Chapter 449: A more terrifying beast

Views:

Gao Wen didn't expect that Rebecca had prepared a second project for this experiment, but after hearing the words "randomly selected" from the other party, he immediately vaguely guessed what the girl was thinking.

"I want to test it more accurately to see how the mind stamp works," Rebecca explained her thinking, and pointed to the devices that the researchers are installing on the test bench, "This is a modified The rune trigger has a continuously rotating disc with teeth. When the button is pressed, the disc will make contact with a small platform, and only when the teeth on the disc turn to the proper position, the teeth The correct magic circuit will be established between the platform and the entire device. In other words, the person who presses the button has no idea what the result will be after his operation. His mental choice is limited to whether to press the button, not to press the button. Involves whether the system is activated... ”

Amber opened her mouth wide and looked at Rebecca in astonishment. She finally understood something, so she couldn't help exclaiming: "You guys who do research... how do you grow your brains?!"

Gao Wen was also attracted by the process designed by Rebecca. The process itself was not beyond his imagination, but the idea of the roe deer girl was as surprising as ever. He rubbed his chin and said while thinking: "The rotating The locking disc is actually a pseudo-random system, but the focus of this system is not on randomness, but on the tester... "

"Yes, it's because the tester 'doesn't know the result'," Rebecca nodded, "I want to know, when the tester doesn't know whether he will disobey the gods, is the mind stamp still effective, or just When the tester has doubts about his beliefs about his behavior, it will cause a stamp... "

Pittman, who had never spoken, was also aroused by this exquisite "random selection" experiment at this moment. This old druid, who had never been a model, also showed the researcher's expression of interest and serious anticipation. While pinching the beard on his chin, he walked around the experimental table and nodded as he turned: "Smart... clever... In this way, there should only be three different results. The first is the holy The optical substrate can be activated, but the substrate directly provided by the tester will not be activated. The second type is that both substrates are activated, and the third type is that both substrates are not activated, respectively corresponding to the mind stamp under random selection. There are three situations in which it takes effect, the mind seal fails, and the stuck teeth are not connected."

Amber thought for a while, and a question came up: "Then what if the substrate directly powered by the tester is activated, but the substrate connected to the inverter array is not activated?"

The laboratory suddenly fell silent, and several eyes fell on Amber at the same time, causing the half-elf lady to shrink her neck subconsciously. Pittman stroked his beard fiercely, and said after a long silence: "That means We have all been tricked by the God of Light!"

"Let's get started." Gawain took a long breath, nodded slightly to Cohen Bell in front of the experiment table, "make a random selection."

The young researcher solemnly bowed slightly, then adjusted his breathing, and turned to the direction of the experimental table.

All irrelevant personnel stepped aside and paid close attention to the situation on the test bench, while Cohen Bell put his finger on the modified large "rune trigger" that looked like a rectangular iron box, and he silently He mentally counted a few beats, then poured magic into the brass button and pressed it hard.

There was a clicking sound from the "Random Selection" device, and after a while, the two rune substrates on the test bench did not respond.

Kamel stepped forward to check the device, and then announced the result: "First test, invalid connection, start the second test."

Cohen Bell charged the rune trigger with magic again, and pressed the button.

During a suffocating moment of waiting, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the two rune substrates on the test bench lit up simultaneously, generating a stable holy light!

There were several breathing sounds in the laboratory, and Kamel took a step forward. After confirming that the state of the experimental device was normal, the ancient magister announced the result in a slightly trembling voice: "The second test, The samples are all lit!"

Gawain suppressed his excitement, and ordered in as calm a tone as possible: "Perform the third test."

"... the third test, the samples are all bright!"

"...fourth test, invalid connection..."

"...the fifth test, all the samples are lit!!"

The young mage Cohen activated the rune trigger in front of him time and time again, his eyes sparkled, as if immersed in some inexplicable excitement, until the two rune substrates used for testing fell into a waste energy overload state, he Only stopped under Kamel's order.

There was silence in the laboratory, only the low hum of various magic devices and laboratory defense systems echoed in the frozen air. Kamel quietly floated in front of the laboratory table, watching the After a long time, the two rune substrates dimmed. When he raised his head, the two points of light embedded in the arcane clouds flickered and slowly swept across the room.

He seemed to have seen what it used to be like here. He saw the emblem of the Gondor Empire hanging on the wall, saw the energy conduits in the laboratory flickering up and down, and saw colleagues wearing empire magician robes standing on the test benches. In front of them, those people turned their heads, smiling and congratulating them.

Kamel raised his hands, and his voice echoed throughout the laboratory: "Rebels, rejoice! We have opened another door!"

Cheers really came from all directions, and the old scene in Kamel's eyes suddenly collapsed. He saw that the familiar laboratory was laid with a honeycomb-like modern magic net, and standing around were people in white clothes. The blurred faces of the researchers in short robes disappeared from his sight, and the new faces became more and more clear in his sight.

