Chapter 466: The Restarted Laboratory

Battle of the Black Trap and Against the Tide.

To be honest, Gawain did not expect that he would hear such a shocking ancient secret in his chat with the siren Tyr, but when he thought about it carefully, he knew that if there was anyone else in the world who could say something better than him. What this satellite master knows is even more ancient and detailed historical materials, so only this group of deep-sea saltwater fish that have been observing land since ancient times.

The so-called black trap...what is it?

According to Tyre, it seems to be a filtering mechanism, or a "reaper mechanism" that harvests civilizations according to fixed standards. Every terrestrial civilization from ancient times to the present has been destroyed after it has developed to a certain extent— - The fact that it was destroyed by the magic tide, or by that mysterious "black trap", is horrifying.

But Gawain also knew very well that even if the black trap existed, mankind could not stop the pace of development.

Because there is still magic.

If you don't develop, you will die in the magic tide. If you develop, you may encounter a black trap.

The only thing he can do, and the only thing that might be effective, is to find out the truth about the "black trap" before humanity encounters it.

"I don't know if there is a development path that can both withstand the magic tide and avoid the black trap, but I believe that waiting for death is definitely not the solution. The magic tide has no mercy, and it will not postpone its visit because of human awe and retreat. of."

Gawain looked at the night in the distance, and said slowly in a calm and indifferent tone, while Tyre, who was beside him, opened his eyes slightly, and a smile appeared on his face: "Leaders should have this kind of awareness... You are a Nice friend."

Gawain also smiled back and asked a question, "Why did you suddenly tell me these things tonight?"

Tyr shrugged: "It's just a casual conversation about this."

Gawain didn't say anything, just looked at the Kraken quietly, until the latter showed a helpless look: "Okay—it's nothing, just treat it as a gift from Rainbow Technology. You may not realize it yet. What have you all come up with, but as far as I can tell, your new way of using magical energy is really valuable to us sirens. As a gift, I just told you this... Of course, knowing this in advance is very important to you. It's not necessarily a good thing.”

Gawain didn't pay attention to Tyre's last sentence, and just said seriously: "You have already given the return gift from Hongguang Technology."

"That little knowledge of shipbuilding is nothing,

You can figure it out after a few years of research on your own, but universal magic energy... has always been a bottleneck for us. We sirens cannot feel the magic in nature, nor can we understand and memorize your spell models. All along, we have been using the simplest and most rude and inefficient ways to obtain energy, and due to the influence of the magic tide , our efforts in this area have to be completely overturned and redone almost every tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years... So you should be able to imagine how important it is for us to have a hope of breaking the bottleneck. "

Speaking of which, Tyre was silent for a moment before continuing: "The siren is not used to owing others, even friends."

Gawain looked into Tyr's eyes quietly, before nodding lightly for a long time: "I understand, then I accept your kindness."

"Very well, and may your civilization flourish - a very pleasant conversation tonight."

Tyr's voice came in the night, and she jumped, the fish tail reflected the sparkling stars, drawing a graceful arc under the starlight, falling to the babbling of the Baishui River.

Gawain stood on the rock by the river bank, lowered his head and quietly looked at the direction of Tyre's whereabouts.

"...Affected by the local water element cycle, the water level of the Baishui River will drop at night - didn't you fall to your death?"

"I'm fine!"

...

Even if he knew that there were more challenges waiting for him in the distant future, Gawain would not stop his steps - or, it was because of knowing the mysterious and terrifying phenomenon of the "black trap" that he became more To accelerate the pace of development in some areas.

Although it is still uncertain whether there is a connection between the war against the tide in the ancient times and the black trap, the giant dragons who have always lived in hiding will participate in the wars on the continent on a large scale, and the spearhead of the war is also directed at human beliefs, which is high enough Wen turned his attention to the gods.

He doesn't know what role the gods play in "Black Trap," but he doesn't mind adding a little more knowledge about the gods.

In the deepest part of the fortress of disobedience, in front of the magic door leading to the shadow world.

The ancient hall, built a thousand years ago, has been renovated, and the damaged walls and roofs have been restored and decorated with contemporary cement materials and paints, while the ancient magic circles on the ground that have long been abandoned have been replaced by modern magic nets. In the newly renovated hall, only one thing still maintains its most original appearance: the circular magic door in the center of the room.

Around Might and Magic, several magic circle platforms used for monitoring are flickering on and off. The magicians in white researcher uniforms are busy around Might and Magic, monitoring the situation of the gate, and their bodies are full of arcane The brilliant Karmel floated in front of the gate and released a powerful arcane pulse at the energy center of the gate.

The slightly dim rune on the door immediately brightened, and a stable shadow world channel was opened.

"The laboratory in the Fortress of Disobedience is ready," Carmel turned around and said to Gawain and the others who arrived here early in the morning, "We can start at any time."

