Nine hundred and ninetieth eight chapters unstable
In Cecil, a priest may not necessarily know the holy light, and a nun may not necessarily know the healing. The stalker usually uses a big sword and a power sap. Even the peak of appearance from the elves may essentially be a bald man. To sum up, it is naturally normal for a "singer" to know how to sing.
But Gao Wen stood there and thought for a long time, but still felt that something was wrong with this matter...
But if it is not right, it is not right. Anyway, there are not many normal things on this land. He has seen the Cyberpunk's Dragon Kingdom. At this moment, Gao Wen's compatibility with painting style issues has increased unprecedentedly.
Regardless of whether the style is right or not, it will work.
He looked at the young tester in the center of the test site. The latter was now connected with the rune plug boards and the test magic terminal with the help of several technicians. Another technician came to a nearby safe box and carefully took out a device with a silver-white metallic luster, like a spine-like device - nerve thorns.
A technician came to Wendy. He first bowed to Gao Wen, and then reported to Wendy: "The tester's equipment inspection has been completed, and the personnel and equipment are in good condition, so he can conduct experiments at any time."
Wendy nodded and glanced at Gao Wen, who said no, "Then start the test... Let me see how you have achieved so far."
"Start connect the nerve thorns," Wendy immediately turned to the assistants, "prepare the nerve signal amplifier and helmet!"
The technicians started working one after another. Gao Wen saw the technician holding the nerve thorns coming to the center of the venue and carefully pasted the "artificial spine" with a silver-white metallic luster on the contact point of the tester's back neck. Other technicians came over with a strange helmet. The helmet was made of several layers of metal sheets. The most strange thing was that it completely covered the position of the eyes. Then others began to start various testing equipment and safety devices around.
They obviously did this more than once, and within just a few minutes, they were ready to test it.
The technicians left the center of the venue, leaving only the young tester standing in place, the nerve thorn behind his head was quietly hanging behind, the strange-shaped helmet covered his eyes and skull, and the back of the helmet had some soft material and was closely connected to the connection of the nerve thorn - he was waiting for further instructions, and during this period, Wendy explained the role of these equipment to Gaowen: "We specially designed a nerve thorn, which is more sensitive than the conventional model, and can allow the psychic singer to perceive abnormal mental pollution keenly, but this also creates a certain mental burden, so ordinary people need to be trained to withstand the pressure brought by this extra perception...
"The Psychic Singer's suit comes with a series of resonance substrates that can be used to release specific high-frequency or low-frequency magic oscillations under the control of nerve thorns. The effect of the 'Song of the Deep Sea' spreads out in this way. To further enhance its effect, we also designed a set of three neural signal amplifiers - the amplifiers are not activated yet, and you will see them later.
"…The helmet has a large number of nerve contacts, which are used to further enhance the connection efficiency between the psychic singer and the suit, and also have a certain protective effect..."
Gao Wen listened silently and finally couldn't help asking: "Why do you need to use armor pieces to block your eyes on the helmet?"
"...To prevent dysfunction," Wendy said with a serious expression. "In the test, we found that the perception of the psychic singers will not only greatly enhance, but also produce various 'super-sensory phenomena' that are different from humans, which involves a very complex process of nerve-soul interaction. Judging from the results, this super perception mutates the vision of the psychic singers. They will see many... things that should not be seen, and these things are likely to bypass mental protection and break through their rational barriers.
"After all, although the psychic singers are soldiers fighting against mental pollution, they are still mortals themselves. Once the protection is penetrated, they are not much stronger than ordinary people.
"So we designed this kind of visual suppression device - those armor pieces not only physically obstruct the user's vision, but also temporarily block the brain's processing of visual signals through the built-in nerve contacts of the helmet, which can maximize the prevention of mental pollution caused by visual pollution. This is much more effective than "closing your eyes."
Hetty, who was beside him, couldn't help but interrupt: "Their vision..."
"Please don't worry," Wendy smiled. "Although his eyes are blocked, the psychic singer can actually see it."
As she spoke, she raised her hand and acted at the young man in the middle of the test site. The latter immediately raised her head and waved to respond - as if his vision was not affected at all.
"Yes, I'll see," said the young tester with a smile, his nervousness seemed to have completely eased, "and it's clearer than with eyes."
Gao Wen suddenly became curious: "What is the world in your eyes?"
"This... is hard to describe. I can see everything from all directions at the same time, including the back and the ground under my feet," the young tester thought for a while and said seriously. "This is a direct perception, and all the information will be presented directly in my mind. However, almost nothing I see is colored, only gray and white at all levels, which requires some time to adapt."
"The only 'color' that psychic singers can see in this situation is the 'color' of spiritual pollution," Wendy explained next to him. "This is the conclusion that Naretiel helped conduct simulation tests - but the actual effect still needs to be tested in practice. After all, Naretiel no longer has real 'pollution'. It is still uncertain how much difference is between the divine power she simulated and the divinity in the real world."
Gao Wen nodded in a clear way, then breathed gently: "I understand, can you move on to the next step now?"
Wendy immediately looked up at the tester in the center of the venue: "Mr. Ax, are you ready?"
The young man called Ax raised his hand and gestured with a ready gesture: "It can start anytime."
"Then activate your suit - start with the three neural signal amplifiers stored in the room," Wendy nodded, "others are ready to start recording monitoring data and ready to provide magic countermeasures at any time!"
After Wendy finished speaking, the tester in the center of the venue had already started to move - he moved a joint on the magic terminal, and then a halo of magic suddenly flowed through the surface of the suit on his body. With the gradually increasing magic reaction, he seemed to have lost the constraints of gravity and began to slowly float in the center of the venue!
