"A product of the twentieth century," Tanaka muttered, but it was not clear what was so different about the gap between the centuries, and not much was known about the kind of perpetual motion machine that Wilson was talking about.

Wilson said: "When I was younger, I had a lot of knowledge about this perpetual hourglass that skillfully used physics, and it was obvious that the auctioneer's definition was not historical, but the other party was just as confident. Because the auction house has an inspection certificate certified by an authoritative organization, the overall material of this perpetual motion hourglass is all 20th century objects, so the authenticity of its quality is beyond doubt. ”

Tanaka said: "In this way, this hourglass is really a piece of material evidence that can change history. ”

Wilson shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't care if it can correct historical mistakes, in my eyes the so-called reason is like a long diary written by human beings alone, and the diary must contain people's subjective judgments, if it is mixed with this kind of thing, then the so-called historical facts have been distorted." ”

Tanaka smiled bitterly: "Professor... Your ideas are too extreme. ”

Wilson laughed, "Yes, but it's also my most subjective thought. Wilson then continued: "I was intrigued by this subversive thing, so I observed the perpetual hourglass myself. ”

"The hourglass, called 'Eternal,' does have a twentieth-century design style, and it seems to be a product of Europe, and according to the inscription on it, it may be a product of England. I am disappointed that the auction house has an authoritative certificate, but it is still unable to tell me about the historical origin of this 'eternity'. ”

"But soon I focused on the 'eternal' hourglass itself, which I had been exposed to before, but 'eternal' gave me a strange feeling. Those magnetic sands in the hourglass, to be exact. It is not like ordinary magnetic sand that forms some unique shape under the action of the magnetic field, or it accumulates directly at the bottom of the hourglass like sand. It feels more like a... Hunger..."

Hunger.

The word flashed through Tanaka's mind, and Tanaka couldn't understand it, he couldn't think of what a hungry hourglass magnetic sand would look like, not even in a raging desert storm.

Wilson said, "I guess you can't imagine that kind of scene, haha." If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's really hard for ordinary people to imagine. And that's my subjective feeling when I have a certain purpose, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it's just the most ordinary work of my art. ”

"At that time, I was instantly very interested in this 'eternity', and I was in a state of sensitivity to it, and I was curious to explore anything special, and I naturally did not let go of such an opportunity. ”

So I put it up for auction, and during that time, there was a German guy who kept raising the price with me, and it looked like he was going to win, and thanks to him, I lost a lot of money. ”

"After I got it into my pocket, I studied and analyzed it in detail as soon as possible, and guess what?"

Tanaka said, "You found the nine-leaf clover..."

Wilson said with an even more smug smile on his face, "I can't help it, I also found the tragic fragment of the Tritoglaia Stone Tablet that I just mentioned. ”

Tanaka was shocked to learn that a pair of natural enemies in Wilson's mouth appeared in a so-called artistic hourglass.

Wilson explains: "At the bottom of that antique hourglass frame is a small fragment of the Tritoclea stone inscription, which looks more like a decorative work of art when delicately polished, but it is actually the source of the power that drives the entire 'eternal' hourglass." ”

When Tanaka heard this, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he immediately said, "Your consciousness is the power that drives this hourglass, and not only is the power that runs somewhat..."appetite'. ”

Tanaka didn't expect to come out of his own mouth, and everyone was surprised, including himself.

Wilson laughed and said, "Your comprehension ability is very fast, and the word 'appetite' is also very accurate. That's right, it's this power that really drives the 'eternal' hourglass. ”

"The magnetic sand in the hourglass body is not a complete magnetic sand, but is mixed with the powder of the nine-leaf clover and the magnetic powder, and the magnetic powder and the modified electromagnetism can only be regarded as some kind of trick, which is to hide the desire power of the nine-leaf clover to devour the stone inscription of Tritoglaia. ”

Hearing this, Tanaka couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and fine sweat began to ooze from the palm of his hand.

Wilson said, "You can imagine a hungry lion in a cage driven by a cycle, and you're standing outside the cage as a decoy. The lion wants to devour you, but it will change its direction as soon as it pounces on your circulatory cage, causing the lion to always maintain the most subtle of the closest singularity with you, but it cannot break through this distance. And if this lion has infinite physical strength and life, then the system formed between the three of you is a perpetual motion machine. ”

After listening to Wilson's overview, Tanaka finally fully understood that, although this hypothesis is very unreliable, it is also the most straightforward indication that the movement of the 'eternal' hourglass is far away.

Wilson continued: "Although this principle sounds simple, if it is really fully produced, the amount of design calculation required is indeed extraordinary, especially in the allocation of clover powder in the main body of the hourglass, it must be controlled within an absolutely graspable range, more or less the amount of weight, otherwise the hourglass will be a failure." ”

Tanaka's brow furrowed, and through Wilson's words, Tanaka quickly realized that this matter was indeed not as simple as it seemed. The complexity and precision of this component cannot be achieved by a single ingenious craftsman, especially since both the Clover and Tritocleia stone inscriptions are special substances, and it is not easy to find the right balance between the two.

As Wilson said, this hourglass was produced in the twentieth century, when neither the digital model system nor computer hardware technology was perfect, and it was really unrealistic to use this method to calculate.

An even more terrifying thought came to Tanaka's mind.

Maybe that "eternal" hourglass was only done by personal strength ...

Wilson said: "This is the whole process of me discovering the existence of the pre-nine-leaf clover, how does it sound very coincidental and bumpy, I have to say that fate is really interesting." Many times he will give you what you want in ways you didn't expect. ”

Tanaka said, "In that case, what kind of nine-leaf clover belongs to?"

