Ultraman: Because I am Gatanothor

Horii nodded, looked around, and said, "What Daigo said just now reminded me that this white fog, which is like fog but not fog, has no water molecule structure at all, but is mostly composed of ions."

If you attack the fog with rain, the water molecules will carry away the electrons in the fog, and the fog will not form!

So I was wondering if there were any artificial rainmaking devices here!

Jiang Qiqianhe was somewhat taken aback. "What if it catches fire?"

Horii gave her an approving look; he hadn't expected her to be such a top student.

"You're worried that if we use water and it comes into contact with the white mist, it will turn into electrolyzed water, right?"

Jiang Qiqianhe nodded and said, "That's right. This white mist should have a lot of electrons. Once it combines with water, will it produce hydrogen and oxygen?"

Hydrogen is a flammable gas, oxygen is an oxidizing gas, and water conducts electricity, which also generates heat, making it extremely easy for a fire to start!

Horii laughed and said, "Then we'll have to see how much rain can be brought down by artificial rainmaking!"

Jiang Qiqianhe's eyes lit up. That's right, this white fog can only cover two or three hilltops at most. Once artificial rain is brought in, the amount of rainwater will definitely be enough to extinguish the fire.

Moreover, this fire might even burn those parasites to death!

That's a really good idea!

"Moreover, besides electrons, the majority of the substances in this fog are unknown substances."

Even without accelerants, the rain can wash away these unknown substances!

Chapter 477 Never Give Up Easily

Just as the two were talking, another accident occurred.

The mist that was originally trapped outside the room was now spreading into the room through the air conditioning ducts.

Jiang Qiqian cried out in alarm, "Mr. Horii!"

Horii's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly grabbed an electric fan, plugged it in, and blew the air towards the air conditioner.

At the critical moment, they finally managed to drive all the fog out of the room.

"Phew, thankfully, the power is still working. In that case, we just need to wait for rescue!"

Jiang Qiqianhe also breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn't help but look at Horii, and said with some surprise, "I didn't expect Mr. Horii to be so capable!"

Horii chuckled and said, "Of course, in the GUTS team, the only one who can rival me is that kid Nanase Kaede!"

"Nanase Kaede!? You mean that genius scientist who cracked nuclear fusion?" Jiang Qiqian asked in surprise, taken aback.

"Yes!" Horii nodded. "That's right, it's him. If it weren't for the widespread adoption of his controlled nuclear fusion technology, our island nation would probably still need solar power, which would definitely have led to a disaster!"

"Disaster!?" Jiang Qiqianhe was a little confused. She asked in confusion, "Disaster? Is it because of a lack of electricity?"

Horii glanced at Chizuru Egi and understood why she had asked that question.

Do you remember Gazort the Lightning?

Upon hearing this, Jiang Qiqianhe nodded and replied, "I know, that monster wiped out an entire defense force!"

"That monster was formed because our extensive use of electromagnetic waves caused a mutation in the lightning people living in the ionosphere."

My mentor, Dr. Mizuno, to prevent a recurrence of this tragedy, resolutely left the meteorological bureau and built a team from scratch to research nuclear fusion.

Jiang Qiqianhe was somewhat surprised, "Electromagnetic waves?!"

The next moment, she seemed to understand something, and nodded unconsciously, saying, "So that's how it is. No wonder the solar energy device in outer space was moved to Mars. It was because they were afraid that the electromagnetic waves emitted by the solar energy would cause the Lightning Man to mutate again!"

As Dr. Jiang Qi's daughter, she naturally knew about the existence of the Lightning Man, so she wasn't too surprised.

Horii was about to nod when he suddenly noticed that the fan was slowing down and had stopped spinning.

Upon seeing this, the two men's expressions changed, and Horii cursed under his breath.

"What a crappy fan! It's malfunctioning?!"

However, Jiang Qiqianhe had a different idea. Pointing to the small desk lamp, she said anxiously, "No, it's a power outage!"

"Nani!?"

