"Record"
12, the first day of the test.
In accordance with the request of His Majesty Roland, a hazard test was carried out.
Thirty roosters were evenly placed around the experimental bench, one of which was located on the spot where the red light was directly illuminated.
The irradiation time was five minutes.
The target rooster reacted violently, ramming from side to side in the cage, while the other roosters did not respond.
There was a slight burnt smell at the scene.
After irradiation, subtle burn marks were found on the shed feathers of the target rooster. But such a weak damage is not enough to cause the feathers to break off. It should be thrown off when the target is struggling.
The owner of the feather is a little listless, but generally normal.
From this point of view, it is not as harmful as a torch.
Recorded by: Celine.
…
13, the second day of the test.
Things have changed a bit.
The target rooster began to diarrhoea and whimpered, as if suffering from an evil plague.
All other cocks are fine.
His Majesty Roland's expression seemed a little solemn (this sentence is deleted from the official record).
No new tests were conducted today.
…
On the 14th, the third day of the test.
The target rooster is dead.
After the autopsy, it was found that there was stagnant water seeping out of the target's body, blood soaking in the internal organs, and subcutaneous corruption, which is usually a symptom only one day after the animal's death.
In other words, that red light killed the chicken skin in advance while keeping the target alive
This is very interesting.
Thinking of the stories of the Temple of the Damned and the Town of Thorns, as well as the scenes in those frescoes, it seems like that.
The cursed person is tortured in a seemingly unharmed situation, and finally until the whole body festers. Although the person is alive, he sees his body die little by little. This feeling must not be very good.
I take back the foreword, it's still less lethal than a torch, but in a much weirder way.
However, His Majesty Roland has his own views.
He believed that the red light had destroyed the function of the living body to renew itself.
At the microscopic level invisible to the naked eye, the body grows and withers all the time, and a balance is formed between the two. Therefore, once the growth is stopped, a large area of necrosis will occur. The so-called curse is in essence.
Until there is more evidence to refute this claim, I agree (delete the following paragraph from the official record).
The microscope is a fascinating invention.
Moreover, the data collected from the dream world also corroborated with the observations, showing that all living organisms are constructed from constantly growing cell bodies.
The reason why light can penetrate the body is because the seemingly dense body surface is actually full of voids.
I feel like I'm reaching out to a new field.
It's a pity that I can't enter the dream world in person.
I heard that if you want to know related knowledge, you must at least reach the "high school" level, and the average study time is nine years.
Sure enough, is it too reluctant to want Phyllis, Elena and the others to speed up the process
…
On the 16th, the fifth day of the test.
All roosters, dead or alive, are buried deep in the ground.
The laboratory underwent a thorough cleaning.
After an interval of one day, the test continued.
The targets were replaced with three cows, in order to test the possibility of the ritual cube as a weapon, as well as the target body's ability to withstand red light.
…
2nd, the ninth day of the test.
The results were terrible.
The irradiation time of the three targets reached ten minutes, fifteen minutes and half an hour respectively.
But even the cows with the longest exposure survived for four days.
Regardless of the devil's ability to resist, it is impossible to stand in place and wait for a long exposure. Even if the "curse" will continue to cause damage, at least on the battlefield, the outcome is only a split second.
The scene in the temple frescoes that the subject defeats the colossus of the object with the ritual cube is really just an exaggeration.
Or... Are they particularly vulnerable to this "cursed light"
…
On the 21st, the tenth day of the test.
Range test.
After confirming that the Rubik's Cube would not spread the harm to the surrounding area, His Majesty Roland agreed to the outdoor test plan.
The test site is still selected at the bottom of the Impossible Mountains.
The conclusion is rather disappointing.
The range of red light cannot exceed 100 meters, and any obstructions can further reduce its penetration distance.
Some metallic substances can even block it completely.
Like ten golden dragons stacked on top of each other.
Even pure water has a decent blocking effect.
This conclusion all but vetoes its use in weapons.
…
On the 26th, the fifteenth day of the test.
Taking advantage of Nana's return from the front line, a healing test was conducted.
