Chapter 625: Fog Harbor Experiment
When Guangyan first came to Fog Harbor, he saw waste materials and garbage everywhere and thought that it was just as shabby as the rumors said.
It is said that this was once the place where the old god Firefly God made the Lantern Clan, and all kinds of defective and failed products were dismantled and thrown everywhere.
Over the years, the mountain of garbage has risen in altitude until it is large enough to be called a landmass.
In order to further observe the Lantern Clan, the Firefly God slightly modified this place and surrounded it. The gods covered the sky with thick black clouds in all directions. The Firefly God ordered the Lantern Clan to make light crowns and sky lanterns day after day as products for other gods to choose.
Since Yaoshen took over this world, the Lantern Clan is no longer under house arrest. In the underground Carbon City, the Lantern Clan can complete their rebirth safely and easily.
Guangyan stepped on the garbage ground under his feet and found it was quite solid.
Wugang is not a good place.
But if it is really a particularly good place, I am afraid I won’t get the opportunity.
After all, Guangyan is still a criminal serving his sentence.
"Mr. Guang, although Wugang is not as good as many places, the variety of materials here is very rich and we can obtain local materials." Assistant Deng Xi was optimistic.
"Um."
Guangyan nodded: "This place is quiet and spacious, it is very suitable for placing the walker. Let's get started and reorganize and install the device."
At its command, the Lantern Clan and the Bone Ancestors began to get busy.
The five mobile fortresses drove into the designated positions respectively, unfolded the bone display frames and support poles on the fortresses, and fixed the distance and frame between each other.
Then, the Lantern Clan and the Bone Ancestors used crystal pipes and copper bases to connect these extensions into one.
After the installation was completed, 15 shell skeleton computers conducted algorithm testing and trial operation on the stepper.
As the gates opened, the tiny three-colored bugs began to move in the crystal pipes, providing a steady stream of calculation results.
"Input is OK."
"Storage is normal."
"Output is normal."
"The calculation is normal."
All four main functions were confirmed to be normal, and Guangyan ordered everyone to start scanning and importing data.
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, dark cloud thickness, light requirements, etc. of each area.
In the center of Wugang, the Ripple Valley adjacent to the walker is still under construction.
The person in charge of this project is the bone engineer Melebu.
It learned from the apostle Longji, is a researcher and dragon maker at the Academy of Esoteric Arts, and is also one of the founders of the bone dragon.
Guangyan remained polite to the famous Melebu.
"Mr. Melebu, how long will it take for 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, which can be completed in three to five days."
Guangyan breathed a sigh of relief.
"But there are still three more phases to go. The third phase will be filled with wind and light element crystals. Those crystals must be sent over from the Four Abyssal Kingdoms."
"Recently, because Lord Jushen has built three Ripple Valleys in succession, the reserves of these two element crystal structures are a bit tight. But according to previous experience, as long as the Abyss comes over, we can complete the installation and debugging in about fifteen days. But there is no crystal structure now, so we have to wait."
Melebu's words poured cold water on him again.
Guangyan turned his head and thought.
Just go slower.
Anyway, the ripple body experiment cannot be completed in a short time.
"Mr. Guangyan, you are really amazing."
Melebu changed the subject and said with a smile, "In just three years here at Lord Jushen, I have gone from being a pure newcomer to being the person in charge of a regional step-shifter."
Guangyan could only smile awkwardly.
Melebu seemed unaware of his own situation.
Yes, he has been busy doing research and engineering in the research institute all year round, so he may not pay much attention to gossip.
It is a bit magical to think 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 [Double City Armor] invented by White Castle, a new crystal structure has been added, which can seal the elemental power into 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'm from the Resurrection Kingdom, too."
“We’re from the same hometown.”
Meleb was shocked, and then he said happily: "Why didn't you tell me about this? I didn't expect that there would be such a great man like you in the kingdom. The kingdom has lost a great talent!"
Guangyan thought to himself that if I hadn’t run fast, I would have been captured by the Kingdom.
