Master of Thermodynamics

Tututat City, business district, F-1 area.

Due to the blockade, this bustling business district has become indifferent.

The first to bear the brunt was the Allen Bute Chamber of Commerce and the surrounding 5 or 6 chambers of commerce, which were forced to relocate almost the day after the army entered.

Other chambers of commerce in the area also relocated one after another or closed their business behind closed doors in the next few days.

However, the lords of the Political Affairs Department still have a conscience. If a chamber of commerce is willing to sell real estate and completely move out of the area, the Political Affairs Department will spend a sum of money to buy it back.

Although this amount of money is not too much, less than 40% of the normal price, it has reduced everyone's losses at any rate, and will not lose all the underwear.

In addition, due to the panic caused by rumors, the flow of people in nearby areas has also been greatly reduced, and a small number of chambers of commerce have chosen to move out or are preparing to move.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Early in the morning, the "Foster Downs Carter" Chamber of Commerce located in the F-2 area, outside its closed door, there was a loud knock on the door.

The sleepy-eyed Chamber of Commerce was in charge. While cursing in a low voice, he opened the door, and immediately saw two soldiers in standard leather armor standing outside the door with magic air guns behind their backs.

Looking at the leather armor style and the armband on the right arm, he immediately judged that the opponent was an army soldier from the Southern Military District.

Behind the two soldiers followed a young man in a light gray uniform and a beanie.

For this kind of uniform, the steward sees it almost every day, and it is very familiar. This is the work clothes of the Tututat City Department of Commerce.

The old manager's face instantly piled up a smile, and he nodded and said:

"Good morning, lords...Is there anything I need to do?"

One of the soldiers raised his hand to salute, and said aloud:

"This gentleman, at around 10 o'clock this morning, the military will conduct a military experiment in the F-1 area of ​​the commercial district... This experiment may have a certain impact on the residents in the nearby area, so please Your Chamber of Commerce immediately evacuated all personnel."

"When evacuating, you only need to bring personal belongings, not bulky items or goods... Please rest assured that the military will be responsible for the safety of your chamber of commerce's property. If there is any property loss, the military will definitely compensate for the original price..."

The staff of the Department of Commerce immediately added:

"During the experiment period, the Political Affairs Office will give each person a subsidy of 1 silver nar/day, and the shelters outside the city will also provide free three meals and accommodation. Please go there by yourself... In addition, before paying the business tax this month At that time, the Department of Commerce will give your Chamber of Commerce a certain amount of tax relief."

"By the way, before the experiment is over, please do not return... The specific end time will be notified separately..."

The manager froze for a while before he realized that the experiment mentioned by the other party was probably very important, otherwise the two major forces of military and political forces in Tututat City would not be dispatched at the same time.

He replied decisively:

"Okay, sir...I will arrange the evacuation of all the Chamber of Commerce staff immediately..."

The same scene was being staged at the same time in several areas near the F-1 area, with civilians constantly leaving their homes anxiously and heading to the designated resettlement locations.

On the periphery of the blockade circle in the F-1 area, the army temporarily established a larger blockade circle covering several surrounding areas.

In the blocked area, except for the relevant personnel, no one else is allowed to enter.

On the other hand, "a subsidy of 1 silver nar/day per person" and "free three meals and accommodation" also fully reflect Renault's ruling thinking-to take care of the low-level civilians as much as possible.

For the rich, these conditions are not attractive, and a silver nar is not enough for a meal.

However, for the civilians who "worry about hunger if you don't work in a day", this is simply the warmest care in the cold winter.

The most important reason why the "Sapphire Lake" family that ruled this country for the previous year was forgotten by the civilians at the speed of light.

The reason why Renault, who has been on the throne of the highest speaker for just over two years, is regarded as a **** by the civilians, is the most important reason.

...

F-1 area.

The source of the demonized infection, the hapless Allen and Bute Chamber of Commerce, is located in the headquarters of Tututat City. At this time, it has been razed to the ground by the army, and there is not even a brick left.

