Chapter 184 The Secret of Magical Talent (1/2)

The Life Ritual is much larger than the Chapter of Imbalance in terms of area.

Because of biological research, there are many places that need pastures and cultivation, and the thriving growth of experimental subjects also requires sufficient small consumption.

Therefore, the Life Ritual is a corner of the continent cut directly from a dead world, and at this moment it is a giant island floating in the star world.

In the cloudless sky of the giant island, there is a small island floating. That is the core magic tower of the Life Ritual, and it is also where the biochemical witch Lydia is.

Roger was brought directly to the core tower area by Lydia's first assistant.

As soon as he stepped here, he felt that he was stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and there was no lack of malicious exploration.

The assistant felt his face change and said in surprise: "Lord Charles has a high mental power. The sky here is actually a breeding ground, with many strange star creatures. But don't worry, they are usually locked in the folded space, and only mental power can be seen."

"After the folded space, they can still invest their consciousness here, but they are all powerful beings..."

Roger was still very uneasy, so he could only quickly enter the warm white magic tower in front, which looked very warm.

"If they are not strong enough, there is no point in the experiment." The assistant comforted him, "Don't worry, they usually won't escape."

"Then...what if?"

"Then kill them."

The assistant showed an extremely confident smile and patted the sword on his waist.

Only then did Roger realize that this person who introduced himself as the assistant of the therapist was carrying a very heavy-looking sword.

But if she is a doctor, it is normal for her to have good knife skills, right?

Especially since the targets she has to deal with are those powerful celestial creatures, foreign demons, etc., right?

He nodded to comfort himself and didn't explore too much...or didn't dare to.

But with such an assistant leading him through the corridor with strange specimens, his courage gradually grew stronger.

It is worthy of being the territory of the biochemical witch. Any assistant looks very unusual.

With such a guide, even if the eyeballs soaked in the jar suddenly blinked, I would not be so scared!

To be honest, since he started here, he had the illusion that he had traveled from the magical world to the spiritual world.

Fortunately, Lydia's office was clean and bright, and the artificial sunlight pouring in from the window instantly warmed people's bodies.

If the person chatting with him... was not a pot of flowers.

This pot of flowers placed on the luxurious desk had no leaves, only a sunflower-like flower disk, on which were flashing red "melon seeds", and then formed a emoticon through flickering:

(￣▽￣)／

Is this a warm welcome from a flower?

Roger really doubted this biochemical witch, who had grown sunflowers into LED dot matrix screens. It was really scary when the flower disk suddenly turned towards him.

Roger sat on the chair that the assistant had moved out, holding the tea he handed over, looking at the strange pink liquid... he didn't dare to drink it directly.

He asked the flower uncertainly: "Ms. Lydia?"

"It's me, Sir Charles, don't be surprised. This is my improved mind projection grass."

A mature female voice sounded, "You only need to plant the main body in your body, and a flower will bloom every three days. It can communicate and chat in real time in the same world without any distance limit. If you need it, you can take some seeds away. It can improve work efficiency!"

After that, the emoticons on the flower disk also turned into ヽ(^_−)ﾉ, and it seemed very proud of its invention.

Roger: ? ? ?

Who dares to plant this kind of thing on themselves!

If it can't control it and sucks me dry, won't I become a large flower pot?

Thinking of the horror of Dagon's cancerous cells, Roger couldn't help laughing and declined Lydia's proposal, although this was her way of expressing friendliness and generosity.

But just like Frankenstein persuading people to ascend mechanically, he couldn't accept the operation of planting plants in his body.

To be on the safe side, don't touch anything in this wizard tower casually...

He didn't dwell too much on this mind projection grass, and quickly changed the subject, asking earnestly: "Ms. Lydia, I came here to ask about the basis of our magic casting, analyzing talents with body structure, have you made any progress now?"

"I didn't expect Lord Charles to be interested in this aspect... No, you are the genius who created "New Arcane", it's normal to think about these basic issues."

Lydia's voice suddenly became more energetic, and she seemed to like this topic very much. "The relationship between the human body and magic is indeed the direction I have been exploring. Thanks to the progress of arcane equipment, more detailed signals have been detected, and I have determined the fundamental source of magic casting."

