Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Horror of Active Metals
"It's Kanon Gamen, you bastard, you can't study anything, but you created this terrifying creature, if the world is destroyed in the future, then you are the culprit. The old dwarf Famut said in a vicious tone.
"Of course, I regret it, but who knew that reactive metals have such strange abilities, aren't they trying to find a way to solve it now?" said Kanongamun helplessly.
"Solve the fart, not to mention that the greedy and ignorant ninth-order archmages in your academy are thinking about getting the active metal out all day long, causing us a lot of trouble in our research progress, you don't know. And the strange ability of active metals, we still can't find any clue, and what is the way to solve it. Famut scoffed.
"There's always a way. Kanon Gamen smiled complicatedly.
"Teacher, what is wrong with reactive metals?" Ivan wondered.
"You little brat, what's the use of listening, go and go, go home and play in the mud. Famut said impatiently.
"Famut, it doesn't matter if you hear it. Kanom Gamen advised.
"Whatever you want, pee, anyway, I, a slave, can't control your master's business. Famut snorted.
"Originally, there was nothing wrong with the reactive metal, but as I continued to eat and grow, the golden bug finally had a problem one day. It exploded, and its entire body exploded with a "bang", turning into dozens of ordinary wires.
At the time, I was disappointed, but when I didn't pay attention for a day or two, and when I looked back, I was shocked to find that the wires in the culture tank had turned into young golden worms.
At that time, I realized that the first-generation golden bugs were not dead, but asexual reproduction, and with their own bodies, tens of thousands of second-generation golden bugs were born, and I understood that I might have created a new life.
I didn't destroy these creatures that I had created by stepping into the forbidden zone of the gods, but continued to study. When I found out that the golden bug burrowed into the body of the experimental mouse, it would form a strong defense on the surface of the experimental mouse, which made me even more surprised, which showed that the weakness of the mage's weak body could be overcome.
Surprised, I couldn't wait to let out the news, and the entire academy was greatly shocked, and the night before I was about to hand over the research results of active metals, an accident broke all my joy, and made me feel like I fell into an ice cellar, and regretted.
A goblin researcher accidentally got into his body by a golden bug, which is nothing, and should be used to strengthen the goblin's defense. But when I called the goblin, it didn't answer me, and I finally realized that something was wrong.
After careful inspection, I finally discovered a terrible fact, the goblin's body may have changed owners, and the new owner was the golden worm.
This fact gave me a very foreboding feeling, and the next day I immediately refused to hand over the golden bug, and finally resisted the pressure of the academy's higher-ups through the Magic Council's intellectual property protection regulations, so that I had time to carefully study the goblin body whose autonomous consciousness was suspected to have been replaced by reactive metal.
After a period of thorough analysis, Famut and I finally discovered the domineering of active metal, the spiritual power of the golden bug is different, there is a very strange devouring ability, as long as the golden bug burrows into the body of any creature, the autonomous consciousness of that creature will be devoured, and the golden bug will become the new owner of that creature's body.
This discovery, coupled with the powerful reproduction ability of active metals, how can I not know that the active metals I created, that is, the nemesis of all the world's self-conscious life, the whole world may be destroyed by these terrifying golden bugs. Kanon Gamen said slowly.
Ivan looked at the golden insects in the cultivation tank in shock, it was really unbelievable, these seemingly harmless active metals on the outside, with such terrifying abilities, as long as he thought of the hundreds of millions of golden insects pouring into the human world in the future, burrowing into the human body, devouring the autonomous consciousness of the human being, and occupying the human body, Ivan felt shuddering.
"In order to prevent the worst from happening, Famut and I began to think of ways to solve it, first of all, the reproduction ability of reactive metals is very strong, it can reproduce once in half a year, a golden bug can reproduce dozens, maybe less than a hundred years, the golden bug may multiply into a race larger than humans.
In order to solve the multiplication ability of active metals, we have concocted a potion that can make active metals sleep, and the effect has been good for more than ten years, and the number of active metals has been maintained between hundreds of thousands. Kanongamon pointed to the green liquid in the tank.
"Don't be too happy, this method is to treat the symptoms after all, not to eliminate the roots, everything else is empty, to tell you a bad news, the active metal has become resistant to the agent, within ten years, these hundreds of thousands of golden bugs will wake up one after another, and then in half a year, dozens of times the growth.
When the time comes, hundreds of millions of golden bugs will break through this experimental hall, and the first to suffer is your Supreme Magic Academy. Looking at Kanongamen's somewhat relaxed expression, Famut unceremoniously dismantled this fragile illusion.
"I know. Kanongamun's tone was filled with a mixture of heaviness and an indescribable hint of remorse.
"Teacher, can't you just destroy and kill these reactive metals?" Ivan asked.
Kanongamon shook his head with a wry smile and said no.
"You idiot boy, if you can easily kill it, your teacher and I still have such a headache, do you see that giant furnace over there? Hundreds of heating magic arrays were engraved in that furnace, making the temperature in the furnace reach nearly 10,000 degrees, which could easily destroy any high-level magic tools, hard ores, and titanium steel alloys. But it just can't kill those active metals, and can only make those golden bugs turn into liquids, which will always exist in that big pool. "Famut doesn't have a good air.
"Okay, Ivan, you don't have to worry about the problem of reactive metal, your current knowledge and strength are not enough to solve the problem of reactive metal, and your current focus is to be promoted to a full-fledged mage first. Kanom Gamen said.
"Teacher, I wonder if the disciple can bring a piece of active metal back to study?" Ivan asked in an uncertain tone.
Hearing this, the old dwarf on the side almost jumped up, so angry that the two green tentacles between his mouth flew up, and before he could roar, Kanongamon said first: "Yes, but you must not tell anyone the secret in this, you know?"
"The disciple understands. Ivan saluted respectfully.
