Chapter 998： Unstable

In Cecil, priests do not necessarily know the light, and nuns do not necessarily heal. Stalkers usually use two-handed swords and power sap. Even the peak of appearance from the elves may be a bald man in nature-in summary. As mentioned, it is natural that a "singer" can't sing.

But Gawain stood still thinking for a long time, and still felt that there was something wrong with this...

But it's not right, right? Anyway, there are not many normal styles of things on this land-he has seen the cyberpunk dragon kingdom, and at this moment, Gao Wen's compatibility with painting style issues is unprecedentedly high.

No matter the style of painting is right or not, it works.

He looked at the young tester in the center of the test site. The latter was connecting the rune boards and testing the magic terminal with the help of several technicians. Another technician came to a nearby safe deposit box. In order to carefully take out a spine-like device with silver-white metallic luster-nerve thorns from the box.

A technician came to Wendy's side. He first saluted Gao Wen, and then reported to Wendy Hui: "The tester's equipment has been inspected and the personnel and equipment are in good condition, ready for experimentation."

Wendy nodded and glanced at Gawain, who hummed, "Then start the test... let me see how you have done so far."

"Start connecting the nerve thorns," Wendy immediately turned to the assistants, "prepare the nerve signal amplifier and helmet!"

The technicians started to work one after another. Gawain saw that the technician with the nerve thorns came to the center of the field and carefully attached the silver-white metallic "artificial spine" to the tester's back neck contact. , Another technician came over with a weird-looking helmet. The helmet was made up of several layers of metal sheets. The most peculiar thing was that it even completely covered the position of the eyes, and then others began to activate the surrounding Various test equipment and safety devices.

They obviously did this more than once, and in just a few minutes, they were ready for the test.

The technicians left the center of the field one after another, leaving only the young tester standing on the spot. The nerve thorns behind his head were hanging quietly behind his back. The strange helmet covered his eyes and skull. Behind the helmet The part has a soft material and the connection end of the nerve thorns closely connected-he is waiting for further instructions, and in the meantime, Wendy explained the role of these equipment to Gawain: "We specially designed a This kind of nerve thorn, it is more sensitive than the conventional model, can make the psionic singer perceive the abnormal mental pollution acutely, but it also causes a certain mental burden, so ordinary people need to be trained to withstand the extra perception brought about pressure……

"The Psionic Singer's suit has a series of resonance substrates, which can be used to release specific high-frequency or low-frequency magic shocks under the control of the nerve thorns. The effect of the'Song of the Deep' is spread out in this way. To further enhance its effect, we also designed a set of three neural signal amplifiers-the amplifiers are not activated yet, you will see them later.

"...There are a large number of nerve contacts in the helmet to further enhance the efficiency of the connection between the psionic singer and the suit, and it also has a certain protective effect..."

Gao Wen listened silently, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Why do you use armor pieces on your helmet to block your eyes?"

"...In order to prevent confusion," Wendy said with a serious expression, "During the test, we found that the perception of psionic singers will not only be greatly enhanced, but also produce various'supersensory phenomena' that are different from humans. , This involves a very complex neuro-soul interaction process. From the results, this super-sensing makes the vision of psionic singers mutated, they will see many... things that should not be seen, and these Things are likely to bypass the mental protection and penetrate their intellectual barriers.

"After all, although psionic singers are soldiers fighting against mental pollution, they are still mortals themselves. Once the protection is penetrated, they are not much stronger than ordinary people.

"So we designed this kind of visual suppression device-those armor pieces not only physically block the user's vision, but also temporarily shield the brain's processing of visual signals through the neural contacts built into the helmet, which can maximize Limit the prevention of mental pollution caused by visual pollution. This is much more effective than'close your eyes'."

Heidi on the side couldn't help but cut his mouth: "Then their vision..."

"Please don't worry," Wendy laughed. "Although the eyes are blocked, the psionic singer can actually'see' it."

While talking, she raised her hand and beckoned the young man in the center of the test site, who immediately raised her head and beckoned in response-as if his vision was not affected at all.

"Yes, I can'see' it," the young tester said with a smile, his nervousness seemed to have completely eased, "and it's clearer than seeing with eyes."

Gao Wen suddenly became curious: "What is the world in your eyes?"

"It's... difficult to describe. I can see everything in all directions at the same time, including the back and the ground under my feet," the young tester thought for a while and said seriously, "This is a direct perception, all information will be directly It appears in my mind. But almost nothing I see has color, only various degrees of gray, which takes some time to adapt."

"The only'color' that the psionic singer can see in this situation is the'color' of mental pollution," Wendy explained beside him, "This is the conclusion that Naritil helped to conduct the simulation test— —But the actual effect has to be tested in actual combat. After all, Naritier is no longer truly'polluting.' It is uncertain how the divine power she simulated is different from the divine nature in the real world."

Gawain nodded clearly, and then exhaled slightly: "I understand, can I go to the next step now?"

Wendy immediately raised her head to look at the tester in the center of the field: "Mr. Ex, are you ready?"

The young man called Ax raised his hand and made a ready gesture: "You can start anytime."

"Then activate your suit-start with the three nerve signal amplifiers stored in the room," Wendy nodded and said, "The others are ready to start recording monitoring data, and are ready to provide magic countermeasures at any time!"

Wendy's voice fell, and the tester in the center of the venue had already started to move-he moved a certain joint on the magic terminal, and then the surface of the suit suddenly flowed through a halo of magic, accompanied by a gradual increase. Magic reaction, his whole person seemed to lose the restraint of gravity and began to slowly float in the center of the field!

After a few seconds of floating, he waved his hand outside the field.