She asked her assistant to turn off the lights in the office, and through a large magic projection, presented a picture that was almost the same as the human cell structure on Earth to Roger.

The majority of intelligent life forms in this world, such as humans, are still carbon-based organisms, not as incredible as elemental life forms, and the basis of the body is still cells after cells.

The same is true for immortal species.

It's just that their cells have a slower metabolic rate, and the extension of life span by professionals has not fundamentally changed the structure of their cells.

Through the fusion of magic and technology, those magicians at the forefront have long mastered more detailed cell structures, such as cell membranes, nuclei, cytoplasm and other organelles, which are not much different from humans on earth.

But the human body in this world does not have mitochondria. Instead, it uses an extra organ called the "magic core" to complete oxidation and energy supply.

"With the improvement in the accuracy of magic power observation, we have now identified the root of a magician's talent as this small organelle. The resonance coefficient of the magic core and magic power can determine an individual's magic talent."

Lydia talks about her current exploration at the forefront of the mysteries of life.

Even Queen Yongye does not always have the patience to listen to these purely theoretical studies.

At this stage, the empire is more focused on research that can bring actual production value. Lydia's explorations are the result of managing life rituals to gain profits, investing in fields of interest, and continuing research.

Because of the Virtual Magic God project, Roger was able to invest part of the funds from the Dark Night Guard and part of the funds from Terra's investment into Lydia's research.

This is why she did not hesitate to share top-secret knowledge with Roger.

Because he is the sponsor’s father!

Roger listened very carefully. Except for the formula for determining talent at the end, which he couldn't understand, Lydia's lecture was quite easy to understand.

At first glance, she looks like a veteran who often provides science education to high-ranking officials and dignitaries in order to swindle more funds.

It's normal to think about it. As a doctor and a magic potion expert, it is easier for her to contact rich people and easily obtain more funds from them to support her dreams. This is also a completely predictable operation.

Knowing that the magic core is the key to a caster's talent, Roger asked: "Can you artificially create a magic core with a higher talent, or use alchemical equipment to replace it?"

"Yes, it is not difficult to modify talents through magic means, but the upper limit of modification is very high and the success rate is very low. This cannot become my regular means of warfare, nor can it provide artificial strong men in batches." Lydia told Roger frankly The prospects here are not good.

This is a project that the Queen of Eternal Night also hopes she will promote. In the end, it may be that the current technological level of the empire is not enough to directly improve a person's magic talent by modifying his magic core.

Roger recorded that implanting the magic core changes the magic talent and can serve as a kind of system reward.

Then he asked: "What if it's not a very high talent, but just the most basic ability to sense magic power? Waiting means that there is no need to drive, you only need to sense the existence of magic power. How much can the cost of such a magic core be reduced? "

"Sorry, we have not done any experiments in this area. This low-level magic talent has no practical significance." Sunflower showed a confused expression.

─━_─━✧

"How long does it take to do a simple trial?" Roger insisted.

"Two hours, right? If you want to know the result now, I can arrange for my men to try it."

Roger nodded: "Then please arrange it, Ms. Lydia."

Sunflower was silent for a moment. It was obvious that she was just being polite, but Roger really arranged the matter.

But the sponsor’s father has the right to do whatever he wants, and Lydia quickly agreed to believe it.

Roger smiled and said: "Now let's discuss the military procurement contract, whether the equipment you provided has been revised, as well as the current cost and transaction price..."

He still has to complete the task for Margaret.

Roger himself was actually looking forward to the performance of Lydia's creations, feeling that they might be able to exert advantages that alchemy equipment could not match on certain battlefields.

The people of the Empire do not like these uncontrollable and scary magically modified creatures, especially the face-controlling Queen of Evernight, who refuses to use the equipment provided by Lydia in the regular army.

But after Roger saw its power, he felt that Lydia's creation had reached a certain level and had great potential that could be tapped.

While waiting for the results of the experiment, Roger and Lydia had a very friendly and imaginative exchange.

The magically modified creatures that Lydia can currently provide to the sea country are a series of "base corals" that can collect plankton in the sea water to quickly reproduce and grow, and use the "self-explosion fish" of different types and attributes to grow up by eating this coral. ", has extremely wide adaptability to underwater combat.

Through the modification of different cells, the self-exploding fish can have many differences in speed, volume, and explosion properties.

