Chapter 40: Experiments

"Ahem, let's get started. Russell cleared his throat and said, "Estelle, put that guide on the table." ”

"Okay...... Is that okay?"

"Well, I'm sorry for you. Russell nodded and said, "Tida, are you ready over there?"

"Yes. Tita said with a smile.

"Very good...... Russell said with a serious face, "then, the measurement experiment of the 'Black Force Guide' starts now!"

Estelle: "Black Force-Guide?"

Joshua: "The name ......"

Reilly: "Awesome!"

"Well, keep it simple. Russell said, "It's all about the process, but it's not convenient to have a name. ”

"It's really, really exciting......"

"Hehe, little Tita is very motivated. Reilly said with a smile.

"Hey, hey. Two blushes appeared on Tita's face, which was very cute.

"So, it's time to get started. Russell said, "Tita, Reilly, turn on the device." ”

"Hmm. ”

"Got it. ”

The output was tentatively set at 45 percent, and the instruments began to be prepared. ”

Reilly and Tita adjusted the instrument and said, "Ready." ”

Estelle: "Good, so good!"

Joshua: "It's in tune again!"

"In the absence of input and output interfaces, we can only detect the conductive waves passing through the crystallization loop and detect the reactions that occur to them. With that, Dr. Russell pressed the switch on the measuring device.

A burst of green light descended from the tip of the measuring device, enveloping the black detractor.

"Hey, it's so dazzling. Estelle exclaimed.

"I see. Joshua suddenly realized, "This will put pressure on the crystallization circuit." ”

"That's right!" Dr. Russell said with a smile, "Tita, is the meter reacting?"

"Hmm...... It seems a little strange......"

"What's wrong?"

"The tachometer needle is shaking all the time...... It's on, it's starting to spin back and forth?!" Tita exclaimed.

"The detractor is working!" Sensing an unusual wave of energy, Reilly opened his divine vision and looked at the gospel.

A burst of black light spread out, enveloping the entire workshop. The next moment, all the instruments stopped working.

"Estelle, Joshua, go outside!" said Reilly, with a solemn face.

"Understood!"

After heading out, Joshua and Estelle saw a shocking scene.

"The lights in the city, in the city...... It's all gone!" exclaimed Istelle.

"No, it's not just the lights. Joshua said solemnly, "I think all the guides have stopped. ”

At the same time, the experiment in the workshop also reached the most critical moment.

"Grandpa! I can't go any further!" said Tita eagerly, "The measuring device must be stopped!"

"We can't stop yet!" Russell said, shaking his head.

"We're going to get the data soon!" Reilly was reluctant to give up on the results in front of him.

"Oh no!" Estelle rushed in, "all the lights in the city are out!"

"It's going to have such a big impact...... No way, that's the end of the experiment!" Russell said reluctantly.

After the measuring device was turned off, all instruments were restored to normal.

"It's back to the ......"

"Whew......"

Tita and Estelle breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's a shame that nothing was recorded. Reilly looked at the recorder and said.

"In that case, only the body of this black force guide was able to function. Russell said with a solemn face.

"It looks like the experiment has been terminated. Joshua came in from outside.

"Joshua, how's the situation going outside?" asked Estelle nervously.

"It's no big deal, the lighting is back to normal. Joshua said, "But the commotion outside has not subsided. ”

"Yes......" Estelle breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's strange, what the hell was going on?"

"If you want to explain it, it should be considered the 'phenomenon of stopping conduction'. Russell said.

"Conduction stoppage?"

"To put it simply, it's this black force guide that inhibits the operation of other devices. Reilly explained.

"I didn't expect it to have such a big reach, it's such an interesting thing. Russell said excitedly.

"Now isn't the time to be interesting...... Estelle felt like she couldn't communicate with the scholars.

"Bo~Shi~Ah!!" Master Madoc hurriedly ran in.

"Oh, this isn't Maddock. Russell smiled and said, "What a coincidence!"

