Chapter 1551 The Day of Departure

For the next full half minute, Ophelia's eyes were fixed on the platform in the center of the laboratory, which was surrounded by a series of black obelisks, like some kind of weird ritual altar ——She can't see anything, can't feel anything, but the data is sending a clear signal:
On that empty platform, an invisible nightmare has been born at this moment, an incarnation of destruction bound by mortal power in the real world. Multiple force fields superimpose to form the body of this destroyer, and the powerful dark blue magic power binds it in the real world. The state of the world, it is stretching its new limbs in the fluctuating ripples at this moment, and one lick by it is enough to kill the most powerful intelligent creature in the world instantly.
What would happen if you stepped onto that platform right now? What does the observer effect look like when it gets out of hand? Will I see another face of this universe in the last second before death? Or will you lose your sanity in an instant and die in a frenzy? Can I touch the "boundary" of the magic tide for a short time? Or will it not feel its existence from beginning to end?
These bizarre and horrifying thoughts suddenly appeared in the virtual processing thread of the Ophelia Matrix, just like a person standing in front of a cliff, with fear emerging in his heart, but also the urge to jump forward, This terrifying thought of moths flying to a flame is enough to make people tremble, but Ophelia in the laboratory just maintains a motionless posture. Unnecessary "thoughts" were shut down one by one. At the same time, she heard Gao Wen's voice: "What's going on? Why is there suddenly no movement from your side?"
"...The experiment was successful," Ophelia said after a moment of hesitation, "Three sensors sent back offset data, showing that they were subjected to an unknown disturbance at a very close distance, which may be what we tried to simulate and capture 'Magic Tide'."
There was silence on the other side of the communication device. Ophelia couldn't see Gawain's expression at the moment, and her substitute body in the imperial capital was not by Gawain's side at the moment, but she could imagine the face of her trustworthy ally at this moment. It must be a mixture of great surprise and caution to see how it will look like——after a while, she heard the other party's steady voice: "One data is not enough to prove anything, we need to reproduce it many times."
"Yes, I'm already resetting the various system parameters in the laboratory," Ophelia said very calmly, "I will repeat this experiment seven more times, and check whether the unified field of mind is effective after the last test , all test data will be synchronously sent to the Empire’s Magic Energy Technology Department and the Alliance’s Magic Tide Countermeasures Office. If you think there is no problem, I will organize a copy of the data and send it to the Sorin Giant Tree, which will be compiled by the star solvers and sent to Neustar .”
Gao Wen's voice from the other side of the communicator was still steady and powerful: "Very well, I will leave the follow-up matters to you—I hope to hear good news from you on the way."
Ophelia was stunned for a moment, and quickly realized: "Are you ready to go?"
"A lot of things have been arranged. Hetty and the others are on the domestic affairs side, you and Wright are in charge of the theocratic council, and Amorn is in charge of the gods' side. It's time for me to go to my appointment," Gawain said. There seemed to be a little smile in the voice, "It's not a good idea to keep an ancient god waiting for too long, not to mention that ancient god's temper doesn't seem to be very good."
"...I don't feel that you have the slightest reverence for that ancient god," Ophelia's exquisite doll-like face finally showed a smile, "but anyway, I wish you All is well, and I hope you return safely and soon."
...
After finishing the communication with Deep Blue Well, listening to the low buzzing sound of the magic net terminal gradually calmed down, Gawain let out a sigh of relief, and sat back on his high-backed chair. Shining on the desk in front of him, it made the many furnishings on the desk glow with a hazy and warm glow.
. .
He slightly narrowed his eyes in the twilight—even though the breath of cold winter has not completely left this northern country, he still seems to feel a comfortable temperature from this ray of sunshine.
A familiar aura appeared in the study room, and the figure of Amber came out from a shadow gap, shouting while going out: "Are you ready? It's about time to go... Eh? You seem to be in a good mood? What happened?" What's the matter?"
"The experiment on the Ophelia matrix was successful," Gao Wen said with a smile on his face when he saw the amber drilled halfway, "We successfully simulated the wave of the magic wave in the laboratory and bound it to the force. center of the field."
