Chapter 378: Chapter 375 Star Destroyer
Blue Star.
South Heavenly Gate Project Group.
Xie Yusheng was in his office, enjoying a top-of-the-line computer, busy with "Southern Heavenly Gate Chronicles" data adjustments.
Indeed.
After several years of effort, the "Southern Heavenly Gate Chronicles," into which he had poured a great deal of effort, had completed the production of its first expansion pack. It was just waiting for the project’s restrictions to be lifted to release it, which would undoubtedly spark a frenzy of pursuit.
He was confident that, by then, Southern Heavenly Gate Chronicles would become the most outstanding game in the sci-fi category.
"No! Not enough! Some weapons in the Southern Heavenly Gate Chronicles are too weak, like the top-tier warship ’Taihu Light,’ which uses only nuclear fusion engines, anti-gravity technology, repulsion shields, laser cannons, electromagnetic cannons, etc. While this warship can be called epoch-making compared to those currently on the market, the idea of using a single warship to dominate the globe is still far off. At the very least, if we were to conduct a saturation bombing with super-hydrogen bombs, the repulsion shield could not withstand it."
Xie Yusheng shifted his gaze to another folder.
There...
was a war weapon that modern technology could not possibly achieve within a hundred years.
Or rather, a super-large mecha.
The essence of the repulsion shield is a force field.
Even on Blue Star, there is a saying that no other forces exist, only gravity and repulsion.
The rest, like strong force, weak force, and universal gravitation, are merely different manifestations of repulsion and gravity under different conditions.
Now that the repulsion shield had been developed, it could be further extended...
Ultimately, repulsion could evolve into weak force.
This weak force is different from the conventional sense of weak force; strictly speaking, it pertains to the force of material decay.
Or the force of antimatter.
Any diminishing matter or energy could be included in this category.
With this foundation, by inversely using the repulsion shield, a pure material aggregation force different from strong force could be derived.
As for how to achieve it?
Does it completely comply with scientific principles?
Who could prove his speculation wrong?
Even if it were proven that his speculation was indeed wrong...
Sorry, he was just making games, he doesn’t need to be that precise.
Having a plausible theory to support it was enough.
"By using a special gravity field to reduce the distance between atoms, thereby enhancing the strength of the material, creating a material akin to overcoming strong force..."
Xie Yusheng continued entering data. "My goal is to create a mecha that can directly withstand a high-yield hydrogen bomb!"
The material used by this mecha needed to surpass any substance on Blue Star; moreover, although its engine was provisionally a nuclear fusion engine, given enough time, it could increase its speed to one-tenth the speed of light.
Its ultimate form would be to use its terrifying material as a weapon, striking the target at one-tenth the speed of light, or 30,000 kilometers per second.
That kind of power...
Xie Yusheng glanced at the name of this folder.
Star Destroyer!
The name of the folder was also the name of this mecha.
"It needs to be done step by step. First, let’s start with neutron material..."
Xie Yusheng wrote down.
Why neutron material?
Protons are influenced by strong nuclear forces and like-charged repulsion. Neutrons carry no charge but participate in the strong interaction overlay.
However, this overlay is affected by electromagnetic repulsion, becoming highly unstable when in large quantities.
Eventually becoming a neutron-rich nucleus?
But then, neutron decay would occur, transforming into a proton, while also releasing an electron and an anti-neutrino.
"It’s challenging; I need to precisely edit the arrangement of protons and neutrons in the nucleus, then overcome the electromagnetic repulsion, but today’s technology has reached its limit in manipulating atoms..."
Xie Yusheng wrote this and furrowed his brows.
However, he quickly skipped over this part: "I’m making games, not conducting scientific research. What if I assume that this material can be made after all."
Now, onto the second step.
Power.
"In martial arts, no defense is impregnable against speed; for men, speed is the only criterion."
Xie Yusheng plunged back into thought.
How to achieve light-speed flight at one-tenth the speed in a plausible...
a plausible-looking manner?
...
Xie Yusheng was eagerly manufacturing pseudo-scientific high-tech mechas in his room.
Meanwhile, in the communication room a few rooms away.
Zhao Qilin waved his hand vigorously: "Success!"
He turned his head, looking at Lan Yuntian, Bai Xiangyang, Li Xingzhou, and others in the communication room, who were ready to help him handle any variables and other demands from "Qian Star people," and exclaimed, "It’s been transmitted, the latest electromagnetic cannon and related technology!"
He couldn’t quite contain his joy: "The fact proves that my demands, and those of the former communications officer, were indistinguishable to that ’Qian Star person.’ This successful ’trade’ is the best proof."
Lan Yuntian, Bai Xiangyang, and Li Xingzhou exchanged glances and nodded.
Lan Yuntian even said with a smile, "Professional matters should be left to professionals. I believe that Zhao Qilin, who has received good education in this area, can handle this matter better, and indeed it has proven to be true."
His words went unchallenged by Bai Xiangyang and Li Xingzhou.
Specialization?
Other tasks are handled by other people.
Even, each time they reply to the sociology department, experts scrutinize and analyze each word to see if any statements might upset this Qian Star man and disrupt the communication?
In such cases, what need is there for specialization?