As a light-gathering beast, it is inherently a deadly threat to undead life. After Guangyan was born, he hid from place to place to avoid being discovered by the skeleton army of the Resurrection Kingdom.
If caught, he would be placed in a special city to avoid civilian casualties.
In fact, it means house arrest and imprisonment.
In order to run towards freedom, Guangyan found a Sand City collector and entered Sand City as a resident of the Mystic Kingdom with the introduction of the other party.
As a result, before he could even sit down, he was arrested by agents from the Investigation Bureau.
The reason was identity fraud and suspected illegal entry.
The agent explained his transfer route clearly, which made Guangyan feel his scalp tingling. It turned out that everything about him was under their control.
Guangyan went around in circles and ended up being imprisoned in a different place.
Served three years in prison.
He didn't think much of the fact that he could be sent to jail for martyring his god, but he was more worried about being deported back to the Kingdom of Resurrection.
Just when Guangyan was at his wit's end, Jushen launched a recruitment of computers from all the worlds. Regardless of identity or past, anyone who met the requirements could join Zhuri Bay.
There are two requirements.
One is a creature of light or wind element, or a wizard or scholar who has mastered these two elements.
Second, you must be able to accept uncontrollable risks and high-intensity computing work.
The treatment offered by the God of Ju is to pardon all existing crimes, provide permanent residence in Zhuri Bay, provide all-inclusive food and accommodation, and provide generous salary.
Guangyan filled out the application form immediately.
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.
Only after following the calculator all the way to Zhuri Bay did he realize that the challenge had just begun.
The 33 trainee computers in the probation period need to complete one year of normal work and meet the requirements in both the theory and practical operation of steppers and stepping machines before they can become a qualified computer.
Guangyan worked day and night to study and practice the technology.
For him, this place is much better than being in prison.
Zhuriwan is a very simple place. Computers take turns on duty and can go to other worlds for vacation during their vacations. Although the workday is busy every day, the vacation is very relaxed and the salary is very high.
In the end, only 7 people remained from this batch.
After becoming a formal computer, Guangyan passed the assessment of Ju Shen two years later and won the position of person in charge of the new stepper.
Only then did he know that the God of Ju was personally recruiting people for the purpose of researching and developing a special object called the 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, allowing themselves to have a larger jumping radiation range.
Guangyan has also tried many field tests.
That feeling is weird.
It was like being knocked unconscious by a stick, and when I woke up I found myself digging soil and stones. I had no memory of anything that happened in that short period of time.
Ju Shen equipped calculators like Guangyan with the fourth-generation [Dual City Armor] to facilitate the use of wind and light elements to experiment with ripple bodies.
But Guangyan found nothing.
The only purpose of his use of [Concentration Technique] was to make the ripple body more active.
Not only the light element, but also the wind element is like this.
These two elements can add fuel to the fire, but they cannot control the ripples.
The God of Moment sent down an oracle.
——From now on, we will divide the area and use the stepper to conduct long-term orientation experiments.
Zhuri Bay is divided into three districts.
The central area is presided over by the God of Ju himself, and is also the location of the Zhuri Bay stepper.
A new pot area was built, and the Shell Skeleton Calculator Mumford was in charge of it. He used the area next to the wonder [World Pot] to arrange the steppers and build the Ripple Valley.
The new Wugang District is under the charge of computer Guangyan, and the rest are the same as above.
…
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Melebu's words interrupted Guangyan's thoughts.
"The Ripple Body is truly an amazing thing. It can actually cross world boundaries and travel between many worlds. If we can make it controllable, not only will Lord Jushen give us generous rewards, Lord Yaoshen will also likely look at us differently. The first person to do this will definitely go down in history."
Guangyan couldn't laugh.
How easy is this? The more you understand ripple bodies, the more you realize how difficult this is.
Otherwise, Jushen would not have recruited 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 are consistent with previous results.
The mind is temporarily disconnected from consciousness and the body's behavior is out of control.
Whether it was the elemental fairies, the lantern clan, or the bone ancestors, the result was the same.
Inside the moving device, the tricolor bugs and shell cockroaches were not affected.
