Chapter 31: The Spectral Factor
Abrody III Medical Module.
It has now been converted into Dr. Sarah's dedicated Anomalies Institute.
When Renaud and Claire arrived, they saw a middle-aged man with a thin body and a thick black beard on his mouth.
He is Woodpecker, Ibby Faulkner, the chief scientist of the Abrody, but his main achievements are in energy and engineering technology and other related fields, and he is not particularly good at human science, so he did not expect to appear here.
Seeing Renault coming over, the woodpecker greeted him cordially: "Jonny, you're finally here, come and see this, you'll be interested." ”
Dragged by a woodpecker to an instrument, Renault saw a hologram of himself on it, which was somewhat embarrassingly naked. In addition, there are scattered red dots scattered in all directions on the hologram.
Renault somewhat understood: "It seems that during this time, my body has finally undergone some changes. ”
The last time Sarah examined him, she found nothing, which made Sarah disheartened, but this time, she clearly found something.
"That's right." Sarah walked over from not far away: "After you returned from the institute, we found that there were abnormal energy fluctuations in your body, and finally found this strange substance. ”
"What strange substance?"
"It's not known for sure, but it looks like a biocatalyst that reacts chemically with your body's cells to produce a molecular energy." Sarah pointed to Reynolds' hologram and said, "This molecular energy can form an invisible force field, which can act on most objects under the action of the force field. For now, this invisible force field is the ghost energy field confirmed by the Federal Research Institute. ”
Woodpecker: "Unfortunately, I can only prove its existence now, but I can't observe it." ”
"So you're saying that the source of our power comes from this little thing?" Renault asked, pointing to the small red dot on his hologram.
"As you said, abilities are science, but we never knew about them, but now, you've revealed a little bit of its mystery to us." Sarah replied.
"Me?"
"Yes, you, it's just you." Sarah affirmed, "So far, we've only found its presence in you." ”
"It shouldn't be!" Claire had already shouted, "Everyone here has ghostly powers!" ”
"That's the problem." The woodpecker said, "We haven't found a spectral factor in anyone else but you. Oh yes, that's what we call this substance, and since spectral energy exists because of it, it's best to call it a spectral factor. Actually, this is not my invention, the Federal Research Institute proposed this idea as early as 80 years ago, thinking that the ghost field was created by some invisible ghost energy factor, but they have never found any tangible evidence. ”
"What do you think caused me to have a spectral factor that others don't?" Renault asked.
"Quantity!" Sarah replied, "Look at this." ”
Sarah pressed the button next to her, and next to the hologram a graph appeared, painted with dense curves.
Woodpecker said: "This is a ghost energy field strength test chart, I used a quantum force field instrument to make a wave detection device, although I can't accurately grasp the ghost energy field, but I can already roughly feel its existence and intensity." You see, this is the strength of your spectral energy field. ”
The woodpecker pointed to the top curve, then to the bottom curve, "This is someone else's." ”
Renault paused, and finally understood: "You mean, my ghost energy is the strongest?" ”
Since everyone's abilities are different, it is difficult to evaluate who is more capable and who is weaker, after all, some things are completely incomparable. For example, Tycos can use himself to become copper-skinned, but this definitely does not mean that his level of ability is higher than that of Carmela, Nava and Martha.
However, the spectral field is the common foundation of all abilities, and its strength can directly indicate the strength of each person's ability.
The ghost energy field strength sensing device made by the woodpecker directly shows the level of each person's ghost energy, and Jonny Renault is the well-deserved top of the list.
In second place is Tycos, followed by Nora, Claire, Carmela, Wang Yile, Virus, Stark and others.
If you pay a little attention, you will find that almost all of these people have followed Renault on dangerous missions.
Renault somewhat understood, he narrowed his eyes: "You mean ......"
Sarah replied, "You once told Tycos that energy can grow, and the best way to grow is to push the limits. As you can see from this graph, your guess is correct. I've looked into the records of all the people in the front line, including you, Tycos, Claire, Nora, Carmela, and a few, almost all of them have overused energy. You, in particular, have been in a coma on several occasions due to overdrafts. Your last two overdrafts have been one for an entire transport ship and one for a widowmaker with hundreds of units. By the way, I heard that you did your best to fight the Red Witch, but you showed mercy? ”
Renault automatically ignored the last sentence and looked at the spectral energy field intensity map.
The energy curve that represents himself is like a bullish candle that rises all the way up, leaving everyone far behind.
After thinking for a while, Renault said, "In other words, only after the strength of the ghost energy field reaches a certain level, will these ghost energy factors be able to be seen?" ”
"To be exact, it only appears after a certain amount of spectral energy factors have been reached. The strength of the spectral energy field directly depends on the spectral energy factor. The woodpecker replied. As he spoke, he pointed to the living robot not far away: "Use your ability to pinch it." ”
With a casual move, Renault had already been twisted into an iron ball by him.
The woodpecker had pointed to Renault's hologram and said, "Look! ”
Renault saw that a small red dot had disappeared from his hologram.
"What I just did consumed a spectral factor?" Renault understood a little.
"It's going to grow back soon." Sarah said.
On the hologram, you can clearly see that where the red dot disappeared, a small red bright spot is reappearing, gradually increasing little by little.
Although they already knew that this would be the case, Sarah and the others were still excited when they saw this new red dot at that moment.
A guess has finally been confirmed, that ability can really be improved through exercise.
The reason why Renault can become the strongest person at the moment is not because of his strong talent, but because he has used it the most and fiercely during this time.
"A total of one hundred and twenty-four energy factors." Dr. Sarah said, "It's almost certain that it will only really manifest when the number of spectral factors reaches a hundred. It has not been discovered before, simply because of ...... We're all too weak. ”
"It's like magic, it's only when your mana reaches 100 that you actually activate the Blue Bottle system." The woodpecker smiled.
"Wow." Renault whistled involuntarily.
Claire sighed, "Looks like my level system is going to be revised again." Spectral Factor...... Hey, it's going to be an important estimating criterion for ratings. I've decided to re-edit the system standards for spectral energy? Possession of Spectral Energy is level zero, and only when one hundred Spectral Energy Factors are reached, the Factor Manifestation can be regarded as Level 1 in the true sense. ”
As she spoke, she stretched out her hand:
"Congratulations, Jonny Reynolds, you're now the first junior ghost warrior in human society."
