Chapter 55: The Achievements of the Mages (Two Chapters in One, One Today)

"This is the first test area, which belongs to the light attribute energy test area, and the development of light energy weapons is mainly carried out at this stage. "Under the leadership of the six speakers, a group of four people walked around the strange central tower, there are many simple buildings around the tower, these simple buildings have no protective measures, they are exposed to the sun, and there are many traces of pedestrians entering and exiting the door, which shows that the mages are quite confident in the defense here, even if they are separated from the protection of the tower, they do not need to worry about the safety of their lives.

"However, this is only the most basic stage of laboratory experiments, well, there are larger test sites in other areas outside where the experimental procedures are actually carried out. After the previous tacit exchanges, both sides confirmed that the other had seen the situation clearly and understood their implicit purpose. Therefore, the green robe mage, as the main explainer, made no secret of the research content that should be top-secret information, and introduced it in great detail, "However, due to the high danger of the outside venue, most of them are maintained by magic puppets, and if the experimenters want to go, they must be accompanied by at least one demigod powerhouse." ”

"Heh, those strong people seem to be very supportive of the work of the Tower of the Seven Dawns. Like a mere visitor, Shul followed behind with a smile on his back and an interested observer, but as for what he was thinking, of course he would not show it.

"Of course, the Pioneer Age has always been the golden age that everyone yearns for the most, and being able to emulate the feat of the Pioneer Era and open up a new territory belonging to mankind in the wilderness, as a direct participant, will definitely leave a strong mark in history, which is something that many demigod powerhouses dream of. The blue-robed mage stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Moreover, most of the strong people are still very far-sighted, they are well aware of the importance of the research of the Central Tower to the future of the magic civilization, and they understand that protecting and supporting the Central Tower is actually protecting the future of Pavatiga, so they are quite supportive of our work." In fact, the Winged Humans are located on several floating cities on the edge of the Savage Lands, and are trying to find a different path in the future, and there are also many demigods there to protect them. ”

"This is nonsense. The gray-robed mage on the side sneered, "As long as you carry out the guard work here for three consecutive months every year according to the arrangement, you can exchange for the right to use the Central Tower for a whole year, which means that during the exploration of the Savage Land, you have a safe resting place and supply base, and there is also a chance to use the ultra-long-distance teleportation array to travel between the civilized world and the Central Tower once a year, if it is replaced by you, are you willing to cooperate?"

"Tsk, reciprocity is a necessary factor for maintaining good cooperation. Shuer didn't comment on the demigods' intentions, smiled and diverted the subject, "What is this experimental area studying now?"

"An indestructible weapon of light energy. Several speakers glanced at each other, nodded to each other, and began to fiddle with the large and small experimental equipment in the simple room, most of which were magic arrays, and some were even drawn on glass, "Mia, you are a creative creator in this part of the experiment, and some of you participated, so come and help." ”

"Tsk, sure enough, I participated. Xiu'er was smiled, the mountain elf mage's hobby Xiu'er knew very well that there was an opportunity to develop such a powerful weapon, how could she miss it.

With the participation of the developers, the speed of preparation really increased a lot, and soon, all the equipment was in place, and the speakers stepped aside one by one, leaving only Mia alone in front of the equipment.

"I won't explain the detailed principle, and you won't understand the explanation. As soon as Mia spoke, she expressed deep contempt for Shuer and Judy's comprehension ability, but the two of them couldn't refute it, it should be that they really didn't understand, "In short, it is to provide a high-intensity light source for the weapon, and then use the magic array to increase the energy and concentrate the compression, so that the strength of the light source is concentrated at one point, forming a powerful destructive force." ”

"Like burning ants with a lens?" Shul blurted out.

"How boring was your childhood?" Mia gave him a blank look, not denying his guess, "It's much more complicated than that, but at least it's conceptually similar, you see......"

As she spoke, a ball of light appeared in Mia's hand, floating above her palm. Letting the ball of light hover over a circle and letting the ball of light glow on its own, Mia began to lower her head to control the complex equipment, and then, hundreds of circles of all sizes around her lit up one after another, and energy began to flow between the circles.

