Chapter 121 Dangerous Material Generation Experiment
Su Wanqing carefully placed the last sample bottle into the entrance of the jade bracelet storage space. The sound of metal collision was particularly clear in the silent laboratory.
She set the first set of parameters for the experiment: simulated ambient temperature of 80 degrees Celsius, humidity of 80 percent, and then turned on a weak ultraviolet light to imitate strong afternoon sunlight.
"Lu Zhao, get ready to record data and pay attention to the changes in the space." Su Wanqing's voice was calm, without any ripples.
Lu Zhao stood in front of the console, his fingers tapping the keyboard rapidly, and various data charts popped up on the screen.
"I have connected all the detection ports and am ready to start recording."
He glanced at Su Wanqing with a hint of worry. "This experiment... is very risky, isn't it? We still know too little about jade bracelets. If we rashly conduct this kind of simulation, what if it causes irreversible consequences..."
Su Wanqing ignored Lu Zhao's worries. She was mentally prepared.
From the last material exchange, she had clearly understood that the power of the jade bracelet was far more than a simple "consumption rebate".
It is more like a strange converter that can convert a certain kind of energy into real matter.
Now, what she has to do is to explore the law of this transformation and find the power to fight against the threat of the end of the world.
"Let's start." Su Wanqing waved her hand and started the experiment.
A faint blue light immediately appeared on the surface of the jade bracelet, and the interior of the storage space seemed to light up as well.
A few minutes later, some changes began to appear in the experimental space. A light white mist gradually filled the originally empty space.
The mist grew thicker and thicker, eventually condensing into a sticky liquid that dripped onto the floor of the storage space, making a hissing corrosive sound.
Lu Zhao frowned. "The sample is reacting with the energy in the space. This substance... looks like it has strong corrosive properties! It has corroded the metal floor!"
He quickly recorded the data. "It also generates a pungent smell. The analysis results show that the main component is a new type of fluoride with an extremely high concentration!"
Su Wanqing stared at the data on the screen and thought to herself. The substance generated by the jade bracelet in a high temperature environment can actually absorb the gas diffused by the sample. This is undoubtedly great news for controlling the spread of the zombie virus.
However, the corrosiveness of this substance cannot be taken lightly.
"Lu Zhao, analyze the properties of this substance and see if you can find a way to reduce its corrosiveness." Su Wanqing said.
"Okay." Lu Zhao nodded and began to analyze the data.
Next, Su Wanqing conducted two more experiments. She lowered the temperature in the storage space to minus 40 degrees Celsius to simulate an extremely cold environment.
This time, a crystal clear crystalline material was generated in the space of the jade bracelet.
The material's surface sparkles with a faint glow, looking like tiny diamonds.
Lu Zhao used instruments to test this crystalline material and the results surprised him greatly.
"The structure of this material is very special. It seems to have a strong blocking effect on electromagnetic waves of a certain frequency. Moreover, it is also obviously repellent to the body fluids of zombies! If there is a way to mass-produce this material, we can use it to build a protective barrier to effectively block the zombies' attacks."
Su Wanqing was delighted when she heard the news. It seemed that the potential of the jade bracelet was even greater than she had imagined.
However, the good times did not last long. In the third set of experiments, Su Wanqing reduced the oxygen content in the storage space to an extremely low level, simulating an oxygen-deficient environment.
She wanted to see what kind of material the jade bracelet would produce in this environment.
This time, the reaction in the jade bracelet space was extremely violent. A dazzling fire suddenly erupted inside the storage space, accompanied by a sharp explosion.
The fire spread quickly, illuminating the entire space like day.
Lu Zhao was startled and quickly shut down the experimental equipment. "Oh no! The internal space of the jade bracelet has spontaneously combusted! The energy output is overloaded!"
Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat and she immediately rushed to the control console, trying to terminate the experiment.
But it was too late. A tiny crack appeared on the surface of the jade bracelet, and the blue light became dim.
"Stop the experiment!" Su Wanqing shouted anxiously.
Fortunately, the jade bracelet's self-protection mechanism was activated in time and the fire in the storage space was controlled.
However, the internal space of the jade bracelet was also slightly damaged.
Su Wanqing looked at the jade bracelet in her hand, feeling full of guilt. She knew that she had done too much in this experiment, causing the jade bracelet to bear too much pressure.
"Lu Zhao, assess the extent of the damage to the jade bracelet." Su Wanqing said, her voice a little hoarse.
Lu Zhao quickly scanned the jade bracelet and shook his head.
"The main structure of the jade bracelet's interior has not been greatly affected, but there has been some damage to the energy circuit. It needs to be repaired before it can be used normally again."
"How long will it take to repair?" Su Wanqing asked.
"It will take at least twenty-four hours." Lu Zhao replied.
Su Wanqing sighed and said helplessly: "It seems that our exploration of the jade bracelet is still a long way to go."
"Su Wanqing..." Lu Zhao hesitated for a moment and said, "I have always believed that this kind of experiment is too risky. After all, the jade bracelet is our only hope, and we can't take risks easily. What should we do if it is destroyed?"
Su Wanqing turned her head and looked at Lu Zhao's worried face.
She knew that Lu Zhao cared about her and didn't want her to get hurt.
"I understand your concerns," Su Wanqing said. "But if we don't take risks, we will never find a way to fight the threat of the apocalypse. We must use the power of the jade bracelet to find hope for survival."
"But..." Lu Zhao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Su Wanqing.
"Lu Zhao, believe me." Su Wanqing said, her tone firm.
"I will definitely find a way to control the jade bracelet and use it to help us get through this difficult time."
Lu Zhao looked at Su Wanqing's determined eyes and knew that nothing he said would help.
He nodded and said, "Okay, I support you. But next time before you conduct a similar experiment, be sure to tell me and we can discuss it together."
Su Wanqing smiled and said, "Okay."
She walked to a metal cabinet and opened it. Inside were some energy bars generated from the jade bracelet space.
She picked up an energy bar and took a small bite.
"The side effects of the materials generated by the jade bracelet seem to be greater than I thought." Su Wanqing said in a low voice.
She tried to introduce a small sample into the special storage area of the jade bracelet space to make precise observations on the material generation capacity.
She discovered that although the generated energy bar looked no different from an ordinary energy bar, it emitted a faint radiation.
The effects of this radiation on the human body are not yet known, but it is certainly not beneficial to health.
"It seems that the jade bracelet is not omnipotent. Although it is powerful, it also has its own limitations." Su Wanqing said.
A man in a white coat walked into the laboratory. He was Lin Feng, a biologist in the base, who was usually responsible for studying the mutation of the zombie virus.
He was wearing thick glasses and holding a tablet in his hands.
“Su Wanqing, I just received a report that the number of zombies in the northwest region has increased abnormally.
Moreover, the movement speed and attack power of these zombies are much stronger than before." Lin Feng said, with a trace of worry on his face.
Su Wanqing's heart tightened. She knew that Ye might be using zombies to test the base.
"Lin Feng, tell me in detail." Su Wanqing said.
Lin Feng opened the map on the tablet, pointed to the northwest area and said: "According to the reconnaissance results of our drones, the number of zombies in the northwest area has exceeded 5,000. Moreover, these zombies are moving towards the base. They seem to be attracted by something..."
Su Wanqing looked at the densely packed red dots on the map and became secretly alert.
She knew that a crisis was approaching.
