Chapter 625: Fog Harbor Experiment
When Guangyan first came to Wugang, he saw waste materials and garbage everywhere, and thought, it is as shabby as the rumors say.
It is said that this was the place where the old god Yingshen made the Lantern Clan. All kinds of defective and failed products were dismantled and thrown everywhere.
Over the years, the altitude of this garbage mountain has continued to rise, and the scale is large enough to be called a piece of land.
In order to further observe the Lantern Clan, Yingshen slightly modified this place and surrounded it. The gods covered the sky with thick black clouds in all directions. Yingshen ordered the Lantern Clan to make light crowns and sky lanterns here day after day as commodities selected by other gods.
Since Yaoshen took over this world, the Lantern Clan is no longer under house arrest here. In the underground carbon city, the Lantern Clan can complete their new life safely and easily.
Guangyan stepped on the garbage ground under his feet, which was quite solid.
Wugang is not a good place.
But if it is really a particularly good place, I am afraid I will not get this opportunity.
After all, Guangyan is still a criminal serving a sentence.
"Mr. Guang, although Wugang is not as good as many places, the materials here are very rich and can be used locally." Assistant Deng Xi was optimistic.
"Yeah."
Guangyan nodded: "This place is quiet and spacious, and it is very suitable for placing the walker. Let's get moving and reorganize and install the device."
With its order, the Deng Clan and the White Bone Ancestors began to get busy.
The five mobile fortresses drove into the designated positions, unfolded the white bone display racks and support rods on the fortresses, and fixed the distance and frame between each other.
Then, the Deng Clan and the White Bone Ancestors combined the crystal pipes with the copper base to connect these extensions into one.
After the installation was completed, 15 shell skeleton calculators conducted algorithm testing and trial operation on the walker.
As the gate opened, the small three-color insects moved in the crystal pipes one by one, giving a steady stream of calculation results.
"Input is normal."
"Storage is normal."
"Output is normal."
"Calculation is normal."
The four main functions were confirmed to be unobstructed, and Guangyan ordered everyone to start data scanning and importing.
Since the [Fog Port Shifter] is newly established, all the data of Fog Port must be collected and stored first. Including the length, width, height, area, black cloud thickness, light requirements, etc. of each area, all must be recorded.
In the center of Fog Port, the [Ripple Valley] adjacent to the Shifter is still under construction.
The person in charge of this project is the white bone engineer Melebu.
He is a disciple of the apostle Longji, a researcher and dragon maker of the Mystic Academy, and one of the founders of the bone dragon.
Guangyan remained polite to the famous Melebu.
"Mr. Melebu, I wonder how long it will take for the Ripple Valley to be completed?"
The researcher flipped through the engineering record book in his hand and said, "Now it is the second phase of the project, mainly to do disaster prevention and local reinforcement, and it will be completed in three to five days."
Guangyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"But there are still three phases to go. The third phase is filled with wind and light crystals. Those crystals must be sent from the four countries of the Abyss."
"Recently, because Lord Jushen has built three ripple valleys in a row, the reserves of these two elements are a bit tight. But according to previous experience, as long as the Abyss comes, we can install and debug them in about fifteen days. It's just that there are no crystals now, so we have to wait."
Meilebu's words poured cold water on him again.
Guangyan turned his head and thought.
Slow down.
Anyway, the ripple body experiment can't be done in a short time.
"Mr. Guangyan, you are really amazing."
Meilebu changed the subject and said with a smile: "I can go from a pure newcomer to the person in charge of a regional stepper in just three years here with Lord Jushen."
Guangyan could only smile awkwardly.
It seems that Meiliebu doesn't know his situation yet.
Yes, he has been busy with research and engineering in the research institute for many years, and he may not pay much attention to gossip.
In fact, it is a bit magical that a light-gathering beast and an undead creature that is naturally restrained and harmed by light elements can stand together to discuss engineering cooperation.
Thanks to the fourth-generation [Dual City Armor] invented by White Castle, the new crystal structure can seal the elemental power in the crystal structure to prevent the power from leaking out.
This not only reduces losses, but also allows elemental creatures to meet people in a visible and safe form.
"Mr. Guangyan is an elemental fairy. I wonder where his hometown is?"
"I am also from the Resurrection Kingdom."
"We are from the same hometown."
Melib was shocked, and then he said happily: "Why didn't you say anything about this? I didn't expect that the kingdom would have such a great person like you. The kingdom has lost a great talent!"
Guangyan thought to himself that if I hadn't run fast, I'm afraid I would have been captured by the kingdom.
