Chapter 721 The Science of Spirituality

"Did you do something without telling me last night?"

Lin Nian put down the PAD in his hand and looked at Lu Mingfei across the corridor of the cabin. The cabin was extremely quiet as it was about to take off. Several figures were sitting in different corners quietly minding their own business, waiting for the plane to take off.

"Why do you ask such a private question right now?" Lu Mingfei, who was looking for where the seat belt was, subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

"I'm just curious. I just saw a piece of fennel leaf stuck to your tooth." Lin Nian said with a PAD, "Did you have a big meal last night without telling me? The main course was filet mignon? With foie gras." And cod rolls, maybe a few glasses of Camus?”

"Damn it, what kind of Sherlock Holmes are you from the Heisei era?" Lu Mingfei turned to the side of the plane window to quietly check his personal hygiene. "It's understandable that the steak can be seen from the fennel leaves, but the foie gras and cod rolls are How did you get it?"

"The answer is written on the collar of your clothes, right here." Lin Nian pointed to the collar and gestured, "It seems that you and Fingel drank very late last night, and you didn't even have time to change clothes and get together today. Wash up, you still smell of cognac, how much did you drink?"

"two"

"Two drinks?" Lin Nian paused and rubbed his forehead, "You should know that you have a mission today, right?"

"I know. That's why it's two bottles." Lu Mingfei raised his head in a low voice, fearing that Manstein, who was sitting in the front, would hear their conversation behind him, "Drinking makes you brave."

Lin Nian really didn't know what to say to him for a moment, so he could only sigh and let him go. The person with the greatest pressure in the entire cabin now was probably Lu Mingfei.

The entire cabin suddenly shook. Lu Mingfei, who was still looking for fennel leaves, subconsciously grabbed the seat belt and thought to himself, why is there airflow disturbance before taking off? He turned his head and looked to one side. There was a heavy rain pouring outside the porthole decorated with a mahogany frame. The cross-flowing rain left claw-like marks on the glass. The dark sky in the distance was swept by the air current, and there were terrifying clouds like snakes and dragons.

Sleipnir, the principal's special plane, was currently hiding in the black rainstorm. The runway was covered with soaked black ash. The thick water vapor obscured the distant scene. The wilderness was simply a gray maze.

"The engines are being warmed up and we expect to take off in five minutes."

The captain's announcement sounded over the broadcast in the cabin, and there were no redundant flight attendants to remind them with sweet voices. The mission assigned to this plane this time was classified as top secret by the executive department. The fewer people know about its voyage, the better. You even There was no way to detect his presence on the air route.

In the cabin, members of the 'Bronze Project' were seated from front to back. They received the emergency notice from Norma at noon yesterday, and after a short period of repairs, they urgently gathered on the runway at four o'clock in the morning the next day. In front of them, Sleipnir's boarding ladder has been opened for them, and the vehicle built for extreme speed will pack everyone up and send them to China on the other side of the ocean in about four hours.

"Can the plane take off normally in this weather? It won't be delayed, right?" Lu Mingfei seemed to have some small expectations and asked Lin Nian in a low voice.

"The captain can conduct high-intensity air-to-sea combat in typhoon weather. If you want, he can perform difficult maneuvers like the 'Imaman Maneuver' for you in this weather." Lin Nian also replied in a low voice.

He glanced at Lu Mingfei's frustrated face from the corner of his eye and said, "You don't really think that the 'Bronze Project' will be postponed due to the weather, do you?"

"Everyone has to have some dreams." Lu Mingfei whispered.

"Since you are so scared, why don't you tell Professor Manstein now that you are timid in battle and want to change the queue and sit at the back of the queue?" Lin Nian suggested in a low voice.

"You will be looked down upon, right? Isn't the reason for being timid in battle too straightforward?" Lu Mingfei wondered.

"Then do you have any chronic diseases? Now you can have an attack at the right time." Lin Nian continued to suggest.

“Does trigeminal neuralgia count after staying up late?”

