Volume 19 Chapter 196 Twelve Ways and One Insurance
With the detailed information about the energy dissipation array on Persephone, I went directly to the magic array branch of the New World Magic Structure Research Institute, suspended all other magic array research projects here except the natural magic gathering array research project, and then All the personnel were gathered together and began to study this abominable energy dispersion array. In order to let these researchers concentrate, I simply sat here and waited for their research results. And because I was afraid that they would not have enough research materials, I also specially called Xinghuo over and asked her to be responsible for helping them draw the magic circle on the spot. .
With such a large group of elites studying together, the progress of this research is naturally very fast, but considering that what we brought back is only the data we collected and not the original magic array diagram, the difficulty is still quite high.
After more than three hours of research, during which time they consumed research materials worth 100,000 crystal coins, the researchers from our guild finally told me their research results tremblingly.
"No, without putting that magic circle in front of us, we really can't rely on these data alone to determine that our method will be effective."
"You spent more than three hours of research and spent 100,000 crystal coins to come up with such a result?" I almost turned the table off at the answers given by the researchers.
Seeing that I was very angry, Xinghuo couldn't help but stood up and said: "Ziri, please don't get angry yet. It's not that we haven't produced research results, it's just that we can't be sure whether they are effective or not. You asked us to study the collapse magic circle, but They didn’t give us the original pictures, so we have done our best to research these things!”
I thought about it and thought it made sense, so I suppressed my anger, and then said in as calm a tone as possible: "Although I don't understand magic circles as deeply as you do, I still know some basic theories. At least I know that there is an original version. The array diagram is definitely better than just studying the data, so it is my limit to bring you these data. If I can bring the original array diagram, I will definitely bring it over directly without you having to tell me."
The researcher who reported to me said: "Since we can't bring the magic array, we can only bring our plans and try them one by one."
"Then what plan have you come up with?"
After hearing my question, the researcher immediately waved back, and then he saw two researchers running over pushing a cart that was several times larger than the shopping carts used in supermarkets. I was dumbfounded when I saw the pile of things on the trolley. Then I looked at the researcher in confusion and asked, "What is this?"
"This is the solution we prepared for you."
"so much?"
The researcher nodded vigorously and said: "If we weren't in a hurry, we would have prepared more things. But now we are pressed for time, so we have prepared these things for you for the time being."
"Okay, since I have a phoenix dragon, I'm not afraid of too many things. Just tell me how to use these things."
The researcher nodded, then reached out and hugged a disk-shaped object on the trolley. The diameter of this thing is about forty or fifty centimeters, and it looks slightly smaller than the manhole cover of the sewer. However, the thickness of this thing is more than twenty centimeters, and there seem to be many complicated magic array patterns on the edge. On the front of this thing, you can see a circle-like structure like an ancient Chinese copper compass with carvings of Zichou, Yanmao, Wuji, Gengxin. Of course, what is painted on this thing is not those ancient Chinese calendars and the like. They are not things, but some complex lines, which look like miniature magic circles. In the center of the entire disk, a glowing red crystal ball was slowly flashing brightly and darkly, and it seemed that there was liquid flowing in it. As for what the reverse side of this thing is, I don’t know yet because he hasn’t picked it up yet.
The researcher hugged both sides of the thing with both hands, and then lifted it up with force. As a result... there was no reaction. The guy tried twice more in embarrassment. Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and reached out to pick up the thing. But speaking of which, it’s not to blame that guy for being weak. Mainly because this thing is really too heavy. Even though its diameter is not as big as a manhole cover and its thickness is only twenty centimeters, it weighs at least half a ton. Even with my strength, I can clearly feel that it is quite heavy on my hands. For hands like theirs, For incompetent researchers, this weight is indeed too heavy.
After getting this thing, I first turned it over and looked at the structure underneath, but I almost fainted after just one glance. It turns out that underneath this thing is a plane made of fine gold, and on this plane is a dense array of lines and dots, so dense that it almost covers the entire panel.
"what is this?"
"This is an automatic analyzer that our guild specializes in analyzing magic arrays. Its function is somewhat similar to a thief's lock-picking skill, but it is only effective for magic arrays."
I asked in surprise: "You said this thing is equivalent to an automatic magic circle cracker?"
"No, no, no." The researcher quickly corrected: "The one you took has been modified. It has no cracking function. It will only record the structure of the opponent's magic array. With it, you can copy the opponent's magic array, so even if We can start researching even if we don’t have the original picture.”
I nodded and said, "Wouldn't it be over if I told you that you had this? I'll just take it and try it."
The researcher said angrily: "This is extremely sophisticated equipment, and modification is a very complicated process. How can you say that it will be fixed as soon as it is corrected? We have been working on this since we received the task, which is what I just reported to you. It was completed when.”
