Chapter Eighty-Six: Permafrost Butterfly
After a long silence at the scene, the general calmed down and continued to introduce the president.
Man must always look forward, learn to adapt to everything, no matter how devastating the containment is, human beings must accept it and adapt to its existence.
Clearly, the military has grown accustomed to the absurdity of the existence of containments in the world.
"It's not just that it's ridiculous, if what I've just said can be explained by some unfounded conjecture...... Then it still has a place, which is more idealistic. β
The general said, "We have tested all the machines we have that can be used for testing, and without exception, it can kill all!"
"We tried to destroy the satellites in space directly on land, and we could guarantee that the light from the satellites must have traveled to the sunglasses, but practically...... It did not destroy the satellite. β
"Because the testers themselves, they didn't see the satellite. β
"See, Mr. President, the condition for destroying the machine is not the propagation of light, but the act of 'seeing'!"
And this kind of test, at first glance, seems to be determined by the user, but it is not...... Because we let a two-month-old baby use sunglasses, he can't know if an item is mechanical or not, but the final effect is the same as that used by our soldiers......"
"Gorillas, military dogs, lizards...... Even birds and mice, all the same. β
"No matter how much the user does not want to destroy, the damage effect is not transferred by the user's will. β
The general said: "So, we can basically rule out and destroy the mechanical, neither matter nor energy......"
The president said abruptly, "What's that?"
"Probably...... The act itself!" said the general.
The president suddenly said: "Is it possible to use it to destroy important military facilities in other countries?"
The general knew what the president was thinking, squinted and said, "How to destroy?"
The president said: "Have you ever tried to directly 'see' and kill another country's aircraft carrier through a spy satellite? I know that if you see a target through a screen, the machine on which the screen is located will be destroyed." β
"But didn't you say it was an act? When the TV and computer were destroyed, the machine displayed on the screen was also destroyed?"
The general shook his head and laughed.
"Of course it won't be ruined, Mr. President, it's a very naΓ―ve idea, if you think about it, if you can see the machine in the killing video through the screen, then what if the video is playing on the screen?" said the general.
The president fell into deep thought.
"We did," said the general, "but unfortunately, it only destroyed the computer, not the machine thousands of miles away, even if the image of the machine had already been seen. β
"In fact, if we only see a set of mechanical parts, like the rear of a car. β
"Then it will also be scrapped, but the places that have been inexplicably destroyed will all be concentrated on the half of the view, and the front of the car will not be damaged. β
"It's only when the car is in full view that it's completely destroyed inside and out. β
"Therefore, the target seen through the TV is only a projection, and its real body will not be damaged. β
Speaking of this, the general added: "Of course, it is still very useful, we send people to wear this pair of sunglasses, as long as it is concealed enough and used properly, it is enough to easily set a city back thousands of years." β
"Is there a price?" the president asked.
The general smiled bitterly: "It's not so much the cost, but the side effects, there are three main ones." β
"First, it's uncontrollable, indiscriminately destructive. β
"Second, it's easy to destroy because it's just a fifty-dollar pair of sunglasses, and there are so many ways to destroy it. β
Speaking of this, the general paused.
The president asked, "What is the third side effect?"
The general pulled up a photograph of people with disgusted and even disgusting and retching faces.
The president asked, "What's wrong with these people?"
The general said: "All those who have used it and destroyed machinery will have a disgust for all machinery, and some even curse at a wrench!"
"The more machines are destroyed, and the longer they are worn, the worse this 'mechanical discomfort' becomes!
"The dislike of machines seems to be imprinted in the depths of the soul, and even if you don't know anything, you will instinctively flee to places where there are no machines. β
"Even if you close your eyes and feel the sound of the engine, the vibration of the air conditioner, the wind of the propeller, it will drive them crazy. β
"In severe cases, vomiting, coma, and even shock can cause great physiological rejection. One of the most serious experimenters committed suicide because he couldn't endure the psychological and physical torture in a base full of technological products. β
"That's why we captured the first black man, who was hiding in the wilderness. β
The president exclaimed, "So serious?"
