Chino strolls around the display case: "I need a weapon for my own use." ”

Chou Xi followed behind, shook his head and asked: "It's still a cold weapon, right, swords, guns, clubs, axes, spears, bows, crossbows, swords, hammers, sticks, claws, sickles, which kind of weapons?" ”

Chino: "I didn't think about it. ”

Chou Xi almost died of anger: "I really convinced you Party A, I didn't make the needs clear at the beginning, and I was asked to change it later, and after changing it, I said 'It seems that the first version is the best'... Ahh!!h No, no, you have to make it clear, or you won't do it! ”

Chino smiled helplessly: "I really didn't think about it, so I want to ask you to help me with advice." It is better to have a weapon that can adapt to a variety of complex battlefield environments, and a single weapon type is too limited. ”

"Adapting to complex environments... That is, to be tactically changeable. Suddenly, something came to mind, "Oh yes, you can take a look at this thing." ”

She took Chino through the automatic door, and after fingerprint verification, iris verification, and entered the 108-bit key with the dynamic change of the deviation value of the Hilbert matrix and the Caesar encryption, she entered the core laboratory.

In the sealed cabin in the center of the research room, something caught Chino's attention.

It was a drop of liquid metal floating in the air, crystal clear and bright, the curve like a sea of dreams rippling with ripples, the surface of the perfect reflection of the surrounding scenery was so pure that it did not have any blemishes, and the mere look at it would make you worry if your vision would tarnish it, like tears dripping from the eyes of a god, and any literary language would be eclipsed in front of it.

Chino's artist cell was quickly drawn to it and couldn't take his eyes off it: "What is this?" ”

"It's nothing," Chou Xi looked at it, a mysterious smirk on his face, "it could be anything." ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's a free substance. If you have learned a lot about chemistry, you should know that there is an interaction force between adjacent atoms or ions that is collectively called 'chemical bonds', such as ionic bonds, covalent bonds, metallic bonds, and so on. These chemical bonds connect atoms, and they hold different atoms together in different bonds, which in turn make up matter, and also make up our world. The liquid substance in front of you is the free state that has broken the chemical bonds between atoms, but has not yet reconstituted the free state of matter—a free state that can exist stably! ”

Chino's pupils began to dilate: "Meaning, it can be turned into any substance?" ”

"Yes, as long as the data is fixed, it can be turned into any substance, like gold." At this point, he added, "But the gain of turning into gold outweighs the cost, because the value of the materials and energy consumed to make this free substance far exceeds that of gold itself." ”

"But if it can be transformed into uranium, plutonium, deuterium, tritium, and other substances, it will be a revolution in the history of science and technology."

"Theoretically, this is true, but in practice it is not, because not all matter can be transformed into this free state, and it requires transuranic elements with atomic number greater than 92 as the material. This transuranic element itself is extremely expensive, and it is not worth the cost to use it to decompose it into free matter and then convert it into atomic industrial materials, just as no one will exchange a pound of gold for a pound of iron. ”

"What is its current field of use?"

"For the time being, it is only a huge breakthrough in technology, and the industry has not yet found a suitable practical field."

"Does it help with my needs?"

"You want a weapon to face the complex battlefield environment, I have an idea. Since it can be turned into any matter, I can try to deduce a data that transforms it into a quark-like material with strong interacting forces. Moreover, this transformation is reversible, and it can change back to the free state at any time, or it can become another substance. Just imagine, in normal times, it can be a table, a tree, a coin in your hand, and once you encounter an enemy, it can instantly turn into a weapon with strong interaction forces. This kind of adaptability is most suitable for the face of complex battlefields. ”

"With the current technology, is it already possible to make materials with strong interactions?"

"Not at the moment, there is still a big gap in the field of microphysics, which means that I need to conduct long research experiments, and I have to concentrate and not be distracted and focus on this project."

Chino understood what it meant: "You can make an offer." ”

Chou Xi smiled and kept rubbing his hands: "You are my VIP customer, give you a discounted price, 987654721033." ”

Chino was directly stunned: "Are you slaughtering me like a pig?" ”

Chou Xi quibbled: "What is this? The price of 100 figurines only! I can't afford this money, and I still say that I have been to the second yuan? ”

Chino was a little helpless: "I owe it first, pay in installments." ”

More than 980 billion, even if 1 point of respect value can be exchanged for 100,000 money in the previous life, it will cost 9800000 points of respect value, I don't know how long I have to save.

