Chapter 548 The Secret of Fruit Awakening
A small bottle of heavy water can spray out a large amount of clean water. Vic wanted to use the heavy water to let Vegapunk understand the law of universal gravitation, which can only be thought of after eating a full apple. The greater the mass of an object, the greater the gravity. Similarly, the greater the mass, the greater the gravity it can produce. He just wanted to provide Vegapunk with an idea.
"What is this? It's sealed so well!"
"Hey! You may not be able to lift this, so don't make a hole in the floor later."
When Vegapunk saw the small bottle in Vic's hand, he wanted to take it and take a closer look, but Vic immediately dodged him. Although the bottle was small, there were more than twenty drops of heavy water in it, which weighed more than twenty tons.
Such a small volume will definitely make a hole if it hits the ground. Although Vegapunk is also a user with special abilities, he is in the form of an ordinary person. Except for his improved brain, it does not make him stronger. Twenty tons is not something he can lift, and he may get hurt if he is not careful.
"Who are you looking down on? Can't I lift a small bottle? Although I am an old man, I once dared to fight pirates with a gun. Show me now!"
Vegapunk was obviously not convinced after hearing what Vic said, but seeing how easily Vic held it in his hand like a toy, he still wanted to give it a try.
"Okay then, I'll put it on the ground and you can take it yourself!"
Seeing that Vegapunk was so competitive, Vic had no choice but to compromise. Vegapunk couldn't lift it anyway. He was too strong now. A thing weighing more than 20 tons was as easy as a toy in his hands. This made Vegapunk misunderstand. If he just showed a little bit of difficulty, Vegapunk would not be so competitive.
Vic placed the small metal bottle directly on the ground. Although no big hole appeared, the ground at the bottom of the bottle had sunk, and Vegapunk's eyes shrank when he saw it.
The ground here has been specially treated, and ordinary heavy objects will never show such behavior. Only objects that are very small in size and very heavy can generate huge pressure to cause the ground to deform or become dented.
However, Vegapunk still tried it, but the bottle didn't move at all. Vegapunk smiled awkwardly but politely to Vic, which was really funny with his long tongue. Vic almost laughed out loud. Fortunately, he had the ability to control the secretion of various hormones and enzymes in his body, which made him calm down instantly.
“The bottle contains heavy water, only about twenty drops, but you know its weight. Can you imagine that water can be this heavy?
I have been researching this for a while. Since I am a natural ability user, I can study this microscopic world more easily and deeply than you, Doctor.
I discovered that the composition of heavy water is the same as that of ordinary water. When I was doing further research, I made another major discovery that may overturn your cognition. I discovered the secret of this world!"
Vic needs to guide Vegapunk to understand the composition of matter, the magical and fascinating microscopic world. Only by understanding the existence of atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons can a smaller and more perfect gravity device be made.
The most in-depth level that Vegapunk has reached is the bloodline factor level, that is, the gene level. It is still far from the molecular and atomic levels. As for the smaller units that make up atoms, it is even more impossible to understand.
"Hmm? The secret of the world? It will subvert my cognition? What did you discover?"
Vegapunk was very interested in what Vic said, although he didn't think Vic had really discovered the secrets of the world.
However, as a user of natural abilities, Victor might have really discovered something about the microscopic world, which might be helpful to his research. He has also been studying devil fruits over the years, but his research progress on natural abilities is very limited.
"I discovered that any substance is composed of three basic particles, and different quantities of these three particles can form the basic units of different elements.
Then the superposition of these basic units forms various pure substances. We can occasionally find these pure substances in nature, but most of them cannot remain pure in their natural state. Doctor, you should be very clear about this kind of substances.
All other impure substances are formed by the reaction between pure or impure substances. However, all substances are composed of three basic particles.
Different elements are formed by different amounts of composition. Do you think this discovery can subvert your cognition? Doctor, do you think this discovery can be regarded as the discovery of the mystery of the composition of the world?"
Although Vic is a user of nature abilities, his elementalization is at most at the molecular level. He can speak of it now only because he learned it in his previous life, and it is also applicable in this world.
The atoms of all elements are composed of protons, neutrons and electrons. Different numbers of these particles result in different elements. This is the basic law of the formation of matter!
The composition of all things is the same, and in this world, if you want to understand it more deeply, you can only do so by awakening the fruit. At that time, you can directly change the composition of the basic particles of the surrounding objects and turn them into elements with the same abilities as yourself to assist in combat or other things.
Therefore, if you want to awaken the fruit, you need to peek into the deeper microscopic world. And just peeking is not enough, you must be able to control those microscopic particles to recombine into substances with the same ability as your own.
For example, Doflamingo assimilated buildings into lines, and after Luffy awakened, he assimilated the ground and living things into rubber.
There was also the battle between Akainu and Aokiji, which permanently changed the celestial phenomena of Punk Hazard, turning the original Spring Island into an Ice and Fire Island. This was because they assimilated the surrounding environment after awakening and recombined the elementary particles.
According to this principle, theoretically, the fruit awakener can turn everything around him into any substance.
But there are limitations here. It is very easy to transform into a substance with the same ability as your own, because there is the fruit ability as a medium and help, so it is easier!
To turn one substance into another is like turning stone into gold, and it is something that only the Creator can do. Humans should not think too much about it. Of course, rule-based superhuman abilities are not included in this category.
As Vic spoke, he took out three metal balls of different sizes from the dimensional space, used his electromagnetism ability to put the two large ones together, and placed the smallest one farther away and displayed it in the air.
This is what Vic used to simulate protons, neutrons and electrons. This is certainly not the smallest unit of matter, but in Vic's view it is enough.
He only had to tell Vegapunk the basic composition of matter, and then tell him that although the particles looked small, the distances between them were still very large.
As long as we can find a way to shorten the distance between particles, substances like heavy water can be created. Of course, heavy water is nothing, it is just an idea that Vic gave to Vegapunk.
There are many substances in the universe that are much heavier than heavy water, such as neutron stars and black holes. The gravity there can directly tear people apart into atoms. That is too scary, and Vic doesn't need it. He just needs one that is suitable for himself and his companions.
"What? You said that all matter in the world is composed of three kinds of basic particles arranged in an orderly manner? Different combinations produce different substances?
If this is true! It is a great discovery that will subvert me, no, not just me, it will subvert the whole world's cognition!
Vic! You really surprised me. I didn't expect that as a young sailor, you have such a keen desire for knowledge. It's really rare!
Unfortunately, I am not a natural ability user and cannot see the microscopic world composed of particles. I think that world must be very exciting, but unfortunately, with current technology, we cannot observe that world!"
Vegapunk was really shocked when he heard what Vic said. He didn't expect that the existence that constitutes this wonderful world is so simple. Three basic particles are all it takes. Is it true that the way of the truth is simple?