After a few seconds of floating, he waved his hand outside the field.
On a table in the corner of the laboratory, three diamond-shaped metal devices, about the length of forearms, flew up immediately. They passed directly over the staff on the scene and came behind the tester. With the movement of the tester's hands, these metal devices unfolded their own mechanical structures, blooming like a flower with a hard line, and fine golden sparks jumping and flashing between the "leafs", making crackling sounds. Then they began to fly around the tester, like some flexible creature.
This scene made Gao Wen open his eyes wide in surprise, and then he immediately understood: This is the effect of nerve thorns.
This is exactly what he had imagined a long time ago. The last step for ordinary people to break through the extraordinary limits and allow ordinary people to truly "release" spells - without the help of buttons and set spell models, it is directly controlled by the user's thinking and mental power, so that ordinary humans can truly perceive and control the final link of magic!
Now, this link has been realized.
"Very good, the tester is in a stable state, and the various devices are working normally... The feedback signal of the nerve thorns is clear and stable, and the brain wave reading is normal..." Yuri, who was monitoring the data next to him, said while directly using his mental power to sense the magic fluctuations at the scene, "Now let's increase the load, Mr. Ax, please try to activate the Psychic Echo, let's see the effect of the Song of the Deep Sea."
The tester floating in mid-air nodded, then raised his arm and clenched his fists slightly. A low-frequency noise sound immediately came from the three neural signal amplifiers floating behind him. The noise lasted only a short time and reached a frequency that the human ear could not receive - it sounded like it had disappeared, but Gao Wen was sure that the "Song of the Deep Sea" had begun to run and was covering the entire room, because he keenly sensed that the magic power in the air had rippled, and a slightly excited and awake power was slowly soaking in everyone's heart.
"This looks good?" He couldn't help but say to Wendy next to him, "but I heard there is something wrong with the stability of the prototype soldier?"
"Yes, there is a problem with stability. What you see now is just the minimum load, barely resisting unconscious and undirected mental pollution, but as the load increases, the prototype soldier will soon lose control of the nerve thorns..."
While speaking, the test project had reached the next stage. After collecting enough data, Yuri signaled the testers on the field to increase the intensity of the psychic echo. Gao Wen obviously felt a stronger magic power appear in the room, and he even had the illusion that his skin was slightly itchy - but all this lasted less than a few seconds.
Accompanied by a high-frequency noise, the suit on the tester suddenly flickered. The nerve thorns that had originally floated into the air with the personnel were instantly extinguished. The young man seemed to try hard to restore control of the magic, but without the assistance of the nerve thorns, he barely cushioned in the air for a while and then fell back to the ground.
Fortunately, his floating height was only a little bit, and the drop of more than ten centimeters did not cause any damage. He just staggered for a moment and stood firm, then took off his helmet in frustration.
"I lost control," he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I tried my best to maintain my energy balance, but there seems to be a part of the magic outside of my perception..."
"You have done a good job, Mr. Ax, this is a technical problem at this stage and we need to solve the next one," Wendy sighed softly, "Go and have a rest first, the next test will be until tomorrow."
"Okay, Ms. Wendy."
Gao Wen watched all this, and after the tester left, he frowned slightly at Wendy: "What's the reason?"
“Managing magic is easy for veteran extraordinary people, but it is a completely different concept for ordinary people,” Wendy sighed. “Even if nerve thorns give them the ‘physical foundation’ of perception and control magic, their minds, their thinking habits, and their neural responses will require a long process of adaptation and adjustment to master this.”
"...In other words, it is far from enough for ordinary people to perceive and control magic. Their nervous system...can't understand this?"
Wendy nodded: "It's like suddenly installing an extra limb for a person, and this limb is several times more complicated than his original limbs. The nervous system takes a very long time to figure out how to control these extra 'organs', and the human mind also needs to adapt for a long time. Of course, effective training methods may greatly shorten the adaptation process, but it takes time to summarize this training method itself. At least we don't have any idea yet - I know how to educate the extraordinary, but no one knows how to teach an ordinary person who has never used magic to cast spells."
Hetty frowned slightly: "...We probably don't have that much time."
"...Is there any 'special talent' who can quickly adapt to nerve thorns without training?" Gao Wen couldn't help asking.
"Yes, senior extraordinary people, such as mages and knights, can use the suit of the psychic singer to release the 'Deep Sea Song' without training," Wendy shrugged, "but this has lost its meaning. The purpose of the birth of the nerve thorns was to let ordinary people master magic, but now ordinary people are being turned away."
"Indeed, this is a bit ironic..." Gao Wen reluctantly agreed with Wendy's statement, "But if there is really no way, we can only allow a group of mages to receive temporary training to become psychic singers - we are now in a hurry to lack these special soldiers."
"I understand what you mean, I will make a plan," Wendy sighed, and then she seemed to remember something, "but... I suddenly thought of something."
Gao Wen and Hetty said in unison: "What did you think of?"
"We don't know how to make ordinary people quickly master magic skills, but Tifeng... They have been studying in the field of mass-producing superpowers for many years," Wendy said while thinking. "Of course, their mass-producing superpowers need to be selected from a young age and cultivated for a long time to form, but this is based on becoming a formal mage and having frontal combat power. Putting this aside, they have mature catalytic potion technology that can be used to reconstruct human nervous system, special magic rituals to enhance the magic perception ability of low-talented people, mature rapid training methods and magic stimulation techniques, which can allow people who are first exposed to magic to quickly master skills...
"If we just want to make ordinary people 'familiar with' magic power and let the nervous system of ordinary people 'adapt' to' magic power, then these technologies might be useful to us."
