Chapter 531: Preliminary Test
"Get ready. ”
The two test subjects, with blank expressions and empty eyes, obediently obeyed Lenny's command and stood in the center of the field, facing the target erected twenty meters away.
"Hurry up and set up the recorder. ”
The two research assistants carefully moved several observation instruments with the support of an old camera and a cauldron to the vicinity of the subject, and pointed the lens and receiver at the subject's position, so that it was convenient to record the data generated during the test process.
After the assistants were done with their work, Lenny turned around and nodded respectfully to Jiang Yan and Lux and his party not far away, and then looked at the test subjects who were quietly standing.
"Let's get started! First of all, try to concentrate your thoughts, communicate with the spirit crystal that exists in your body, extract the spiritual power from the spirit crystal, and slowly instill it into the circuit in your arm, activating the marking circuit!" a command came from Lenny's mouth.
Without speaking, the puppet-like test subject raised his arms in unison and pointed them forward, and the skin of the arms exposed outside the sleeves was glowing with a faint green shimmer, and the lines like electric wires hidden under the skin were slowly lit up one by one, looking like striped tattoos coated with fluorescent agents.
People with a keen sense of spiritual power can easily perceive from their arms the wisps of spiritual power flowing in the flesh and blood along a trajectory like blood vessels.
As the subject instilled more and more spiritual power into the imprinting circuit buried in his arm, wisps of fine light dust from the scattered spirit seeds diffused invisibly from his arm.
"Leaking so much unnecessary spiritual power?It seems that the control needs to be strengthened, or is the channeling of the engraving circuit not perfect enough?" Lenny's eyes lingered with a hint of spiritual vision enhancement, and he clearly observed the overflow of the spirit child light dust on the subject's arm, muttered, held a copy of the experimental notebook, took out a pen and silently wrote it down.
After waiting for a few seconds, Lenny secretly breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the marking circuit on the subject's entire arm had been fully lit, representing smooth activation, smooth spiritual power transmission in the circuit, and no accidents.
"Very well, let's stop for now. "The first stage of filling all the circuits in the spell engraving is just to test whether these engraving circuits are working properly and to warm up for the next main play.
The subject did as he was told, and soon the dense lines of light like the wires on his arm dimmed.
"Well, it's okay to turn it off, and the loop is controllable. He nodded secretly and recited silently, and then Lenny issued the next command: "Reactivate the circuit, this time increase the spiritual power output!"
......Soon after Lenny's words fell, the dense circuits on the subject's arms lit up again, and the movement was obviously a little stronger than before, and the spiritual power flowed through the circuits, and there was a slight sound like a high-speed water flowing through a pipe.
By the time the spiritual power in these circuits flowed through the subject's entire arm along the specific trajectory constructed by the engraving circuit, and after converging on the palm of his hand, it had already emitted a frictional sound like thunder, which even ordinary people could feel like electric sparks.
Immediately afterward, a faint bluish-white electric light visible to the naked eye emerged from the subject's palm, condensing in front of his palm into a fist-sized spherical lightning bolt that crackled and exploded in a blinding arc of lightning.
Some of the arcs spread out and slashed directly into the grass at the subject's feet, instantly scorching several grasses and emitting bursts of light smoke with a pungent smell.
"Hurry up and control it!!" Seeing this, Lenny's face suddenly changed slightly, and he shouted: "Don't let the thunder and lightning disperse! Concentrate your mind, imagine the thunder and lightning emitted as a part of your hands and feet, and take the initiative to try to maintain it and control it! And don't stop the output of spiritual power!"
The subject did so without saying a word, staring closely at the lightning ball in front of his palm, and in Lenny's somewhat apprehensive gaze, he really suppressed the runaway of those thunderbolts, at least there would be no more spilled arcs falling on the field.
"Good, good, that's all...... Control the thunder and lightning with your mind, imagine your hand as a crossbow, think of the thunder and lightning as an arrow ready to fire, and then aim at the target in front of you!
The pupils in the subject's hollow eyes shrank slightly, and following Lenny's words, he focused his gaze on the target in front of him, raising his arm to aim at the target horizontally, as if he was aiming with a crossbow.
After brewing for a second, with a bang, the blue-white electric ball in the subject's hand turned into a bright thunderbolt as thick as an arm, and instantly crossed a distance of twenty meters and slashed at the chest of the humanoid target almost without error.
"Boom ——!"
The humanoid target made of solid wood exploded immediately, and the charred wood chips were scattered all over the ground, and a piece of wood was ignited by the heat brought by the lightning and crackled with light smoke.
This kind of humanoid target is almost no different from the human body except for the material, since the experimental subject's lightning can instantly shatter it, I'm afraid it will be similar to the result when it falls on the real human body, at least one serious injury and frequent death will not be able to run.
"Rest for three minutes and then continue. After inspecting the remains of the target, Lenny recorded the data and instructed the subject, then walked over to the recorder and began to examine the data that had just been recorded.
Outside the field, Lux watched the entire process of the thunderbolt just now from formation to attack, and his eyes flickered at this time.
"Is this what you've been researching for nearly a month......? This should be a "lightning strike," he asked, after a deep sigh.
"It's lightning strikes, indeed. Doctor, do you think my research has been successful?" Jiang Yan asked with a smile.
"In terms of power, it's a little worse than the standard "lightning strike...... However, it can barely be regarded as reaching the lower limit of 'qualified'. Lux commented, with some admiration in his eyes: "The point is, the formation process of this "lightning strike technique" actually has nothing to do with the subject's own thoughts, it is automatically completed by the "spell engraving" in his hand, and the test subject at most provides spiritual power and selects the target of the technique to attack after the "lightning strike technique" is formed, right?"
"That's right. You can see it at a glance, Doctor. Jiang Yan nodded and admitted.
