Although the laboratory was designed by him, Roland was still shocked when he saw it with his own eyes.
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the pitch-black underground, the Stone of Lighting lit up the path ahead. The surrounding stone walls were covered with two-meter square lead plates, forming a regular space the size of a basketball court.
The smooth and even lead baffles were interlaced with each other. Cold light shone on them, making them look lifeless. However, it was precisely this kind of room that gave birth to a formless beauty.
This was the beauty of the industrial age.
"If we don't win the Battle of Divine Will, this place will become an ancient ruin after a few hundred years, right?" Roland whispered.
Moreover, it was a relic with a completely different style from the underground civilization and the demons.
The fine abrasion marks on the lead plate were the marks left by humans.
"Perhaps so. "Pasha gently put them down." But I have never believed as much as I do now. I believe that mankind will go to the end. "
"I think so too." Roland smiled and walked into the laboratory.
The entire room was divided into two areas, the operating area and the observation area. The two areas were separated by a concrete wall that was nearly half a meter thick, and the walls were also covered with lead plates. The glass placed in the center of the wall was specially made by Lucia. Lead oxide was added to the conventional ingredients. Limited by the level of technology, the transparency of the lead glass was far less bright than that of the later generations, but at least it allowed people to clearly see the situation on the opposite side.
"You have come, Your Majesty. A main tentacle stretched out from behind the door of the operating area, followed by Celine's huge body. Her appearance was like a scene from a horror movie, but the bolts and rulers wrapped around her auxiliary tentacles quickly weakened the feeling. "I heard Pasha's message when I was installing the last lead plate. Had Zoey and the others brought back the ancient relics? "
"It's in this box." Roland placed the lead box on her main tentacle and walked into the operating area to check it carefully.
"How is it? This place is arranged according to your requirements. "Celine raised her antennae." But is it really necessary to do this? If the curse was just a kind of light, wouldn't an ordinary wall be enough? "
"Just in case. If it were as I supposed, the light it emitted would not only be invisible to the naked eye, but would be exceedingly penetrating. Ordinary walls can indeed block it, but they need to be at least a few meters thick. " He turned around and looked at the two ancient witches. "So, don't act on your intuition. Even if the original carrier has an extremely high resistance, before you completely understand the nature of the Magic Cube, you have to follow the rules and conduct experiments."
Because the ionizing radiation would destroy the DNA structure of the cell, it would lead to the appearance of replication barriers. Therefore, the damage to tissues with fast metabolism was the greatest. Organs like the heart and brain, which would not be replaced once they matured, were much more resistant to ionizing radiation. Judging from the lifespan of the original carriers, which easily spanned several hundred years, their aging cycle was astonishingly long. In theory, they should also have a certain degree of immunity to radiation. This was also the reason why Roland asked Celine to do the test.
Celine laughed. "You look a lot like the president of the Quest Society. Don't worry, the Quest Society has always followed strict rules. I won't be careless. "
Roland nodded and said, "Then let's begin."
The isolation door was closed, leaving Celine alone in the operating room.
The first rule of the experiment was that when studying the Magic Ceremony Cube, all exits must be sealed. Except for the operator, the others could only wait in the observation area.
Through the lead glass, Roland saw Celine open the box and take out the Magic Cube.
Just as Sean had said, a faint blue light flowed through the cracks of the stone and pointed at the coin on the test bench.
"Interesting." Celine looked at it for a while. "This thing hasn't been activated, right?" "
The isolation wall blocked the sound transmission. Roland concentrated and replied in his mind, "According to Sean, the Earl of Archduke Island still had close contact with it after it emitted the blue light, so I think it's just an indicator." "
"I see." Celine grabbed the Rubik's Cube and countless tentacles surged towards it, instantly wrapping it into a ball.
"What is she doing?" Nightingale asked.
"Sensing." "Pasha explained," Tentacles are far more sensitive than human fingers. Not only do they have all the senses of touch, but they can also smell. They can also remember every bump and depression on the surface of an object. A magic genius like Celine could even construct the outline and details of the Magic Ceremony Cube in her mind. Unfortunately, this part was described by the carrier's mind, so normal people would not be able to understand it. "
"Can you see what she's sensing?" Roland was a little surprised.
"If she's willing to share it." Pasha reached out a tentacle and pointed at the glass. "Now the Magic Cube is in front of me." "
This was such a convenient ability, just like a mental network. He used to think that it could only transmit consciousness, but he did not expect that it could also share three-dimensional images.
"The length and width of the Magic Ceremony Cube are almost the same, about 15 centimeters. The inside is hollow, and I can feel the cracks. It doesn't look like a whole." Celine suddenly said.
"What do you mean?" "
"It looks like it's made of several stones. Wait … I think I found the mechanism. " "
As soon as Pasha finished speaking, the entangling tentacles dispersed, and a small opening appeared on the back of the Magic Cube, as if the entrance to a treasure that had been buried for many years had finally been opened.
"Amazing," Roland could not help but exclaim. "You've figured it out so quickly."
It had been nearly 100 years since the Magic Ceremony Cube was lost among the people, and the previous owners must have played with it a lot. However, according to the records, no one had noticed that it was actually not a complete stone.
"I told you it would be okay to give it to her," Pasha said with a smile. "The magic core of the underground civilization was pieced together bit by bit by Celine from a broken state." "
"Your Majesty, I have an idea." Celine put her tentacle into the small opening and said, "That's why it only reacted to this coin. You said that the Magic Cube had been silent for many years. At first, I thought it was because it had run out of magic power, like the Magic Stone or the Sigil. But after getting the real thing, you should have noticed that there is still magic power in it. So, what this thing lacks... is it the element that makes the Glory of the Sun that you mentioned? "
"That's what I thought." Roland curled up the corner of his mouth. "You can try to put the coin in. But it may activate the Magic Cube, so you have to be prepared." "
"Got it." Celine moved behind a baffle on one side of the test bench. It was an arc-shaped lead block with four holes in the center for the tentacles to pass through. It was like a huge shield with an observation hole. After she threw the coin into the Magic Cube, the opening immediately closed, and the light at the top turned dark red.
"Bingo!"
Roland and Nightingale looked at each other excitedly.