"It doesn't count. Trigeminal nerve necrosis probably counts."

"So there's nothing to do?" Lu Mingfei became frustrated again.

"It's a pity that you are not a woman, otherwise you can use your aunt as a temporary excuse, so that you don't have to go into the water with me after the plane arrives." Lin Nian looked Lu Mingfei up and down.

"Men also have aunts!" Lu Mingfei retorted.

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Nian, who was holding the PAD, paused for a moment, because this really touched upon his blind spot in knowledge, "What are the specific manifestations of a man's aunt?"

"Demoralization, lack of energy, anxiety and depression."

"Then your aunt hasn't been here since the day you found out you were enrolled in the 'Bronze Project.'" Lin Nian put down his PAD and looked at the boy aside, "Lu Mingfei, tell me honestly, do you not want to get into the water? If you answer "I don't want to", I have a way to prevent you from being excluded by others and to get through safely, as long as you answer "I don't want to" in private now."

Lu Mingfei turned to look at Lin Nian's serious eyes, lowered his head and pulled his seat belt, then scratched his head, "It's not that I don't think about it at all."

"You are acting like you don't want to at all. I know you don't want to disappoint others, but I am worried that you will behave irrationally after entering the water." Lin Nian looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes and said, "You seem to have some concerns, Lu Mingfei."

"Concerns? What worries can I have?" Lu Mingfei said subconsciously, "What else can I have besides fear of death?"

"I don't know." Lin Nianduo glanced at Lu Mingfei and withdrew his gaze, "Ever since I watched the video from the Yangtze River front line in the central control room yesterday, you have been looking a little weird."

"You are the weirdest one who calmed down after watching the whole video, right?" Lu Mingfei's face suddenly flashed with panic, and he defended with wide eyes, "Normal people will be frightened by the scene inside, okay? "

"No, you are not scared. I have noticed your reaction. Your reaction is a bit special. It is as if you are questioning and doubting something, as if there is some problem that is troubling you. This kind of reaction appears in anyone They're all normal, but it's only when they appear on you that I feel a little strange." Lin Nian said.

Lu Mingfei was choked for a moment. He glanced at Lin Nian furtively and found that the other person was not staring at him at all. He was just poking at the PAD while talking, as if he was chatting with him normally, not It's a serious 'interrogation'.

"I was just wondering if the swordsman in the video was so powerful, could he use the move 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Clan'?"

"Don't talk about 'Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Clan', even 'Twenty-Three Swords' can't do anything to take down the Dragon King." Lin Nian said, "The word spirit of 'Sword Royal' is indeed very strong, with a bit of 'Xianxia' flavor name, but what it actually controls is 'electromagnetic force'. As one of the basic forces of nature, the word spirit 'Sword Control' can do hundreds or thousands of things more terrifying than the so-called sword control flying. times."

"For example?" Lu Mingfei breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Nian was successfully led away from the topic.

"For example, a stable electromagnetic field can be constructed to solidify and accelerate the rotation of molten iron in the electromagnetic field, accumulating kinetic energy and emitting it in the high-temperature iron block." Lin Nian handed the PAD to Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei took it and glanced at the screen. It turned out to be a weapon design with a sword-shaped LOGO on it. The direction of the current and the trajectory of the spiral were drawn on it. With his knowledge level as a liberal arts student, he could only understand it partially. But after watching the entire episode of "EVA", I immediately said the name of this thing, "Electromagnetic gun?"

"Coil gun, rail gun, electric heating gun, this is one of the tactics designed by Norma for orthodox 'Sword Control' users that can be implemented in the 'Bronze Plan' against the Dragon King." Lin Nian motioned to Lu Mingfei to slide. PAD said.

"For the Dragon King, the threat of normal artillery fire and ammunition is either too scattered or too weak. According to the data about the 'Static Flame Barrier' collected by Norma during the Battle of Constantine, calculations show that there is a large amount of technological enthusiasm It is difficult for weapons to cause harm to the Dragon King."