"Okay, okay, I know this. I'll go over there and use this to copy the magic circle in a while, and then try other solutions, right?"
The researcher nodded and said: "That's right. Use this thing to copy the magic array structure first, and then leave a backup. Then use our solution to reverse crack the other copied magic arrays. If successful, we can use it on the real magic array. If it fails, just stop trying, so as not to cause problems." After the researcher finished speaking, he pointed under the car, and then I realized that there were more than a dozen of these things placed under the car.
"Didn't you say that this thing is difficult to transform? Didn't you just get it done?"
"That's right. This thing is really difficult to transform."
"Then why did you do so much in one go?"
"Because we divided a dozen groups of people, each group is responsible for one, and once it is completed, there will be more than a dozen. Isn't this a very simple matter?"
"Okay, I didn't ask. Then tell me what the other things are for."
After hearing this, the researcher immediately picked up a metal rod that looked like an old-fashioned flashlight and handed it to me. "This is the first option."
I took the metal rod in confusion and looked at it for a long time, but I still couldn't figure out what it was used for. "What is this? A flashlight?"
"This is our first solution. To put it bluntly, it is actually a magic impactor. It can release a super powerful magic impact in an instant, thereby completely destroying the magic array structure. It can be regarded as a brute force attack."
"No, the magic circle is imprinted on the human body. After you violently break the magic circle, it won't work, but people are also killed by you. I broke the magic circle just to save people. What is the purpose of this thing you gave me? Directly kill people or save people?"
The researcher explained: "Violent cracking refers to violently destroying the magic structure of the magic array, not destroying the carrier of the magic array. Moreover, the Boswana wave and Sibis radioactive energy released when the magic bursts out are both lower than the human body." The upper limit of Obona that can resist, and then..."
"Stop it." I quickly stopped the researcher from talking and said, "Can you say something that I can understand?"
Upon hearing this, the researcher immediately looked at me with a disdainful expression that said, "It's terrible to be uncultured." Then he changed his tone and said, "Anyway, you just know that this thing only destroys the magic circle and will never harm the human body."
"Okay, okay, I'll go back and stab this person directly to see if it's of any use."
"No. Do you want to kill someone?" the researcher shouted quickly.
"What are you doing? Didn't you say you won't hurt anyone?"
The researcher said angrily: "What I mean is that the instantaneous shock released by this device will not directly harm the human body, just like the instantaneous current released by the lighter ignition device will not hurt people, but the magic array on the opponent's body will not cause us any harm. Clearly, if the magic circle is designed to self-destruct again, although our impact will not hurt people, the energy released by the magic circle before it is destroyed may hurt the human body. Therefore, we must first use our modified replicator to copy the magic circle. Experiment. When you get there, first put the replicators on that person one by one to copy the structure of the magic circle, and then experiment the plan we provided on the replicator. If the red color on the replicator If the crystal ball turns green, it means that the crack is successful. If the crystal ball changes from flashing to red, it means that the crack not only fails but also activates the magic circle. If the crystal ball still flashes after cracking, , that means that the cracking method is completely ineffective, but it does not cause any negative effects. If the crystal ball bursts, it means that this method will endanger that person's life and must not be used."
I nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. If there is anything else besides this thing, please tell me how to use it. I will take you to try them one by one."
Under the researcher's explanation and guidance, it took me half an hour to figure out all the twelve cracking methods he provided. Each of these twelve cracking methods has its own characteristics. In theory, all of them can unlock the magic circle. possibility, but in order to prevent any eventuality, I had to use replicas to conduct experiments first, so I was given duplicate copies of these twelve devices so that I could use another site for cracking after the experiment was successful.
After teaching me how to use these twelve devices, the researcher took out something that looked like a boxing champion's golden belt and handed it to me: "If all the above twelve cracking methods are useless, then you can use this Give the thing to that person.”
"What is this?" I asked, holding something like a wide belt.
The researcher explained: "This is a solution."
"What do you mean a solution is not a solution?"
"The other way is to say that this thing can relieve the poor man's life danger, but it cannot solve the magic circle."
"what does it mean?"
The researcher thought for a while and explained: "First of all, you must know that this thing cannot break the magic circle. After using it, the collapse magic circle still exists and can still work, so this is not a solution. However, although the magic circle can still It works, but it will not endanger the life safety of the person who is imprinted with the magic circle, so it is not a solution."
"If the magic circle can work, why won't it endanger life safety? Doesn't the energy dissipation magic circle start to disintegrate the health value once it dissipates the opponent's magic power?"
