Chapter 1300 Phase Three Experiment [Negative Energy Control]

If Xia Duo was asked to recruit people by himself, he might not be able to find volunteers who were at least high-level mages. They were already living well, so why bother to participate in such a dangerous research?

And it's still a guinea pig for research!

Even if someone is willing to come, what is the price?

What a price to pay to buy out the future life, even life, of a high-ranking mage!

What's more, there is no possibility that only one volunteer is needed!

Dean Bernie's willingness to provide volunteers is undoubtedly the best news for Xia Duo, and the good news will continue one after another.

Unlimited time and unlimited special energy supply lines, experimental facilities that can be added arbitrarily, and experimental materials that can be applied for approval.

Such convenient conditions gave Xia Duo the idea of ​​making spell chips again, but the experimental materials were mostly purification potions, healing potions and the like.

Mithril is also available, but it is mainly used as laboratory facilities and equipment maintenance materials. It is really not an easy task to extract enough amount for chip experiments.

However, Xia Duo also has other ways to achieve this goal by establishing multiple related projects that have a large demand for Mithril.

He still needs to think over the specific details, but he already has this idea.

……

Dean Bernie was very efficient. On the second day, all the venues, personnel, and materials required for the "negative energy downgrading" project were in place.

The first volunteers were not living people, but five corpses.

The goal of the first stage of the project is to let the negative energy flow through these five corpses without causing more serious consequences, such as flesh and blood atrophy, bone mutation, undead and so on.

This requires changing the explicit form of negative energy, or precisely controlling its scope of action.

The difficulty is not small, but with a nearly unlimited supply of corpses, fifteen researchers can realize any ideas in their hearts one by one.

In this way, in less than ten days, the project team completed the goal of the first phase.

The 5th level spell [Negative Energy Control] is the main achievement of this stage. This spell can not only change the external manifestation of negative energy, but also precisely control the scope of negative energy.

It's a pity that negative energy is negative energy after all, no matter how it is changed and how it is controlled, it is still difficult to eliminate the negative effect on a life, even a corpse.

Although the goal of the first stage of the project was not completed perfectly, it can also enter the second stage-the living people are all high-level mages!
When Xia Duo first saw that the volunteer was a corpse, he thought that even if he was a living person in the second stage, he would not be able to use a high-level mage immediately, but he didn't expect that Dean Bernie was the atmosphere.

Perhaps seeing the effect of the first stage, the second stage directly went to the high-level mage.

However, when seeing the first batch of five volunteers in the second stage, Xia Duo couldn't help but lament that he was still too young.

The first batch of volunteers in the second stage were indeed five high-level mages, but they were high-level mages who were in a dying state due to the influence of the elves' [negative energy erosion].

A high-level mage in this state has lost consciousness, let alone cast spells, and even if he is dead, he cannot be resurrected.

Maybe it was Dean Bernie who wanted to use waste, or a dead horse as a living horse doctor. In short, the five volunteers sent this time are all in this state.

Although the excess negative energy on their bodies has long been removed, the impact left by the erosion of negative energy is difficult to eliminate, and correspondingly—

They also have a special state with high resistance to negative energy.

This allowed the experiment to be carried out in a more bold manner, but thanks to the results of the first phase, the state of the first batch of five high-level mages who had already lost consciousness did not deteriorate.

In fact, it is normal to think about it.

Compared with the unstable state of corpses, living people are still in a relatively stable state of elemental balance, even if this balance is abnormal.

In this way, the second stage was completed almost at the same speed as flying. The five volunteers had just been sent over in the morning, and Xia Duo notified Dean Bernie's students to send someone to pick them up in the afternoon.

The third stage is the highlight of the whole project, which requires a high-level mage in good condition, or an archmage to participate in the experiment.

This puts a lot of pressure on Xia Duo and others. After all, they are real people. They may be talking to you normally one second, and they may die suddenly in the next second.

"Everyone has been busy for almost ten days, let's take a day off first, recover your energy, adjust your state, and continue the experiment the day after tomorrow.

"Although possible deaths during the experiment are unavoidable and allowed, I still hope that everyone will be more in awe of life. If possible, the priority should be to save the lives of volunteers instead of using your imagination wantonly. force."

When the experiment reached the living body stage, Xia Duo discovered this sign, and he was not sure whether it was the influence of negative energy on the experimenter, or whether this kind of experiment stimulated evil thoughts that the experimenter himself might not be aware of.

But it is necessary for him to remind everyone that ignoring life is also equivalent to disrespecting himself, colleagues, and this is also his warning to himself.

For him, the projected plane is a fantasy, but the experience and experience in it are real. If he indulges himself here, how can he continue to stick to his bottom line when he returns to the main plane?

The so-called cautious independence probably refers to this situation.

Of course, Xia Duo's bottom line is far from being touched by using the project cover to gain some benefits for himself from the research institute.

At least in his opinion, his contribution is fully worthy of the contribution of the Institute.

Equivalent exchange is not a literal numerical equality, but an equivalent value judged based on their respective values.

For some values ​​that are difficult to quantify, it is completely single-minded.

If Xia Duo thinks it is equivalent, then it is equivalent; if he thinks it is not equivalent, then it is not equivalent.

……

After all, the trial production of the chip could not continue, without him, it was too busy.

Even if he could dig out the mithril needed for the experiment, Xia Duo didn't have the time and energy to do it.

Out of concern about the time loop, he needs to check the progress of various projects in the collaborative laboratory every day, so as not to encounter a time loop suddenly and miss some key information.

Now there are more "negative energy downgrade" items, which take up most of his time.

Even on this day of rest, he has to think about the direction of the next experiment and related details, and from time to time he has to exchange ideas with his assistant researchers.

And Samuel, he also wants to contact Xia Duo from time to time.

After this day's rest, Xia Duo felt more tired than no rest. Of course, he also enjoyed it and never tired of it.

In the middle of the night, he finally jotted down some inspirations that he might use tomorrow on paper, drank another bottle of purification potion, and hurriedly packed up for a rest.

　A little accident, I can only return to the main plane tomorrow, and go back after the negative energy downgrading project is over. Combined with the negative energy performance data of the part of the lost spellcasting ability given by Lord Leisen, the real negative energy downgrading spell can be synthesized.
Of course, there are still side effects, which are harmful to life expectancy and have certain negative effects on bodily functions.

But the benefits are also obvious, that is, non-arcanist spellcasters who are over level 10 can return to level 10 and have the opportunity to advance to arcanist.
