Chapter 348: This is What Humans Are!

The first magic radar was actually built on a piece of open space not far from the Magic Research Institute.

A circle of construction scaffolding was built around it, which was very inconspicuous.

To ensure the timeliness and stability of magic frequency modulation, "Athena" and the radar were connected through magic metal wires, not through other wireless means.

And Athena, as a supercomputer, had high demands on the operating environment and basically couldn't be moved. Magic metal wires had a signal transmission distance limit, so the radar could only be set up within a few kilometers.

And as a prototype of the first magic radar, it naturally had to undergo a lot of testing and debugging, and being close to the institute was also convenient.

As for the Lake District, it was a location chosen for future radar construction.

After Lukas completed the Horcrux transfer, she immediately took over the control authority of the radar and had over two hundred wizards acting as "batteries" take their places, inputting magic power into the energy component of the magic antenna.

These magic powers would be frequency-modulated through a super-large data machine controlled by Lukas, and then enter the radar for amplification. However, this time, the magic power that was finally successfully converted would not be used to transmit signals outward, but directly imported into a device like a small satellite receiver.

"Let's test it first, and by the way, get rid of that mental coordinate in my head," Murphy said.

"Okay." Lukas replaced the device with one aimed at Murphy's head, then leaned in close. "Sorry, Professor, I might need to get closer."

As she said this, she pressed her forehead against Murphy's, closing her eyes.

At the same time, the small transmitting device radiated a wave of magic power, its frequency getting higher and higher, gradually approaching a type of microwave.

A small point on Murphy's head slowly appeared in Lukas's perception.

"I found it."

She said, and the microwaves gradually gathered into a beam, aimed at that high-energy frequency point.

The next instant, its intensity suddenly increased by an order of magnitude. Murphy felt a blur before his eyes, as if something had been taken from his mind.

"The magic fluctuation of that coordinate has disappeared..." Lukas said, her face pulling back a little from Murphy's forehead. "How do you feel?"

"Not bad, seems much lighter," Murphy said, standing up.

He was a bit too close to the other party; their noses were almost touching just now.

Speaking of which, he didn't react just now. Thinking about it carefully, obviously, using a receiver was enough to detect coordinates. What was the point of pressing against the forehead?

But forget it, this matter felt like it couldn't be thought about in detail. "Test complete, let's go kill that guy."

The two came to the glass cover again.

Lukas replaced the transmitting device with a needle-type device and inserted it into the corridor where the Holy Mother was imprisoned.

The Holy Mother's magic level had decayed to half of its original state.

"Start," Murphy said.

A magic ray shot out from the needle-like tip of the transmitting device and hit the pendant.

In Murphy's magic vision, this magic ray was still orange-yellow, but with Lukas's frequency modulation, its color began to deepen, rapidly changing from orange-yellow to blue-green, then to purple-black, and finally becoming a ultraviolet hue of almost the same intensity as the pendant.

Its intensity became extremely high, but the magic flow was not large—the total amount of high-frequency magic produced by the frequency synthesis of two low-frequency magic powers was much smaller than the sum of the two low-frequency magic powers, which was consistent with the principle of spectral synthesis.

However, even so, the Holy Mother still felt threatened. "This is impossible; this world cannot produce such magic power!"

"Impossible?" Murphy smiled.

He liked seeing this expression of the enemy as if their worldview had collapsed.

"You used something similar to the 'Fidelius Charm' to block the magic level, right? But this spell is too 'advanced'; it requires more low-level, more primitive rules as support."

Murphy said.

"In the real world, physical rules are the most fundamental, most basic rules. Things I created directly using physical rules may be able to escape the constraints of advanced spells."

This is like when you want to block the interaction of certain addresses with a firewall, you must be based on some network protocols. Network protocols are a more fundamental rule architecture, while 'blocking address interaction' is an advanced instruction established on top of this rule.

If someone wants to prevent the IP in an address pool from accessing the network by banning the address pool, they only need to set an IP not in the address pool for the machine, and this strategy will automatically become invalid for that device.

The "Fidelius Charm" bans magic and makes restrictions. The objects of restriction are mainly wizards, and in the process of Murphy creating this ultra-high-frequency magic ray, no wizards exceeding the current boundary limits appeared.

Therefore, the existence of this super-strong magic ray actually does not conflict with the spell that blocks magic.

In fact, the Holy Mother is the best proof of this point. If it were true that higher-level magic power could not exist in this world, the Holy Mother's magic level should also be at most the same level as Murphy and Dumbledore.

Since it can possess a higher level of magic power, it shows that the blocking rule has loopholes to drill through.

This also conforms to the conjecture that magic is an advanced permission on top of basic physical rules.

That ray was still changing. Lukas had fine sweat on her forehead; she was making extremely delicate adjustments to make the ray's fluctuation frequency consistent with the Holy Mother's, and at the same time, the phase was opposite. In this way, just like Murphy's reverse interference with the goblin Brin's magic power, the other party's magic power was directly offset.

Soon, the frequency modulation was completed, and immediately, the Holy Mother's magic level began to fall off a cliff, and this was definitely not it running away.

"You don't understand what you are doing," the Holy Mother said. "Humans are as fragile as infants and should continue to stay in the swaddling clothes, and I am your protector. You are killing your protector, killing your mother."

"Mother?" Murphy was stunned.

Then he sneered. "Humanity's mother?"

"Just by you?!"

"Do you know what a human is?"

"Modern Homo sapiens were born one hundred thousand years ago, late Homo sapiens were born fifty thousand years ago, the Homo sapiens species was born two hundred and fifty thousand years ago, and the humans you speak of were born at least two million years ago."

"Two million years! Hundreds of billions of individuals, they fought with beasts, fought with cold, fought with hunger, fought with climate, fought with other human groups..."

"Countless people died, countless groups were eliminated in this two-million-year-long competition. Only our ancestors used stones to defeat beasts, used fire to defeat cold, used planting and gathering to defeat hunger, used wisdom and strategy to defeat other groups, used the migration and trekking of countless generations to defeat climate change..."

"In millions of years, they were on the verge of extinction several times. At the most difficult moment, only fewer than two thousand remained, struggling to survive in the time of over one hundred thousand years."

"But they survived, and even completely exterminated all 16 other human species under the genus Homo, making modern Homo sapiens the only referent of the word 'human'."

"The former opponents have all become fossils and ashes, only we stand alone."

"This is the history of humanity."

"This is what humans are!"

"Millions of years of elimination and evolution have achieved the greatest group in the history of this planet."

"Just by you, you dare to call yourself the mother of such a group?"

"Who the hell do you think you are?"

As if sensing Murphy's will, the magic interference ray suddenly became twice as strong. Under the violent magic impact, the pendant actually began to melt gradually.

Wisps of black smoke, as if produced by incomplete combustion, dissipated from the pendant, and shrill, terrifying screams came from within.

It finally seemed to feel pain.

"You, you, can't kill... me..." The voice from the pendant also became distorted. "I am everywhere, I am infinite..."

"Crack..." The glass on the pendant shattered.

With a whoosh, the small portrait inside burned up and instantly turned into ashes.

"The oath, must..."

The Holy Mother's voice disappeared.

Lukas went soft, and Murphy quickly supported her. "How are you?"

The girl shook her head and gasped for a few breaths. It took a while for her face to regain a little color. "Professor, I feel like it doesn't seem to be dead yet..."

Murphy had this feeling too.

However, "It doesn't matter. Once we find the magic energy source and build magic radars everywhere, we will turn the surface of the earth over. Anyway, with its magic information, it can't escape."
