Chapter 81 Magical Particle Celestial Weapon? (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)
"Not only can they be upgraded, but I also think these things will generate many new research directions for our new equipment."

A glint of light flashed in Li Xiang's eyes.

"We might be able to use the special properties of this material to create a shielding device that is immune to magical interference, as well as an amplification and enhancement device."

“We could even…use this special frequency to search for these new mining areas, just like searching for WiFi signals!”

"what?"

"Can this still happen?"

"That's great!"

"It's more than just a windfall!"

A loud voice came from the doorway, making everyone's ears ring.

Li Xiang and the other researchers turned around and saw Deng Dakang stride in. He had just come from the chemical materials research group next door, and because he had heard the hypothesis of the advanced materials research group the whole time, his weathered face was full of undisguised smiles.

"Hello, Professor Deng!"

"Yes, all is well." Deng Dakang looked at the many young faces and said with a smile, "Gentlemen, your vision is still too narrow!"

Deng Dakang walked straight to the lab bench, staring intently at the materials, a look of wistfulness on his face.

"You guys, don't just think about shielding and amplifying, that's such a waste! We can also use this principle to create traps that otherworldly magical creatures would like."

Upon hearing this, a young researcher immediately had some thoughts flash through his mind and subconsciously asked, "Uh, you mean..."

"Yes, it's what you think!"

Deng Dakang grinned, revealing a set of white teeth. "Those guys in the supernatural power research team have practically shaved their heads trying to figure out how to safely capture living undead. A few days ago, seven of their soldiers were injured while capturing a few skeleton soldiers, and they're on sick leave now!"

He paused, picked up a piece of super obsidian, weighed it in his hand, and his eyes sharpened.

"After confirming that obsidian had a refreshing effect on those skeletons, we put some in and found that it really worked!"

"Now that we have this thing, let's find a good spot in the snowy mountains, build a giant undead charging station, and turn the power up to the maximum! Do you think those skeletons will be crying and begging, lining up to walk into our cages on their own?"

"Then we'll be able to harvest chives regularly!"

The metaphor was so vivid that everyone was taken aback at first, but after imagining the scene, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"How inhumane!" one researcher muttered instinctively.

Deng Dakang's eyes immediately swept over.

The researcher jumped up, immediately stood up straight, and said loudly, "Professor Deng, I mean I really like your inhumane idea! It's fucking brilliant!"

"Hahaha!"

"Professor Deng, the idea is excellent, but the other side's boss is highly intelligent. Can we capture him?"

"It's ultimately a very good research direction!"

Everyone's faces immediately lit up with great interest.

Deng Dakang rubbed his chin, composed himself, and looked around at the young and excited faces: "Besides being used as bait, everyone think again, are there any other possibilities? You are all young people, be bolder in your thinking, open your minds!"

"Professor Deng, we can bring over rare metals from the modern world and combine them with these materials to try and create a brand new magical alloy!"

"I think it should be prioritized for energy storage, which can be used to solve the problem of magical energy storage. We need magic!"

"No!"

A firm voice interrupted the discussion.

Everyone looked over and saw that Li Xiang's eyes were shining, a kind of fanatical fervor.

"I believe its ultimate application should be in magical experiments, or even... celestial weapons!"

"Magic realm?"

"Celestial weapon?" The moment those words were uttered, the entire laboratory fell silent. Everyone was stunned by this audacious, almost insane idea.

Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd, Li Xiang strode to a screen, pulled up several high-definition pictures, and said with a slightly trembling voice, "Everyone knows about the strong winds and light snow caused by the magical environment, so I won't go into details!"

"Does everyone remember those undead we encountered on the battlefield that appeared as rotting giants?"

On the screen, several photos of corpses with highly swollen skin stretched to a translucent state appeared.

Despite being so rotten that they were no longer human-shaped, they still maintained an active and aggressive posture, a bizarre scene that shocked people's nerves and scientific understanding.

If it weren't for the many illogical settings in the modern world, such as zombies, many people would commit suicide due to the collapse of their materialistic beliefs.

“I’ve been studying their corpse samples, and I’ve discovered that when those undead bosses transform corpses, they use a special magical element to forcibly construct a closed energy cycle inside the corpse!”

"This cycle nourishes a special microbial community, allowing the corpse to decompose rapidly while being sustained by another form of energy, which greatly slows down the rate at which it completely disintegrates!"

"That's why they can still move and attack living people even though they're completely rotten!"

"I believe the core of this cycle is the absorption and release of magical energy at a specific frequency! It's exactly the same property we found in the super obsidian today!"

He took a deep breath, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse with excitement, yet each word struck everyone's heart with clarity.

"If we can thoroughly analyze and reproduce this cycle using super obsidian, and then amplify it ten thousand times, one hundred thousand times... we can not only induce some microbial ecological cycles, but also engage in necromancy."

"We can even mimic the powers of the undead bosses to create our own... super celestial weapons!"

The entire laboratory was deathly silent.

One second, two seconds...

boom!
The crowd erupted in chaos!

"An artificial blizzard?!"

"If this could work, wouldn't the global warming problem be solved directly? Just set up a few super-powerful 'cooling machines' above the poles, and the glaciers would be replenished in no time!"

"Solve my ass! This is God's scepter! It's truth! Everything within its range is truth!"

One researcher lowered his voice, speaking with a mixture of excitement and fear: "Imagine if we weaponized it... for example, on the other side of the ocean, we could unleash a 'natural' disaster of minus forty degrees Celsius on those non-monkey regions near the equator..."

hiss--

The image flashed through everyone's minds, and they all shuddered involuntarily.

That's truly killing without drawing blood, and destroying the spirit without leaving a trace!
Deng Dakang's breathing became heavy, and he stared intently at Li Xiang, his gaze seeming to want to devour him whole.

He walked step by step to Li Xiang, patted him hard on the shoulder, and spoke in a deep and powerful voice.

"This project has great scientific research value."

He looked around, then his gaze finally settled on Li Xiang, and he said, slowly and deliberately, "Well, I think the code name for this project could be—Project Winter Wind!"

"what?"

"Professor Deng's insight is brilliant."

After a burst of enthusiastic praise, the temperature in the laboratory seemed to have not yet dissipated.

Deng Dakang gestured for everyone to be quiet, but a flame flickered in his eyes as well.

"The Winter Wind Project is a powerful weapon, but weapons cannot be created out of thin air."

His voice wasn't loud, but because of his ingenious ideas, all the researchers listened attentively.

"Besides using them as bait, let's think of other ways we can exploit the differences between the two worlds to create an unprecedented bug!"

"Exploiting a bug?"
