If Xia Duo is asked to recruit people by himself, he may not be able to find volunteers who are at least high-level mages, and they are living well, so why do they need to participate in such a dangerous research?

And also as a guinea pig to be studied!

Even if someone is willing to come, what is the price?

What a price it takes to buy out a high-level mage's future life, and even his life!

What's more, all you need is one volunteer!

Dean Bernie's willingness to volunteer was undoubtedly the best news for Xia Duo, and the good news continued one after another.

Unlimited time and unlimited special energy supply lines, experimental facilities that can be added at will, and experimental materials that can be applied for approval.

Such convenient conditions made Xia Duo come up with the idea of making spell chips again, but the experimental materials were more purification potions, healing potions and the like.

Mithril is also available, but it is mainly used as a facility and equipment maintenance material in the laboratory, and it is really not easy to extract enough from it for chip experiments.

However, there are other ways to achieve this by creating multiple related projects that are in high demand for Mithril.

He still needs to think about the specific details, but he already has this idea.

……

Dean Bernie was very efficient, and on the second day, all the space, personnel, and materials needed for the "negative energy de-escalation" project were in place.

The first volunteers were not alive, but five corpses.

The goal of the first phase of the project is to allow negative energy to flow through the five corpses without causing more serious consequences, such as flesh atrophy, bone mutation, and undeadness.

This requires changing the explicit manifestation of negative energy, or precisely controlling its range of action.

It's still not a small task, but with a near-unlimited supply of corpses, fifteen researchers can realize any idea in their minds.

In this way, it took less than 10 days for the project team to complete the objectives of the first phase.

The 5-ring spell [Negative Energy Control] is the main result of this stage, which can not only change the explicit manifestation of negative energy, but also accurately control the scope of negative energy.

It's a pity that negative energy is negative energy after all, no matter how it changes, no matter how it is controlled, for life, even if it is a corpse, the negative effect is still difficult to eliminate.

Although the goals of the first phase of the project are not perfect, they can also enter the second stage - living people, and they are all high-level mages!

After Xia Duo first saw that the volunteer was a corpse, he thought that even if he was a living person in the second stage, he would not immediately use a high-level mage, but he didn't expect Dean Bernie to be atmospheric.

Maybe he saw the effect of the first stage, and in the second stage, he went directly to the high-level mage.

However, when meeting the first five volunteers of the second phase, Xia Duo couldn't help but lament that he was still too young.

The first batch of volunteers in the second stage were indeed five high-level mages, but they were all high-level mages who were affected by the elves' [negative energy erosion] and were in a dying state.

The high-level mages in this state have lost consciousness, let alone cast spells, and even if they die, they cannot be resurrected.

Maybe Dean Bernie wants to reuse waste, or maybe it's a dead horse to be a live horse doctor, in short, the five volunteers sent this time are in this state.

Although the excess negative energy on their bodies has long been removed, the impact left by the erosion of negative energy is difficult to eliminate, and correspondingly-

They also have a special state of high resistance to negative energy.

This allowed the experiment to be carried out in a more bold manner, but thanks to the results of the first stage, none of the five high-level mages in the first batch who had long lost consciousness deteriorated.

Actually, it's normal to think about it.

Compared to the unstable state of the corpse, the living are in a relatively stable state of elemental equilibrium, even if this equilibrium is deformed.

In this way, the second stage was completed almost at the same speed as a fly, and the five volunteers had just been sent in the morning, and in the afternoon they were picked up by the students who had been told by Xia Duo to send someone to Dean Bernie.

The third stage is the highlight of the whole project, which requires the participation of a high-level mage or archmage in good condition.

This is also very stressful for Xia Duo and others, after all, they are living people, they may be talking to you normally one second, and they may die in an instant the next second.

"Everyone has been busy for almost ten days, let's take a day off, take care of your spirits, adjust your state, and continue the experiment the day after tomorrow.

"Although the possibility of death during the experiment is inevitable and allowed, I still hope that everyone will have more respect for life, and if possible, prioritize the preservation of the lives of volunteers, rather than using your imagination."

When the experiment was in vivo, Xia Duo noticed the signs of this, and he was not sure whether it was the effect of negative energy on the experimenter, or whether such an experiment had triggered evil thoughts that the experimenter himself might not have been aware of.

But it is necessary for him to remind everyone that ignoring life is also tantamount to disrespecting himself, and his colleagues, which is also his warning to himself.

The projection plane is certainly a dream bubble for him, but the experience and experience in it are real, if you indulge yourself here, and when you return to the main plane, how can you continue to stick to your bottom line?

The so-called cautious independence probably refers to this situation.

Of course, for using the project cover to get some benefits from the research institute for himself, it is far from touching Xia Duo's bottom line.

At least in his opinion, his contribution is fully worthy of the Institute's efforts.

Equivalent exchange is not a literal equality of numbers, but a value equivalent judged by the standard of their respective values.

For some values that are difficult to quantify, there is a complete focus.

Chardo thinks that it is equivalence, that is, equivalence; He thinks that if there is no equivalence, it is not equivalent.

……

After all, the chip trial production could not be continued, without him, it was too busy.

Even if he could dig out the Mithril needed for the experiment, Xia Duo didn't have the time and energy to do that.

Concerned about time loops, he needs to check the progress of the various projects in the partner labs every day so that he doesn't suddenly run into a time loop and miss some critical information.

Now there are more "negative energy de-escalation" projects, which take up most of his time.

Even on this day off, he had to think about the direction of the next experiment, as well as the relevant details, and from time to time he had to exchange ideas with his research assistants.

And Samuel, who also has to contact Xia Duo from time to time.

On this day's rest, Xia Duo felt more tired than not resting, of course, he was also enjoying it, and he was never tired of it.

In the middle of the night, he finally jotted down some ideas on a piece of paper that he might need tomorrow, drank another bottle of purification potion, and then hurriedly packed up and rested.
