Chapter 3100: New Plan, Traffic Anomaly

————It will be later~~

Therefore, Xia Duo not only needs to lower the power, but also needs to find a way to improve the detection precision, so that he can effectively detect the Psionic traces that may exist in the Gateway Magic Artifact.

However, with his understanding of Psionic, he is still a layman after all. For a moment, he could not think of any good improvement methods, so he prepared to take some scrapped Magic Artifact samples to try first. If he succeeded on the first try, there would be no need for emergency improvements.

……

With his consciousness returning to the avatar in Evereska, Xia Duo left Yunfeng Manor and went directly to the Alliance Headquarters, personally finding Charles to ask if any new scrapped Gateways had appeared in various countries.

"No news has been received yet," Charles replied.

"What about the returned data from the Special Gateway?" Xia Duo asked again.

Compared with ordinary Gateway Magic Artifacts, the Special Gateway has replaced its Traffic Statistics Component, which can count the passage of consciousness information at the Meta-thought Level. With the help of those Special Gateways, it is possible to discover whether there is abnormal traffic in the Computing Power Pool Sub-network.

But Charles's answer once again made Xia Duo feel disappointed, "The returned data is completely normal, and there is no dense and subtle flow of consciousness information that you mentioned before, sir."

"Alright, keep paying attention, and notify me as soon as there is news!"

After Xia Duo finished speaking, he let Charles go. Then he went to the Gateway Research Group, found an empty Laboratory there, registered to take out several sets of scrapped Gateways from the warehouse, and entered the Laboratory alone, adding a closed-door reminder.

……

Inside the Laboratory, Xia Duo certainly did not intend to repeat the inspection work that had been carried out repeatedly before, but instead put these scrapped Gateways into his Personal Space.

Afterwards, he settled his avatar, returned his consciousness to his main body again, came to the Laboratory in the Tower of Time, and took out a set of scrapped Gateways from his Personal Space.

Freshly produced scrapped Gateways had not yet appeared, but that did not prevent him from conducting a simple initial inspection of these "cooled" scrapped Gateways.

He placed the various components of this set of Gateway Magic Artifacts in different areas on the laboratory bench, and then, just like the experiment a short while ago, activated the Psionic Detection Crystal Ball.

The next moment, the hazy pale purple Mist once again strangely emerged from the Void, slowly spreading to the surroundings with the Detection Crystal Ball as the center.

These pale purple Mists first passed through the bracelet-shaped Psionic Artifact used for control, and then passed through the various components of the Gateway Magic Artifact one by one.

"Huh?"

Whether it was good luck or bad luck, Xia Duo noticed that the pale purple Mist excited by the Psionic Detection Crystal Ball seemed to be weakened a little after passing through the bracelet-shaped Psionic Artifact, and then it actually produced a trace of fluctuation when passing through the Gateway Magic Artifact components.

Although it was only a trace and disappeared quickly, for Xia Duo, memory is not an instantaneous thing, but a permanent mark that can be reviewed repeatedly. By tracing his memory, he confirmed that it was not an illusion.

It seemed that there was indeed something in the Gateway Magic Artifact components that caused a trace of disturbance to the purple Mist excited by the detector.

However, the Mist eventually occupied all the space where the various components of the Gateway Magic Artifact were located, without a single gap.

The thing Xia Duo was worried about happened; the detection power of the Psionic Detector he created with the help of Psionic Idealistic Power was still too high, and the act of detection itself was enough to erase some less obvious Psionic traces.

Just now, he only discovered a clue through keen observation and tracing his memory. If he himself had not realized or observed the anomaly, he might not have traced his memory at all.

Next, Xia Duo conducted repeated detections on this same set of Gateway Magic Artifacts, and the result was as expected: the trace of Psionic traces that might have existed had already quietly disappeared.

Up to now, he could only draw one conclusion, which is that this set of Gateways indeed might have been subjected to an attack involving Psionic.

"Then, is this an isolated case? Or a very common situation?"

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Duo took out another set of scrapped Gateways, placed them in the exact same position as the previous set, and then activated the Psionic Detection Crystal Ball.

As the pale purple Mist slowly seeped out from the Void, Xia Duo's attention became exceptionally focused. This time, before the Mist passed through the Gateway Magic Artifact, he discovered some anomalies, but it had nothing to do with the Gateway Magic Artifact; it was the Mist itself.

Although he could count the number of times he had used this Psionic Detection Crystal Ball on one hand so far, it seemed that it had just happened to reach a certain threshold; the Mist excited this time was clearly thinner than the one just now.

Logically speaking, a weaker detection Mist would be more susceptible to external forces and produce disturbances. As a result, when the Mist passed through the Gateway Magic Artifact components, it did not produce the slightest anomaly.

Does this mean this set of Gateway Magic Artifacts has no Psionic traces?

Then was the disturbance of the detection Mist by the previous set of Gateway Magic Artifacts really a Psionic trace? Or was it a disturbance caused by his own excessive concern about this matter?

Thought itself can produce disturbances to Psionic. If, when the detection Mist passed through the Gateway components, he carried the preconceived idea that "the Gateway has Psionic traces," perhaps it really did cause the detection Mist to produce a trace of disturbance.

In fact, the result was presented in the direction Xia Duo hoped for.

And the second detection did not produce any disturbance, which might just fit Xia Duo's conjecture that the Psionic traces were erased by the detection Mist, and then no disturbance really appeared.

Involving such idealistic things as Psionic, it seems that the existence of the experimenter himself might affect the experimental results!

Thinking this way, Xia Duo even had the thought that all previous experiments were meaningless. Perhaps this is the fundamental reason why Arcane Magic and Psionic Magic are difficult to reconcile.

The results of Arcane Magic do not change according to the experimenter's own thoughts, but only change according to the objective laws of reality, but Psionic Magic is different.

The result can actually change with the experimenter's own thoughts. What is the meaning of such a result that always conforms to the experimenter's psychological expectations?

Although Xia Duo is not yet completely sure whether the results of the several experiments just now changed in a way that did not match the facts because of his thoughts, it is an iron-clad fact that his own thoughts can affect Psionic.

He simply cannot rule out the possibility that the experimental results were influenced by his own thoughts!

This is the most critical point.

For a time, Xia Duo's thoughts were restless. He temporarily sealed the Laboratory and came to the Arcane Garden of the Tower of Time, but even the Positive Energy environment here could not calm his heart.

It is not only because the experiment did not go well, but also because of the future of Arcane Magic and Psionic Magic, and even the essence of the world.

At his level, as long as he still has the drive to progress, he must think about the future of Arcane Magic; as long as he does not want to live in a daze, he must also think about the essence of the world.

But now, the front of these two questions is shrouded by a thick barrier, and the name of that barrier is Psionic!
