Chapter 711 The Best Hiders Cannot Escape From Patient Searchers
The researchers in the secret base were all very happy at this moment.
What was happiness?
It was when birds had worms to eat, Ultraman had monsters to beat, and scientists who had a research project to work on as well as all the funding, equipment, and personnel they needed.
Besides, they were exploring a whole new area.
The quantum wave reading, quantum entanglement, micro physics, string theory, space jump, and particle collisions were all so lame.
Human bodies, especially those who wielded super abilities, were the most important field of study.
The environment in the universe was too unfriendly to human bodies. The heat, the coldness, the radiation, and meteorites could all kill human beings!
It wasn’t really safe to count on the projection of equipment, particularly when technology wasn’t mature yet. During the exploration of the universe, one tiny mistake could render a team’s years of hard work useless.
A lot of wealth and lives might be wasted.
Their confidence in research might be struck too.
Nobody dared to guarantee that there wouldn’t be any mistakes in their experiments and exploration projects.
Robots were an option, but they were not technologically mature yet, and their observation wasn’t as accurate and convenient as human eyes.
Besides, to set foot out of Earth, human beings had to do it themselves, instead of launching robots into space.
If human bodies were sturdier and more resistant to high and low temperatures, there would be a lot more ways to march to space.
Many things would be easier and simpler.
Roland’s appearance had accelerated the progress in the research in that aspect.
Although they had only measured Roland’s explosion experiment and his physical reactions during the test of Language Proficiency, the researchers were all greatly encouraged to see that Roland was unscathed even though he was within the effective damage radius of the explosive.
The explosion site alone proved how resistance Roland was to blasts.
Also, it seemed that he was still improving.
That was truly incredible.
In the following days, Roland spent all his time in the underground laboratory except for the nights when he played the game in the virtual cabin.
Not just the delicious food, the tonics that could strengthen his kidney were very tasteful and enjoyable too. Those chefs were truly good.
The efficiency of his Magic Power Transformation was a lot higher.
More importantly, Roland was greatly inspired when he discussed the application of magic with the researchers.
For example, after the test to block bullets with the Magic Shield, a bald middle-aged researcher remarked, “I think it’s slightly wasteful that you just weather through the bullets.”
“Oh, then what should I do?”
“You must know that a force can be conducted and transformed,” said the bald middle-aged researcher. “I’ve checked the absorption rate of your Magic Shield, which is almost 100%. But can’t you try to transfer the brunt? For example, you can conduct the force to your feet and turn the part of the shield underneath you into a shivering membrane that can easily unleash most of the force.”
Roland was greatly enlightened.
“If you’re not standing on the ground, you can set your shield into the vibration mode entirely. It may seem silly, but the shield can spread some of the energy into the air during the vibrations.” The researcher thought for a moment and said, “But of course, if it’s impossible to modify the Magic Shield and make it vibrate, forget what I said.” “No, I think it’s possible.”
Roland quite admired the creativity of the researchers.
To be honest, he had been merely devoted to increasing his magic power capacity and the hardness of his Magic Shield.
He simply blocked all the attacks the hard way. To put it nicely, he was able to resist the attacks because he was stronger.
That was not a bad approach.
However, tricks and foundation could coexist.
They were not incompatible.
The foundation determined one’s lower and upper limits, and tricks could significantly improve the upper limit.
Next, Roland focused on modifying the Magic Shield.
After all, his safety was very important, especially in reality. Roland did a lot of experiments, both in reality and in the game, to modify the Magic Shield.
About fourteen days later, he finally created two new versions of Magic Shield, one for reality and the other for the game.
Their functions were similar, but their efficiencies were different.
It was like a double-cylinder combustion engine was essentially the same as a twelve-cylinder one, but their layouts and materials couldn’t be the same.
After the job was done, Roland went to Andonara and asked her to slash him in order to test the new shield.
Andonara quickly shook her head. She didn’t want to attack her man.
Eventually, it was her uncle Cage, who was visiting them, that accepted the task. He shot an arrow at Roland from fifty meters away.
Cage was a Warrior, but he had great archery skill too.
Roland’s blue Magic Shield was triggered and blocked the arrow. At the same time, a circle of dust spread out on the ground from his feet.
Andonara’s eyes glittered.
Naturally, she could tell that Roland’s Magic Shield had directed the attack to the ground.
Cage put the bow down, unsheathed his longsword, and asked with purpose, “You wouldn’t mind if I slash you?”
“That’s exactly what I hope.” Roland shrugged.
Andonara stood aside and smiled.
She didn’t want to attack her man, not even in an experiment.
But she knew that Roland was far stronger than her uncle, who couldn’t break Roland’s Magic Shield even if he slashed him for ten minutes.
So, she was quite relaxed.
Cage took a deep breath after receiving Roland’s permission.
Then, the sword glittered, and Roland’s Magic Shield slightly shivered as Cage cut it randomly.
The stone floor underneath his feet partly cracked.
Most of the brunt was directed to his feet.
“It worked!”
Roland looked at his magic power in the system… No more than 2% had been consumed. Under normal circumstances, he would’ve lost at least 15% after being cut by Cage for three minutes.
The comparison showed the obvious improvement of the new Magic Shield.
While Roland was still delighted, a Summoner girl on a white horse suddenly came to his
manor.
She was a rather beautiful player, and she carried Solisa’s message.
“We’ve found a nest of liches. They’re hiding themselves rather well. You’d better come with me.”
Finally, a lead on the enemy.
Roland had been waiting for that for more than two months.
His enemy was truly good at hiding. He snapped his fingers, invoked a cloud, and asked, “Do you want to ride your hose and get on the cloud to direct the way for me?”
