Chapter 148: The advent of the Abnormal Electromagnetic Microscope
A cargo ship laden with supplies sails across the seas from Talon Island to Twilight.
Huggins, shrouded in armor, stood behind Todd, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "My lord, do you really believe the records in the slate?"
Looking at the rolling waves, Todd said motionlessly, "What about you? Do you believe it?"
The knight glanced back at the island, which had long since disappeared at sea level, and his tone sounded a little uncertain: "I am a believer in the Heavenly Father's religion, and faith tells me that the so-called pagan history is nothing but synonymous with hypocrisy and falsehood. However, my gut told me that things could be more complicated than I thought. Those bones, the metal, the ruins, oh my God! If it's just for fakes, it's too expensive!"
"There are some things that you can choose to doubt your eyes or choose to question the perception of the world when you can't explain it with common sense. Todd threw the pieces of wood beside him into the sea, recalling yesterday's scene.
Todd had been exposed to Norse mythology in his previous life, and had also exchanged the religion of the North Island with Morgan in another world.
But the nine drawings that emerged, as well as those rune characters, plus the information in the slate, had a great impact on him.
Odin, the king of the gods, slaying the ancestor of the giants, the germination and growth of the World Tree, the power of the gods, and Ragnarok are all the actions of the "it" in the picture, the arrow triangle. So according to the picture record, why did 'it' go to so much effort to create everything and then destroy everything?
The picture mentions that the World Tree gave the gods immortality and powers, but how did it do that?
The formation of the monster sounds a bit like the "Inheritor" mutation, is this related to the "Sutherland Bacteria"?
And the text in the last picture: "It foresaw the end, planned its fate, bewitched the living, and erased its traces. Ignorant and small beings, we created you, but who created us?'
There is so much hidden information in this sentence that Todd will not be able to figure it out for a while.
With a lot of thoughts, Todd returned to Twilight on a cargo ship, and as Huggins commanded the sailors to carry the cargo out of the cabin, he couldn't help but remind people to be careful and cautious. The buckets and wooden boxes here contain springs, fossils, soil, and more from the Valkyrie Village, all of which are extremely valuable research materials and key items to solve the mysteries of the North Island.
"Master Todd, you're back!"
The excited man's voice made Todd turn his head in surprise.
Kendi, a southerner with two dark circles under his eyes, opened a pair of bloodshot eyes, rubbed his hands and looked at him excitedly.
Todd looked at the other party and was stunned: "Kendi? You look like you haven't slept for a whole year." ”
Shaking his head vigorously, the scholar from the Abbasid Empire laughed, his white teeth glaring: "We have made something that can change the world!"
After saying that, he didn't care about the eyes of the people around him, pulled Todd's sleeve, and led him to the headquarters of the Knights.
On the way, Todd looked at the scholars who were hurrying ahead with a faint anticipation in his heart.
Could it be that the electron microscope really made these people come out?
When Todd walked into the warehouse of the Knights' headquarters, he discovered that it had been converted into a makeshift laboratory for scholars and craftsmen. A huge machine with a black metal shell is quietly placed in the center of the warehouse, a group of academy students are using dye to stain samples, monks are checking the airtightness and integrity of the machine, craftsmen are testing the final placement of the vacuum sample chamber and sight glass barrel, and Rachel is leading several xenos to adjust and realize the position and function of the parts according to the guidance of the scholars.
Todd looked at the machine in front of him, and his brain was a little down, because what was in front of him was nothing like the first magnetic electron microscope invented in 1926. Its vacuum pump is not driven by a generator, but is manually exhausted by a heterogeneous with "wind pressure"; its optical aberration control and electronic valves are not controlled by wires and switches, but are operated in real time by the "reconnaissance successor" with "perspective" and "eagle eye"; the angle of eclipse control and voltage flow of the electron beam are completed by Rachel using "mental power" to superimpose the large and small magnetic circles of the "Tesla" parasite; the electron beam hits the sample, and the photons generated by the electron beam are "concentrating" Xenomorphs collect and cast cauterized on white paper.
If you really want to define it, it is a magnetic electron microscope that combines scientific knowledge with heterogeneous capabilities.
At the invitation and expectation of everyone, Todd, who was full of interest, operated this strange electron microscope, and some troubles were exposed.
First, a minimum of four xenogeneous species are required to operate this microscope. After the sample is put into the warehouse, the "wind pressure" xenomorph is first vacuumed, the "reconnaissance successor" is responsible for observing the direction of the magnetic lens and the timing of the electron strike, Rachel receives the information of the former, and the magnetic circle adjustment of the "Tesla" parasite is carried out to control the voltage and discharge speed, and the electron beam hits the sample, and the photons produced are collected and amplified by the "concentrating" xenomorph. These links require the close cooperation of four people, and a little mistake by any one person may cause the failure of sample observation.
Second, the resulting image is black and white and blurry. Some contrasts and topography are difficult to make accurate judgments. For example, whether the surface of the specimen is spherical or pitted is difficult to judge with the naked eye, which may give people a visual illusion.
Finally, and the biggest problem. The magnification and resolution of this electron microscope are still too low. Even if the four-bit heterogeneous coordination is perfect, the magnification is only 10,000 times, and the resolution is only 20nm. (In the previous life, the magnification of electron microscopes could reach up to 3 million times, and the resolution was generally 0.2 nm)
But in any case, this was already the limit of what was possible in the Middle Ages.
Todd named the anomaly-powered magnetic electron microscope "The Discoverer", and all the scholars, craftsmen, and xenos involved in the research and manufacturing were rewarded with large sums of money and allowed to have their names engraved on the microscope's shell.
The day after returning to Twilight, Todd signed a general order and affixed it to the square. It was announced that the town of Twilight was officially established and the construction of the "Twilight Academy" began, which consisted of physics, xenogeneology, mathematics, engineering, medicine, literature and other disciplines, and hired the southern scholar Kendi, the writer Hans, Rachel, and many students, monks, and craftsmen as lecturers of the college, and specially allocated a sum of funds from the Holy Treasury to pay for the daily maintenance of the college and the salaries of the personnel.
With Monk Joe in charge of the construction of the Twilight Academy, Todd refocused his attention on his research.
The barrels and chests brought back from the North Island were opened one by one, and the fossils, soil, stones, and spring water were placed in suitable containers. Rachel temporarily stepped down from his position as head of the biochemical plant, and along with three other xenomorphs, he was transferred to the research room of the Knights' headquarters.
After preparing the materials and assembling the team, Todd set the first object of research on the kind of spring that could "heal" xenomorphs.
