Chapter 922 Weapons of Anti-personnel Destruction
Chapter 922 Weapons of Anti-personnel Destruction
Chu Chu walked back and forth in the cave, holding an instrument commonly used by miners in her hand, and the expression on her face kept changing.
Lu Li followed behind Chu Chu and also turned over the ore on the ground. Today he was responsible for mining with Chu Chu and protecting Chu Chu's safety.
Aizen is conducting an investigation in the tribe. He thinks that although the Sword Keeper is a bit dull, the tribe does have a long heritage. He hopes to obtain more useful information by reasoning from clues.
Nia was very interested in the planting and hunting of the people in the tribe. After eating the wild rabbit shot by the hunting team, he praised it highly. However, because his appetite was too big, that little food could not satisfy him, so he proposed to go hunting together.
A big wild boar was carried back this morning. Although the male wild boar had not been fanned and had a strong fishy smell, Nia still enjoyed it after it was simply roasted by the tribesmen.
In his words, it was so flavorful, a thousand times better than the company food he ate until he vomited.
In fact, Lu Li felt that the company's technology and the hard work done to improve the taste of the weird protein were okay, but it was really crazy to consume a single nutrient for a long time and eat only one flavor.
It was the first time Nia ate food outside, and he felt that this was what humans should eat, not the damn monster excrement.
"This is not a mining area at all. These minerals were dug out and stored here!"
Chuchu was exploring with amazement in her voice. She leaned over and picked up a piece of silver ore. "Look, this Yusi Mithril is originally a mineral from the deep sea. It can only be formed in cold and high-pressure places. It is extremely difficult to mine. But this piece of ore not only appeared next to the Sunny Star Mine, but also has been preliminarily processed to purify the impurities on the surface."
"What does this mean?"
Lu Li said in confusion that he came to be Chu Chu's bodyguard and didn't mind learning some knowledge about minerals.
“This means that they cannot appear in the same place under natural conditions. This is the best evidence that the ore here was mined and stored here by humans.”
Chuchu explained, "Such a large amount of minerals, and with such purity after only preliminary processing, and they are in a state that is easy to preserve, it is hard to imagine how people in the past did it."
"Compared to the mining technology of our ancestors, I am more interested in why they dug up various minerals and stored them in caves outside the tribe."
Lu Li said as he picked up a piece of black stone and found that it was a fully-rated Immortal Grade mineral. Even in the eighth-level world, it should be the rarest material, but it was not rare here.
"I even suspect that this cave contains most of the precious metals in the world. I've found your equipment. There happen to be several materials in it that meet your requirements."
Chuchu's face was filled with joy. She was an expert at mining, but that didn't mean she liked mining. Now someone had basically done all the mining for her, and she only needed to pick up the ready-made ones, which naturally made her happy.
If you go deeper, you will find that there are more mineral deposits in the areas covered by shallow soil and broken stalactite column debris.
"These are man-made, someone has covered these deposits."
Lu Li raised his head and glanced at the broken stalactite columns above him. The fractures showed obvious signs of external impact.
"If I had a little stash of money outside my house, I would have found a way to hide it, but these people hid it so poorly."
Chuchu said, "I guess they just don't want the beast's feces to contaminate these ores. If this place is discovered by outsiders, the six city-states will go crazy."
Because many of the company's cutting-edge thermal weapons also require rare ores, and electronic communication products require a mineral called rare gold. Only gold wire made from this mineral can achieve perfect conduction.
Certain weapons also have very strict requirements on materials. For example, the company has a weapon called Mother's Sigh, which is similar to a nuclear bomb on Earth in terms of performance, but that weapon can flatten a city in this world that starts at level eight.
If placed in the conventional universe, the power of its detonation would be enough to detonate trillions of galaxies.
In this mine lies the raw material for Mother's Sigh, a rare mineral called hydrohydrogenite.
Although the laws of the universe are slightly different and the elemental forms of this world are also different from the norm, Chuchu feels that the properties of this stone are somewhat similar to water.