The results are between curable and incurable.
For example, if an irradiated cow only repairs the damaged parts of the skin and organs, the situation will continue to deteriorate, and the healed parts will be reinfected with the "curse".
But we took a whole small organ, removed it after treatment, transplanted it into another healthy cow, and found that it did not deteriorate further.
In other words, it is possible to remove the "curse" by reconstructing the body on a large scale.
But that had already exceeded Nana's magic power limit.
If you want to prove it, you need to use Speer Passy's channel ability, so it can only be put on hold.
To be on the safe side, it's better to define it as "incurable" for now.
By the way, Cow No. 1 finally died and survived for ten days.
…
2, the seventeenth day of the experiment.
The Ritual Rubik's Cube glowed blue again.
Coins were used up.
Fortunately, His Majesty Roland still has the same coin.
But after all, this is the raw material for making "Sunshine". It is not only rare, but also extremely difficult to collect. I feel like I am wasting the most precious resource in the world.
In addition, the magic power contained in the Rubik's Cube has bottomed out, but just like the sigil, it can be replenished at any time.
Considering its consumption, such tests should not continue.
Once the scheduled resistance items are tested, I hope to be able to disassemble it.
…
Roland let out a sigh of relief and closed the "official version of the test record".
"You're looking at it again." Nightingale leaned back on the reclining chair, chewing the dried fish in her mouth, "Isn't the result obvious, the legendary ancient treasure is just a torture tool, and it doesn't have anything other than to torture the captives. Incredible effect."
Indeed, as engraved in the frescoes, it was created for the sole purpose of torturing the enemy.
The principle is probably similar to that of ionizing radiation, while the uranium coin is that the reason for the excitation of the raw material is unknown, but the results are basically similar. The difference is that the ritual magic cube can determine the direction of the beam of high-energy particles, which is equivalent to directional irradiation.
Roland suspected that the red light was only used to indicate the target, similar to laser sights, and was not equivalent to the ray itself.
So far, the truth of the cursed temple and the mystery of the violent death of the residents of Thorns Town have all been answered.
A civilization that worships radioactive elements has used magic to create such a transformation device. It has a very single function. After filling it with high-purity radioactive materials, it can excite a small amount of high-energy particle beams. As for why it will fail after 100 meters, I am afraid it has something to do with magic.
It's just that this conclusion makes him a little empty.
It has already touched the high-level physical level. He thought that this thing would be bigger and bigger, but I am afraid that in the hands of the original owner of the relic, it is no different from torture instruments such as whips and guillotine.
This can also be regarded as the difference between civilized ethnic groups.
"Your Majesty," at this moment, the report of the personal guard Sean sounded outside the door, "Witch Taquila sent the latest test record."
"Bring it in."
According to the plan, this test will be the last time.
Different animals were irradiated for the same length of time to determine a specific ratio of body size to tolerance.
After that, all experiments on the Rubik's Cube were suspended.
After all, uranium is hard-won, and there are more important uses waiting for it.
Roland opened the notebook handed over by Sean and held up the teacup.
It's still Celine's handwriting.
3 days, the nineteenth day of the test.
The test has finally come to an end.
The results were clear, the larger the body size, the higher the tolerance to red light. But if you want to express it in a numerical formula, it will take a certain amount of time.
Also, there was a little trouble during testing.
This thing is ridiculous. I wanted to use the last remaining ingredients to test whether it was directly lethal, so I aimed at a fish in a glass tank.
After five minutes of continuous exposure, the fish was still alive, but the water was already steaming.
That is to say, it is not as lethal as boiling water. If it continues to be irradiated, the ritual cube will make the water boil first, and then scald the fish to death.
Maybe this thing can also be used to make soup
"Pfft!" Roland spit out all the tea he just drank.
"What's wrong?" Nightingale looked at him in surprise.
"I actually forgot about this..." Roland murmured. He had been thinking about all kinds of possibilities and applications, but he ignored the most basic point. The essence of ray is a kind of energy transfer. Can be used to boil water.
The history of the progress of human civilization itself is a process of boiling water in a different way.
