent series of research, I found that the dimensions in the area where we live, that is, the land surface, are relatively stable and are not easy to break the boundaries. On the contrary, in At high altitude, due to the influence of void energy, it is easier to generate overlapping nodes and connect with different dimensions.
In the depths of the void, long-term overlapping nodes are directly generated in many places, and many 'spirits' live near the nodes. These 'spirits' are relatively powerful, and their intelligence is not weak. Almost every one of them is no less than the 'spirit' in the Ninth Branch accident. I call them 'virtual spirits'. "
