Although Adam made the devil into a magic wand, he did not limit it to exist in the form of a cane, and when there was no fight, he still allowed it to move freely, so the devil played even more crazy, and it now had a sense of urgency, feeling that it had such a master, and life could leave it at any time.

After the devil left, Adam locked himself up in the doppelganger lab.

The laboratory has been expanded several times, and the interior space has become enormous, with petri dishes arranged in numbers on either side, and there is almost no end in sight, each of which is soaked in an identical doppelganger of Adam.

The analysis of the rune group that divides the soul magic is preliminarily completed, and Adam has found three of the key runes, and as long as these three runes are slightly changed, it can be achieved to divide only the thread, and not involve the soul.

———

Boom.

With a muffled sound, the head of a clone in front of Adam exploded like a watermelon, and the mixed red and white brain slurry splattered all over the petri dish.

Adam looked at the doppelganger, numbered two hundred and thirteen, shook his head, and wrote on the recorder the reason for the failure: unknown.

That's right, it's just unknown, Adam is sure that he has no problem transforming the runes, and now splitting souls can strip some kind of information without involving souls, but when it comes to actually applying magic to clones, the ending is exactly the same.

"What's the problem?"

Adam wondered why it exploded when some kind of information had indeed entered the clone through an improved magic.

Puzzled, Adam had no choice but to suspend the experiment, although the death was only a clone of the clones, but this feeling of killing himself with his own hands was still very weird.

After leaving the cloning lab, Adam played all the recordings of his experiments for the past month from beginning to end, and then suddenly had an inspiration, turned off the recordings and rushed back to the lab.

"The two hundred and fourteenth test begins, and the record is prepared. ”

"Ether environment preparation. ”

"The Petri dish is unsealed. ”

"The rune group began to build. ”

The cold sound of the recorder resounded in the laboratory, Adam turned a deaf ear, and the next scene was the key to the failure of the experiment.

The rune light shrouded the top of Adam's head, turning into an invisible channel connecting the brain domain of the main body and the doppelganger, a mysterious power enveloped Adam's soul, and then Adam clearly felt that some kind of information was stripped away, and then entered the clone brain domain through the channel.

Boom.

"The experiment failed for unknown reasons. ”

The clone died again, this time Adam didn't have any doubts, his eyes unexpectedly shining, he already understood the reason for the failure.

Splitting the soul is a whole set of magic, although Adam transformed it, but the original role of magic has not changed, the rewriting of these runes has made magic nondescript, and the things that are divided have nothing to do with the soul and consciousness at all, it is just a spiritual power wrapped in magic.

Although the clone was cultivated from Adam's genes, the relatively fragile body and brain domain had no way to directly carry the spiritual power and magic power after the transformation, so headshots were inevitable.

It seems that the experiment has reached an impasse, and there is no way to break the game without involving the soul, but just now, Adam has a new inspiration.

Magic Web.

As early as his apprenticeship, he had doubted the communication methods of formal mages, war mages have a huge 'internet' that connects all souls, so how can mages in the tower who are not qualified to participate in dimensional warfare quickly get in touch?

In Adam's familiar term, it's 'local area network'.

In fact, he doesn't need to split so many soul fragments, he only needs to use himself as the main server, and the clone as the workstation of the local area network, so that he can realize the independent research of the clone in the way of assigning tasks, although there is no function of receiving it all the time, but Adam can summarize the information in the local area network every once in a while.

And this technique will not be too difficult at all in the presence of the magic web, Adam only needs to find the Victor mage, and he will have a great deal of confidence that he can obtain it.

———

Three days later, Adam transformed the Magic Net technology in the Tower that he had traded with Master Victor and successfully applied it to the clone.

Adam chose to build a local area network with a tree structure, and the runes that built the local area network were engraved by him in his soul and the brain domain of each clone, and after doing so, Adam's ontology became the initiator and information processing center of the network, and each clone connected itself through the runes, and naturally had the ability to think and process mechanically.

The disadvantage is that you can't exist alone, and you have to be in the network to think, but that's enough.

In this way, the clone realizes the autonomous thinking within a limited range, and Adam is equivalent to assigning his own threads in a different direction without affecting his computing power, which is more advantageous for Adam than the traditional creation of a clone.

The whole Adam Lab project can be said to have been successful, and Adam's first task was to derive and verify the other two formulas in Maxwell's equations: Gauss's law and Gauss's magnetic law.

———

The days of doing research were the most pleasant for Adam, and indulging in the laboratory always made him forget the passage of time, but such peaceful days were finally broken in the third month of the second year of his promotion to mage.

A text message from the Demon Net brought Adam out of his mad state: Adam, the mage, arrived at the Extraboundary Mission Handover of the Mission Hall on the third floor of the Holy Tower to receive the plane exploration mission in one day.

Adam silently looked at the hundreds of busy clones in the laboratory, set up the research task, and recalled the devil through the contract, and then came to the third floor of the Holy Tower with a slightly fluctuating mood.

The mission hall was busy, Adam was inconspicuous here in a first-class mage robe, nodding and greeting the mages who exuded kindness along the way, and then going deeper and deeper along the passage, there were fewer and fewer mages on the road, and finally Adam walked into the junction of the out-of-realm missions under the strange eyes of several mages.

Adam thought it would be some extradimensional mage presiding over the mission release, but he didn't expect that the target was the Spirit of the Holy Tower that he had guessed to be an artificial intelligence.

"Authentication complete, Level 1 Exploration Mage Adam. The cold voice of the Spirit of the Holy Tower went straight to the depths of his heart, and after verification, an information box and several alchemical items were suspended in front of Adam.

"Mage Adam, you need to familiarize yourself with the equipment and content of the exploration mission within three days, and after three days, you will reach the vicinity of the coordinates of the recording mission through the fuzzy teleportation array and start your first mission. ”

The spirit of the Holy Tower disappeared, and the devil's arrogant laughter rang out: "Quack quack, at last this day has come, let those stupid natives know the horrors of my great master!"
