Chapter 612: The Huge Faraday Cage
A Faraday cage is a protective shielding device invented by physicist Michael Faraday. Simply put, it is a metal cage.
This type of metal cage is not difficult to make, but that is only when it is small in size.
It is actually very troublesome to manufacture such a huge Faraday cage. The distribution of steel bars must be planned in advance when pouring concrete.
The main function of a Faraday cage is to prevent electromagnetic interference, and it is generally only used in experiments with very high-end precision equipment. Castel's research progress is still a long way off.
Why go to the trouble of building such a massive Faraday cage here?
"Lord, you are here!"
As soon as he entered the test site and the door behind him closed, Hughes saw Richard coming to greet him, his face full of excitement.
"I didn't expect it to be successful today. I just came from the hospital and received this good news!"
"Don't get excited. Let's start from the beginning. There's no need to rush." Hughes said with a smile, following Richard towards a huge metal device in front. "I remember you said last time that you encountered some inexplicable interference during your electrical experiment, right?"
"Yes! I used the coil to cut the magnetic flux lines according to your method, but no matter how I control the speed and other variables, the current generated keeps fluctuating!"
"This fluctuation will seriously affect our research."
"I remember that this kind of fluctuation can be recorded and analyzed?"
"Yes, and it's not difficult to analyze, but" Richard's face showed a hint of fear, "what we've found is completely incomprehensible and extremely contaminated. One of our researchers went into permanent madness after just one look. This is the incident I reported to you last time."
"Maeve, I know her." Zeus nodded heavily. He had been paying attention to this matter for a long time and also participated in the investigation.
She was a native of Castel, graduated from the advanced class with top grades, and was admitted to the graduate school as an exception. She had a bright future, but who would have thought that she would fail here.
This was the first person Castel had driven mad due to his research.
Neither Richard nor the other researchers had anticipated this accident.
You have to know that Maeve is not an extraordinary person, but an ordinary person.
Ordinary people have an advantage when doing research that extraordinary people cannot match: they are more resistant to pollution.
Pollution is a very strange thing. The more you know about it, the easier it is to be polluted by it. This is the cognitive barrier.
Mortals' understanding of pollution is nothing more than understanding its various characteristics, but extraordinary people are bound to come into contact with the sea of unconsciousness, where knowledge floats. Knowledge and pollution are two sides of the same coin.
Therefore, the resistance of extraordinary people who have personally come into contact with pollution is far weaker than that of ordinary people, and their cognitive barriers to this have basically disappeared.
In Castres, the situation is different.
For some reason, Hughes's resistance to pollution seemed to affect the area around him. From Castel to Blood Harbor and then to the outside world, people's resistance to pollution was gradually weakened.
In other words, the Castells are more resistant to pollution.
Under so many conditions, it was actually relatively risky for Castel's mortal researchers to touch the pollution. No one expected that Maeve went crazy the moment she saw the information on the paper.
"How is she doing?"
"She's still the same as before. She's completely lost her mind. We had to restrain her. She's still in the hospital. There's currently no treatment available."
Hughes sighed.
Scientific research is always accompanied by accidents and sacrifices, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
"What happened to the note with the information on it?"
"Only the wreckage remained. It appeared to be charred, and the contents were unrecognizable. From that point on, interpreting the information contained in the current became strictly prohibited."
"Even so, research on electric current has stalled. Even without analysis, the strange fluctuations in the current will slowly become contaminated and corroded by anyone who approaches and studies it. There's also a certain chance of cognitive interference, making it extremely dangerous."
"I've heard of evil spirits living in electric currents before, but I didn't expect it to be so dangerous. I should have gone and checked it out earlier."
Zeus has a golden throne and can purify pollution. His body may be destroyed, but he has never encountered any existence that can affect his soul.
Even if the evil god came to chat with him in person, it is hard to say who would go crazy first.
"Please do not say such things again. We will not risk losing you under any circumstances, my lord. You are too important to Castel."
Richard's face straightened.
Indeed, if something happened to Zeus, apart from anything else, those secret societies that openly or secretly worshipped him as a god would probably go crazy on the spot, and it is hard to say whether the entire Castel would fall into turmoil or even split. Zeus is now the soul of Castel.
The soul of all things must be put at the back.
Xius waved his hand: "Let's not talk about this for now. Was it resolved later?"
"Solved! It turns out your method is quite effective!"
Richard became visibly excited when he mentioned this. He looked at Hughes with admiration and said, "How did you come up with this? This is amazing! This 'Faraday cage' can actually isolate evil things from electric currents!"
People in this world find it almost impossible to study electric current due to the evil that exists in it.
Even if they set up a test site at all costs, they would not be able to obtain data without interference. People in this world would even think that electric current should be unstable, simply because they have never seen it without interference.
If you don’t even know that you are being interfered with, how can you imagine developing a Faraday cage to block interference?
Richard looked at Zeus, his heart filled with indescribable shock and awe. How on earth did his lord discover this?
He didn't even dare to think deeply about it.
Hughes realized that building a Faraday cage was actually very simple.
When I first heard about Maeve's story, I realized something was wrong.
This strange fluctuation in the electric current is definitely abnormal. Any engineer on the Blue Planet has the most basic knowledge of magnetism and electricity, so he immediately suspected that there was some kind of interference.
Considering the statement that "there are evil things in electric current", he had a bold guess.
Perhaps the evil is not in the electricity, but in the air of this world.
For example, electromagnetic waves.
Hughes suspected that there were electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency in the air, which would affect the magnetic field and further cause the current induced in the magnetic field to change.
Although he didn't know how the evil god of this world existed, if it was about shielding electromagnetic waves, Zeus had a standard answer:
Faraday cage.