The researcher nodded and said: "You are right. In fact, the energy dispersion array does not consume health points before all the magic power is consumed. It is just that the consumption is relatively low and generally cannot be seen. As for the work of this thing The principle is very simple to say. You can imagine the human body as a reservoir, and the magic power is the water in the reservoir. This energy collapse magic circle is equivalent to a water pump, it will pump the water in the reservoir outward, and if the reservoir If it is not replenished, it will be drained sooner or later. Of course, this specific time depends on the power of the water pump, the water volume of the reservoir, and the replenishment speed of the water volume in the reservoir. The cracking method we used before, whether it is to smash the water pump or to When it is turned off, its purpose is to prevent the water pump from pumping out water so that the water in the dam will not dry up."
I nodded and said, "I can understand this, but how does this belt prevent the water pump from draining water?"
The researcher continued: "The new disk-shaped thing in the middle of this belt is actually a magic energy amplifier with a super strong beam energy barrier. When using it, you just need to keep this thing close to the energy collapse array. When the energy collapses After the magic circle is activated, it will first release magic power, but this thing will restrain the magic power so that it cannot be radiated out. With the magic power amplifier in it, a super-high arc will eventually be formed between the belt and the energy dissipation magic circle. Concentration of the magic field. You have to know that magic actually has pressure, which is the same as water pressure."
When I heard this, I already understood the principle of this thing, so I rushed to say: "You mean this thing is equivalent to adding a greater pressure to the water outlet of the water pump, making the water outlet of the water pump The pressure exceeds its output limit, so it won't be able to draw out the magic power, but will be completely stuck, right?"
"It can't be said that it's completely stuck, it's just that the magic power cannot be continuously drawn out. Because an ultra-high concentration of magic power is applied outside the collapse circle, the pressure has even exceeded the strength of the magic power in the person's body, so the magic power cannot be broken out at all. . Every time the collapsing magic circle is activated to draw out the magic power, the magic power outside will flow back due to the ultra-high pressure. As a result, it cannot be drawn out at all. However, in this process, the magic collapsing magic circle still needs to consume the person's own energy. The magic power moves according to the position, so the person will still consume some magic power, but compared to the magic power dissipated by the collapsing magic circle, this consumption is less than 1%. At the recovery speed of normal people's magic power, I can completely withstand this kind of consumption, so that there will be no life-threatening situations where the magic power is exhausted."
I nodded and said: "So this is really not a solution. Although it does not solve the problem of the collapse of the magic circle, it can at least ensure that life is worry-free."
The researcher said: "President, don't worry too much. This is only the last solution that needs to be used when the previous twelve methods are ineffective. Besides, this is just a makeshift. As long as you use the last remaining When we bring back the copy magic array disk, we can make a large number of copies, and then use various distributions to test one by one. The two most difficult points in cracking the magic array are the fear of damaging the object carrying the magic array and the lack of time. With this belt, the collapse can be limited We can gain time to study the function of the magic circle slowly, and we can copy this magic circle in large quantities, so we can experiment with confidence without worrying about endangering the life of the person carrying the magic circle. There is this Given the conditions, is there still a magic circle that cannot be unlocked?"
That's true when I think about it. The rule in this world is that shields are never as powerful as spears. For example, in reality, the doors to bank vaults and secret bases. As long as you have time and are not afraid of damaging the objects behind the door, which door would you say is absolutely impossible to open? In the same way, no matter how complicated this magic circle is, we can untie it no matter what, if we don't worry about time and hurt people.
After figuring out the functions of all the equipment, I left the institute and ran to Hades' Temple of Hades again. At this time, it had only been more than four hours since I last left. Hades was obviously stunned when he saw me. After activating the shielding device, he immediately asked in surprise: "Why did you come back so soon? Did something go wrong?"
I smiled proudly while pouring the pile of things out of the Fenglong space, and then said: "Our people have found twelve cracking methods, but they are not sure whether they are effective. In addition, I have another one here. There’s no way to break the magic circle, but it’s definitely a way to ensure Persephone’s life is safe.”
Hades immediately became excited when he heard that there were so many methods. According to his idea, one of the twelve methods must be usable, right?
After confirming that I was not lying to him, Hades immediately found Persephone, but this time Persephone was not knocked unconscious. He knocked her unconscious before just because the matter was still unclear. Hades was afraid that Persephone, with her simple personality, would not be able to deceive anyone and would be discovered by Zeus. But now that I have said that twelve methods will not work and there is a final insurance, he Naturally, I felt relieved to let Persephone know the whole thing.
"Okay Miss Persephone, please lie down on the sofa. I will let my magic pet help you copy the magic circle, and then we will pray together that at least one of the twelve methods will work."
