The Ritual of Life is much larger than the Chapter of Imbalance in terms of area.
Because of biological research, there are many places that need pastures and cultivation, and the growth of the experimental body also requires enough small consumption.
Therefore, the ritual of life is a corner of the continent that is directly cut from a dead world. At this moment, it is a giant island floating in the astral world.
In the cloudless sky of the giant island, there is a small island floating, which is the core magic tower of the life ritual and where the biochemical witch Lydia is located.
Roger is the core tower area that was taken directly by Lydia's first assistant.
As soon as he set foot here, he felt that he was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, many of which were full of malicious exploration.
The assistant felt the change in his face, and said with some surprise: "Master Charles has a very high mental strength. The sky here is actually a feeding ground, and there are many strange astral creatures. But don't worry, they are usually locked in the folding space. , only spiritual power can reveal it.”
"After folding the space, you can still bet your consciousness here, but it's a powerful existence..."
Roger was still very uneasy, so he could only quickly enter the warm white magic tower in front of him that looked very warm.
"There is no strong enough existence, and there is no point in experimenting." The assistant comforted him, "Don't worry, they usually won't escape from prison."
"Then... what if?"
"Then kill it."
The assistant showed a confident smile and patted the saber on his waist.
It was only then that Roger discovered that this self-introduction was the therapist's assistant, with a large knife that looked very heavy.
But if it's a doctor, it's normal for a knife to be good, right
In particular, the targets she has to deal with are those powerful astral creatures, exotic demons, etc., right
He nodded comfortingly, without exploring too much... or dare not.
But with such an assistant leading him through the corridors with strange specimens, his courage gradually grew stronger.
As expected of the biochemical witch's territory, any assistant looks very simple.
There is such a guide, even if the eyeballs in the jar suddenly blink, the young master is not so afraid!
To be honest, he started from investing here. He had the illusion that he had traveled from the magical world to the supernatural world.
Fortunately, Lydia's office was still bright and clean, and the artificial sunlight pouring in from the window warmed her body instantly.
If the chat with him... is not a pot of flowers.
This pot of flowers on the luxurious desk has no leaves, only a sunflower-like flower plate, on which is flashing red light "melon seeds", and then forms an emoji through bright and dark:
(￣▽￣)／
Is this the warm welcome of a flower
Roger really doubted the biochemical witch, who planted sunflowers into LED dot matrix screens, and it was a little scary when the flower plate suddenly turned towards him.
Roger sat on the chair that the assistant moved out, holding the tea he handed over, looking at the strange pink liquid... he didn't dare to drink it directly.
He asked the flower incredulously: "Ms. Lydia?"
"It's me, don't be surprised, Lord Charles, this is my improved mind projection grass."
A mature female voice of husky temptation sounded, "You just need to plant the body in your body, and a flower will bloom every three days. It communicates and chats in real-time at an unlimited distance in the same world. You can take some seeds with you if you need it. Very efficient at work!”
After finishing speaking, the emoji on the flower plate also changed to ヽ(^_–)ノ, which seems to be very proud of his invention.
Roger: ? ?
Who would dare to plant something like this on himself!
If it sucks me dry out of control, wouldn't I be a big flower pot
Thinking of the horror of Dagon's cancerous cells, Roger laughed and refused Lydia's proposal, although it was her friendly and generous way.
But just like Frankenstein persuading people to ascend mechanically, he couldn't accept the operation of planting plants in his body.
To be cautious, don't touch everything in this mage tower...
He didn't get too entangled in this mind projection grass, quickly changed the subject, and asked seriously: "Ms. Lydia, I'm here to ask for instructions this time, about the basis of our magic, the use of body structure. Analytical talent, what progress have you made now?"
"I can't believe that Lord Charles is also interested in this aspect... No, you are the genius who created the "New Arcane", and it is normal to think about these basic issues."
Lydia's voice suddenly became a little more energetic, and she liked this topic very much, "The relationship between the human body and magic is indeed the direction I have been exploring, and I also benefit from the progress of arcane equipment, there are detection With more detailed signals, I have determined the root source of the magic."
She asked the assistant to turn off the lights in the office, and through a large magic projection, a picture that was almost no different from the human cell structure on Earth was presented in front of Roger.
Most of the intelligent life in this world, such as human beings, are still carbon-based creatures. They are not as incredible as elemental life. The foundation of the body is still one cell after another.
The same goes for longevity.
It's just that their cell metabolism frequency is slower, and the professional's prolongation of lifespan has not fundamentally changed the cell structure.
Through the fusion of magic and technological means, the magicians who are at the forefront have already mastered more detailed cell structures, and a series of organelles such as cell membranes, nucleus, cytoplasm, etc., are not much different from humans on earth.
