Having received the answer, Wang Gang snapped out of his daze and quickly reported on his latest research findings.
"That metal fragment resembles a special integrated circuit, but the materials used are much more advanced, and the symbols and meanings it contains are also exceptionally complex."
As he spoke, Wang Gang took a piece of metal fragment from his assistant.
"Although these lines may not seem like many on the surface, a closer look under an electron microscope reveals that each thick line is composed of countless small loops. This is just a fragment; the full picture should be even more astonishing."
As she spoke, she looked at the knight Fanny beside her.
"Sorry, we would also like to have the complete version, but it wasn't a relaxed environment back then."
Wang Gang could also make that connection.
"There are several hypotheses. First, this metal fragment is the control terminal of some kind of large instrument. Second, the circuit on this metal fragment is itself an action generator. Third, this thing is a decoration."
"The third point is unlikely. The first point cannot be verified at the moment. As for the second point, it is the experiment we are currently conducting."
When talking about his research findings, Wang Gang became excited and his speech noticeably quickened.
"We discovered that although the symbols visible to the naked eye in these circuits are all different, the hundreds of millions of tiny symbols found under an electron microscope are based on only 23 basic symbols. It is these 23 symbols that combine and arrange to form the large symbols visible to the naked eye."
"They are both isolated from and connected to each other, like countless small gears in a machine. It is a magical arrangement and combination, and the connection is more like the effect of attraction and repulsion."
"And they can react to high energy. We simulated a basic large symbol using existing materials, but our integrated materials have difficulty withstanding excessively high electrical loads, so we have not succeeded until now, just as you have seen."
Wu You interjected with a question.
"Why not try using holy silver? I remember that activating holy silver can change its own properties. When there is enough substrate, it is even possible to use holy silver with different properties to draw circuits."
Wang Gang also expressed his agreement.
"I will conduct the experiments on holy silver last, mainly because holy silver is too precious and we cannot afford to consume it."
Wu You, Fanny the vampire, and Bot the vampire almost simultaneously added in their minds: Precious my ass!
“I think you can start directly with Holy Silver, bypassing other experimental materials. I will discuss the consumption and supply with Windsor.”
Wang Gang was stunned for a moment.
"Who is Windsor? Isn't the head of the supply division named Parama?"
Fanny quickly offered an explanation.
"Windsor is the Consul of the Holy See, and this research institute falls under her jurisdiction."
"Haha, that would be perfect."
As Wang Gang said this, he was inwardly astonished. Goodness, the observer was indeed someone important. Instead of asking the homeroom teacher about class issues, he went straight to the principal.
“Aside from the fact that the materials were substandard, we have already achieved some results in the intermediate process.”
"Although the continuous increase in voltage will cause damage to the substrate, those symbols will absorb a certain amount of energy in the process. This has been confirmed by multiple experiments. There is reason to believe that after applying the right materials, they will absorb to a saturation value, and that should be the moment when they show their function."
"Moreover, even with this current level of research, we have already achieved some applied results."
“An integrated circuit board composed entirely of first symbols will begin to generate repulsive forces at voltages exceeding 10,000 volts. These repulsive forces will not only be directed at metals but at all tangible matter. As the voltage continues to increase, the repulsive reaction will continue to intensify until the substrate is damaged.”
"And the more basic symbols integrated, the better the effect."
This is interesting, and Wu You also finds it very interesting.
Wang Gang continued his description.
“If it is composed entirely of the second type of symbols, then, in contrast to the first type, it produces gravity.”
"I think this is related to the efficiency of energy flow. Although it seems bizarre, its principle should be similar to our electromagnetic reaction. It's just that the other party has mastered more advanced scientific knowledge, but it is not unattainable."
"The single combination of other symbols cannot produce observable effects at the moment, possibly because the energy input is insufficient."
Although Wu You wasn't entirely clear on the specific implications of this achievement, he knew from Wang Gang's excited tone that it must be an important discovery.
"Dr. Wang, regarding the original metal plate, is it possible that it was a signal transmitter or a locator?"
"Judging from the symbols on the board, it seems unlikely. But if it is just a control part of a large machine, then that large machine could have this function. But obviously, it is damaged, isn't it?"
After talking with Wang Gang, Wu You got a general understanding of some clues about the metal circuit.
It's unlikely that we can deduce the origin of the aberrant entity from this thing for the time being.
When he said goodbye to Wang Gang and the others and was about to leave, he hesitated but still asked the question that had been nagging at him.
"Your Excellency Observer, I know I shouldn't ask, but I still want to know, you are... um, you belong to..."
Wang Gang himself couldn't quite describe the question. What he really wanted to ask was, "Which guardian force are you from? What are you mainly responsible for? Can you reveal some secrets about the guardian force and the real world to me?"
Asking such a question is a bit like taking a census, which is certainly disrespectful to the observer. Moreover, the combat guards of the Dark Sanctuary are all "silent types" and must follow the "Knightly Code," so they won't tell you anything unless absolutely necessary.
I've heard that people in the foreign affairs agencies are quite talkative, but the nearest branch of the foreign affairs agency is supposedly in Montana. I don't know the way and I don't have time to go there specifically to gossip.
"I know what you want to ask, but it will take you several days to hear all the answers."
Wu You smiled.
“I understand your curiosity. Four hundred years ago, when I first came into contact with all this, I wasn’t much better off than you.”
Four... Four hundred years? Holy crap! This observer is an old monster!
"Hey! Don't curse me in your heart, I'll get angry... Haha, just kidding, it's okay, I'm not a woman, age isn't a problem for me."
Wang Gang was in a very awkward situation, but then he immediately realized: Holy crap, the observer can read minds!
"Don't dwell on these details. Let me answer your previous questions. To put it simply..."
"As my title suggests, I am an observer. You can think of me as a human radar, aware of these crises. I am not usually responsible for combat, but of course, I will intervene in serious situations."
"As for factions, I don't belong to any guardian faction. You'd say I'm 'public property,' hahaha~"
"There are actually quite a few old rascals like me. If you have the chance, go to the World Tree..."
"Ahem! Ahem! Your Excellency the Observer!"
Knight Fanny interrupted the "Observer's" rambling with a loud cough.
"Oh, right, I've talked too much. Well then, Doctor, goodbye!"
After saying that, he left, led by Knight Bot.
Fanny glanced helplessly at Wang Gang, shrugged, and then followed him.
Wang Gang stood there blankly, not reacting, but in reality, his heart was in turmoil.
What is the World Tree? No, that's not important. What's important is the World Tree! The World Tree really exists!
With this bombshell in hand, today was truly a day well spent. Wang Gang clenched his fists excitedly. Although the current satellite images did not show anything that could be called the World Tree, a magnificent vision had already unfolded in Wang Gang's mind.
If I have the chance, I must see the World Tree with my own eyes!
...
Wu You, however, was thinking about something else as he left.
Since we can't target the source of the aberrant beings, it seems we have to cast a wide net to catch fish. At least we should start exploring beyond our own realm and planet. We can't keep waiting for "materials for mortal transformation" to be delivered to our door. You can send them from space, so why can't I?
Wu You neither has the technology for "meteorite troop transport" nor is interested in it, so let's try something different.
