Chapter 139: Collect Debt
Red matter - a super energy conglomerate.
After working hard all night, the researchers in our guild finally figured out most of the properties of red matter. This honey-like viscous liquid has extremely strong energy, and the energy contained inside it is approximately equivalent to the energy of the same volume of colorful magic crystals.
In terms of chemical properties, the red substance itself is extremely unstable and is easily oxidized by oxygen in the air. Through experiments, we have confirmed that the previous big explosion that occurred at the Essinger Magic Crystal Power Research Institute was caused by oxidation. However, oxidation is only an inducement, not the direct principle of the explosion. What really causes the explosion is the accumulation of energy. Red matter itself has high energy. It can conduct energy outward through energy channels, weakening its own energy. This is similar to ordinary magic crystal. However, what is different from ordinary magic crystals is that red matter will react violently when it loses energy and gains energy.
The physical properties of ordinary magic crystals will basically not change after losing energy. For example, there is no difference between scrapped white magic crystals and energetic white magic crystals except for their different colors, but red matter different. When it loses energy, a decomposition reaction will occur, and the excess material inside will be released in the form of crystals. Finally, a fixed substance similar to scrapped magic crystal will be formed, while the remaining red substance will return to its original state. Standard energy density. If the red matter continues to lose energy at this time, it will precipitate into a solid state again. Anyway, it will automatically ensure that the energy of its liquid part is stable until all its internal energy is exhausted and it completely turns into a solid.
Compared with losing energy, it is more terrible when red matter gains energy. Generally, magic crystals will have two reactions when receiving energy input. One is to receive energy, and the other is to explode directly. Advanced magic crystals can regain energy by charging, but ordinary white magic crystals cannot be charged. When the energy of advanced magic crystals reaches the upper limit, they will not be able to be charged again like white magic crystals. Once they continue to be charged, Yes, it will explode immediately. In this regard, red matter has similar characteristics, but it is completely different from magic crystal in one aspect. Whether it is a white magic crystal or a high-level magic crystal that has been filled, if you want it to explode, you must input strong enough energy. This energy must first break the energy balance of the magic crystal, and then cause an explosion, so whether it is a white magic crystal The crystal is still a high-level magic crystal full of energy, and it is not easy to explode it. But red matter is different. It only requires a little energy to be excited, which means it is extremely unstable. The explosion caused by oxidation mentioned before is due to this characteristic of it. When the red substance comes into contact with the air, oxygen will oxidize the red substance, and the oxidized products cannot store energy like the red substance itself. However, the energy stored in these oxidized red substances cannot disappear out of thin air, so in the end these excess Energy will be input into the remaining red matter that has not been oxidized. But if this is the case, it is equivalent to charging the remaining red matter, and the result is only one-explosion. This is the main reason why red matter cannot exist in the air.
After a night of analysis, the researchers from the institute finally gave me the result that in addition to being used as a jet power, the red matter can basically only be used as a bomb. The main problem is that the red matter will crystallize after releasing energy, which means a large amount of solid waste will be formed. It's okay to spray the engine, since all the waste formed in the end will be sprayed out together, but this kind of thing is not suitable for general power equipment. However, members of the research team said that this is only temporary. If suitable power extraction equipment can be developed, this red material can still be used as an efficient energy source. In addition, our overnight research also produced a more important result, that is, the processing and production of red matter does not necessarily require the use of magic crystal. Although it is very cost-effective to produce red matter at a ratio of one hundred to one, it would undoubtedly be a better choice if we could directly produce red matter without white magic crystal, and we have just discovered this method now. In fact, the main component of red matter is silicon, and there are some other substances in it, but they are all common things, so the cost of raw materials is very low. The reason why white magic crystal is needed as a raw material is because the energy in it is needed, not the ingredients in the magic crystal. The researchers in our guild have now developed a charged magic array that can absorb heat and light energy and convert it into magic energy for the synthesis of red matter. The desert where our guild's steel city is located happens to have no shortage of these two kinds of energy. So we plan to build a large-scale red matter production base near Steel City. This thing is much simpler than the magic crystal steam bomb, and it is also much more powerful. It is useless if you don't use it.
Building a factory is a big project. Although it has been planned, it is impossible to produce results immediately. Therefore, in the short term, magic crystal steam weapons are our research direction, but now I have no time to care about the research progress of magic crystal steam weapons, because It’s time to settle the account in heaven.
We helped Tianting fight against Buddhism for so long, and our guild suffered heavy losses. Although we finally defeated it, the price we paid was not a penny. However, Heavenly Court gave a lot of benefits from the beginning. At least many building materials and high-end supplies were directly provided by Heavenly Court, and Heavenly Court also gave many NPC soldiers as compensation. Of course, those are just prepayments, and the real accounts haven't been settled yet. The guy Nobunaga Ghost Hands has been causing trouble with me these past few days. I don't have much time. In addition, Heaven is also dealing with the inheritance of Buddhism, so I don't have time for a while, so I have been delaying it. Now I am free. , Tianting should also be free, just in time to collect the bill.
After telling Rose and the others about the red matter, I teleported to the teleportation point outside Nantianmen, and then ran to Nantianmen excitedly to collect the money. Who knew that Nantianmen, which was always open, would be open today? is closed.
"Huh? What's going on?" I walked to the Nantian Gate in confusion, and then stretched out my hand to pat the door. Who knew that the door opened by itself before I patted it, but what appeared was not the divine general guarding the door. , but a gust of wind. No, I should talk about a figure like a gust of wind.
"Intercept him!" As the figure flashed past me, a shout came from the door, and through the crack in the door I could see that it was Erlang Shen who was shouting.
When I found out that it was Erlang Shen calling for interception, I immediately started to move. I turned around fiercely and shook my wrist. Eternity instantly turned into a long whip and wrapped around the figure's feet. I pulled it fiercely and boomed. With a sound, the man was pulled down from mid-air.
Seeing me holding the man back, Erlang Shen quickly shouted: "Brother Ziri, hold on, don't let go!"
The person I grabbed was also anxious. He suddenly turned around and stared at me and said, "How dare you, a mortal, interfere with the affairs of the Gods? If I don't let go, you will be destroyed!"
