Gwen felt that any normal person would not be able to say "Are you okay?" after knowing that a supersonic flying thing had hit someone's head, even if it was a siren who could resurrect after death. But Rebecca could say that, and everyone at the scene thought it was quite normal. That was impressive …
"Not everyone's brain is as hard as yours." Noticing the awkward atmosphere, Gwen sighed helplessly and tried to smooth things over. "The out-of-control accelerator smashed Tyre back into the room and resurrected …"
"Ah!" Rebecca finally realized what was going on and quickly apologized to Tyr. "I'm sorry, this is our …"
"It's okay." Tyre waved his hand. "In fact, it's okay. I didn't even realize what happened. But then again, this thing you made is a bit dangerous. If it had hit somewhere else, it would have been a big problem …"
"Yes, it's dangerous." Gwen looked at Rebecca with a serious expression. Although Tyre had said that it was okay, looking at the mess at the scene, Gwen felt that it was necessary to deal with the accident seriously. "Although there are no serious casualties this time, this is still a serious experimental accident. The necessary procedures must be in place. After the aftermath is done, you have to sort out the responsibility and the accident report, and make adjustments to the hidden dangers of the relevant links as soon as possible. "
Rebecca shrank her neck and nodded while listening. After Gwen finished, she carefully said, "I understand, ancestor …"
Gawain heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that although the girl was occasionally careless, she would not make a mistake when it came to serious matters like this. So, after giving instructions on how to deal with the accident, he turned his attention back to the experiment.
Although there was a serious accident here, it was undeniable that Rebecca and her team had really come up with something amazing after working so hard for so long.

They had broken through the limit of missiles, a problem that had puzzled countless scholars for a long time. But just breaking through the limit of missiles, how could it cause such a huge damage at the scene?
Gwen immediately thought of the accelerator that flew out. The key clue should be left on the accelerator.
"Have you found the accelerator?" Gwen looked at Rebecca. "It should have fallen in the Whitewater River area."
"We have sent people to look for it. We have also notified the patrol near the Whitewater River and the security post on the other side of the river," Rebecca said quickly. "Before you came, we had already received a report that a deep crater suspected to be caused by a high-speed collision was found on the riverbank. It should be there now …"
Halfway through her words, a young laboratory assistant suddenly ran over from afar. The young man ran and shouted excitedly, "Your Highness! Your Highness! They found the accelerator! It's being transported here! "
Upon hearing the news, Rebecca did not celebrate. She immediately asked anxiously, "How is the scene? How is the scene? Were the crater shapes and the remnants of the nearby surface destroyed? How did they transport it back? "
"Well, it was a berm patrol team on the north bank who found the accelerator. It happened suddenly, and the patrol team was mainly volunteers, so they didn't know the details of this technical field …" The young lab assistant also calmed down from his excitement, and there was an awkward look on his face. "When the follow-up notice was sent, they had already dug out the accelerator. But the person who went to take over reported that the damage at the scene was not serious. The patrol team was quite careful when digging and did not rashly clean up the ground. "
"… Well," Rebecca sighed. "It's good news. Anyway, remind them to protect the scene. I will go and take a look myself later. By the way, the patrol team is kind. Don't blame them. We should still thank them later. "
As she spoke, she could not help but mutter, "Sigh, it seems that we need to popularize this knowledge in the future. At least, all the patrol teams and sheriffs should know that when they find similar suspicious objects, they should protect the scene and report to the higher-ups immediately. Don't rashly dig and move."
Listening to Rebecca's muttering, Gwen could not help but smile. He then shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's good that they found the accelerator. Anyway, let's roughly clean up this place first. It will take some time to transport things from Whitewater River. Let's find an intact room and get the analysis equipment ready. The accelerator caused so much damage and even left a strange trace in the air that has not disappeared until now. It must have left a lot of clues on it."
…
The people in Test Site No.1 did not have to wait too long. Soon, a magic car with the logo of the Institute of Magical Engineering came along the road to the front of the laboratory. At this time, the ruins on the side of the laboratory were less than half cleaned up. The laboratory security personnel and several technicians carefully unloaded the accelerator, which was tightly protected by a wooden box and a soft cloth, from the car and then immediately sent it to the annex building on the south side of the laboratory. Here, Rebecca and the technical team had temporarily prepared a room for analysis and testing.
The large room was brightly lit, and the ventilation system on the side wall sent in a fresh and clean breeze. Gwen, Tyre and Amber stood next to the long experiment table, watching the two young and strong assistant researchers carefully open the wooden box on the ground and transfer the contents to the table.
A dozen pairs of eyes fell on the surface of the object in an instant.
It was a metal object that had been eroded beyond recognition. One could only vaguely see that it was originally a cylinder, less than a meter in length and pitch-black in color. It might have been cast to be smooth and shiny, but now its surface was full of potholes, and it had a strange shape like a porous volcanic rock.
Gwen immediately noticed the potholes and holes that seemed to have been etched by something. After a brief look, he frowned a little. These marks did not seem surprising at first, and it was natural to associate them with ablation after experiencing high temperature. But soon he realized that the metal should not have been eroded to this extent in just a short period of time at twice the maximum speed of the missile.
Sure enough, at the same time, an old scholar could not help but mutter in confusion, "It shouldn't be … How could this thing be burned to this extent …"
Hearing the old scholar's confusion, Gwen looked at Rebecca and asked, "How severe is the ablation and impact resistance of the accelerator?"
