You Say You Believe in Science, But You Fly on a Sword - Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Disintegration Weapon

It was the familiar dark and windy night, the familiar Two Hundred Cultivator Army, Two Hundred Mech Troops, Five Thousand Regular Troops, and the familiar Ghost Race Camp.

The difference was that now the Northern War Zone and Southern War Zone were attacking.

Taking advantage of the night, the armies on both sides quietly crossed the borderline and opened fire on the Ghost Race.

For a moment, rain of bullets, flying sand and stone, and thunder and fire filled the land, illuminating the mountains and rivers of the north and south.

The Ghost Race Soldiers hadn’t even reacted before they were routed by the Chinese Army. Added to Xie Yingqing’s previously planted Zhenlong Seal, they were quickly completely annihilated, becoming free mercenaries for China.

In one fell swoop, Huaxia Territory expanded significantly. Including the territory expanded in the west, Huaxia’s land area has actually exceeded eleven million square kilometers.

Of course, these military achievements were not publicized. Not to mention foreign countries, even within China, only the combat personnel knew about it; even ordinary people were in the dark.

For the next month, the Western Theater Command continued to wage war, expand its area, and incorporate the Ghost Race. Even the people from the Central War Zone were envious and sent some people to join the fun. Through their own efforts, they managed to avoid watching the entire show.

However, with the increase of the Ghost Race Army, the following battles were mainly led by the Ghost Race Army. The military usually only symbolically sent a bunch of people to watch, just to make a show.

With the Ghost Race as the main force, even if they died, they weren’t their own people, so there was nothing to feel sorry for, and there was no need to accept any inhumane torture.

…

At Nine Heavens, the conference room was once again filled with people.

All members of the Nine Heavens Research Group were present, without a single absence.

This was a rule set by Su Qin’an: In order to enhance innovation and brainstorm, anyone with new ideas could propose them immediately, followed by a general meeting to discuss feasibility, fill gaps, and improve them.

Researchers would often have brilliant ideas, but because they were often too unrealistic, they were often rejected. Now that Su Qin’an allowed them to propose freely, they felt like they had experienced a liberation of thought, and various ideas sprouted like mushrooms after the rain, all being put forward.

This caused Nine Heavens to hold a meeting almost every week.

However, the results were quite good.

The suggestions put forward included, but were not limited to, artificial intelligence, bioweapons, food modification, and aircraft carriers, and the development of China’s scientific research community was also very rapid.

Because Nine Heavens had limited manpower, Su Qin’an entrusted projects outside their research scope to Liu Qiming, asking him to find people in China to do them. For a time, the Chinese scientific research community was flourishing. Basically, every normal laboratory with some strength was assigned tasks by the Ministry of Science and Technology.

Everyone in this meeting attached great importance to it.

Because…

“Qin’an, you called for this meeting, do you have any new ideas? ”

Li Weimin asked: “Is it about the railgun? ”

Su Qin’an shook his head: “No, this idea is about a new weapon, and it’s… quite unique, but I think it’s feasible. ”

He then opened the large screen and projected his computer onto it: “This concept starts with a very simple fact. ”

After everyone’s appetite was whetted, and they were all staring at the big screen, Su Qin’an said: “As we all know, matter is composed of molecules, and there are gaps between molecules, there is gravity, repulsive force, and various forces. These forces are presented in the form of chemical bonds, so that the molecules reach a stable state, and thus the matter remains stable and does not collapse. ”

“If we can use some methods to destroy the balance between molecules, can we achieve a goal that makes matter no longer stable and easy to react, turning into something else? ”

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in astonishment.

Su Qin’an spoke in plain and simple terms, understandable to anyone with a little background in chemistry. However…

The state of a general molecule is called the ground state, which means that it does not easily react with other substances and is relatively stable.

The “destruction of intermolecular balance” Su Qin’an mentioned is to use certain methods to convert the molecular state into an excited state, a state that easily reacts with other substances.

And the common methods used are to make molecules lose or gain electrons and become ions.

The reason why everyone looked at each other was: What was Su Qin’an trying to do? Didn’t he say he wasn’t going to do human engineering and genetic modification? Why did he come up with a new modification method?

Without noticing everyone’s expressions, Su Qin’an said to himself: “On this basis, let’s evolve it further. Objects are composed of molecules, molecules are composed of atoms and ions, and ions are atoms that have lost charge. So we can say that the origin of all matter is atoms. The so-called molecules and ions are merely atoms, in various forms, either changing themselves or changing in groups, presenting an upgraded version. ”

Su Qin’an smiled and turned his gaze to everyone: “Then, if we can use methods to cause these ‘advanced molecules’ composed of atoms to disintegrate and return to their original atomic state, wouldn’t this substance completely vanish? ”

“Let’s evolve it further. If we break down the atoms into more primitive protons and neutrons, wouldn’t it be destroyed beyond recognition? ”

“Furthermore, if we change the target from objects to… people, can we directly eliminate a person? ”

“I’ll temporarily call this weapon a disintegration weapon. ”

“Hiss! ”

After listening to Su Qin’an’s introduction, everyone gasped.

Ruthless! Too ruthless!

When killed by guns and cannons, there would at least be a corpse, which could be buried and a monument erected, allowing future generations to identify it as “Hero So-and-so”.

But if Su Qin’an’s idea were implemented, it would mean that there would be no remains left!

And according to Su Qin’an’s introduction, the human body would be directly decomposed into tiny protons and neutrons, disappearing into space, with no way to stop it.

Therefore, when facing this weapon, it’s highly likely that after being hit, you wouldn’t feel any pain, and just as you think your opponent has missed and are about to taunt them, you suddenly find that your body is beginning to decompose, and it’s irreversible.

And this decomposition is most likely painless.

That’s especially ruthless.

The Daojian Sect Secret Scroll also records similar arcane arts that can directly eliminate a person from space, without feeling any pain at all, just like the legendary Samadhi True Fire.

“This… seems feasible. ”

After a long time, Li Weimin said: “But it’s probably not feasible in the near future; it’s too advanced. ”

How long is this “near future,” thirty years or fifty years?

Nobody knows.

But it is indeed very advanced.

“It’s okay, if it’s not feasible in the short term, let’s put it aside for now, it will eventually be feasible! ”

Sun Ruilei said: “But Team Leader, I still have some questions about the disintegration weapon you just mentioned. ”

“Okay, let’s discuss it first…”
