Chapter 138 Red Matter
Under our command, the rubble clearing work was completed quickly. After all, our guild has a lot of engineering personnel, and this is our base camp, so the work is naturally fast. While everyone was cleaning up the ruins and repairing the buildings, I had already signed the final agreement with Ashford and the Gunslinger. However, the Gunslinger and Ashford were gone, and I couldn't take any time off.
"Is there a backup of the drawings?" In a newly built experimental field in the desert near Steel City, I took a crystal communication machine to communicate with the God of War, and a large group of researchers stood beside me.
"The drawings have been backed up, and I also recorded the data during the experiment."
"Then send the data over here right away. I want to see what exactly blew up my Magic Crystal Power Research Institute like that."
"OK."
Through the large crystal communicator, we quickly received various data from the God of War. As soon as the researchers around me got the data, they immediately started to spread out to do their own work, while the huge crystal screen on the other side of the wall showed that more people were analyzing the data.
In fact, the place I am currently in is not a laboratory. Strictly speaking, it should be called an experimental field. The mysterious substance almost wiped out the entire Magic Crystal Power Research Institute before. I don't want that to happen again, so I used this place to conduct experiments. Now this place is a place specially built by our guild for the research of particularly dangerous substances. There are large energy restrainers under the ground and above the head here, which can suppress the explosive energy. Although the bombed Magic Crystal Power Research Institute also had this kind of equipment, it was a medium-sized one with not very strong suppressing power. However, the one installed here is a super-large one, and there are two upper and lower ones. The suppressing power is greater than that of the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute. That set of equipment is dozens of times more powerful. In addition, we have specially reduced the production volume for safety reasons. Last time, we only synthesized one drop and destroyed half of the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute. This time we plan to synthesize only 0.1 gram, so even if it explodes, it shouldn't have much power. And even if it does explode, we are not afraid, because in addition to cheap and simple remote-controlled golems working here, they are also players' trumpets. Simple remote-controlled golems are very cheap to make. Since experiments do not require strong athletic ability, the cost is naturally easy to control. And those players' trumpets are only level 20, so they are not afraid of death at all. As for me, although I was also at the scene, with my defense, as long as I was fully armed, the explosive force could not hurt me.
Under the careful operation of a group of experimenters, the substance was quickly extracted. In fact, according to the conclusion drawn from our analysis of the data, the machine recorded on the drawings produces basically magic crystal vapor, but something even more terrifying - concentrated liquid magic crystal. Finally, we used laboratory methods to experimentally produce some finished products according to the production principle of that machine. However, it can only be seen with a magnifying glass. After all, this thing will explode. If we do too much, we are afraid of destroying the experiment. The room exploded.
"Is this that thing?" I asked, looking at the crystal bottle that the experimenter was holding carefully.
"That's right, President, this is it." The experimenter said excitedly: "We just tested it, and the energy density of this material may have reached the energy level of the colorful magic crystal. In addition to not being able to charge energy repeatedly, In addition to automatically restoring energy, it is almost a colorful magic crystal in a 'liquid' state."
"So awesome?"
The experimenter continued excitedly: "Of course, in order to synthesize this small amount of white magic crystal, we have consumed nearly a hundred times the volume of white magic crystal! But if we can really produce 'liquid' colorful magic crystal on a large scale, even if It’s worth consuming a thousand times the white magic crystal.”
I nodded to express my understanding. After all, the value of the colorful magic crystal is too high. If the white magic crystal can be exchanged for the colorful magic crystal, even a hundred to one ratio is extremely cost-effective. "By the way, that thing exploded as soon as it was synthesized in Essinger. Is it okay if you just put it in a bottle like this?"
When he heard what I said, the experimenter immediately showed off with a proud look on his face: "President, don't underestimate this bottle. This is my proud invention. There is a suspension magic circle under the bottle, and the substances in it are suspended on the body of the bottle. The center of the bottle does not touch the bottle. Even the most unstable substance cannot react with the bottle if it does not touch the bottle. In addition, I also added a gas repelling magic array at the mouth of the bottle, so the inside of the bottle is actually It is vacuum, which can also eliminate the possibility of reaction between the gas and the contents. Also, this bottle can actually change color. When necessary, it can be completely turned into an opaque state, so that it can be used To hold some substances that are easily decomposed by light. Hey, how about it? Isn’t this small bottle I designed great? "
"Yes, it is quite useful. But why did the material inside explode last time?"