"Attention. As the last circle entered the active state, Mia raised her head again, "The energy of the fluorescence technique itself is very weak, even if you add the energy consumed when these circles are running, the effect is theoretically limited, at least in terms of aggression, but it turns out that this idea is wrong. ”

As he spoke, an extremely thin pillar of light shot out from the front of the magic circle, hitting a stone pillar thirty meters away at a speed that exceeded the limit of ordinary people's reactions, and continued to shine on the stone pillar. Three seconds, it only took three seconds, and the stone pillar with a diameter of twenty centimeters was burned by the light, leaving a smooth small hole, through which the pillar of light shot into the space behind the stone pillar, and gradually escaped after crossing a distance of dozens of meters.

"Tsk, laser weapons. "In the end, after the baptism of the brown star world, and the contact with the metal life form and the swarm world, the most important thing is that a certain lieutenant is constantly spurring behind the scenes, resulting in Xiu'er's knowledge of science and technology, as soon as he saw the effect in front of him, Xiu'er immediately thought of the beam weapon of the brown star civilization, think about it carefully, Mia has also experienced the brown star world, and the inspiration for her research on this weapon is naturally self-evident. Unexpectedly, in just one year, it has already achieved initial results.

"The effect is not fixed, it increases in proportion to the intensity of the light source and the complexity of the device. Seemingly dissatisfied with the effect of this epoch-making weapon, the mountain elf nodded lightly to the blue-robed mage among the speakers, "Master Yoda......"

"Good. The short blue-robed mage touched the top of his bare head, walked to the device, and clenched his fist above the circle, and immediately, the strong light came from the fist, and it was more than ten meters away, which made Shuer and Judy feel a faint pain in their eyes.

"Thank you. Due to the need to operate at close range, Mia had already brought a pair of strange black glasses at this time, and explained casually while activating the device, "Because of the high-intensity compression, the light energy emitted is highly concentrated, but it will not cause burns to the eyes." This level of light source has almost no effect other than illumination and glare, yes, but after full compression, the effect can be seen by itself. ”

"Wow", the equipment was activated, and the thin pillar of light was extremely obvious, and it was aimed directly at the target - a rock more than one meter high. The beam of light only existed for a second before the device stopped, but the effect of that second was enough, amazing enough.

The shape of the rock is irregular, but the thickness is definitely not to be underestimated, but the light hits the rock like a hot dinner knife stabbing the solidified butter, and it is useless for half a second, and the whole process, the rock does not shake at all, as if it has not borne the slightest force.

"Outside, at the test site, there is a large set of equipment covering an area of 15 kilometers, which is the most successful test product now. If that set of equipment is used, the light created by a legendary powerhouse with all his strength, through the amplification concentration of the equipment, can completely penetrate the energy shield of a demigod without the opponent's preparation, and even cause damage to the demigod's body. Of course, in the face of the demigods' prepared defenses, it still can't work, but if you continue to expand the scale of the equipment and increase the power, it may not be possible to hurt the demigod powerhouse purely with the equipment, tsk, this is still something that has never happened in the history of Pavatiga. ”

"I was thinking about how terrifying it would be to build a super-large system near a star. ”

"I can give you the answer. Mia said expressionlessly, "Then the whole system will collapse directly, wake up, any weapon has a load limit, and I don't think there are any weapons at this stage that can withstand the energy of the stars." ”

"That's the case, it's a pity. Shul sighed, not thinking at all that he was too greedy.

"When the whole system is perfected enough, and its scale and bearing capacity are strengthened, if it is installed on the Winged Man's Floating City, or directly on a Void Battleship like the Brown Starman, what effect do you think it will have?"