However, it will produce a chain reaction under extremely high temperatures. Water will be decomposed into hydrogen and oxygen. Hydrogen and oxygen will burn again to release high heat and turn into water. Because of the high temperature, it will split into hydrogen and oxygen again, and the cycle will continue.
The most special thing about water hydrogen stone is that the breaking of its chemical bonds does not absorb heat, but releases heat. It just needs external high-temperature catalysis when breaking. This causes it to form a chain cycle, with the left foot stepping on the right foot until the explosion spreads and expands to a point where the heat energy is no longer sufficient to catalyze the splitting of water elements again.
Through this terrifying cycle of increasing thermal energy, a fist-sized hydrohydride stone is enough to flatten Sex and the City.
In front of Lu Li and Chu Chu, they found a cubic meter of hydrohydrogen stone deep in the ore pile.
"Damn it, these things can blow this entire continent up!"
Chuchu was very careful when holding these stones. "I want to take back what I said before. The miner has no idea about the functions and properties of these minerals. He actually put the Sunny Star Ore and Hydrogen Stone together!"
"Can you make a water hydrogen bomb?"
Lu Li asked Chu Chu that when he was stealing the company's data, he had also seen the description of that kind of weapon, which was why even someone as bold as him was reluctant to confront the company head-on.
If the other side really can't take him down, and it's a fight to the death, the company will drop a water hydrogen bomb and he and Aizen will be blown to ashes.
The high heat and devastating impact from the central area of the water-hydrogen bomb were enough to vaporize them instantly. At least, it was not something their current physical attributes and defensive skills could withstand.
Even though Lu Li already had considerable strength, he was still unable to break through the overly hard space of this world, and his ability to teleport could not be used at all.
"This is an indiscriminate weapon of destruction. Didn't you say you wanted to save the world yesterday?"
Chu Chu rolled her eyes and carefully separated the hydrohydrogen stone from the Sunny Star ore.
"This is not a conflict. We can do something to protect ourselves. The Sword Guardian is being mysterious. I always feel that this tribe may not be safe."
Lu Li said, "Sosuke conducted a simple investigation this morning. He believes that the tribe may have encountered different disasters in the first five eras. The original scale of the tribe was much larger, and this mining area should have been within the coverage area."
"They really have a huge arsenal, but it's a pity that they only know how to use the Sunny Star ore to make tea and cook."
Chu Chu said, "The water hydrogen bomb is not difficult. Give me some time and I can make a weapon that can control the impact range. But this thing does not solve the problem, you should know."
“We may not need it, but we can’t live without it.”
Lu Li understood what Chu Chu meant, because many powerful monsters have no entity, and it can even be said that they don't even have souls. No matter how powerful the water hydrogen bomb is, it can only kill ordinary creatures, destroy their bodies, and burn their souls, but it can't erase the weird and invisible spirit. Lu Li and Aizen had encountered this type of monster in Sex and the City before. They thought that as the gods of death, it would be easy for them to deal with monsters without entities, but they found that the existence of such a monster was not even a soul.
They were more like a collection of some kind of thoughts and consciousness. If Lu Li's soul had not been able to cause damage to this invisible body, they wouldn't even be able to do anything about that monster.
This is also the important reason why even if humans have powerful military forces, they cannot resist monsters, because they cannot kill this type of monsters at all. They will only be controlled by the monsters in their minds and spirits, and eventually die miserably.
"You're thinking……"
Chu Chu frowned slightly when she heard that, but it was immediately smoothed out, "So you want to deal with those humans."
"History teaches people a lot. I don't know what kind of world you come from, but I know how hard a lackey works when serving his master."
Lu Li said, "Although we are a species biologically, the humans in the major city-states only contribute to the weirdness, and the technological power of humans should not be underestimated."
The extreme destructive power of the water hydrogen bomb can even burn a person's soul. It is a destructive weapon to humans and can also be effective against monsters with physical bodies. Lu Li thinks it is always better to make some and stockpile them to be prepared.
Otherwise, when the army in the city-state came to encircle him and Aizen, they would be in a passive position. After all, they were not monsters and could still be hurt by hot weapons.
