Arcane Lord

After being downgraded from negative energy, Xia Duo is no longer an arcanist, whether it is the projection avatar or the main body on the main plane, but he still possesses the basic qualities required by an arcanist.

This is actually taking advantage of the education he received in his hometown before crossing. If he is really a mage born and bred on the main plane, even if he has successfully advanced to the level of an arcanist on the main plane, he may not be qualified here. .

Although Xia Duo thinks he is qualified, Dean Reiss may not think so, otherwise there would be no need to meet tonight, so Xia Duo decisively proposed:

"Maruent is willing to accept the test of Head Reese!"

"Very good, doing research is to have this unyielding momentum!"

Reese, who was originally solemn and unsmiling, showed a rare smile, and then he pointed to the Grinch beside him and said to Xia Duo:

"You have served in the military before, and you have received the Outstanding Service Medal. You must be no stranger to negative energy. Now their Negative Energy Research Institute has encountered a dilemma.

"The problem mainly comes from two aspects, one is that the public generally does not trust negative energy, and the other is the extremely chaotic nature of negative energy itself.

"Based on these two points, I want you to use the Negative Energy Research Institute as the main body to come up with a plan to resolve the public's distrust of negative energy, and to design a verification experiment to avoid the chaotic characteristics of negative energy.

"For more details, you can ask Grinch, and you can discuss and do it together. As long as the final result satisfies me, it is considered to have passed my test.

"It's not only your test, but also the Grinch. If you fail, I will tell Archib and ask you to come back and retake it for a few years."

After finishing speaking, Dean Reese walked out of the reception room, leaving space for Xia Duo and the Grinch.

…

As soon as Dean Lisi left, Xia Duo's pressure was greatly relieved, and he immediately asked: "What kind of difficulties has the Negative Energy Research Institute encountered? Can you tell me in detail?"

"This should be classified as a secret, but if Dean Reese mentioned it, let me tell you."

Grinch glanced at the direction of the door, and then said with a smile: "Actually, the problem is very simple, that is, the Negative Energy Research Institute has not been able to produce any useful results in recent years, and the public is worried about negative energy pollution. To reduce the allocation of funds for the Institute of Negative Energy."

"Didn't Dean Gorris say that the Second Regent asked to make good use of negative energy?"

"It is true that there is such a thing, but this matter has to be looked at in two layers. On the one hand, negative energy research itself will be developed, but on the other hand, the second ruling requires that we make good use of it. Doesn't it mean that we are not doing enough now? The next negative energy development opportunities may not necessarily fall on the negative energy research institute."

"That's it!"

Xia Duo immediately understood that although the Chixin Alliance and the Chixin Tribe share a common great goal, there are differences in the specific implementation steps.

As for the Institute of Negative Energy, although it is one of the largest negative energy research institutions in the country and in the entire alliance, its development has been weak in recent years, and it will indeed be criticized. Coupled with the misunderstanding of the public, it may be the beginning of its decline.

After thinking for a while, Xia Duo asked again: "Then where is the bottleneck of the slow research of Negative Energy Research Institute? Dean Gorris said that it is related to the chaotic characteristics of Negative Energy. What is going on?"

"Let's put it this way, we have done all the research we can about negative energy, and the rest is related to the nature of negative energy. But at this point, it is difficult to even design experiments. Specifically, any experiment no matter how many times it is repeated , would have the same result, as if the magic didn't exist."

"Every experiment with completely different results?"

"Yes."

Grinch nodded helplessly, but still added one more sentence, "The experiments mentioned here refer to experiments to verify the nature of negative energy, not ordinary applied experiments."

"I see."

Xia Duo thought deeply, did the different experimental results reflect the extremely chaotic nature of negative energy? After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Is there any pattern in the statistical data of large samples?"

"No! If there is, it won't be such a headache."

Grinch looked troubled, but Xia Duo actually had some ideas, but he didn't plan to say it so soon, but changed the subject to talk about the misunderstanding of the public.

In this regard, Maruent, his projection incarnation, also has a certain right to speak, because there are many kinds of offensive weapons that use negative energy in the army, which are not only powerful, but also leave irreparable damage to the environment. Influence.

Perhaps the negative energy has been misunderstood, and there are also "credits" to those weapons, but in the final analysis, the people are wise enough to know that negative energy is indeed harmful in one way or another.

However, the benefits obtained by researching the application of negative energy may not be able to cover these existing harms, let alone more harms caused by follow-up research.

Regarding the same matter, group decision-making tends to be more rational, but for individuals, it may not be able to be rational throughout the whole process. In Xia Duo's hometown, there is a similar saying of "a mob"~www.readwn.com~ But the Chixin Alliance is so new In this era, it is even more necessary to clarify the necessity of negative energy research to the public, instead of simply perfunctory and fooling policies to temporarily alleviate the different opinions of the public.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo told Grinch, "Research on negative energy is related to the origin of the universe, and we cannot stop researching it just because it may have terrible consequences. What we researchers need to do is to turn harm into benefit, not forget the benefit.

"For how to resolve the public's distrust of negative energy research, the first thing to be clear is that the public is not distrustful of negative energy research, but worried about the possible adverse effects of negative energy.

"Therefore, we need to fully demonstrate the standard procedures of negative energy research institutes, and even any other negative energy research institutions, in the study of negative energy processes, and fully demonstrate the safety of their research.

"Show them how strong we are in controlling negative energy and putting it to good use."

After finishing speaking, Xia Duo added, "Concealment and avoidance are the source of distrust, and this is what we need to face up to most."

"Excellent words!"

Grinch couldn't help clapping his hands and applauding, "Now the research institute is beginning to spread a trend of only talking about the advantages, not the disadvantages, and preparing to deceive the public. I think this trend is very dangerous!

"Maybe some researchers have been separated from the masses for too long. Although they are researchers who are closer to the truth, they should not be arrogant because of this, thinking that the masses cannot understand the truth, and then thinking that they do not need to explain to the masses.

"In fact, the masses have enough understanding to understand everything we are studying now. The wisdom of the masses is endless. At this time, some researchers may have really forgotten the teachings of the early leaders."

At the end, Grinch couldn't help revealing his true feelings, which made Xia Duo deeply moved.