As a light-gathering beast, it is inherently a fatal threat to undead life. After Guangyan was born, he hid from XZ to avoid being discovered by the skeleton army of the Resurrection Kingdom.
If he was caught, he would be sent to a special city to avoid civilian casualties.
In fact, it was just house arrest.
In order to run towards freedom, Guangyan found a Sand City reporter and entered Sand City as a resident of the Mystic Country under his introduction.
As a result, he was arrested by the agents of the [Investigation Bureau] before he even had time to sit down.
The reason was that he had forged his identity and was suspected of illegal entry.
The agent explained his transfer route clearly, which made Guangyan feel numb. It turned out that everything about him was under their control.
Guangyan went around in circles, but he just changed his place of imprisonment.
Served three years in prison.
He didn't feel anything about being imprisoned for being a god martyr, but he was more worried about being deported to the Resurrection Kingdom.
Just when Guangyan was desperate, the God of Principle launched a recruitment of calculators in all worlds. No matter their identity or past, as long as they met the requirements, they could join Zhuri Bay.
There were two requirements.
One was to be a creature of light or wind elements, or a wizard or scholar who mastered these two elements.
The second was to be able to accept uncontrollable risks and high-intensity calculation work.
The treatment given by the God of Principle was to pardon all existing crimes, permanent settlement rights in Zhuri Bay, all-inclusive food and accommodation, and generous salary.
Guangyan immediately filled out the application form.
In the entire Sand City Prison, more than 20 criminals responded to the recruitment. But only Guangyan passed the test requirements of the shell skeleton calculator who came to recruit people and entered the probation period.
After following the calculator all the way to Zhuri Bay, he knew that the challenge had just begun.
The 33 trainee calculators in the probation period need to pass a year of normal work and meet the standards in both the theory and practical operation of the stepper and stepper to become a qualified calculator.
Guangyan works day and night, just studying and practicing technology.
For him, this is much better than being in prison.
Zhuri Bay is a very simple place. The calculators take turns on duty and can go to other worlds for vacation during vacation. Although they are busy every day during the working period, the vacation is very relaxed and the treatment is very high.
In the end, only 7 people from this batch stayed.
After becoming a formal calculator, Guangyan passed the assessment of Jushen two years later and won the position of the person in charge of the new stepper.
Only then did he know that Jushen personally recruited people for the purpose of researching and developing a special object called ripple body.
This thing cannot be seen by the naked eye, it will jump in the ripple valley and connect everyone.
Through connection and synchronization, it drives people to create more ripple valleys, so that it can have a larger jumping radiation range.
Guangyan has also tried many field tests.
It felt strange.
It was like being knocked unconscious by a stick, and when I woke up I found myself digging soil and stones, and I had no memory of what happened in this short period of time.
The God of Ju equipped calculators like Guangyan with the fourth generation [Dual City Armor] to facilitate the use of wind and light elements to experiment with the ripple body.
However, Guangyan got nothing.
The only purpose of his [Concentration Technique] was to make the ripple body more active.
Not only the light element, but also the wind element.
These two elements can add fuel to the fire, but they cannot control the ripple body.
The God of Ju sent down an oracle.
——From now on, the area will be divided and the stepper will be used for long-term directional experiments.
Zhuri Bay has been divided into three areas.
The central area is personally presided over by the God of Ju, and it is also the location of the Zhuri Bay stepper.
The new pot area is in charge of the shell skeleton calculator Mumford, who will arrange the stepper and build the ripple valley in the area next to the wonder [World Pot].
The new fog port area is in charge of the calculator Guangyan, and the others are the same as above.
…
Melebu’s words interrupted Guangyan’s thoughts.
“Ripple body is really an amazing thing. It can cross the boundaries of the world and travel between many worlds. If it can be controlled, not only will Lord Jushen give generous rewards, Lord Yaoshen will also look at it differently. The first person to do it will definitely go down in history.”
Guangyan couldn’t laugh.
How easy is this?
The more you understand ripple body, the more you realize how difficult it is.
Otherwise, Jushen would not recruit people from outside to seek more algorithm variables.
…
After the construction of Ripple Valley was completed, the entire Wugang District became busier.
Guangyan led the calculators to complete the first round of five tests.
The results were consistent with the previous ones.
The brain consciousness was temporarily disconnected, and the body behavior was out of control.
Whether it was the elemental fairies, the lamp tribe, or the white bone ancestors, the result was the same.
In the walker, the three-color bugs and shell cockroaches were not affected.