"The accelerator is cast with purple steel and mithril alloy, and the surface is also enchanted with elements. At the beginning, we had considered that it would have to withstand high temperature, so in theory, this thing can even stay stable for a long time in magma," Rebecca immediately replied. She was also puzzled. "Generally speaking, this accelerator can only be smelted and reforged in an environment with arcane energy of a certain frequency. To burn it to this extent with normal high temperature … Although it is not impossible, the temperature is not the concept of ordinary flame. Could it be that … after an object is accelerated beyond the limit of a missile, the temperature it has to withstand is higher than being soaked in magma? "
No one could answer Rebecca's question because, since the beginning of human history, no one in the world had ever accelerated any material to such a high speed. For human beings, the field beyond the limit of a missile was a blank. No one could imagine what kind of changes and phenomena would occur when a material flew at that speed. In this matter, Gwen, the 'time-traveler', was completely on the same starting line as the local scholars.
The technicians began to study the unrecognizable accelerator. A few of the magicians began to use various spells to test the nature of the accelerator. After some brief observation and analysis, one of the technicians seemed to have found something. He pondered and said, "These marks … should not be just caused by high-temperature ablation. Look at these places. The metal inside the gap does not have any trace of melting and solidification. Instead, it seems that part of the structure has been neatly cut off. And these holes, there is no trace of melting inside. It seems that … it has directly evaporated. "
Rebecca immediately went up to take a closer look. Then, with a hint of surprise, she said, "It seems to be so!"
Gwen listened to the conversation of the experts. He was not a complete layman in the field of magic. At this time, he had a vague idea of something. He could not help but say, "That is to say, it is not just caused by high temperature. Most of the traces are actually more like … elemental erosion?"
"Yes, elemental erosion and elemental evaporation," an old scholar said, pointing to the bumpy surface of the accelerator. "Look at these parts. The metal structure of the accelerator is only slightly deformed. This means that the temperature it endured was not enough to cause such large-scale melting and destruction. These missing parts are not so much burned out. It is more like they were completely eroded by the elements and then evaporated in the main material world. "
"Elemental erosion and evaporation …" Gwen said, rubbing his chin and thinking. "I know about the phenomenon of elemental evaporation. According to the theory of the ancient Gondor scholars, when a pure element is stimulated, it will quickly return from the main material world to its corresponding elemental world. In the process, it will temporarily open a passage to the elemental realm and release a huge amount of energy … huge amount of energy …"
He could not help but think of the shocking explosion ruins on the side of the main laboratory building and the strange traces left in the air.
"So this is the reason why the accelerator caused such large-scale destruction?" Rebecca asked thoughtfully. "It caused elemental evaporation after exceeding the limit of the missile? The traces left in the air are the traces left after a temporary opening of the elemental rift? "
"This is a preliminary guess. There is no clear evidence yet." Gwen nodded. "And even if we confirm the existence of the phenomenon of elemental evaporation, we still have to figure out how it happened. Why would an ordinary piece of alloy cause such a phenomenon after being accelerated beyond the limit of the missile? What is it interacting with when it is flying at high speed? Does everything produce such a powerful 'evaporation' after being accelerated to such a speed? If the speed is a little faster or a little slower, will the situation be different? "
Gwen asked a series of questions one after another, but Rebecca and the technicians were already used to it. Their emperor was a very curious person, and even in the laboratory, he was full of exploratory spirit like a real researcher. Even they were also curious about the questions Gwen asked.
Amber stood beside Gwen, but her mind had been wandering since the beginning. Professional knowledge in the field of technology was like a book to her, and the lack of knowledge in this field could not be made up by a year or two of intensive study. She listened until now and found that she could not keep up with Gwen and Rebecca's thoughts. She could not help but poke Tyre who was standing next to her and asked in a low voice, "Can you understand?"
Tyr said matter-of-factly, "Of course, it's easy to understand. Although the sirens don't really understand the magic system of you land people, at least in the field of elements and conventional physics, we still have a lot in common with your understanding."
Amber was speechless.
Gawain overheard the conversation between Tyr and Amber. He suddenly turned to the siren and asked, "Speaking of the elemental domain, I remember that you sirens are elemental creatures, right?"
"Yes," Tyre shook the tip of his tail. "Strictly speaking, we can even be classified as' water elements'. Of course, we are much more advanced than them."
"Then do you know the relationship between the phenomenon of elemental evaporation and the flying speed of an object?" Gwen asked curiously.
"We have never encountered such a situation before because all of our high-speed aircraft are no longer usable. What we can still use are some inefficient means of transportation." Tyr sighed and said somewhat self-deprecatingly, "Although we once had a spaceship that could travel through space, but now … the sirens are no better than you when it comes to 'speed'."
"I see …" Gwen said with some regret, and then looked back at the experiment table.
The distorted and bumpy accelerator was still lying there quietly. The dark metal cylinder seemed to be locked with silent knowledge.
There seemed to be more and more secrets behind the missile limit. These secrets may not be solved in a short time, but many technologies did not require all the relevant knowledge to be decrypted before they could be applied. At this stage, what could be the use of this achievement achieved by Rebecca and her research team?
…
In the northern part of the Lolun Continent, in the depths of the distant and cold Endless Ocean, a hazy light floated in the dark seabed.
Some figures with the tail of a snake and the body of a human were moving silently and quickly near the seabed. Light balls for illumination floated around them, dispelling the darkness on the seabed.
As the team moved forward, there were some signs of chaos in the water ahead, and the number of fish in the nearby sea had significantly reduced. Some abrupt, transparent 'cracks' like ice cones appeared in the surrounding water, and the speed of the team slowed down.
"Lady Kassandra," a Naga with a trident sped up and came to the front of the team. Her slightly hoarse voice shook the surrounding water. "There seem to be many elemental cracks here."
"Strange … Why are there so many elemental cracks in the main material world?" Kassandra said with some doubts. "Tsk, this is not a good phenomenon. I don't want to deal with primitive water elements in such a desolate and remote place."
As she spoke, she looked up and looked at the dark and deep seabed in the distance.
"Speed up. We will go straight through this sea."
