Chapter 90: Throw One
The reason why Nangong Rong was not interested in the spherical crystal was because his intuition was always giving a warning, but this warning was not very strong, otherwise the young man would not easily agree to contact this guy. Originally, it was thought that the possible danger of crystals was only the erosion of abyssal energy that would emanate everywhere when it was activated internally, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.
This ghost thing can not only absorb the spiritual power of others, but also seems to have its own will, no matter how you look at it, it feels very evil, which makes Nangong Rong's whole person nervous. Fortunately, for now, the other party did not show obvious malice, and the boy did not stay in this strange space for long, and was soon surrounded by a white light, and when he opened his eyes again, he had returned to the real world.
The glasses lady asked her assistants to forcibly cut off the connection between Nangong Rong and the round ball crystal by pulling out the wires, and then approached the young man and asked seriously, "How do you feel?"
Although human beings have made some achievements in the study of spiritual power, and even tinkered with the existence of power armor, after all, it has only just made its beginning, and it is not proficient in this way. Therefore, the glasses lady did not dare to be careless at all, she only hoped that she had made a correct and timely decision, and did not damage the young man's mental power and even soul.
"You ask me how I feel? It's terrible, it's like someone stabbed in the head, and on the way from the ambulance to the hospital, I was hit by a heavy truck, rolled out of the car, lying on my back on the asphalt, thinking that it's okay, anyway, it's not far from the hospital, and there happened to be a strong earthquake, so if I don't go to get the lunch again, I feel sorry, and I bite the handkerchief in my mouth, staring at the beautiful Grim Reaper girl who is waiting to receive my soul?"
"Ah, boy, you're exaggerating, I don't remember anyone giving you an electric shock or bloodletting. β
When Nangong Rong heard this, he suddenly burst into tears and laughed: "Wait, why do I sound like you would really do these danger tests on me if there was no accident just now?"
Someone from the science maniac immediately raised his hand to hold the glasses on the bridge of his nose to make the lenses reflect a dazzling light, and then said with a serious expression on his face: "It's an illusion." β
Illusion your sister! The young man couldn't help but glared at the glasses lady fiercely, but the guy ignored it very calmly, and after confirming that Nangong Rong was fine, he turned around and went back to the workbench to make a fuss, completely looking like he didn't intend to continue to pay attention to him.
Fortunately, the nearby assistants untied the boy in time, otherwise he might have really had a crazy attack at this time. Nangong Rong, who had regained her freedom, walked to the side of the workbench with Lin Weiyin, who came over curiously, and stood behind the glasses lady and looked cautiously at the round ball crystal.
The crystal, which was only the size of an egg, emitted a bright light, and at the same time, it was constantly vibrating, and some gadgets on the table were even shaken to "dance", which looked very weird. However, its appearance has not changed in any way, and it has not been opened to reveal what is inside, more like a power bulb than an activated one.
It lasted about half a minute, and then it was dark again, and it was calm again.
Lin Weiyin weakly reached out and poked the back of the glasses lady and asked, "Did you find anything just now?"
After the scientific madman who was lying on top of the observation instrument grabbed his hair and turned it into a bird's nest, he straightened up and said in a slightly painful tone: "No, except that the energy response is stronger than before, there is no change at all, and it is really because we cut it off too early and it failed to absorb enough spiritual power? β
Who was the person who gave the order to tear up the wires of the equipment without hesitation? Lin Weiyin glanced at the glasses lady speechlessly, and finally decided not to say anything, lest she find something interesting for herself to do when debugging the power armor components in the future.
As for Nangong Rong, who was full of black lines next to him, he couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand for a while, but he didn't pay attention to the glasses girl, but directly reached out and grabbed the crystal.
The young man's movements suddenly startled everyone, and the glasses lady directly grabbed his hand, turned her head and stared at the former in astonishment: "What are you going to do?"
"I seem to have had a very brief mental contact with this thing when it was draining my mental power, it has some kind of will hidden in it, and it doesn't seem to have any ill will towards humans. Nangong Rong paused for a moment to organize his words, and then used the analogy he had mentioned before, "It's like those weapons and treasures with souls in the movie, but it hasn't been recognized yet, and it hasn't been affected by the abyss, so I think we can try to continue to contact." β
After previous experiments, Nangong Rong was already sure that the reason why he would have a sense of danger to the ball crystal was purely because it would absorb spiritual power, but the characteristics of the young man's spiritual power determined that if he couldn't hold his hand, he would be sucked dry entirely, so of course there would be a lot of risk.
However, now that the crystal has stabilized, Nangong Rong no longer feels the danger, which means that even if he touches it directly, he will not be absorbed spiritual power now, not to mention that the young man has established some kind of connection with the crystal with his spiritual power, and he can vaguely sense each other, if he doesn't try, will he change it to someone else?
The glasses lady hesitated for a long time when she heard this, and then checked the observation instrument for a few minutes, and finally sighed with a troubled expression on her face: "No, there is really nothing found on the instrument." If this thing does have a will, it's either hidden deep enough or our instruments are too rudimentary to detect its existence. After seeing those flying machines in the abyss, I think the latter should be more likely. Well, since you don't feel in danger and want to keep trying, there's no reason for me as a researcher to stop it. Wei Yin and a few of you are all looking at it, and if you find something wrong, you will drag the boy away, understand?"
The girl who was named and the assistants around her immediately nodded vigorously, and Nangong Rong also took a deep breath lightly, and then pressed her hand on the crystal with a serious face.
....................................
Nothing happened to the birds, and it would have been more flavorful if there was a breeze blowing and rolling up a few leaves, but unfortunately it was indoors.
