A few days after meeting the three Steeles, the days seemed to have returned to the ordinary routine. Qianqian still came up with all kinds of weird ideas from time to time and put them into practice in various ways.
Or I discovered it in time and gave me a strict ban. My sister is immersed in the fun of studying Japanese cuisine every day, and has recently expanded her interest to the entire Asian cuisine. I have a vague premonition that spring will be on our family’s dining table.
I'm afraid it's coming soon, and Huesca continues to study everything she sees with interest, and from time to time adds all kinds of weird things to the sad white sign at the entrance of the institute. Currently, it has
Expanding the scope of our research from science to art, from art to philosophy, and then from philosophy to religion, and in the near future there seems to be a trend towards the field of animation, which makes me feel that this and Pandora are completely at two extremes.
My sister felt a huge headache - if it weren't for Pandora's information interference and my sister's curse ability, the gate of the Xiling Research Institute would have become a tourist attraction nearby...
As for the great prophet Lin Xue who almost fell from the sky, let's not mention it... Ahem, okay, actually everyone knows what her biggest hobby is, and yes, that is to make trouble for me with all kinds of pranks.
Unfortunately, I am still in the stage of attempted resistance.
But fortunately, Lin Xue's antics are always harmless. She knows how to measure well. She knows what kind of pranks will only give me a headache and then I can only laugh, and what kind of pranks will make me really angry. Well, although
My temper has gotten so good that even I feel weird about it.
It seems that our family is really talented at eating and waiting to die. Even coming to another world to save the common people can survive the musty smell.
"Director! Saten Ruiko is here to report~~~"
With such a call full of energy, my thoughts that had begun to wander endlessly were finally pulled back. After focusing my eyes, what became clear in front of me was the black man who has been coming to the institute every day for ability development experiments recently.
Hair girl, Saten Ruiko.
What a cheerful girl. Even though the ability development experiment has not made any progress so far, she can always greet everyone in the institute so happily, even though she has been seen looking worried and lost when she is alone more than once.
, but in front of us, Leizi has never shown such emotions.
Maybe they don’t want to put more pressure on the researchers who are already working so hard, but it’s a pity that the scientists in the empire cannot understand such complex perceptual thinking. It seems that those stupid guys have begun to secretly analyze Saten Ruiko’s way of thinking...
"Hey, Leizi, come here so early today."
After letting my thoughts wander for a while, I came back to my senses and greeted the smiling girl in front of me.
"Yes! The last session today is a practical training class for ability development. Since I am an ability user who is working on the same project in a research institute, I don't need to do it in school."
"Oh," I nodded suddenly, "it turns out that what we are going to do in the institute today is capability development training..."
Lin Xue, who was walking from behind me in a white researcher robe, lost her footing and fell to the ground with a plop. Then she jumped up quickly and shouted angrily at me: "If you don't do your job properly, at least give me a lower limit, you bastard."
!”
Saten Ruiko kept a subtle expression, watching the almost daily verbal exchanges between Lin Xue and I. Even though it had been so long, she still couldn't understand the way these enemies got along, but... well, it should be
It's a different kind of friend.
"Ajun!" Just as Lin Xue and I had completed the warm-up before the battle, and were stretching our muscles to get ready to go, Qian Qian's voice came from afar, "Ajun, I didn't expect you to be here at this time.
Being able to stay in the research institute, I thought you had already gone out for a walk."
I:"……"
Well, it seems that I have been a little too distracted recently.
"Qianqian? What are you doing?"
I looked at the girl in front of me in surprise, who was obviously eager to try because she had a new idea, and questions were popping up in my mind.
"Of course I'm helping Leizi develop his abilities," Qian Qian said matter-of-factly, "I'm going to try a new project today!"
Only you take it for granted, right? Any thought that pops up in your mind is considered normal, right?
But this is a good idea...
For some unknown reason, Leizi's ability development experiments have been going very poorly. Even Xiling technology can't help her gain superpowers. This has puzzled all the Xiling technicians. They even uploaded these materials.
Bubbles were given, but even with the calculation power of the Xiling host, it was impossible to deduce the reason why Saten Ruiko's ability is zero so far.
But in fact, our efforts have not produced any changes at all.
Thanks to a large dose of Brood Crystal radiation and the efforts of many Xiling technicians, Leizi's mental power has now skyrocketed to 177 times that of ordinary humans. Although it cannot keep up with extreme special cases like Qianqian and her sister, it is
She is already equivalent to an intermediate-level mysterious Xiling apostle, but she is stuck in the link of "converting mental power into superpowers". Although Bubble cannot infer this reason from a technical level, I have a little idea.
