Chapter 687 Modular Ritual
Xius felt a black screen before his eyes.
Is this the same electricity as bioelectricity? That's a person, not an electric eel!
Besides, electric eels don’t generate electricity using pollution in their bodies, right?
How come Tata has such a unique idea? What can he research?
"Unfortunately, I've encountered some bottlenecks." Tata shook his head. "The pollution in my body seems to be extremely stubborn and cannot be easily converted into electricity."
Hughes breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I solved this problem."
"It's okay. Since you can't figure it out, just leave it alone. There's no rush to research this. You should go and do your work first. Wait, what did you say?"
"It's solved, Lord, I found a solution!" Tata looked excited.
"I thought, since the pollution in the body is so stubborn, could I use something to activate it?"
"Isn't this a coincidence? Lightning can activate pollution!"
"I wondered if I could run electricity through the human body, would that work?"
At this point, Tata sighed, "Unfortunately, most of the experiments I conducted based on this failed. It consumed a lot of coyotes, as they couldn't withstand the lightning. I was about to give up."
"but!"
Tata stepped aside and let the silent priest, who was blackened by the electric shock, come to the front.
"Thanks to the selfless help of these priests, my experiment was able to proceed, and I successfully achieved human body power generation!"
Everything went dark before Xius’ eyes again.
He thought Tata was researching the application of electricity - there was nothing wrong with that, and even taking some detours was acceptable. How could scientific research succeed directly?
Moreover, this is a mature route, at least it has been successfully tried on Blue Star. In Xius's expectation, he has pointed out the direction, and these R&D personnel just need to charge forward.
The creations of the electrification age can surpass those of the steam age in both scale and sophistication. Although steam engines are romantic, they are best displayed in museums.
As a time traveler, Xius must want to climb the technology tree as quickly as possible.
But the problem now is that this technology tree is getting weirder and weirder.
"Instead of using the huge amount of pollution to generate electricity, you use the human body to generate electricity." Zeus didn't know what to say. Besides, it would be fine if Tata was just messing around, but why did the Silent Temple get involved?
Isn't the Temple of Silence notoriously conservative? Seeing such a new creation, shouldn't they denounce it loudly and pray in fear?
Zeus glanced at the silent church priest on the side, who was excitedly communicating with his companions - his companions also looked miserable, as if they had crawled out of a stellar furnace, and their bodies were black except for their teeth.
Their words drifted into Hughes' ears.
"How's it going? How does it feel?"
"It feels so good. When the electricity passes through my body, I feel numb and painful, just like being whipped. The muscles all over my body are constantly trembling, and the pollution accumulated in my body instantly comes alive. That feeling, wow~"
"Really?"
“So great?”
"Shock me too!"
Hughes' eyes widened as he listened to the broken words.
How come these people love to commit suicide so much? Can being electrocuted be enjoyable?
Zeus didn't know about this. Due to their unique immortality, the [Buried] of the Silent Temple had some slightly different concepts from ordinary people.
To put it simply, because they will not die, they are not afraid of death, and are therefore more or less eager to do things that will lead to their own death.
These burials were usually well behaved because Patriarch Ignatius was watching over them, but now Ignatius has gone to the North.
All of Hughes's impressions of the Undertaker came from Nora. She was an extremely serious and rigid person, but she had not been the Undertaker for long.
And there are always some outliers in every group, just like there are reliable people like Ash among the Banshees.
Hughes was misled by Nora.
Tata coughed lightly, looking embarrassed. "Well, well, I'm short of some volunteers for my experiment. I was planning to ask Nora to help, but Nora's been arguing with her body lately, and things aren't going well. And I need a complete body for my experiment."
Indeed, if the human body generates electricity, there must be a human body, right?
A half-baked person like Nora is not suitable.
"But Nora introduced her companions!" Tata's expression was obviously a little excited. "They really are super perfect volunteers!"
That is indeed perfect. [The Buried] highlights the fact that one does not care about life, and does not care whether one lives or dies, as long as the experiment succeeds.
As long as their bodies are not damaged to a certain extent and have not been beheaded like Nora, they can be healed slowly.
Zeus looked at the group of [Entombers] in front of him who were discussing enthusiastically and looking at the test site eagerly. He turned back to look at the Banshee following him and suddenly shuddered.
Why does he have a bad feeling?
"Forget it, let's see what you come up with first."
Tata stepped aside to make way and led Xius and his party into the testing ground.
The protection standards of the test site here are quite high. After all, electricity and pollution are very close in this world, so it is surrounded by high walls.
But this is still an open-air test site after all, and they are going to test the storm generator. After following Tata into the test site, the first thing Xius saw was the familiar ceremonial arrangement.
A lot of supernatural powers were used in the storm generator, at least in the ritual. The ritual circuits etched on the metal plate were not much different from the last time I saw it, but the carrier was a little different.
"These metal plates?"
"Oh, that's right, my lord. I found the storm generator a bit cumbersome to move. Every time I want to move it, I have to rearrange the rituals. So I etched these rituals directly onto the metal plates, and they can be spliced together when needed."
Tata said, pointing at the metal plate.
"Moreover, most of the extraordinary rituals are interconnected. For example, the rune on this board means [enlarge], which is very common and is also used in other rituals. That's it." Tata waved his hand, and several assistants pushed open a door panel next to them.
I saw various metal plates hanging on the walls in different categories, with splicing structures on the edges of the metal plates.
"I've also designed these ritual circuits in a modular way. All the module interfaces are universal, so even someone with absolutely no ritual training can still piece together a ritual by following the operating manual."
"My Lord, do you know what this means?" Tata said excitedly.
"This storm generator was built using supernatural powers, but it was set up by mortals. They are all mortals. There is not a single supernatural being, and no one understands the supernatural."
"Our engineers have completed this extraordinary ritual!"
