Chapter 477 Candidate Confirmation
The Great Confinement Array is the huge magic array in the center of the Life Laboratory.
When Fang Yu and Youzi just discovered this life laboratory, the huge creation chamber "Mother Nest" (Chapter 170) that had been shattered into pieces was placed on the central magic circle.
Originally, Fang Yu thought that this magic circle was used to maintain the operation of the "mother nest" and the creation capsule, but after Yuzi's research, he found that the function of maintaining the operation of the creation capsule only accounted for a very small part of this magic circle.
In the magic array, more than 90% of the array patterns have only one purpose, which is to confine.
Imprison the things cultivated in the "mother nest".
And this huge confinement formation is actually a nine-ring formation!
A nine-ring magic circle that can imprison all extraordinary creatures below level 20!
After discovering this, combined with the scale of this "mother nest" and some clues at the scene, Yuzu almost went crazy.
This Adrian and Lisia Lafrenk are creating extraordinary creatures above level 17!
This is a serious violation of arcane ethics!
In fact, it is not just the creation of supernatural creatures above level 17 that is illegal. Any attempt to create supernatural creatures is a serious crime that is not allowed by the Federation of Arcane Law.
Reporting is discouraged during the Age of the Great Arcana, but this only applies to ordinary crimes.
If the discoverer of the serious crime of creating extraordinary creatures does not report it, he will be imprisoned in the Meditation Well and deprived of his arcane rights for one to ten years.
This alone shows how serious this crime is.
There's a reason why the Arcane Union is so cautious about creating supernatural beings.
Seven hundred years before the Great Arcane Age, that is, in BR713, the court wizard of the Yellow Sand Empire on the Tarens plane created a level 1 extraordinary creature that could transform the desert into arable land in order to control the desertification of the main planet.
This creature is called the "sandworm", and the court mages hope to use its powerful devouring and transformation abilities to quickly restore the barren desert into fertile land.
Sandworms can devour sand and transform it into fertile black soil. They have extremely strong reproductive abilities and can reproduce rapidly as long as they are exposed to enough sand and sunlight.
In the first few years, this creature, less than three centimeters long, performed perfectly, quickly transforming the desert into an oasis and ushering in an unprecedented period of prosperity for the Yellow Sand Empire.
But the court mages overlooked one point.
Random variability in organisms.
At first, these worms, which were less than three centimeters long, only devoured sand. When all the sand was devoured, most of the sandworms died due to lack of food, as the court mages had anticipated.
But there were too many sandworms. During the reproduction process, perhaps only one sandworm of who knows how many hundreds of generations mutated and developed the ability to survive by gnawing on rocks. So after all the deserts disappeared, it survived by gnawing on rocks and began to reproduce continuously.
At first, the mages did not discover this.
It was not until 150 years later that the arcane wizard discovered that the descendants of this mutated sandworm had spread all over the main planet of Tarrens and had gnawed holes in the crust of the main planet.
And these sandworms are still continuing to reproduce!
The expansion of biological populations is exponential.
According to the calculations of the mages, in less than ten years, the earth's crust will no longer be able to support itself due to the black soil and will begin to collapse.
By then, volcanoes will erupt, plates will move, the entire planet's crust may collapse, and the entire planet will be covered with magma, making it completely uninhabitable for humans.
The most terrifying thing is that with the development of plane trade, the sandworms quickly spread to other planes along the caravans and plane channels.
The tiny level 1 sandworm turned out to be a terminator that could destroy all civilizations in all planes.
Finally, under the organization of the "Arcane Alliance", the predecessor of the Arcane Federation, 15 legendary wizards first used "Bloodline Tracing" to mark the sandworms in all planes with arcane magic, and then used the 12th-level arcane item - "Truth", paying the price of three legendary spellcasters losing one level, and only then did they destroy all the sandworms and sandworm eggs, eliminating this world-destroying crisis.
This incident also became one of the opportunities for the establishment of the Austrian Law Union.
Grapefruit is an arcane life in the form of an arcane prop, not a supernatural creature. A so-called living being can only be called a living being if it has reproductive characteristics.
After Yuzu discovered this, it flashed like an alarm light, and the laws in her body automatically started to work, reporting to the Arcane Federation through the magic network.
It was only then that Fang Yu discovered that this guy actually had the backdoor program of the Austrian Magic Federation in his body.
He now knows nothing about the so-called laws and has no ability to remove the backdoor of the laws. However, the Arctic Federation has disappeared for 16,000 years and even the ruins no longer exist. If there is a backdoor, there must be a backdoor.
The Arcane Federation claims to advocate arcane freedom, righteousness and morality, but they add backdoors to arcane items and secretly monitor other mages. They are both hypocritical and righteous, which is really disgusting!
