Chapter 460: Streaming Light
As for these "people" who can successfully cut off the connection with the physical body, completely complete the informatization, and completely survive in the virtual network, Yamato internally calls them "virtual".
After the Red World Rebellion, the Yamato military, feeling that the situation was becoming increasingly tense, further accelerated its militarized research on this new technology, hoping to create weapons that could truly confront or even defeat high-end transcendent beings.
Especially when Bai Mo reappeared in this world, suddenly changing the situation of the Huaya Federation across the water, announcing the start of the mountain reclamation project, and targeting Yamato, the leadership's sense of urgency was even greater.
The three-year unhurried reclamation project, in the eyes of Yamato's senior officials, was simply a long public execution, the torment of waiting for death to come.
Because even if Bai Mo himself did not participate in the war, he would still have a sure chance of victory against Yamato, who had been exhausted from the sea tribe's invasion, simply with the size of the Huaya Federation.
More than ten years of hard fighting, coupled with the shortage of many important materials, have resulted in Yamato's economic, technological, and production development being almost at a standstill, except for the birth of a group of super soldiers who are no less than those of the major powers. remain at the same level as many years ago.
Social development has become deformed, and everything is serving military combat.
The navy's many efforts to open a gap in the sea failed, and the sea tribe finally pushed them back to the shore at the expense of ten times and a hundred times.
The number of marine creatures is so much greater than that of humans on land that even if they suffer a battle loss ratio of 100 to 1 or even 200 to 1, they will not feel distressed at all.
What's more, the dead sea people can become food for those who come after... If it weren't for the low-level sea people who find it difficult to survive outside the ocean, humans would definitely not have been so comfortable in the past ten years, and they would still have the energy and time to fight among themselves. .
"How is the situation with military incorporeal bodies?" The major, wearing a blood-stained military uniform, asked the project leader of the Technology Development Bureau next to him about the situation.
"It's... not even close." The man next to him, wearing black-rimmed glasses and cold sweat dripping from his forehead, replied tremblingly as he looked at the young sergeant who had just gone on the battlefield to kill, with the blood of the Sea Clan still on the tip of his knife.
"No need to use words like "almost" to fool me. The Wangri Bridge in White Land is almost completed. If it cannot be completed before the war breaks out and delays the important event, you cannot afford to commit seppuku!"
While training the middle-aged man in charge of the project, Major Okita gently brushed the knife in his hand as if he were soothing his lover.
The beautiful cherry blossoms on the katana scabbard formed a somewhat subtle combination with this stubborn young man.
As a staunch resistance officer, Okita advocated fighting the invading enemies to the end. Even the events of the Great Dark Day two days ago did not shake his will at all.
In Yamato, the event that plunged the world into darkness two days ago was named the Great Dark Sky. Overtly, it refers to the battle between the two sides that day that turned the sky into darkness, and darkly, it is a metaphor for the white earth that will drag the entire world into darkness. abyss.
Of course, these lip service are just Yamato's unilateral self-pleasure.
And precisely because of Okita's stubbornness, he became the person appointed by his superiors to be responsible for contacting cutting-edge weapons, so naturally he came to trouble the project leaders every day.
"Give us another three days, and within three days the condensed matter weapon will be in the hands of Void-01 to Void-05! I guarantee it with my life!"
The middle-aged man rubbed his tired eyes, took out a can of refreshing spray from his pocket, sprayed a few puffs into his mouth, and then uttered his own heroic words.
He hadn't had a good rest for more than ten days. Even though his body was highly strengthened, he couldn't hide the exhaustion between his brows.
"I hope you will keep your word..." After hearing this reply, Okita left the reception room of the Technology Development Bureau, leaving his voice echoing.
Okita was a little irritable, so he decided to go to the sea for another round of killing to vent the pressure in his heart after leaving the Technology Development Bureau.
Even if he knew that such killings would not be considered a loss to the Sea Clan as a whole, the death of waste would only become the material for the growth of a new generation.
"Be-condensed matter weapons... I'm afraid they can't deal with Kuroyukihime." The middle-aged man thought about this problem with a little helplessness after Okita left.
As the person in charge of the entire project and one of Bai Mo's former collaborators in Yamato, he does not believe in the power of these super weapons as obsessively as the military does.
It's just that things have reached this point. The military, which advocates fighting to the end and never surrender, is frantically trying to grab any life-saving straw. No matter how much he says, nothing can be changed.
He was afraid of death, so he was unwilling to risk his life to hit the threshold of the fifth level. He stayed at the perfection of the fourth level and faced the fifth-level envoy Okita, even though his level in the system was actually higher than that of him. For some, some instinctive timidity is inevitable.
Even today, no matter which system it is, the mortality rate of level 4 impacting level 5 is still close to 10%, and the chance of success has dropped sharply to only about 1 to 2% due to the decline in spiritual energy level. .
Under such a general environment, people who are willing to gamble with a 10% mortality rate and a 2% success rate every time become increasingly rare. Therefore, fifth-level transcendental beings are still rare.
…
be-Condensed matter is the fifth form of matter after solid, liquid, vapor, and plasma states. It is a phase state that matter presents when it is very close to absolute zero.
What the team of middle-aged men did was to turn light into such a be-condensed state, turning it into superfluid liquid light, and then using it as a virtual body to give these digitalized creatures unprecedented power. , capable of attacking enemies at close to the speed of light.
Of course, a Hollow who can obtain such a powerful weapon must be absolutely loyal to the Yamato government... Before participating in the Hollow experiment, they first carried out a small-scale thinking transformation to ensure that they would not rebel.
The Yamato military believes that a Hollow that can penetrate material barriers without damage and attack at the speed of light will make it difficult for even the most powerful enemy to react and launch an effective counterattack.
As for the highly intelligent floating spirits, Yamato certainly doesn't know how to equip them, and they don't dare to equip them with such things, even if theoretically they can use liquid light as their own carrier.
"With an absolute low temperature of one hundred thousandth of a kelvin, a superfluid that cannot be blocked by matter, and an attack close to the speed of light, even a sixth-level marshal might not be able to stop him for half a minute. If not for a fatal flaw... ..." The middle-aged man looked at the experimental report in his hand and shook his head in annoyance.
