Chapter 214: The Power of the Cultivation 'Nuclear Bomb'
In the blink of an eye, five days had passed. Gu Fan received a message from his subordinates, informing him that the two researchers had made progress and hoped he could come over to take a look.
Upon hearing the news, Gu Fan's eyes flickered with a glimmer of excitement.
"Ten days' time. Two days have already passed in the cultivation world. I didn't expect the speed to be this fast!"
After speaking, he quickly made his way to the temporary laboratory set up for the two.
As soon as he entered, the two of them hurried over with excitement.
"Boss, we've got preliminary results, but now we need your assistance for the testing!"
Gu Fan, in a good mood, was very satisfied with the immersion and focus the two had shown in their work.
With a smile, he said, "Not bad, not bad. Is this how we’re going to collaborate?"
"It’s very simple, Boss!"
The man from the field of physics then took out an elliptical-shaped sphere, about the size of a basketball.
He pointed to two special contact points on the sphere and said, "After several days of research, we discovered that most metals and conductive materials in this world cannot connect to the two types of energy you provided. Our research had been stalled here for several days."
"Later, Old Zhao, through trial and error, found that the crystal core of zombies could actually synchronize with both types of energy at the same time. We tried embedding a zombie crystal core into this sphere, and to our surprise, it actually worked!"
The man then handed the sphere over to Gu Fan, who took it, surprised by the fact that a zombie crystal core could synchronize with both soul power and mysterious power. He also began inspecting the object in his hand.
The sphere was not heavy, and Gu Fan couldn’t tell what material it was made of. On each opposite side, there was a white contact point, which seemed to be where the zombie crystal core had been embedded and polished in.
Inside, he used his divine sense to inspect it. It was hollow, with a partition in the middle, seemingly designed to serve as a barrier.
"Boss, all you need to do is place both hands on the contact points at each end and output both energies to the point of saturation. After that, this alternative version of the ‘nuclear bomb’ will be almost ready."
"How do you trigger it?"
"It’s very simple. Once the saturation is reached, the quantities on both sides will have balanced out. When the Boss continues to inject energy into either side, the balance will be broken, causing a violent reaction that will shatter the partition in the middle. The result will be a huge conflict between the two energies, just like the one you encountered before."
He stopped there, as there was no need to say more.
Gu Fan understood his meaning. Now, it was just a matter of waiting for the test.
Based on this principle, Gu Fan felt that, with precise control in the future, he could potentially create such a thing without the need for any physical object, perhaps even materializing it out of thin air.
Of course, that was a matter for later. For now, using the spherical object to achieve the goal was still viable!
"Not bad, not bad. Let's go test its power now!"
With that, Gu Fan grabbed one of each of the two researchers, and in a flash, they soared into the sky.
The two had never experienced such a shock before. They screamed in fright, nearly passing out from the fear.
Fortunately, Gu Fan’s speed was fast, and the three of them soon arrived in a remote, uninhabited mountain range.
Gu Fan casually spun around. The surrounding mountain range stretched for dozens of kilometers, with no survivors hiding inside, so there was no need to worry about causing any destruction!
He then positioned the two researchers at a safe distance before quickly rising into the air.
Following the instructions the two had given him, he continuously infused both soul power and mysterious power into the sphere.
However, during this process, he remained vigilant, his divine sense constantly monitoring the Bronze Gate. If any danger arose, he would immediately leave this world.
In this world, it was always reasonable to suspect anyone, especially since Gu Fan didn’t know if the two researchers had ulterior motives.
With continuous compression and energy input, Gu Fan injected about fifty percent of each type of energy into the sphere before he felt it approaching saturation.
He stopped inputting the energy and weighed the ball in his hand, feeling no change in its weight.
His gaze slightly darkened as he threw the ball toward the distance.
While still in mid-air, a surge of soul power shot out, accurately striking one of the contact points!
The next moment, time seemed to freeze. The balance inside the ball shattered, and the two types of energy instantly reacted and clashed. A violent space distortion appeared.
Gu Fan’s face changed drastically, and he immediately retreated, putting distance between himself and the explosion. After a few leaps, he returned to the original spot, pulling the two researchers back to a safe distance.
In that instant, a burst of intense light erupted. The entire world lost its color, followed by violent fluctuations that destroyed everything in its path.
A sense of all things being annihilated spread through everything.
Gu Fan could feel that if he had been even a moment late in retreating, he would have been immediately killed, with no chance of survival.
The sensation was so terrifying that it made him think a full-force strike from a Celestial Heart Realm expert might be no different!
At this moment, the two scientists were also stunned, their mouths wide open as they stared at the scene.
"Luckily, we’re far enough away! Otherwise, the shockwave alone could have killed us!"
"Thank you, Boss, for taking us out of the danger zone, or we would’ve been dead for sure!"
Gu Fan, on the other hand, had a glint of excitement in his eyes, looking very pleased.
"Not bad, how does the power compare to what you expected from nuclear weapons?"
The two exchanged a glance and said:
"In terms of physical destructive power, it absolutely crushes nuclear weapons. Except for the lack of radiation fallout, everything else—whether it’s the power or the explosive speed—is stronger, not weaker!"
"However…"
Gu Fan looked at the physics expert and asked:
"What’s the issue?"
"It’s just that the power seems a little less than I expected, but I think I know the reason."
Gu Fan was surprised. The power was still lacking a bit? These researchers were even more obsessed than he was!
"It should be a material problem. The strength and toughness of the shell material aren't enough to allow the two energies to fully clash and accumulate. Only when it's suppressed to the extreme will it release even stronger energy."
At this moment, the chemistry expert sighed and said:
"But this is the hardest material we can shape. If this is still not enough, there’s nothing we can do..."
Gu Fan snapped his fingers.
"Perhaps I can find the solution."
With that, he pulled out some spoils from his storage pouch: a long sword, a great blade, a flying wheel, and other various weapons.
Although these materials from the cultivation world weren't considered rare treasures locally, their material strength couldn’t be compared at all to the ones in the apocalypse world.
"If you’re having trouble shaping it, I can melt it first and then hand it over to you so you can forge the same spherical object as before."
The two scientists’ eyes lit up.
"That’s possible! If the material is suitable, the power could even increase by three more levels!"
As they conversed, the smoke and dust from the explosion gradually cleared.
They instinctively looked at the point where the explosion had occurred. This time, when they looked, even Gu Fan couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.
What was once a towering, sprawling mountain range was now a massive deep pit. The destruction spanned an estimated range of over thirty kilometers!
It was terrifying beyond belief!
Even though the materials in the cultivation world were more stable and solid, with an explosion of such intensity, perhaps half of Tianyun City would be destroyed.
Gu Fan silently thought to himself, suddenly feeling more anticipation for the upcoming battle...
