Chapter 30: Evidence of new meditation

　　 James is still staying in his laboratory, the research has entered a bottleneck stage, and there is no hope of a breakthrough.
　　 The college didn't get stuck with his funding, and his problem wasn't the funding either. He lacked assistants and research subjects.
　　 Just as Eliot said, the old apprentices who had the same problems with him died unfortunately. Those who survived were not optimistic about him, and the new apprentices failed to meet his requirements, except for Adam.
　　 "But that level of genius, I shouldn't be interested in my research, right?" James thought with a sigh.
　　He walked in his black laboratory, stopping under the optical projection from time to time, hesitating endlessly watching the runes that were not completed or were not tested after completion.
　　 "I am over seventy years old."
The life span is the sword of Damocles that rests on his head. His talent can be said to be low, and the total amount of mental power is scarce. Over the past few decades, he has been experimenting with new runes and his mental power has not even been followed. To construct a system of meditation, from this level, he is wasting time.
"Eh."
　　 James sat slumped against the wall and sighed heavily. Unexpectedly, the entrance to the laboratory suddenly lit up at this time: "Apprentice Adam asked to enter."
　　 James’ eyes suddenly lit up with an amazing light, he jumped from the ground, rushed to the outside and opened the door of the laboratory.
Adam came to the door of James’ laboratory according to his memory and brushed his identity certificate. He was not sure if James was in the laboratory, but he had no better way to find him and find him here. Try your luck.
boom.
　　 The door of the laboratory was roughly opened. James stared at Adam with wide-eyed eyes and asked eagerly: "Are you agreeing to be my assistant? You agree, don't you?"
　　 Adam took a step back and said, "If the reward is satisfactory to me, yes."
James grabbed Adam, dragged him into the laboratory, and said, "Wait for me!" After saying that, he rushed into it, and soon took out a paper contract and handed it to Adam. .
　　 Adam looked down. The contract states the responsibilities of both parties, matters needing attention, and confidentiality treaties. These points are very strict and there are no loopholes, except for the compensation item.
　　 James exclaimed: "The laboratory has a monthly budget of 2,000 energy stones. I need 800 energy stones to maintain daily consumption. The rest is yours!"
　　 In other words, Adam can get a monthly payment of 1,200 Energy Stones at most. This is undoubtedly a huge sum of money, much more generous than the rewards given to new apprentices in the mission hall for less than one unit per day.
However, James immediately changed his tone and said embarrassingly: "It's just that we need to make a little achievement in the longest three months, otherwise we will be cut off. The approval department has lost patience with my experimental project. , Three months is the deadline they gave me."
　　 Adam nodded. Three months meant that he could get paid at least three times. He asked James: "Mr. James, what does a little result mean?"
James replied: "A complete and valuable set of meditation ideas that can be implemented among apprentices." James immediately added: "In fact, there are complete results in the laboratory, but no one can verify it. After all, It is not easy for me to build a set of runes."
　　 Adam is very confident in this. This kind of project that requires massive calculations to prove is what he is good at. Building a rune group only takes a few more threads.
　　 Adam said to James: "If the research is successful, I can no longer sign the results, but I need to have the right to use it freely."
　　James nodded hurriedly: "Of course, it's not a problem at all."
After Adam got his consent, he wrote this article into the contract, and then wrote the monthly amount of one thousand units in the remuneration column, and then gave the contract to James, and James’s payment to Adam Without paying attention, he closed the contract with ecstasy on his face, and then couldn't wait to drag Adam into the black room.
　　 After some operations, he said to Adam: "From now on you have the right to enter the laboratory freely, but you cannot take the materials out of the laboratory."
　　......
After that, half a month passed quickly. During this half month, Adam almost completely disappeared from the eyes of everyone. He only traveled between the dormitory and the laboratory every day, even one meal a day. Eat in the laboratory.
James is undoubtedly a good person. Although Adam is only an assistant and a tester, he still takes care of Adam. In the past two months, he did not ask Adam to construct unverified unstable runes, but to guide him. Adam builds the basic meditation idea, according to his words: "This kind of basic meditation idea created by Prometheus True Spirit Archmage has stability far beyond all variants, and this stability is manifested at this stage as No matter how the apprentices experiment with the new method, it can provide protection for the soul, so that the apprentices will not die because of multiple mental breaks."