Emotional conjecture.
Maybe it has something to do with the "concept" of superpowers in this world.
During this conversation with Saten Ruiko, I learned one thing. Although this world has the word "mental power", the strength of an esper has nothing to do with "mental power". Even Saten Ruiko
It is difficult for Zidu to understand the connection between mental power and superpowers. In other words, humans in this world do not rely on mental power to produce superpowers.
Their abilities are based on "personal reality".
According to the famous theory represented by Schrödinger's half-dead unlucky cat, the world is random at a microscopic level. It has countless possible states at the same time, and the result can only be determined the moment the observer appears, or in other words
, only the subjective consciousness of the observer can determine the direction of "facts", and what the capable person has to do is to extend this "uncertainty" from the micro world to the macro world, and artificially reset the observer's perspective with "personal reality"
Angle, thus causing various abnormal changes in the macroscopic world. For example, for those with abilities in the space system, in their perception of "personal reality", the current position of all objects should be determined by their own will. What they have to do
The purpose is to use calculations to deduce what path an object that needs to move should take in a higher dimension to be positioned in the three-dimensional space. Computing power and the degree of cognition of "personal reality" are the factors that determine the level of the ability user.
Mental strength... that's what you use to write about.
This is the concept of superpowers in this world, and it's obviously very special.
Saten Ruiko's mental power is now strong enough, but what she needs to break through is not this, but the affirmation of herself and the establishment of a logical system that conforms to her inner world. This is a constraint set by the world itself.
Humans born in this world must break through this to master superpowers, but Qianqian and her sister can completely bypass the complicated steps of "establishing a second world view", so they can master it immediately after receiving crystal radiation.
superpower.
But all this is just my conjecture. After all, such a theory sounds a bit too idealistic. Whether a person has abilities depends on whether he believes in it. It sounds like there are too many yy elements. Before I was ten years old, I always thought that I
It's Seiya, but my sister also turned into Athena...
"Okay, now for the second mental pulse impact, the experimenter please stand on the yellow platform..."
In a special testing ground located underground at the research institute, Saten Ruiko was conducting several daily stimulation tests.
This is where the nanobots were built in one day. It is protected by thirty-three types of covert mechanisms including space shields. Even if Aleister concentrated all the surveillance power of Academy City, he would not be able to think of it.
It was discovered that, unlike the conventional equipment used for camouflage on the ground, the equipment used in this circular hall with a radius of two hundred meters were all Xiling creations drawn from Bubble, specifically used to target the physiological structure of carbon-based organisms.
Various enhancements and ability development were carried out. Of course, in order to prevent Saten Ruiko from being confused, we still disguised those strange-looking things.
With such sophisticated and advanced Xiling equipment, and such a large group of professional and hard-working Xiling technicians, it stands to reason that a homeboy who enters through the front door should at least be an Ultraman when he comes out of the back door.
"But...it doesn't work."
On the display screen, the reading of controlled fluctuations in mental power is still undoubtedly null.
Lin Xue shook her head and sighed. It seemed that she had completely devoted herself to her role as a researcher - where did this girl get such a strong interest in research? She was usually either dismantling machines or a cosplay researcher.
"If it doesn't work, I have no choice but to use genetic enhancers," Qian Qian said with a frown, "Physical enhancement is also considered a type of ability user, but such a strong mental power is too much of a waste..."
"And don't you think a 100,000-horsepower Saten Ruiko is really against the grain?"
"Sister? Why are you here?"
I turned around in surprise, and it turned out that my sister had also arrived at the testing site.
"Come and see what kind of situation makes Xiling Technology helpless."
As onee-sama said, she cast her gaze towards the center of the test site. Saten Ruiko was standing on a small yellow platform, focusing on the red projections floating from all around according to the instructions in the broadcast.
This is a small test used to analyze how the experimenter's mental power changes after locking the target. Under normal circumstances, the activation of any ability is based on "target determination", but unfortunately, according to the instrument records, Zuo Tianlei
Zi's mental power did not change in any way.
"Okay, the first batch of test projects is over, thank you for your hard work."
Saten Ruiko let out a long breath, and then came to us briskly.
"how do you feel?"
"It's okay," Saten Ruiko smiled nonchalantly, "It still seems to have no effect."
Speaking of the ineffectiveness, the girl in front of me had a trace of obvious guilt on her face. It seemed that she felt that her "lack of effort" had caused the efforts of so many researchers to be wasted.
"Don't worry, take your time," I could only comfort, "By the way, what do you think of today's experimental projects? Is there anything special about them?"
