Chapter 1018
You've got to me kidding me!
Li Yao was dumbfounded by his own luck, which seemed to always go wrong at the critical moment . Why was the stabilization system that was functioning normally suddenly faulty? And what was the abrupt wave of energy all about?
The four cooling towers were rotating faster and faster, and they were uttering louder noises . The temperature inside the stabilization room had increased by more than ten degrees . Many tubes of cooling liquid were colliding in cracking noises, as if a minor earthquake was breaking out right above their head .
All the rune arrays carved on the dome were glowing and fading . They were emanating dazzling brilliance one moment, only to turn completely dark the next, absorbing all the rays of light in the room!
"The No . 1 rune array group is overloading!"
"The No . 3 rune array group is overloading!"
"The No . 4 rune array group is overloading and on the verge of crash!"
All the workers were sweating hard . They moved agilely among the rune array groups . The specialists of the Feather Clan all opened their wings and flew to the dome, urgently repairing the rune arrays that were about to go out of control while holding back of the scorching steam .
The stabilization system was running very abnormally right now!
Li Yao grabbed Wu Dawei, Jin Zhenyi's disciple, and gnashed his teeth . "What's happening?"
Wu Dawei's face was a little bit pale, too . Shuddering, he replied, "Were—weren't we informed yesterday that the final extreme test would be conducted today?"
Li Yao was slightly dazed . Then he realized what was going on .
For a large magical equipment system such as the Eye of Blood Demon, countless extreme tests were mandatory after any modifications .
Since the tidal force triggered by the three satellites when they were aligned varied, nobody could estimate precisely how strong it would be and how many warriors the tidal force would be able to teleport to the Heaven's Origin Sector .
Therefore, all kinds of extreme states had to be simulated during the tests on the entire system in order to determine the maximum capacity and weight .
Since it was 'extreme state', it was certainly a great examination on the stabilization system, which was equal to a 'live-fire drill' .
However, even though it was an extreme test, the scene was still a bit out of control . What was all the shaking about?
Li Yao glanced over the dome of the stabilization room . Then, attracted by an inconspicuous rune array in the corner, he frowned . "What's with the 'Three Moons Array'? Its resonation frequency seems to have been improved by 15%, doesn't it?"
Every specialist of rune arrays had their own style . Jin Zhenyi was one of the conservative ones . The rune array that was adjusted to a relatively radical state, mixed among so many conservative rune arrays, was as out-of-place as a crystal train in a painting of nature in the eyes of an expert such as Li Yao .
Wu Dawei replied nervously, "It was—it was Director Li . After you were sent to the hospital due to mental derangement in the morning, Director Li took over everything according to the rules . Considering that the extreme test would be conducted at noon, he performed minor adjustments on the stabilization system . "
"Is that so?"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes . He hurried to run to the main biochemical brain and connected two synthesized nerves to his temples .
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Data and information immediately poured down like a storm in his eyes .
Li Yao was frowning harder and harder . He glanced at Deputy Director Li Zhengzhi, who was standing far away .
The fat owl grinned at him with utmost delight .
Li Yao immediately realized what Li Zhengzhi was up to .
Jin Zhenyi and Li Zhengzhi were both specialists of stabilization rune arrays in the Blood Demon Sector . They were on par with each other when they taught at the Thousand Feathers Institute, too . In the academic world, they were at loggerheads with one another and in a very bad relationship .
Then, when they were summoned to the Eye of Blood Demon, Jin Zhenyi's stabilization plan was adopted as the primary plan, and Jin Zhenyi was appointed as the director of the stabilization room, while Li Zhengzhi was merely the deputy directory and a substitute for him .
Naturally, Li Zhengzhi was not very happy about it .
As it happened, right before the final extreme test before the final activation of the Eye of Blood Demon, which would influence a lot of procedures, Jin Zhenyi was mentally deranged and sent into hospital!
Was it not the greatest opportunity for Li Zhengzhi?
According to the rules, when the director was absent, the deputy director would supervise everything . Naturally, Li Zhengzhi was authorized to perform minor adjustments on the stabilization system . Also, Li Zhengzhi knew how long the treatment of mental derangement would take . He was clear that, when Jin Zhenyi was back to work, the extreme test would have already begun!
Therefore, judging from Li Yao's observation, the guy had played tricks on a few inconspicuous, yet critical, parts .
He had adjusted the frequency and the circulation pattern of the key rune arrays to a relatively radical state .
If the entire system had been adjusted to radically, it might be all good .
However, if most of the parts were designed conservatively and only a few parts were set to a radical state, there would be discordance when the system was running under high pressure, which would further affect the stability of the Eye of Blood Eye .
Li Zhengzhi was a master, too . The tricks he made escaped everyone's attention . Others might even have felt that the stability of the system had been improved after his adjustments .
Only the experts in the level of Li Yao could see through it instantly!
Something had indeed gone wrong at the last moment!
