The next day, the third phase of the "negative energy downgrade" project finally arrived.
This morning, Xia Duo came to the laboratory early, preparing to welcome today's volunteers. As early as the day before yesterday, he received the list of volunteers. The first batch was still five people, but today only one was notified to come.
After a while, Shado met the volunteer, senior mage Matt, who was accompanied by Gabor, a student of Dean Bernie.
"Judge Matt, thank you for your selfless dedication. The Imperial Mages will definitely be grateful for your efforts in the future."
However, Matt's attitude was quite cold and he was not moved at all. "There is no need to say anything unnecessary. When will the experiment start?"
"In about half an hour, I'll let Gabr take you to familiarize yourself with the experimental procedures."
After saying that, Chateau hinted to Gabor to take Matt away.
Gable is also a researcher in the "Negative Energy Degradation" project team. He was sent by Dean Bernie to assist and supervise the experimental process. For Chateau, his execution ability is quite high.
Shortly after Matt arrived, the remaining thirteen researchers also arrived.
…
In the laboratory, Matt also had a preliminary understanding of the design and process of the entire experiment under Gabor's introduction.
As a high-level mage, although he has no attainments in the field of research, he still possesses the basic qualities of a high-level mage in the academy.
Seeing with his own eyes the orderly experimental site and various strict protective measures, his heart gradually calmed down, and his attitude towards the experimental personnel also became softer.
Originally, he came here to participate in the experiment with the intention of dying, but now seeing the situation here, he felt that he should not die miserably and silently here.
After all, who would want to die if he could live?
"Researcher McCard, can we start?" Samuel asked.
"Okay, just follow the three gradient doses of negative energy radiation discussed yesterday: high, medium and low, from low to high, in order."
Immediately afterwards, Xia Duo assigned tasks to others, "Vice Dean, you are responsible for monitoring Judge Matt's vital signs. Once there is a large fluctuation, you will immediately cast a spell to isolate and stabilize it."
"The others are responsible for recording all the changes in Matt's body after the negative energy invaded——
"Gabre, Fick, you two are responsible for recording the changes in the nodes related to the soul; Miles, Damon, you two are responsible for recording the changes in the nodes related to the internal organs of the body;
“Camilla, Bode, limb nodes;…
"As for me, as the initiator and person in charge of the project, I will perform negative energy invasion for Judge Matt."
After Sha Duo finished speaking, the others immediately expressed their agreement as usual. Only Samuel raised a different opinion, "McCarder, except that the subjects of this experiment are different, let me cast the spell. As for the monitoring of vital signs,
There are so many monitoring and protective equipment here, no matter who does it, they can do it well."
If it were the experiment a few days ago, it would not be difficult for Xia Duo to accept Samuel's opinion, but now, he shook his head.
He knew that Samuel was worried that if something unexpected happened to the experiment, he, as the initiator of the project, might not be able to accept the setback, or that he might have to bear some responsibilities that he could not yet see after the failure.
Samuel seems to be in charge of the experiment, but in fact he has good intentions.
It's just that Xia Duo is not as fragile as the other party imagined, and he doesn't care about the responsibilities he may have to bear if the experiment fails. On the contrary, he cannot give up this experience of personally casting spells.
When he returns to the main plane, he will definitely restart the "negative energy downgrade" project when the time comes. Instead of using people from the main plane to practice, he might as well become proficient here.
This way at least his psychological burden will be much less.
…
There is no need to argue too much about who is the main caster. Shado is determined and Samuel no longer insists.
Before casting the spell, Shado reminded Matt again:
"Judge Matt, please also maintain your magic vision at all times. Once you notice that your perception of the magic network is abnormal, immediately remind us. Otherwise, we will only follow the fixed procedure of the experiment, and you will only suffer additional losses."
Own."
When Matt heard this, his face became solemn and he solemnly replied: "I understand!"
"Very good! Then - the first experiment of the third phase of the 'Negative Energy Degradation' project starts now!"
After saying that, Xia Duo cast a 5-ring experimental spell [Negative Energy Control], irradiating negative energy in the form of radiation towards Matt.
In the center of the protective circle, Matt showed no resistance to this, but accepted it all with firm eyes.
Xia Duo noticed that when the negative energy radiation hit Matt for the first time, his expression did not change and he did not even move his body at all.
But in fact, according to the speculation of the researchers of the project team, even a low dose of negative energy radiation is as painful as being stabbed in the thigh with a sword.
It can be seen that Judge Matt is indeed an imperial warrior with firm faith!
…
As the negative energy radiation continues, various feedback messages continue to come in——
"At 0:05:34, the soul-related node moved slightly. It is suspected of being slightly contaminated. It has been recorded!"
"0:06:01, visceral related nodes, no exception, recorded!"
"At 0:07:12, the skeleton-related nodes moved slightly, and the bones were slightly deformed. It has been recorded!"
"At 0:07:28, the relevant nodes of the left arm were slightly moving, and the flesh and blood shrank slightly. It has been recorded!"
…
"0:09:01, vital signs stable, recorded!"
After hearing the results of Samuel's periodic reports, Xia Duo couldn't help but frowned. The research on "negative energy degradation" is indeed not that simple!
The lowering of spellcasting level is just one of the countless negative states in which negative energy invades, but now, Shado has not had time to return to the main plane to communicate with Lord Leisen about the relevant details.
Therefore, we can only use "negative energy radiation", a more comprehensive, relatively stable, and easy-to-control negative energy intrusion method.
Current experimental results prove that low-dose negative energy radiation cannot reduce the target's spellcasting level at all, and can only slightly corrode the human body.
This level of damage can be completely eliminated by just drinking a bottle of purifying potion, and there won't even be any sequelae.
"It seems we still need to increase the dose!"
In fact, Chateau also understood that low doses of negative energy radiation would have almost no results, but he insisted on starting with low doses, not only for the rigor of the experiment, but also for the little possibility that was almost impossible to exist.
If the results can be obtained using only low-dose negative energy radiation experiments, there is no need to use high doses.
Whenever negative energy invades the human body, no matter whether the dose is high or low, it will consume life. Xia Duo admires and respects these volunteers who participated in the experiment. As long as possible, he should try to save their lives.
