Chapter 1118 Experiment Records

"Record"

On the 12th, the first day of the test.

According to the request of His Majesty Roland, a hazard test was conducted.

Thirty roosters were evenly placed around the experimental table, one of which was located at the direct point of the red light.

The irradiation time is five minutes.

The target rooster reacted very violently, dashing left and right in the cage, while the other roosters showed no reaction.

There was a slight burnt smell at the scene.

After the irradiation, subtle burn marks were found on the fallen feathers of the target rooster. But such a weak damage is not enough to cause the feathers to break off. It should be thrown off when the target struggles.

The owner of the feather seemed a little listless, but overall he was basically normal.

From this point of view, it is not as harmful as a torch.

Recorder: Celine.

…

On the 13th, the second day of the test.

Things have changed.

The target rooster began to have diarrhea and whine, as if suffering from an evil plague.

Everything is fine with the other roosters.

His Majesty Roland's expression seemed a little solemn (this sentence was deleted from the official record).

No new tests were conducted today.

…

On the 14th, the third day of the experiment.

The target rooster is dead.

After the autopsy, it was found that water oozed from the target's body, the internal organs were soaked with blood, and there was decay under the skin - symptoms that usually only appear one day after the animal died.

In other words, that red light killed the chicken skin in advance while keeping the target alive?

This is very interesting.

Thinking of the stories of the Temple of the Damned and the Town of Thorns, as well as the scenes in those murals, it seems like that.

The cursed person was tortured while seemingly unharmed, until his whole body was ulcerated. Although the person was alive, he watched his body die bit by bit. This feeling must have been unpleasant.

I retract my preamble, although its lethality is still less than that of a torch, the method is much weirder.

But His Majesty Roland has his own opinion.

He believed that it was the red light that destroyed the living body's ability to renew itself.

At a microscopic level that is invisible to the naked eye, the body is growing and dying all the time, forming a balance between the two. Therefore, once growth is stopped, necrosis will occur over a large area. The so-called curse is essentially like this.

Until there is more evidence to disprove this statement, I agree (the following paragraphs have been deleted from the official record).

The microscope is a fascinating invention.

Moreover, the data collected from the dream world can also be consistent with the observation results, indicating that living organisms are built from small cells that continue to grow.

The reason why light can penetrate the body is because the seemingly dense body surface is actually full of holes.

I felt like I was entering new territory.

It's a pity that I can't enter the dream world myself.

I heard that if you want to learn relevant knowledge, you have to reach at least a "high school" level, and the typical study time is nine years.

Sure enough, is it too much to ask Phyllis and Elena to speed up the process?

…

On the 16th, the fifth day of the experiment.

All the roosters, dead and alive, were buried deep underground.

The laboratory underwent a thorough cleaning.

After an interval of one day, the test continued.

The target objects were replaced with three cows, aiming to test the possibility of using the Ceremonial Cube as a weapon and the target's body type's ability to tolerate red light.

…

On the 20th, the ninth day of the experiment.

The results were disastrous.

The three target irradiation times reached ten minutes, fifteen minutes and half an hour respectively.

But even the cow with the longest exposure survived for four days.

Regardless of the devil's ability to resist, it is impossible to just stand there and wait for a long period of exposure - even if the "curse" will continue to cause damage, at least on the battlefield, victory or defeat is only a matter of seconds.

The scene in the temple mural where the subject uses the ritual magic cube to defeat the object's giant statue is indeed just an exaggeration.

Or...are they particularly vulnerable to this "cursed light"?

…

On the 21st, the tenth day of the experiment.

Range test.

After confirming that the Rubik's Cube would not spread harm to surrounding areas, His Majesty Roland agreed to the outdoor test plan.

The test site was still chosen at the bottom of the Impasse Mountain Valley.

The conclusion is rather disappointing.

The range of red light cannot exceed 100 meters, and any obstruction can further reduce its penetration distance.

Some metallic substances can even block it completely.

For example, ten golden dragons stacked on top of each other.

Even pure water has a good blocking effect.

This conclusion almost rules out its use in weapons.

…

On the 26th, the fifteenth day of the experiment.

Taking advantage of Nana's return from the front line, a healing test was conducted.

