A piece of equipment that could monitor a person's rationality.
Due to Gu Jun's announcement, the people in the Spell Department started to get busy early in the morning. Tong Ye was screaming on the phone; Doctor Shen was in a hurry; Yao Sinian, who came to the Spell Department on behalf of the headquarters, rushed to the Psychology Building.
There were also a few members who were called to participate in the experiment. They were waiting at the waiting area outside the lab, they had no idea what was going on.
The entrance to the lab was guarded by the Action Department. Inside the spacious lab, all the higher-ups were gathered.
Their eyes stared at the opaline in Gu Jun's hand with burning curiosity. Other than the Ancient Seal carved on it, there was nothing special about it.
But if this stone could really monitor rationality and it contained the manufacturing method, then the significance was too great.
"Take a look." Gu Jun handed the opaline to Tong Ye. Tong Ye's cautious manner was quite amusing. Gu Jun said, "It's fine as long as it's not broken. The monitoring stone doesn't need to be mentally bound to be used. It can monitor the wearer's condition in real time, that is very similar to a health watch. "
The group was instantly inspired. This meant that one monitoring stone could be used by many people and it could be used as a kind of device by the Panel of Judges.
"Does this thing need to be charged?" Tong Ye asked, "Does it have something like electricity?"
"No, but there is a consumption limit. Once the water inside the stone is depleted, it will be useless."
"Does it have to be an opaline?" Doctor Shen accepted the stone from Tong Ye. 'Another piece of super technology.'
"Yes, I have no idea why, but this technology is just like that."
After a pause, Gu Jun continued, "First, I have to explain the definition of 'rationality' here. It refers to a normal state where one's mind is not corrupted by abnormal energy. On the other hand, an abnormal state that is corrupted by the source of the spell until one loses their sense of self and goes mad is called irrational."
This was what he understood from the Pnakotic Manuscripts. "But 'rational state' cannot reflect a person's inner thoughts. A person can kill, commit crimes, and rebel in a rational state. Thinking and personality cannot be determined by reason or irrationality. "
"In other words, a person whose mind is not corrupted can also worship the King in Yellow, Cthulhu or other forces.
Of course, Gu Jun knew that this wasn't a good thing, but the Monitoring Stone wasn't a Mind Reading Stone. This was the situation.
"The human heart is complicated." As Yao Sinian spoke, Dr. Shen said, "Ah Jun, it's already very good that you can monitor the changes in his rationality. Her rationality is still there, so the old S-value assessment system can still be used. If her rationality is abnormal, then it's time to investigate what's going on. "
"Well, according to my experience …" Gu Jun frowned. "Once you come into contact with that kind of power, your mind will be eroded. Therefore, if a spell user suddenly shows signs of mental corruption when there are no records of him using spells, then he must be arrested for investigation. "
Spiritual erosion wasn't something that would happen so easily. He had experienced so many illusions, but it was only his spiritual power that was damaged.
One had to use spells or come into contact with that kind of power through other methods to be corrupted.
Therefore, even though the Monitoring Stone couldn't read minds, it had a warning function, it could expose the secret activities of the user.
"It's enough for now, it's enough." Tong Ye naturally understood that. "Today, everyone, including the canteen lady, will have to be tested, as long as it's effective."
Gu Jun smiled. Next, he demonstrated how to use it. "Pay attention to the change in its color."
When he held the Monitoring Stone, it glowed green; when Yao Sinian held it, it glowed green as well but it was lighter.
"My mental corruption rate is around 1%." Gu Jun said. Actually, the system said it was 0.32%. "That's why the color is darker than Commander Yao's."
Tong Ye and Dr. Shen both gave it a try, it glowed faintly green as well.
Gu Jun continued his explanation. There were 4 levels and the color represented was influenced by his consciousness because it was similar to the traffic lights.
Each level was further subdivided into 3 levels, light, medium and dark to represent the severity of the corruption.
Green: Safe, clean, or slightly corrupted, no influence on rationality.