Gawain looked around at the people around him—besides Wright, who had to participate in the experiment, Pittman, Amber, and a group of researchers led by Rebecca followed. Originally Hetty also wanted to come with her, but considering the busy affairs of the Government Affairs Office and the fact that Hetty herself had quit the research and development team, she finally stayed in the post of the Government Affairs Office.

Amber is reluctant to come, but she is Gawain's guard and the most powerful shadow master in the territory. Considering the innumerable connections between the shadow world and the shadow world, bringing her is more than enough. This is an insurance for early warning of channel fluctuations, so whether this guy is willing or not, Gawain forcibly brought her over.

After confirming the people around him, Gawain nodded and looked at Wright: "Have you brought the test board?"

Wright took out the holy light substrate from his body: "Here."

Emily emerged from the air behind Wright and waved hello to Gawain.

Oh, and this little girl - she's Wright's bound equipment.

Gawain shook Emily's hand, then walked forward first: "The test equipment is ready in the laboratory... Then let's go in."

After passing through the passage leading to the Shadow Realm, the interior scene of the Rebellion Fortress was presented to everyone.

This thousand-year-old facility has been reopened, but only one of the laboratories has been reopened, and most of its area remains the same as Gawain first saw it - even more than when he first saw it. Also cold and empty.

Because all valuable ancient equipment and sample material have been removed.

The group ignored the empty corridors and rooms, and walked directly to the depths of the Rebellion Fortress under the leadership of Carmel.

They passed through the outer cloisters of the fort and passed the fan-shaped hall where nine hundred and seventy-two corpses had once been placed.

The bodies in the fan-shaped hall were transported out and properly interred in the cemetery outside Cecil, and the hall is now empty except for the rows of seats silently silent in the dim light. , Carmel couldn't help slowing down as he walked through the fan-shaped hall. He looked at this place that had trapped him for a thousand years, but in the end he didn't say anything, but went straight to the end of the hall and opened the access to the highest protection laboratory.

Gawain was taken to a room he hadn't seen before.

This room is just outside the fan-shaped hall. Judging from its location, it should be close to the gate leading to the burial place of Julu Ammon. Gawain saw that this laboratory had been thoroughly cleaned and refurbished. In the rectangular room The lights are bright, and there is a magic test bench and various experimental devices based on rune technology, and at the end of the room, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

A layer of light curtain floats on the surface of the floor-to-ceiling window, but outside the light curtain is an endless dark space. In the dark space, you can vaguely see countless broken floating boulders and small pieces of land, and a huge mountain like a mountain. Julu's body is located in the center of the entire dark space. The soft shimmer it emits illuminates the many metal fragments and small pumice stones floating around it. It looks beautiful, but it is also weird.

Wright looked at the corpse of Julu Amoen outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Although he already knew the fall of the God of Nature and gave up his belief in the God of Light, at this moment, he couldn't help it. I was touched by the holy and huge body of God.

Gawain stepped forward and patted Wright on the shoulder: "Don't look at it - what we are going to do today is a disobedience."

Carmel came to the center of the laboratory, where a circular platform was set up. This platform was also one of the few ancient equipment that remained in the entire laboratory. In front of the platform, he opened his hands and injected pure arcane energy into it. To the metal pillars on both sides of the platform, accompanied by a sudden low humming sound, the ancient magister whispered to himself:

"Disobey the plan, experiment... continue."

The low humming sound gradually turned into a smooth and stable sound. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a layer of more solid and obvious energy barriers appeared out of thin air, and gradually enveloped the entire fortress of disobedience, while a mechanically monotonous and slightly distorted synthesis The sound came from the sound device on the roof of the laboratory:

"...The secondary energy system is activated, and the operator is certified...

"...opening the active protection barrier...opening the passive protection barrier...opening the divine power filter...opening the same-frequency early warning system...

"...emergency fuse system testing...the state of the emergency fuse system is normal...

"Serious warning: Bastion's main AI is offline... Standby AI is offline... Databases at all levels are offline, networks at all levels are offline..."

"Ignore it," Camille said quietly.

"Ignore the error message, transfer the auxiliary authority to the basic answering authority, and detect that 99% of the operators are missing... Ignore it, remove the operator authentication restriction. The basic answering authority's full-function self-check is completed, and the answering authority is online.

"Good day, Chief Carmel Slaine Think Tank, I wish you a happy work."

Even though he knew that what was talking at the moment was just a basic answering mechanism with no thinking ability, whose mode was set a thousand years ago, Carmel still went back to the past in a trance at this moment, and saw a piece of the laboratory in a trance. With the busy scene of people coming and going, he felt the arcane energy in his body vibrate. After a long time, he said softly, "Good day, disobedient people... Let's get started."