The irony is that even though humans have created weapons like water hydrogen bombs, if they want, they can collect and manufacture a large number of water hydrogen bombs and even bomb the entire continent, but they still have to be treated as livestock by monsters.
"I'd better make the equipment for you first. I can process the hydrohydride stone when I have time."
Chuchu said, "Besides, you've eaten so many weird things that it's hard to say that you're the same species as humans from a biological point of view."
"To be honest, in a sense, this world is also a rare good place. The speed at which I become stronger by eating weird things is even faster than eating delicious food in my previous world."
Lu Li said with a smile, and took out some snacks from the storage space, "Are you really not going to try it?"
Chu Chu felt sick when she saw those weird looks. "Thank you for the favor. I'd rather eat the shrimp lunch box."
Although Chuchu was once very jealous of Xia Ren for following Lu Li in the mission world and improving a lot of basic attributes, Chuchu absolutely did not want Lu Li to use this method to let her improve her attributes when he was with her.
Besides, she also knew that the Sword Keeper's skills were extremely risky, and her overall personal attributes were too low, not even up to the standards of ordinary people in this world.
With her mental state, if she ate something weird, she would probably turn into a mad woman in an instant, so she didn't want to try it.
"What a shame. I think once you get used to it, you'll find that weird tastes aren't bad."
Lu Li swallowed a monster, and the power in his body surged continuously. He was in a state of evolution every day and was the fastest growing one among the few people.
This is thanks to his good appetite and the removal of the limiter. Even though Aizen cooperates well with Jasmine and eats a lot of monsters, he still can't catch up with his attributes.
When fighting with Near before, if it weren't for his Mirror Flower and Water Moon that could confuse Near to make a move, and if Lu Li was not still attacking from the side, Aizen would probably have been overwhelmed by the numbers.
Sosuke said that he also has a talent awakening mission. If this world can be completed perfectly, it should receive a wave of enhancements in the future.
However, Lu Li felt that Aizen's biggest disadvantage in fighting in this world was his endurance. Originally in the conventional world, Aizen's strength was already very strong. He could easily walk and fight in the universe and starry sky, and he would not run out of strength even after fighting for several months.
But in this world, on the one hand, the world's basic energy level is so high that their every move will consume more energy, and on the other hand, it is difficult for Aizen to replenish energy in this world.
Even though Aizen had learned some skills to restore soul energy in the space before, they didn't work in this world. If he didn't eat, after Aizen's soul energy and physical strength were exhausted, it would take about a week to restore them naturally.
Because the air energy in this world is turbid, it is difficult to absorb and restore the soul source. However, the sources of power of the weird ones are wide-ranging and their endurance is not weak.
Lu Li was not affected because he had the fairy seed, otherwise it would be difficult for him to recover in this world.
"Stop talking nonsense and pack up. I have already got the necessary minerals. When you come back next time, you will be able to wear new equipment."
Chuchu stood up. She had not yet started the task of collecting the rich minerals here because she felt that the current resources should be given priority over the mining task.
These minerals can arm people, especially Lu Li and Aizen, who both need to update their equipment.
Otherwise, facing this high-intensity world, the fairy-level equipment on them that have not yet been replaced would be extremely fragile.
After leaving the cave with Chuchu and returning to the tribe, Lu Li saw Nia planting rice in the fields.
"You still do this?"
Lu Li felt that the picture was too weird. After all, a cyber-man with a twisted tail planting rice in a field didn't look right no matter how you looked at it.
"Hey, man, don't you think this is hilarious?"
Nia smiled and said, "Emily said that food can be grown in these lands. If these crops can survive, we can eat delicious food that is not weird excrement."
"Brother Nia is very capable. I thought he was a bad guy at first."
Emily also came over from the side. She had just been taking care of the sprouted golden breadfruit seeds.
"He is really not a good person."
Lu Li smiled and held Nia's hand, pulling him up from the slope of the terraced field.
"Oh, my brother, it is very sad that you should say that."
Nia grinned and looked at Emily again, "But he's right, I'm not a good person. When these crops grow, I'm going to eat them all!"
Emily just glanced at the fields with a sad look in her eyes, "It doesn't matter if they can grow."
