Chapter 25: Madness
"Lu Mingfei! Pay attention to the gestures, I'll block it!! Ye Yu roared angrily
"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was stunned
You're going to block it? Don't be funny! Is this something you can stop? Do you think you're the "God of War"? Always "I'll make the head"?
Don't be a hero, you can't stop a hundred! Now start converting to Christianity, believe in God, and maybe you will be saved!
Ye Yu ran wildly on the rails, and on the gradually smoothing track, Ye Yu stood at the highest point expressionlessly, slowly raising his hand
Lu Mingfei hurriedly held the line of fire, his gaze stayed on Ye Yu's body from below, and he took a breath
Ye Yu stood at the end of the track, the skin of his whole body turned a strange blue-gray, the dense scales pierced the skin and grew bloody, tearing the clothes on his body, and dark golden lava surged in his pupils
Dragonization!!
This was the only way Ye Yu could think of, to carry out a short dragonization of his body without being exposed
There is no doubt that the strange letter and variability of the attack method brought by the phantom pupil, and the dragon's blood brings the extreme strengthening of the body, and the balance of the two forces in the body was forcibly interrupted by Ye Yu, and it proceeded quickly in the direction of dragonization
"Ignition!!" Ye Yu waved his hand violently
Lu Mingfei didn't move, because Ye Yu stepped on the rail, and he ignited the fin-shaped magnetic brake, which was to apply a high-voltage electricity to the rail, and the high-voltage electricity would flow away through the rail. Once he ignited the fire, the current would pierce Ye Yu's heart.
"Don't be stupid! It's going to die! Lu Mingfei roared back
"I can only block him for a moment" Ye Yu's voice was low, with a cold majesty, "Ignite the fire!" Immediately! ”
"Do you know what you're doing?" Lu Mingfei squeezed this sentence out of his throat
He fully understood Ye Yu's intentions, Ye Yu could only block the rail for a moment, and at this moment, as long as Lu Ming was not ignition, the fin-shaped magnetic brake would brake the roller coaster, and the roller coaster would accelerate back along the ascending track, and the steel rail tumbling in the water foam would fly past the roller coaster
But whether it was ignition or a tumbling rail, Ye Yu had little chance of surviving
Lu Mingfei grabbed the fire line and the zero line in his hands, and his hands trembled
"Listen, whether you light the fire or not, I can't go back" Ye Yu's face was calm, his dark golden eyes stared at Lu Mingfei, and the scales slowly spread to his chin
Lu Mingfei bit his mouth tightly, his hands trembled and he could barely grasp the wire, and tears couldn't help but gush out
As for it, they were all so brave, it seemed that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, Lu Mingfei really wanted to grab Ye Yu's collar and yell at him, "Are you stupid!" One by one, they regard their lives as worthless!! Have you ever thought about other people's feelings!! ”
"Ignition!!" Ye Yu turned around and roared
Lu Mingfei shuddered for a moment, and suddenly hooked the zero line and the fire line together!
Ye Yu laughed silently, his hands clenched in front of him, the pupils of his dark golden eyes turned blue, and an inconspicuous bracer on his left wrist instantly seemed to melt, and a small sword was conjured in the palm of his hand, and violent spatial fluctuations gathered in both hands, constantly extending, an invisible and colorless giant sword continued to expand in his hand, and a strange spatial realm expanded in Ange's words
The steel rail smashed head-on towards Ye Yu, and behind Ye Yu was the roller coaster, the braking had begun, and the high-voltage electricity made him tremble
Ye Yu wants to fight for a moment, a moment for a roller coaster to accelerate in reverse
The steel bone crashed into Ye Yu's domain, and the violent spatial power slowly froze the space around the steel bone, Ye Yu's forehead was bruised, and the giant sword in his hand was raised above his head violently
"Break it for me!!"
