This ancient and young country has survived a disaster like a rebirth from ashes. Although the road ahead is still shrouded in a layer of haze, a ray of sunlight has penetrated through the layers of clouds and mist, and sprinkled on this revitalizing area. on the ground.

In Cecil City, the atmosphere on the eve of the celebration is becoming more and more intense. Brightly colored flags have been hung on several main avenues, municipal workers are hanging red and green ribbons on street lights and buildings facing the street, and children are waving. Leftovers of streamers picked up on the side of the road ran through the wide concrete streets laughing all the way. Citizens dressed in brand-new clothes were talking about the latest news in the streets and alleys, some with smiles, some with serious faces.

Newsboys with satchels ran across the streets, loudly chanting the latest issue of Cecil Weekly or other newspapers. Newspapers with a fragrant ink poked their heads out of their satchels, and the headlines in large letters were very eye-catching— —

"The peaceful end of the Ansu kingship, the temporary council of Saint-Sunil announced to the whole territory: the great Cecil Empire is about to be established"

Magic Energy Technology Research Institute, on the third floor of the main building, Cohen Bell watched the newsboys run across the street, withdrew his gaze from the outside, smiled and shook his head: "These children who sell newspapers are going to be happy recently, big news one after another. One."

A tall man with a slightly bald shrug shrugged: "There are also pubs and chess and card rooms that are happy. Every day, there are countless 'newspaper clerks' and 'broadcast administrators' discussing the future there. There's no place where you can spend your time quietly after get off work."

"It's a problem if you go to the tavern and the chess and card room to find peace," Cohen glanced at the colleague, "I suggest you try the newly opened 'cafe' on Jinfangzhu Street, run by a northerner. The environment is good, and the drinks are very... novel."

The two researchers chatted, but their chat was soon interrupted-the door of the laboratory was suddenly pushed open, and a vibrant voice came from the door: "Yo! Good morning, everyone... Good morning! Are we ready for the test we're going to do today?"

Rebecca with braided hair walked into the laboratory while saying hello. The refreshing braids were swayed behind her head with her footsteps, and there was a beaming atmosphere all over her body-in fact, She has been so beaming for a long time lately.

Those who are familiar with her know the reason for this cheerfulness: the ancestors were on a personal expedition, the aunt was in the government affairs hall, the two elders were very busy, and the magic energy technology department, large and small, all the affairs belonged to the marquis (currently still Marquis) alone, and due to the dual-priority policy of scientific research and military industry during the war, the recent funding approvals of the Magic Energy Technology Department are very sufficient. For Rebecca, who often has amazing ideas, this kind of life is simply a dream moment.

She has been off the hook for almost two months,

And it looks like it's going to keep going for a while...

The Grand Consul, Ms. Hetty, may have a headache after seeing such a Rebecca, but the people who work in the research department are very happy to see the minister (director) in this state, because Rebecca is always in a loose state. He has a sharp mind that is unmatched by ordinary people. Recently, several research projects have been progressing quite well - it is true that it relies on the joint efforts of the researchers, but Rebecca's leadership is also indispensable.

"Miss Rebecca," Cohen bowed like the others with a smile on his face, "everything is ready and ready to begin."

"Not bad~~" Rebecca kept a beaming smile and walked straight to the large platform in the center of the laboratory. There were a large number of various magical devices placed around the platform. On the platform, a diameter of about two meters was placed. , About a palm wide, a metal ring device with a large number of runes and crystal inlays on the surface.

The members of the group gathered one after another and came to their working positions. The tall man with a slightly bald head asked casually while adjusting the energy supply of the experimental platform: "Miss Rebecca, you saw today's newspaper. Ah, you must have known the news long before the newspapers?"

As soon as this sentence was finished, the surrounding magicians all paused their movements, all of them showed expressions of interest, and raised their ears slightly, but Rebecca, who was the center, was stunned for a moment: " Huh? I didn't read it... Mr. Marin, what's the news?"

Cohen looked like he had "knew this earlier", and helped his forehead a little helplessly, reminding him: "About the Cecil Empire... You should know that the Ansu Kingship is over."

"...Oh!" Rebecca reacted for another two seconds before she suddenly reacted and slapped her hand, "Oh yes! I heard Aunt Heidi mention it at dinner last night...she said something else...but At the time, my mind was full of formulas, and I didn't write them down..."

"You..." Ma Lin, a slightly bald-headed magician, opened his mouth, but suddenly realized that he didn't know what to say. This should have been a good "intermission topic", but the unexpected reaction of the client turned the topic into a new one. Embarrassed, he had no choice but to remind him sideways, "We may soon be addressing you as Her Royal Highness..."

Rebecca thought for a while, then reacted for another two seconds.

"Ah, it seems..." She finally woke up, and finally recalled that Aunt Hetty had told her a lot about re-learning etiquette lessons, re-learning grammar, history and other topics. Gradually become wonderful.

"No... No one stipulates that the princess must retake the etiquette class, right?" Rebecca's eyes widened like a frightened rabbit, and she said nervously to Malin, "You are Viscount Leslie's nephew, you Do you understand?"

"This... I don't know if you ask me..." Marin was full of tears and laughter. He was indeed the only one in the laboratory other than Rebecca Cecil who was related to the blood of the nobles. However, this relationship also Just because he has an uncle who is a viscount, how can he answer the question of Rebecca, who is about to become "Her Royal Highness", but after thinking about it, considering all the rumors about the heir of Cecil, considering her At that time, it was almost a laughing stock in the circle of aristocrats in the southern border. It seems that the other party asked him to ask questions. It is not incomprehensible. It's all new, and the old aristocratic etiquette must be less important."

Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief: "That's okay..."

Marin thought for a while, then added: "But the old ones don't need to be rebuilt, the new ones must be learned now..."

Rebecca: "..."

To be honest, at this moment, she was almost scared out of the big fireball. It was the high cost of many sophisticated equipment in the laboratory and the memory of her aunt's hammer that calmed her down.

"We...don't discuss this..." The future imperial princess cut off the topic abruptly, as if an ostrich buried its head in the sand, "Let's start...let's start the experiment."

Seeing her reaction, the magicians wisely ended the topic and began to cooperate skillfully to prepare for the next experiment.

Although with the gradual application of immersion chamber technology, more and more immersion chamber equipment has been put into use, and more and more elite researchers have been able to enter the virtual space of the "Original Laboratory" to conduct experiments, but the virtual laboratory has the limit of realism after all. , the test in the real world is still a necessary link in the middle and late stages of many experimental projects, especially when it involves less "physical" projects such as complex rune laws and black box spell reorganization, such practical tests are even more important.

As a rule of thumb, this type of project has the greatest "reality deviation" in Origin Labs.

With the skillful cooperation and operation of the project team members, the surface of the platform in the center of the laboratory gradually showed a faint light of runes, and various detection, control and recording devices around the platform were also ready. The metal device trembled slightly with the filling of magic power, and made a very faint and pleasant sound.

"Okay, the prototype anti-gravity ring, the total number of tests is 627 times, the twelfth test in reality," Rebecca stood beside the test bench, her expression became serious after all this started , and instructed in a steady voice, "Maintain the magic field, check the ring body."

"The anti-gravity ring has started to operate, the current load is normal, and the rune interference is within the safe value," Cohen quickly checked the monitoring device in front of him-the so-called monitoring device was a crystal sheet set next to the platform, and the sheet was solidified Detecting the spell effects of distortion and magic feedback, we can observe the distribution of magic power on the test bench, and show the signs of loss of control of magic power in time. "The lift has begun to appear... It is very stable."

Rebecca stared at the situation on the experimental bench: "Slowly release the restriction lock."

An operator responded immediately: "Yes, release the restriction lock."

There was a slight clicking sound from the bottom of the experimental platform, and then several locking devices that had firmly fixed the metal ring were released little by little - the metal ring with complex runes began to rise gradually, and the metal ring began to rise gradually. Several strong steel cables are still fixed under the ring to ensure the safety of the whole process.

The antigravity ring rose to about half a meter above the platform and stabilized there.

However, everyone in the laboratory did not relax, but their expressions became more serious and nervous.

"The levitation is effective, and the anti-gravity field has stabilized," Cohen continued to report the situation. "The rune interference is within safe values."

"Test load."

Several steel cables were gradually tightened, and the anti-gravity ring above the platform floated slightly up and down, but soon stabilized again.

"The load has been increased to 220 kilograms, and it is still stable."

"Maintain this load first," Rebecca said while checking the status of each device, "Next... Let's try to make it move. Marlin, move laterally, pay attention to a small amount."

Marin Leslie nodded, took a slight breath, and then began to control a part of the rune structure engraved on the anti-gravity ring through a non-contact magic field, and tried to change the direction of the anti-gravity field and reset the ring. The way of loading everywhere to achieve its translation.

The anti-gravity ring made a slight hum, the runes on the surface waved like water, and then it trembled slightly and began to move to one side.

Rebecca's eyes widened, almost holding her breath as she watched all this.

In the next second, a strong light flickered on the surface of the ring, and the entire metal structure let out a piercing scream in the violent tremor, and then suddenly rose up——

"Clap--"

There were several consecutive explosions, and the hooks used to connect the wire rope and the ring broke one after another. The anti-gravity ring slammed into the ceiling in a strong flash, and then slammed into it with a loud "bang". .

Rebecca reacted the moment the ring was out of control, and slapped the emergency stop button next to the test bench, cutting off the supply of the ring's magic field. However, everything happened too fast, and the ring had hit the ground. Even if the energy supply was interrupted, the runes on the surface of the ring dimmed, and it did not fall.

It's already embedded.

A piece of ash dust fell from the laboratory, and a group of magic technicians were embarrassed to dodge the falling objects from the sky. Look at the anti-gravity ring inlaid on the ceiling.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

After a long time, Cohen Bell broke the silence in a low voice: "At least... We now know that the limit lift of this thing after overloading is very large, although it can only last for a moment..."

"We should probably get stronger hooks and cables..." Marin added.

"A flying device that can only go straight up and down is not useful at all..." An assistant researcher whispered, but because the laboratory itself was very quiet, everyone heard her muttering.

"Perhaps it's time to try my initial plan," Rebecca said, pinching her chin, "While flying, it fires a big fireball backwards, although it's a bit slower, and it consumes a bit more..."

Cohen immediately broke out in a cold sweat and quickly discouraged: "Your plan is more dangerous than losing control of the anti-gravity ring, and Ms. Hetty probably won't agree..."

"Aunt, she's not in the technical department... well," Rebecca lowered her head halfway and sighed, "Let's clean up here, organize the data and so on, and we'll study where it came from. Problem. In addition, after everyone goes back, think about whether there are other safer alternatives."

After she finished speaking, she raised her head and glanced at the metal ring inlaid on the roof.

"Cohen, you'll find a way to... dig it out later. Who else is going upstairs with me? Go and tell Master Carmel that this time it didn't explode... No one? Okay, then myself go……"