"Then Pavadiga has a beam weapon that poses a great threat to the weapons of war of other civilizations. Schauer said thoughtfully, "It is indeed a very valuable research result. ”

"It's not just beam weapons. At this time, the red-robed mage who had been silently on the side suddenly spoke, representing the Tower of Flames, he did not have the violence that almost penetrated the body of the elemental mage, but was quite gentle, more like a library scholar, "Two of you, please come here." ”

"Oh?" Shul looked at Judy with an inquiring gaze, fully respecting her position, until Judy smiled and nodded, and then walked behind the red-robed mage.

Along the way, I passed by a lot of simple rooms, but I didn't meet any intelligent creatures, and for the sake of a few visitors, the speakers had already blasted away all the relevant people in advance, so as not to affect the communication between the two sides by those ignorant scholars.

"This is Lab Seven. The red-robed mage walked to the back of a semicircular device and stood still, the device was like a pot, the bottom of the pot was aimed at himself, and the mouth of the pot was aimed at the open space outside, "This weapon needs the cooperation of an auxiliary personnel, Edson, you go and cooperate." ”

"Damn Tesla, why don't you go yourself, bastard. Although the yellow-robed mage known as Edson roared in a low voice of dissatisfaction, he still consciously walked to the direction of the pot mouth and stood still, and it could be seen that the pot mouth was facing him, and there was still a distance of more than thirty meters from each other, and there were more than a dozen metal pillars standing about thirty or forty meters behind him.

The red-robed mage didn't like nonsense, and he didn't bother to argue with Edson, after the yellow-robed mage was in place, Tesla began to cast spells as soon as possible, and the energy of thunder and lightning condensed around him, and soon, the electric arc visible to the naked eye was beating briskly on the surface of his body, making a crackling sound. And his hands were pressed on the device all the time, and the power of thunder and lightning passed through his body, constantly transmitting like inside the device.

The wind was calm, and the yellow-robed mage standing in front of the equipment was not attacked in any way, and it seemed that the weapon had no effect, but just when Xiuer was puzzled, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

By the way, those seemingly unrelated metal columns, metals have always been related to thunder and lightning, and the metal pillars appear there for no reason, and there must be a reason for their appearance.

The energy perception extended over, and sure enough, around the metal pillar, there was a powerful convergence of thunder and lightning energy.

It wasn't emitted by the red-robed mage, and the difference was still clear, and the energy came from the entire environment, as if it was spontaneously gathering around the metal pillar. The energy gathered became stronger and stronger, and there began to be a noticeable arc jumping between the metal columns, and the smell of burning air was filled all around, and the visual effect between the metal columns began to become distorted, which was a phenomenon caused by the dissociation of the air or the increase in temperature to a certain extent.

"Bang", more than a dozen metal pillars finally couldn't withstand the increasingly dense energy, and were blown off into several sections, and it can be seen that the inside is solid metal, and there are no artificial parts. And during the whole process, neither the space between the equipment nor the metal pillar, nor the yellow-robed mage standing in the middle, were not affected in any way, and even in the middle space, Xiuer did not feel any signs of energy flowing.

"Hiss", Shuer couldn't help but take a breath, in his memory, there was no similar weapon, but looking at its effect, it was like inducing an abnormal collection of energy at the target location, so as to achieve the purpose of long-range non-contact attack on the target.

Quite effective, in any facility, there must be metal, then if there is no targeted insulation measures or protective barriers, the fate of the internal space of the target is probably similar to that of those dozen metal columns. Shure could even imagine that if the large metal warships of other civilizations were attacked like this, it would probably have been on the path of destruction before they could figure out where the danger came from. Of course, the battleship itself will also have protective measures, such as insulating barriers, but who can guarantee that such weapons can only have an effect on lightning energy?

"We called it ionization weapons. As if he had done a trivial matter, the red-robed mage said lightly, "It is still in the laboratory research stage, and our initial goal is to extend its attack range to 10,000 kilometers. If you can ......"

The red-robed mage suddenly stopped explaining and sighed deeply, and all the speakers sighed almost at the same time.

Shuer also frowned, because on such a serious occasion, there was a smell of barbecue wafting from nowhere.

It's really fragrant.
