"Record"

On the 12th, the first day of the trial.

At the request of His Majesty Roland, a hazard test was carried out.

Thirty roosters were evenly placed around the bench, one of which was located at a point of direct red light.

The irradiation time is five minutes.

The target rooster reacts violently, sprinting left and right in the cage, while the other roosters do not respond.

There was a slight smell of burnt paste at the scene.

After the irradiation was over, fine burn marks were found on the feathers shed by the target rooster. However, such a small amount of damage, not enough to cause the feather to break off, should have been thrown off by the target while struggling.

The owner of the feather appears to be a little listless, but generally normal.

In this way, it is not as harmful as a torch.

Recorded by: Céline.

......

On the 13th, the second day of the trial.

There have been some changes in the situation.

The target rooster began to have diarrhea and whined, as if it had an evil plague.

Everything is fine with the other cocks.

His Majesty Roland's expression seemed to be a little solemn (this sentence was removed from the official record).

No new tests were carried out today.

......

On the 14th, the third day of the trial.

The target rooster died.

Dissection revealed fluid oozing from the subject's body, blood soaking of internal organs, and subcutaneous decay - a symptom that usually occurs only a day after the animal's death.

In other words, that red light killed the goosebump in advance while keeping the target alive?

That's where it gets interesting.

Thinking of the Cursed Temple and the story of Thorntown, as well as the scenes from the murals, it seems like that.

The cursed person is tormented in seemingly unharmed conditions, until the whole body festers, and it must be uncomfortable to watch the body die little by little, even though the person is alive.

I retract the preface, and though it's still less lethal than a torch, it's done in a much more strange way.

But His Majesty Roland has his own opinion.

He believed that it was the red light that had destroyed the living being's ability to renew itself.

At the microscopic level, which is invisible to the naked eye, the body grows and withers all the time, forming a balance between the two. Therefore, once the growth is stopped, it will lead to a large area of necrosis. The so-called curse, in essence, is like this.

Until there is more evidence to disprove this assertion, I agree (the following paragraph has been deleted from the official record).

The microscope is a fascinating invention.

In addition, the data collected from the dream world can be corroborated with observations, indicating that living organisms are built from small and growing cells.

The reason why light can penetrate the body is because the seemingly dense surface of the body is actually full of holes.

I felt like I was in a new territory.

It's just a pity that I can't enter the dream world in person.

I heard that if you want to know about related aspects, you need to reach at least "high school" level, and the average study time is nine years.

Sure enough, is it too reluctant to let Phyllis and Elena speed up this process?

......

On the 16th, the fifth day of the test.

All roosters, dead or alive, were buried deep underground.

The laboratory underwent a thorough cleaning.

After an interval of one day, the test continues.

The target was replaced with three cows, to test the potential of the Ritual Cube as a weapon, as well as the target's tolerance to red light.

......

On the 20th, the ninth day of the test.

The results were terrible.

The irradiation time of the three targets reached 10 minutes, 15 minutes and half an hour, respectively.

But even the longest exposed cows survived for four days.

Regardless of the devil's ability to resist it, it is impossible to simply stand still and wait for a long time to be irradiated - even if the "curse" will continue to deal damage, at least on the battlefield, victory or defeat will only be a matter of moments.

The scene in the temple mural where the main body defeats the object colossus with the ritual cube is really just an exaggeration.

Or...... Are they particularly vulnerable to this "cursed light"?

......

On the 21st, the tenth day of the test.

Range test.

After confirming that the Rubik's Cube would not spread the hazard to the surrounding area, His Majesty Roland agreed to the plan of outdoor testing.

The test site was still selected at the bottom of the Desperate Mountain Range.

The conclusion is quite disappointing.

The red light cannot reach more than 100 meters, and any obstruction can further weaken its penetrating range.

Some metallic substances can even block it completely.

For example, ten golden dragons stacked on top of each other.

Even pure water has a good blocking effect.

This conclusion almost vetoes its use in weapons.

......

On the 26th, the fifteenth day of the test.

Taking advantage of Nanawa's return from the front line, a cure test was conducted.

The result is actually given the difference between curable and incurable.