Any person could fill this position.
"This friend’s requests, as you might have seen, includes the need for detailed information about controlled nuclear fusion,"
Zhao Qilin quickly adapted to the situation.
"Detailed information..."
The others exchanged glances.
"We’ve only just mastered the technology of controlled nuclear fusion, to produce detailed information about it..."
Li Xingzhou frowned.
"No matter."
Zhao Qilin said, "As you have all seen from our continuous exchanges, the directions of our technologies are indeed quite different. We can completely hand over some technologies that are still in the theoretical stage but not yet realized, and use quantity to replace quality. Moreover, we must make it clear, as we do not know to what extent the detailed information he needs, we can only provide some."
With that, he smiled and said, "If things go smoothly, when we request data feedback from him in the future, it will allow us to advance further in the path of controlled nuclear fusion, decisively leaving other countries far behind."
"This approach sounds good, and I believe our friend from Qian Star will understand our position,"
Lan Yuntian nodded, smiling as he turned to the sociologist Qiu Yuyu on the side, "I entrust Group Leader Qiu to carefully assess the feasibility of this method and the exact wording for the next exchange."
"Okay."
Qiu Yuyu nodded.
Next, Lan Yuntian began assigning tasks.
During this, Bai Xiangyang once again glanced towards the room where Xie Yusheng was.
He even felt some sympathy for him.
Now that everyone else had replaced his only function, what value did he have left in this promising department of the South Heavenly Gate project?
Being marginalized was his only outcome now.
...
Qiushan Cave.
"It’s open."
Gu Jinlai looked at the ripple spreading outward, feeling slightly regretful.
The transmission of information was very slow, and it would take eight or nine days for the data on repulsion shields and laser cannons to be transmitted, but the Qiushan Rift had opened first.
However, even if he did receive the information about repulsion shields and laser cannons, the time Gu Jinlai would need to understand, internalize, and create a model would still prevent him from making it before the opening of the Qiushan Rift.
"Lord Zhou, Heavenly Lord Zhang, and I will enter the Demon Realm directly, while the rest of you stay outside just in case,"
Gu Jinlai said, glancing at Zhang Yukan, Si Tianyan, Guan Xingyun, Xiang Fengyun, and others.
The entry of the Great Heavenly Master into the Demon Realm...
Was still a bit forced.
"The Qiushan Rift won’t remain open long, and since it’s a small rift, the amount of Demon Spirits coming through shouldn’t be too substantial. But once we enter the Demon Realm, anything can happen, so we should still be cautious,"
Zhou Yi said gravely.
Gu Jinlai nodded.
During this period, he had reviewed a plethora of texts from the Xuanji Sect and the Daqian Royal Family, all of which vehemently depicted the perils of the Demon Realm.
However, his half-month scenario of having the Demon God Guards sweep the Eastern Sea and eradicate those who committed all atrocious acts on the sea had allowed him to accumulate thirteen stripes of Qingguang.
With these thirteen stripes of Qingguang, even if he encountered Spirit Venerable Level Demon Spirits, he could still defend against them somewhat.
In comparison to Catastrophic-level Demon Spirits, Spirit Venerable...
Was significantly stronger.
It’s important to note, the core used in crafting the forbidden creature—the Ruins Beast—was the Demon Soul Crystal left behind after the fall of a Spirit Venerable.
The connection with the Ruins Beast alone indicated the strength of a Spirit Venerable.
As Gu Jinlai and the others patiently awaited, the Demon Realm Rift that had expanded near to ten meters opened swiftly.
The moment the Demon Realm Rift opened, Gu Jinlai didn’t even check what kind of Demon Spirits were rushing out. He immediately deployed the Soul Secret Technique—Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique.
Suddenly, a medium-sized Demon Spirit that had surged forward as the vanguard hadn’t even had a chance to see the environment outside before it was burned to ashes by the radiance of the Great Sun Eternal Radiance.
The once powerful medium-sized Demon Spirit from the first opening of the Qiushan Rift had now become mere cannon fodder, unable to survive more than a second.
In its terrified scream, Zhang Yukan, Si Tianyan, and others went forward smoothly to refine and extract the spirit escaped from the Demon Spirit, infusing a model of the Mystic Bird Fighting Machine.
Meanwhile, Gu Jinlai, bathed in the radiance of the Great Sun Eternal Radiance Technique, took a step forward, leading Zhou Yi and Zhang Lihuo into the Demon Realm Rift.
Accompanied by a familiar sensation of weightlessness, the lights and shadows around them shifted from clarity to a blur then back to clarity.
After a series of environmental changes, the three of them were standing on the soil of the Demon Realm.
"The Demon Realm."
Zhou Yi felt a bit emotional, "I never thought I would set foot in this world during my lifetime."
"The Qiushan Demon Realm Rift is open for a limited time. Let’s speed up, hunt Demon Spirits, extract spirit, and repair the Cheng Ying Mecha,"
Gu Jinlai said, quickly taking out the Cheng Ying Mecha that had been stored in the Qiankun Ring.
Then his gaze swept around...
Seeing the not-so-small number of invaders, but with only about a dozen large Demon Spirits and not a single Catastrophic-level Demon Spirit.
"Is this all?"