This is also a conclusion that has been drawn long ago: the more self-conscious individuals are, the easier they are to be connected and synchronized. Low-level and simple life forms are less affected because they cannot grasp and understand complex information and behaviors.
Fortunately, the ripple body is now subdued by the power of Lord Yaoshen, so it can be determined whether it can be moved or sealed.
The three places including Zhuri Bay, Abyss and Dixin Kingdom are all studying it intensively.
So far, the use of ripple bodies is still through the Ripple Valley, where the number and intensity of the two types of light and wind crystal structures are adjusted, and instructions are obtained through the flickering of the crystal structure caused by the ripple body.
Both calculation and detection are cumbersome and inefficient.
However, during this process, Guangyan noticed something strange.
During two tests of the ripple body, the response of the Ripple Valley suddenly stopped, as if this special object had temporarily failed.
But not long after, the ripple body resumed the connection effect.
Guangyan asked the other two areas and learned that they were in the same situation.
The calculators had their own guesses.
"Perhaps it's because it jumped to a certain area and was restricted?"
"It may also be because the energy consumption is too high? We have been testing the ripple body. Although it is a special object, it also has consumption. It is related to the element crystal structure and will consume wind and light elements."
"I don't think so. It's not the difference in intensity and duration, but it just disappeared for a while."
"Maybe Lord Jushen used some kind of divine power?"
...
Guangyan cast his eyes around.
If there is anything special here, it is that the various dry garbage accumulated locally for tens of millions of years are all fragments of materials that can be preserved for a long time, such as pottery fragments, glass, stone, metal, etc.
There is nothing suspicious.
Guangyan looked at the black cloud above.
From time to time, one or two black creatures with strange shapes popped out from it. They looked different. Some had many hands and feet, some were shaped like four-legged beasts, some looked like snakes or birds, and some were even a ball or line.
The fog beasts were the most different things from the outside in Wugang.
Is it because of the influence of the fog beasts?
At Guangyan's request, Jushen gave help. He temporarily dispersed the clouds and fog, allowing the fog beasts to retreat back to the underground carbon city and no longer linger in the Ripple Valley.
The ripple experiment was restarted.
It really became very normal.
However, when doing a comparative test, he found that even with the fog beast by his side, the ripple body still jumped normally.
Was he wrong?
He pondered over it, but could not figure it out.
One day, Guangyan commanded the completion of the 117th ripple experiment, and exhaustedly opened the ice steam stove and took out a copper pot from it. After unscrewing the lid, he leaned over the mouth of the pot and sucked the magic energy.
The magic energy can directly replenish the power of elemental creatures.
However, at this time, he heard a voice.
"Can I eat that?"
Guangyan looked around and found a hand emerging from his shadow under his feet.
The hand waved at him and pointed to the pot in his hand: "Can I eat some of that? I also believe in Lord Yao and Lord Ju."
Guangyan put the pot of liquid magic energy on the ground, and then the black hand touched the mouth of the pot, and a large amount of magic energy was sucked away by it, and his fingers twisted with excitement.
"Thank you."
Guangyan was a little uncertain: "You are... a fog beast?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Why can you speak?"
"I learned it from you. I have observed you for a long time, many years."
Guangyan was shocked.
The fog beast is a life form with hunting desire. Although it is the evolution of carbon people's thoughts, it is still a chaotic beast.
This is a well-known fact.
The fog beast in front of him is beyond common sense.
"I'm so hungry."
The black hand gestured and said: "Can I eat it all?"
"Please."
It began to feast.
After digesting the entire pot of liquid demonic energy, Black Hand clenched his fist and gave a thumbs up: "Thank you, you are such a good person. Without you, I would have starved to death."
Guangyan asked: "Can't fog beasts live for a long time?"
"I don't know, I just feel that I consume energy very quickly. One day I became like this, always very hungry, very hungry. I looked for food everywhere, clouds, fog, and things on the ground. I ate them all, but it was useless. I couldn't fill my stomach."
"Then you came over, and I found the flashing ball. It ran very fast and looked delicious!"
"I finally caught it, but I couldn't digest it after swallowing it. It was too uncomfortable, so I had to spit it out."
The flashing ball, which could not be digested, ran very fast.
Guangyan said carefully: "Is the ball you are talking about jumping and flashing in this valley all the time?"
"Yes, it flies too fast, I have to stay in the valley to catch it."
Guangyan was a little confused.
It turned out that the ripple body was caught by this fog beast, and wanted to eat it, so it disappeared for a short time!
