In the laboratory that was as huge as a warehouse, there was a strange device placed horizontally. It looked a little like a rocket launcher that could be carried on a person's shoulder.
However, this thing was just too big. It was placed horizontally, and its length was almost at the limit of what the laboratory could accommodate. Furthermore, it looked even more high-tech. There were rings of crystals on it.
In short, it was a huge rod made of metal and crystals.
"Is this all made of Primordial Gold? The crystals on it should be Primordial Crystals, right? "Zhou Wen asked in shock.
If this thing was really made of Primordial Gold and Primordial Crystals, the amount of materials needed was unimaginable. Zhou Wen's Primordial Crystals were already considered a lot, but when used on this huge machine, it only took up a small portion.
"59% Primordial Gold, 28% Primordial Crystals, and the rest are supplementary materials," An Sheng said.
"What is this thing? Don't tell me it's a large rocket launcher? "Zhou Wen asked.
"You can also treat it as a super-large rocket launcher. Its effects are similar, but it's different. This is an Primordial Energy compression accelerator," An Sheng explained. "Its main purpose is to compress Primordial Energy and accelerate it before firing it out."
"What level of power can it reach?" Zhou Wen asked curiously.
An Sheng thought for a moment and said, "This is a very complicated problem. The strength depends on the amount of Primordial Energy and the speed after enhancement. With the current skill, it can compress Primordial Energy equivalent to 4.5 tons of Primordial Crystals at one go. Then, it can accelerate to supersonic speed. "
"I don't understand all this. Is there a simpler analogy?" Zhou Wen asked.
"This is because I haven't used that many Primordial Crystals during the experiment, so the strength I'm talking about now is only in theory. According to the calculations, the strength of a full-powered Primordial Energy launch should be stronger than Tyrant Behemoth's full-powered strike. Of course, this is only in theory. In fact, a single launch requires a large number of Primordial Crystals. Furthermore, it takes a long time to refine the Primordial Crystals and then compress them with the launcher. Even if all the materials are prepared in advance, the launch will take more than ten hours to reach its maximum power. "
"It sounds very troublesome," Zhou Wen said.
"It's indeed very troublesome. That's because the foundation at the beginning was too weak. Many of the technologies had to be explored bit by bit. Right now, it's not the best solution. However, from the looks of it, the path is correct. By compressing Essence Energy and accelerating it, the energy explosion produced is indeed very powerful. Furthermore, it deals great damage to dimensional creatures. It's much stronger than ordinary Essence Gold bullets. "
Speaking of this, An Sheng appeared somewhat excited. "The greatest difficulty now is how to compress Primordial Energy more effectively. If we can compress Primordial Energy in advance and create a compressed Primordial Energy bullet that's similar to bullets, then the acceleration equipment can be miniaturized. When the time comes, we can produce an Primordial Energy compression accelerator that can be used by a single person. However, there are many technical problems that need to be solved slowly. At present, the Vitality Compression Accelerator that can be made is only this big. "
It's good, but I don't think I can use it at the moment, right? Zhou Wen couldn't imagine how he could use such a huge item.
If it was used to deal with Mythical creatures, those Mythical creatures would be very fast. Before the accelerator was aimed at them, they would probably have already fled.
Unless it was a Mythical creature with a questionable intelligence, it wouldn't stand there and let the Essence Energy compressor hit it.
Having more than ten hours of preparation time in advance was even more fatal. They had to make an appointment before fighting. The restrictions were just too great.
"In fact, the original goal of such a large Essence Energy compression accelerator isn't to kill Mythical creatures in dimensional zones. It's mainly prepared for dimensional creatures to break out on a large scale in the future," An Sheng said.
Zhou Wen immediately understood that An Tianzuo had originally researched this to defend Luoyang in the future. It was still very useful to deal with a large number of dimensional creatures attacking the city.
"However, the current direction of development is still to be lightweight. I hope that a single launcher can be researched in the next few years, but it's very difficult. It's not just a problem of funds and materials. Many technical problems are waiting for experts to overcome. Sometimes, a small problem might not be resolved even after a few years … "
Zhou Wen could tell that An Sheng had high hopes for this launcher.
Indeed, humans had no way of advancing to the Mythical stage, so they could only rely on external forces. Companion Beasts were external forces, and so were Guardians. As for An Tianzuo and An Sheng, they clearly wanted to try taking another path.
"We are still researching Essence Energy Armor. It's still in the midst of research, and we haven't achieved any substantial results. In the future, if the Essence Energy Armor and Essence Energy Launcher can be successfully researched, even a Mortal-stage human can fight high-level dimensional creatures or even kill Mythical creatures by controlling these two pieces of equipment …"
"I hope that day will come sooner." Zhou Wen felt that it would be great if they could really succeed. This might be the cornerstone of human society's stability.
Just like in primitive society, humans slowly learned to use tools, created cold weapons, and became the masters of the land. Then, they created firearms, cars, ships, rockets, and so on, becoming the rulers of the entire Earth.
Perhaps these Essence Energy Armors and Essence Energy Launchers were the weapons that humans would use to rule Earth again in the future. The premise was that the research was successful.
The launchers of this size were too weak in actual combat.
"Overseer has always been looking forward to that day. He said that even if humans can't advance to the Mythical stage and their physical strength can't match those powerful creatures, they will definitely be able to become the rulers of the world again," An Sheng said.
Looking at the busy staff in the laboratory, Zhou Wen suddenly felt that the future of humanity might not be hopeless.
Many people were secretly working hard to prepare for the large-scale destruction of dimensional zones. The destruction of dimensional zones might not necessarily destroy humanity.
The only thing they lacked now was time. Be it humans who were working hard in cultivation or those who wanted to advance to the Mythical stage … People like them who were researching new weapons needed too much time.
Zhou Wen left all the Essence Crystals with An Sheng. He originally planned on selling a portion of them, but in the end, he was persuaded by An Sheng to sell all the Essence Crystals to him. Furthermore, a portion of them were bartered.
When he left, Zhou Wen realized that An Sheng had brought him to see the Essence Energy compression accelerator for the Essence Crystals.
