Chapter 2739: Research on the Power of Order

After handling the trivial matters, Xia Duo said a word to Niya and then returned to the Laboratory.

The research on the Order Force had reached a critical moment; there was already plenty of data collected regarding the various states of the Jade Tablet, enough to proceed to the next stage of research—in fact, this was the true beginning of the research work.

Inside the Laboratory.

Xia Duo let the Jade Tablet hover in front of him; at this stage, there was actually little need to use the Jade Tablet, but keeping such a "pendant" by his side had a bit of the implication of seeking good luck.

And in the process of organizing the data, he also sorted out his subsequent line of thought: starting from the spell inherent to the Jade Tablet, 【Protective Spiritual Light】, he would investigate the interactive relationship between the Jade Tablet and the Magic Net when the spell was activated.

Thereby peeking into the essence of this Order Force spell.

With the assistance of the brain, Xia Duo quickly clarified the state of the Magic Net corresponding to the Jade Tablet activating 【Protective Spiritual Light】 and when 【Protective Spiritual Light】 was under attack.

If this were a normal spell, then through the state of the Magic Net under these two different scenarios, one could completely reverse-engineer the original appearance of the spell, but this was not a normal spell; it was an Order Force spell.

What could be reverse-engineered normally would only be a normal spell, and there was no way to obtain the operational mechanism of the Order Force.

But now, what Xia Duo could be certain of was that both the activation of 【Protective Spiritual Light】 and when it was under attack involved the participation of the Order Force; by simulating the external Magic Net under these two scenarios, if nothing went wrong, it should be possible to produce a certain degree of interference with the Order Force.

"Sure enough!"

First clarify the interaction mechanism between the Order Force based on the Jade Tablet's 【Protective Spiritual Light】 and the Magic Net, before looking for more interaction mechanisms.

And it did not require a state in flux; even if it were just some kind of static existing state, it would still work, just like the two interference states caused to the Magic Net by 【Protective Spiritual Light】 used by Xia Shao.

Actually, at the very beginning, he had considered making it into one Magic Artifact and switching back and forth between those two states, but due to a certain conjecture, he still made it into two Magic Artifacts, and both states existed simultaneously.

……

Xia Shao first produced two semi-finished Magic Artifacts to simulate the state of the Magic Net when 【Protective Spiritual Light】 was activated and when it was under attack.

Because for those who are not the Lord of Order, the Order Force is no different from non-existence; how could a person possibly control something that is non-existent to them?

Xia Shao had thought that the research on the Order Force would be difficult, but he hadn't thought it would be this difficult; even though he had already found a breakthrough point, it was still fraught with difficulties.

Now, even though he had assembled a team, most of them only did some minor work; whenever it involved the control of the Order Force, he still had to do it himself.

On the experimental bench in the experimental area, a notebook flipped its Inner Page automatically without wind, with large patches of text appearing; just like that, Xia Shao recorded while operating the experiment.

The feeling the Order Force gave him was like a water current, and also like a gas, and at the current stage, it was impossible to quantify; the descriptions of its changes were also more based on perception rather than some kind of confirmed fact.

Of course, the existence of the Order Force does not depend on the Magic Net; Xia Shao had collected the state of the Jade Tablet under a no-Magic-Net state, and 【Protective Spiritual Light】 could still be activated as usual, only the Protection strength was somewhat reduced, and it would not fail completely.

He drove the Order Force flowing through the Jade Tablet, first passing through the semi-finished Magic Artifact simulating the Magic Net state when 【Protective Spiritual Light】 was activated, and then passing through the other Magic Net state simulation Magic Artifact.

As long as he could find the interaction mechanism between them, then many Applications based on the Magic Net could immediately be converted to the Order Force system.

It was just that his understanding of the Order Force was truly limited, and there was simply no way to come up with a so-called universal Order Force, and this, in fact, greatly restricted his research on the Order Force.

As for the mechanism by which the Order Force directly interferes with reality, that was not easy to discover; Xia Shao just treated it as a long-term goal; whether it could be achieved in the short term was not important, he firmly believed that it would definitely be achievable in the future.

Just as Xia Shao guessed, if it could trigger some kind of Magic Net change, then such a Magic Net change would inevitably have an impact on the Order Force, similar to the mutual interaction of forces.

Even if it were just recording the phenomenon, it was very difficult to get started; it was just like a person who had never come into contact with fluid mechanics trying to describe the state of a water current—how would one describe it, how would one record it?

Yet, this part was the core of the entire research project!

As long as he could interfere with the Order Force through the Magic Net, then conversely, the Order Force could also interfere with the Magic Net, or in other words, interfere with reality, through a way relative to it.

But he also knew that in the distant Eastern World, in all likelihood, there did not exist a universal Order Force that could be controlled by someone who was not the Lord of Order, and that was the "Merit" mentioned in the Refining method passed to him by the Dark Treasure Mirror.

At this moment, Xia Shao once again sighed at the super convenience of the existence of the Magic Net for the development of Magic; if there were no Magic Net, one would have to start from the definition of elements and grope bit by bit.

Because right now, there was only himself as a living "Order Force detector," and Perception was more of a subjective cognition, which might have a large discrepancy with reality.

Which is to say, the Order Force actually already had a set of mechanisms that could directly interfere with reality.

Having determined the line of thought and formulated the plan, the next step was the experiment.

If there were a universal Order Force, then he could assemble a team and let more people join in to participate directly in the research, instead of how it was now, where he could only do it all by himself.

For example, take red-green color blindness; if one did not use additional instruments for verification, the color-blind person's own descriptions and records would lack credibility.

"Magic Net induction experiment, first record—"

However, one can eat a meal bite by bite, and walk a path step by step; for this brand-new power that was completely unfamiliar before, Xia Shao was not in a hurry to penetrate all its mysteries at once.

And definition involved the cognition of the essence of the Order Force, which was very troublesome.

Unlike now, where one can look directly at the essence.

The circulation of the Order Force was the same as usual, only the path had been slightly adjusted; for the Lord of Order, such an operation was not difficult to achieve, but if it were changed to someone who was not the Lord of Order, then it would be almost impossible to achieve.

Xia Shao recorded the changes of the Order Force as it passed through these two states; looking at the entire experimental process, he felt that this step was the most difficult, because to record, one must first define.

Even the most basic recording of the Order Force state would exhaust a large number of his brain cells to create a brand-new and relatively objective definition system.

Next, it was the most difficult part for ordinary researchers: needing to control the Order Force to come into contact with these two semi-finished Magic Artifacts; those who are not the Lord of Order simply cannot control the Order Force, at least as far as Xia Shao's current cognition goes.

What Xia Shao was doing now was actually looking for the interaction mechanism between the Order Force and the Magic Net; he could control the Order Force, and he could control the Magic Net, but the two could not interact.
