Lord: Starting with Summoning the Regular Army of Earth

Chapter 134 Research Results of the Blue Star Magic Array (Part Two)

Blue Star, Zero Point Base, Core Reporting Hall.

This place was originally a lecture hall in the school, but it has now been transformed into a command center that also serves as a meeting and briefing center.

The walls were covered with thick anti-eavesdropping material, and the blackboard was replaced by a multi-layered encrypted electronic screen.

On one side of the long conference table, Qin Weiguo sat upright, his posture as straight as a pine tree.

Several newly delivered research reports were spread out in front of him, but at this moment, his attention was completely focused on the three slightly excited people across the table—Academician Feng Zhenhua, Director Zhao Ming, and Ye Wanqing, who was assisting in operating the demonstration equipment.

The atmosphere was serious and solemn, filled with a sense of tension as if a major secret was about to be revealed.

"Commander Qin," Academician Feng Zhenhua cleared his throat, trying to maintain the composure of a scholar, but his eyes behind his glasses gleamed with an irrepressible light, "Through continuous monitoring and analysis of all consciousness-transmitting personnel and the magic circle, we have made two extremely important preliminary discoveries, which may even overturn our understanding. This relates to the nature of the magic circle and its potential impact on our world that transcends spatial connections themselves."

Qin Weiguo nodded, his brow furrowing into a deep frown, but his eyes were filled with anticipation and delight: "Please speak, Professor Feng. I need the most conclusive data and the most rational deductions."

Feng Zhenhua glanced at Ye Wanqing, who immediately understood and activated the projector.

In an instant, complex charts, comparative images, and data streams were clearly presented to everyone.

"The first discovery concerns living organisms," Zhao Ming began, his voice a few decibels faster than usual. "We conducted extremely detailed longitudinal physiological monitoring on all personnel who participated in consciousness projection, including the advance team, various batches of experts, and soldiers. After eliminating conventional variables such as individual differences, underlying diseases, and rest breaks between missions, the data showed a clear statistical trend: those who participated in long-term, multiple projections exhibited a systematic and positive optimization of multiple physiological indicators."

Ye Wanqing zoomed in on several charts. "Look, these are Professor Zhang Hongjian's gastric imaging and changes in blood inflammatory markers from the scientific application team. After multiple missions, his long-standing gastric ulcers and atrophic gastritis have shown significant reversal, with clear signs of mucosal regeneration and related indicators decreasing by more than 70%. He has now fully recovered, and many of his underlying conditions have also largely improved, which far exceeds the effects that conventional medications or rest can achieve."

She switched the screen again: "This is the basic physical fitness data tracking of the first batch of 'Sharp Blade' team members. After the mission, their muscle strength, endurance recovery speed, and neural reaction speed all showed an average improvement of 5% to 8%, with some individuals showing improvements of nearly 20% in specific areas such as grip strength and explosive power. The control group—those with the same training intensity but who did not participate in shooting—saw an average improvement of less than 2%. The difference is significant."

"In addition," Zhao Ming added, pulling up a more general data chart, "we also observed a general improvement in sub-health status: mild metabolic indicators returned to normal, sleep quality improved, minor wounds healed faster, and even in some older volunteers, signs of melanin deposition at the roots of early gray hair were observed."

"All of this cannot be perfectly explained by adequate rest or adaptive training. We tend to believe that when consciousness travels through the magic circle, the body is exposed to the unknown energy field emanating from the magic circle, and is subjected to some kind of deep, benign immersion or information intervention, which promotes the self-adjustment of the life system towards a healthier and more orderly state."

Qin Weiguo leaned forward slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over each data point, his eyes gleaming.

"Is it definitely the effect of the energy field, rather than an indirect influence from consciousness operating in another dimension? Or is it simply a psychological factor?"

"We've considered these possibilities," Feng Zhenhua answered affirmatively. "The physiological effects of psychological suggestion or a sense of accomplishment are usually limited and unstable, unable to explain such a broad, consistent, and lasting organic improvement. Furthermore, the effects of otherworldly activities on the body should theoretically be limited to mental fatigue or possible combat stress, rather than a comprehensive enhancement of physiological function. Most importantly—"

He paused, then raised his voice slightly: "We have observed similar phenomena in non-living organisms, which points to a common external cause."