The result is between curable and incurable.

For example, if an irradiated cow only repairs the damaged parts of its skin and organs, the situation will still worsen, and the healed parts will be re-infected with the "curse".

But we selected a complete small organ, removed it after treatment, and transplanted it into another healthy cow, and found that it did not continue to deteriorate.

In other words, it is possible to remove the "curse" through extensive reconstruction of the body.

But that has exceeded Nanava's upper limit of magic power.

If you want to confirm it, you need to use Speer Passi's channel ability, so you can only put it on hold.

To be on the safe side, it is better to temporarily define it as "incurable".

Incidentally, Cow No. 1 finally died and survived for ten days.

…

On the 28th, the seventeenth day of the experiment.

The Festival Cube glowed blue again.

The coins are consumed.

Fortunately, His Majesty Roland still has a similar coin.

But after all, this is the raw material for making "Sun Glory". It is not only rare in content, but also extremely difficult to collect. I feel like I am wasting the most precious resource in the world.

In addition, the magic power contained in the Rubik's Cube has also bottomed out, but just like the talisman, it can be replenished at any time.

Given its cost, such testing should not continue.

Once the intended resistance items are tested, I hope to be able to disassemble it.

…

Roland let out a breath and closed the "Official Version of Experimental Records".

"You're looking at it again." Nightingale leaned on the recliner, chewing dried fish in her mouth and said, "Isn't the result obvious? The legendary ancient treasure is just a torture tool. It has no use except for torturing captives. Incredible effect.”

Indeed, just like what was engraved in the mural, its only purpose was to torture the enemy.

The principle is probably similar to that of ionizing radiation, and uranium coins are the raw materials - the cause of the excitation is unknown, but the results are basically similar. The difference is that the Ceremony Cube can control the direction of high-energy particles, which is equivalent to directional irradiation.

Roland suspected that the red light was only used to indicate the target, similar to a laser sight, and was not equivalent to the ray itself - after all, it would be incredible to be able to see neutron beams or high-energy electrons with the naked eye.

At this point, the truth behind the cursed temple and the mystery of the violent deaths of the residents of Thorn Town have all been answered.

A civilization that worships radioactive elements used magic to create such a conversion device. It has a very single function. After filling it with high-purity radioactive raw materials, it can stimulate a small amount of high-energy particle beams. As for why it fails after a hundred meters, I'm afraid it has something to do with magic power.

But this conclusion left him slightly empty.

It has already reached the advanced physical level. He originally thought that this thing would be a little taller, but I am afraid that in the hands of the original owner of the relic, it would be no different from torture instruments such as whips and guillotines.

This can be regarded as a difference between civilized ethnic groups.

"Your Majesty," at this moment, the report from the personal guard Sean sounded outside the door, "The Taquila Witch has sent the latest test records."

"Bring it in."

According to the plan, this test is the last one.

Different animals are irradiated for the same length of time to determine the specific ratio of size to tolerance.

After that, all experiments on the Rubik's Cube were stopped.

After all, uranium is hard-won, and there are more important uses waiting for it.

Roland opened the notebook handed over by Sean and picked up the teacup at the same time.

It's still Celine's handwriting.

On the 30th, the nineteenth day of the experiment.

The test has finally come to an end.

The results were clear: the larger the body, the higher the tolerance to red light. But if you want to use numerical formulas to express it, it will take a certain amount of time.

Also, something went wrong during testing.

This thing is simply ridiculous - I wanted to use the last remaining ingredients to test whether it was directly lethal, so I aimed at a fish in a glass tank.

After five minutes of continuous irradiation, the fish was still alive, but the water was already steaming.

In other words, it is not as lethal as boiling water - if it continues to be irradiated, the Festival Cube will first boil the water and then scald the fish to death.

Maybe, this thing can also be used to make soup?

"Poof!" Roland immediately spat out all the tea he had just drank.

"What's wrong?" Nightingale looked at him in surprise.

"I actually forgot this..." Roland murmured. He had been thinking about various high-level possibilities and applications, but ignored the most basic point. The essence of rays is a kind of energy transfer, and with energy transfer, You can use it to boil water.

The history of progress of human civilization is itself a process of boiling water in different ways.
