Chapter 139 Experiment
At 2 p.m., Luo Lin arrived on time at the seventh laboratory located on the underground floor of the analysis department.
The laboratory was quite large, filled with all sorts of oddly shaped instruments:
Some emit a low hum, some have different colored liquids flowing slowly inside, and many more are connected to crystal screens, intricate energy sensors, and control devices.
A middle-aged male wizard with messy hair and wearing a white robe stained with some unknown dirt was hunched over a device, his eyes almost touching the crystal screen, muttering incantations.
He is Senior Researcher Murphy, known for his unconventional thinking, bold experiments, and sometimes recklessness.
"Researcher Murphy?"
Rowling greeted him.
Murphy abruptly looked up, saw Rowling, and his somewhat hazy eyes brightened: "Oh! Rowling!"
"New kid, back from the Scorching Hell! Perfect timing!"
He beckoned Rollin over and pointed to the constantly scrolling energy waveform on the screen, which was interspersed with numerous dark purple spots.
"Look! This is the energy waveform of the corrupted variant extracted from those Purple Plague Stone samples. I tried seventeen conventional purification methods, and the best one could only remove 30% of the chaotic properties on the surface. The core corrosive properties remained completely unaffected and were even stimulated to become more active!"
"It's almost like it's alive!"
He spoke incredibly fast, his spittle practically flying onto the screen: "But! Based on what you mentioned in your report—that bluish-purple moss growing in polluted environments, and the energy soothing frequency you simulated during your spellcasting—I've got a new idea!"
Murphy excitedly tapped a few times on the control panel next to him, bringing up another set of data, a rough analysis of the energy absorption characteristics of blue-purple moss that Rollin had previously submitted.
"This moss has a pitifully low efficiency in absorbing pollution, but the sediment it transforms after absorbing it has an unusually stable energy property, almost identical to the basic fire element of the scorching hell."
"This shows that its transformation mechanism focuses not on elimination, but on transformation and reconstruction!"
"To break down and recombine chaotic energy with low order into stable energy with high order!"
He whirled around, staring at Rowling: "Doesn't your frequency of reassurance also contain a similar tendency towards reconstruction?"
"Not by forcibly suppressing or expelling it, but by guiding it to change?"
Rowling secretly admired him; although this researcher Murphy looked unkempt, his insight was indeed sharp.
He nodded: "My feeling is that I am more inclined to guide and deflect the chaotic energy flow, allowing it to move along a relatively stable path and reducing its corrosiveness to the outside world."
"But it's not possible to achieve a complete energy transformation like moss does at present."
"That's enough! This approach is far superior to simple purification!" Murphy rubbed his hands together and paced around the laboratory.
"We can design a multi-level energy processing model!"
"The first layer is to use a powerful flame to scorch and peel away the most violent outer shell."
The second layer involves using your preferred frequency of channeling for initial analysis.
The third layer simulates and even enhances the biotransformation mechanism of moss, attempting to convert the core corrupting energy into usable and relatively stable hellfire energy!
"If it succeeds—this is not just a purification solution, but could also be a new energy extraction technology!"
His eyes grew brighter, as if he could already see success: "I need you to cooperate with me in several control experiments, to record in detail your mental energy fluctuations, mana output curves, and most importantly, the precise parameters of that special frequency when you channel energy!"
"We must quantify and standardize it!"
For the next few hours, Rowling was completely immersed in the various experiments led by researcher Murphy.
He needed to activate the echo unit and precisely control the [Myriad Stars] to simulate the energy frequency with the characteristics of order guidance, and act on the strands of Purple Plague Stone pollution energy that were constrained by the instrument.
This process requires extremely high control over mental energy and necessitates repeated adjustments to parameters.
Murphy, on the other hand, acted like the most demanding supervisor, constantly urging him to "reduce the frequency by another three-thousandths," "maintain output stability," and "pay attention to the energy feedback phase difference" —
When the experiment came to a temporary end, Rowling felt more exhausted than after a battle, his mental energy greatly depleted.