On a table in the corner of the laboratory, three diamond-shaped metal devices about the length of the forearm immediately flew up. They went straight past the staff on the scene and came behind the tester, accompanied by the tester’s hand. In action, these metal devices unfold their respective mechanical structures, blooming like some kind of hard-lined flowers, and there are fine golden sparks jumping and flickering among the "leaves", making a crackling sound. Then they began to undulate around the tester again, like some kind of flexible creatures.

This scene made Gawain's eyes widened in surprise, and then he immediately understood: This is the function of nerve thorns.

This is exactly what he had envisioned a long time ago, the last step for ordinary people to break through the extraordinary limitations, so that ordinary people can truly "release" the last step of spells-without the help of buttons and set spell models, directly by the user The control of the thinking and mental power allows ordinary humans to truly perceive and control the final link of magic!

Now, this link has been realized.

"Very well, the tester is in a stable condition, and the output of each device is normal... The neural thorns feedback signal is clear and stable, and the brain wave readings are normal..." Yuri, who monitors the data next to him, said while directly sensing the magic fluctuations on the spot with his mental power. Now let's increase the load, Mr. Aix, please try to activate psionic echo, let us see the effect of Song of the Deep."

The tester floating in the air nodded, then slightly raised his arm to make a fist. A low-frequency noise-like sound immediately came from the three neural signal amplifiers floating behind him, and the noise lasted only a short time. , Has reached a frequency that human ears cannot receive-it sounds like it has disappeared, but Gawain can be sure that "Song of the Deep" has begun to run and is covering the entire room because he keenly perceives the magic in the air. There are ripples, and a slightly uplifting and sober power is slowly infiltrating everyone's heart.

"Does this look good?" He couldn't help but said to Wendy next to him. "But I heard there is a problem with the stability of the prototype soldier?"

"Yes, there is a problem with stability. What you see now is only the lowest load, which can barely resist unconscious and non-directed mental pollution, but as the load increases, the prototype soldier will soon lose control of the nerve thorns... "

During the talk, the test project has proceeded to the next stage. After collecting enough data, Yuri signaled to the testers on the field to increase the intensity of the psionic reverberation. Gawain clearly felt a stronger magic in the room. , He even had the illusion that his skin was slightly itchy-but all this lasted less than a few seconds.

Accompanied by a burst of high-frequency noise, the tester’s suit suddenly flickered, and the nerve thorns that had floated in the air with the personnel were also instantly extinguished. The young man seemed to try to restore control of the magic power, but lost the nerve thorns. Support, he barely buffered in the air for a while before falling back to the ground.

Fortunately, the height of his floating was only a little bit. The drop of more than ten centimeters did not cause any harm. He just staggered and got on his feet, then took off his helmet in frustration.

"I lost control," he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I tried my best to maintain energy balance, but it seems that some of the magic is outside of my perception..."

"You have done a good job, Mr. Ax, this is a technical problem at this stage, and we need to solve it next," Wendy sighed slightly, "Go and rest first, the next test is due. tomorrow."

"Okay, Ms. Wendy."

Gao Wen watched all this, and after the tester left, he slightly frowned and looked at Wendy: "What's the reason?"

"Manipulating magic is easy for senior transcendents, but it is a completely different concept for ordinary people," Wendy sighed. "Even if the nerve thorns give them the'physical foundation' to perceive and control magic, they Their minds, their thinking habits, and their neural responses also require a long process of adaptation and adjustment to master this matter."

"...In other words, it is far from enough for ordinary people to perceive and control magic power. Their nervous system...can't understand this thing?"

Wendy nodded: "It's like installing a set of extra limbs on a person suddenly, and this set of limbs is many times more complicated than his original limbs-it takes a very long time for the nervous system to figure out how to control these. The extra'organ' requires a long time for the human mind to adapt. Of course, effective training methods may greatly shorten the adaptation process, but it takes time to summarize the training method itself, at least for now we have no clue— —I know how to educate the extraordinary, but no one knows how to teach an ordinary person who has never used magic power to cast spells."

Heidi frowned slightly: "...we probably don't have so much time."

"...Are there any'special talents' who can quickly adapt to nerve thorns without training?" Gao Wen couldn't help asking.

"Yes, senior transcendents, such as wizards and knights, can use the psionic singer's suit to release the'Song of the Deep' without any training," Wendy shrugged, "but it loses its meaning, nerves At the beginning of the birth of thorns, the purpose was to let ordinary people master the magic power, but now ordinary people will be turned away."

"Indeed, this is a bit ironic..." Gao Wen reluctantly agreed with Wendy's statement, "But if there is really no way, we can only let a group of wizards receive temporary training to become psionic singers-we are in short supply now. These special soldiers."

"I understand what you mean, I'll make a plan," Wendy sighed, and then she seemed to think of something, "but...I suddenly thought of something."

Gawain and Heidi said in unison: "What do you think of?"

"We don't know how to let ordinary people quickly master magic skills, but Typhon... they have been studying the field of mass production of extraordinary people for many years," Wendy said while thinking, "Of course, their mass production of extraordinary people It needs to be selected from an early age and cultivated for a long time to form, but this is based on becoming a formal mage and having a frontal combat effectiveness. Aside from this, they have mature catalytic agent technology that can be used to reconstruct the human nervous system. There are special Magic rituals are used to enhance the magic perception ability of low-talented people, as well as mature fast training methods and magic stimulation techniques, which enable people who are first exposed to magic to quickly master skills...

"If we just want ordinary people to'familiarize' with magic and allow ordinary people's nervous system to'adapt' to magic, then these technologies might be useful to us."

Wendy's words made Gawain and Heidi thoughtful at the same time.
