Chapter 30
James is still staying in his laboratory, the research has entered the bottleneck stage, and there is no hope of breakthrough.
Academy is not stuck with his funding, and his problem is not funding. He lacks assistants and research objects.
As Elliott said, the old apprentices who had the same problems with him died unfortunately. Those who survived were not optimistic about him, and the new apprentices failed to meet his requirements. Only Adam Is an exception.
"But that level of genius, It shouldn't be interested in my research." James Sighed thought.
He walked in his black laboratory, stopped under the optical projection from time to time, and hesitated endlessly watching runes that were not completed or were not tested after completion.
"I'm over seventy years old."
Lifespan is the sword of Damocles on top of his head. His innate talent can be said to be low, spirit. The total amount of strength is scarce. Because of continuous testing of new runes for several decades, his spirit strength has not even been constructed according to a set of system's Meditation Method. From this perspective, he is wasting time.
"Eh."
James sat slumped against the wall, heavily sighed, didn't expect the entrance guard of the laboratory suddenly lit up at this time: "Apprentice Adam asked to enter."
James' eyes suddenly lit up with amazing rays of light, he jumped from the ground, rushed to the outside and opened the door of the laboratory.
Adam came to the door of James’ laboratory according to his memory and brushed his identity certificate. He was not sure if James was in the laboratory, but he had no better way. Find him and try one's luck here.
Bang.
The door of the laboratory was roughly opened. James stared wide-eyed at Adam and asked urgently: "Do you agree to be my assistant? You agree, right? ?"
Adam took a step back, and then said, "If the reward is satisfactory to me, yes."
James grabbed Adam and sent him to the laboratory He dragged it in, and said, "Wait for me!" After saying that, he rushed into it, and after a while he took out a paper contract and handed it to Adam.
Adam looked down, and the contract wrote about the responsibilities of both parties, matters needing attention, and the confidentiality treaty. These points are very strict and there are no loopholes, except that there is a blank in the remuneration item.
James said angrily: "The laboratory has a monthly budget of 2,000 energy stones. I need 800 energy stones to maintain daily consumption. The rest will be yours!"
p>In other words, Adam can receive up to 1,200 energy stones per month. This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, which is more generous than the rewards given to new apprentices in the mission hall for less than one unit per day. There are so many.
But James immediately changed his tone and said with some embarrassment: "It's just that we need to make a little achievement in the longest three months, otherwise we will be cut off. The Approval Department has already My experimental project has lost patience. Three months is the deadline they gave me."
Adam nodded, three months means that he can get at least three remunerations. He asked James: "Mr. James, what does a little result mean?"
James replied: "A complete and valuable Meditation Method that can be implemented among apprentices." James immediately added : "In fact, there are complete results in the laboratory, but no one can verify it. After all, it is not easy for me to build a rune group."
Adam is very confident about this, this need Massively calculated empirical projects are exactly what he is good at. Building a rune group only needs a few more threads.
Adam said to James: "If the research is successful, I can no longer sign the results, but I need to have the right to use it freely."
James is busy nodded: "Of course, no problem at all."
After getting his consent, Adam wrote this article into the contract, and then wrote the monthly amount of 1,000 units in the remuneration column, and then wrote the contract It was handed over to James. James didn't care about the amount of Adam's payment. He accepted the contract with ecstasy, and then eagerly pulled Adam into the black room.
After some operations, he said to Adam: "From now on you have the right to enter the laboratory freely, but you cannot take the data out of the laboratory."
......
After this time, half a month passed quickly. During this half a month, Adam almost completely disappeared from the eyes of everyone, only in the dormitory and laboratory every day. Between points, even one meal a day is eaten in the laboratory.
James is undoubtedly a good person. Although Adam is only an assistant and a tester, he still takes care of Adam. This half a month does not require Adam to build those unproven instabilities. rune, but to guide Adam to build the basic Meditation Method, according to his words: "This kind of basic Meditation Method created by Archmage Prometheus True Spirit, has the stability of all variants of far surpasses, this kind of stability at this stage shows no matter what How the apprentices experiment with the new method, it can provide protection for the soul, so that the apprentices will not die due to multiple breaks of the spirit strength."
