Chapter 58: Powerless
There is one advantage to staying in the General's Mansion.
Gu Lie has a library and does not prohibit "guests" like Jiang Shan from entering and exiting, but they are only allowed to enter the ground floor of the library and are not allowed to enter the upper floors.
——I can’t go up either.
The stairs seemed to be protected by some mysterious wizarding magic. Without a special pass token, there was no way of gaining access to the knowledge on the upper floors of the library.
But for Jiang Shan, it's already very good.
Even though the books on the first floor of the library are all basic common sense knowledge, what Jiang Shan lacks most now is actually basic common sense.
Jiang Shan was particularly impressed by some basic knowledge about wizards.
Jiang Shan learned the nature of wizards from the incomplete bone book he got from Wu Mo, but that kind of general theory, without any basic support, was like a castle in the air and seemed somewhat illusory.
The basic knowledge about wizards in Gu Lie's library helped Jiang Shan fill in a lot of basic knowledge in this area.
The wizard in this world is actually the scientist from Jiang Shan.
The material civilization of this world is actually built on the various results of the wizard group's research on the natural world.
Weapons and armor, city formations, agricultural crops, or human enhancement, blood implants, material research; all kinds of wonderful things were born, such as magic weapons, magic medicine, spells, beast warriors, bird warriors, military battle formations. It can be said to be all-encompassing.
Jiang Shan keenly discovered that the wizards who specialized in the material side had a very clear path - that is, to divide matter infinitely!
The basic theory of wizards is that matter has limits.
This limit is the initial state of matter before the formation of heaven and earth.
By dividing matter infinitely many times, when it reaches its limit and can no longer be divided, we can find the original state of matter and thus glimpse the most essential mysteries of the universe.
This made Jiang Shan think a lot.
Isn't this the same path for molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and even smaller quarks?
Infinitely go deep into the microscopic world, find the most basic particle state of matter, and thus explore the essential rules of the world.
This is definitely a road that leads directly to the avenue! Of course, Jiang Shan has not thought about the avenue or not at this stage.
What he thought of was the more uses of the Wu Ji Jing and its skills in decomposing and recombining.
Jiang Shan once read a science fiction work in which there was a strong interaction material. This material used a certain force field to eliminate the electromagnetic force between particles, allowing the particles to be completely pressed together without any gaps. The creation of this material was absolutely smooth, with a friction coefficient of zero, and was indestructible.
In that science fiction work, this thing was used to build spaceships.
If we can create this kind of material, or even more microscopic and powerful super materials, it would be really awesome.
Jiang Shan felt that the Extremes of Things and Decomposition and Reorganization must have such potential.
He used the Extreme Element Sutra and Decomposition and Recombination to create a nuclear explosion, but it still seemed too crude. There were still countless mysteries to be explored.
Of course, there is a meaning in rubbing a nuclear explosion.
If we can achieve controlled nuclear fusion, it will be of extraordinary significance.
Jiang Shan began to carefully study and experiment with the mysteries of the extremes of matter and decomposition and reorganization, and gradually discovered that the previous nuclear explosions were indeed too rough and general, and lacked fine control.
He also discovered that a nuclear explosion using a single substance would have a much stronger effect than a nuclear explosion using a general mixture of substances.
This reminded him of his own nuclear weapons, which usually used a single substance to create a chain reaction. He had never heard of a nuclear reaction using dozens of substances mixed together.
He vaguely felt that in general, the nuclear energy released by a nuclear explosion was not as large as imagined. It should be that when multiple substances undergo nuclear reactions at the same time, due to the differences between the substances, there is a possibility that the energy will cancel each other out.
Of course, the general method is obviously safer for those who are ready to use nuclear explosions.
Jiang Shan then conducted an experiment. He grabbed a handful of air and reorganized it into a single high-concentration hydrogen gas. He then further rubbed this highly condensed hydrogen gas for a nuclear explosion.
Fortunately, there was only a small ball in the palm of his hand, and thanks to the powerful Wuji Sutra and decomposition and reorganization skills, and thanks to the innate human body and the protection of the Nine Cauldrons Mysterious Art, he still overturned a row of houses in the General's Mansion! The high temperature and huge nuclear energy that exploded at that moment burned Jiang Shan half to death.
He actually rolled out a warhead and detonated it! For a time, the general's mansion was in chaos.
Jiang Shan's innate human race had a strong ability to recover, so his injuries healed quickly, and he never got tired of it. He conducted many experiments and limited the mass of the warhead he made to within the range he could bear. The nuclear energy from the warhead could not explode before it was divided up by the Nine Ding Mysterious Art and the innate human race's body.
I actually found a kind of happiness.
Unfortunately, even though he overturned a row of houses in the General's Mansion, he still couldn't find Gu Lie.
This man is really as hard as a rock! If he can't see Gu Lie, he can't talk, and if he can't talk, he can't do anything; he can't enter the palace, and he can't take Zhong Yu away.
For a moment, the situation was deadlocked here.
I have met Gu Yun many times these days, and through hints during the conversations, I have learned a lot about Gu Guo's current situation.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
First is Gu Wan.
Gu Wan already knew that Gu Lie had captured Zhong Yu, and then he showed strong hostility towards Gu Lie, which made Gu Yun very dissatisfied.
The reason is that Gu Wan and Gu Yun are cousins - Gu Lie is Gu Wan's uncle!
The wife of the Lord of Gu State was Gu Lie's sister. In such a social environment, the Lord of Gu State actually married a wild woman! This could also explain why Gu Lie suddenly got angry at that time!
Because Jiang Shan's words provoked Gu Lie to deal with Gu Wan, and Gu Wan was Gu Lie's nephew! Let the uncle deal with the nephew, the uncle was lucky that he didn't beat Jiang Shan to death.
The other is the King of Gu State.
This king has summoned all the wizards in the country and gathered them in the palace for more than a month. It seems that he is secretly making a big move and is preparing to give Wu Guang a ruthless blow.
As for Gu Lie, Jiang Shan also knew that he was preparing for war. The entire Gu State had become a war machine. The barbarians and the Chinese were preparing for the upcoming war.
Except for the nobles.
The nobles of Gu State were divided. The king had been secluded and had not appeared in public for a long time. The capitulation faction, led by Prince Gu Wan, had been jumping up and down.
Fortunately, Gu Lie was able to control the situation, otherwise the State of Gu would have been in chaos.
Faced with such a situation, Jiang Shan had no way to take Zhong Yu away.
Seeing that the space-time gate had cooled down, Jiang Shan tried every possible way for two days, but still could not see Gu Lie.
Jiang Shan thought secretly that if he stayed here now, he would just have to wait; it would be better to go back first, where he would have plenty of time and could strengthen himself.
—and seek another possibility.
In the final analysis, it is because of insufficient strength.
If you are strong enough, just rob Zhongyu and leave, who cares about Gu Lie or not! So open the time and space gate, one word, through.