Kamel looked at Gawain: "Sorry, lord, I lost my composure."

"It's okay, this is a moment worthy of a gaffe," Gao Wen did not hesitate to praise himself, he looked at every researcher here approvingly, "Everyone of you is a good person, we should celebrate, we just broke through The authority of God! We have proved with facts that even the so-called 'magic' can be explained and controlled with logic and technology!"

Wright stood aside quietly, watching the most intelligent group of people on this land complete this experiment. There was no thrilling scene, no crowds of people. There were only a dozen researchers and a few witnesses. And the two small groups of holy light on the test bench, but in this seemingly ordinary two hours, the significance of what happened here is no less than any war that humans have waged in the name of God in the past history !

This is indeed a war, without swords or bloody winds, but it means the first successful resistance of mortals against gods.

"Now we can confirm that the Mind Seal is affected by 'self-awareness'," Kamel said after leaving the experimental platform and coming to Gao Wen. As a result, even though he knew that his actions might be 'disobedience', the mind stamp did not take effect; at the same time, we also proved through the first experiment that even if the mind stamp takes effect, the magic device operating on purely mechanical principles can not Affected by it, although the mind is involved in the process of 'pulling the trigger', and it did trigger the steel seal, the effect of the steel seal can be isolated by technical means... "

At this moment, Pittman came over, the little old man was still stroking his thinning beard, with a thoughtful look on his face: "Actually, what I am most curious about is another point: the spiritual stamp should be used to test However, after the tester injects magic power into the rune substrate, why does the magic power that has been separated from the tester dissipate out of thin air? Could it be that the magic power that has been separated from the human body still has 'thoughts'? They feel that they should not It existed, so it disintegrated on its own initiative?"

Kamel listened to Pittman's words, and couldn't help but also nodded slightly: This is indeed a confusing phenomenon. It is understandable that the tester himself cannot release the divine spell due to the influence of the mind stamp, but the tester uses the experimental device When releasing a divine spell, the magic power needs to enter another system to run outside the body. In other words, when using the experimental device, the "magic power running" is a fact that has already happened. This fact that has happened...but because of the tester's own The mind stamp disappeared out of thin air, why

Looking at Kamel and Pittman who were confused and thinking, Gawain's mind was running fast. This was the first time he felt that his brain power could not keep up with the phenomenon of the spiritual stamp when facing the local knowledge of this world. It really reminded him of the observer effect, because the feature of "the established fact that has already happened is rewritten by the observer" made him unable to help but think so, but the effect of the mind stamp is similar to the one he knows The "observer effect" is not exactly the same. It not only occurs in the macroscopic world, but also reflects a higher idealism: the tester's cognition of his own behavior is actually the first condition to determine whether the phenomenon occurs!

This world... really has too many incredible places.

And the difference between the two worlds is more than that: on earth, everything related to quantum theory caused violent turmoil in the scientific community at the beginning of its appearance, and researchers were all tortured by this horrible phenomenon. in this world…

Kamel and Pittman were just confused by this phenomenon, and their mentality didn't seem to be affected at all.

The reason is simple: in the field of magic, there are too many things that go against common sense. This world has not yet established the rock-solid "Magic Building", and researchers still don't know the horror of the complete subversion of the Three Views...

Gawain looked away from the two researchers, and sighed slightly in his heart: Perhaps, another beast was released by him, and this beast...maybe more terrifying than "supernatural power to mortals"...

His thoughts gradually diffused, from the magic power that seems to be self-dissipating due to the influence of the observer, to the mind stamp that seems to be a thought lock, from the essence of gods to the connection between humans and gods, his thoughts became more and more relaxed. far, until a voice suddenly sounded in his mind:

"...hope you are... ready to face..."

Gawain woke up with a start, he raised his head suddenly, and looked in the direction of the French windows of the laboratory.

His gaze crossed the energy barrier of the disobedient fortress, the chaos and darkness in the Shadow Realm, and the rubble and debris floating in mid-air, and fixed on the corpse of the giant deer Amorn.

(It’s time to push the book again! The title of the book is "Drink This Bowl of Meng Po Soup", and I copied the introduction directly:

Ye Bei is a Mr. Yin and Yang, the kind without a business license.

Relying on the innate mysterious jade pendant, she cooks a bowl of Mengpo soup and gives psychological counseling (physics) to all kinds of ghosts and ghosts.

Due to professional reasons, he often frantically explored on the edge of life and death, until one day, Ye Bei found that he could not die

Let me tell you, the supernatural looks really exciting, especially when you read it alone. Although the number of words is still very small, it looks like it has great potential.

Anyway, the death of the grandma is regarded as a supernatural phenomenon. )