"Non-living entity?" Qin Weiguo raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

"Yes. Please look at this." Feng Zhenhua gestured for Ye Wanqing to show the next item.

Ye Wanqing carefully took out a sealed transparent sample box from the storage box. Inside was a section of ordinary iron bed leg and several high-definition comparison photos.

"This is a sample taken from the monitoring bed connected to the room. Our researchers accidentally discovered that an original dent on the bed leg had healed on its own without any treatment, becoming smooth and flat." Feng Zhenhua pointed to the clear dent and the smooth surface after repair in the comparison photos.

"We then conducted non-destructive testing and sampling analysis on all the metal objects that had been placed around the connection room for a long time." Ye Wanqing then operated the projector to display complex scan images and spectral and diffraction data.

"The results are startling. Three common types of changes were observed in the affected metals."

"I. Self-healing of surface micro-defects;

Second, the internal crystal structure tends to be highly ordered, and the defect density decreases;

Third, some alloys containing specific elements, such as cobalt and nickel, have exhibited anomalous electromagnetic response characteristics. Under certain conditions, their electrical resistance even shows an abnormally sharp nonlinear drop. Although this is still far from superconductivity, this behavior itself exceeds the conventional explanation of classical solid-state physics.

Feng Zhenhua's voice rose slightly with excitement: "Commander Qin, do you know what this means? It means that the energy emanating from that magic circle not only has an 'optimizing' effect on complex life forms, but also has an effect on relatively simple non-living matter—especially metals—that we call a 'sequencing effect'!"

"It seems to be driving matter, whether flesh or steel, towards a more complete, stable, and internally more ordered low-energy state!"

Qin Weiguo remained silent for a full ten seconds, processing the information.

His gaze shifted between Feng Zhenhua's excited face, Zhao Ming's solemn expression, Ye Wanqing's "magical" bed legs, and the data on the screen that defied common sense.

"The ordering effect—" he repeated slowly, "Can you explain its principle? Even if it's just a conjecture."

"This is just a preliminary speculation," Feng Zhenhua quickly organized his thoughts. "We believe that the primordial power driving the magic circle may transcend our understanding of energy, and is closer to a field carrying low-entropy or ideal-form information. When matter is exposed to it, especially when consciousness passes through and triggers a kind of resonance or focusing within the field, this information may be written into or induce adjustments to the structure of the matter itself."

"For living organisms, this manifests as stimulating self-healing and optimizing functions; for metals, it manifests as repairing defects, optimizing the crystal lattice, and even inducing unconventional properties. This may be a universal, fundamental form of interaction in the universe that we have never observed before!"

"What about the scope, intensity, and controllability of the impact?" Qin Weiguo asked the most crucial question.

"The observed effect decreases rapidly with increasing distance from the center of the magic circle, and becomes extremely weak beyond ten meters."

The intensity of the effect is related to the exposure time and the initial degree of order of the substance itself. As for controllability—" Feng Zhenhua shook his head, "Currently, it's entirely passive and spontaneous. We cannot intervene in this process, nor can we actively enhance it. But, the door has already been opened!"

Zhao Ming picked up the conversation, his tone full of anticipation: "Commander Qin, if, and I mean if, we can analyze the mechanism of this 'sequencing effect' in the future, even if we only find a way to slightly influence it, its significance will be revolutionary!"

In medicine, this could mean entirely new approaches to interventions for aging, tissue damage, and even certain genetic diseases!

In materials science, this could mean the potential to cultivate theoretically perfect new materials with extraordinary properties! Room-temperature superconductors, zero-defect single crystals, alloys with unique electromagnetic responses—these could all move from science fiction into reality!

Ye Wanqing couldn't help but add, her eyes shining: "Even more so, if we can find a safe and controllable method to use this effect to target and gently enhance the human body, it might open a new chapter in the development of human potential."

Of course, this requires extremely lengthy and careful research.

Qin Weiguo leaned back in his chair and took a deep breath.

He had weathered countless storms, but what he was hearing now still gave him a profound and unsettling feeling.

This is not just a simple connection between two worlds; the connection point itself is a treasure trove containing endless mysteries!

"I understand." His voice calmed, carrying the weight of a decision-maker. "Professor Feng, Director Lin, Researcher Ye, your work is outstanding. The value of this discovery may be no less than the interdimensional portal itself. Immediately submit the complete, encrypted report to the highest level. Simultaneously, I approve your initiation of the 'Sequence Effect' special research project, with your access privileges upgraded to the highest level. Submit a report if you need any resources, and I will personally coordinate."

