Chapter 44 Liquid Metal
Kino strolled in front of the display cabinet and inspected: "I also need a weapon for myself."
Chongqing followed behind, shaking his head and asking: "It's still a cold weapon, right? Sword, gun, stick, axe, spear, crossbow, sword, hammer, stick, claw, sickle, which one do you want?"
Chino "didn't think about it."
In the past, I almost died of anger: "I am really impressed by you Party A. You didn't explain your needs clearly at the beginning, but then you asked me to change them. After the changes were made, I said, 'It seems that the first version is the best'...ahhhhhhh
Ah, I get angry just thinking about it!!! No, no, you have to make it clear, or you won’t do it!”
Kino smiled helplessly: "I really haven't thought about it, so I want to ask you to help me make some suggestions. It is best to use weapons that can adapt to a variety of complex battlefield environments. A single weapon type is too limited."
"Adapting to complex environments...that means you need to be flexible in tactics." Something suddenly came to mind in the past, "Oh, yes, come and take a look at this thing."
She took Chino through the automatic door, passed fingerprint verification, iris verification, entered the 108-bit key with dynamically changing Hilbert matrix and Caesar encryption deviation values, and entered the core research room.
In the sealed cabin in the center of the research room, something caught Kino's attention.
It is a drop of liquid metal floating in the air. It is extremely clear and bright. Its curves are like the ripples of the sea of dreams. The surface that perfectly reflects the surrounding scenery is so pure that it has no flaws. Just looking at it will make you worry whether your sight will be blurred.
Its stain is like tears dripping from the eyes of gods, and any literary language becomes eclipsed in front of it.
Kino's artist cell was quickly attracted to it and couldn't take his eyes off it: "What is this?"
"It's nothing," Qiu Xiang looked at it, a mysterious smile appeared on his face, "It can be anything."
"What's the meaning?"
"This is a free substance. If you have learned a lot of chemical knowledge, you should know that there is an interaction between adjacent atoms or ions collectively called a 'chemical bond', such as ionic bonds, covalent bonds, metallic bonds, etc.
Etc. These chemical bonds connect atoms, combining different atoms with different bonds to form matter and our world. The liquid substance in front of you has broken the chemical bonds between atoms, but has not yet restructured them.
The free state of matter—the free state that can exist stably!”
Kino's pupils began to dilate: "You mean, it can turn into any substance?"
"Yes, as long as the data is fixed, it can be turned into any substance, such as gold." Chao Xiang said here and added, "But turning it into gold is not worth the gain, because the materials and energy consumed to create this free substance are worth
Much more than gold itself.”
"But if it can be converted into substances such as uranium, plutonium, deuterium and tritium, it will be a revolution in the history of science and technology."
"This is true in theory, but not in practice, because not all substances can be transformed into this free state. It requires a transuranic element with an atomic number greater than 92 as a material. This transuranic element itself is extremely expensive, and it is used to decompose it into a free state.
It is not worth the gain to convert matter into atomic energy industrial materials, just like no one would exchange a pound of gold for a pound of iron."
“What is its current area of utility?”
"For the time being, it is just a huge breakthrough in technology, and the industry has not yet found a suitable practical field."
“Will it help my needs?”
"You want a weapon that can face complex battlefield environments, so I have an idea. Since it can be turned into any substance, I can try to deduce a data and turn it into a quark state strong interaction material.
Moreover, this transformation is reversible, and it can change back to the free state at any time, or into other substances. Just imagine, it can be a table, a tree, or a coin in your hand. Once it encounters an enemy, it can instantly
It becomes a strong interaction weapon. This kind of adaptability is most suitable for complex battlefields."
"With today's technology, is it possible to make materials with strong interaction force?"
"Not currently. There are still large gaps in the field of microphysics, which means that I need a long research experiment, and I must concentrate on this project without being distracted."
Kino understood the meaning: "You can make an offer."
Qi Qi smiled evilly and kept rubbing his hands: "You are my VIP customer, I will give you a discount, 987654721033."
Kino was stunned: "Are you treating me like a pig?"
Qi Xiang quibbled: "What is this? It's just the price of 100 figures! You can't afford this little money, and you still say that you have been to the second dimension?"
