Not only did Luo Nan and the others on the front deck see the entire tragic fate of Niu Gui, they also heard the three consecutive sounds of impact. Even the violent winds and giant waves were unable to completely suppress it. It felt like the bones and muscles were completely shattered. It was hair-raising.
Actually, the Battleship Slicing Blade that pierced through the giant wave earlier than Niu Gui did not return at all. After the wave that obscured their line of sight smashed down, the swift and fierce gray figure could no longer be seen.
Zhang Yingying didn't even have time to enter the cabin when she saw these changes. She was a bit stupefied.
"What's going on? And over there …. Did it run away? "
"It's dead."
"Huh?"
Luo Nan could confirm that the instant the Battleship Slicing Blade pierced through the wave, a small portion of the seawater that had been sliced apart instantly condensed into extremely fine crystals. It formed a hollow blade ring along its path of travel, and the internal diameter of the extremely sharp crystal tip was just a bit narrower than the Battleship Slicing Blade ….
The body passed through, from head to tail, the abdomen was cut open, and the back was completely torn apart. If the body was going to be put into the pot, then a few more cuts would have been enough.
Luo Nan grinned. Her Majesty Empress Wu was truly ruthless.
Both techniques were simple to the extreme, but the crystallization of the body and the diamond wall of energy were both sharp and hard. They were practically done to the extreme.
This was the effect of pure material conversion, but it was created by the extremely efficient mutual interference between the mental and the material.
Luo Nan could only see this. Then he understood that Her Majesty Empress Wu's strength, especially her understanding of material properties, was truly unfathomable.
No wonder she was able to invent a godly technique like the Condensation Ring.
Luo Nan couldn't help but think at times like this.
This lady just became an Extraordinary half a year ago?
She must be lying, right?
Regardless of whether she was lying or not, Her Majesty Empress Wu was undoubtedly doing this to express her attitude. She was expressing a meaning to the fellow spying on her in the dark.
She had no inclination for now, but she was seriously dissatisfied.
Her Majesty Empress Wu's attitude was established, but the other party didn't make any intense reactions. However, the feeling of spying still remained. It was extremely stable.
Well, it would be strange if it wasn't stable.
Zhang Yingying received a call at this time. "Boss says that this is a coward. She doesn't have the mood to care about him. She'll leave him to you."
"Oh, okay." Luo Nan answered quite delightfully.
Luo Nan had no objections to the arrangements of Her Majesty Empress Wu.
After all, the abnormal gathering of marine aberrations that served as the spy tools for the so-called "cowards" was mostly his fault. Of course, he had to bear part of the responsibility. Besides, he did not want to simply drive them away and clear the area.
On one hand, his experiment could not be interrupted. He knew that there were problems with some of the experimental subjects, but time was tight and the experimental conditions were limited. It was not easy to gather a large number of experimental subjects, so he had to be careful every minute and second.
On the other hand, it's really interesting.
He was studying the Magneto-Optical Mica, which had a high degree of interference with the will of living beings, when a fellow who also had some kind of control ability followed him without a sound.
Is it a coincidence?
Luo Nan didn't quite believe it. Even if it couldn't rise to the level of a conspiracy theory, perhaps it was some sort of special attraction?
This phenomenon was worth studying.
It was precisely because Luo Nan had agreed too quickly that many people were rather suspicious:
Did someone want to cause trouble again?
Luo Nan chuckled under Zhang Yingying's suspicious gaze. He reminded her with good intentions, "Her Majesty Empress Wu seems to know who that fellow is. Aren't you going to ask?"
"This …" Zhang Yingying was the one who brought it up first, but she was a little hesitant.
"Go, go!"
"Bring back some good news."
"It's best to reject the option of Diamond K."
"Don't forget about your friend who's worried for you thousands of miles away!"
Luo Nan didn't wait for Luo Nan to continue persuading her. The group of people in his group of friends had already reached out with their little hands one after another. They wanted to drag Zhang Yingying to find Her Majesty Empress Wu in order to alleviate the hunger brought about by curiosity.
"If the boss doesn't want to talk, then what's the point of looking for her?"
Though she said this, Zhang Yingying was unable to restrain herself. She scratched her hair, which had been drenched by the seawater, and made her way to the back of the cabin in two or three steps.
She turned her head fiercely just as she entered the cabin door. She stared at Luo Nan, "Why can't I be at ease? Don't mess around by all means, okay?"
Luo Nan looked at her innocently. What the hell are you talking about!
This was clearly arranged by Her Majesty Empress Wu.
Luo Nan's calm attitude was more or less a bit confusing. Coupled with her soaring curiosity, Zhang Yingying went to find her boss in the end.
Only Luo Nan and Meng Chong were left on the front deck.
Luo Nan maintained his silence when he wasn't asked. He was like a statue. He wouldn't budge an inch even if great waves crashed against him. Aside from his body that occasionally flickered with red light, there was nothing else eye-catching about him.
Luo Nan didn't like it, but he was more accustomed to this sort of atmosphere. He narrowed his eyes, and his senses began to focus. They pointed toward the gloomy sky, deep within the cloud layer.
