The laboratory's protection system was successfully activated.
This protective system established in the age of Starfire shows how consummate magic skills the Gondor Empire possessed in that era of the heyday of human civilization. A thousand years of weathering has failed, but in this hidden rebellious fortress, the ancient defense system still maintains the most basic functions.
"Amazing..." Although Amber didn't know anything about the things in the laboratory, she couldn't help but marvel after hearing the synthetic voice that answered automatically, "What was that just now? Puppet? Tower spirit? It's the mages in the north. The kind of artificial mind that was created?"
While manipulating the complex magic runes on the circular platform, Kamel replied casually: "Golems and tower spirits? Those are just trivial skills... We used to be able to create a mental core that is almost human, and they can be like human beings. Thinking in the same way, the iron soldiers loaded with mental cores and our magister corps are regarded as the two most powerful arms on the mainland, while the golems and tower spirits of the northern barbarians... are huge in size, slow in thinking, and full of loopholes in the logic system. It's leftovers."
"It's a pity that when the tide of magic came, the over-sophisticated mental core was the first batch of equipment to fail, and the Iron Man Corps turned into a pile of scrap metal in the arsenal." Gao Wen shook his head, "The only thing we were lucky at that time was At least those iron men were directly scrapped, not out of control or the situation would have been worse."
Hearing Gao Wen's words, Kamel could only let out a long sigh.
While speaking, the ancient magister finally completed the preparations for the test.
On the round table in the center of the laboratory, a set of devices based on Cecil's rune technology was placed on the table. It has a set of general-purpose honeycomb magic nets. Six honeycomb units are arranged to form the energy supply part of the entire device. They are placed in the center of the table, and a special large rune substrate is connected to the lower edge of the honeycomb unit. It is the inverter array unit designed by Pittman.
The output end of the inverter array is connected to a set of rune trigger devices. The rune trigger is connected to a blank substrate made of copper. There are grooves left on the blank substrate, which can just fit the holy light substrate into it.
The whole test device is so simple, all the structures are clear at a glance, and the mechanism is also clear.
"Using an inverter array to recharge the Holy Light Rune itself is not a complicated process. Our first test purpose is to verify whether this process can be realized, and whether it will incur the "divine punishment" of the God of Holy Light in this process. , " Kamel floated in front of the test bench, explaining the purpose of this test to everyone on the scene, "The laboratory is equipped with a perfect divine power defense system, which can guarantee that even if the God of Holy Light sends divine punishment, it will be defended The protection level of the system filtering out it is very high, and according to the actual test that year, even if the flesh and blood of the giant deer Amorn broke out out of control outside the laboratory, it would not affect the safety inside the barrier."
The reason why the researchers of Gondor were able to conduct various researches on the power of the gods was because of this defense system. Otherwise, even if the giant deer Amorn had fallen, this group of mortals would study how to slice the gods next to the corpses of the gods. It is also enough for them to die a thousand or eight hundred times.
The fact that all members of the rebellious team survived back then proved the reliability of this defense system.
"This level of protection is definitely enough," Gao Wen nodded, "That is to say, after we activate the inverter array, we can judge whether the device is in danger of causing God's punishment according to whether the laboratory is attacked or not." ?”
"Exactly." Kamel nodded slightly.
Gao Wen thought for a while, and then asked a new question: "If this device is successfully activated and does not cause divine punishment, how can we be sure whether the structure of the device itself successfully avoided divine punishment, or it helped the user avoid their own punishment?" Mind Seal?"
God's punishment and spiritual seal, these two factors are the two shackles that affect the use of the power of gods by mortals.
Although Gao Wen is not a researcher, he is very aware of the importance of the word "rigority" in the experimental project. The question he raised is to verify the effects of the above two factors in the experimental process as rigorously as possible. The role played If this cannot be confirmed, then the Holy Light Rune technology will undoubtedly leave a huge hidden danger.
"... I must say, you really have the heart of a researcher," Kamel couldn't help admiring, and then said, "Don't worry, we have already thought of this. We set a A linkage device 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, there will be Two holy light substrates were activated at the same time: one was directly activated by the tester's own magic power, which we called sample No. 1, and the other was indirectly activated by the magic net and inverter array, which we called sample No. 2. Through the activation of the two samples, we can determine at which link the tester's mind stamp appears in the whole process, and whether its existence will affect the operation of the inverter array. Of course, in order to realize this process, the tester must He is an extraordinary person with magical talent."
Gao Wen was completely convinced by Kamel's design. This is indeed a professional researcher. The problems he can think of himself have already been thought of by professional researchers.
