High-tech invasion, I can see the future

Chapter 49 Whose footprints are they? Activate the scepter!

The scepter was quickly retrieved, and Professor Feng took it, examining the black wooden scepter carefully. After a brief sensory examination, he found nothing unusual.

As a lightning cultivator at the Spirit Origin Realm, he attempted to infuse the lightning spiritual energy within his body into the scepter.

The power of thunder continued to pour into the black scepter, but there was no reaction.

It's like a bottomless pit, constantly absorbing everything.

"This thing is actually quite interesting!"

"However, do you know how much energy this thing requires? My lab doesn't do small-scale business. If it's too powerful and destroys this treasure, I won't be responsible."

Wang Wen was certainly unaware of this, and could only look at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu laughed and said, "If something can be destroyed, can it still be called a treasure?"

"Oh ho, what a big mouth you've got! Did you learn that from your teacher?"

Bai Yu helplessly shrugged and said without any mercy, "I'm just a member of the investigation team, not Professor Wang Wen's student. He's the one who kept trying to take me on as his apprentice, but I refused. Now he's shamelessly calling me his student. I've never seen such audacity."

Before he could finish speaking, Professor Wang glared at him, and Bai Yu could only scratch his head awkwardly.

I was wrong, but I won't change.

The expressions of the two professors' students were priceless when Bai Yu said this!

Professor Wang actually did this?!

How could my own teacher do such a thing?

Thinking about it carefully, the conversation in the car didn't seem right.

Professor Feng was also taken aback for a moment, glancing at Bai Yu and then at Wang Wen.

Seeing Wang Wen's embarrassed expression, one could tell that Bai Yu wasn't lying.

There's a story behind that!

"Interesting! Haha, even more interesting! This place hasn't been this fun in a long time."

He then changed the subject to business: "However, do you have a rough idea of ​​what this treasure is like? My lab cost two billion to build, and it uses at least several thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity. It could be destroyed in the blink of an eye."

"It would probably require several hundred thousand kilowatt-hours of electricity."

"Hundreds of thousands of degrees!?"

This time it was Professor Feng's turn to be shocked: "Do you even have a concept of how much energy this is? Hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours is no small amount."

"Yes, that's all we need."

But Professor Feng, from his perspective, certainly doesn't think Bai Yu understands the significance of hundreds of thousands of kilowatt-hours of electricity!

Let's convert it to an even more exaggerated concept.

[50 kilowatt-hours of electricity is equivalent to 183 million tons of water falling from a height of 100 meters!]

How could such a small scepter store such a huge amount of electrical energy?

Currently, even in the extraordinary world, things with this energy density are rarely seen.

He didn't argue with Bai Yu, only saying, "Then let's start with the bare minimum and test the waters. Don't blame me if it's ruined."

After saying that, preparations began.

His massive laboratory requires meticulous preparation for each experiment.

Professor Feng's students, as well as the local guard team, were all busy.

Bai Yu also got busy and learned about the laboratory.

Actually, they wanted to see if they could uncover any shady dealings among the staff; maybe they could find something.

Unfortunately, no abnormalities were found.

Seeing this, he took advantage of the gap and walked to the scorched mud at the corner of the office building, avoiding people's sight, and took out his mobile phone.

Using satellite communication capabilities, I began editing a short message.

"Professor Feng has successfully developed the Thunder Gun, and recently, the lab discovered traces of vampire cyborgs in the vicinity. They even used this monster as a target during the Thunder Gun experiment."

"Besides that, Professor Feng today..."

After sending the text message, Bai Yu also sent some photos of the people he had taken, thinking: Could the analysis team detect anything suspicious? For example, some people might have unusual facial features that differ from the original members, perhaps they are vampires in disguise or something.

After finishing the report, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

It has to be said, this kind of thing is a bit like doing theft; he was sweating profusely!

Turning around, I walked to the corner and looked around. No one was paying attention to me.

But just as he was about to leave, he looked down and saw footprints at the corner!

Because the land has raised gullies, the footprints are not complete.

"Wait a minute!!! These aren't my footprints! And the angle of these footprints makes it look like they're looking at my back."

He couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"Who's watching me from behind? And without making a sound! Something's not right."