Receiving the gaze of so many people's meaningful eyes, even if he was as calm as Nangong Rong, he couldn't help but be embarrassed to the point of fidgeting, so the young man grabbed the crystal and held it in front of him, and even used the strength to eat milk and stared at it.
"So what are you doing here?" The glasses lady put on a strange expression of "If you continue to perform, believe it or not, I will suck you to death", raised her hand and pointed at the young man and said unhurriedly, "Is it good to cheat money by pretending to be a legendary qigong master to make gong to people?"
"No, to be reasonable, I just want to continue to send some spiritual power to this thing......"
"I see, that's right. I was sure that you were suffering from constipation, but I was mistaken. β
Nangong Rong suddenly felt that he wanted to hit someone, but he just thought about it, and he didn't really do it. And compared to messing with the glasses girl, the everyday boy felt that he had more of a need to figure out what was going on with the crystal, and he could still sense the other party's connection, but what was the trouble with this situation that never responded.
Whether this is an energy device developed or a treasure that the abyss collects and then can't transport away, the boy has already contributed part of his spiritual power, and has suffered a lot of sins for it, it can't even let out a fart after enjoying the young man's spiritual power in vain, right?
It's a pity that maybe it's really because of the lack of spiritual power he absorbed before, no matter how Nangong Rong tosses the crystal, the other party has no reaction.
At this time, the system, which had been playing a background role, suddenly spoke: "I think there is something wrong with the way you take Sao Nian, this thing has already established a connection with you, so there is no need to send spiritual power to it at all, and even if you do, it will not absorb it anymore." What you need now is to show it how to run and use the stored mental power, for example, if you fill up an engine β whether it's full or not β but you don't have the engine installed in a car, a motorcycle, or even an airplane, how do people do it?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately showed expressions of sudden realization, and Nangong Rong slapped his forehead hard, and then became more and more confused: "Wait, I don't even know whether it's an energy device or a weapon or something else, how should I use it?"
"Didn't it have a reaction to emit energy before, and you just had to find a way to make it emit more energy? If the energy is stable and continuous, it's mostly the same thing as an engine, and if the energy is explosive and lasts for a short time, and can cause great damage, then it's a weapon. I didn't find any information on the crystal used to make this thing in the system's database, and it should be the latest product of the Abyss, so I can only give you so much advice. β
In this kind of thing, the system is generally very reliable, Nangong Rong and the glasses Niang discussed it, accompanied by everyone, took the crystal out of the warehouse and came to the vicinity of the dock.
Near a very remote and dark corner of the pier, to be exact, the shape of the letter L was enclosed with steel plates, and some kind of broken metal was parked on the semi-enclosed water, with brown rust spots everywhere, and a pair of unknown seabirds even made their home on top.
"Here we are, and this is where we usually experiment with all kinds of dangerous objects. The glasses lady pointed to the tattered that was gently swaying with the waves on the water and introduced to Nangong Rong, "Even if you toss hard, it doesn't matter if you sink itβits body has already sunk anyway." β
"Uh, don't mind if I ask what this pile of rags is, right?" The embarrassed Nangong Rong seemed to have thought of something terrible, and his whole face was wrong on the spot, "A dilapidated battleship that is so damaged that it has no repair value at all?"
"It's not the kind of thing that doesn't have new ideas, it's a coastal defense weapon we made before we developed the power armor, and it took about ten minutes to attack, and the results were zero, and then it was destroyed here. β
It's not something to brag about, is it?
The introduction of the glasses mother continued: "But we also proved through it that remote control weapons are easy to be targeted by the abyss, you must know that at that time, because the combat casualties were too large, those people above were considering replacing the soldiers with unmanned automatic weapons, and our project was also set up for this." It's a pity that the effect of unmanned weapons on the battlefield is not very great, otherwise this thing would not have sunk here. Anyway, let's start testing, I'm curious to know what that crystal is for. β
No wonder you can't see the appearance of a ship at all, and after a long time, people are not ships at all. Glasses Niang and they used strange things made by themselves to experiment, Nangong Rong was originally worried that he would use the abyss-made things to experiment would not desecrate the heroic spirits of the war dead on the ship, but now he has no worries about this at all.
As someone said, let's go ahead and toss.
After having a target, when Nangong Rong contacted the crystal again, he found that the other party finally had a reaction, but this reaction seemed to be slightly different from what he imagined.
Because this time, even if he didn't enter the eerie space where there was nothing, the boy still "heard" the mechanical stiff voice of the crystal without tone and emotion in his mind:
"If you need strength, use me. β
The stunned young man turned his head to look left and right a few times, and found that everyone was looking at him, and he didn't seem to hear any strange sounds, and he suddenly understood what was going on. Nangong Rong did not speak, but asked the crystal his own question in his heart.
"What the hell are you?"
"Weapons. β
Nangong Rong was not satisfied with this answer: "Be specific." β
The crystal was silent and did not reply, and it did not appear to be thinking about the formation of sentences, and it simply ignored the boy's question.
"Hey, hey, hey, can you just say you're a weapon and don't tell me what kind of weapon it is, how can we use it?
Still no answer. Considering that the water here is relatively shallow, and there is no strong water current that can sweep away heavy objects such as small stones far away, Nangong Rong pursed his lips and really threw the crystals out hard.
I don't believe that you can continue to remain calm.
Just thinking about this, I saw the crystal suddenly bloom with dazzling purple light in mid-air, and then the entire volume also increased rapidly in the light, and in the blink of an eye, it became larger than a person.