What happened in the next second was just as Gawain expected: Amber fell out of the shadow gap with a "Mommy", and flopped on the floor like a salted fish. It took a long time to get up on the ground with hands and feet. Angrily: "You did it on purpose! You must have done it on purpose! You must tell me this when I am halfway up the climb! You know the news... Ophelia really succeeded?!"
She was still yelling anxiously, but at the end she couldn't help turning the topic to the shocking news, and then she seemed to have forgotten the shame that fell on the floor just now (maybe this thing didn't matter at all) There is no such thing as "shame"), and walked to the desk in two or three steps, staring straight at Gao Wen behind the desk: "She really succeeded? This...according to what you said, welding detonator and sawing light bulbs Ordinary project, really done?!"
"The principle is not complicated, the most difficult part is how to obtain the original reading of the magic tide under the premise of ensuring survival - and this step was completed seven hundred years ago with the collapse of the world's most powerful empire and a god It was completed at the cost of the annihilation of human nature, and what is left to us is a legacy that only needs to be followed step by step to obtain great results," Gao Wen looked at Amber calmly, although he was quite excited when he received the news just now, but At this moment, it is still a wonderful enjoyment to watch others stunned with a calm face, "Ophelia restored the magic wave in the laboratory. Although we cannot directly observe it, the equipment on site has confirmed it with data. its existence."
Speaking of this, he paused, and added: "Of course, we still need to reproduce it several times and verify after changing the conditions. We must completely rule out the possibility of misjudgment by the equipment, so it is not yet possible to use red wine for celebration. When it is taken out."
"...Mommy!!" Amber held back for a long time, and finally only uttered this sentence, and then it took several seconds for her to react, and then said, "What about now? The simulated magic wave will not Has there been a leak? Although the entire experimental facility is buried underground, that thing is a demon tide after all..."
Gawain looked at the Shadow Assault Goose with a half-smile, he knew that the other party was a little too excited, so that there were so many common sense mistakes in one sentence: "I have to correct you one thing: we simulated the magic tide, but It's not some kind of object that can 'slip' out of the container. Strictly speaking, it's just a constantly oscillating force field, and it needs to rely on the continuous replenishment of powerful energy to maintain stability. So that thing didn't 'leak' at all In other words, it can only stay in the center of the force field generating array, even if it is shifted a few millimeters outward, it will dissipate by itself because the force field is out of focus.
"Secondly, do you know why this experiment must be done by the Ophelia Matrix, and no outsiders are allowed to intervene? Even myself and my most trusted experts are not allowed to approach the underground laboratory of the Tarash Plain ——Because the magic tide is very likely to have an impact on the mind of the experimenter. The loss of control of the observer effect is the main power of the magic tide, but it is not necessarily its only power. Judging from its effective mechanism, ordinary people whose minds are easily affected There is a possibility of loss of control around the experimental setup.
"But the Ophelia Matrix can minimize this probability.
"If necessary, the Ophelia Matrix can terminate the experiment by remotely shutting down one of its own bodies or directly deleting some of its own threads, and can even use physical fusing to abandon some contaminated computing nodes to avoid mental problems , These are things that our ordinary people cannot do-although this still cannot guarantee 100% security, but at least within the scope of its ability, the Ophelia Matrix can maximize the security of this project.
"So don't worry about what's left, we still have things to do... The Dawn of the World is ready, right?"
"Ah... well, anyway, you know more about this professional field than I do," Amber scratched the back of her head, and finally diverted her attention temporarily, "The Dawn of the World has arrived at the sky above the city of the North Shore, and there are still a few more to come." A royal dragoon is on standby at the government office, and the two of us will take that one to the Dawn of the World in a while, and then set off for the Violet. But then again... are you really sure you want to drive an empty fortress to go to the Lady of the Night? A promise? Doesn't this seem a bit...too full of martial arts?"
"According to my judgment, Ms. Ye may like the painting style with abundant martial arts," Gao Wen thought for a while and said seriously, "And the second point, there are many conveniences in moving the Dawn of the World to the sky above Violet Island. ——Our exploration of that island has reached a point, and what a small group of exploration troops can do is almost at the limit. If we want to carry out further operations on that foreign land, it is necessary to establish more Reliable logistical supplies and a secure environment.
