Chapter 138: Red Matter
Under our command, the work of clearing the ruins was quickly completed, after all, our guild has a lot of engineering personnel, and this is our base camp, so it is natural to work quickly. While you're clearing the rubble and repairing the building, I've signed that final agreement with Ashford and the Spearhead. But the Spear God and Ashford are gone, but I can't be idle.
"Is there a backup of the drawings?" In a newly built test site in the desert near the Steel City, I was communicating with the god of war with a crystal telecom, while a large group of researchers stood beside me.
"The drawings have been backed up, and I also have a record of the number of jù when it was real."
"Then you come over here right away, I'm going to see what the hell blew up my Magic Crystal Power Research Institute like that."
"Okay."
Through the large crystal communicator, we quickly received various numbers from the military gods. As soon as the researchers gathered around me got the numbers, they began to scatter around and carry out their work. On the other side of the wall, a large crystal screen showed more people analyzing the numbers.
In fact, the place I am in now is not the real yàn room, strictly speaking, this place should be called a test ground, and the mysterious substance before almost scrapped the real magic crystal power research institute. I don't want to repeat that situation again, so I'm using this place for realization. Now this place is the place where our guild has built it specifically for the study of particularly dangerous substances. Although the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute that was blown up also has this kind of equipment, but that one is medium-sized, and the suppression power is not very strong, but the one installed here is large, and there are two up and down, and the suppression force is dozens of times stronger than the equipment of the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute. In addition, we have reduced the production volume for safety reasons.
Last time, we only synthesized a drop and blew off half of the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute, and this time we plan to only synthesize a fraction of a gram, so that even if it explodes, it shouldn't have much power. And even if it really blows up, we are not afraid, because the only thing that works here is the player's trumpet, in addition to the cheap simple remote control puppet. The cost of simple remote control puppets is very low, anyway, they don't need too strong athletic ability to do it, and the cost is naturally easy to control, and those players' trumpets are only 2o level, so they are not afraid of death at all. As for me, although I was also at the scene, with my defenses, as long as I was fully armed, that bit of explosive power would not hurt me.
Under the careful operation of a group of real people, that ignorance was soon extracted. In fact, according to the conclusion of our analysis of the data, the machine qì recorded on the drawings produced it is not the magic crystal vapor at all, but something even more terrifying - the concentrated liquid magic crystal. In the end, we used the real room method to make a little finished product according to the production principle of the machine, but it can only be seen with a magnifying glass, after all, this thing will explode. If we do too much, we're afraid of blowing up the real room.
"That's what it is?" I asked, looking at the crystal bottle that the clerk was holding carefully.
"That's right, sir, this is the thing." The real member said excitedly, "We just tested it, and the energy density of this substance may have reached the energy level of the Colorful Magic Crystal, except that it cannot be recharged repeatedly and automatically regenerate its energy, it is almost a liquid Colorful Magic Crystal. ”
"So awesome?"
The real member continued excitedly, "Of course, you must know that in order to synthesize such a little, we have consumed nearly a hundred times the volume of the White Magic Crystal!" However, if it is really possible to produce liquid colorful magic crystals on a large scale, it is worth it even if it consumes a thousand times more white magic crystals. ”
I nodded in understanding, after all, the value of the Colorful Magic Crystal was too high. If you can really exchange the white magic crystal for the colorful magic crystal, even one hundred to one is extremely cost-effective. "By the way, that thing exploded as soon as it was synthesized in Isenger before, so you just put it in a bottle and you'll be fine?"
As soon as he heard my words, the real member immediately boasted proudly: "President, don't underestimate a bottle. That's my pride. There is a levitating magic circle under the bottle, and the matter in it is suspended in the center of the bottle without touching the bottle. Even if the properties of the substance are unstable, it will not react with the bottle if it does not come into contact with the bottle. In addition, I also added a gas repulsion magic array to the mouth of the bottle, so the bottle is actually vacuum, which can also rule out the possibility of gas and contents reacting. In addition, this bottle can actually change color, and if necessary, it can be completely opaque, so that it can be used to hold some substances that are easy to photodecompose. Hey, how's that? This little bottle I designed is amazing, right? ”
"Yes, it's full of use. But what was the reason for the explosion of this substance last time? ”
"It's not clear yet. We just made a little bit of a real idea of whether this kind of container can prevent it from exploding, and now that it is safe. We're going to produce a little more, and then we're going to use it for all kinds of realizations, and see what its various properties are. ”
"Okay, let's get started."