Such as corrosiveness, freezing, burning, magic interference, invisibility, etc.

There is also a self-exploding fish that directly explodes into an indescribable area. Entering it will continuously drop san and hear the devil's words in your ears.

Lydia said they were used to break off the queen.

Roger felt more like committing suicide.

Anyway, it was a test equipment. Lydia and her magicians who collected strange creatures from all over the universe, many of the creatures they transformed could no longer be described as "fish".

Roger and Lydia discussed how these self-exploding fish can be more creative and the export price of these equipment.

Lidya is quite happy that someone likes her equipment.

Originally, the catalog that the military reported to her was just a perfunctory attempt to prove that the empire had invested in this aspect, and it was not intended to be used.

She didn't expect that Roger would provide her with a special session. This time, the equipment to support the sea tribe, and the rest were just extras, the focus was on testing her base coral.

In return, Lydia readily adopted Roger's creative design requirements.

The host and the guest had a great time talking, and they didn't feel the time passing at all.

Having experienced countless games and fantasy texts, and using all kinds of incredible mechanisms in them to make deductions, combined with Lydia's super biological transformation ability, they created a bunch of outrageous self-destructing fish.

Let's not talk about the final actual combat effect. Some of them just thought about it and felt that the picture would be very good.

The show effect was full.

"I'm very happy that Lord Charles likes these little cuties of mine." Lydia's flower disk has maintained this expression for a long time (＃^.^＃).

She also wrapped her face with petals to emphasize her shyness.

Roger barely maintained his expression. He didn't dare to ask for more from this live version of "Beauty of the Moon and Shame on the Flowers".

After all, this is someone else's territory. If they really fight, he will be a waste.

"It is also your invention that makes me have enough expectations."

In Roger's view, these magic-modified creatures, except for the lack of automatic properties of swallowing genes of other species, already have some characteristics of the Zerg.

Swallowing a large amount of organic matter, and then rapidly proliferating to form an organized force.

They don't pursue quality, but just overwhelm the enemy with a vast number.

The most important thing is that they expand and multiply quickly, and the entry threshold is much lower than that of automated magic puppets.

Lydia is a creative biochemical witch, and she is also enthusiastic enough to continuously improve these magic creatures, and boldly absorb the new ideas Roger gave him.

In the battlefield against the Seven Gods, if these magic creatures go one step further, maybe there will be a Zerg invasion, which will bring enough trouble to the Seven Gods?

No matter what universe, this is one of the ultimate disasters.

No matter how ancient the civilization and accumulation are, facing the rapid reproduction, there are as many enemy bugs as there are materials, and they will feel sour.

Even gods may not be able to take advantage of absolute numbers.

After confirming that Lydia's level and madness are far above his needs, Roger is willing to allocate more resources to her project.

He is ready to personally supervise the battle of the Sea Country. If these base corals perform well enough, he will suggest that the project continue to rise in the war sequence of the empire.

We certainly can't just let bugs out of this world, but if any of the sons of the system feel desperate and frustrated, maybe they need an ultimate weapon that can destroy the enemy together?

The chapter of imbalance is preparing answers in this regard, but it still needs a long development cycle.

In terms of pure destructive power, Lydia is temporarily ahead.

As long as you are brave enough, biochemical magic modification can bring many surprises accidentally.

This kind of research on raising insects is actually drawing cards. Uncontrollable ones will lead to a greater probability of losing money, but it is also possible to get something very scary.

More funds, more crazy and bold ideas, Roger's visit made Lydia gain a lot.

About two hours later.

A petite, long black hair, wearing a white coat, and a cold-faced loli no more than 1.4 meters tall appeared at the door of the office.

That familiar sexy voice sounded: "Lord Charles, the minimum magic core cost list you want."

"Ms. Lydia?" Roger looked at this loli unexpectedly.

"That's why I'd rather be a weed!" The black-haired loli sensed his surprise, raised her fist threateningly, and then showed a rather helpless expression.

You blame me for not growing taller?

ps. There was a burst update event for the anniversary celebration. I wanted to show off my hand speed, but today I saw that our team was crushed by the opponent with one million words.

How can we win?

Instantly, I lay flat...

Iron juice, it's not that I'm not doing well, but the opponent really has Gundam, right?