"It's not a coincidence at all!" said Maddock angrily, "Every time there is a new invention that causes a commotion, how many times has it been?!

"This~ can't be blamed on me. Russell pointed to the Gospel on the table and said, "It's this black guide that did a good job." ”

"Thisβ€”this is the ......" Maddock recognized the guide at once: "I see, if this is the case, I can barely accept it......"

Estelle (whispering): "No...... Can you get away with it?"

Joshua (whispering): "No, I don't know......"

Reilly (quietly): "It's not that easy. ”

"No, that's not right! No matter what, this matter has nothing to do with you!" Maddock reacted: "The power guide will not run to the laboratory table by itself!"

"Cut~ was recognized again. Russell said nonchalantly.

Everyone was ashamed.

"Are they usually like this?" asked Reilly, curious.

"Ah...... I'm sorry......" Tita said with a blushing face.

In this way, Reilly and the others spent their first day in Chase. Since it was late at night after the experiment was completed, they spent the night at Dr. Russell's house.

The next day, Dr. Russell rushed to the central workshop early in the morning. After breakfast, Reilly and the others went to the Guerrilla Association to explain the situation of last night before going to the Central Workshop to find Dr. Russell.

"Grandpa, we're here to help. ”

"Oh, you're all here. ”

"Dr. Russell, what are you doing?" asked Astelle, curious.

"As you can see, I'm trying to cut through the shell of the black detractor with a saw, but it's not going well. ”

"Did this guy interfere with the force guide on the saw and make it not work properly?" said Reilly, pointing to the Gospel.

"You're right. Russell nodded and said, "However, if the machine doesn't work, we won't be able to investigate the internal structure of this black power guide, and that's the crux of the matter." ”

"Can't you cut this thing with human labor?" said Estelle innocently, "for example, by momentum or ......perseverance."

"How dare you say that, Istelle. Joshua said helplessly, "Didn't you try it with an alloy knife yesterday? ”

"If it was Cassius Senpai, he should be able to break through this shell with a sword. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Uh...... So, can we melt it down with fire?" said Istelle, thinking for a moment.

"If you do that, the parts inside the deductor will break. Tita said nervously.

"No......" Estil said disappointedly.

β€œ...... Wait a minute, maybe it will work!" Russell said.

"Huh?!"

"Is it a high-temperature melting method?" asked Joshua.

"How is that possible?" Reilly shook his head and said, "I think the Doctor meant to use energy other than conduction to drive machinery. ”

"That's right. Russell said with a smile.

"...... with energy other than channeling," Estelle looked puzzled.

"Is there such a way?" asked Joshua.

"Before Dr. Epstein developed the power guide, people used fire to drive machinery. Reilly smiled and said, "But where are you going to find the internal combustion engine now?"

"yes, I've never seen anything like that. Tita chimed in.

"I remember that the central workshop still had some research equipment. Russell said, "By the way, we need to find some fuel." ”

"Fuel?" asked Estelle curiously, "Is it oil?"

"Ordinary oil definitely won't work. Reilly shook his head and said, "Gasoline has to be used." ”

"That's right!" Russell said with a smile, "This might work, let's do it!"

"So, where's the internal combustion engine and gasoline? We're going to get it now. Joshua said.

β€œ...... Oops......"

"Uh...... Doctor, have you forgotten where they were?" Joshua had a sudden foreboding.

"Well, I forgot. "I simply admit it.

"Really, it's so unreliable......" Istelle began to complain again.

"These things should be recorded in the workshop. Reilly thought for a moment and said, "Let's go check it out." ”

"If you go to the lab, you should be able to find this information. Tita said.

"Calculator?" asked Estelle, blinking.

"There is a guide computer on the fifth floor, and all the information in the central workshop is recorded in its database. Tita proudly says, "This also includes the storage of the equipment. ”

"It's amazing, there's such a thing...... Joshua exclaimed.

"So, let's go to the fifth floor and have a look. Reilly said with a smile.