This is also a conclusion that has been reached long ago: the more self-aware an individual is, the easier it is to be connected and synchronized. Low-level and simple life forms are unable to grasp and understand complex information and behaviors, and are less affected.
Fortunately, the Ripple Body is now subdued by the power of Lord Yaoshen, so it can be made to move or be sealed.
The three places including Zhuri Bay, Abyss and Dixin Kingdom are all conducting intensive research.
So far, the ripple body is still utilized through the Ripple Valley, in which the number and intensity of the two types of crystal structures, light and wind, are adjusted, and instructions are obtained through the flickering caused by the ripple body on the crystal structure.
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 was suddenly interrupted, as if this special object had temporarily failed.
But not long after, the ripple body regained its connection effect.
Guangyan asked the other two areas and learned that the situation was the same there.
The calculators had their own guesses.
"Perhaps it's because we jumped to a certain area and were restricted?"
"It may also be because the energy consumption is too high? We have been conducting tests on the Ripple Body. Although it is a special object, it also has consumption. It is related to the elemental crystal structure and will consume wind and light elements."
"I don't think so. It's not a difference in intensity or duration, but it just disappears for a while."
"Perhaps Lord Jushen used some kind of divine power?"
…
Guangyan cast his gaze around.
If there is anything special about this place, it is the various dry garbage that has accumulated locally for tens of millions of years, including fragments of pottery, glass, stone, metal, etc. that can be preserved for a long time.
There is nothing suspicious.
Guangyan looked towards the oppressive black clouds.
From time to time, one or two black creatures with strange shapes would jump out. 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 group of spheres or lines.
The fog beast is the most different thing in Fog Harbor from the outside world.
Could it be because of the influence of the fog beasts? At Guangyan's request, the God of Principle provided 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 restarts.
It really became very normal.
However, when doing a comparative test, he found that even with the fog beast at the side, the ripple body still jumped normally.
Was he wrong? He pondered over it, but could not figure it out.
One day, Guangyan Commander completed the 117th ripple experiment, and exhaustedly opened the ice steam stove and took out a copper kettle from it. After unscrewing the lid, he leaned over the mouth of the kettle and inhaled the magic energy.
Demonic energy can directly replenish the power of elemental creatures.
But at this time, he heard a voice.
“Can I eat that?”
Guangyan looked around and found a hand emerging from his own shadow under his feet.
The hand waved towards him, pointing to the pot in his hand: "Can I have some of that? I also believe in Lord Yaoshen and Lord Jushen."
Guangyan placed the pot of liquid demonic energy on the ground, and then the black hand touched the mouth of the pot. A large amount of demonic energy was sucked away by it, and its fingers twisted around in excitement.
"Thanks."
Guangyan was a little uncertain: "Are you... a fog beast?"
"Yes, I think so."
"Why do you speak?"
"I learned it from you. I have observed you for a long time, for many years."
Guangyan was shocked.
Mist beasts are a form of life with a desire to hunt, and although they are an evolution of the thoughts of carbon people, they are still chaotic beasts.
This is a well-known fact.
The fog beast in front of me is beyond common sense.
"I'm so hungry."
Black gestured with his hands and said, "Can I eat them all?"
"Please."
It began to eat with relish.
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: "Don't fog beasts live for a long time?"
"I don't know. I just felt like I was consuming energy very quickly. One day, I became like this. I was always very hungry. I was starving. I looked for food everywhere. I ate from clouds, fog, and things on the ground. It was no use. I couldn't fill me up."
“Then you guys came over and I found the twinkling ball and it was going really fast and it looked delicious!”
"I finally caught it, but after I swallowed it I couldn't digest it. It was so uncomfortable that I had no choice but to spit it out."
The flashing ball cannot be digested and runs very fast.
Guangyan asked cautiously, "Is the ball you are talking about jumping and flickering in this valley?"
"Yes, it flies too fast. I have to stay in the valley to catch it."
The Light Flame Man was a little confused.
It turned out that the Ripple Body was caught by the fog beast, which wanted to eat it, so it disappeared for a short time!