This is a great help to Adam, compared to being alone. Working behind closed doors, James, who has more experience in this area, made him avoid many detours. In less than half a month, the basic Meditation Method has been initially completed, and Adam can feel his fragile soul coat. With a layer of armor, more ether can be neutralized.
James is very satisfied. Adam’s talent once again exceeded his expectations. You must know that to complete the Meditation Method, at least one thousand pieces of nails are needed. An ordinary apprentice, for example, he , Every day with full effort can only build three to five pieces.
James doesn't know that this is not only the difference in the total amount of spirit strength, but also the difference in computing power. For an ordinary person, only one rune can be built at a time, but Adam has a multi-purpose innate talent. Multiple threads perform tasks at the same time to build a single rune, and then only need to group the threads together.
After half a month, James determined that Adam can withstand the negative state of rune’s broken spirit strength. He turned on an optical projection instrument and said to Adam: "Now, you try to build This set of rune, let it replace mage's armor. Be careful not to force it. If you feel a spirit strength conflict or soul fluctuation, stop immediately."
Adam turned his attention to this new set of rune, and it is still nine. It is composed of runes, but the structure of each one is more complicated than before, but this complexity does not show harmony. Adam feels that there is no need to experiment, this set of runes must be a failure.
But empirical research cannot rely on feelings. Only by experimenting can find the problem. So Adam without the slightest hesitation started the construction.
James said nervously on the side: "Compared with the original mage's armor, this set adds to the foundation of the enhancement of the spirit strength feature. If it succeeds, mage's armor will become offensive. ."
"Step by step, little by little, remove the original nails...Stop! My God, what are you doing!"
James The scholar was horrified to find that Adam's initially condensed spirit strength collapsed in an instant, and the escaping energy seemed to blow a gust of wind in the laboratory, blowing all the papers flying!
James didn’t have time to manage the messy laboratory. He was very regretful. Adam’s calmness confused him. He thought that Adam would take it easy, but now the situation is clearly Adam’s one-off Shattered mage's armor, which would cause great damage to the spirit.
He ran to the door in a panic, and wanted to apply for treatment. Adam was already his last hope. There must be nothing wrong with him!
At this moment, Adam’s nonchalant voice sounded: "As far as a single rune is concerned, it has a higher complexity than the primordial version, but the rune connection is rough and there are redundant structures. After the combination, it cannot be self-consistent. ......"
The silhouette of James running wildly freezes, turning his head to Adam without moving his body, and stiffly saying: "Are you okay?"
Adam said in a tranquil voice: "Don't worry, it's not difficult for me. And this kind of experiment is too inefficient, I can probably do it at the same time..." Adam thought about how to allocate computing power and spirit strength to get Optimal solution, and then said: "Construct four different Meditation Methods at the same time."
"Four, four? Different? The Meditation Method construction that you haven't touched before?"
"Well, yes, this is mainly because you are not familiar with the new rune, otherwise it can be faster." Adam confirmed.
James looked at Adam in amazement: "This is multi-tasking?" James has reason to be amazed. Multi-tasking is an innate talent, not because of the total amount of spirit strength or the mage level. The improvement is automatically obtained. The first two cases can only make mage think about one thing faster.
"Yes." Adam said.
This kind of monster is really enviable. If the person with this kind of innate talent was me, it would be great. James thought to himself.
Adam has been constructing rune groups during the course of speaking. The problems derived from a single combination may not necessarily apply to the whole. It is possible that this problem will be solved automatically when placed on the whole.
James silently put the three optical projection instruments next to Adam again, and looked at Adam seriously, he felt unprecedented hope, "Maybe this time can really be successful, maybe!"
......
The experiment is boring, and the demonstration is a blow to confidence and belief time after time. In a blink of an eye, two months have passed by, Adam and Zhan Both of them were crazy. The two did not return to their residences during this period. James had to teach once a week, and Adam became an otaku completely.
However, there is still no Meditation Method that can be harmonious, self-consistent and universal.
Only the last ten days are left before the three-month period. James looks countlessly old, and his youngster's appearance has become greyish when he first saw him.