For example, if the irradiated cow only repairs the decayed parts of the skin and organs, the condition will continue to deteriorate, and the healed areas will be re-infected with the "curse".

However, we took a small intact organ, removed it after treatment, transplanted it to another healthy cow, and found that it did not deteriorate.

In other words, it is possible to remove the "curse" by reconstructing the body on a large scale.

But that's more than Nanawa's magic limit.

If you want to prove it, you need to use Speer Passy's access ability, so it has to be shelved.

To be on the safe side, it would be better to define it as "incurable" for the time being.

By the way, cow No. 1 finally died, surviving for ten days.

......

On the 28th, the seventeenth day of the test.

The festival cube glows blue again.

The coins are depleted.

Fortunately, His Majesty Roland still has an identical coin.

But after all, it is the raw material for making "Solar Radiance", which is not only scarce in quantity, but also extremely difficult to collect, and I feel that I am wasting the most precious resource in the world.

In addition, the magic contained in the Rubik's Cube has also bottomed out, but just like the sigils, it can be replenished at any time.

Considering its consumption, such tests should not continue any longer.

By the time the intended resistance item is tested, I hope to be able to disassemble it.

......

Roland let out a sigh of relief and closed the "Official Version of the Test Record".

"You're looking at it again. Nightingale leaned back on the chaise longue and chewed on the fish in her mouth, "Isn't it obvious that the legendary ancient treasure is nothing more than a torture instrument, and has no mysterious effect other than being used to torture the captives." ”

Indeed, as it is engraved in the frescoes, it was created for the sole purpose of torturing the enemy.

The principle is probably similar to ionizing radiation, and uranium coins are the raw material - the cause of the excitation is unknown, but the results are basically similar. The difference is that the festival cube can regulate the direction of high-energy particles, which is equivalent to directional irradiation.

Roland suspects that the red light is only used to indicate the target to be illuminated, similar to a laser sight, and not the beam itself - after all, it is too strange to be able to see a neutron beam or high-energy electrons with the naked eye.

At this point, the truth of the Temple of the Damned and the mystery of the violent death of the residents of Thorntown have all been solved.

A civilization that worships radioactive elements has used magic to create such a transformation device, which has a very simple function, and can excite a small number of high-energy particle beams after filling with high-purity radioactive raw materials. As for why it will fail after 100 meters, I'm afraid it also has something to do with magic.

It's just that this conclusion makes him a little empty.

It had already touched the higher physical level, and he thought that this thing would be a little higher, but I am afraid that in the hands of the original owner of the relic, it is no different from a whip, a guillotine and other torture instruments.

This can be regarded as a difference between civilized races.

"Your Majesty," just then, the sound of Sean's report sounded outside the door, "the Witch of Tachira has sent the latest test records. ”

"Bring it in. ”

According to the plan, this test will be the last.

Different animals were irradiated for the same amount of time to determine the specific ratio of size to tolerance.

After that, all experiments with the Rubik's Cube were suspended.

After all, uranium is hard to come by, and there are more important uses waiting for it.

Roland flipped through the notebook that Sean handed him and picked up his teacup at the same time.

It's still Selene's handwriting.

On the 30th, the nineteenth day of the test.

The test has finally come to an end.

The results are clear, the larger the body, the higher the tolerance to red light. But if you want to express it in a numerical formula, it will take some time.

Also, there was a little trouble during the test.

It's ridiculous - I wanted to use the last remaining ingredients to see if it was directly lethal, so I aimed at a fish in a glass tank.

After five minutes of continuous irradiation, the fish was still alive, but the water was already steaming hot.

In other words, it's not as lethal as boiling water - if it continues to irradiate, the festival cube will boil the water before scalding the fish to death.

Perhaps, this thing can also be used to make soup?

"Poof!" Roland spat out all the tea he had just drunk in his mouth.

"What's wrong?" the nightingale looked at him in surprise.

"I forgot about that......," muttered Roland, who had been thinking about all sorts of lofty possibilities and applications, but had neglected the most basic point, that rays were essentially a kind of energy transfer, and that with energy transfer, they could be used to boil water.

The history of the progress of human civilization itself is a process of boiling water in different ways.