"The principle is actually not far from the spirit guide, but the material is replaced with the arm of the human body, which can naturally be seen. Lux said lightly.
After finishing speaking, Lux seemed to think of something, his brows suddenly jumped, and he looked at Jiang Yan with the corner of his eyes suspiciously, and asked, "Boy Yan, you experimental subjects, I remember that they should be just ordinary people, and they don't have spiritual cultivation, right?"
"The development value of the "Spell Seal" was originally to mass-produce qualified military elven magicians cheaply, and if you have to spend a lot of time and resources to deliberately train professional elven magicians, it would be upside down, so the test subjects I use here are "ordinary people". Jiang Yan explained with a smile.
"So what I'm seeing now? They have already used their spiritual power. Lux pointed to the experimental subjects on the field: "I can also feel that the spiritual power in these two people is obviously beyond the level of ordinary people, and it is already comparable to the spiritual power of some elven magicians who have been cultivating for three or four years. ”
"Actually, Doctor, you must have guessed it, right?" Jiang Yan asked rhetorically.
"Is it the 'Soul Crystal' that Lenny just mentioned?" asked Lukes, a thoughtful look on his face.
With the name alone, he had already guessed what it was.
"Yes. 'Soul Crystal', in fact, the full name is 'Soul Transformation Auxiliary Nerve Center Crystal'. Jiang Yan nodded, looked at the experimental subjects on the field, and said with a satisfied smile: "As you said, they were actually just ordinary people before, and they didn't even have any experience of cultivating spiritual power half a month ago, so not to mention the spiritual power reserves that can release qualified elf techniques, they couldn't even control spiritual power at that time!"
"The spiritual power reserve can also be replenished through means such as spiritual energy elixir, but the control skills of spiritual power are not something that an ordinary outsider can do well with ten days and a half of temporary practice. Speaking of this, Jiang Yan smiled bitterly: "If you only have spiritual power but can't control it well, it's like letting an ignorant child put his finger into the switch trigger of a gun weapon that can easily kill people, and if you don't get it right, you will hurt your own people first." ”
"Moreover, after the spiritual power is consumed, when it needs to be replenished, can only rely on the ingestion of external resources such as elixirs? What is the difference between that and a spiritual guide weapon that has carved a spiritual guide formation and then relied on the artificial charging of a spiritual energy spar or spiritual power cultivator to replenish spiritual power for combat?"
"Although as long as you practice for a long time, it is not impossible to improve this defect, whether it is the control of spiritual power or the independent cultivation growth of spiritual power reserves in the body, you can slowly master it, but that is a bit contrary to the original intention of 'mass production and rapid success' that I wanted. So I tried to take a shortcut, and judging by the results, I was quite satisfied. ”
"A shortcut?" Lux's face was curious.
"Doctor, do you know? Every person and every living being in the world who lives in the environment of the spirit child is born with a certain spiritual power foundation in the body, which can be called innate life spiritual power, and in the daily life and development and growth, the living soul will more or less ingest more and more spirit children through various channels in the day after tomorrow, although if these spirit child energy is not refined, most of them will be naturally lost, but there will always be a little left. Jiang Yan said slowly: "The greatest ordinary thing between an elven sorcerer and an ordinary person is that he knows how to take the initiative to ingest spiritual power to increase the spiritual power reserves in his body!
"Is this different from using psionic potions or something?" asked Lukes.
"Of course, the point of my method is that as long as it is completed, it is once and for all, so that the user can complete the replenishment of spiritual power without consuming other resources, and even make the upper limit of spiritual power reserves also increase to a certain extent. ”
"Did you really do such a thing?" said Lukes, his face suddenly revealing a hint of surprise.
Although Jiang Yan said lightly, if he could automatically increase his spiritual power cultivation without cultivating, would elven magicians and elven envoys still need to spend so much effort and effort to take the initiative to cultivate spiritual power?
At least Lux had never thought of delving into such a scenario before. It's not that it's worthless, it's that it's too difficult, and in his opinion, it's a bit unrealistic.
If what Jiang Yan said was true, then how did he do it?
"Doctor, do you know the Meditation Technique?" Jiang Yan suddenly asked a question.
"The most basic spiritual power cultivation method, isn't it?" Lux said, not quite understanding why Jiang Yan was talking about the Meditation Technique at this time.
"Then you also know the advantages of the Meditation Technique, right?" Jiang Yan asked again.
"With a very wide range of adaptability, no matter what qualifications people can cultivate, as long as they persevere, sooner or later they will be able to get started and increase their spiritual power with it. And the attributes of the spiritual power obtained from this are also the most peaceful, which is easier for newcomers to control and get started. Even, even the kind of 'waste wood' physique that is inherently unable to communicate with the spirit children of the outside world can also mix and refine their own cellular vitality and spiritual power through this "Meditation Technique", so as to transform spiritual power. Lux replied, "But there are also corresponding shortcomings, the specific cultivation efficiency of the basic Meditation Technique will vary according to the individual's qualifications. Even if people with excellent qualifications practice this method, if compared to other cultivation methods, this "Meditation Technique" is recognized as generally inefficient. ”
"Yes, as you said. Jiang Yan said with a smile: "However, what I value most is the advantages of the "Meditation Technique" that are applicable to the vast majority of people, and it doesn't matter if it is inefficient, the key is that almost anyone can use it, and the risk is low, so that's it." ”
"What are you talking about this?" asked Lukes.
"You say...... What if you think of the Meditation Technique as a magic array, bury it inside the human body, and find a way to make it work automatically?" Jiang Yan smiled and put forward a hypothesis.
"Could it be ......" Lux had already guessed what Jiang Yan meant when he heard this. I want to talk about "The Almighty Supreme of All Worlds" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
