Chapter 633: Chapter 631: The Missing thod of Use
“Yes, yes, it must be like this,” Richard quickly spoke out, as if suddenly finding a missed key point, eyes filled with excitent.
The next mont, he turned and left the Magic Test Field. He hurried to the main laboratory in brisk steps, picked up one after another design drawing of the “Destructive Gloves,” and quickly scanned through them.
“Swish, swish!”
As Richard flipped through them, he said,
“The first version’s design, that’s the one from the initial failure.”
“The second version’s design, that’s from the ‘Death Finger’ improvent.”
“The third version’s design, that’s the recent revision.”
“The fourth version’s design, we arrived at that with minor adjustnts based on the third version.”
“The fifth version’s design…”
“The sixth…”
…
After looking over all the design drawings, Richard quickly left the main laboratory and rushed into the research room of the chanical Processing Sector.
On the workbenches of the research room lay many half-finished “Destructive Gloves,” most of which had problems during production and were simply piled up as scrap.
Aside from that, there were two complete “Destructive Gloves” crafted from more special tals. Their surface had a lead-gray hue, lacking the common tallic luster, appearing old and rustic as if they were ancient artifacts handed down from antiquity, containing terrifying power.
These were made by Richard according to the thirty-fifth and thirty-sixth version of the design drawings. The Magic Chip and the Magic Rune connections had been adjusted; they were made with even more care than the other “Destructive Gloves” and were the cream of the crop.
Originally, Richard had planned to use these two Destructive Gloves for the final test, but the nurous failures of previous “Destructive Gloves” made him abandon this idea.
But now…
“Swish, swish, swish…”
Richard picked up the many discarded “Destructive Gloves,” squinting at the Magic Runes on them, and then also picked up “No.35” and “No.36” to examine.
After a long look, Richard put the “Destructive Gloves” down, stepped back, and sat down in the chair of the research room, exhaling deeply and slowly speaking.
“There’s no mistake, no mistake at all. Yes, there’s no mistake.”
“The first and second versions’ products did have problems, but the later improvents were all completely in line with the original design, even if they were improvents, they were improvents for the better.”
“So, the reason why the tests kept failing is actually a non-issue.”
“Right, there is no issue, truly no issue. The design is correct, and the reason why the tests fail every ti is not because of the product, but because the thod of use is wrong.”
“The thod of use is wrong!”
Richard leaned back in his chair and took another long breath.
Yes, everything failed because of the wrong thod of use.
The “Destructive Gloves” are an extrely complex tool of Magic Runes, with a staggering number of inscribed runes, resolved only by light engraving chips for their enormous volu and complex structure, ultimately succeeding in production.
But successful production did not guarantee perfect function.
In fact, the more complex and high-end sothing is, the more extensive training and learning it requires to master it.
For example, a bicycle on modern Earth, a very simple chanical object, can be ridden by anyone who can maintain balance.
But when upgrading to a car, a relatively more complex chanical object, specific tests must be passed before one is allowed on the road.
Even more complex chanical objects, such as submarines and large vessels, demand higher standards. Especially a fighter pilot needs years of continuous training to be considered qualified. In tis of war, fighters can be produced in large quantities, but fighter pilots can only be trained patiently, step by step; the loss of one cannot be recovered, which is why there is a saying that fighter pilots are more costly than the fighters themselves.
The sa goes for the “Destructive Gloves.”
As the “National Treasure” created to bring destruction to the Black Spirit Empire, they are the combined effort of an entire nation, designed to combat powerful enemies.
Such things, before being mass-produced or weakened for general use, are bound to be extrely complex. In its most original version, it doesn’t consider ease of use but only strives to achieve the desired effect.
Thus, using so of the most basic functions of the “Destructive Gloves,” such as a single finger attack, is doable. It’s like soone who’s never learned to drive a car still being able to turn the steering wheel.
But taking it a step further and using more complex functions, like multiple fingers combined attacks or the full power released by using all fingers in coordination, is much more challenging. This is as difficult as asking a beginner to try flying the latest fighter jet and safely land it.
Difficult!
Yes, it’s difficult, but not impossible.
In so ways, the “Destructive Gloves” are like a complicated machine without a manual and with no specific uses known. In theory, given enough ti and enough trials, everything could be figured out, perhaps even reverse-engineering the core principle to not just mimic but freely modify as well.
From this perspective, the previous statent wasn’t wrong: the thod of exhaustion could work.
But the question is, how much ti would it take to solve things using the thod of exhaustion?
A few days? A few months? A few years? Or perhaps decades?
Keep in mind that controlling Magic Tools with Free Energy Elents is more complex than flying an airplane. An airplane’s instrunts and control sticks are fixed, but the combinations of Free Energy Elents are nearly limitless.
It’s precisely because of these limitless combinations that there are various spells. To try out the real usage of “Destructive Gloves” one by one, it really might take decades, without any guarantee of success.
“So, we still need to obtain the ultimate treasure of the Black Spirit King, to unravel the Black Spirit King’s ultimate secret. Otherwise, even if we have such a powerful Magic Tool as the ‘Destructive Gloves’ right in front of us, we would not be able to use them perfectly. Knowledge is indeed the most precious thing,” Richard mused, leaning back in his chair, his eyes flickering, “Knowledge, the Black Spirit King’s ultimate treasure…”
…
And so the series of works on researching, improving, and manufacturing the “Destructive Gloves” ca to a temporary halt. Richard left Eden and went back to his surface dwelling to see if he could try to crack the Black Spirit King’s ultimate secret.
To unlock the ultimate secret, one must first ascertain where the Black Spirit King left his final treasure.
To ascertain where the final treasure lies, one must determine the location hinted at in the last treasure clue — the whereabouts of Yatis.
And to determine the whereabouts of Yatis, one must return to the vicinity of Deep Blue Castle, to dig.
To return to the vicinity of Deep Blue Castle, one must…
In his dwelling, Richard pondered this chain of problems and had not thought for long when he heard soone knocking. Opening the door, he discovered Teddy had co to visit.
Actually, to say ‘visit’ is not quite accurate because Teddy made it clear, “Master Eva sent to tell you sothing.”
