This device can truly ’understand’ the changing laws of the abyssal environment and make real-time adaptability adjustments."
Calvin’s tentacles suddenly twisted violently, the tips of his bone spikes secreting black liquid:
"Living neural networks? Kid, do you know what you’re talking about? That’s a forbidden realm! How many researchers have gone mad or died because of this kind of experiment?"
"I am well aware of the risks," Ron calmly admitted:
"But the existence of risk is not a reason to avoid it, but a motive for caution.
I have used specially modified nerve fibers. These tissues are extremely sensitive to chaos energy while possessing sufficient stability."
Alicia’s flame color suddenly deepened:
"You mean you’ve successfully tamed abyssal nerve tissue? The erosive nature of those things requires even us to be careful in dealing with them!"
"Through multiple safety mechanisms." Ron brought up more detailed technical diagrams:
"First is the spiritual shackle—implanting miniature rune chips into the nerve fibers, continuously emitting specific frequencies of spiritual interference waves to prevent complex neuronal connections from forming."
His fingers outlined intricate structural diagrams in the projection:
"Secondly, there is the periodic reset mechanism, clearing all memory traces every seventy-two hours.
Finally, there’s the consciousness blocker—immediately severing the relevant neural pathways once autonomous consciousness sprouting is detected."
Vinard’s metal fingers began fast calculations in the air, silver light traces weaving into a complex formula network:
"What is the frequency of the spiritual shackles? How is the energy consumption of the rune chips balanced? How is the core functionality ensured to be unaffected during the reset process?"
Three consecutive technical questions, each directly addressing the core difficulties.
Ron also felt somewhat excited, as the Great Wizard finally began to take his research seriously.
"The frequency is 47.3 kilomarams, which is the optimal parameter I determined through extensive experiments."
He quickly responded:
"The rune chips adopt an ’energy devourer circuit’ design, drawing energy from neural activity itself to achieve self-maintenance. The reset process uses ’hierarchical cleaning’ technology..."
In the following half hour, Vinard continuously threw out dozens of technical questions, each one trickier than the last.
But Ron’s answers were always deftly handled.
August’s pupils glowed brightly:
"You said your experimental data has an 87% improvement rate? This number... if true..."
"We conducted rigorous comparative tests."
Ron brought up detailed experimental records:
"The exploration team carried out random grouping and control experiments.
The survival rate of the second layer of the abyss for the traditional group was 73%, third layer 41%, fourth layer 12%.
The data corresponding to the new device group: 89%, 68%, 34%."
Data tables unfolded in the air, densely packed charts and statistical analyses clearly showcasing the test results.
Each number underwent strict verification, each comparison had detailed records.
Alicia’s flame suddenly stopped for a few seconds and then erupted with even more intense brilliance:
"This improvement range... if the data is true, it will completely alter the entire exploration industry!
But I must ask—is there spiritual contamination affecting the users of your device?
Don’t try to fool me, kid, I can smell any abnormal flavor in the flesh."
This question pinpoints the greatest risk of the technology.
Any device involving abyssal energy may cause irreversible spiritual damage to users.
"There are indeed slight spiritual waves," Ron did not conceal:
"But they are within safe limits. The average contamination index rise is 0.9 units, well below the safety threshold of 2.0. Moreover, this slight fluctuation actually helps users adapt to the abyssal environment."
He brought up detailed medical test reports:
"We conducted follow-up surveys on all testers.
Not only were no negative consequences found, but in subsequent actual explorations, these testers demonstrated stronger abyss adaptability and sharper danger perception ability."
Vinard’s attitude had already changed significantly.
He no longer showed initial impatience, but focused wholeheartedly on analyzing every technical detail.
"Chaos energy regulation system..." his voice began to carry a clear tone of reflection:
"This is the most core and difficult part of the entire design. Tell me about your breakthrough."
"Traditional views believe chaos energy is uncontrollable, only to be passively endured."
Ron’s tone grew more confident:
"But I discovered that although chaos is unpredictable, it is not entirely random.
It follows some deep-seated laws, only these laws are beyond our conventional understanding."
In the next two hours, the review committee conducted extremely detailed inquiries into Ron’s research.
From technical details to theoretical foundations, from experimental methods to safety measures, almost every possible question was asked.
But what impressed everyone was Ron’s keen awareness of technological risks.
He never exaggerated research results or avoided potential problems, but faced each query with the honest attitude a true researcher should have.
As the atmosphere gradually headed towards a harmonious development, Minne suddenly spoke, his voice carrying some probing meaning:
"Speaking of abyss adaptability and chaos understanding... Lecturer Ron, I remember in the last review meeting, you mentioned some intriguing ideas about ’virtual worlds’?"
The air in the meeting room instantly became tense.
"Especially regarding those deeper theoretical explorations in Lance’s master’s notes?"
Minne stared at him intently, as if trying to read his deepest thoughts:
"Those ideas on consciousness archiving and memory sharing, combined with your current chaos adaptation technology, seem to create some... revolutionary possibilities?"