"This is not yet clear. We have only done a few experiments to see if this container can prevent it from exploding. Now that it is confirmed to be safe, we plan to produce more and then conduct various experiments to see how it works. What is the nature of this species?"
"Okay, you guys start right away."
At my urging, everyone immediately started to get busy, and the personnel in the remote monitoring center were also busy doing data calculations. Although they could not go to the scene to operate, the operation could actually be done by one or two people. Enough, they can also participate in experiments while calculating data at the rear.
After more than half an hour of busy work, we produced several kilograms of the substance, enough to fill a two-liter Coke bottle if put into a bottle. After having these materials, we began to conduct the qualitative test.
Several remote control puppets launched a device that looked a bit like a large hair dryer. According to the experimenter next to it, it was an atomizing device that could atomize liquid substances into extremely tiny particles and spray them. Go out, and it can accurately control the degree of atomization and spray speed. Originally, this kind of thing was used to experiment with the optimal combustion value of liquid combustion materials. However, because this unnamed substance itself is extremely unstable, this thing can only be used. After all, what it is best at is blowing out high-explosive materials without hurting itself.
For safety reasons, we finally moved the equipment to a place like a wind tunnel before starting the experiment. Several remote-controlled golems carefully connected the crystal bottle to the raw material port of the equipment under the control of the researcher. According to the experimenter's explanation, the atomizing spray equipment is matched with the bottle, so the substances in the bottle will not come into contact with air or the like, and will only be sucked into the atomizing equipment by the magic array in the vacuum environment and It is atomized, and it will never come into contact with any substance before it is sprayed out of the atomization port. This ensures that even highly corrosive substances can be easily atomized.
After the connection was completed, we immediately hid in a defensive magic circle before we dared to activate the atomizing spray equipment. Judging from the previous explosions, that kind of thing should explode as soon as it comes into contact with the air, so I estimate that what will be sprayed out after atomization will not be a mist-like smoke cloud, but a huge pillar of fire. But even though we were mentally prepared, we were still shocked when the thing actually sprayed out. There was a sudden loud bang from the nozzle of the atomizer injector, and a huge pillar of fire nearly a hundred meters long was sprayed out. The reason why the pillar of fire only lasted so long was not because it was not powerful enough, but Because the wind tunnel is only so long, there is a big fan at the other end, which blocks the flames. But compared to this nearly 100-meter-long pillar of fire, what was even more astonishing was the other side. The injector was originally fixed on the ground, but who knew that as soon as it was started, it easily broke the eight steel rods that fixed it and flew forward like a missile, and then hit the other end of the wind tunnel. There was a big explosion on the fan.
"Holy shit!" The researcher who had previously sworn how safe this device was was instantly dumbfounded. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly crushed a remote control crystal. Then he saw a large amount of light was injected into the channel instantly. The blue low-temperature gas froze the entire channel into a large ice mass within a few seconds, and the equipment finally stopped.
Seeing that the researcher was about to criticize himself, I quickly stopped him. "Now I just want to hear the research report, you'd better get that thing out quickly!"
After more than half an hour of work, the frozen wind tunnel was finally thawed again, and we took out the bottle of special substance. This time I was relatively lucky, or the researcher's previous boast was not too false. Although his ejector did not really guarantee 100% safety, it 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 breaks and the unknown substances inside flow out, it will be a lot of fun.
Because of this accident, we finally had to use many small bottles to disperse the contents of the bottles, otherwise we would not be able to afford it if another accident happened. Since the previous experiments were too dangerous, all subsequent experiments were switched to ultra-micro-volume experiments. Although it was more difficult to collect data, it was still 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 similar to the super explosives in a movie It's very similar, so we named it after the name in that movie - The Red Matter.