The key point of the process designed by Kamel is to confirm whether the tester's mind stamp remains valid throughout the process through "Sample No. 1". Since the mind stamp is an inherent attribute of the tester, as long as The No. 1 sample was affected by the mind stamp, so it can be confirmed that the "steel" always exists, and the tester did not avoid his own mind stamp because of the "Magic Net-Inverter Array" structure of the device.
After checking the device, Kamel stepped aside, while a young researcher came to the platform.
He is the tester this time.
Gawain looked at this young man in his twenties, and saw him standing calmly in front of the platform, and put his hand on the special rune trigger. Before the other party started, Gawain suddenly spoke: "May I have your name?"
"Korn," the young researcher calmly faced Gawain's gaze, his breathing was a little short, but he still tried his best to maintain his composure, "My name is Kernbell, my lord."
Gao Wen felt that the name was very familiar, and after a little thought, he found the corresponding information from the depths of his memory: "Korn... are you the researcher who discovered the usage of mithril in the arcane transfer technology?"
"It's my honor that you remember me!" The young researcher said a little excitedly, "I... I just discovered this idea, the coating was made by our whole team..."
"Your contribution is great, so you don't need to be modest," Gao Wen interrupted the young researcher, then glanced at the entire device on the test bench, and said with a serious expression, "You know the nature of this experiment, right?"
"Yes."
"Do you have faith?"
The young researcher lowered his head: "I am a shallow believer in the goddess of magic, my lord."
"When you press the button, you may face divine punishment, do you know that?"
"I know," the young researcher, Cohen, a third-level arcanist, replied frankly, "Pressing the button is an act of disobedience to the God of Holy Light. The last person who did this was burned to death by the Holy Light, but I believe The defense system here will work."
Kamel floated in front of Gawain: "All the testers participated voluntarily, my lord, please rest assured about that."
"I know," Gawain nodded slightly, then exhaled lightly, and looked at the young man standing in front of the experiment table, "Kornbell, you can make a request and I will agree to you personally."
The atmosphere in the laboratory became solemn. Even Amber, who could smile at any time, looked at the young man in front of the laboratory table with a trace of respect, while the researcher Cohen, who was the focus of everyone's attention, fell silent after that. Two seconds later, he looked at Gao Wen seriously: "My lord, the place where I come from the capital has been blocked. If I succeed, I hope you can bring my family here, and if I fail , I hope to send back a sentence: Kornbell, the merchant's child, fell on the road to the pursuit of magical truth."
After saying this, the young researcher nodded vigorously to his colleagues standing aside and Kamel, who is the project leader, and then injected magic power into the rune trigger without hesitation, and pressed the trigger hard. Iron buttons.
All eyes hit the platform in the center of the laboratory in an instant.
The honeycomb magic net is filled with a faint blue-white glow, and the inverter array unit connected to the magic net also becomes bright at the same time, all the magic lines and runes are activated, and the pure magic energy is transformed and injected Into the holy light rune as a sample, and at the same time, the holy light substrate directly connected to the rune trigger also became bright after Cohen's magic power injection.
All of this actually happened in a very short period of time, but under Gao Wen's watchful eyes, it seemed as if a century had passed.
Finally, a clear and holy radiance appeared above the No. 2 holy light substrate connected to the inverter array, while the substrate directly connected to the rune trigger flickered briefly and then went out.
The holy light rune substrate was successfully activated under the energy supply of the inverter array.
The tester's mind stamp remains throughout the process.
Cohen was still standing in front of the laboratory table. Thick beads of sweat appeared on his face, his eyes were wide open due to nervousness, his breathing was short of breath, and his fingers trembled slightly, but he did stand there intact.
Kamel immediately called the laboratory's response agency: "Protective system, report whether you have been impacted by the gods!"
"During the self-inspection of the protection system... no signs of attack were found, and the protection system is fully charged."
Kamel maintained the posture of floating in mid-air, and turned around suddenly after more than ten seconds, and looked at Gao Wen excitedly: "There is no divine punishment! Lord, we succeeded! The magic net-inversion array structure can be avoided God's punishment! And it is not affected by the spiritual seal!"
Amber blinked. With her comprehension and knowledge, she still didn't understand the mechanism of the whole experiment until now, but she still realized the fact that the "experiment was successful". She stared blankly at Gao Wen : "This is a success? So... we 'stolen' the Holy Light from the God of Holy Light?"
"No, we just brought it here." Gawain looked at the half-elf lady with a smile on his face, then walked towards the test bench, and nodded solemnly to Cohen, "I will remember my promise and I will take it Your family brought Cecil back safely."
At this moment, Rebecca's voice suddenly came from behind Gawain: "My lord ancestor, we actually have another test."
"There is another test?" Gawain turned his head in surprise, but saw Rebecca directing the technicians to place some new devices on the test bench, "What did you design?"
"Random choice." Rebecca replied seriously.