Slashed down, the water foam in front of Ye Yu suddenly parted to both sides, flowing out from both sides of Ye Yu's body, the steel bones paused suddenly, and the steel weighing several tons was violently twisted and deformed at this moment, the sound of sharp teeth grinding was elongated at this moment, and the steel rails separated and collapsed at this moment, grazing Ye Yu's body and flying out to both sides
His eyes were blank, he lost his balance, his body was numb, I don't know if it was because he had exhausted his strength, or because the high-voltage current had passed through his body, his eyes were full of light, and his body emitted a strong smell of burning, he floated in the air, pulling the corners of his mouth, wanting to make a final smile
The strong heart brought by dragonization only lasted for a moment in the face of high-voltage electricity, but this moment was enough
He didn't want to see the ending, he had done his best, and the ending no longer meant anything to him
He's going to die, it's his last nerve current
The corners of his mouth tugged at him, and he fell into the foam that he had torn
The speed of the roller coaster finally slows to zero, and after a momentary pause, all the rails reverse and return along the ascending track
Ange lost consciousness at the moment, and the gold in his pupils faded
The realm of [Spirit of Words and Eternity] was terminated, Lu Mingfei was almost thrown out, he didn't have time to climb back into the car, he could only hold on to the railing at the back of the car and hang outside
Lu Mingfei looked at the figure swallowed by the water foam sprayed out by the high-pressure water gun in a daze······ There was a momentary blank in my mind
The white figure jumped out of the roller coaster, it was Natsumi! She ran along the rails to the curtain of water and sank into it
Lu Mingfei didn't figure out what was going on, more than ten seconds later, he hung his arms on the railing at the back of the car, returned to the acceleration tunnel, he squatted in the dark holding the railing for a long time, like squatting in a pit, thinking for a long, long time, I don't know if I should cry
------------------------------- my --------- is ---------- ---------- cut the ----------- line-------------------------------------
On the first floor of the rector's office at the Kassel Academy, there is a huge oak conference table among the bookshelves, and the table is so full of people that the back row has to stand to attend
More than half of the professors of the Kassel Academy attended the meeting, some of the old faces had never appeared on the campus, they were pale as if they had been dug up from an ancient tomb, and each of them wore an ancient silver ring on the little finger of their left hand, the emblem of the Kassel Academy
Guderian was also given the opportunity to attend, but was squeezed into a corner. He cautiously looked at the expressionless old faces, pinched his empty little finger with inferiority, and blushed with excitement
The antique silver ring is the exclusive honor of a "professor for life", and a professor who has served as a model of education for 30 consecutive years after the Kassel student becomes a full professor can add the word "for life" to the title of "professor".
Guderian is still an assistant professor
But now he is counting on Lu Mingfei, the only "S" level, to turn him into a regular
"Oh my God! That's Doug Jones, the core expert on the Manhattan Project! A milestone in the history of nuclear physics! I thought he was dead! Guderian elbowed Manstein next to him
"And Jean Grus, my God! Is it really him? It was he who allowed the United States to get to the moon ahead of the USSR! And he turned down the Nobel Prize! ”
"I'm going to pass out! Give me a hand, it's Blair Binat, known as the 'King Solomon of Mathematics'! If the media knew he was still alive······ The whole world will be a sensation! He was an Einstein-like man in mathematics! The door to the kingdom of imaginary numbers has been opened for mankind! Without him, humanity's understanding of mathematics would be missing at least! Guderian tried to keep his voice down, but his voice was shaking
"Don't go into the city like a countryman!" Manstein had to reprimand him in a low voice, "No! You're now like a star-chasing girl facing Ladygaga! ”
"But in front of them, I don't even have the level of a star-chasing girl! That's why I joined the Kassel Academy! In order to stand in the temple of science with these great geniuses! Guderian said seriously, "I know they are all tenured professors at the Kassel Academy, I just didn't think of it······ They're all alive! ”
"As a half-breed, it's natural to live longer than the average human, and there's nothing to make a fuss about. Since the beginning of the last century, the academy has introduced top scientists of mixed races as the heads of the departments, haven't you noticed that many of the heads of the departments have never shown their faces? I guess Doug Jones is the head of the physics department, Jean Grus is probably the head of the precision mechanics department, and Mr. Solomon must be the head of the mathematics department, and they are all focused on their own research, no longer taking students, and they are reluctant to even get out of the laboratory, just to get a few more steps closer to the realm of truth before they die. Just look at their faces and understand, the genius of science? No, a madman in science! ”
Manstein pouted at the withered old men sitting around the table, "You want to be like them?" ”
"I don't want to ······" Guderian scratched his head
"It's like a sentence, the so-called geniuses in the history of science are all sacrifices of human beings to science, they only have research left in their minds, not even a life, if possible, let their limbs degenerate and only have a brain to think, they are probably willing to ······"
Manstein appreciated the fact that this old academic maniac still had a shred of sanity
Although he had known each other since childhood, and both graduated from Harvard, Manstein took a path that was not at all different from Guderian's, he had always been an active community activist, and had minors in business and law school, and when he was not bald in his youth, he was a prominent figure on the Harvard campus, and Guderian was a gray-faced academic dog, forever in the laboratory and in the library, dreaming of becoming a great scientist
Many years later, the rank of the two speaks for itself, and although Manstein's graduation thesis was written by Guderian's gang, Manstein is now a professor of political science at the Kassel Academy and head of the Discipline Committee, and Guderian is still working on the title of "professor".
