Chapter 286： Where did they come from?

As one of the main executors of the former “rebellion” plan, Kamal knows the “god” created by this plan, including the first generation of gods and the last generation of mutated gods. The eyelids were finished underneath, so when Tyre gave him a scum of the distort after the purification, he quickly saw the uncomfortable character from the wreckage.

A few simple tests, some parameters that can't be faked, the uneasiness becomes a reality.

“Although there is no more professional equipment that leads me to no way to determine the sequence of genetic factors in the wreckage, the results of the variability are sufficient to conclude that the distortion is a mutation in the 'God',” Carmel said heavily. The power of the magic tide covers the gene expression of the gods... Our plan of the year has terrible loopholes, we underestimate the magnitude of the mutation in the face of the magic tide, and the 'God' genetic factor cannot resist this degree of mutation. , causing the factor carrier to become a monster before adapting to the magical environment."

Kamal has tried to calm down his emotions. However, Gao Wen can still feel the great sorrow in the heart of this ancient magician. He can imagine that Carmel and his colleagues are giving everything for this cause. The price even exceeds the limits that human beings can bear. However, the final outcome is more terrible than failure. Their careers have not saved those who want to save, but turned those people into monsters... even if they think about it. In a moment, Gao Wen felt that he might not be as calm as Carmel in the face of the same blow.

However, he still has to ask his own question: "Do you know what happened to the ‘God’ that you researched after being sent back to the hinterland?”

"The part I am responsible for is limited to R&D. I don't know the follow-up 'application' link, but the details are not clear, but I can guess it," Carmel said slowly. "You are not referring to the outside world. Have you heard the news of the magic tide? So I guess that all is secret. After the 'God' was sent back to the Imperial Capital, the royal family should gradually use the method of centralized immunization to use three centuries. Genetic factors are injected into all human beings and make them a stable genetic factor for humans, because our goal is to save everyone, so every gangster must be a carrier of the gods. ...the endless distortions that emerged overnight after the arrival of the magic wave will have an answer."

Gao Wen thinks that Carmel’s words are probably the truth.

Genetic modification is not a one-step thing. Carmel and his colleagues can transform themselves directly with powerful magic, thus directly turning themselves into a carrier of the gods. However, for the ordinary people of the empire’s tens of thousands of people, This level of transformation is unrealistic (and not confidential enough), so the then royal family could only adopt a secretive and gradual approach, such as transferring the mutant substance to the father and mother, and then letting them down. The first generation became a natural carrier of the gods.

To transform this entire population of the entire empire requires more than one generation of time, but from the completion of the rebellious plan until the magic tide really broke out, there is a three hundred years difference between the three hundred years in the middle, with the technical power of the empire that was enough to complete this A huge plan.

"So what I said... I seem to really think of something," Gao Wen touched his chin and suddenly found some valuable information from his memory. "At the end of the Spark Age, the Empire did suddenly increase the concentration of several residents. Immunization and neonatal examinations at the time were all in order to alleviate the growing problem of elemental assimilation and to select magical adaptors from the neonatal stage... if it is correct, this should be the application of the 'hiccup' program. The stage is over."

Kamal’s tone is low: “This ultimately harms everyone...”

"No, if it is as I expected, then your plan may be actually successful." Gao Wen suddenly looked positive and looked at Carmel seriously.

Carmel looked up a little, and he didn't see the look of deliberate comfort from Gao Wen's face.

"I didn't comfort you," Gao Wen couldn't see Carmel's look, but could think of what the other was thinking. "Your disobedience plan should really work, but it didn't save everyone. Carmel, Have you forgotten that the four kingdoms of humanity are now established by the people who have just left the country."

After saying this, Gao Wen felt that Carmel became brighter.

The ancient magister had a slightly excited tone: "You mean..."

"Many people think that the pioneers of the 700-year-old or the refugees have escaped the first impact of the magic tide, and they will survive in the safe zone before the second impact, but in fact We experienced a complete first and second impact,” Gao Wen said as he recalled. “When we gathered the team, the surrounding natural environment began to mutate, a lot of animals, plants, and even no The earth and stone of life have changed in front of us. The high-energy cloud brought by Chaos Magic Energy gathers on the top of everyone's head. The magic energy surges around the clock. No one escapes the first impact. We are the first. I ran out of an impact."

Kamal flashes: "No one has changed?"

“There are many people who die, die of malignant diseases or elemental poisoning, but no one mutates,” Gao Wen said earnestly. “And there is a very important clue that there are not only human beings in the breakout team at the time, but also many in the magic tide. The races of elves, dwarves, and halflings left in the Gangs are also mixed in our ranks. The deaths of the aliens in the magic tide are several times higher than those of humans, basically except for the middle and high. The power of the ranks can survive seven or eighty percent, and their low-level professionals and ordinary people have died in the first few months."

"So...the 'antibody' still has an effect..." Carmel seemed to mutter, "But why are the people in the empire's hinterland turned into distortions?"

“Perhaps because of the deep blue well,” Gao Wen said of his own thoughts. “The deep blue well produced an explosion one year before the magic tide broke out. At that time, the four main reaction towers exploded two times. Dispersed into the center of the empire, they are like unstable fuels. When the chaotic magic of the magic tide suddenly broke out, the energy of the deep blue well produced a catalytic effect... The 'God' genetic factor may indeed enhance the human resistance. The ability to erode, but its effect is obviously limited."