This helped Adam a lot. Compared to working behind closed doors, James, who has more experience in this area, made him avoid many detours. In less than half a month, the basic meditation ideas have been preliminary. When finished, Adam could feel the armor of his fragile soul coat, and the amount of ether that could be neutralized was more.
James was very satisfied. Adam’s talents surpassed his expectations once again. You must know that to complete the meditation idea, at least one thousand pieces of nails are needed. An ordinary apprentice, such as him, can only build with every effort. Only three to five pieces.
　　 James didn't know that this was not just a gap in total mental power, but also a gap in computing power. For an ordinary person, he can only build one rune at a time, but Adam has the talent of multi-tasking. Multiple threads perform tasks at the same time to build a single rune, and then only need to combine the threads.
Half a month later, James determined that Adam could bear the negative state of the rune broken in the mental power. He turned on an optical projector and said to Adam: "Now, you try to build this set of runes, by It replaces the Mage’s Armor. Be careful not to force it. If you feel a mental conflict or soul fluctuation, stop immediately."
Adam set his sights on this new set of runes, which is still composed of nine runes, but the structure of each one is more complicated than before, but this complexity does not show harmony, and Adam feels that he does not need to experiment. This set of runes must be a failure.
　　 But empirical evidence cannot rely on feeling. Only by experimenting to find the problem, Adam did not hesitate to start the construction.
　　James said nervously on the side: "Compared with the original Mage Armor, this set adds to the mental power characteristics. If it succeeds, the Mage Armor will become aggressive."
　　 "Step by step, remove the original nails little by little...Stop! Oh my God, what are you doing!"
　　 James was horrified to find that Adam’s initial condensed mental power collapsed in an instant, and the escaping energy seemed to blow a gust of wind in the laboratory, blowing all the papers flying!
James didn't have time to manage the messy laboratory. He was full of regret. Adam's calmness confuses him. He thought that Adam would take it easy, but now it is clear that Adam broke the armor of the wizard at once. This can cause great damage to the spirit.
　　 He ran to the door in a panic, and wanted to apply for treatment. Adam was his last hope, and nothing should happen!
　　 At this moment, Adam’s nonchalant voice sounded: "As far as a single rune is concerned, it has a higher complexity than the original version, but the rune connection is rough and there are redundant structures. After the combination, it cannot be self-consistent..."
　　 The running figure of James freezes, his body is not moving, his head is turned to Adam, and he stiffly says: "You, all right?"
Adam calmly said: "Don't worry, it's not difficult for me. Moreover, the efficiency of this kind of experiment is too low, I can probably do it at the same time..." Adam thought about how to allocate computing power and mental power to get The optimal solution ~EbookFREE.me~ then said: "Construct four different meditation ideas at the same time."
　　 "Four, four? Different? Unexpected meditation construction?"
　　 "Well, yes, this is mainly because you are not familiar with the new rune, otherwise it can be faster." Adam confirmed.
James looked at Adam in amazement: "This is multi-tasking?" James has reason to be amazed. Multi-tasking is a kind of talent, and it will not be automatically obtained because of the total amount of mental power or the improvement of the mage level. This situation can only make the mage think about one thing faster.
　　 "Yes," Adam said.
　　 This kind of monster is really enviable. It would be great if the person with this talent was me. James thought to himself.
　　 Adam has been constructing rune groups in the process of speaking. The problem derived from a single combination is not necessarily applicable to the whole. It is possible that this problem will be solved automatically when placed on the whole.
　　 James silently put the three optical projectors next to Adam again, and looked at Adam seriously, he felt unprecedented hope, "Maybe this time, it may be successful!"
　　......
The experiment is boring, and the demonstration is a blow to confidence and belief time after time. In a blink of an eye, another two months have passed. Adam and James are crazy, and the two have not returned to their residence during this period. James will have to teach once a week, and Adam has completely become an otaku.
　　 However, I still haven't been able to get even a kind of meditation that can be harmonious, self-consistent and universal.
　　 There are only ten days left before the three-month period. James looks countlessly old. From the time he first saw him, his appearance became gray.