His gaze swept over the three people: "But remember two red lines: First, the safety of personnel must be absolutely guaranteed. Any experiment involving human beings must undergo the most stringent ethical review and safety assessment. Voluntariness, informed consent, and controllability are prerequisites."

Second, the research findings must be kept strictly confidential, and no disclosure is permitted until their stability and safety are definitively established. This discovery presents both an opportunity and the potential for unforeseen risks and—opportunities.

"Yes! Understood!" the three replied solemnly.

"Continue to conduct in-depth research, attempt to establish a more accurate monitoring model, and find a quantitative relationship between the intensity of the energy field and the degree of ordering."

At the same time, small-scale, exploratory material exposure experiments can begin to systematically test different materials at different distances.

"Note the changes over different durations, and record any anomalies." Qin Weiguo stood up, his gaze intense. "Our understanding of magic circles is still too limited. Every new discovery could redefine our future. Thank you for your hard work."

Feng Zhenhua and his two companions left the briefing hall with a sense of exhilaration and an even greater sense of mission.

Qin Weiguo stood alone by the window, his gaze seemingly piercing through the walls as he stared at the magic circle connecting the room.

Life optimization — the ordering of matter — a cosmic law that tends towards "perfection" and "low entropy"?

His heart was filled with turmoil.

This magic circle brings not only a path to another world, but also a key—a key that may unlock a whole new door to the evolution of life and the science of matter.

The road ahead seemed far broader and more incredible than he had initially imagined.

How to safeguard, study, and ultimately harness this gift from the unknown will be the ultimate test of a nation's and people's wisdom and resolve.

Soon, a detailed report on the "sequential effect" was delivered to several key decision-makers in the capital through the highest-level encrypted channels. The data, inferences, and possibilities implied in the report sparked unprecedented attention and heated discussions at the highest levels.

Three days later, a top-secret order was transmitted back to Qin Weiguo at Zero Point Base via a top-secret communication line.

The core message of the instruction was concise yet weighty, brimming with boundless expectations and resolve.

Qin Weiguo's gaze lingered on the instruction document for a long time before turning to Li Wei, a middle-aged man who had just secretly flown in from the capital and was standing in front of him.

He is a senior commissioner of the National Security and Strategic Development Council and also a close relative of a certain "scientific research luminary".

"Commander Qin," Li Wei said with a grave expression and a firm voice, "you know the situation. My grandfather—his time is truly running out. The expert team's final assessment is, optimistically, no more than two weeks. The leaders' intention is clear: we cannot give up any hope. The 'ordering effect' exhibited by the magic array is, theoretically, the only way to surpass the current limits of medicine. This is both an attempt to save a life and a crucial verification experiment."

Li Wei's grandfather's name was Li Guodong.

This name stands as an immortal monument in the history of national science and technology, especially in the fields of materials science and aerospace engineering.

He has presided over or participated in dozens of top-secret major projects, and is the founder of many key materials and processes. He has countless students, and many leading figures in core fields today were once his students.

His mind is a living, walking national-level treasure trove of science and technology.

His departure will be an immeasurable loss.

Qin Weiguo said in a deep voice, "I understand. I have reviewed the latest report on Elder Li's health condition and the medical team's contingency plan. The base will fully cooperate, providing the safest guarantees and the most stringent monitoring. But Commissioner Li, I must reiterate the risks—our understanding of the 'sequential effect' is still at the observation and speculation stage, and its mechanism of action, intensity, and..."

The specific effects on endangered and complex life forms, especially the possible unknown side effects or adverse reactions, are all unknown.

This was an unprecedented attempt.

"Grandpa signed it himself." Li Wei's voice was a little hoarse as he handed over a document. "He knew all the risks. He said that if this crippled body could conduct one last experiment for science and for the country, verifying a new path that might benefit future generations, it would be a great honor. His only request was that, regardless of the outcome, all data must be recorded completely as valuable information for subsequent research."

Qin Weiguo was filled with respect. He accepted the informed consent form, whose handwriting was trembling but still powerful, and nodded solemnly.

"Please rest assured. We are fully prepared. Professor Li is not only a respectable scientist, but also a courageous explorer. The entire Zero Point Base pays tribute to Professor Li."