"But if it is an ultra-modern weapon, such as a high-energy laser beam or a electromagnetic gun, it may have a chance of penetrating the flame barrier and hitting the Dragon King."

"Yeah, then why not move the high-energy laser on the top of the mountain?" Lu Mingfei turned around and asked subconsciously.

"That is a prototype and cannot be disassembled. According to the equipment department, the successful launch of that thing is beyond their imagination. In their design, the high-energy laser beam should have had two to three major steps. It has not been solved, but it can be started just like the code in the hands of programmers. They themselves don’t know how the code full of bugs can run successfully." Lin Nian shook his head.

"So unreliable?" The corner of Lu Mingfei's mouth twitched, and he lowered his head and swiped on the PAD again. It was still a design drawing and a large section of thesis analysis, which also had a sword-shaped LOGO. He just glanced at it and Not only the corners of his mouth twitched, but the corners of his eyes also twitched, "Is this thing... a positron cannon?"

"To be specific, it is a charged particle cannon. It uses charged particles to accelerate and launch through a particle accelerator. It does not emit a beam of light like in movies and cartoons. It is invisible and extremely difficult to observe. It can only be detected when it comes into contact with matter. It will fire an explosion." Lin Nian squinted at the interface displayed on the PAD in Lu Mingfei's hand, "This is also one of the tactics designed by Norma to defeat the Dragon King, but it is extremely difficult to complete compared to the electromagnetic gun because we don't know the orthodoxy.' Does the user of Jianyu's control of electromagnetic fields reach the level of a charged particle accelerator? Charged particles are easily affected by the magnetic field and deflected. Even if they can be successfully launched, the accuracy is still a problem."

"I thought we were in a fantasy novel, going to the battlefield with bare arms, using real swords and guns, and seeing blood with each sword." Lu Mingfei's expression was silent.

"The times are advancing. The Equipment Department and a group of pioneer scientists believe that the barbaric use of the 'Word Spirit' limits their own potential too much. If the 'Sword Control' is only used to control swords, it is like using a high-tech rifle to burn fire. Hit someone on the head with a stick." Lin Nian said, "You can continue to turn over, there will be more behind you."

Lu Mingfei swiped his hand, and then new design drawings and papers appeared, but the LOGO changed from a sword shape to a flame type. He just glanced at the title of the paper and his expression was visibly distorted, ""On'jun" "The feasibility of using compression heating to upgrade the 'Zhulong', what is this?"

"The essence of high-temperature flames is plasma. When the Dragon King Constantine released the 'Candle Dragon', a large amount of 'super gaseous' matter appeared around it. Therefore, the innovators of "Yan Ling Xue" believed that the 'Junyan' and the 'Zhulong' were The only difference between the dragons is not the form of the word spirit itself, but the absolute temperature. They want to use external methods to heat the flame of the 'Junyan' to a super gaseous state, and create a 'Candle Dragon' that is released in the form of 'Junyan' 'The majesty of the effect."

"I think the user of 'Jun Yan' should have something to say about this." Lu Mingfei silently raised his head and looked at the back of the head of the Lion Heart Club president in front of the cabin.

"Chu Zihang has no objection to this. If there is a chance, he will try it before meeting Norton." Lin Nian said, "You can continue to read back."

"Don't tell me there will be something even more outrageous later." Lu Mingfei wanted to cover his face, but slid down out of curiosity.

"The compatibility between cloud blasting agent and 'Jun Yan' surpasses the high temperature limit of 5000°C"

"Controlled deflagration combat method of 'Jun Yan' in a closed environment_Anti-collapse combat (marked in red)"

"The compatibility of 'Jun Yan' and air flow disturbance machine, fire storm, the prototype of meteorological weapons"

"Scientific matrix arrangement of 'Kamaitachi', scientific construction method of real-time feedback information network without dead ends"

"Biological modification of the 'Kamaita', discussion on the genetic modification of spiritual creatures and the loading and unloading of small-capacity turrets"

"'Snake' Hacking, Stealing Computer Data Through Bioelectricity"

The more Lu Mingfei looked at it, the more outrageous he felt. He also noticed that the LOGOs on different types of papers and design drawings were different. For example, those involving 'Sword Control' had sword-shaped LOGOs, while those involving 'Junyan' had flames and sickles. Itachi's is a black hawk and so on. This PAD is almost full of Norma's guide to the development of word spirits for every word spirit user, and he will try his best to squeeze out their potential in this dragon-slaying battle.

