Chapter 213: The Indestructible Ox and the Unbreakable Land!
Gu Fan sized up the two men for a while before flashing a "nuclear good" smile and saying:
"Very good, I can see that both of you have adapted quite well to life at our base. I believe you're satisfied with it, right?"
"Satisfied, satisfied!"
"Boss, don't say it like that. We’re alive today all thanks to your care!"
The two immediately smiled brightly, almost kneeling down to lick Gu Fan's shoes.
At that moment, Gu Fan nodded, then looked at them and said:
"Since I’ve been taking care of you two, doesn’t it seem like it’s time for you to make a contribution?"
Upon hearing this, both men’s hearts skipped a beat. Although they didn’t know exactly what Gu Fan was planning, the words had a very ominous tone.
However, Gu Fan just sat there with a smile on his face, so they didn’t dare to refuse.
They could only keep nodding and saying:
"Boss, feel free to give orders. Whatever we can help with, we’ll definitely make a contribution!"
"Good! I remember one of you is in the field of physics and the other in chemistry. I previously asked if you knew how to make nuclear bombs. I remember you said it wasn’t hard, just that the raw material, uranium, is hard to get?"
When they heard the mention of nuclear bombs, their faces turned pale.
Nuclear weapons were no joke. On one hand, they didn’t want to destroy the last hope for humanity with nuclear research. On the other hand, conducting nuclear research in such a primitive environment would definitely expose them to radiation.
Gu Fan saw that the two of them exchanged glances and didn’t speak, his expression darkened as he laughed sinisterly:
"Looks like you two are hiding something?"
Seeing Gu Fan’s smile, the two of them immediately stopped hesitating and quickly said:
"Boss, don’t worry! It is possible… it’s just that without professional anti-radiation suits, we might not even succeed before the radiation kills us all."
Gu Fan stroked his chin, then smiled:
"I don’t know much about the principles of nuclear weapons, but what I want to create isn’t just an ordinary nuclear weapon, understand?"
After saying that, Gu Fan stretched out his fingers on both hands. On the left, there was a gray hue, and on the right, a golden one.
Two energy balls of different colors appeared!
They weren’t large, each only about the size of a sesame seed.
Gu Fan then slowly brought the two forces into contact.
In the next moment, a terrifyingly violent energy swept through the entire room, and all the glass in the building was shattered.
The sudden and overwhelming power instantly stunned everyone present.
Although they had witnessed Gu Fan’s strength before and knew how powerful he was, every time they saw it firsthand, it was still immensely shocking!
Once Gu Fan withdrew the two forces, the chaotic energy in the room instantly dissipated.
There was no Tai Chi Fish from the Qi Sea to balance it, no Killing Aura acting as the fish’s eye for equilibrium.
Even after meeting in the outside world, the two forces remained as volatile as ever.
"Now that you’ve seen these two energies, do you have any thoughts?"
At this moment, the expert from the field of physics immediately brightened up and said:
"Boss, are you trying to create an alternative nuclear bomb with these two energies?"
Gu Fan snapped his fingers and smiled:
"I don’t fully understand the principles behind it, so I’d like to hear your thoughts."
When it came to their professional field, the physics expert became notably confident and professional.
"The essence of nuclear weapons is to use uranium-235 or plutonium-239, which are heavy atomic nuclei, to trigger a fission reaction that releases an enormous amount of energy instantaneously. In theory, if we had energy that could match the explosive power of these two substances, it could indeed replace them."
"However, nuclear fission reactions are extremely rapid, occurring at a microscopic speed. As a result, the area around the nuclear explosion reaches incredibly high temperatures, rapidly heating and compressing the surrounding air, causing it to expand quickly and generate high-pressure shockwaves. Nuclear explosions on the ground and in the air also form fireballs in the surrounding air, which in this case..."
He looked toward Gu Fan’s hands. The two energies had reacted intensely just now, and the reaction speed was also very rapid, but without instruments, he couldn’t confirm just how fast it was.
At this moment, Gu Fan said:
"Don't worry about the speed. As for the energy released upon the contact of the two energy spheres, it will definitely be terrifying."
No one doubted this. Even a sesame-sized energy ball could produce such a terrifying force with just a slight contact.
If a full collision occurred...
It was likely that this hospital would be leveled to the ground!
Thinking of this, the physics expert and the other expert exchanged glances and nodded.
"Perhaps we can give it a try!"
Gu Fan laughed heartily.
"Good! I’ll be in the base for this period, and if you need energy experiments, you can always find me. I need you two to produce the real thing as soon as possible!"
"Anything you need, feel free to come to me. I'll help you figure it out, whether it's machine tools, molds, or whatever!"
The two immediately nodded.
"We’ll make a list in a moment."
After assigning their tasks, Gu Fan was responsible for going out to gather materials and instruments, while the two researchers stayed inside the base to brainstorm. After all, this cultivation power could be used as raw material for weapons.
Many of the complex steps could be skipped, returning to the essence of violent aesthetics.
They also realized a problem. Could a weapon made with these two energies even be called a nuclear weapon?
It seemed there was no nuclear reaction involved...
Half a day later, with Gu Fan’s speed, he quickly gathered a large amount of materials.
Thanks to the two providing clues, they had an idea of where to find the things they needed.
Soon, the two became busy with their work. They knew that in order to survive long-term within the base, they needed to prove their worth.
Now that Gu Fan had given them the opportunity, as long as they seized this chance...
They wouldn’t have to worry about food and drink, and even some excessive requests could probably be fulfilled!
Meanwhile, Gu Fan kept his promise and stayed within the base, spending his time near the Blood Pool, accompanying the Evil Lotus while cultivating.
He absorbed the Dao rhythm of the Evil Lotus, enhancing his Divine Soul and cultivation.
At night, he would go to Xia Yan’s room to diligently study. As a good teacher, Xia Yan patiently taught him again and again, from the bed to every corner of the room.
The traces of their hard work were everywhere, which led to, five days later, Gu Fan still being full of energy with his robust physique.
On the other hand, Xia Yan was already exhausted to the point of weakness, needing Chi Youyou to bring her food and dishes, as she was too tired to get out of bed.
After the battle that night, Xia Yan gathered the courage to speak:
"Boss, how about we rest for two days..."
Gu Fan, upon hearing this, gave a sinister smile.
"I remember you were complaining that I don’t come back often enough and don’t have time to be with you?"
"Boss, you misunderstood. Actually, I was joking the other day. Cultivators must endure loneliness. You don’t have to come back often to accompany me... I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it..."
"Besides, now that you are with me, it feels like my time is disappearing. Every day, I’m either doing this or that... I don't have any private time."
"Haha, is that so, Xia Yan?"
Gu Fan laughed loudly, teasing her.
For these past few days, he had been following up on the progress of the weapon research. The two had indeed proven their skills, and the plan was set—now they just needed to produce the actual weapons.
This made Gu Fan in a very good mood, and he suddenly felt like teasing her.
Unexpectedly, seeing Gu Fan laugh mockingly in such a pompous manner, Xia Yan didn’t know where her anger came from. She flipped over and pinned Gu Fan down.
"Alright, alright, boss! I don’t believe it! Can there really be an ox that can’t be exhausted or land that can’t be cultivated?!"
With that, the battle resumed...