But the human body in this world does not have mitochondria, but an additional organ called the "magic nucleus" to complete the oxidation and energy supply.
"With the improvement of the accuracy of magic observation, we are now targeting the source of the magician's talent, which is this small organelle. The resonance coefficient of magic core and magic power can determine an individual's magic talent."
Lydia narrates the current exploration at the forefront of the mysteries of life.
These purely theoretical studies are not always patient to listen to, even the Queen of Eternal Night.
At this stage, the empire is more focused on research that can bring actual production value. Lydia's exploration is all about operating life rituals to make a profit, investing in areas of interest, and continuing to study the conclusions.
Because of the project of the virtual god of law, Roger invested part of the funds of the Night Guard and part of the funds invested by Terra into Lydia's research.
That's why she didn't hesitate to share top-secret knowledge with Roger.
Because, he is the father of the gold master!
Roger listened very carefully, except for the final formula that determines talent, Lydia's teaching level is easy to understand.
At first glance, she is an old oil who often gives popular science to dignitaries and dignitaries to fool more funds.
It's normal to think about it. As a doctor and a potion expert, it is easier for her to communicate with rich people. It is also completely predictable to get more funds from them and support her dreams.
Knowing that the magic core is the key to the caster's talent, Roger asked, "Can you artificially create a magic core of higher talent, or use alchemy equipment to replace it?"
"Yes, it is not difficult to modify talents through magical means, but the upper limit of modification is very high and the success rate is very low. This cannot become my regular warfare method, nor can I provide artificial powerhouses in batches." Lydia told Roger frankly. The prospects for this are not very good.
This is a project that the Queen of Eternal Night also hopes she will promote. In the end, it may be that the current technical level of the empire is not enough to directly improve a person's magical talent by modifying a person's magic core.
Roger recorded that implanting the magic core to change the magical talent can be used as a kind of system reward.
Then he asked again: "What if it's not a very high talent, just the most basic sense of magic? Waiting means you don't need to drive, you just need to sense the existence of magic. How much can the cost of such a magic core be reduced? "
"Sorry, we haven't done any experiments in this area. This kind of low-level magical talent has no practical significance." Sunflower showed a puzzled expression.
─━_─━
"How long does it take for a simple attempt?" Roger insisted.
"Two hours? If you want to know the result now, I can arrange for my subordinates to try it."
Roger nodded: "Then please make arrangements for Ms. Lydia."
Sunflower was silent for a moment, obviously she was just being polite, but Roger really arranged things down.
But the father of the gold master has the right to be willful, and Lydia quickly agreed to believe it.
Roger smiled and said: "Now let's discuss the procurement contract of the military department, whether there are any amendments to the equipment you provided, and the current cost and transaction price..."
He also has to complete the task for Margaret.
Roger himself was actually looking forward to the performance of Lydia's creations, and felt that they might have the incomparable advantages of alchemy equipment on certain battlefields.
The imperial people don't like these uncontrollable and scary magical creatures, especially the face control of the Queen of Eternal Night, who refuses to use the equipment provided by Lydia in the regular army sequence.
But after Roger saw its power, he felt that Lydia's creation had reached a certain level, and there was great potential to be tapped.
While waiting for the experimental results, Roger and Lydia had a very friendly and open-minded exchange.
The currently modified creatures that Lydia can provide to Haiguo are a series of "base corals" that can collect plankton in seawater for rapid reproduction and growth, and "self-exploding fish" of different types and attributes that grow up by eating this coral. ”, with an extremely wide range of adaptability for underwater operations.
Through the modification of different cells, the self-exploding fish can have many differences in speed, volume, and explosion properties.
Such as corrosion, such as freezing, such as burning, such as magic interference, and invisibility and so on.
There is also a self-exploding fish that directly blasts out an indescribable area, and when you enter it, you will continue to drop san, and you will hear the words of the devil in your ears.
Lydia says their role is to break off.
Roger felt more like suicide.
Anyway, it is experimental equipment. Lydia and her magicians who collect strange creatures from all over the universe have transformed many creatures that can no longer be described as "fish".
Roger and Lydia are discussing what more creativity these exploding fish can be, and the export price of these equipment.
Lydia is quite happy that some people like her equipment.
Originally, the catalogue that the military reported to her was just a perfunctory attempt to prove that the empire had invested in this area, and did not intend to actually use it.
She didn't expect Roger to provide her with a special session. This time, the equipment to support the sea clan was added, and the focus was on testing her base coral.
In return, Lydia happily adopted Roger's brainstorming design requirements.
The guests and host enjoyed a lot of conversation, and they didn't feel that time had passed at all.
Having experienced countless games and fantasy texts, using all kinds of incredible mechanisms to deduce, combined with Lydia's super biological transformation ability, they have created a bunch of outrageous self-exploding fish.