At my urging, everyone immediately began to get busy, and the personnel in the monitoring center in the distance were also busy doing calculations, although they could not go to the scene to operate, but the operation was actually enough for one or two people, and they could also participate in the calculation of numbers in the rear.
After more than half an hour of work, we made a few kilograms of the substance, which was enough to fill a two-liter bottle of Coke if it fit into a bottle. Once we have this material, we start the nature test.
A couple of remote-controlled puppets have come up with a device that looks a bit like a large hair dryer, and according to the real man next to him, this is an atomization device that can atomize liquid substances into extremely tiny particles and spray them out, and can accurately control the atomization range and spray degree. Originally, this thing was used to test the optimal combustion value of liquid combustibles, but because the unnamed substance itself is extremely unstable, it can only be used. After all, what it does best is blow high-explosive substances out without hurting itself.
To be on the safe side, we ended up getting the device to a wind tunnel-like place before we started experimenting. Several remote-controlled puppets, under the control of the researcher, carefully connected the crystal bottle to the raw material mouth of the device. According to the explanation of the real member, this atomization spraying device and the bottle are matched, so the substances in the bottle will not contact air and other things, but will only be sucked into the atomization equipment by the magic array in a vacuum environment and atomized, and it will never come into contact with any substance before the atomization port is sprayed, which ensures that even highly corrosive substances can be easily atomized.
Immediately after the connection was complete, we hid in a defensive circle before we dared to activate the atomization spray device. Judging from the previous explosions, that kind of thing should explode back as soon as it touches the air, so I guess that what will be sprayed after atomization will probably not be a cloud of smoke like water mist, but a huge pillar of fire. But despite the fact that we have been mentally prepared. But when the thing actually spewed out, we were still taken aback. I saw that a huge pillar of fire nearly 100 meters long erupted from the nozzle of the atomization ejector with a loud bang, and the reason why this pillar of fire only sprayed so long was not because it was not powerful enough, but because this wind tunnel was so long, and there was a big fan at the end, blocking the flames. However, compared to this nearly 100-meter-long pillar of fire, what is even more amazing is the other side. The ejector was originally fixed to the ground, but as soon as it was activated, it easily pulled off the eight steel bars that held it in place, flew forward like a missile, and then slammed headlong into the fan at the other end of the wind tunnel with a big explosion.
"Holy!" The researcher, who had sworn how safe this device was, was instantly dumbfounded. But fortunately, he reacted quickly, and quickly crushed a remote control crystal, and then saw that a large amount of light blue cryogenic gas was instantly injected into the passage, and within a few seconds, the entire passage was frozen into a whole large ice mound, and the device finally stopped.
Seeing that the researcher was about to examine himself, I quickly stopped him. "Now I just want to hear the study, you better get that thing out of here!"
After more than half an hour of busyness, the frozen wind tunnel was finally melted back open, and the bottle of special substance was also taken out. This time it was lucky, or the researcher's previous big words weren't too fake. His ejector, though not really guaranteed to be 100% safe, at least sealed the crystal bottle at the last moment, so in the end, although the ejector itself was blown up, the crystal bottle was saved. Otherwise, once the bottle shatters, the unknown substances in it will flow out, and the fun will be great.
Because of this accident, we ended up having to use a lot of small bottles to disperse the contents of that bottle, otherwise we couldn't afford another accident. In view of the fact that the previous real yàn was too dangerous, all the subsequent real yàn were switched to micro tests, although it was more difficult to collect the number of jù, but it was generally safer.
After a night of hard work, by dawn the next day, we finally figured out most of the properties of this substance, and because the external characteristics and properties of this thing are very similar to those of a class explosive in a movie, we named it after the name of that movie, Red Matter.
