Several days later, Oedmeir created a sealed chamber. She connected her personal Gellar Field to it and had the recruited volunteers enter for comparative testing.
An ordinary planetary resident, an Astra Militarum soldier with average physical training, a servitor with more parts than flesh, and a Penitent Army captain who had once been a Battle Sister.
These specimens represented the Imperium's broad population. Their conditions would roughly apply to others as well; even if there were differences, they likely would not be significant.
Oedmeir turned the dial, gradually adjusting the output of the personal Gellar Field.
If it were merely a matter of resisting ordinary Chaos corruption, Lin Fan was not too worried.
But once he truly began relying on new technology for production, that bastard Tzeentch would definitely step in personally to cause trouble.
The output was adjusted to 55%, the level Oedmeir normally used.
The comfortably designed room allowed people to remain inside for extended periods. At first, the planetary resident began struggling to breathe, repeatedly tugging at his collar in an attempt to make breathing easier.
Then the Astra Militarum soldier and the servitor displayed obvious discomfort. As for the Penitent Army captain who had once been a Battle Sister, she showed no further adverse reactions.
Six hours later, the ordinary planetary resident fainted, and Lin Fan carried him out on his back.
After ten hours, everyone except the Battle Sister had fallen unconscious, their eyes shut and bodies drawn taut.
Lin Fan hurried inside to pull them out and lay them on the ground so they could recover, allowing their departed souls to settle back into their bodies.
Then they replaced them with another group in similar condition, though the Penitent Army captain remained unchanged.
Oedmeir adjusted the energy output to the standard 75% used for