Although they were having a good time chatting, this was a restricted experimental area. He was clearly the kind of person who acted furtively. If this person saw him, wouldn't they have to react in some way? Or rather, wouldn't they be secretly tattling on him behind his back?

"This action was somewhat reckless."

If this attack were to fail because of me...

He couldn't help but pat his face; a headache was starting to flare up.

This was the first time he had felt so agitated since he transmigrated.

But after calming down and thinking it over, even if the person watching me was an insider, they might not think that I had discovered the plan in advance, right?

My location isn't exactly secluded, so it doesn't look like I'm passing on secret messages.

The enemy deployed a considerable number of troops for this attack. Would they really cancel the operation because of such a small mistake? Probably not.

Professor Feng, Professor Wang Wen, and the soon-to-be-appeared Thunder Scepter are enough to entice them to make a move.

This is already an open conspiracy! Even if the other side notices something amiss, they will probably still take action, only they will be better prepared.

"Let's take pictures of the footprints first, see if they're covered in mud or anything, and find that guy quickly."

"Of course, there's also the possibility that I'm overthinking it, and someone is watching from behind and has already gone to tattle."

"Take your time and see."

As Bai Yu walked into the crowd, Professor Wang Wen approached him and whispered, "What were you doing in that corner?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's heart stirred, and he said, "There's a secret mission within the group that's not convenient to discuss. Professor, please don't mention it to anyone else either."

After saying that, he quickly asked, "It looked like someone went to that corner just now and was secretly watching me. Did you see who it was, Professor?"

"I only noticed you coming out from there; I didn't see what happened before. By the way, you're here on a secret mission? I don't believe it."

"Professor Wang Wen can go back and talk to Deputy Director Yang about it."

Upon hearing the name of Deputy Director Yang, Wang Wen's suspicions were somewhat alleviated.

Bai Yu thought to himself, "I should have just taken my phone openly and sent a message. Going to a corner might not attract attention from others, but it would easily alert the mole."

If I can't correct it this time, I can only try not to do it again.

just

During the subsequent hour or so, no one reported him to the authorities.

No one was found whose footprints matched the soil.

The method of investigating cases by looking at the mud on other people's feet is no longer effective.

It wasn't until around 3 p.m. that everything was ready, and the weather was also great.

Bai Yu and the others quietly watched the scene outside from inside the control room building.

Dark clouds loomed overhead, and the sky was covered by a huge black curtain.

The people in the laboratory were anticipating the impending thunderstorm.

In the first step, the wire mesh begins to slowly release electrical energy.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky, like a long dragon, rushing into the arena.

The rain started to pour.

Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed.

As the lightning intensified, numerous electric arcs flickered throughout the test site.

This scene is absolutely breathtaking!

Suddenly, another thick bolt of lightning struck, striking straight into the scepter.

This is like a starting point.

The next moment, seven bolts of lightning struck simultaneously, pouring into the scepter.

Within the area enclosed by barbed wire, violent arcs of electricity transformed into electric snakes, converging towards the center and surging into the scepter.

The battery consumption number on the side kept rising.

100030008000

The scepter appeared completely unresponsive!

Professor Feng exclaimed in surprise, "Your scepter is quite something!"

Soon, the power consumption increased rapidly, and the entire test site turned completely white, making it impossible to see the scene.

According to data monitoring, a large amount of lightning energy has indeed mysteriously disappeared.

In no time, the battery consumption jumped to 10, 12, 15, 20, and 30.

You can even see that the barbed wire is twisted and flickering.

Professor Feng frowned. He was a strong-willed person. If his laboratory couldn't even fill up this one thing, what was the point of it?

Fortunately, when the power consumption reached 36 kilowatt-hours, the Thunder Scepter finally responded.

It floated in the air, seemingly guiding the surrounding lightning power, like a monarch, making the raging lightning docile and orderly.

Numerous strange inscriptions also appeared in the air.

Ultimately, the power consumption stopped at 469,527 kWh!

Looking at the perfectly shaped scepter in the arena, Professor Feng felt a surge of excitement.

If it weren't for the lightning outside the building, he would have loved to go out right now, pick up the scepter, and test its power.