Horii hurriedly looked over. He had turned on the desk lamp earlier while looking for information, but the light from the small lamp was very dim, and since it was daytime now, turning it on was as good as not turning it on at all.

So when the fan stopped spinning, he assumed it was malfunctioning.

The lamp's LEDs aren't working at all; it's impossible for the lamp to malfunction along with the fan.

Although the probability is incredibly small, it doesn't mean it's impossible. What if it really is a problem with the fan or the lamp?

Horii gritted his teeth, ripped off the power cord from the socket, and grabbed the two exposed wires.

Seeing his actions, Eizaki Chizuru asked in utter astonishment, "Mr. Horii, what are you doing?"

Horii's expression turned extremely ugly. "After so many years as a scientist, I can tell whether there's electricity or not just by touching it!"

Damn it, this guy actually thought of shutting off the power supply, leaving our fans without electricity!

This is definitely not an ordinary monster!

Jiang Qiqianhe pointed at the air conditioner and asked, "So what do we do now?"

Without the wind's resistance, the white mist had already spread into the room along the air conditioning ducts.

Moreover, to prevent them from blocking the pipes, the white mist did not attack them directly, but instead enveloped the air conditioner, making it impossible for them to attack.

Moreover, the white mist also spread towards the windows and doors that led out.

This is a plan to engulf them all, trapping them to death!

Horii made a snap decision and said hastily, "Let's go out the window!"

Jiang Qiqianhe also knew that staying in the room meant certain death, and there was no water in the room either.

So going out might lead to death, but staying in the room will definitely lead to death.

"Alright, Mr. Horii, let's escape to the southeast. I remember there's a viewing pond there!"

Upon hearing the word 'water,' Horii's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "Okay, let's go now!"

After the two made their decision, Horii picked up a stool and smashed the glass window.

There was no white fog outside the window, so Horii quickly flipped over and jumped out.

His movements were completely out of proportion to his size; he was like a nimble fat man.

Jiang Qiqianhe also jumped out.

Fortunately, this is the first floor.

The white mist immediately chased after them from the other side. Upon seeing this, Horii and Eizaki Chizuru's expressions changed drastically, and they took off running.

As he ran, Horii looked back and suddenly realized that the mist was coming from the air conditioner unit, which gave him a pleasant surprise.

He joked as he ran, "This white mist does have intelligence, but not much of it!"

Jiang Qiqianhe was taken aback, and asked without turning her head, "Why do you say that?"

"Because it only acts on instinct, even though the windows could block us, it all rushed in through the air conditioner after it discovered that it could get in through there."

This actually makes me think that the power was cut off most likely because they accidentally touched the main switch, thus inadvertently damaging it!

Hearing this, Jiang Qiqianhe's tense mood eased slightly.

Facing a beast with intelligence and facing a beast without intelligence are two completely different concepts.

She couldn't help but give Horii a grateful smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Horii!"

To avoid alarming her, this chubby scientist also possessed a unique gentleness.

Horii: "???"

Did I do anything to make her want to thank me?

However, now is not the time to think about that. At this moment, they are outside, and countless small parasites are emerging from the fog.

Seeing this, Horii hurriedly pulled out his Victory Hyper gun and fired several shots at the parasites!

Although he was a scientist, his shooting skills had improved a lot through so many battles. He could now take down these slow-moving parasites with a single shot.

But the fog is full of these parasites.

Moreover, the speed of the fog was almost the same as theirs, making it impossible to shake off.

Horii didn't know how many shots he fired, but his arm was sore.

Jiang Qiqianhe was also unable to run anymore. The prolonged strenuous exercise had caused her to be extremely oxygen-deprived, and her breathing was unusually rapid.

My brain started to feel dizzy and confused, and I became mentally disoriented.

Suddenly, her legs gave way and she fell to the ground.

She said with difficulty, "I can't go on anymore, I can't run anymore!"

Horii fired two shots, eliminating the parasites that rushed out of the fog, and then quickly crouched down to help her up.
