"I'll tell you about this." Faethon repeated the relevant information of the "imprinted torpedo" and said to him-

"So, this is a weapon made in Rome that can actively pursue the enemy, the size of a torpedo, and it is very powerful? Can even Shang Luo be injured? ”

"Because the charge in there is not explosives." "When that torpedo exploded, it burst the core of Vulcan inside, and then collapsed inward - so it wasn't technically an explosion, but a piece that was 'cut' from the world and taken away." ”

"So that's it? If it hits me."

"Yes, I might pick out some part of your body and take it away. But it is not an explosive after all, and even if it is destroyed, it will not 'explode', and it will only be triggered under certain conditions. So it's not very dangerous for those in the know. ”

"You're going to experiment with this stuff?" Zhu Xianene looked at the two of them in disbelief, "Are you planning to 'pick' something off the Purple Mountain?" ”

"No, no, no, I mean let it not explode, just fly. You can't explode, right? ”

"No," said Phaethon, shaking his head, "the torpedo we designed is a torpedo, and once it is activated, it will follow orders until the clockwork is finished." The greater the output, the faster the clockwork turns, and the more stupid it becomes. Only with a small output can the basic intelligence of executing orders be maintained. The torpedo is at full power from the start, so you can't ask him to hit it or not. ”

"What's that?"

"Haven't you seen it. It is to use phlogiston to accelerate. Time in the core of Vulcan is started by a clockwork, and the faster the clockwork travels, the faster the flow of time, and the force is related to the acceleration. However, when the speed increases, the puppet's ability to deal with problems does not increase with it, so it will not react if it is too fast. In addition, even if the mass-produced goods go fast, they will not be able to drive torpedoes. A weapon-grade Vulcan core worth a cruiser can have this speed and power. It also has the potential to show intelligence. However, "

"But what?"

"But Peaches doesn't have clockwork, and you don't know what Peaches is thinking, and you don't know when Peaches will stop. So it's quite reasonable for the Muse to refuse to use Peaches, and if this thing is hit, it's equivalent to handing over the weapon to 'Peach', so who knows what Peaches is thinking? ”

"I'm feeling more and more terrible." Zhu Xianen, who was sitting in the back, took a sip of tea, "Are you sure you want to introduce such a dangerous thing into the competition between students?" ”

"I feel the need to do so." Shang Luo replied, "They have moved all the torch engines out, and I have to use a little off-site power to do it." ”

"Okay. Okay, can't you guys interview in the pot? ”

"I've had an interview in the pot. I wanted to see if it could work out there - I'd figure it out. ”

"Okay, I'll think about it." Zhu Xianene put down the teacup and began to ponder.

"You're going to experiment with a flying thing, so you can't test it in the open air. If there were any flying torpedoes like that, I'd probably have to see you on the front page of the news tomorrow morning. So if you have to find an underground, the inside of the edict is big enough, but it definitely can't. Ordinary basements are not good either, not big enough. Metro? The subway is still running. Then that's all there is. ”

He picked up a red phone on the table without a dial pad: "Hey, it's me, turn the fifth person there, well, happy holidays, eat and drink well. Old Five, let me ask you a question."

After a minute of conversation, he put down the phone.

"You two, go to the vacant subway under Yuxi Palace. Then do not launch in the direction of the running line, hit inside. I've approved this matter, and you can experiment from now until 6 p.m. ”

"Wait." At this time, Shang Luo was a little hesitant, "This, does it really matter?" Something very important in there? ”

"Don't worry, just play. How can a place that really matters be caused by a small peach of yours. Play as you like. And Miss Apollonia, have some fun. ”

Directly below the Yuxi Palace, the dark subway road has turned on the lights.

"Big brother!" greeted them, and the one sitting at the entrance of the subway station turned out to be Han Xingzhi

"Why are you?"

"My uncle went out. Oh~~ I just called, I heard that you want to add a very powerful thing to the car! ”

"Ah, yes. You're just right here, and technical issues can be discussed. He looked around, but he didn't see the figure of Han Wu looking at the warehouse.

"By the way, what are you doing here?"

"I'm going to play with this." He pointed to the small train next to him, "This tram is so fun." It has the function of a real subway tram, but it is only the size of a family car, so no matter how you drive it, you will not be able to get into trouble. When my uncle says yes, I'll come over and play with this. ”

"Isn't his job to be kept secret?"

"Yes." Han Xingzhi nodded, "But my secrecy level has arrived." ”

"Ah, I'm not surprised. You're a Xuan Xiu, so you do have access to some secrets. That's right, I'll show you the big baby we're going to get on! ”

As he spoke, Shang Luo opened the baggage, reached out from it and pulled out an 8-meter-long torpedo! Slam on the ground with a thud.

This is the unfinished torpedo on the phlogiston submarine Ω 39. Instead of being loaded with a live warhead, the base of the Vulcan core was installed.

"This??? Loading on the ??? ”

Han Xingzhi was stupid. It's a lot more than a car.

"No, no, it's a torpedo after all, and the useless parts will be dismantled when the time comes. Since it's okay, let's play first. ”

He opened his baggage and pulled out another peach.

Following Phaethon's instructions, he manually unlocked the hatch of the pedestal—it was empty. Round, billiard-ball-sized grooves appear in front of you, just enough to fit in a billiard ball, a Vulcan core, or a peach.

He shoved Peach inside, then closed the hatch.

He closed the hatch.

Several people looked at the torpedo.

"And then?" Shang Luo asked Faetong next to him.

"And then. Hey, then what? I really don't know how to start it outside the submarine. ”

"So how do you usually start it?"

"It's all about using the key! This thing doesn't have a keyhole at all, how do I know how to boot it. ”

"Wait." Shang Luo took a step to the side - then opened the baggage again, and reached out from it to pull out a large 8-meter-long torpedo, which slammed into the ground with a clatter.

A hole had been poked in the warhead of this torpedo, and the hatch had been unlocked, which could be opened with an outstretched hand.

A wilted peach lay inside, its skin turned a withered yellow and wrinkled. This is a torpedo that was shot down by Phaethon a few days ago, and it has been activated normally before.

"Ball two, come out." He asked the knowledgeable, "What's the difference between these two peaches?" ”

Ball Two was silent for a while.

Shang Luo could notice that a coolness was extending from the ball, extending to the two peaches.

"I see"

"What do you see?"

"The one on the right that has died is the true spore that has the potential to hatch into a mushroom. The peaches on the left are spores that can't hatch. They appear to have been activated by a command. You can go get a real spore and give me the rest. ”