Fortunately, the two knew each other too well, and Chou Xi said that she would accept the installment payment, and she would start researching it immediately.

"That's right." What did he think, "The materials of the two worlds cannot be exchanged, can only use the materials you provide?" ”

"Yes." Chino entered the respect system to search and found that the free state of the substance that he said in the past required 10 respect points per gram, and the unit price was more expensive than that of atomic materials.

Chino pointed to the sealed cabin: "Can this container hold more free matter now?" ”

"Yes, you can, but it's better to open a new cabin to prevent it from getting mixed up with the original one." Chou Xi walked to the cubicle, opened a new sealed cabin, and motioned for Chino to put it inside.

Chino had previously exchanged 200 Esteem Points for cash, and now had 224 Esteem Points left, which he exchanged for 22 grams of free matter and teleported directly into the new sealed capsule.

Witnessing the scene of matter appearing out of thin air, he couldn't take his eyes off and asked, "These substances were originally in your space ring?" ”

Chino shook his head.

"You have a way to exchange the things you want out of thin air at a certain price?" ”

Chino was silent.

Seeing that Chino was silent, Chou Xi changed the subject: "I will start the research as soon as possible." Once the strong interaction material is developed, I assure you that no matter what strange forces you have in your world, nothing can break through it. ”

Chino added: "But the total quality is a problem. ”

"Yes, there are gaps in the microscopic physics theory, which means that there will be many failed experiments and a large amount of free raw materials will be consumed. The free matter you get is 22 grams, and the tentative utilization rate is 1%, which means that the mass of the original strong interaction weapon is 0.22 grams, which is about the same as a needle. ”

Chino snorted: "It's okay, you get the model and data first, and I'll provide you with the materials as much as possible, it will get bigger and bigger." ”

A flame ignited in his eyes again, it was a kind of search and fanaticism for knowledge: "I can't even imagine how terrifying it would be if the total mass of a strong interaction force weapon reached the tonnage level. ”

Chino couldn't help but wonder about this, he glanced at the countdown and said, "In 20 minutes, I'm leaving." ”

"Are you in such a hurry?" He shook his head and said, "What do you want to do in the last 20 minutes of this world?" ”

Chino: "Come with me to see the sunrise." ”

...

The cold night is gone, the dawn is approaching, and everything is soaked in haze.

The two of them reached the surface through the elevator and glimpsed the city dotted with twilight, the morning sun breaking through the vast night, and the darkness of the sky was like ink dripping into the water, slowly disappearing in the cascading blur. The hazy scenery is full of mystery, but also brings the unique tranquility before dawn, soothes the restless heart, and makes people immerse.

Chino leaned on the sloping railing, the morning breeze blew the delicate hair, hitting the delicate cheeks like clotted cream, showing a lovely red like apples, he had the same smile on his face as always, and his amber eyes stared at the bright sky in the distance, and the rising sun was reflected in the pupils, as if there was a backlight flowing.

At this time, he hung upside down on the railing like a treasure, and asked lazily: "Nuobao, will you be lonely when you go to another world alone?" ”

Chino stretched out his hand to block it, and rubbed his fingers lightly, as if to crush the sunlight on his fingertips: "I don't know what loneliness is, and I can't understand it." ”

"Yes, you're a processor who is not born with the ability to empathize. As for me, I'm just a bionic human created by humans for science, everything in my mind is set, and my personality, tone of voice, and anthropomorphic emotions are all just data, so I won't be lonely, and I can't understand what loneliness is. Chou Xi put his fingers on the corners of his lips and said, "We are all monsters~"

Chino looked at Chou Xi, and the glow of the setting sun was reflected in his eyes: "Close your eyes." ”

"Are you leaving?" Chou Xi's eyes closed, and he waved his hand with a big grin, "Bye-bye~"

Suddenly, she only felt a light breeze blowing, and she subconsciously opened her eyes, only to see the slanted fence empty.

The twilight is hazy, as if someone is going.