"Yan Ling, it's amazing, isn't it?" Lin Nian looked at Lu Mingfei, who had a numb face, and said with a smile.

Lu Mingfei nodded and swiped his PAD again and said, "Why don't I see the experimental design related to you?"

"Because it's not necessary. But it did happen before, but it failed." Lin Nian raised his head, "At first they thought that the secret of the word spirit 'Snap' was to urge the body of the releaser to secrete chemicals similar to adrenaline, so They believe that as long as they can find this chemical substance, figure out its secret, synthesize it artificially, and inject a large amount into the body of the 'Snap' user, they can artificially increase the level of 'Snap'."

"They didn't find it?"

"I don't know. Because the experiment failed from the step of extracting my blood." Lin Nian lowered his eyes, "As for why it failed, if you want to know, you can go to Norma's information database and swipe your student card to investigate."

If Lu Mingfei remembers correctly, permission is required to access the Norma information database, and the permission of his student card seems to be 'S' level?

To investigate everything related to Lin Nian, one needs permission of 'S' level or above. Lu Mingfei swallowed his saliva and felt that he had better not bring trouble to search for information that ruined his outlook on life.

"If you look carefully, you will find that the two word spirits, 'Junyan' and 'Jianyu', have the most experimental designs. This is because these two word spirits have extremely strong plasticity, just like high-precision machinery. , can be externally debugged in various ways by modern science.”

"But 'Instant' is different from 'Time Zero'. It is a weapon that cannot be explained by modern science, and its researchability is surprisingly low. This leads to the fact that in the eyes of those people, my word spirit is no different than a fire stick. The principal and I can only use the words and spirits in the most brutal and primitive way. We don’t need to think about anything more. All we need to do is make sure we are faster and stronger." Lin Nian said.

"What about your word spirits other than 'Instant' and 'Time Zero'?" Lu Mingfei looked at Lin Nian and asked subconsciously.

Lin Nian suddenly paused and glanced at Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei also instantly realized that he had made a mistake, and the corridor fell into sudden silence.

"Actually, there is nothing about you in these experimental design drawings, because Norma's information database shows that you do not control any spirit. But is this really the case?"

Lin Nian reached across the corridor and patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder and said quietly, "Things that cannot be studied cannot be countered. Everyone has their own secrets. These secrets will always be useful when the time is right." use."

He took back the PAD in Lu Mingfei's hand, "We will be sent to the Dragon King's house in four hours. Don't worry about what you need to do after entering the water. The one who should worry about these things is never you, but me. You Just keep your secret until then and reveal it when you see fit, just like last time."

"." Lu Mingfei nodded.

"Lu Mingfei." Finally, Lin Nian called him, and the two looked at each other. "Believe me, I won't let anything happen to anyone. Just like before, I will protect you this time."

Lu Mingfei looked at him for a while, nodded heavily, and then slowly looked away.

But the new entries in the dark green data on the opponent's shoulder could not be dispersed from his eyes for a long time.

Special abilities: Word Spirit·Baqi, Violent Blood·Road to Godhood (Third Degree), Baptism (Constantine), Word Spirit·Fu Sheng, Word Spirit·Snap (Tenth Level), Word Spirit·Time Zero, Composite Domain (Gray), Dragon Bone State (Full), Spiritual Realm (Extreme)

That's true. He shouldn't be the one to worry about after entering the water.

He turned to look out the window of the heavy rain and thought silently, "What we should worry about is the dragon king who can't find his brother."