There, the special structure of mica was spreading out, covering a wider and wider region of the cloud layer. It also formed an even closer two-way connection with the enormous number of life forms in the sea.
Why did Luo Nan's experiment have to be shifted to the sea?
This was because the mica, which had already touched upon the edge of the prototypical lifeform's matrix configuration, could only have the space to further transform itself through the high-frequency, dense, and repetitive connection with a large number of life forms.
This was also the foundation for the Fantasy School to realize the leap.
Luo Nan referred to the theories and materials of the Fantasy School, and he knew what he needed to do. He firmly held onto the cornerstone of the superconfiguration theory. He wasn't in a rush to seek high-end results. Instead, he carried out design on the fundamental level of matter, evolving it step by step, observing it extensively, and filtering it.
Luo Nan had done things very well before. He relied on the half-ruined brain array of the cloud organism to derive and evolve the basic structure of the magnetic-optical mica step by step, forming the results of the mica.
But as he continued down the path, especially in the aspect of observation and filtering, it really wasn't an easy task to obtain sufficient basic data in order to ensure the experimental environment.
The magnetic-optical mica was a Fantasy School. Its ideal environment for growth was the collective fantasy and belief projection of millions and millions of highly intelligent life forms. Even though these basic tasks had already been somewhat replaced by highly generalized configurations, a need was a need. It was impossible to completely replace it.
Just the few dozen people on the beach weren't enough to support the necessary environmental conditions.
Of course, the population would be denser if the experiment was conducted in a super metropolis like Ti City. But Luo Nan was embarrassed to conduct this kind of experiment on ordinary people with unknown dangers.
Plus, the moods of modern people were complex and ever-changing. Their thinking was light and not thick. For a newborn mica, this really wasn't a good resource.
The average level of intelligence of marine species was far inferior to that of a metropolis if the experiment was moved to the sea. But as the largest unified biological chain on Earth, it was reasonable to carry out an idealized combing and rectification of the laboratory type on the basis of the powerful desires and instincts of the large number of Mutants.
Reality was just like this. As the mica cast out millions and millions of control lines, it unceasingly rubbed and interfered with the life forms of the ocean. Within its structural system, a kind of subtle and fine 'characteristic' that exceeded the designed structural function itself suddenly appeared and then flickered and extinguished.
And with the passage of time, the Mutant species that possessed a higher level of intelligence gradually increased in number. The number of times the 'electrical fire' appeared grew more and more frequent. The time it existed grew longer and longer. At the same time, it interfered with the material and mental planes, forming a buzzing noise.
This kind of weak psychic wave was quickly submerged in the chaotic atmospheric environment on the material plane. Only a small amount of traces remained on the mental plane. But the level of effect they had was extremely high. The vast majority of them were in the abyss region. Only an extremely small amount was unable to avoid leaking into the sea of consciousness due to the existence of the millions and millions of control lines.
In Luo Nan's eyes, the process of the psychic wave's creation and annihilation always radiated a complex and unique radiance. If he were to boldly consider it:
Could this be "magnetic light"?
The magnetic light of the Magneto Mica?
Luo Nan needed to verify whether this was reality or just a figment of his imagination.
But at this initial stage of seeing results, the 'coward' outside of the experimental design, no, the 'factor' appeared.
Luo Nan needed to divide some of his energy to distinguish and analyze this unexpected factor. He needed to evaluate its influence on this series of experiments.
If there was no major interference, then it was fine.
Otherwise …. Of course, he needed to deal with it as soon as possible.
Luo Nan still did not know who the Extraordinary level expert that Her Majesty Empress Wu called a 'coward' was. He was unable to find its specific location, but it wasn't completely impossible to say that he had no understanding of it.
From Luo Nan's perspective, the characteristics of the Extraordinary were quite easy to identify.
This' coward 'had done something to the bodies of large numbers of shoals of fish and Mutants in advance. It had collected information and disseminated it in a manner similar to radio. Then it was received, making it impossible for others to determine its location.
However, the collection, aggregation, and transmission of information were not the natural abilities of these marine life forms. In order for them to complete this task, some modifications were needed, more or less.
In a similar situation, some organizations of orders, such as the two members of the Amaterasu Order and Luo Nan, sometimes used the method of believers. They used the power of faith on the mental plane as a base to build a kind of super connection structure in the pure mental domain. Then it seeped downwards to share the perceptual framework of the believers, achieving the effect of 'what you see is what I see'.
The superconnection of the believers was relatively restrained. If the god only used the perception of the believers in a pure and one-sided manner, and if the god did not interfere frequently and forcefully, it would be hard for Luo Nan to detect it.
Walking on the street, one could tell who belonged to who order with a single glance. Who was a believer …. In any case, Luo Nan was unable to do it.
But clearly, the 'coward' didn't use this method. Luo Nan raised his eyes to look at these marine life forms. The modifications they received were relatively more extroverted ….
At least, this was what Luo Nan believed.