Wilson said: "For many years, I have not been able to give a precise definition of it, except that it is a heterogeneous organism with extremely special characteristics. When I detached the magnetic powder, the clover powder quickly coalesced into some kind of mud-like substance, which was more like plasticine used by children to play with, and lost any of its dynamic qualities, and the structure became more and more stable. ”

Wilson said: "At that time, I was really shocked, thinking that my own improper operation caused his death, and at that moment of chagrin and remorse almost burst my whole brain. ”

"For a last-ditch effort, I removed the fragment of the Tritocleia stele from the base of the hourglass and threw it into the muddy nine-leaf clover. As a result, a magical and terrifying scene happened. ”

"The nine-leaf clover, which had fallen into silence, quickly devoured the fragment of the Tritocleia stone inscription like a beast that had suddenly awakened, and everything was almost in the blink of an eye, like a lion swallowing a chick. ”

"After that, the Clover briefly entered a reactive state, feeling very 'excited', and then it fell silent again, and by this time I knew it was in a dormant state. ”

"Then I hurried back to Tsukishima and told my brother all the discoveries, and my brother was also very surprised, although he proposed the 'natural enemy' theory, he did not expect that such a thing really existed in this world, but the existence of that small piece of nine-leaf clover was an irresistible reality, and then the two of us began to carry out further secret experiments. ”

Speaking of this, Simon Wilson's voice stopped, and the expression on his face became solemn: "The next thing may make you feel crazy, but I want to say that there is no way to do it. ”

Tanaka only felt his scalp tingle when he heard this, and he realized that the next thing was the most important thing.

Wilson said: "In the end, my insistence on discovering the nine-leaf clover is not to witness it devour the stone inscription of Tritoglaia, but to complete the design of the 'God-killing Armor' of the first number, and the essence of the 'God-killing Project' is also to restrain the blasphemer. So my brother and I decided to put the Clover in vivo on a real desecrated. ”

When he first heard Wilson analyze the various reasons, Tanaka had already had a sense of foreboding, and when Simon Wilson told about the live experiment, Tanaka was even more shocked.

Seeing this, Wilson chuckled, "What's the matter?"

Tanaka swallowed and said, "He... They're real people after all!"

"In that environment, human rights, dignity, and so on were no longer important," Wilson said. There is only one relationship between us and the blasphemers, and that is the enemy. The blasphemers with their superpowers are clearly humanity's most threatening enemies, and if war does break out between the two sides one day, a large number of innocent people will be the most tragic victims. ”

Wilson looked directly at Tanaka and said, "To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself." ”

Seeing this, Tanaka could only swallow another mouthful of saliva and was silent.

Wilson then continued: "Moreover, the situation at that time was very chaotic, your senior sister Yuan Jing negotiated with the Metropolitan Police Department and created the Nine Hunter Organizations, and soon after its establishment, she quickly pointed the butcher's knife at the desecrators at that time. At that time, the desecrators did not have a unique organizational structure as they do now, and it can be said that they were completely scattered, and in such a situation, the slaughter of the desecrators in the nine places was extremely fast, and there was a tendency to completely eradicate them in one fell swoop. ”

"However, my brother and I are not optimistic about Yuan Jing's actions, you must know that everything in the world follows the principle that things must be opposed, if you want to eradicate it in a short time, the strong momentum will only force the blasphemers to grow rapidly, and the wolves that grow up are by no means something that can be cleaned up with a few burning sticks. ”

"Sure enough, the events that followed proved that Yuan Jing's judgment and choice were wrong, of course, I don't think this was a decision made by her alone, as far as I know, there are more powerful forces behind Yuan Jing, and the hunters' eagerness is also affected by the Tsukishima government to a certain extent, you must know that no politician allows the appearance of 'monsters' in his jurisdiction. ”

"All in all, it was an unusually cruel and bloody time, and the blasphemers who were captured by the Nine Places had to face no more cruelty than to endure the Nine-Clover experiment, and perhaps it was a happy thing. ”

Tanaka only felt that all kinds of cruel and complicated truths filled his face like heavy silt, making him feel very suffocated, and he took a long breath, and the rotten and unpleasant smell around him instantly filled his lungs, but Tanaka felt a sense of relief.

"Later, my brother got in touch with Yuan Jing, and we took over the five desecrated people from him, and now I think it may have been at that time that my brother revealed some things about Nine Clover to Yuan Jing. ”

"The live experiments were successful, and everything was as we had expected in the beginning, when the Clover touched the Desecrater, it would be like a leech attached to its body, but the Clover did not absorb the abilities in the Desecrater's body, but could restrain it. Desecrators who have been eroded by the Nine-Clover will not be able to use the Desecrated Ability for a long time, and you can refer to Yuan Jing's reaction tonight for details. ”

Tanaka nodded, at least there was nothing uncomfortable about the experiment Wilson described.

Tanaka paused, "In other words, the Clover can act as a decibitant of the Desecrater's ability, negating its ability for a long time. ”

"Absolutely. Wilson nodded.

Hearing this, Tanaka suddenly had a new puzzle in his heart: "In this case, why didn't Mr. Simon at that time use the nine-leaf clover in the design of the 'God Killer Armor', if you have this kind of weapon, it can definitely improve its combat power." ”

Wilson shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think, in that experiment we not only discovered the inhibition effect of the nine-leaf clover on the ability of the desecrated, but also discovered the upper limit of its saturation. ”