A group of rune magicians with "disaster detectors" walked around the clearing a few times and gave negative answers:

"Hey, Sir Seth, the'corruption index' displayed by the detector is below the standard value..."

"Your Excellency Seth, the displayed reading is lower than 100, which is a safe range..."

After receiving the results of his report, Seth smiled awkwardly at Renault:

"Lord Lord, it seems that the first instrument designed by the Rune Research Institute to detect the breath of demonized infection still has a relatively large flaw."

After a pause, he continued to say as if he was justifying:

"After the first sample was manufactured, we deliberately conducted an experiment with the body of the enchanted monster. The reading of the disaster detector soared to an astonishing 1,200, far exceeding the safety value of 100..."

Murphy, standing on the side, added:

"Yesterday afternoon, Mr. Reef, the person in charge of Cheka, sent an urgent message. One of his teams, when searching for prehistoric relics in the Baron Bugatti, detected a strong atmosphere of corruption. The index reached more than 800... …"

The two guys sang and made peace, trying their best to protect the face of the Rune Institute in front of Renault.

There are many research institutes in the territory, and the major "giants" are desperately fighting for resources, and no one wants to lose points in front of the lord.

Renault smiled slightly, did not pierce the two men's careful thoughts, but changed the topic calmly:

"From the current situation, there are two main modes of demonization of the Void Demon Race. The first is rapid demonization, or'high-energy demonization', because the energy fluctuations in the demonization process are very strong... The second is slow demonization, or'low-energy demonization,' which is so concealed that it is almost impossible to detect."

"The disaster detector successfully detected the'high-energy demonization', but for the detection of the'low-energy demonization', further research is needed...this'coordinate object' buried in the city of Tututat can cause ' Low-energy demonization', the research value is very high... Maybe after we get it, we can solve this problem..."

While the three were chatting, a large group of rune magicians were running around in the clearing, busy installing a batch of special equipment that had just arrived in the mainland.

"Hey, here are a few people to help the leader and erect the "Splitting Magic Ring"..."

An older senior magician shouted aloud.

Several young men with the badge of the junior magician quickly ran over, grabbed a large silver-white metal ring with a diameter of 3 meters, and carefully erected it.

"Oh, you guys, be careful, don't scratch the rune on its surface... Tristan, Furlong, you two connect the magic silver wire on the base... Rujillo, Ormond, you are responsible.' The docking of "Magic Guidance"..."

The high-level magician turned a group of young people around.

After a few breaths, this piece, named "Splitting Magic Ring", was successfully installed.

Judging from the material of the metal ring, it seems that the whole body is made of expensive magic silver.

Nowadays, the price of magic silver is as high as more than 20 kinnars/kg, and the total weight of the metal ring is at least 200 kg. The price of the material alone is astonishing more than 4,000 kinnars.

The most amazing thing is that every corner of the ring surface is engraved with densely packed runes. Even according to the roughest estimation, the total number will not be less than 30,000. This is an amazing number.

The denser the number of runes, the more difficult it is to make, and the higher the cost will naturally be.

According to the internal standards of the Rune Research Institute, to inscribe more than 20,000 runes on the same item, from design to processing, to testing and finalization, 6000 jinnars are absolutely the lowest expenditure.

In other words, the total cost of the metal ring is as high as 10,000 Kinnars, which is almost equivalent to the annual income of ten barons.

And there are as many as 20 metal rings like this on this open space.

The scene where the magicians installed the splitting magic ring attracted the attention of the three people of Renault.

"I hope that this time the test of the'Splitting Sky Magic Guide Ring' will not cause any problems..."

Seth looked at the fixed metal ring and said with a little lack of confidence.

"I heard that all the high-level magicians in the research and development system have worked through 4 consecutive nights. Only then did they discover that a certain step in the process of demonizing infection relies on a super-magic form called the'high-frequency beam energy magic ring'. …The Splitting Magic Ring is also a rune device designed to imitate it.” Renault laughed, “You are one of the leaders of the project. You should have confidence in your own research and development results...”