Kino was a little helpless: "I owe it first and pay it in installments."
More than 980 billion. Even if 1 point of respect can be exchanged for 100,000 in previous life money, it will still be 9.8 million points of respect. I don’t know how long it will take to save.
Fortunately, the two of them were very familiar with each other, and she had previously expressed that she would accept installment payment, and she would immediately start researching it.
"By the way." Xiang Xiang thought of something, "Materials in the two worlds cannot be exchanged. Can I only use the materials you provide?"
"Yes." Chino entered the respect system to search and found the free substance mentioned in the past, which requires 10 respect points per gram. Calculated, the unit price is more expensive than atomic energy materials.
Kino pointed to the sealed cabin: "Can this container hold more free substances?"
"It's possible, but it's best to open a new cabin to avoid being mixed with the original one." Xi walked to the compartment, opened a brand new sealed cabin, and motioned for Chino to put it inside.
Kino previously used 200 respect points to exchange for cash, and now has 224 respect points left. He exchanged them for 22 grams of free substances and sent them directly into the new sealed cabin.
In the past, I witnessed a scene where matter appeared out of thin air, and I couldn't take my eyes off it and asked: "These matter are originally in your space ring?"
Kino shook his head.
In the past: "Do you have a way to exchange the material you want out of thin air at a certain price?"
Kino was silent.
Seeing that Chino remained silent, he changed the subject: "I will start research as soon as possible. Once the strong interaction material is successfully developed, I assure you that no matter what weird power there is in your world, nothing can break it down.
."
Chino added: "But total mass is an issue."
I used to check the data of the new sealed cabin: "Yes, there are gaps in the microphysical theory, which means that there will be many failed experiments and a large amount of free raw materials will be consumed. The free substances you obtained are 22 grams, and the tentative utilization rate is
1% means that the mass of the first version of the strong interaction weapon is 0.22 grams, which is about the same as a needle."
Chino hummed: "It doesn't matter, you first get the model and data, I will provide you with the materials as much as possible, and it will become bigger and bigger."
The fire ignited in the eyes of the past, which was a kind of pursuit and enthusiasm for knowledge: "I can't even imagine how terrifying it would become if the total mass of the strong interaction weapon reached the ton level."
Such a past made Chino smile. He glanced at the countdown and said, "There are still 20 minutes before I leave."
"Are you in such a hurry?" Qi Xiang shook his head and said, "What do you want to do in the last 20 minutes of this world?"
Kino: "Come with me to watch the sunrise."
...
The cold night is passing away, dawn is approaching, and everything is immersed in haze.
The two came to the surface through the elevator and had a glimpse of the city dotted with twilight. The rising sun was breaking through the vast night. The darkness of the sky was like ink dripping into the water, slowly disappearing in the layered halo. The hazy scenery was full of mystery and also brought a sense of mystery. The unique tranquility before dawn soothes the restless heart and makes people immersed in it.
Kino leaned on the sloping railing, and the morning breeze blew his delicate hair, hitting his cheeks as delicate as cream, showing a lovely red color like apples. He had the same smile on his face, and his amber eyes stared into the distance. The bright sky and the rising sun are reflected in the pupils, as if there is backlight flowing.
At this time, I was hanging upside down on the railing like a kid, and asked lazily: "Nobao, will you feel lonely if you go to another world alone?"
Kino stretched out his hand in front of his face, rubbing his fingers gently, as if to crush the sunshine on his fingertips: "I don't know what loneliness is, and I can't understand it."
"That's right, you are a processor who is born without the ability to empathize. As for me, I am just an android created by humans for the sake of science. Everything in my mind is set. My personality, tone of voice, and anthropomorphic emotions are all just Data, so I won’t be lonely, and I can’t understand what loneliness is.” He put his fingers on the corners of his lips and raised them up, saying with a playful smile, “We are all monsters~”
Kino looked towards the past, with the sunset reflected in his eyes: "Close your eyes."
"Are you leaving?" Xiang closed his eyes and waved his hand carelessly, "Bye~"
Suddenly, she had only felt the breeze blowing in the past. She subconsciously opened her eyes and saw only the empty sloping fence.