The general shook his head and said: "Actually, it's not very serious, and the vast majority of strong-willed soldiers can bear it." β
"According to statistics, the duration of use is no more than an hour, and it does not spread from psychological disgust to physical aversion. β
"The one that committed suicide lasted more than two hours!"
"Roughly speaking, if you use it only a few times, ordinary people can tolerate it. Compared to another containment object, none of the side effects of the mechanical public enemy deserve the word 'cost'. β
The president took a sip of coffee and said, "Yes, you have three containment items. What else is there besides the Memory Shredder and the Mechanical Public Enemy?"
The general's expression was extremely solemn, he glanced left and right, and did not say anything.
The president hurriedly said: "You can't hide it from me anymore! Your military must tell me such a terrible thing!"
"Mr. President, please let your secretary and Secret Service colleagues leave first, and take all the computers and mobile phones here. The general said.
"Well, why, it's safe here!" the president said.
The general shook his head and said, "No, the White House is not safe in front of the containment. As far as we know, the Foundation has a cyber god-like containment object, and it's likely that we're under its surveillance right now. β
"What?" the president was shocked.
"Shredders and sunglasses, the Foundation already knew, so it didn't matter just now. But the third containment item is truly top secret, we can tell you, but it must be kept absolutely secret!" said the general.
"Good...... Okay......" the president agreed.
I saw that the Secret Service was kicked out of the office, and all the electronics were taken away, including the president's cell phone, of course.
even used strong jamming equipment to fully shield the entire White House with electronic warfare, which made Shao Yuan extremely annoyed.
"Oops, the third containment object can't be eavesdropped!" Shao Yuan said.
Bai Ge didn't care, and silently closed his eyes.
Through the contents of the general's trouser legs, he could still know what was going on there.
"Mr. President, the third containment object, let's call it the Bose Einstein butterfly. The general said solemnly.
"Huh?" the president was stunned.
"I'm sorry, we don't have a picture because it's too dangerous, all the light will stop on it, and the whole will appear as an absolutely black butterfly-like creature with foggy lights and shadows around it, which is the visual effect of the photons slowly escaping. It is initially only one centimeter in size, but slowly increases in volume as more light is absorbed. If a laser is used on it, its volume expands rapidly, and now it has a wingspan of thirty-eight centimeters. β
"As for the mass, the density of the condensed matter is 10 million times thinner than the air, and we can hardly measure the mass of such a large butterfly, and it will not be affected by the resistance of the air. β
Bose Einstein condensate is a special state that only occurs when matter reaches about one millionth degree above absolute zero, and all its atoms are in step with almost no thermal motion.
Matter in this state is the closest to absolute zero, and can even retain light, reducing the speed of a certain light to extremely close to zero.
Scientists have been able to store photons using condensed matter from Boai.
But how could this substance be formed into living beings?
"The butterfly was first spotted at one of our military bases, and a laser test attracted it...... It was able to pass through the human body, freezing people to death instantly, killing hundreds of warriors by it, and finally we used the gravitational field to capture it. The general sighed.
The president asked, "Is this butterfly really a Bose Einstein condensed matter creature?"
"Yes," said the general, "the anomalous property of the Polis is that it will always maintain the condensed state of Bo-Ai! There is no way to make it rise even one degree, and the temperature of the matter it touches will drop rapidly. β
"It can freeze almost all material energy, even light. β
Hearing this, Bai Ge was shocked.
It's another thermodynamic containment, and this one is even more terrifying.
What is the concept of staying in a state close to absolute zero forever? It will continue to absorb the heat of this universe!
"This is a containment object that makes the entire universe pay for its existence. β
"Although it is too small, it will not show harm for the entire universe for hundreds of millions of years. β
"So the first to pay for it will only be the earth. β