"If that's the case..." Carmel's tone calmed down, "maybe a comfort."

Gao Wen couldn't help but think of the identity device that was found in the remains of the mountains (the rebellious fortress). At that time, the device explicitly regarded all humans including Gao Wen, Byron and others as "safe and stable." Carrying, but when Amber tried to pass the verification, he rang the alarm. Gao Wen once thought that it was the result of the device damage, but now he guessed the role of the device.

The device does not break down. It does identify a safe and stable carrier. Every human being whose ancestors came from the Gangster Empire is a carrier of the "God".

But even if you understand the origins of the distortions, Gao Wen’s mind is still a lot of doubts about those monsters.

"If the distortions are human variations that carry the genetic factors of the gods, rather than the so-called 'chaotic creatures' produced in the magic tide, then many of their characteristics can't be explained at all," Gao Wen said of his doubts. "For example, when the number of distortions exceeds a certain threshold, chaotic magical energy environment will be generated around them. When the intensity and range of the chaotic magical environment reach a certain level, there will be distortions in the chaotic magic field 'out of thin air'. Produce... How should this be explained?"

If the distortion is a "chaotic creature" and the form of life is similar to an elemental product, then it can be explained by the constant proliferation in the magical environment, but if the distortion is the "regular life" of human variation, they How do you do “out of thin air” like an elemental creature when the environment is right?

This question can't even be answered by Carmel. It is beyond the knowledge of the ancient Magister. The latter can only boldly assume: "Maybe the power of the **** of the gods is working? The gods though It only uses the genetic factors of the giant deer Amoun, but for the gods, stealing its flesh and blood is equivalent to stealing its power. The power of the gods is difficult for human beings to understand. Perhaps this force makes the distortions have some... Not a characteristic of a regular creature."

"In any case, it's too hard to explain the ability to 'produce out of thin air'." Gao Wen shook his head and sighed. "Everything in the wasteland is unknown. No one can guess what happened to those monsters."

After ending the topic about the distortion, Carmel finally remembered the original purpose of Gao Wen to find him. He curiously asked: "Lord, I heard that you designed something?"

"It's a weapon manufacturing program, but I'm not sure if it's not feasible," Gao Wen nodded, picking up the drawings on the desk and handing it to Carmel. "Although the energy weapon has obvious advantages, it faces anti-magic shields and the like. There are also significant shortcomings in things. We still need real-bomb weapons, preferably both weapons, so that we can always maintain an advantage on a complex battlefield."

The lord seems to be an open-minded person, but in fact he is a cautious, well-planned person who never gives the enemy any chance to live on the battlefield. After learning about what Gao Wen has done, Carmel has realized this. So he did not realize that Gao Wen would retain the live weapon weapon and he himself would like to use a variety of weapons and equipment to meet the challenge, so he took the drawings and quickly became interested in it.

"It's still a repulsive organ... Forming an accelerating track with a continuous repulsion structure, this you mentioned before..." Carmel looked at the detailed instructions on the drawing and whispered, "but this time you plan on the shells." Add a hurricane rune?"

“It’s not just that the shells have changed. In fact, the accelerated track section also has a special design,” Gao Wen pointed to the drawing. “I referred to Rebecca’s 'amplifier' idea and added a magic field at the end of the two acceleration tracks. Receiver and load balancer, and use an additional set of runes to introduce this part of the energy into the repulsive mechanism, so that when the gun is fired, all the repulsive organs are equivalent to overload, and their thrust will be greatly enhanced. Acceleration rails, plus the auxiliary power of the shell itself, its range and power will fully meet my requirements and even far beyond a large section."

Carmel couldn't help but question: "Continuous overload? So the life of the magic array will probably be shortened by more than half..."

Gao Wen already knew that the other party would have this question. He smiled slightly: "I think... Many people in the field of industrialized magical devices have fallen into a misunderstanding. Magic masters like you are no exception."

"What misunderstanding?"

"Industrial products are not afraid of consumption. A traditional magical ring of fine craftsmanship can be passed down from generation to generation like a family heirloom. Even for hundreds of thousands of years, it becomes an ancestral treasure with a legendary story. However, things industrialized... From the beginning they were not passed down from generation to generation.

"They are consumables. As long as they have a service life that meets or exceeds actual demand, they are qualified industrial products. Although the longer service life is good, it is just a icing on the cake. It is not essential.

"If it can be used to complete its mission, it is qualified. If it can be used to eliminate the technology, it is a good work. If it can be used in the past, it will be used for several generations... then it will affect the industrial process. , affecting the advancement and replacement of technology.

“Want to know why? The reason is very simple. Industrial products will not only be mass-produced, but also be updated in batches. As long as the industrial chain itself is not a problem, this replacement speed will far exceed the traditional magic and alchemy devices. The product will constantly replace the old things, and it will be better and more practical. Like the magical ring that was a few hundred years ago, the magical ring is still inexhaustible in the new order that I want to build. If we have really created one thing, and it is still a mainstream product for dozens of years, or a pillar in society, then it can only be said... The magical industry led by Cecil is finished."