Manstein always wanted to find a good opportunity to teach his old friend how to follow his own path in life······
Although Guderian's life path is probably halfway over······
"Where am I worthy to be like them?" Guderian was as shy as a girl who was excited about her idol, "just hoping to be able to pour tea and water for the madmen who rushed to the truth······
Manstein stroked his forehead silently, not knowing how to describe the feeling of powerlessness in his heart
It's like ······ The billionaire shows his son the empire he has built all his life, and the hundreds of thousands of employees around the world work together like parts on a precision machine, creating great wealth every moment
The rich man said emotionally, son, all this will be yours in the future, how do you want to rule it?
My son Star-Eye said, "My goal is to become a great artist like Van Gogh!"
······
"Silence." Ange buckled the brass bell in front of him
Guderian and Manstein kept their mouths shut, in fact, from the beginning of the meeting to the present, only the two of them were muttering, most of the participants were as solemn as dead parents, and the "tenured professors" who lived in seclusion at the pinnacle of academia were expressionless······· It's like a dead mom and dad
"What level of dragons can do it?" Ange looked around, breaking the silence
"Are you sure it's the dragons?" Doug Jones, head of the physics department, pondered the words
His back was hunched, his aging spine almost bent in a circle, his emaciated body was covered with a heavy black leather coat out of season, and he coughed as he spoke, and it looked like he was going to die if he couldn't catch it in one breath.
"Comparing the two photos, the destroyed train station and the destroyed roller coaster both collapsed the entire metal structure in just a few seconds, and the huge shear stress flow destroyed the metal parts from the inside in an instant." Ange placed two high-resolution black-and-white photographs side by side on the table, the twisted aluminum beams and steel rails had an unusually hideous aesthetic, like a snake bone that had been stripped of flesh and twisted
"We have some of the best mechanics in the world, who have worked with mechanics for decades, who have designed buildings that can withstand magnitude 9 earthquakes, and who still stand all over the world, but none of them can explain the stresses." Ange glanced at the gray-haired old man to the left of the conference table, "Grus, tell me about your analysis. ”
"Without results, mechanically speaking, this is absolutely impossible. An inexplicably huge torsional force is applied to the metal structure, and the resulting shear stress forms a shear stress flow"
"Not all of you here study mechanics, but simply put, a huge force flows like water inside the metal pieces, and in the fragile and narrow places the force density is extremely high, and these otherwise indestructible metal pieces disintegrate in just a few seconds."
The Atrium Serpent is one of only three class coasters in the world, and in order to ensure the safety of guests, the design should use an inch of steel to enlarge to five inches, even if an F-22 fighter jet is facing it, it may not destroy its steel structure, but the torque is applied so precisely that the effect of shear stress is magnified to the extreme. Jean Gruss talked eloquently, he was still a well-dressed professor for life, with a gold chain of a pocket watch hanging from his black waistcoat, and his gray hair was combed back after being groomed with hair oil, like a retro-style artist, probably a romantic figure in addition to climbing the heights of science
"So it's all about the torque? As long as there is torsion, there will be stress, why is it said that it is impossible to happen? Schneider asked, as the head of the executive department, he had the authority to sit at the table
"In the Apollo moon landing program, our goal was to design a spacecraft that could land beyond Earth······" Gruss said slowly
Blair Bittner frowned and shook his head, "Gruss, don't go into a long story about your glorious history and tell them what that damn stress is all about?" ”
The king of mathematics was obviously not in vain, sitting there with a black cane decorated with ivory in both hands, his back straightened, full of lion-like anger, like a Japanese samurai preparing to disembowel, full of domineering air
"Well, in short, the core of all design is aesthetics and mechanics, and aesthetics comes from mechanics, and the great beauty of mechanics is because of ······"
"Be more concise!" Bittner paused heavily on his crutches
"Ghostly stress." Gruss only said six words this time
There is obviously a difference between lifelong professors, and Gruss, an old playboy, is in awe of King Solomon, and the strong man who supports half of the kingdom of human mathematics is really not a dry meal
"Ghostly stress?" The professors looked at each other, although it came from the mouths of the top experts in the academic world, but the description was too unbelievable
