Chapter 46: The Photon Barrier

There were still some Russian gangsters on the dock who had not yet left, and when they heard the screams and gunfire from the ship, they all knew that something was wrong, but the gangway had been retracted, and they would not be able to climb the freighter dozens of meters high for a while.

Rorschach instructed Li Bai to be on guard, and then ignored the people on the shore. Anyway, this is the most hidden corner of the docks, and the movement here will definitely not attract attention. The Russian gangsters were specially selected to do the illegal things, which happened to do Rorschach a great favor.

Following Violet's prompt, Rorschach made his way to the cabin. Most of the stacked containers were filled with human beings ready to be trafficked, and only one of the containers contained nuclear waste for inspection.

Locking the door of the container, Rorschach quickly found what he needed.

Yellow oil drums are neatly stacked all over the container, made of materials that insulate radiation and are quite expensive.

Nuclear waste generally refers to radioactive waste that is no longer needed in the production and processing of nuclear fuel and in nuclear reactors. After recycling, some useful plutonium elements can be extracted, and the rest must be specially treated, otherwise it will pollute the environment.

And what Rorschach needs is precisely this highly radioactive nuclear waste.

The armor of the sensor gloves folded automatically, and Rorschach reached out and touched the yellow oil drums filled with nuclear waste without hesitation. Special materials that can isolate radiation cannot isolate the induction of ignition source energy.

Rorschach quickly got a satisfactory answer.

As the energy of the fire source continued to be consumed, a ball of blue light was pulled out of the oil barrel by Rorschach. Like a cocoon that has been pulled out of the thread, a trace of blue line represents all the radiant energy in this oil drum.

Rorschach patiently touched the oil drums one by one, and the blue lines stained on his hands became more and more and brighter, and finally condensed into a fist-sized sapphire.

It is as if it were the purest gemstone in the world, shining even in the dark.

Condense an energy activation instrument, and the upper limit of the energy of the fire source becomes five thousand. Rorschach didn't mean to stop at all, and spent more than half an hour extracting all the radiant energy in this container, and finally condensed it into a total of seven energy activators.

With the addition of the previous three pieces, the upper limit of the fire source has been increased by exactly 10,000 points.

Today's Tinder source data:

[Tinder Source Energy (Phase 2): 434/11000, Energy Recovery Speed 11/sec. 】

[When the spark source energy reaches the second stage, the upper limit of the robot has been increased to 7, and the remaining number of places is now 4.] 】

[Able to exceed 10,000 at the upper limit, unlock new equipment: Photon Barrier.] 】

[Photon Barrier: Consumes 1000 ignition source energy and transforms it with an energy activator.] When activated, it obtains a photon barrier, which can resist some energy and physical attacks. 】

"The raw material actually needs to consume energy activators, but fortunately, it is just 11,000, otherwise this new equipment will not be used." Rorschach said with emotion.

After waiting for a few more minutes for some of the Tinder Source energy to recover and consume an energy activator, Rorschach was able to create the new equipment of this photon barrier.

The sapphire, which was originally the size of a fist, turned into a metal cross that was no bigger than the palm of a hand, and it looked like a slightly larger necklace pendant.

[Photon Barrier: Consuming 100 Spark Source Energy can activate the Photon Energy Shield, with a maximum expansion area of 16 square meters. 】

"It's great to have defensive equipment." Rorschach genuinely felt that this equipment was really timely.

In this world where almost everyone is open, being able to live is the greatest ability. And Rorschach is still an ordinary person's physical fitness, and he is really quite insecure.

Now that there is finally a good thing that can save your life, how can you not be happy?

One hundred points of spark source energy, which is only ten seconds of recovery time. Rorschach tried to inject the Tinder Source energy into this cross, and in the blink of an eye, there was a translucent blue barrier in front of him.

Four meters by four meters, exactly sixteen square sizes. It looks like an illusory projection of light, and when the edges touch the ground and other things, they just disappear without the feeling of collision.

Rorschach tried to control the translucent barrier to change shape, and found it quite difficult. It can twist this plane into an arc of 120 degrees at most, which is about the same as the angle of a person's gaze.

Adjusting the size is also quite difficult, sixteen square meters is the largest unfolded range, but if Rorschach wants to compress it into only the front of him, it will take several seconds to adjust.

"It seems that you still need to practice often, otherwise it will be troublesome enough to come out on a big screen every time." Rorschach said a little dissatisfied.

However, the key to a piece of defensive equipment is to see how well it is defensive.

Rorschach used his mind to control the photon barrier to flip over, facing the defense against him, and then drew his pulse pistol to shoot.

Forty pulsed energy bullets similar to miniature grenades were all gone, and the photon barrier was only covered with cracks, but it was not completely shattered.

"That's good, but doesn't this thing only block bullets?" Rorschach tried to reach out, his fingertips slowly piercing the barrier unhindered. The alloy dagger with the sensor gloves seems to be able to easily penetrate the shield surface.

But when Rorschach clenched his fists and slammed them the shield, he clearly felt that he had hit a very tough surface. At the same time, there were more cracks on the surface of the shield, and it was obvious that it had been impacted.

It took several tests before Rorschach understood the principle of this photonic barrier, which is a special layer of energy similar to the properties of a non-Newtonian fluid.

Rorschach had seen some experiments with non-Newtonian fluids that looked like a gooey flour soup. When you reach down and poke it, it's easy to sink your entire arm inside. But when you punch it, you can't even penetrate the skin.

Even with the speed of a trot, you can walk on this slimy liquid surface, which is completely capable of carrying the weight of a person. And when you stop, you're immediately stuck in this slime.

To put it simply, when this photon barrier encounters a fast and powerful attack, the energy on the surface of the shield will instantly condense to form a strong blocking force. But if the speed of the object is very slow, it will pass through unhindered if it is touched lightly like Rorschach.

In hand-to-hand combat, this thing may not be effective, but when it comes to ranged attacks such as firearms, this photon barrier is quite useful.

Putting away the new equipment, Rorschach released the poor people in the container. Rorschach didn't give them any explanation, just to empty the cabin with water and food, as well as clean clothes and bedding and emergency medicine.

These real materials are piled up in front of these women and children, and they are more convincing than any language.

And as soon as he did all this, Rorschach received a call from Matt: "Rorschach, the car I was tracking entered the military area, and I couldn't get in at all." ”
