Chapter 1300 The Third Phase of the Experiment, [Negative Energy Control]

If Xia Duo were to recruit people himself, he might not be able to find volunteers who were at least high-level mages. They were already living well, so why would they want to participate in such a dangerous research?

And they would be guinea pigs for research!

Even if someone was willing to come, what would the price be?

How much would it cost to buy out the future life, or even the life, of a high-level mage!

Moreover, how could it be possible that only one volunteer was needed!

Dean Bernie was willing to provide volunteers, which was undoubtedly the best news for Xia Duo, and then the good news continued.

Special energy supply lines with no time limit or quantity limit, experimental facilities that can be added at will, and experimental materials that can be applied for approval.

Such convenient conditions made Xia Duo think of making magic chips again, but the experimental materials were more purification potions, healing potions and the like.

There was also mithril, but it was mainly used as maintenance materials for facilities and equipment in the laboratory. It was not easy to get enough from it for chip experiments.

However, Xia Duo also had other ways to achieve this goal by establishing multiple related projects with a high demand for mithril.

He still needs to think carefully about the specific details, but he already has this idea.

…

Dean Bernie is very efficient. On the second day, the venue, personnel and materials required for the "Negative Energy Degradation" project were all in place.

The first batch of volunteers were not living people, but five corpses.

The goal of the first stage of the project is to let the negative energy flow through these five corpses without causing more serious consequences, such as flesh atrophy, bone mutation, and undeadization.

This requires changing the external manifestation of negative energy, or precisely controlling its scope of action.

The difficulty is still not small, but with an almost unlimited supply of corpses, the fifteen researchers can realize any idea in their hearts one by one.

In this way, it took less than ten days for the project team to complete the goal of the first stage.

The 5th ring spell [Negative Energy Control] is the most important achievement of this stage. This spell can not only change the external manifestation of negative energy, but also accurately control the scope of negative energy.

It's a pity that negative energy is negative energy after all. No matter how it changes or how it is controlled, it is still difficult to eliminate the negative effects on life, even a corpse.

Although the goals of the first phase of the project were not completed perfectly, we can enter the second phase - living people, and they are all high-level mages!

When Xia Duo saw that the volunteers were corpses at first, he thought that even if they were living people in the second phase, they would not immediately use high-level mages, but he did not expect Dean Bernie to be generous.

Perhaps because of the effect of the first phase, high-level mages were directly used in the second phase.

However, when seeing the first batch of five volunteers in the second phase, Xia Duo could not help but sigh that he was still too young.

The first batch of volunteers in the second phase were indeed five high-level mages, but they were affected by the [Negative Energy Corrosion] of the elves and were high-level mages in a dying state.

In this state, the high-level mages have lost consciousness and cannot cast spells. Even if they are dead, they cannot be resurrected.

Perhaps Dean Bernie wants to make use of waste, or he wants to treat a dead horse as a living horse. In short, the five volunteers sent this time are in this state.

Although the excess negative energy in them has long been removed, the influence left by the negative energy erosion is difficult to eliminate, and correspondingly -

They also have a more special state with high resistance to negative energy.

This allowed the experiment to be conducted in a more bold manner, but thanks to the results of the first phase, none of the five high-level mages who had already lost consciousness in the first batch had their conditions deteriorate.

In fact, it is normal to think about it.

Compared with the unstable state of corpses, living people are in a relatively stable state of elemental balance, even if this balance is deformed.

In this way, the second phase was completed at almost the speed of flying. The five volunteers were just delivered in the morning, and in the afternoon, Xia Duo notified Dean Bernie's students to send people to pick them up.

The third phase is the highlight of the entire project, which requires high-level mages or great mages in good condition to participate in the experiment.

This is also very stressful for Xia Duo and others. After all, they are living people. They may be talking to you normally in the previous second, and they may die suddenly in the next second.

"Everyone has been busy for almost ten days. Take a day off first, get your spirits up, adjust your state, and continue the experiment the day after tomorrow." Although the possible death during the experiment is inevitable and allowed, I still hope that everyone will have more respect for life. If possible, you should prioritize preserving the lives of volunteers instead of wantonly using your imagination." When the experiment reached the living stage, Xia Duo discovered this trend. He was not sure whether it was the impact of negative energy on the experimenter, or whether such an experiment triggered the evil thoughts that the experimenter himself might not have noticed. But he had to remind everyone that ignoring life was equivalent to disrespecting oneself. At the same time, this was also his warning to himself. The projection plane was certainly a dream for him, but the experiences and experiences in it were real. If he indulged himself here, how could he continue to stick to his bottom line when he returned to the main plane? The so-called self-discipline probably refers to this situation.

Of course, using project cover to gain some benefits from the institute is far from touching Xia Duo's bottom line.

At least in his opinion, his contribution is fully worthy of the institute's efforts.

Equivalent exchange is not a literal numerical equality, but an equal value judged based on respective values.

For some values ​​that are difficult to quantify, it is all about one intention.

If Chateau thinks it is equivalent, then it is equivalent; if he thinks it is not equivalent, then it is not equivalent.

…

After all, we couldn't continue the chip trial production. Otherwise, we were just too busy.

Even if he could dig out the mithril needed for the experiment, Xia Duo didn't have the time or energy to do that.

Out of concern about time loops, he needs to check the progress of various projects in the collaborative laboratory every day to avoid suddenly encountering time loops and missing some key information.

Now there is the "negative energy downgrade" project, which takes up most of his time.

Even on this day off, he still has to think about the direction of the next experiment and related details, and from time to time he has to exchange ideas with his assistant researchers.

There is also Samuel, who also needs to contact Chateau from time to time.

After this day's rest, Xia Duo felt more tired than if he had not rested at all. Of course, he also enjoyed it and never tired of it.

Late at night, he finally wrote down some inspiration on paper that might be used tomorrow, drank a bottle of purifying potion, and then hurriedly packed up and went to rest.