"I've made a model of the stress distribution inside the 'Atrium Serpent' during the few seconds it collapses, and I've had Norma turn it into a picture." Binet whispered, reaching for a notebook from his briefcase
This old guy who looks like he has traveled over from 1940 is a little uncomfortable, but Binet skillfully connected the data cable, and the bookshelf behind Ange moved left and right, revealing the projection screen hanging on the wall
Binat's notebook desktop is displayed on the screen
"Oh······ Looks like a master of the game······" Guderian whispered. Binet's desktop is littered with countless shortcuts, except for specialized software that laymen don't understand at all, mainly StarCraft, Warcraft, and Counter-Strike······
Binat probably heard this, and his face twitched, and he quickly called up an oversized picture and covered the table
The dark green lines on the black background outline the steel skeleton structure of the 'Atrium Snake', and inside the steel skeleton structure, red dotted lines are connected end to end in a ring
"These red dotted lines are what Gruss calls shear stresses, and you can imagine them circulating the invisible water of force through the steel structure." Binat uses the mouse to rotate along the red wireframe. "The denser the dotted line, the greater the shear stress, which is called 'stress concentration', and when the stress concentration reaches a certain point, the crystal structure inside the metal will collapse."
"Mr. Binat, as a researcher of dragon genealogy, I don't quite understand," Guderian raised his hand as if he were a student, "since shear stress is such a bad thing, didn't the designer take it into account when designing it?" ”
"Very good question, the designers of the roller coaster are excellent mechanics experts, of course they will consider all the factors that affect safety, the roller coaster moves at high speed on the rails, the stress and shear stress no longer shake the metal skeleton all the time, you can imagine that in each round of the roller coaster, there are all kinds of stresses inside the rails, these invisible forces are not as uniform as I drew on the diagram, but extremely complex, like a chaotic river."
"But the designers still believe that in the vast majority of cases, the stresses will not be so great as to cause the rails to collapse." Bijnat glanced at Gruss, "But a 1 in 10 million chance, a very special situation······ It's your area of expertise. ”
Gruss cleared his throat, "This is the very special situation that Dr. Bijnat just mentioned as 'stress concentrations.' In an instant, the shear stress flow is concentrated at a certain fragile junction, creating a huge 'net force' that destroys that point! But in order to channel stress concentrations, or awaken 'ghostly' stresses, it is necessary to fully analyze the entire structure of the building, which is a terrible amount of calculation, and even Norma cannot do it", Gruss looked around, "Do any of you know the ancient fist method of the East?" ”
No one answered, the thinking of the genius of the academic world was so elegant, from outer space to the metal in an instant, and back to the ancient Oriental boxing method, the professors all had the feeling of floating in the clouds without touching the ground.
Gruss nodded, "I've been working on a Chinese martial art recently, and it's called 'King Kong One Finger Zen'"
There was silence in the room
"Ancient Orientals, especially the Chinese, were good at boxing, and legend has it that they could smash hard objects with their fists, such as huge rocks. As is commonly understood, this is never possible, and fists are made up of water, protein, and a small amount of calcium in bones. Fragile phalanges can break with a single snap, and crushing less hard sandstone requires a carbide drill rig. But research shows that this ancient boxing method does exist, the key lies in the position of the hit and the technique of force, must be used to hit the most vulnerable place with delicate force, the Chinese call that position 'eye' or 'hole', the rock has the eye of the rock, the steel also has the eye of steel, the power is poured into the eye like flowing water, causing the stress inside the target, the result of stress concentration is that the entire target is shattered, and even instantly turned into powder. ”
"So," said Ange, "the two ambushes at the South Railway Station and the Six Flags Amusement Park are our Diran a mysterious old boxer? ”
"It turned out to be an old boxer," Guderiano thought
"An old boxer may be able to smash a stone tablet, but the Serpent in the Atrium is a building made of high-strength steel." Manstein whispered, "The old boxer they are talking about should be another being······"
"King of the Earth and the Mountain"
The conference room fell silent
After a long silence, the lifelong professors straightened up and said in solemn voices, "Yes." ”
"From now on, the commissioners of the Executive Department around the world will be active, searching for all traces of dragon activities, we are facing a dragon that has awakened, and his father is the great Black King Nidhogg!" Ange got up slowly, "Inform all the school directors that the new season of war has begun. ”