However, the results were also significant. They successfully recorded three sets of relatively effective conduction frequency parameters and observed that after the pollution energy was conducted, the corrosiveness did decrease significantly, and there was even a slight tendency to move closer to the stable fire element.
"Very good! Excellent!"
Murphy looked at the compiled data on the screen and, unusually, smiled with satisfaction.
That's all for today.
"This data should take me a while to process."
"Rolin, your perception and control are even better than the report says."
"Keep it up, this project has potential!"
It was nearly dusk when we left the Seventh Laboratory.
Instead of going to the restaurant immediately, Rowling returned to the research lab first to roughly record what he had learned from the knowledge base and his experiences from the experiments.
He then took out the application form for the high-end customized equipment.
It's time to start thinking about it properly.
What he wanted was a piece of equipment that could deeply assist the operation of the response unit and enhance its own perception and research capabilities.
In terms of form, a ring or forehead ornament might be a good choice, as they are easy to carry and close to the energy core.
In terms of functionality, he listed several core requirements:
First, enhance and broaden the sensing range and accuracy of heterogeneous and weak energy signals, and ideally perform preliminary spectrum analysis and feature labeling.
Second, it has a certain degree of energy recording and playback function, which is convenient for comparative research and spell model optimization.
Third, it contains a small but highly effective set of mind-calming runes to help maintain mental stability during long periods of research or in complex energy environments.
Fourth, basic physical and energy protection, capable of withstanding at least the regular attacks of a first-level spell and the continuous erosion of a harsh environment.
5. The appearance should be discreet and inconspicuous, and it is best to use simple optical camouflage as needed.
These requirements were carefully filled into the form, along with preliminary design sketches.
A simple, antique-style silver-gray ring with a faceted setting of tiny, multifaceted, transparent crystals.
The crystal can be micro-engraved with composite sensing runes, while the ring itself carries a set of recording, protective, and meditation runes.
After filling it out, he checked it again to make sure it was correct, and then sealed the application form.
Next, simply submit it to the Alchemy and Enchanting Association's Customization Review Department and wait for evaluation and consultation with a master.
After doing all this, he felt hungry and got up to go to the restaurant.
The restaurant was even more crowded at dinner time.
Luo Lin bought a stew and bread, and found a corner to sit down as usual.
I had only taken a few bites when I saw Flame Shield and Nightingale walk in together. They both looked to be in good spirits, clearly having rested well.
They also saw Rowling and walked straight over.
"How's it going? Research department genius, are you adjusting well to the environment?"
Flame Shield pulled out a chair and sat down, joking with a smile.
"I've been busy all day; it's more tiring than fighting."
Luo Lin shook his head, but his tone carried a hint of satisfaction.
"But it was very rewarding. How about you guys?"
"I redeemed that simplified scroll of [Lava Barrier] and spent the whole afternoon figuring it out. I'm starting to get a feel for it, but this thing really requires a high level of mana quality and control."
Flame Shield smacked his lips.
"I still need to practice more! But I did go to the combat skills training ground and stretched my muscles a bit, and I feel like my rusty body has come back to life."
Nightingale asked for a glass of water and sipped it slowly: "I've sorted out the information on those poisons. Some of the formulas are very old, and the processing methods are very different from modern ones. They need to be carefully verified."
"In addition, the Shadow Dance footwork seems to have undergone some new changes after being used a lot in the complex terrain of the Scorching Hell. I need more time to fully understand and master it."
The three of them exchanged brief updates on their recent lives, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
Having gone through life and death together, this kind of simple communication between comrades-in-arms seems especially precious.
"By the way," Flame Shield suddenly lowered his voice, "has your analysis department received any information about the aftermath of the Ash Ring's movements? And what about the Empire?"
Luo Lin shook his head: "Not at the moment. The higher-ups should have their own intelligence channels."
"Our main task now is to digest what we've learned and improve ourselves."
"If anything changes, we will know when the time comes."
Nightingale nodded in agreement: "Strength is fundamental."
"Luck played a big part in the fact that I was able to come back alive this time."
"Next time—we might not be so lucky."
The three of them were silent for a moment, and they all understood this principle.
