Chapter 163: Arrogance
The tension was so tense that some pioneers even thought they had misheard.
Seeing that his companions did not speak, Luther had to repeat his discovery: "She did not show any evolution and adaptability, and the Calamity Mother, which had strong adaptability and evolutionary ability in the past, had no resistance in front of the Silent Wood Wedge, even after repeated seal tests, the Silent Wood Wedge could still seal her evolution and adaptability like the first contact." ”
"Luther, no conclusion about the Mother Calamity can be made lightly." A man with short gray hair and a calm and reliable temperament on his body among the pioneers slowly spoke, "You should be well aware of the characteristics of the Calamity Mother, she is evolving rapidly every moment and constantly adapting to the current environment......"
"I'm a researcher, Nick, and I wouldn't have come to that conclusion without solid research and data." Luther shook the materials in his hand in response, snapping his fingers and placing stacks of paper materials in front of each pioneer.
"I started out just to create a large box similar to a containment box to hold research samples, but I soon found out that the containment box would be breached by her evolution in a few hours, and I had to find a new containment method...... In order to ensure that there was enough time for the research, I used the Great Wishing Technique to speed up the flow of time in another laboratory in an iterative manner, and developed a large number of containment methods in one fell swoop, including the Silent Wedge......"
"I soon discovered the specificity of the Silent Wood Wedge, and in order to prove that I could really ignore the resistance of the Mother Calam, I made a number of wooden wedges with similar appearances but slightly different effects, as well as iron nails with completely different shapes but the same effect, and then divided the fragments of the Mother Calamity for a control test."
"From the targeted use of wooden wedges for resistance testing, to the use of wooden wedges and nails without the knowledge of both the operator and the Mother Calamity fragments, no one knows if it is a silent wooden wedge before it takes effect, to the final triple blind test ......"
"This test lasted for ten years in the acceleration chamber of time iterations, and the vast majority of samples will rapidly evolve resistance to the Mother Calamity fragments within a short period of time after contact, resulting in the next time they are contained by the same means, resulting in the ineffectiveness of the next containment by the same means, but the Silent Wedge and its derivatives 1, 36, and 75 have exhibited varying degrees of anti-evolutionary properties......"
"Sample No. 1, which has the effect of 70% of the Silent Wood Wedge, has an anti-evolutionary inhibition effect on the Matrix of Calamity fragments for nearly five years before being adapted to the fragments, and the effect of the repeated seal decays by about four to five percent......"
"Sample No. 36, which has 40% of the effect of the original product, has much worse inhibition of the anti-evolution inhibition effect of fragments......"
“…… Sample 75, which only lasted for an hour......"
"And the Silent Wedge, which is the original, has a lower attenuation rate for repeated seals......"
Luther deliberately paused at this point, and deliberately sold a pass to arouse the curiosity of the pioneers before continuing: "After calculating through the study of data, the final conclusion is that the silent wood wedge can indeed have an effect, and its anti-evolutionary inhibition effect can last for at least a century......"
After listening to Luther's report, the whole room fell into a brief silence - not only Nick, but all the pioneers present felt that their worldview had been shocked like never before.
For a long time, humanity has never had an advantage in the battle against the Mother Calamity.
In the old days, from guns to missiles, thermal weapons, transcendent beings used anomalous objects with strange properties to strike from a distance, and even if the Cornerstone Crystal, which can be permanently solidified through the Wishing Network, a universal wildcard material with a variety of different effects, is of little use in the face of the Matrix of Calamity.
No matter what means are used to inflict damage, the opponent will recover quickly, and will develop permanent resistance for a short time, as if mocking people's small and powerless struggles.
Humanity and the Wishing Network have no chance of winning in the face of the Calamity Mother.
This conclusion, which has been concluded after years of fighting, has become similar in the minds of the Pioneers and the Conservatives: "There are nine planets in the solar system, and the most marginal planet in the star system is Pluto. This kind of common sense is well known in the current era, and now someone jumps out to tell you: "The era of adults has changed, according to the latest research, Pluto is actually a dwarf planet and cannot be counted in the category of planets, so there should only be eight planets in the solar system......"
After a brief moment of bewildered silence, the trailblazers whispered to each other in a cacophony of conversation.
Nick coughed lightly twice, stopping the conversation that was getting louder and louder, and "So, the silent wedge you spoke of...... Can it be reproduced? Does it have the value and conditions to be put into actual combat? ”
"Of course, I have completely recorded the conceptual effect given to the silent wood wedge, as well as the conceptual elements required for processing, and copied and confirmed that it is effective, as long as there are enough cornerstone crystals, it can be mass-produced." Luther spread his hands and diligently painted the picture in his mind, "Think about it, tens of millions of Silent Wedges will be sent to the battlefield as weapons in the future, to be used against the Calamity Mother...... Even if it is further extended, the construction idea of the Silent Wood Wedge can be further excavated and more special weapons for the Mother of Calamity can be developed......"
The former researcher's pioneer danced excitedly, his face full of frenzy, and his eyes seemed to glow with a raging flame.
It was the irrepressible ecstasy of the decades-long research process after tasting countless failures and setbacks, and finally finding an opportunity to overcome the countless sighing barriers in front of me.
"Ladies and gentlemen! For too long, we have been in a vulnerable position in the war against the Calamity...... But today, we have finally found a way to fight against the Mother Calamity! ”
"The discovery of antibiotics in the old era has saved countless lives, the invention of the light bulb and the use of electricity have unlocked more time in the long night, and the casting of the Wishing Network has made our civilization progress a leap forward, so that everyone can enjoy an adequate allocation of resources...... And today, the invention of the silent wooden wedge is just as great as these products, which means that we ...... It's time to conquer one of humanity's two remaining threats! ”
The faces of the pioneers who realized the usefulness of this invention slowly began to show joy, and soon turned into loud shouts and shouts of joy to vent the joy in their hearts.
"Two major threats...... Nick looked at his fellow Pioneers who had begun to dance wildly like an earthworm, and his serious and tense face smiled a little when he was infected by their emotions, "After dealing with the Calamity Mother, the only enemy left is the Miracle Saint......
…………
"Why do you want to know about the Miracle Saint?"
Facing Vincent's suspicious and somewhat scrutinizing gaze, Wu Ming spread his hands calmly: "Because just now when we were exploring the crater, we saw the Miracle Saint again, and his goal is also to kill the Calamity Mother......"
"I wonder why you don't join forces against the Calamity Matrix if you have the same goal?"