What? You're saying the Orange model also has a backdoor?
That is to prevent bad guys from controlling AI and causing an intelligent machine crisis that harms society and destroys the world, do you understand?
Fang Yu and Youzi also speculated about what Adrian was cultivating in the "mother nest", so that the "big confinement array" was needed to confine the cultures in the "mother nest".
Fang Yu once had a wild idea that such a large creation chamber might be used to cultivate "dragons"?
To this end, Yuzu consulted all the records they could collect about the current main plane, and found no mention of the existence of extraordinary creatures like "dragons".
Neither the Western dragon nor the Eastern "dragon" has it.
But it's normal to think about it. After all, it has been 16,000 years, and legends don't have such a long lifespan.
If the thing Adrian created was just one and had no reproductive ability, its bones would probably have weathered away by now.
Moreover, whether a living organism can survive is a low-probability event, even for the most powerful individual organisms.
Therefore, Fang Yu simply used this "big confinement array" as a "safe zone" for testing the full-scale tokamak.
Although nearly a thousand magic crystals are consumed every day to keep the Great Confinement Array open, Fang Yu, who has acquired a cultured diamond manufacturer, said that this is no big deal.
With the full utilization of Ohga Seiko's production capacity, it can produce more than 400 carats of gem-grade cultured diamonds every day, equivalent to 1,500 magic crystals.
After being acquired by Youzi Technology, through new capital injection and the use of AI to improve production management models and production processes, Fang Yu set a short-term goal for the Dahe Seiko management team: to double production within six months and quadruple production within a year.
After sealing the bead with the "Great Confinement Array", Fang Yu went to the Nambis Mountains to mine for a few days and dug out nearly 10,000 tons of superconducting slag "secret silicon" and cyber steel. Only then did he switch back to Blue Star.

"Yeah, yeah, Hollywood is still a mess. These past few months have been a state of unemployment for us. Last week, Carter came to me very seriously and said, 'Hey, Scarlett, I need to talk to you.'"
Scarlett, who had regained her blonde hair and was wearing a white vest dress, sat diagonally on the guest sofa and told jokes vividly while Jimmy Fallon, who was sitting behind the host desk, told jokes opposite her.
"I said, 'OK, what are we talking about?' Carter said, 'Scarlett, you may not like the notice I gave you yesterday. I admit that this job is low-level, I admit that this job has no meaning, and I admit that the staff there are all assholes. But! But, you have to know that you haven't had a new job for two months!'"
Scarlett paused, waited for the audience's reaction, and continued: "I said, 'Carter, I'm not refusing to work, but what are the benefits of the new notice? Can you find one? As long as you can name one, I will agree to the notice you arrange.'"
Jimmy Fallon said with a focused and genuine smile: "And then?"
Scarlett's agent, looking as if he was trying to come up with an excuse, said, "Carter thought about this for three minutes. Really three minutes, because my egg steamer had exactly three minutes left on its timer."
"I had almost forgotten about it and was just putting on my gloves to pick up the eggs when Carter suddenly said, 'Ha, there's one good thing! It's very close to your house! It's only a 15-minute walk!'"
Jimmy Fallon laughed: "That's a very practical benefit."
Scarlett nodded, adjusted her tone, and faced the audience, feigning anger as she delivered a punchline: "So, I'm here today!"
Scarlett slammed the table angrily after each of the last four words.
The audience burst into laughter.
Jimmy Fallon's iconic look of lying on the table and unable to stop laughing.
"Alright, alright, OK, I have to cut that part off, hahahaha."
Jimmy Fallon wiped away tears that seemed to be there, as if for real: "Okay, as an asshole, I'm going to ask some really asshole questions. It's October now, and there are only three months left until the election. The candidates for both parties have been determined. Which one do you support more?"
Jimmy Fallon turned the topic to the most talked-about election issue right now.
Scarlett looked embarrassed and gritted her teeth. "I think I'm not familiar with either of them. Elizabeth is from Massachusetts, and Thomas Cotton is from Kentucky. Frankly, I didn't know much about them before. Actually, I was very supportive of the third-party candidate a few months ago. I thought they would have a chance this year, but after the re-primaries, they still didn't make it through. It's a bit regrettable."
Jimmy Fallon laughed and poked a hole: "Indeed, this year's election is a complete mess. Many people can't even name the new candidates from the two camps. Was voting difficult for you? Have you ever considered not voting?"
Scarlett reacted quickly, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Of course I will vote. I have never missed a vote. Voting is not difficult for me. I just leave it to God."
"Lord?" Jimmy Fallon looked surprised. "I've never heard you talk about your faith. We know you're half Danish and a quarter Rakshasa. Do you believe in God?"
Scarlett Johansson smiled as usual: "I believe in the Lord."
