Chapter 820: Vitality Compression Accelerator

In the huge laboratory that looks like a warehouse, there is a strange device placed horizontally. It looks a bit like the old single-person shoulder-fired rocket launcher.

But this thing is really too big. When placed horizontally, its length is almost reaching the limit of what the laboratory can accommodate. It also looks more high-tech, with circles of crystal rings on it.

Overall, it's a huge stick of metal and crystal.

"Are all of these made of Yuan gold? Those crystals on it should be Yuan crystals, right?" Zhou Wen asked with some shock.

If this thing is really made entirely of Yuanjin and Yuanjing, then the amount of materials consumed is simply unimaginable. Zhou Wen's Yuanjing are already a lot, but they can only account for a small part of it when used on this huge machine.

"Fifty-nine percent is Yuanjin, twenty-eight percent is Yuanjing, and the rest are some auxiliary materials." An Sheng said.

"What the hell is this? It can't be a large rocket launcher, right?" Zhou Wen asked.

"You can also think of it as an oversized bazooka. It functions similarly, but it's different. It's a vital energy compression accelerator," An Sheng explained. "Its main function is to compress vital energy and then accelerate it to launch it."

"How powerful can it be?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.

An Sheng thought for a moment and said, "This is a very complicated question. The power depends on the amount of Yuan Qi and the enhanced speed. With my current skills, I can compress a maximum of 4.5 tons of Yuan Crystals at once, and then accelerate to supersonic speed."

"I don't understand these. Is there any simpler metaphor?" Zhou Wen asked.

"Because we haven't used that many Yuan Crystals during the experiment, the strength we're talking about now is only theoretical. According to calculations, a full-strength Yuan Qi launch should be more powerful than a Tyrant Behemoth's full-strength attack. Of course, this is only theoretical. In reality, a single launch requires a large amount of Yuan Crystals, and refining the Yuan Crystals and then compressing them in the launcher takes a long time. Even if all the materials are prepared in advance, the launch will still require more than ten hours in advance to achieve maximum power."

"It sounds troublesome." Zhou Wen said.

"It's indeed troublesome, but that's because the initial foundation was too weak. Many technologies were developed piecemeal, and it's not the best solution yet. But now it seems that the approach is correct. The energy is compressed and then accelerated to be launched. The energy explosion is indeed very powerful, and it can cause great damage to dimensional creatures. It is much more powerful than ordinary gold bullets."

Speaking of this, An Sheng seemed a little excited: "The biggest difficulty now is how to compress the vital energy more effectively. If we can compress the vital energy in advance and create a compressed vital energy bomb similar to a bullet, and then miniaturize the acceleration equipment, then it will be possible to produce a vital energy compression accelerator for single use. However, there are many technical problems that need to be solved slowly. The vital energy compression accelerator that can be built at present is only this big."

"The thing is good, but I probably can't use it right now, right?" Zhou Wen couldn't imagine how to use such a big thing.

If it is used to deal with mythical creatures, those mythical creatures are very fast and they would probably have run away if the accelerator was not aimed at them.

Unless it was a mythical creature with an IQ problem, it would not stand there and allow the energy compressor to hit it.

It is even more fatal to have to prepare for more than ten hours in advance, and you also have to make an appointment before playing. The restrictions are too great.

"This large-scale energy compression accelerator was actually not originally designed to kill mythical creatures in the dimensional realm. It was mainly designed to break the ban on dimensional creatures on a large scale in the future." An Sheng said.

Zhou Wen immediately understood that An Tianzuo had originally researched this in order to use it to defend Luoyang in the future and to deal with a large number of dimensional creatures attacking the city. This thing is still very useful.

"However, the current development direction is still mainly lightweight. We hope that a single-person launcher can be developed within the next few years. However, this is very difficult. It's not just a matter of funding and materials. Many technical difficulties are waiting for experts to overcome. Sometimes a small problem may not be solved for several years..."

Zhou Wen could see that An Sheng had high expectations for this launcher.

Indeed, humans themselves have no way to advance to mythology, so they can only rely on external forces. Companion pets are external forces, and guardians are also external forces. However, An Tianzuo and An Sheng obviously want to try another path.

"We're still researching the Qi Armor, and we haven't achieved any substantial results yet. If both the Qi Armor and the Qi Launcher can be successfully researched in the future, then even a mortal human, controlling these two pieces of equipment, will be able to fight against advanced dimensional creatures, and even kill mythical creatures..."

"I hope that day will come sooner." Zhou Wen felt that if it could really succeed, it would be great. This might be the cornerstone of human social stability.

Just like in primitive society, humans gradually learned to use tools, created cold weapons, and became the masters of the earth. Then they created hot weapons, cars, ships, rockets, etc., and became the rulers of the entire earth.

Perhaps these Qi armors and Qi launchers will be the weapons that humans will use to rule the earth again in the future, provided that they can be successfully researched.

Today's launchers of this size have very poor practical combat effectiveness.

"The governor has been looking forward to that day. He said that even if humans cannot be promoted to mythical beings and their physical strength cannot match those powerful creatures, they will definitely be able to become the masters of the world again." An Sheng said.

Looking at the busy staff in the laboratory, Zhou Wen suddenly felt that the future of mankind might not be without hope.

Many people are secretly working hard to prepare for the large-scale breaking of the dimensional realm. However, the breaking of the dimensional realm may not necessarily destroy humanity.

The only thing they lack now is time. Whether it's people who are practicing hard and want to ascend to myth level, or people like this who are researching new weapons, they all need time.

Zhou Wen left all his Yuan Crystals with Ansheng. He originally planned to sell only a part of them, but was finally persuaded by Ansheng and sold all the Yuan Crystals to him, and some of them were even bartered.

When they were leaving, Zhou Wen finally realized that An Sheng had brought him to see the Qi compression accelerator just for those Yuan Crystals.
