Richard stepped forward, walked into the corner, and found a half-melted energy-absorbing tower.

Rubbing the melted edges, Richard pondered for a moment, then walked to another corner and touched the charred wall.

Then in the third corner, he used the wind blade to clean the solidified metal juice from the ground, and saw the ground that was slightly sunken.

The fourth corner, which is in the best condition, even has a intact energy-absorbing tower, but under the effect of the preset magic pattern, it feels that the external environment is abnormal, and it has automatically stopped working.

"Hmm-" Richard pursed his lips, analyzing the information as he continued to gather clues.

A fragment of an energy controller, a puddle of solidified metal sap, a mass of disrupted energy paths......

After a few minutes, Richard somewhat blurred everything that had happened in the room.

Squinting at the floor in the room, Richard muttered to himself:

"Initially it was supposed to be an energy-absorbing tower in the third corner that went out of control, causing an energy spill. It then spreads rapidly in all directions, creating a chain reaction that causes almost all of the towers to spiral out of control.

During propagation, the effect is slightly attenuated, so that the third corner is the most damaged, and even the heavily protected ground is almost pierced, followed by the two adjacent corners, and the fourth corner of the opposite corner is the lightest, leaving a complete energy-absorbing tower.

In addition, some of the disturbed energy left in the room can indeed indicate that there was a brief confrontation......"

After analyzing for a long time, Richard looked at the ancient tree Ximu and said: "So, the accident that happened here really has nothing to do with you? The problem here seems to be indeed caused by the energy-absorbing tower, and you have indeed resisted the energy attack of the energy-absorbing tower." ”

"That's how it is. After Ximu was recognized, his momentum suddenly became a lot fuller, and he took the opportunity to ask for the price, "I said it all, it's all your fault! So, I ask that you shorten the contract time...... At least a month!"

"Of course, it's also possible that you did it too perfectly, deliberately used some means to cause problems in the energy absorbing tower, and directed this scene alone. Richard looked at Ximu and said, "So, your suspicion is not completely cleared. ”

"I ......" Ximu hesitated for a while, and said weakly for a while, "Then my contract will not be shortened by one month, but by half a month, can I always do it?"

"Wait until the investigation is clear, you better leave it as it is for now. Richard said without being verbose, took a deep look at Ximu, and walked out the door.

......

Outside the door, Pandora and the old lich, who had been waiting for a long time, looked at each other quickly and asked aloud, "How is it?"

"It's fine. Richard said, "It shouldn't be the tree that rebelled, it was some of my equipment that had problems." ”

"Really?" asked Pandora.

"Why don't you go into the room and have a look?" said Richard.

"Forget it. Pandora said with some disappointment, "I knew that tree didn't have such courage, so I'd better go back and continue to do the problem, just now, I suddenly had an idea to solve the problem." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the room.

Richard looked at Pandora's back and shook his head slightly.

The old man of the lich looked at it, frowned, and said, "Is it really not the tree that rebelled?

"Yes. ”

The old man's face was a little bitter, he thought of something, and asked, "By the way, what's going on with your equipment, why is it so unreliable?"

"To be honest, this is indeed a bit unexpected to me, and according to the results of my previous research, it should not be like this. Richard frowned, "So, for the next while, you can help look at the Garden of Eden, and I'm going to fully devote myself to studying why." ”

"How long is the study?"

"It depends. ”

"Uh. ”

Richard strode towards the main laboratory.

......

For the next few days, Richard stayed in the main laboratory and did not come out, returning to his previous state of studying the Book of the Void and the Codex of Alan Pompaud.

The remaining energy-absorbing towers were dismantled and studied by him repeatedly, and the magic patterns on them were also retested by him one by one to find out the problem.

One day, two days, three days.

Three days later.

Richard sat furrowed at the circular table in the main laboratory, on which were two copies of the Book of the Void, as well as Aaron Pompaud's Codex.

He was now holding a quill and calculating a formula—a formula that he had determined.

It is on the basis of this formula that he has built various types of energy-absorbing towers, and has the confidence to complete the last piece of the puzzle that is missing from the nuclear weapons research and manufacturing program.

After the accident in Research Room 3, however, he became skeptical of this formula and was now ready to recalculate it - in a different way.

"Rustling ......"

The formula is calculated step by step, and then compared with another formula to form a simplified equation.

With the step-by-step derivation, the numbers and letters are constantly eliminated and become more and more concise.

Eventually, Richard wrote down the results.

“2=3。 ”

Looking at the final result, Richard's eyes shrank.

2=3, how is this possible?

2≠3, 2<3 is right!

Why is this happening?

According to his calculations, the left side of the equation is the old method, and the right side is the new method.

That is, the old way < the new way.

What's missing?

Is there anything that is missing from the old method? But the new method doesn't have any extra elements.

Or is it that the content recorded in the Book of the Void is inherently conflicting and inconsistent, so it leads to different results calculated by two different methods, which makes the energy absorbing tower problematic?

Richard's brow furrowed into a knot, and he took the two copies of the Book of the Void and began to study it for an unknown number of times.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

The pages of the book are constantly turning......

An hour, two hours, three hours, half a day passed in the blink of an eye.

Half a day later, Richard sat at the circular experimental table, staring at the penultimate page of the second half of the Book of the Void, motionless, as if petrified.

His face was a little pale, and his lips were dry and chapped because he had not been hydrated for a long time, but there was a sharp light in his eyes that kept flashing, as if he was suspicious of something.

Eventually, the flickering light solidified and the suspicion was confirmed.

"Whoa!"

Richard flipped to the last page of the Book of the Void, read it carefully, and let out a long breath. I closed my eyes and waited for three seconds, then opened them again and came to a conclusion:

"If I'm not mistaken, there should be a third Book of the Void. ”

Yes, there is a third Book of the Void that exists!

Previously, Rommel said that the Book of the Void only had two parts, but after he re-read it, he found that some small details in the book indicated that the content of the two books of the Void was incomplete, and that a third Book of the Void existed.

This third book of the Void is obviously the most important part of the series, and it has decisive significance, but it has been cleverly hidden. If it weren't for the problem with the energy-absorbing tower in Research Room Three, he would definitely not have noticed it easily.

When the time comes, it will really be mass-produced, and if there is a problem again, the consequences will be really unimaginable.

Did Rommel know about this? Did he deliberately mislead him before? Or did Rommel not know why...... Richard Quick Thoughts...... Rommel was very sure that he was going the wrong way and would not succeed, could it be that he had expected this situation?

Sure enough, it is not always easy to succeed, and there will always be obstacles in front of you, big or small.

Now, it's time for the final hurdle.

The third book!

Rommel!