Blue: Corruption requires attention, already affecting rationality.
Yellow: Corruption is very serious, it's hard to control rationality, very close to the threshold of madness.
Red: Losing rationality, in a state of madness.
Therefore, this Monitoring Stone was a direct result of combining an individual's aptitude rating, threshold of madness and real-time corruption rate.
Only light green was completely clean, the threshold of madness was dark yellow.
Everyone had different talents, but as long as their Spiritual Corruption was no longer zero, it would be revealed. It would also be revealed when they were about to go crazy.
After Gu Jun's explanation, everyone understood. Then he called the members who were on standby outside the lab to come in to give it a try.
Tong Ye and the rest were quite nervous. Wang Ruoxiang came in to touch the stone and it glowed yellow. Gu Jun said it was medium; Gao Yi came in to touch it, it was light blue, he still needed cleansing treatment; Cai Zixuan did a contrast, it was light green, clean.
Then it was Peacock's turn. Her result was medium green, there was still some slight corruption.
Following Gu Jun's instructions, Peacock entered the inner room of the lab. She closed the steel door and held the Monitoring Stone as she performed the first chapter of the Church's tome. Several mental entities were summoned and her expression shifted.
Gu Jun, Tong Ye and the rest looked through the glass window. The Ancient Seal on the Monitoring Stone glowed white, it meant the user was under mental corruption.
Peacock was stopped immediately. With a wave of her hand, the few mental entities disappeared.
Her rationality turned dark green, it was time for her cleansing treatment.
"That's great …" Tong Ye's eyes glowed, "Ah Jun, with this treasure, the Spell Department will be safe."
Dr. Shen nodded excitedly, the Monitoring Stone not only solved the biggest problem but it could also push Phecda to the forefront of the world.
Yao Sinian was also excited but his mind was racing. Could it be mass produced? How could it be marketed?
This kind of monitoring device should not only be used by the Spell Department, it should be used by every Special Mobile Force unit, every division and even every member of Phecda. Only then would they be able to prevent the infiltration of the forces of madness.
"There is no way to mass produce it with machines." Gu Jun sighed, "To make the Monitoring Stone requires mental power, it has to be carved by hand. The blueprint Atal gave me is a mental projection. I'll try to draw it out first, I wonder if it will work. I'll think of something else if it doesn't work. "
However, Gu Jun had some good news to share with them, the Cleansing Stone could be manufactured and he had the blueprint. As for the other Ancient Seal techniques in the Pnakotic Manuscripts, Gu Jun had not fully grasped them yet so he decided to leave them be.
'Should we use human labor for production? 'Yao Sinian thought.
Then Phecda would need to recruit a group of people with high mental power. They would not study spells or research but focus on mental power training and production.
They could belong to the Review Department, the Spell Department or even a new department called the Ancient Seal Department.
This would be a new profession at Phecda, an Ancient Seal stone carver.
"Ah Jun, you've made another great contribution." Yao Sinian praised, "Just this contribution alone will earn you a second Phecda medal."
Gu Jun had heard about the medal and he even knew he had a statue at Eastern State's Medical Department …
"I'll have to apply for the medal from the headquarters. I'll build another statue for him at the Spell Department." Tong Ye shrugged, "I don't need that much money."
"Erm …" Gu Jun did not know how to react, "I think I'll pass …"
He had been a statue for many years. Now that he was facing Peacock and the rest, he felt like a living statue.
After the happy banter, just as the group was about to leave the lab, Dr. Shen brought up another serious matter, "Commander Yao, I'll have to trouble you to convince the headquarters about Ruoxiang's condition."
She had been cleansed 3 times already but she was still stuck at medium yellow level. The people at the headquarters would definitely suspect something was wrong with her mind.
"I will." Yao Sinian said with a smile, "Ah Jun has already told me about it. But it's better to speed up the progress of the treatment, that way it'll be more convincing. "
Gu Jun was listening and he said seriously, "I'll go talk to her later."
Perhaps there was a way, it had to do with the reward from the abyssal mission.