"On the other hand, anyway, the Dawn of the World has recently completed its national cruise mission, and it stops over the Sorin Plain. Why don't you just move to the northern seas, so that Bertila won't talk to me all day long about the things that affected her. Photosynthesis, the leaves on the head are falling..."
Gao Wen was explaining the reason why he decided to take the Dawn of the World directly to Violet for the appointment, but he still had something to say in his heart: Violet Island is now a barren and strange land, but such a large place will be discovered sooner or later Well, Ms. Ye doesn't want it anyway, it's close to Cecil, I might get a claim if I go there earlier to take a picture of the base, even if I can't get it, it's not a loss to occupy a piece in advance - that place isn't like Gondor There are historical controversies and sensitive issues in the homeland. Is it not too much for me to send an air police ship to protect our Tanji?
He didn't say these words, but who is Amber? That's the thief ancestor who had to pry open the coffin lid to see what's inside when he passed by the ancestor's grave, not to mention that he had been with Gao Wen for so many years. After sorting out the coquettish words that Emperor Cecil did not say, how could he not think of what the other party was thinking about driving the empty fortress to the ancient god's covenant?
But she didn't point it out. Anyway, Gao Wen and Typhon should have passed this matter. There have always been a lot of small tacit understandings and secret transactions among the top leaders of the three alliance empires. As the intelligence chief, she is in charge. Even if you didn't directly handle it, you can still smell something, so you didn't say anything, just waved your hand: "Okay, you have a good reason, then let's go..."
Speaking of this, she stopped suddenly, and patted her forehead as if remembering something: "Oh, yes, I forgot something, someone asked me to pass you a note."
Under Gao Wen's somewhat puzzled gaze, Amber reached out her hand to fumble in her pocket, and finally took out a crumpled note and handed it over—it was said to be a note, but the material of this thing seemed a bit weird, not like Gao Wen's. Any kind of paper that Wen knew was a bit like tough cloth or rubber, and there were clear and sharp writing on it:
"If you go out, there will be no accidents. If there is an accident, there must be a way out. Disasters will be far away, and the house will be peaceful."
Gao Wen looked up in confusion, and looked up at Amber: "...What do you mean?"
"Written by the Goddess of Curse, Toamorn sent it to you," Amber shrugged. "It is said that it was written under the strong request of the gods, but she didn't actually have the will... There are words on the back."
Hearing Amber's words, Gao Wen reacted in his mind for a while before he came up with the number. He recalled the last time he met with the gods, the one sitting on the boulder at the edge of the gathering place, with a gloomy and unsmiling look in black gauze and black dress, at the same time The goddess who seemed to be a bit slow in her reaction (I don't know if it was because of her nature or because she was beaten), then turned the note in her hand over and saw that there were words on it:
"Reverse curses are useless, utilitarian blessings are not advisable, and I actually don't have the ability to interfere with fate. I told them, but they didn't listen—Kizna."
There is a line of small characters under this line of words, Gao Wen looked at it for a long time before he could see it clearly: "So you have to be careful--I forgot to add this sentence just now."
After thinking about it carefully, Gao Wen still felt that the cursed goddess might indeed have had her mind broken...
"Knowing that the two of us are about to leave for the covenant of the ancient gods, the gods seem to be very... concerned," Amber's voice came from the side, waking Gao Wen from his stupor, "Actually, they are planning to see us off, But after discussing it, it was found that it was not feasible. I wanted to give a gift, but I didn’t know what to give, so I pushed the goddess of the curse and wrote an amulet. I also think this is a bit strange, but it’s theirs anyway. That's right, you just put it away."
At that time, Gao Wen had one thought in his mind: God damn cursed the amulet written by the goddess! This sentence is written on the grammar test paper, and someone who doesn't know the cause and effect will have to deduct three points for you on the spot, okay?
But this thought just went through in his mind, and he finally showed a complicated smile, and put the "talisman" away seriously.
In a sense, this is the first "human affairs" that the gods do after breaking free from the shackles of divinity.
"What are they doing now?" After putting away the amulet, he asked casually.
"They gathered in the disobedient courtyard according to the agreement. They should be in the arms maintenance class at this time. Do you want to go and have a look?"
"...No," Gawain thought for a while, then shook his head with a smile, "They have their things to do, and we have ours. Let's go, let's go to Violet."