What I meant was to ask Saten Ruiko which of these tests could make her feel special so that she could find a method that would be more likely to produce results. However, the other person obviously misunderstood what I meant: "It's a special place. I
I think it's very special. It's completely different from the superpower development courses held in schools. I've never heard of superpowers being developed in this way. And I've never heard of many of the things, nouns, and test items here.
Pass."
I smiled awkwardly: "This... new technology, haha..."
After chatting for a while, a notification came over the radio that the test was continuing, and Saten Ruiko threw herself into the next round of tests.
"Lin Xue, can you see anything?"
I suddenly wanted to know if this prophet who claims to be omniscient and omnipotent could know an effective development method for Leizi.
"If you really want to know, I can take a look, but I don't recommend it." Lin Xue said with a serious expression on his face, "Except for the enemy or the fate involving life and death, I basically don't do it.
Predicting a person's future, a person's future is full of uncertainty. I also think that such a changeable fate is a complete life, but just like the microscopic uncertainty principle, if I now find out Saten Ruiko
her future, then a large part of her fate will be determined, and I don’t think it’s appropriate to do so.”
Aren't you bound by fate? Lin Xue is indeed a kind girl, even though her usual personality is a bit bad.
"Of course, I think the most important thing is that the process of trying new methods one by one is very interesting~~"
I was moved too early, bastard!
"Testing suspended!"
At this moment, onee-sama's voice suddenly sounded on the radio, interrupting the ongoing experiment.
"Raizi, now go through the seventh project again and focus your attention on the blue ball of light."
As my sister's words fell, dozens of moving red light balls suddenly appeared above the projection area in the test site, and among these red light balls were mixed several inconspicuous blue spheres. These light balls
They moved irregularly, sometimes forming an S-shape, and sometimes forming a B-shape... This must have been Lin Xue's doing.
"Sister, what did you find?"
I walked over curiously, only to find that the words "Controllable fluctuations of the mental force field null" were still displayed on the display screen in front of my sister.
"That's not it." My sister shook her head, and then pointed to a line of inconspicuous data in the corner of the screen, "This data is fluctuating."
"This is...the energy distribution above the projection area?"
"Yes, this is the position of the red light ball. Its own energy fluctuation has changed, but this change is quite irregular, and no substantial effect can be seen. And more importantly, the only way for the target to change is
The reason is that Leizi 'attracted' this ball of light."
I wondered: "In other words, Saten Ruiko's own mental power does not fluctuate, and she cannot produce any abilities on her own, but she can make this change reflect her goals?"
"It's roughly like this," Sister-sama organized her thoughts, "It's a very strange phenomenon. She still hasn't shown any power she possesses, but you see, everything she 'pays attention to' has
Abnormal energy changes.”
"Haven't you noticed anything like this before?"
I wondered, with the rigorous attitude of those Xiling technicians, not to mention such an obvious change, even if Saten Ruiko sneezed during the experiment, they would definitely record it and analyze it carefully, but
Now it seems that it was my sister who discovered this situation first.
"This thing that monitors the internal energy of the target was just installed today," Lin Xue explained at the side. "Before, everyone focused on analyzing whether Leizi had released energy fluctuations, but no one expected that she would
The form of expression of her ability has nothing to do with herself, but directly expresses her own goals. In the process, her own mental power has not changed at all."
A buff cast on the target without any media or energy consumption?
Such a thought suddenly flashed through my mind, and then I couldn't control it - by the way, Ruizi's ability isn't just a halo of piety, right?
"Raiko, try to change your target," I said after receiving the broadcast, "well, displacement or something else."
Saten Ruiko nodded, and then concentrated on following my instructions. According to my visual inspection, this girl was sweating on her forehead...
"Look, look, look, energy fluctuations have appeared again!" Qian Qian exclaimed excitedly from the side.
"But in fact, no observable changes occurred."
I raised my head and glanced at several light balls floating not far away, shook my head and sighed.
Apart from the weak energy changes recorded by the instruments, there were no observable changes in those light balls.
"It seems that it's not just the energy that's fluctuating." Lin Xue focused all the monitoring equipment on those light balls. "There's also a lot of uninterpretable information. It seems that with Leizi's attention, the target has produced a lot of information out of thin air.
New information, what is this? Nagato Ruiko?"
"Stop talking," I hit Lin Xue on the head gently, "upload all the data to Bubble and see what she can analyze."
The relevant data of this experiment was recorded in detail, and then packaged and sent to the child's mother who was playing games in a certain host slot in the barrier star. Originally, I thought I would have to wait until the next day to receive a reply.
Unexpectedly, just a few minutes later, Bubble sent back a sentence:
"Did you send it wrong? Isn't this the Storm Commander's target order?"
